Tang Tian and Whiteside high-five.
In fact, Whiteside's current flexibility is at sacrificing confrontation. He still needs to gain weight in the future. After gaining weight, he will become a traditional center.
But that's enough. The Pelicans' interior now has an extra quasi-All-star interior, which is an absolute reinforcement.
However, before his dream began, Whiteside took another foul on the defensive end.
Williams replaced him with Akinsa.
It seems Whiteside really has a long way to go before the quasi-All-star.
Durant made a three-pointer from the outside.
Looking back, Tang Tian also made a move to attack Adams in dislocation.
The two of them scored a good match and the show continued again.
After the third quarter, the Pelicans tied at 75.
Durant scored 32 points, and Tang Tian also scored 30 points.
There was still one game that didn't play, and the two of them completed their scoring tasks beyond the scope.
But it was obvious that Williams' tactical strategy worked.
The Pelicans are now in a stalemate with the Thunder.
This will depend on which of Tang Tian or Durant is more stable.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the main players of both sides rested on the sidelines.
Whiteside sat off the court with four fouls on his back, and the Pelicans center was Jason Smith.
Smith received a pass from Gordon in the fourth quarter and made a layup. He looked in good shape.
But when he turned around, he was immediately beaten by Jackson 2+1.
That's not all. In just three or four minutes, the Pelicans' inside line was useless.
Smith and Anderson's inside combination is really like opening the door for everyone to enter and exit.
Smith also performed 11 points and 7 rebounds when he started this season, but was squeezed to the bench by Akinsa. Then in this period, he proved with practical actions that he could not fight a tough battle.
The Thunder also widened the gap to 84-77.
Williams could only replace Tang Tian and Whiteside in advance.
Gordon made a mistake in passing, the Thunder made a counterattack, Jackson made a fast break layup and also made Roberts' hand.
After his extra free throw, the Thunder have led by as much as 10 points.
This is also the biggest difference between the two teams since the opening.
“The Pelicans’ No. 1 and No. 5 substitutes are very problematic.”
Kenny Smith hit the nail on the head in the commentary seat at this time.
When fighting a strong team like the Thunder, any fatal weakness will be targeted miserably.
Durant was sitting off the court and laughing happily.
This wave is very important to the Thunder, and the game is likely to set the tone!
And more importantly, he is still off the court.
Reggie Jackson is a good guy. Although he couldn't help him two years ago, he still grew up after two years!
For the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt.
Anderson, Roberts and Gordon all pulled the defenders far away, and Whiteside also sank deep under the basket.
Now that the Pelicans are on the verge of collapse, I can only look at Tang Tian in adversity.
Lamb patted his head while defending.
He trained with Tang Tian in Xiatian, knowing how difficult it is to deal with Tang Tian. Coupled with the previous matchup, the feeling was even stronger.
Moreover, his personality is inherent, and although he has been whipped by Tang Tian, it will not be completely changed.
Tang Tian lowered his body to dribble, and changed directions continuously, Lamb tried hard to keep up.
But at this moment, Tang Tian suddenly accelerated and squeezed by, and his confrontation was obviously a little overwhelmed.
Tang Tian squeezed out Lamb and then suddenly reached the free throw line.
Adams, who was in the inside, had no time to save and got stuck at the basket with Whiteside.
"Swish!"
Tang Tian's move was hollowed out into the net.
No rebounds.
Durant's face changed from behind.
This guy Tang Tian always comes to ruin his good mood.
The Thunder's frontcourt offense and Jackson's strong breakthrough caused Whiteside's fifth personal foul.
Durant shouted excitedly on the bench.
That's it, the guys who killed the Pelicans!
Williams hugged his head on the sidelines, and Whiteside's foul frequency was really exaggerated.
But he didn't make a substitution. Whiteside is now a substitute and will complete the task in two minutes.
"5 times, he has been 5 times!"
Fisher shouted to Jackson from the side.
Jackson nodded when he heard this, and then continued to kill the basket after using Adams to pick-and-roll.
Whiteside seemed to be a little afraid to take action at this time.
Jackson made a quick layup.
"Bang!"
But as soon as he took the ball, Whiteside quickly reached out and gave him a nail-board hat!
Whiteside's brain circuit seems to be different from that of ordinary people. He doesn't care about what he has committed!
And after blocking, he also got defensive rebounds!
The Pelicans directly pushed the counterattack. Tang Tian received a long pass from Roberts in the fast break. He shook Lamb, who was chasing him, and took a three-pointer.
The ball flew in the air and drifted in a arc.
"Swish!"
Three-pointers penetrate the heart and enter the net!
Tang Tian scored 5 points in a row!
The score difference was narrowed to 5 points!
Brooks shook his head straight on the sidelines, got up and called Durant.
Durant walked quickly to the technical table.
"Bang!"
However, as soon as he arrived, Tang Tiansheng snatched Jackson's breakthrough and directly launched a fast attack by himself!
Williams did not allow Tang Tian to defend Durant, but he never said he would not allow Tang Tian to defend Jackson!
Jackson dreamed back two years ago in an instant!
Things are no longer the same as people, but some things seem to have not changed!
For example, Tang Tian’s life robbery!
Tang Tian quickly attacked the frontcourt and dunked with one arm.
After scoring 7 points in a row, he helped the Pelicans catch up to 3 points in the blink of an eye!
Durant was anxious on the sidelines at this time, but he didn't score a dead ball in the game, so he couldn't play the game now.
Tang Tian’s continuous score aroused the fighting spirit of the Pelicans players on the field, and Lamb’s breakthrough was actually covered by Anderson!
The Pelicans play offensive and defensive conversions again.
Tang Tian took the lead. After receiving Roberts' pass, the explosive package attribute triggered. After confronting Jackson, the layup caused the latter to foul and scored!
2+1!
The sidelines were restless.
If Tang Tianjia hits the penalty, the Pelicans will tie it directly!
The good news is that Durant, who was ashen-faced, was finally replaced.
Two minutes ago, he was happy and comfortable in his life, but two minutes passed and he was already angry.
