Popovich reached out and called a timeout.

Tang Tian's hot hand felt hot this time, which could no longer be solved simply by adjusting his defense, and he had to call a pause to interrupt it.

After the timeout, the Spurs replaced all the main players in advance.

Popovich didn't dare to hold it up at this time.

The Pelicans, for their part, also brought Davis and Ariza on the court early, and Jokic, who played well in this period, remained on the court.

After a timeout, Gasol received a second pass from Parker under the basket and turned to score for a layup.

The Spurs regained the lead.

The Pelicans are crazy about chasing points in this section, but the Spurs themselves are not weak!

Davis' layup was deflected wide and Gasol Jr. picked up a defensive rebound.

With this offense and defense, the Spurs regained their foothold on the court.

In the frontcourt, Leonard singled Ariza and turned for a layup.

"Bang!"

Davis redeemed the credit, and the assistant defense came over to reward Leonard with a pegboard hat and successfully picked up a defensive rebound.

The Pelicans counterattacked, Tang Tian and Holiday played two to one in the frontcourt, and he received a pass from Holiday and scored a layup.

This is already his 13th point in a single quarter this quarter!

The Pelicans tied the score again!

The main forces of both sides came back and continued to fight in bayonet mode.

Here, Leonard made a mid-range shot, and Davis scored two points on the layup.

Here Tang Tian hit a difficult back-up shot after breaking through, and Parker also scored two points on a layup.

By the time the game reached the last minute, the score on the field was 103 draws.

The offensive efficiency of both sides in this quarter is not low, and the level on the court is definitely at the level of the playoffs or even the finals.

Pelicans' ball possession.

As soon as Tang Tian got the ball, Green and Leonard both pounced.

Tang Tian has scored 20 points in a single quarter this quarter, and this scoring explosion has caused trouble for the Spurs' scalp.

Tang Tian passed the ball to Ariza, but Ariza didn't shoot, and when Tang Tian accelerated the ball through the bag, he returned the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian received the ball and entered the inside line, and the tough confrontation with Pau Gasol caused the latter's defensive foul.

He walked to the free-throw line, adjusted his breath, and hit two free throws.

He scored his 22nd point of the quarter and helped the Pelicans take a crucial two-point lead.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The fans at the scene took the initiative to start cheering for the Pelicans.

With about 50 seconds left in the game, the defense of this round is crucial.

The Spurs continued to play hammer play, and Pau Gasol pulled to the outside of the three-point line to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.

The shot was a bit sudden, and Jokic didn't get much of a distraction.

"Bang dang!"

However, Gasol's three-point game was inconsistent, and the ball smashed into the frame.

Under the basket, Duncan showed the attributes of the stone Buddha at the critical moment, jammed Davis, and made a light touch on the ball before Davis's long arm touched it, and added the ball to the basket.

The two sides are tied again!

The Spurs are really tenacious!

Williams called a timeout for the last 30 seconds.

If the Pelicans want to win the game, they have to score their next offense.

Many fans at the scene gasped for breath, the ups and downs of this game were quite intense, and people with bad hearts couldn't stand it.

Coming back from the timeout, the Pelicans didn't make any roster changes, and Williams kept Jokic, who had played the entire fourth quarter.

After the timeout, the other four all pulled away, and Tang Tian held the ball outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right wing.

He made a series of low-lying dribbles and then accelerated to shake off Green.

The Spurs were far away except for Parker on the far end, including Duncan on the inside, Gasol on the outside, Leonard on the weak side and Green behind him, and the four of them surrounded Tang Tian.

This is the highest level of defensive treatment, and Popovich's last key ball will not give Tang Tian a shot.

Tang Tian burst into the free throw line, and there was no way out.

He jumped high and flicked the ball back to Jokic at the top of the arc.

After all, Jokic has played in the European professional arena for many years, and although he is a rookie, his mentality is really stable.

After receiving the ball, he saw that Gasol was far away from him, adjusted it, and then threw it directly.

This kind of key ball!

The fans held their breath.

They know Tang Tian's big heart, but Jokic is a rookie, and this is the first time they have seen him shoot such a key shot.

The ball's trajectory is positive, and the dynamics look good.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball fell heavily into the net bag.

Jokic made his fourth and most crucial three-pointer of the game!

This kind of key ball looks at the psychological quality of the player, and now it seems that Jokic's psychological quality is hard enough!

In the final 16 seconds, the Spurs called a timeout.

The cheers of the fans at the scene have erupted.

Many fans stood up excitedly and waved their fists and shouted.

This three-pointer, at worst, can also ensure that the Pelicans are invincible in the regular season!

The Pelicans' bench was also boiling.

However, Jokic was calmer after throwing in, just waving his fist.

Tang Tian smiled and went over and touched his head.

This ball is really good enough.

This scene was seen by Whiteside in the audience, and his mood was a little complicated.

Once upon a time, Tang Tian also touched his head like this.

After a timeout, the Spurs serve in the backcourt.

Parker quickly held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, and Pau Gasol blocked it at the top of the arc.

Parker quickly burst into the basket with the ball.

With 16 seconds behind and 3 seconds behind, coaches usually bet on three points, but Popovich chose a surprise move to grab two points first.

Parker was fast enough to hit the basket and fly to the basket for a layup.

But at this moment, Davis flew over from the weak side, stretched out his long arm, and directly gave Parker a pegboard hat!

The moment the ball was covered on the basket, the fans were already excited.

This block from Davis basically killed the game!

Jokic protected the defensive rebound, and he was smart enough to call a timeout as soon as he got the ball.

With 13 seconds left, but without the ball, it was hard for the Spurs to win.

Popovich shook his head helplessly on the sidelines, his tactical thinking was correct, and Parker executed it well.

But Davis's block was really too unexpected.

It can only be said that Davis has really made great progress in the past two years by Tang Tian's side.

After the timeout, the Pelicans served in the backcourt, and Jokic successfully sent the ball to Tang Tian.

Green immediately fouled, and Don went to the free throw line.

Tang Tian walked to the free throw line, and the scene was already resounding with deafening MVP cheers.

This game has played to the current situation, and it really depends on Tang Tian's scoring explosion in a single quarter.

Tang Tian adjusted his breathing, and his physical exertion was also very large at this point.

The first shot was a bit short, and it stumbled a few times in front of the basket, as if it turned the hearts of the fans upside down.

But fortunately, the ball ended up flipping in.

The second penalty Tang Tian adjusted and scored steadily.

The Pelicans took a five-point lead.

The Spurs called their final timeout of the game.

At this moment, a leaderboard was played on the LED screen on the spot.
