Chapter 489 Ability to Score Points (Third Update!)

This scene seems familiar.

In the 1993-94 season, when O'Neal and David Robinson competed for the scoring title, there was such a scene.

David Robinson and O'Neal were closer in scoring at the time, with O'Neal leading by just 0.06 points.

Because the average points per game were too close, the Spurs frantically shot Robinson in the last game that had nothing to do with the outcome.

As a result, Robinson made 26 of 41 shots in that game, scoring 71 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

This also means that if O'Neal wants to win back the scoring champion, he must score at least 68 points in the last game.

In the end, O'Neal only scored 32 points the next day, regrettably losing the scoring champion.

This has also become the most amazing scoring battle in NBA history.

And now, history is about to repeat itself.

"Don, just shoot, we will keep feeding you the ball."

The Pelicans locker room, Evans said.

Among the starters of the Pelicans, Davis is cute, Holiday is quiet, and Aminu is also humble. Except for Tang Tian, ​​​​the one who can talk is Evans.

Evans spoke, not only the starter, but other players nodded one after another.

Most of them took Tang Tian's Ferrari, and there was no reason for them not to pass the ball to Tang Tian in such a situation where they were the top scorers.

And because winning or losing doesn't matter, Williams wouldn't mind if they did.

In Oklahoma City at the same time, Brooks called the players together.

Westbrook's injury has healed nine out of ten, but he won't play in the last game just to be on the safe side.

"Pass the ball to Kevin more during the game."

Brooks is using the rights of the head coach to make demands on the Thunder players.

He didn't say it very bluntly, but the players knew that Durant would definitely be the scoring champion.

The players nodded one after another. Although they didn't want to help Durant from the bottom of their hearts, they still had to listen to what the coach said.

Reggie Jackson pursed his mouth. His scoring in the second half of the season was obviously not as good as before, all because Durant grabbed the scoring title.

It seems that he has to find an opportunity to talk to Brooks about his position in the team.

"Guys, Kevin needs this scorer."

After Brooks left, Westbrook pulled the players and said.

He speaks, and the concept of Brooks's opening is completely different.

Brooks is the order, and Westbrook is the request.

Westbrook is a courtesan who is unparalleled in the team. He said that even Jackson is willing to give this face.

Durant didn't say much, he was the scoring leader, and Westbrook should speak for him as a brother.

On the last game day, other games have ended one after another, and the games between the Pelicans and the Thunder will continue.

The difference between the two games was exactly 2 hours, which meant that Durant basically had to follow Tang Tian's face.

In short, as a rule, he must get 10+ points more than Tang Tian.

The two of them have decided to score points in the last game.

But their opponents obviously won't give this chance.

The Bulls arrived in Oklahoma City a day early, and the team conducted a public practice.

After the training, in addition to head coach Thibodeau, Butler and Ruhr Deng also became the focus of interviews by reporters.

Because they will face Durant in the last game.

Deng is relatively humble, and basically said some polite words in interviews.

But Butler, not so polite.

Except for Tang Tian and Thibodeau, he didn't pay attention to other people at all.

"Yes, I will do my best to defend. We need this victory. I will devote myself to defending him in the game."

When reporters asked Butler how he would defend, he hardly hesitated.

"We all know Durant is going to be the scoring champion this year."

The reporter may think that Butler didn't realize this, so he reminded him.

"Is it related to me?"

Butler's answer left the reporter speechless.

This really has nothing to do with Butler.

"No, it does."

But Butler suddenly denied his own words.

Just when the reporter was puzzled and thought he was going to change his mind, Butler spoke again.

"Westbrook doesn't play. If we want to win the game, we must limit his scoring, so we must do our best to limit his scoring."

The reporter smiled wryly after hearing this.

Well, Butler didn't intend to give Durant face at all. Instead, he reiterated his determination.

After Butler accepted the interview, he went to practice on his own.

He now feels that the reporter has a brain problem.

Not to mention that the Bulls needed this victory, but with his relationship with Tang Tian, ​​it was impossible for him to allow Durant to win the scoring title.

Those who are not selfish are not human beings.

At the same time, in Los Angeles, the Lakers at home are also ready to play against the Pelicans.

Like the Bulls, they are determined to win this game.

However, it is slightly different from the Bulls, or Butler, the team's head coach and team boss Kobe have a different attitude towards the scoring championship.

"We don't care about that, we care about the team winning."

D'Antoni answered quite simply.

Compared with D'Antoni, Kobe's answer is very intriguing.

"What we need is this win, and if Don gets 70 and we can win, I'd rather he get 70."

Kobe's character, most people can't catch his eyes at all, but Tang Tian is the only exception.

Tang Tian helped him twice, he couldn't hate Tang Tian like Butler hated Durant.

Popularity seems to be innocuous in the NBA, but sometimes it can play a key role.

And what he said is indeed correct. The Lakers are still coached by D'Antoni, just playing fast, so it is wrong to let them think about how to defend Tang Tian.

What they will do is score more points than their opponents and win the game.

But no matter what the members of the two teams say, the Bulls and Lakers are determined to win the final game.

On April 17, the game between the Pelicans and the Lakers took the lead in the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The scene was full, and the focus of the whole world was on this game.

In addition to the three giants of TNT sitting in the commentary, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun also appeared on the scene to broadcast.

If Tang Tian can score high points in this game, it will be the first time in NBA history that a person of yellow race has won the scoring title.

They must witness this extraordinary moment on the spot, and they may also interview it as soon as possible after the game.

"Today, the Pelicans don't care what is reasonable or not. Give Tang Tian the ball and let him shoot hard. That is the most reasonable way of playing."

Before the game started, Zhang Weiping had already started to warm up for the game.

Thanks to monologue ㄟ and tatami ray for their rewards!
