The first thousand two hundred and seventy-six chapters of Los Angeles forced brothers(1/2)
During the pause, Vogel, as the coach of the Confucian Republic, rarely spoke to raise the volume.
After the tactics were arranged, Kidd, James and Durant kept emphasizing something.
After the timeout, the Lakers' tactics have changed. The biggest change is the position of James and Durant.
Originally, most of the Lakers' offensive rounds were Durant standing on the side, and James started from the top of the arc with the ball.
But now two people are one on the left and one on the right.
Durant restrained Tang Tian's defense on the left, and James launched a breakthrough from the right.
Siakam's defense is very tough, but James also plays very tough.
The two men fought head-on, and James's attack after the confrontation caused Siakam's defensive foul.
Vogel is still a skilled coach, and this adjustment is timely and correct.
No matter how strong Tang Tian defends, he cannot move from one side of the court to the other.
If Tang Tian is stripped from the Pelicans' defensive system, the Lakers' offensive efficiency will significantly improve.
James walked onto the free throw line, he adjusted his breath and hit both free throws.
Such free throw performance was unusual for him, and it was obvious that what Kidd said to him during the timeout was very useful.
But immediately, Tang Tian stopped and hit the ball under the double-team of Middleton and Durant.
Before the pause, Tang Tian sent two seconds of passes, and Vogel was afraid to no longer have double-teams as unscrupulously as before.
But this is the result of not being so double-teamed. The two double-teamed, even wingspan monsters like Middleton and Durant, could not stop Tang Tian from scoring.
56 to 65, the difference between the two sides is still 9 points.
James continued to break through in the frontcourt, and Davis came to assist in defense and double-teaming.
James made a pass in seconds, but the Pelicans' assisted defense rotation was very fast. When Lopez took action, he was disturbed by Tang Tian and failed to enter. Davis reclaimed the defensive rebounds under protection.
The Pelicans directly played defensive counterattack. After Tang Tian got the ball, he passed two consecutively, and went to the frontcourt to make a layup to cause James's foul.
The fans at the scene made crazy noises, but Tang Tian’s free throw was very stable and both free throws were made.
There was a commotion at the scene.
The timeout has just returned from the Lakers' tactical changes, including James' toughness, which has given them the opportunity to stabilize the situation.
But Tang Tian's continuous score instantly made this opportunity slim.
Before the timeout, Tang Tian pulled the Pelicans back from the desperate situation. After the timeout, Tang Tian helped the Pelicans catch up with points.
If you are watching the game live with text, then the ones that are dancing on the screen will be Tang Tian’s name!
It’s all Tang Tian!
"Bang!"
At this moment, Tang Tian stole the pass from James to Wade!
Still Tang Tian!
Zhan Wei’s tacit understanding for so many years was predicted by Tang Tian!
This defensive state has reached a new level!
Fortunately, Wade is experienced and fouled against Tang Tian on the spot, so he did not give the Pelicans a chance to play a defensive counterattack.
The number of 5 fouls in a single quarter has not yet arrived, and the Pelicans serve in the backcourt.
Brogden advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Tang Tian, who continued to take the ball to launch an attack.
The Lakers are still just double-teaming, but this time they are Wade and Middleton.
Although his body size is not as good as Middleton and Durant, his advantage lies in his experience and speed. The two of them are up and down, and they can interfere with each other.
However, Tang Tian still turned around and leaned back in the double-team of the two.
"Swish!"
The basketball shot again, and it was hollow into the net!
And the key point is that Middleton saved the ball too fiercely and was even called a defensive foul by the referee!
2+1!
With the sound of interference all over the sky, Tang Tian’s extra punishment also came in!
61 to 65!
After returning from the timeout, Tang Tian scored 7 points in a row, narrowing the gap to 4 points!
Vogel's targeted and correct adjustments failed to stop the Pelicans from chasing points because Tang Tian's condition was too hot!
This section completely became Tang Tian’s solo performance show.
While he scored 25 points in a single quarter, he also sent 5 assists.
The Pelicans scored a total of 40 points in this quarter, of which at least 35 points came directly or indirectly from Tang Tian!
After the third quarter, the Pelicans not only smoothed out the score difference of 15 points, but also overtook 73-70!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, James and Durant fought for a quarter and both rested off the court.
The two of them looked at each other, and they saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
From desperate situation to adverse situations, and then to good times, Tang Tian did the work of three Spurs GDP alone.
The fourth quarter became a replica of the third quarter. Tang Tian's offense was still fierce, but the Lakers' offense recovered their form, which was comparable to the Pelicans in this quarter.
Until one and a half minutes before the final game, the score on the field was 90-95. The Lakers were only 5 points behind the Pelicans, and the ball rights were also owned by the Lakers.
James broke through with the ball in the frontcourt and scored the ball with Siakam's defense.
With a 3-point difference, the Lakers still have a chance to win over a minute.
Looking back, amid the cheers of fans, the Lakers defended a key attack from the Pelicans. Siakam received a pass from Tang Tian, and his layup that he was determined to win was destroyed by James.
In the next round, Durant received a pass from Wade in a beautiful running position, and shot Green's assisted defense from outside the three-point line.
"Swish!"
Accompanied by the tsunami of mountains and seas at the scene, basketballs came into the net.
At the last moment of the game, James and Durant stood up together and helped the Lakers tie the score!
There are the last 50 seconds left.
Stevens reached out and called for a pause.
James and Durant cunched each other when they left the court.
Although they were a little helpless at the beginning of the fourth quarter, they finally joined hands to help the team tie the score.
The fans on the scene also felt excited.
Although the team's performance in the third quarter is average and now it's just tied the score, at least from the perspective of time, they have the opportunity to have the last attack. As long as they defend the Pelicans' attack, they will have the initiative in the game.
After the timeout, Tang Tian held the ball and pressed the time, and waited until the attack time was pressed within 10 seconds before launching the attack.
This time the Lakers were double-teamed by four people, and Tang Tian was double-teamed by... he chose to break through.
The Lakers' five cumulative fouls have arrived at the end of the festival, and they dare not take action easily.
Tang Tian rushed into the three-second zone with a double team, and a flying layup that was out of his right hand.
James, Durant and Lopez jumped and blocked.
Tang Tian suddenly arrived at this position, and he could not score at this time point.
But at this moment, Tang Tian showed his waist strength as the best man in history, and directly collected the ball in the air and moved it, gliding through the three of them in a siege, and then completed the pull-up counter-basketball with the falling.
The ball swirled and drew a small parabola and fell into the net bag!
Tang Tian scored in this goal with four people defending!
There was an uproar in the scene.
The four-man defense is not enough, what do you want the Lakers?
Vogel reached out and called for a pause.
There were still the last 20 seconds, 2 points behind. Compared with the optimism in front, the fans on the scene felt the pressure at this time.
After the timeout, the Lakers beat the pick-and-roll in the last few seconds. James returned the ball to Durant who was backing back after misplaced against Tang Tian.
Durant's move-received a three-pointer.
Siakam rushed forward, Durant's goal was difficult.
But he took action very firmly.
Tang Tian is in a hot state tonight, and the Lakers don’t want to play overtime with the Pelicans!
The ball flew towards the basket, and the ballistic looked very positive.
"Swish!"
