Chapter 1034 Dreaming Back to 2011 (First Update!)

"Uh-huh!"

But as soon as they had this idea, Tang Tian hit a pull-up three-pointer from the outside to stop the bleeding for the Pelicans.

Walker and Davis failed to score consecutively, and Tang Tian began to take over the firing power.

Returning to the defensive end, Butler also increased his defensive intensity against Harden.

Walker and Davis are out of form, but the Pelicans still have Tang Tian and Butler.

Harden's breakthrough step back was interfered by Butler and missed, and Dedmon protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans played a defensive counterattack, and Tang Tian caught the ball and passed two people, and scored with a light pick-up basket.

After his 5-0 personal attack, the score on the field became 9-12.

The Pelicans are only 3 points behind!

Walker and Davis' pick-and-roll didn't work well, and the Pelicans began to show their strongest card!

Tang Tian turned around and hit the target while double-teamed;

Tang Tian lowered his body to dribble, cross-stepped, then made an emergency stop and then made a pull-up;

Tang Tian broke through to the basket and scored 2+1 after the confrontation;

…

About 10 minutes into this quarter, the Pelicans turned away and led the Rockets by 5 points, 21-16.

Tang Tian scored 12 points in just five minutes, showing his true qualities as the best player in the league.

At this time, both sides began to rotate.

Stevens' rotation was very different from the previous game. He took Walker and Tang Tian off the court to rest, leaving Davis and Butler on the court.

The pick-and-roll between Walker and Davis didn't work. He was very decisive and used the two directly.

Butler and Davis contributed more energy on the defensive end and launched consecutive defensive counterattacks.

However, Bo Yang was a bit unlucky and was called for three fouls in two minutes.

Although the number of substitute fouls does not need to be controlled as much as the main force, this number is a bit too much.

After the first quarter, the Pelicans still led the Rockets 27-22.

Although the score was behind, both the Rockets players and the fans at Toyota Center were extremely excited.

They were in a stalemate with the Pelicans!

This is something neither the Bucks nor the Thunder have ever done!

Their idea is right. The lineup is not about how strong it is on paper, but about the most suitable one!

They really have a chance to take down the Pelicans tonight!

Substitute transition period in the second quarter.

For the Rockets, D'Antoni let Paul lead the team on the court.

Paul, Gordon, Gerald Green, Mbah a Moute and Zhou Qi.

For the Pelicans, Stevens fielded an interesting lineup.

Because Bojan had already committed three fouls, he did not let Bojan play again, but he also did not let Siakam play the third position.

Walker, Lamb, Tang Tian, ​​Siakam, Harrell!

A very interesting thing is that Stevens unknowingly put the UConn Trident on the field together!

The fans at the scene did not react much, but some UConn fans on the hotline instantly became orgasmic.

After Walker joined and Lamb was traded to the Pelicans, they were waiting for this moment.

Unexpectedly, they were already waiting for the second game!

When the three of them took the field wearing the same team uniforms, they felt like they were dreaming back to March Madness in 2011!

In the second quarter, the Pelicans took the lead.

Walker held the ball for half the game, and Tang Tian took the initiative to set a pick-and-roll for him.

Just this scene has already made the UConn fans on the hotline climax again.

After Tang Tian became the number one player in the league, others were always picking and rolling for him.

But now he's blocked by Walker!

I'm afraid only Walker will let him take the initiative to pick and roll!

A block, a break, Walker held the ball and rushed in, and Tang Tian walked out.

Neither Rocket team dared to double-team.

Walker beat Green one-on-one, accelerating and squeezed past the iconic underhand layup!

The familiar feeling brought back his touch!

After Walker scored, he glanced at Tang Tian, ​​and the two had a perfect understanding.

In the Rockets' offense, Paul and Zhou Qi moved inside in a pick-and-roll.

The quality of Zhou Qi's pick-and-roll was not high. When Paul took the shot, Harrell interfered with the ball, and the ball hit the front edge and hit the frame.

Siakam protects the defensive rebound!

The Pelicans directly launched a defensive counterattack. Tang Tian and Walker flew out at the same time, and Siakam threw the ball to the closer Walker.

Walker took two steps and made a long pass. After receiving the ball, Tang Tian accelerated and threw away Paul, without giving the opponent any chance to make any small moves, and directly made a one-handed chop.

"Bang!"

Tang Tian's dunk made the basket buzz.

A powerful and heavy slam!

“UConn Basketball!”

"Connect to UConn!"

“Connecticut Huskies!”

…

The UConn fans on the hotline were already chanting in unison.

Walker is one and Tang Tian is another. The pick-and-roll and fast break between the two are all distant memories for them, but now they are appearing in front of them again!

This is really unspeakably exciting!

Gordon's three-point shot in the frontcourt was interfered by Tang Tian and missed.

Harrell protected the defensive rebound.

The Rockets retreated in time this time and did not give the Pelicans a chance to directly counterattack.

Walker took the ball to the frontcourt to play position.

Tang Tian continued to use the pick-and-roll.

One pick and one break, one inside and one outside, the same coordination.

However, the Rockets made defensive adjustments this time. They first double-teamed Walker.

Then when Walker returned the ball to Tang Tian, ​​Green on the weak side switched defense, and Gordon was ready to save again.

This is equivalent to using help defensive rotation to make up for the defensive pressure.

But this is equivalent to giving Tang Tian a chance to fight one by one, and there is still a lot of risk.

But Tang Tian didn't play. He made a trademark pass without looking at anyone and threw the ball directly to Lamb!

Lamb also has a tacit understanding, habitually reaching out to catch the ball, jumping up and shooting directly.

An open three-pointer!

The ball drew a spinning arc in the air.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball hits the net!

Walker, Tang Tian, ​​Lamb!

The three of them took turns to score goals, and the UConn Trident showed its strength on the NBA stage!

Many UConn fans on the hotline were moved to tears.

This is so classic!

Although UConn also won the championship in 2014 under the leadership of Napier, it was far from the legend it was in 2011.

You must know that in 2011, UConn defeated many seeded teams and counterattacked all the way to the finals!

That was also rated by the NCAA as the most incredible team performance in the past two decades.

Now, 6 years later, they can actually see the UConn Trident again in the NBA!

Dreaming back to 2011!

The Pelicans are starting to gain momentum.

Paul held the ball and rushed to the basket, but Walker gave him a lot of confrontation.

Paul used a small and hidden movement to push Walker away to create space for himself, but at the moment he took action.

Tang Tian jumped into the air from behind him.

"boom!"

A nail-board hat that blocks out the sky!

He also grabbed a defensive rebound!

The Pelicans fight back!

Walker led the way.

At this time, something different from the UConn period occurred. Tang Tian did not look for Napier and directly took a long shot from the backcourt.

Walker caught the ball comfortably, accelerated to the frontcourt, and made a light layup!

9 to 0!

In the second quarter, Stevens sent the UConn Trident on the field, and the Pelicans played a wave, directly opening the point difference to 14 points!
