Chapter 453 The Battle of the Team Boss

Buford wanted to resign this time after careful consideration.

As Tang Tian continues to go wild this season, he is criticized online every day and takes the blame. He is really followed by fans and is in danger of being exposed, and who can bear this!

Holt didn't faint this time. After he recovered, he tried his best to persuade Buford, saying his importance to the team, etc. After all, he finally persuaded him to go back.

Now the Spurs management is at the forefront. If Buford resigns, the fans' guns will really turn to him.

He was already very angry, but he didn't want to take the blame again.

After two days of rest, the Pelicans faced the challenge of the Nets at home.

Nets owner Prokorov spent a lot of money last season, but the team was eliminated in the first round.

His understanding is that he didn't spend enough money.

So a wave of tycoons were willful and directly smashed the five All-Star lineups and paid the league's most exaggerated luxury tax of 80 million yuan.

The Nets' current starting lineup is Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, and Brooke Lopez.

If all five of them are at the peak, the league can directly send them the championship trophy in advance.

However, even if they are not at the peak, they are still very strong. They are now ranked third in the Eastern Conference and are full of confidence in the championship.

The Spurs are about to fight against such a strong opponent just after they have played against the Spurs, which is a big test for the Pelicans.

The game has been extremely anxious since the beginning of the game. The scores of the two teams have been rising alternately, and the stalemate has reached the last moment.

This time it was Davis who stepped forward, first blocking Pierce's key layup and grabbed a defensive rebound.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Tian received a second pass from the offensive end and scored 2+1, killing the game directly.

In this game, he scored 25 points, 15 rebounds, 3 steals and 5 blocks, playing the best game of the season.

Tang Tian also continued his hot state in the last game of the Spurs, making 15 of 27 shots, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and scored 40 points and 5 assists.

After scoring 40 points, he expanded his 30+ consecutive games to 6 games, and 40+ games also reached 2 games.

If he scores 40+ points in the next game, in addition to continuing the 30+ record he set, he will also become the first player in the league to score 40+ in three consecutive games this season.

After this game, in addition to bragging Tang Tian as always, a new topic was thrown out by the fans.

Who is the boss of the Pelicans, who has always performed well and Davis, who has historical talent?

In terms of data, Tang Tian averaged 27.9 points, 5.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, while Davis averaged 14.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 3 blocks per game.

Tang Tian is undoubtedly overwhelming.

But the data comes from the number of shots, and Davis is the top pick selected by the team himself, and Tang Tian comes from an outside team.

This topic was actually discussed at the beginning, but because Tang Tian's previous performance was obviously better than Davis and his voice was not very loud.

But as Davis also performed well in this game, the sound became significantly louder.

The NBA is a business alliance because interests are full of all kinds of intrigues, and it is not ruled out that competitors are deliberately creating such sounds.

But no matter what the reason is, this topic is actually very sensitive.

Thanks to Tang Tian’s choice of the Pelicans, Davis is a gentle person.

If you go to the Rockets or the Lakers, conflicts in the locker room will only take a minute.

With this sound, after playing the Nets, the Pelicans flew to New York the next day, where they will usher in a game against the Knicks.

If they can successfully win this game, they will improve their ranking in the West from eighth to seventh, which will be their first time in the season.

The Knicks basically retained the lineup from last season, but the team's performance was very different from last season.

They ranked second in the Eastern Conference last season and are currently ranked tenth this season, so they may not be able to enter the playoffs.

They need a win now to boost morale.

The Chinese market in New York is very large, and this game has attracted much attention from local fans.

Before the game started, many Chinese fans entered the stadium with Tang Tian’s KT board high.

The sensation that Tang Tian has caused in Chinese is even more than Lin Crazy, which also caused in New York.

While warming up before the game started, a sideline reporter interviewed Knicks core defender JR Smith.

"If Tang got 40+ in this game, he would be the player with the most scores in 40+ consecutive games this season."

After asking some regular questions, the reporter mentioned the topic that has been discussed a lot recently.

"Really? That won't work out. We're the top ten teams in the defense this season. We won't get him that score, and it's the Madison Square Garden guy, and it's not easy to get a high score here."

Smith's answer was straightforward.

Madison Square Garden is "Basketball Mecca" and is the place where many glorious NBA deeds take place, such as Jordan's 40+, Miller Moment, etc.

NBA stars are also proud to be able to score high scores here.

But just like the problem of laying eggs and laying chickens with eggs, the Knicks naturally don’t want to be the background board for opponents to score high scores.

This is why Smith said this.

Madison Square Garden was packed that night.

Because of their frequent booing players, the fans here are called the worst fans in the league.

But there is never a shortage of audiences here, because it is located in New York, the most prosperous in the United States.

This is a live game across the United States, with ESPN sending Bolling and Miller to the scene to comment.

CCTV also sent Zhang Weiping and Su Qun to broadcast and comment.

The opening ceremony entered the scene, and the starters of the Pelicans and Knicks successively introduced and appeared.

As a visiting team player, Tang Tian was the second to last appearance, which caused cheers from Chinese fans on the sidelines.

His super high popularity makes him always have this kind of "special treatment" when playing away games now.

Tang Tian waved to the fans as usual.

When he was in the market, he couldn't help but look up at the sky above the arena.

When he was still playing the NCAA, he and Walker played against St. John's University here.

That was the first time he has been here after traveling through time.

Walker looked yearning at that time, but he looked memories.

Two years have passed, and although the Spurs have been here several times before, each time, it seems to have a different feeling.

This is probably the magic of basketball Mecca.

The outside world is talking about his high scores, and this time he has set a small goal for himself.

In addition to helping the Pelicans win three consecutive victories and further ranking, he is also preparing to continue his 40+ score in this game.
