Chapter 793 The Pelicans Causing Trouble

"Tang Tian, ​​cover him!"

"Give the ball to Tang Tian, ​​yes, change direction and play with him!"

"What is Davis playing there? Hurry and give the ball to Tang Tian!"

"Haha, look, Harden can only defend with his eyes again. This ball is reasonable!"

…

In Zhang Weiping's iconic commentary, Tang Tian defended Harden's offense again and again, and passed Harden to score or assist again and again.

The two of them ranked first and fifth in the MVP rankings this season.

The rankings are not much different, but the first and fifth hits are very clean.

After all, Tang Tian is much more versatile than Harden, and a superstar who started out as a defender will not be targeted on the defensive end.

D'Antoni trusted Harden very much. Even if he was suppressed miserably, he did not take Harden off the field.

This is the coach's trust in him, but unfortunately Harden really doesn't have much to do against Tang Tianzhen now.

Harden was beaten, and Paul and Cousins ​​were unable to perform like they did in the past two games. The further the game went on, the more points the Rockets fell behind.

After three quarters, the Pelicans had a 98-71 lead of almost 30 points.

Tang Tian scored 40 points in the third quarter, and also had 6 rebounds, 8 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks.

Fans are already celebrating the victory in advance.

And the winner has been decided.

The main players of both sides did not appear in the last quarter.

On-site photographers kept taking shots of the Rockets bench.

Harden's eyes were dull, Paul was unwilling, and Cousins ​​​​bited his finger.

They lost to the Pelicans 1-4. Although they were not swept, such a big score was obviously not a good result for the Big Three teams.

D'Antoni's expression was even more serious. He not only slapped himself in the face with his words, but also completely defeated Stevens.

After today, the conversation about whether he will be better coaching the Pelicans than Stevens can end.

After today, everyone will feel that it was a blessing that the Pelicans signed Stevens but not him.

It's hard for the Rockets players, it's hard for D'Antoni, and it's hard for Rockets fans.

But, there is no way.

Who told them to meet a pelican!

If it were the Warriors, they might be able to go 3-1 like the Thunder.

But, there is no if.

The final whistle sounded, and the score on the field was finally fixed at 119-98.

The Pelicans brutally beat the Rockets at home and eliminated the Rockets with a score of 4 to 1, taking the lead in advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

This is also the second consecutive year that they have entered the Western Conference Finals!

The Pelicans players were celebrating, the fans were celebrating in New Orleans and across the ocean.

This is a winning moment for the Pelicans!

They are one step closer to the championship!

"We've finished this series and now our focus is on the next opponent."

At the post-game press conference, Tang Tian responded when reporters kept asking questions about the Rockets.

No matter how many grievances and topics there were, they all came to an end with the end of tonight's game.

Like he said, they should turn their attention to their next opponent.

The day after the Pelicans series ended, Game 5 of the Thunder and Warriors also ended in Oakland.

The Splash Brothers broke out and scored 67 points together, helping the Warriors chase the lead to 2-3 and continue to retain their hope of promotion.

But the next game is in Oklahoma, which will be their biggest challenge.

The Pelicans practiced for three days in New Orleans and traveled to Oklahoma City before Game 6 between the Thunder and Warriors.

The news caused an uproar.

The series between the Thunder and the Warriors hasn't ended yet, and the Pelicans went to Oklahoma City first?

Do you think the Thunder are going to eliminate the Warriors this time and are adapting to the venue in advance?

There are a lot of discussions from the outside world, and there are also different voices within the Thunder and Warriors.

Westbrook of the Thunder said that they are now only focused on the upcoming sixth game;

The Warriors' Green said this will give them more motivation to win Game 6.

The two teams in the conference finals in the East have been determined, namely the Cavaliers and Knicks.

But here in the West, the matchup between the Thunder and Warriors, coupled with the series of incidents outside the game before the game, attracted much attention.

That night, Game 6 between the Thunder and Warriors kicked off in Oklahoma City.

This is a must-win game for both sides.

Needless to say, the Warriors were in dire straits after 1-3.

The same goes for the Thunder. If they can't end the series at home, they'll be in trouble in a Game 7 game in Oakland.

It was such a game that before the game started, fans discovered unexpected spectators in the stands, the entire Pelicans team!

Not only are all the Pelicans players there, but the entire coaching staff is too!

This time, the fans on the hotline collectively exploded. The Pelicans were just watching the excitement and causing trouble!

But this is where everyone gets the Pelicans wrong.

The reason why Stevens came to Oklahoma City was just to observe the next round of opponents.

In this life-or-death game, both sides will definitely fight without reservation, which is the best opportunity to observe.

The game started soon.

I don’t know if it was because the Pelicans were there to watch the game, but the Warriors started the game against the visitors and played with great momentum.

At halftime, they both led the Thunder by double digits.

This posture was reversed at 1:3.

But the Thunder obviously won't admit defeat easily.

At the beginning of the second half, under the leadership of Durant, the Thunder began to counterattack.

Durant scored 20 points in this quarter, helping the Thunder tie the score at the end of the quarter.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Thunder, led by Waiters, pursued the victory and took a 6-point lead, forcing the Warriors to call a timeout.

“The Thunder are going to win?”

Davis turned to Tang Tian and asked.

Tang Tian shook his head.

"Curry hasn't started yet."

Last year, Curry was able to single-handedly turn the game around and knock the Pelicans out of the game.

This year, Curry is in full swing every day.

Although his performance in the playoffs has declined due to injuries and fatigue, his 11 three-pointers and 40+ points in the last game show that he has recovered.

After the timeout, Tang Tian's judgment was proved to be completely correct.

Curry returned from rest and started the day-to-day mode, with all kinds of incredible three-pointers, and the key is to score consecutively.

The Thunder were still in a stalemate at first, but were quickly defeated by unreasonable or even unreasonable three-pointers.

The Warriors launched a crazy 22-8 offensive to establish the game situation in one fell swoop.

In the end, the Warriors won the game 115-108. After falling behind 1-3, they overcame two games in a row to tie the score at 3-3!

With Game 7 being played in Oakland, their promotion hopes are already greater than those of the Thunder.

At this time, in addition to talking about the game on social media, the Pelicans were also constantly mentioned.

Thunder fans are criticizing the Pelicans, saying that the Pelicans have failed their character, while Warriors fans are thanking the Pelicans for looking down on them.

The series between the Thunder and the Warriors is not over yet, but the topic of the Pelicans continues to rise.
