With a steady hit and a penalty, Tang Tian's defensive counterattack successfully helped the Pelicans narrow the gap to 2 points.

D'Antoni got up from the bench and walked to the sidelines.

Harden went to the frontcourt to continue asking for the ball. Although he didn't score the ball just now, he felt that his thinking was not wrong and that it would work if he insisted on playing.

He changed his backwards and broke through continuously and killed in the inside.

Tang Tian kept his defensive position and did not give him the opportunity to easily go inside.

Harden was a step back while walking, and he was already extremely skilled in the technical sport of retreat.

But he still couldn't get rid of Tang Tian!

Tang Tian is just a candy that he can't get rid of on the defensive end!

This time Tang Tian's cover of the sky was blocked, and he tried his best to avoid the defense.

As a result, the ball he threw was an air balloon, and it was not touched!

There was a turmoil at the scene.

Tang Tian’s defensive pressure is really terrifying!

Harden was defended for two consecutive goals, and one was three-no-touch, but his face did not change much.

Tang Tian consumed quite a lot of energy from these two balls.

D'Antoni looked at Harden who was retreating, and wanted to speak but stopped.

The Pelicans' offense failed to score in the frontcourt, and Capela protected the defensive rebound.

Harden continued to ask for the ball when he arrived in the frontcourt.

There was a commotion on the sidelines.

"Harden is a little bit over!"

Bolling sighed.

"No, he plays very smartly. He is consuming Don't have any energy. Do you remember how the Pelicans lost to the Warriors?"

Miller said.

Bryn nodded thoughtfully.

In the last game, Tang Tian grabbed the offense and defense, and his physical strength was very good, but that was not his fault. There were not many people in the league who could afford it so much.

But you said that it would be even worse to let Tang Tian not attack.

The strongest point of the Pelicans is Tang Tian. If he is asked to give up his offense for the sake of defense, it would be a waste of martial arts and the gains would not be worth the loss.

"That's going to get some points."

McGrady broke the two's argument.

Yes, if you are aiming for this purpose, it doesn’t matter if you are a little less efficient, but at least you have to score points!

No matter what you think, it looks stupid!

Harden obviously knew this, so he glanced at Tang Tian, ​​and then seized a glimmer of opportunity to break through quickly from the right side.

His first move was excellent, reflecting his super-powerful strength, but his speed was still slow, and Tang Tian quickly withdrew from the defensive position.

And more importantly, the confrontation he is best at is not very useful for Tang Tian, ​​and he failed to push Tang Tian away during the breakthrough.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the basket, and Harden turned around and made a layup with his backhand.

It's very beautifully turned.

"Bang!"

However, when he turned around, there was a crisp sound. He wanted to light it up again, and the ball had been shot away by Tang Tian!

Tang Tian’s steal!

People pass by, but the ball passes by!

After stealing, Tang Tian quickly broke into the frontcourt, knocked Paul away and scored 2 points, helping the Pelicans tie the score!

D'Antoni didn't wait any longer and replaced Harden directly.

At this time, it was only more than two minutes before the end of the first quarter, which was a normal rotation.

However, Harden was obviously a little unhappy. He said a few words to D'Antoni when he was about to come back, and was still communicating with assistant coach Buzdrick when he returned to the bench.

Harden came out, the Rockets' offensive strength declined, while Tang Tian played the first quarter on the Pelicans.

Under his leadership, the Pelicans played an 11-1 offensive at the end of the quarter, which helped the team establish a double-digit lead 31-21 at the end of the quarter.

During the inter-course pause, D'Antoni did not accept interviews with reporters on the sidelines, but was communicating with Buzderick and Harden.

The three people are discussing the team's tactical thinking.

The Pelicans used Tang Tian to defend Harden was unexpected by the Rockets before the game, so there was no tactical deployment.

D'Antoni felt that Harden would not be able to continue playing like this, while Harden believed that the Pelicans were in good shape today and that they could win only by playing like this.

The two were a little stalemate, but in the end, Buzderick made a suggestion.

"We can try to attack in the fourth quarter, and James can use the off-ball running position to restrain the first three quarters."

Buzderick's proposal was recognized by Harden and D'Antoni.

After all, he is a defensive assistant and has a different understanding of defense.

Harden's original intention was right, but Tang Tian was full of energy at this time, so he was obviously a bit irritated when he hit him like this.

It would be better to wait until Tang Tian's physical strength declined in the fourth quarter before he fought like this, and then he would have achieved twice the result with half the effort.

When he came back in the second quarter, both sides were the main players leading the substitutes. In this period, Gordon performed well against the old owner, but Williams was not in good shape in the past game.

When the main force was replaced, the Rockets successfully closed the gap to 5 points.

Moreover, the main players of the Rockets came back to adjust their playing style, and from the outside, Harden ran more without the ball to restrain Tang Tian's defense.

This adjustment is very effective, and Cousins ​​continues his outstanding form and scores frequently.

The two teams were in a stalemate in this quarter.

After halftime, the score on the court was 56-51, and the Pelicans led by 5 points.

The tactical changes and adjustments in the first half of the two sides were as exciting as the previous Ueong battle.

Moreover, the halftime star matched, Tang Tian's 20 points against Cousins' 18 points was also incomparable.

The viewing performance of this game is not low.

This situation is the same in the third quarter. The Rockets' current strength is no worse than that of the Pelicans and the Warriors.

The game came to the final victory moment in the last quarter without realizing it.

With 7 minutes left before the end of the game, the score on the field was 86-80, and the Pelicans maintained a slight lead.

In the Rockets' round, Harden held the ball from the outside, glanced at Tang Tian who was defending himself, and then signaled to pull it away.

6 points are not too much, but if they can't make a climax to get closer, they will lose 6 points in the end.

And this time has also reached the time that Buzderick said.

The game was fierce, and Tang Tian basically didn't have much rest. His physical fitness should have been overdrawn like the last game.

Harden thought so and suddenly started the attack. His first step was quick.

But he found that he still couldn't get rid of Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian's body was as light as it was at the beginning!

How is this possible!

Although he basically didn't attack much in the second and third quarters, he was running without the ball. Tang Tian still took the lead on the offense and defense, and his physical strength should be consumed a lot!

"Bang!"

Just as he was shocked, Tang Tian seized the opportunity to take action and broke the ball in his hand!

After Tang Tian steals, he throws the ball to Holiday in a fast break.

Holiday received the ball and made a fast break layup, but he was disturbed by Paul but failed to make progress.

Paul tried hard to defend this goal, and after he arrived at the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Harden.

D'Antoni, Harden and Boozderick had already explained the tactical midfielder in the locker room when discussing, and Paul agreed.

Harden used another attack with the ball, and this time he was even more careful. He had been stolen twice by Tang Tian tonight.

He chose to force Tang Tian to fight to the inside, and then... he found that there was no chance.

The reality is completely different from him or their ideas, and Tang Tian still looks full of physical strength!

He was forced to stop the ball and then passed it back to Paul.

But this was predicted by Tang Tian.

"Bang!"

The moment he shot, he was once again stolen by Tang Tian!

After Harden was cut off, he looked at Tang Tianxia's fast attack and his eyes widened and incredible.

This is completely different from the script they imagined!
Chapter completed!
