"No, you can't do that."

However, Tang Tian's attitude was still the same as before.

"Reed's Return" is inspiring and is once the second highest among the many NBA moments.

But few people have learned in depth that this super center in NBA history who won the regular season MVP, All-Star MVP and Finals MVP, retired at the age of 31.

That is four years after Reed's moment.

The impact of the sealing needle is far worse than expected.

Although medical conditions have improved now, it has only reduced this risk.

"ad, this is only our first year, and our situation is different from the Knicks at the beginning. Even if you play closure, we are lucky to win the tiebreak, and then what? Was it swept by the Spurs?"

Tang Tian saw that Davis still wanted to persevere and continued.

Davis didn't say anything when he heard this. His idea was simple and he didn't think so far.

But what Tang Tian said is true.

It is difficult for the Pelicans to play the Spurs, and he can't play it, so it's difficult for the Pelicans to win.

Moreover, Tang Tian also said that this was only their first year, and it was already very good to play in the Western Conference semi-finals in the first year.

You should know that the Clippers who were eliminated in the first round have been three years since they were formed, and they have only reached the Western Conference semi-finals once.

“What we want to have is the future.”

When Tang Tian saw Davis's expression change, he stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said.

"I still want to play, I can play closure and play less time."

Davis's words made Tang Tian speechless. This guy was so persistent this time. It seemed that he was really unwilling to accept it.

Tang Tian did not rush to deny him this time, but took him to consult a doctor.

These hospitals are all cooperative with NBA teams and are all doctors of the highest level.

Tang Tian’s idea is very simple. If he has to play in a closed position before he can play, he will definitely find a way to stop Davis.

Because this is related to Davis' future and the Pelicans' future.

But if there are other ways to get Davis on the field, that makes sense.

After some exchange, they got good news.

"The shoulder injury of the ad is not a hard injury, so there is another way, we can use muscle patches and shoulder pads at the same time, which can minimize the soreness, but it will still affect the feel and cannot make a fierce confrontation."

The doctor is talking about a backup plan.

I didn't say it before because all this plan can be done is to ensure that Davis plays, which has a great impact on his competitive state.

“I accept.”

Davis made a choice, and he had to go.

During the training class the next day, Davis appeared on the training ground with his shoulder pads.

Before training began, Williams also announced that Davis would start in the tiebreak.

This greatly boosted the Pelicans' morale. Although they were still exhausted in body and spirit, their self-confidence had improved significantly compared to yesterday.

This is the "Reed Effect".

That night, the tiebreak between the Pelicans and the Grizzlies officially kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

Because the final match between the Eastern Conference has been released (Heat, Pacers), the Spurs are waiting for the West, and this tiebreaker is attracting much attention.

The three tnt giants are also in the commentary seat.

At the beginning of the game, Tang Tian and Davis came up and shot one after another, which made the fans on the scene excited.

However, it is obvious that Davis was affected by a shoulder injury, especially the defensive power has declined significantly.

Whiteside has been obviously targeted by Joggel until now, and the lack of experience has been exposed.

The Pelicans play very tenaciously, but they obviously feel like they are at the end of their strength.

At the end of the half, with Tang Tian's 15-point performance in the half, the Pelicans trailed the Grizzlies 35-45 and entered the second half by 10 points.

The third quarter became the watershed of the game. Davis's continuous shooting failed to make the Grizzlies double-team Tang Tian crazy.

It is very difficult for Tang Tian to take action on the defense of the three inner and three outer layers, and his teammates cannot help.

The Grizzlies scored a 25-10 gap in this quarter, and the lead after three quarters has reached 25 points.

The reason why the "Reed Moment" is called a classic is that it only happened once and it is too difficult to copy.

In the last quarter, the Pelicans were also unable to close the score. About five minutes before the final game, Tang Tian and Davis were replaced early.

The fans on the scene gave them warm applause and cheers.

Davis was injured and Tang Tian scored 25 points before the game. The Pelicans scored seven in two rounds, and the game here was far beyond their expectations.

The future is bright, and it is completely acceptable to lose the game after playing here.

The game on the court continued, and Davis watched as the score grew little by little, and his eyes turned red.

In the end, he buried his head in tears.

Seeing this scene, Tang Tian had a new understanding of Davis.

In the past, he only thought Davis was cute and simple, but in the past two days he could feel that he still had a strong competitive heart.

This is also in line with history. In order to pursue the championship in Davis, after playing for 7 years, he chose to leave.

Now that he joins, that kind of thing won't happen again, but he already has that competitive spirit.

He reached out and pulled Davis over, then reached out and touched his head.

Davis didn't hide this time.

Tang Tian touched it back and forth a few times, experienced the long-lost feel, and said:

"ad, this is not the ending, this is just the beginning."

Tang Tian also said this to Walker when he won the championship at Kangda.

At that time, they completed the dark horse feat and were about to embark on the journey of NBA.

Just like the classic "The Wandering Earth" "There are thousands of roads, the first safety; driving is not standardized, and relatives are crying."

The same thing, speaking in different environments will make a completely different feeling.

Now that Tang Tian said it, it was completely different from what he said to Walker at that time.

The last time was a bold statement after success, and this time was an encouragement after failure.

But the same thing is that these are all words full of infinite hope.

Davis looked up at Tang Tian in confusion.

He seemed to have no idea what Tang Tian meant.

"We will win back next season."

Tang Tian was so amused and laughed for a moment, so he changed to a straightforward statement.

With the offseason strengthening and their growth, they will definitely win back next season and will go further in the playoffs.

Davis nodded firmly.

"beep!"

The final whistle sounded, and the Grizzlies defeated the Pelicans 96-76 in the tiebreaker, making it to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year.

This is also the second consecutive year they reached the division finals as seventh in the Western Conference. They are definitely the most difficult opponents in the playoffs.

After losing to the Grizzlies, the Pelicans also ended their season journey.

They ranked sixth in the regular season and eventually stopped in the Western Conference semi-finals.
Chapter completed!
