When the half came back, the fans on the scene remained unabated.

Although there was a draw on the court, the Thunder team, who played at home, obviously had a great chance of winning.

As long as this stalemate continues and defeats the Pelicans, they can become the focus of the league again!

The Pelicans attacked first when they came back in the second half.

Tang Tian and Davis played pick-and-roll, then took apart and broke into the basket, double-teamed the ball back to Davis.

Davis met Durant to assist in defense, and he swayed and took action in the middle distance.

"Swish!"

Basketball penetrated the heart and Davis hit the net steadily with his first move.

Back to the defensive end, the Pelicans' defensive intensity has not diminished, and the Thunder still has no good chance.

Westbrook failed to make a layup from the basket.

The Pelicans fought back, and Holiday received a pass from Tang Tian to fly over Westbrook and scored.

The Thunder played the Pelicans 4-0 at the beginning, and the Pelicans came back in the second half and played the Thunder 4-0 at the back!

Stevens nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines.

As he thought, the Pelicans' overall poor performance in the first half was closely related to the players' relaxed mentality.

It was difficult to adjust in the first half because it was difficult to adjust in the game, but it would be great if I came back from the half-time break.

The Pelicans have averaged 16.5 points in the past five consecutive wins, and this state cannot be said to be gone.

The Thunder's offense has not had a good chance, and the ball was finally given to Durant.

This is to solve the problem just like in the first half, relying on the personal abilities of the superstars.

But at this moment, a burst of cheers sounded at the scene.

Because the person who faced Durant was not Ariza, but Tang Tian!

I didn't pay attention to the previous round, but now I realized that the Pelicans' defense adjustment in the second half actually asked Tang Tian to defend Durant!

Since Tang Tian got to the Pelicans and became the core of the team, the Pelicans have basically not allowed Tang Tian to defend against the opponent's superstars.

After all, human physical strength is limited, and the Pelicans need more is Tang Tian's offense rather than defense, which is related to the team's tactical low post.

But now, Stevens has shown his extraordinary coaching ability and let Tang Tian defend Durant!

This scene has been around for many years, and it has to be recalled that two years ago, when Tang Tian was still playing in the playoffs with the Thunder.

Durant became very excited when he saw Tang Tianfang.

Although he didn't play for a season due to injury, his training has declined and his offensive stability is much higher than two years ago.

However, Tang Tian’s defense has declined significantly in the past two years.

One is rising and the other is getting worse, and this defensive adjustment of the Pelicans is simply giving him a chance.

After he signaled his teammates to pull away, he directly chose to play singles with Tang Tian on his back.

He will definitely seize such an opportunity!

He hits his back, turns left and right, shakes his shoulders, and jumps over.

His technical movements were completed in one go, and his more skillful movements were also a major killer move for him this season.

But just as he was about to take action, he felt a darkness in front of him.

Tang Tian actually came to the face-blocking technique to defend, directly blocking his shooting sight.

"Bang!"

He did not succeed in his first singles against Tang Tian.

Jokic protects the defensive rebounds.

The Pelicans fought back, but this time Robertson defended Holiday's throw.

The Thunder attacked to the frontcourt again, and Durant leaned directly on Tang Tian to continue asking for the ball.

He was careless about the ball just now, and Tang Tian’s defense was less deteriorating than he expected.

He has failed the singles once, and this time he must seize the opportunity.

Westbrook hangs the ball in, and Durant turns around after receiving the ball.

This time he chose to attack the face frame.

He dribbled the ball back and forth with cross steps, and suddenly stopped and pulled out.

This is a relatively simple offensive method, but his long arms, coupled with his current shooting stability, are also the offensive method he is most confident.

"Bang!"

But just the moment before he took action, he felt a lighter in his hand.

Tang Tian quickly took action and dropped his racket!

Tang Tian intercepted the ball and threw it directly to Holiday. Holiday flew into a fast break and made a layup with another 2 points!

The Pelicans played the Thunder 6-0 in the second half!

Durant was a little confused and looked down at his hand, as if he couldn't believe that the ball would be cut off just now.

This made him have many unpleasant memories in his mind.

He was spitted, stolen, blocked, and hit a hit rate of less than 40%...

Those things that happened a long time ago seemed to be yesterday in my mind!

Damn it, this guy Tang Tian has never regressed in defense in the past two years?!

The answer is "yes".

His attack was defended again in the next round, and he confirmed this until his fourth shot didn't hit the first goal in the second half.

The defensive player who gave him the most headache during the Spurs was now standing opposite him.

Everything seems to be reappearing yesterday.

In this section, Durant was completely out of shape by Tang Tianfang, from 1 out of 4 to 2 out of 7 to 2 out of 11.

Kobe began his retirement season, Durant took over Kobe's Mamba spirit and gave his own basket a blow of ice and fire.

Durant was lost in the game, and the Thunder also scored poorly in this quarter. They only scored 12 points in a single quarter, while the opposite Pelicans scored 28 points with the others.

After this quarter, they were already 16 points behind.

A strong team fights, such a situation is fatal enough.

In the fourth quarter, both starters were resting on the court.

Boyang scored a three-pointer from the upstairs, directly widening the gap to 19 points.

There was a turmoil on the sidelines.

If you continue to play at this pace of the game, it is a foregone conclusion that the Thunder loses the game.

However, at the critical moment, the Thunder's inside substitute Kante stood up.

He scored continuously in the interior, and even if Stevens replaced Biyongbo, he scored continuously in the interior.

In terms of offensive ability alone, Kanter is definitely a starting player or even a quasi-All-Star level.

Moreover, the Pelicans' offense is not good at this stage. After playing for more than three minutes, the Thunder reached a 10-1 wave, and the score difference was only 9 points left.

Stevens called for a timeout. After the timeout came back, he replaced Tang Tian in advance.

When the Thunder's new head coach Donovan saw it, he also replaced Robertson on the court.

In the third quarter, Tang Tian’s task was to defend, but at this time, he was obviously going to attack.

Under Williams' command, Tang Tian was a spear that was invincible, but Stevens wanted to turn Tang Tian into a Fang Tian Hua Ji, which was both offensive and defensive.

Tang Tian also knew very well what Stevens wanted. He got the ball in the frontcourt and took a look at Robertson defending him alone, posing in a three-threatening position.

He had already redeemed the ability of the three threats during the offseason, but he didn't use it in the previous games because they were all big wins.

Including the first half of this game, the Thunder's frequent double-teaming made him use more backwards.
Chapter completed!
