Chapter 756 Show Time (First Update!)

At the end of the third quarter, Tang Tian's data was displayed on the LED screen.

Next to this data is marked a new record.

There are not many people in NBA history who have scored 20+20 points. If the range is narrowed down to 20 assists, there are only 12 people.

But among these people, no one can score 20 points and 20 assists in three quarters.

The person who picked him up recently was Paul, who was sitting on the opposite bench with a towel wrapped around his head.

What's very interesting is that the Clippers' opponent at the time was the Hornets, the predecessor of the Pelicans.

At that time, Paul scored 20 points and 18 assists in three quarters, and the Clippers beat the Hornets.

But now, the way of heaven is reincarnation.

The Hornets turned into Pelicans, and Tang Tian returned everything to Paul.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Rockets 123-100 on the road, extending their winning streak to 13 games.

After the All-Star break, they were still undefeated.

Tang Tian did not play in the fourth quarter, but his performance in the three quarters was enough for fans to talk about.

"Now it's not just the Rockets, but the other 29 teams in the league have to think about a question, how can they defend Tang."

"Don is really amazing. He can bring us surprises every season. This pass is the same as last year's fadeaway. It burst out suddenly and caused headaches for all opponents."

"This is not a sudden outburst. Tang's assist numbers in the past few games have been quite high, and the same goes for his previous fade. There was news before that he had been training all summer. This is all the result of accumulation."

"No matter what the reason is, the only thing I'm glad about now is that I am a Pelicans fan, the only group of people who don't have to worry about it ㄟ(▔, ▔)ㄏ"

…

Fans have been talking about it on social media, and the reality is pretty much what they thought.

Before, they could pretend they didn't see it against a weak team, but now they can't turn a blind eye anymore, otherwise they will be the next unlucky ones.

But the problem is taken seriously, but there seems to be no solution.

In the history of the NBA, there is really no player who can develop all three skills of sudden shooting and passing to this extent.

Tang Tian was close to Kobe Bryant at his peak before. With his elusive passing skills, his personal strength must have surpassed Kobe Bryant's.

Although the technical characteristics are different, the last player who gave them such a headache was called Michael Jordan.

"Maybe he just has a good passing touch in recent games."

Unable to find an answer, fans of other teams have come up with this idea.

This was approved by many fans and became their only psychological solace.

Amid the attention of fans, the Pelicans returned to their home court to continue their game against the Grizzlies.

The Grizzlies are known for their defense, and fans are looking forward to their ideas being fulfilled.

It turns out they were half right.

In this game, Tang Tian's assists were successfully limited to less than 10 by the Grizzlies, and he only got 8.

But he scored 46 points in the game, nearly half of the team's points.

The reason for this result was that Qiaogel used single defense tactics against Tang Tian throughout the game.

Tang Tian blasted the old Allen to the point where nothing was left.

Tang Tian played easily, and Stevens also increased his ball holding rate. This time, Tang Tian's ball holding rate exceeded 50%, which also set a season high.

This game also officially told others that this was the result of defending against Tang Tian alone.

To double-team or not to double-team, you choose the way to die.

The other team's option is to double-team.

Tang Tian's personal attack power is too strong. Instead of letting him score, it is better to bet on the poor touch of his teammates.

That's what Carlisle did.

After the game against the Grizzlies, the Pelicans ushered in their last confrontation with the Mavericks of the season.

The Pelicans have won all three previous meetings.

Jennings performed well after arriving in Dallas, and the Mavericks' record also improved.

However, Embiid continued to miss this game due to an ankle injury and could only sit on the sidelines to cheer for the players.

Pachulia started in his place.

Since the last stepping incident, the two teams have been deeply grudged. This time Pachulia's starting game even more stimulated the Pelicans players.

Carlisle used a defensive rotation method this time, and as a result, the entire Pelicans team was in hot shape.

Tang Tian's passing is not only accurate, but also increases the receiver's shooting stability.

The various passing plays in the game were dazzling.

Tang Tian was double-teamed and passed the ball through the gap to Jokic. Jokic passed the ball directly to Davis, who dunked with both hands.

Tang Tian broke through and passed the ball to Davis without looking at anyone. Davis attracted help from the defense and passed to Jokic. Jokic dunked hard with both hands and scored.

Tang Tian suddenly scored Jokic, and Jokic directly returned the ball and threw it above the basket. Tang Tian jumped up and smashed the ball directly into the basket against Pachulia who was assisting in defense.

Pachulia didn't even dare to fart even though she was being restrained.

If you play hard, you are afraid of being dirty, and if you are dirty, you are afraid of being horizontal.

The psychological shadow left by Tang Tian's punch has not been erased to this day.

But that's not the point. It's the way the Pelicans play.

When the Mavericks began to double-team Tang Tian, ​​the Pelicans were in a superb state.

It feels very much like the Lakers team in the late 1980s.

show.time!

At that time, the Lakers had the top four picks in Johnson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Worthy and Thomson. They were extremely powerful and devastating on the offensive end.

The talent of this Pelicans team is obviously not as good as that of the Lakers team.

But Stevens' tactical system has almost taken shape after almost a season of running in, and there is a perfect understanding between the several starters.

The system makes up for the talent to a certain extent, and coupled with the hot state of Bojan and Holiday after the All-Star Game, they really feel that way.

New Orleans fans witnessed a mercury-dropping game that was even more exciting than a regular-season sweep of the Mavericks.

After the game, Butler looked helpless.

This was the last time he and Tang Tian played against each other this season, but even though he scored a season-high 36 points, he still couldn't lead the team to victory.

He suddenly understood Thompson's mood.

It's really uncomfortable to be abused by a brother.

The good news is, Butler isn't alone, as Irving quickly joins him.

After the Pelicans played the Mavericks, they flew to Cleveland to face the Cavaliers for the second time this season.

The result was similar to playing the Mavericks. It strengthened Frye's Cavaliers, but it did not solve their defensive problems.

The Pelicans still played show.time.

Moreover, the Cavaliers' record fluctuated greatly after the All-Star Game, and there were many internal problems.

The Pelicans finally beat the Cavaliers on the road 116-96, ushering in their second 16-game winning streak of the season.

But after the game, the focus of fans was not the Pelicans' performance.

Because after the game ended, the Cavaliers officially announced a piece of news that shocked the league.
