Chapter 1228 Nuclear Weapons to Solve the Problem

Leonard's extra free throw was a solid hit. He scored 7 consecutive points in the opening game to help the Spurs lead 7-6.

Green's catch in the frontcourt missed a three-pointer, and George protected the ball with a long defensive rebound.

After the Spurs advanced to the frontcourt, the ball was still given to Leonard.

The Spurs are just like the Pelicans tonight, not playing in singles.

The fans at the scene began to cheer for Leonard.

Leonard broke through Green again. His body can directly compete with James. He is really strong.

Davis assisted in defense, and Leonard directly distributed the ball.

Bertans received the ball and fired from the baseline.

"Uh-huh!"

Three points into the net.

As a big man, Bertans shot 42.9% from three-point range this season, which is a very scary statistic.

Or to put it more bluntly, Baynes can shoot three-pointers, and his words can really open up the space.

10 to 8!

The Pelicans' opening attack was flawless, but they are still trailing the Spurs!

After being pushed to the edge of the cliff, the Spurs also showed their best form!

Tang Tian hit a three-pointer from the frontcourt.

"Uh-huh!"

Yes!

The two teams are fighting against each other!

Not only the fans at the scene, but also the fans in front of the TV were so excited to watch it that they didn't dare to take a breath.

This is not a simple scoring battle. The defensive quality of both sides is very high. Being able to score the ball is really a matter of ability.

And in the next round, with the bonus of "primary schoolboys' carnival", the Pelicans' defensive intensity became even higher, and the defensive rotation was airtight.

Leonard tried twice without success.

He finally gave the ball to George. George feinted and rushed in, but Green broke it away!

"Snapped!"

But before Green got the ball and passed it out, Leonard suddenly came out from the side and intercepted the ball directly!

When the ball was exchanged, the Pelicans were already on a fast break. Leonard broke back again, and the Pelicans' defense had no time to form.

Leonard took one step away from Green and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

12 to 11!

The Spurs once again took the lead.

The two sides alternated the lead and seized every opportunity. This is definitely the most exciting game in this year's playoffs!

"The Spurs showed confidence to win tonight, and Kawhi was in great shape tonight."

In the commentary box, Barkley exclaimed, but he was a little panicked. Are the Big Three trying to defeat the Pelicans?

However, it turns out that although their chests are plumper than the other, the amount of milk is still almost the same.

The Spurs were in great form, but the Pelicans' offensive continued unabated. The two sides ended the first quarter tied at 35.

The two teams scored 70 points together, and the offensive efficiency of both sides was very high.

It wasn't until the second half of the second quarter that the situation of the game changed.

The main players of both teams came on the court after resting for five or six minutes, and both felt somewhat inferior.

It was during this period that Leonard once again showed his bravery.

Turning back in singles, falling back in double teams, and catching three-pointers from the outside, he played like Kobe tonight.

But the only difference from Kobe is that he is more accurate.

He scored 23 points in the first quarter, and another 13 points in this quarter. By the end of the half, he had scored 36 points!

With his heroic performance, the Spurs also broke the deadlock and ended the half with a 65-54 lead.

Prior to this, Leonard's single-game scoring record in the playoffs was 43 points, but tonight he scored 36 points at halftime. This is destined to be his career night.

At halftime, fans on the hotline were already talking about it.

"Leonard stood up in the game when the team needed him most. He scored 36 points in the half. His performance in the half even surpassed Don!"

"It turns out that the Spurs also have nuclear weapons, but Popovich never flipped the switch!"

"As a secret agent, this is all painful. In the past, Leonard would be substituted whenever he scored 30 points."

"That's right, even though it's injury protection, you can't win MVP without data!"

"The best is better than the old! Leonard taught his big brother a good lesson tonight!"

"I think the Spurs have a great chance of winning the game tonight. If they come back from 3-1 down, nothing is impossible!"

…

The defeat in the last game made Spurs fans extremely desperate, but after halftime, it was obvious that their confidence was back.

Pelicans locker room.

Stevens didn't say many words of encouragement. Although they were 11 points behind, the team's overall morale was still high.

They knew that the first-half deficit was related to Leonard's heroic performance.

Leonard is very strong, but he is not Tang Tian after all. It is difficult to maintain that kind of performance for the whole game.

Stevens is making more tactical arrangements.

Regardless of whether Leonard can maintain that state in the second half, the Pelicans will not use Green to guard him alone in the second half.

After the halftime break, the game between the two teams continued.

The Spurs attacked first, and Leonard broke through with the ball in the frontcourt.

At this time, the Pelicans' defensive adjustments came.

Brogdon ignored White and double-teamed Leonard directly.

And Davis under the basket is always ready to help defend.

Stevens is taking care of Leonard.

Leonard reacted quickly and passed the ball to White immediately.

However, the quality of his passing was average. White bent down to get the ball. When he got up again, Tang Tian had already come to help defend.

The ball finally fell to Aldridge, who turned over against Davis' defense and missed a jumper.

The Pelicans successfully defended this possession.

Tang Tian received the ball and reached half court. He used Davis's pick-and-roll to go to the right, and George and Aldridge double-teamed to defend.

Moreover, Bertans helped defend Davis, and the Spurs also did an excellent job in assisting the defensive rotation.

Tang Tian did not choose to pass the ball. After he moved to the right side of the three-second zone, he turned and leaned back toward the baseline.

George jumped up hard to interfere.

"Uh-huh!"

But his interference had no effect, Tang Tian still threw the ball in!

The Pelicans took the lead in the second half!

Leonard's breakthrough with the ball in the frontcourt continued to be double-teamed by Brogdon. This time he distributed the ball faster, and White, who received the ball, was an opportunity.

"Bang!"

However, White failed to seize the opportunity and hit a three-pointer from the frame.

White's breakthrough is very good, but his season three-point shooting percentage is only 33%, which is similar to Baynes and is not stable.

Davis grabbed the defensive rebound and gave it directly to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian accelerated, smashed the ball into the basket against White's defense, and also caused White's defensive foul.

2+1!

His extra penalty was also a solid hit!

59 to 65!

Tang Tian came back in the second half and scored 4 points in a row. He only scored 25 points in the first half. He was obviously starting to exert his strength when the team fell behind.

Leonard's shot in the frontcourt was double-teamed and missed.

One Green can't stop Leonard, but with the addition of Brogdon, Leonard's efficiency has obviously improved.

Siakam rushed to grab the defensive rebound and turned around to give it to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian suddenly stopped outside the three-point line during a fast break. George couldn't brake in time. By the time he stopped, Tang Tian had already made a three-pointer.

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound, and Tang Tian's chasing body returned a three-pointer!

He scored 8 points in a row, and the point difference was narrowed to 3 points!

The scene was agitated.

But this is not the end.

George missed a three-pointer from the outside. Tang Tian grabbed the defensive rebound, advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and then threw it one meter away from the three-point line!

He felt online and entered personal mode directly!

"Uh-huh!"

There was a crisp sound, like a bucket of cold water poured directly on the heads of the Spurs fans at the scene.

In just three minutes, Tang Tian had already scored 11 points in a row, directly tying the score!

Popovich was forced to call a timeout.

The fans on the hotline exploded again.

Before, they said Leonard was a nuclear weapon, but now it seems that Tang Tiancai is a nuclear weapon with real destructive power!
