Tang Tian and Whiteside high-fived.

In fact, Whiteside's current flexibility is at the expense of confrontation, and he still has to gain weight in the future, and after gaining weight, he will be a traditional center.

But that's enough, the Pelicans are now on the inside, and one more quasi-All-Star level inside line is an absolute reinforcement.

But before his dream began, Whiteside ate another foul on the defensive end.

Williams replaced him with Aginza.

It seems that Whiteside is really a long way from being a quasi-All-Star.

Durant's outside three-pointer soared.

Looking back, Whiteside's dunk made the Thunder dare not get on the bag at will, and Tang Tian misplaced Adams's change of direction and pulled.

The scoring of the two continued.

At the end of the third quarter, the Pelicans and Thunder were tied at 75.

Durant scored 32 points, and Tang Tian also scored 30 points.

There was still one quarter left to play, and the two of them had completed their scoring task beyond the program.

But it's clear that Williams' tactical strategy worked.

The Pelicans and Thunder are now in a stalemate on the scoreline.

When it comes to the decisive moment in this way, it depends on who is more stable, Tang Tian and Durant.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the main forces of both sides rested on the sidelines.

Whiteside sat off the court with four fouls on his back, and the Pelicans' center on the court was Jason Smith.

Smith received a pass from Gordon and scored a layup as soon as he came up in the fourth quarter and looked in good shape.

But in retrospect, he was immediately beaten 2+1 by Jackson.

That's not all, in just three or four minutes, the Pelicans' interior line is nothing.

Smith and Anderson's interior combination is really like opening the door for people to come and go.

Smith also had 11 points and 7 rebounds when he started this season, but then he was squeezed to the bench by Akinsa, and then in this period, he proved that he couldn't play a tough game with practical actions.

The Thunder also stretched the margin to 84-77 at once.

Williams could only replace Tang Tian and Whiteside in advance.

Gordon missed the pass, the Thunder counterattacked, and Jackson scored a fast-break layup and created Roberts' pull.

After his free throw, the Thunder had a 10-point lead.

This is also the biggest difference between the two teams after the opening game.

"The Pelicans' No. 1 and No. 5 benches are a big problem."

Kenny Smith hit the nail on the head in the commentary at this point.

When playing against a strong team like the Thunder, any Achilles heel will be targeted badly.

Durant was sitting on the floor laughing happily at this time.

This wave is important for the Thunder, and the game is likely to set the tone!

And, more importantly, he's still off the field.

Reggie Jackson is a good guy, although he couldn't help himself two years ago, but after two years, he still grows up!

The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian holds the ball in the frontcourt.

Anderson, Roberts and Gordon all pulled the defenders far away, and Whiteside also sank deep into the basket.

Now that the Pelicans are on the verge of collapse, they can only look at Tang Tian in adversity.

Lamb patted his head as he defended.

He trained with Tang Tian in the summer, and he knew how difficult Tang Tian was to deal with, and coupled with the previous alignment, that feeling was even stronger.

And his kind of character is innate, although he has been whipped by Tang Tian, he will not completely change.

Tang Tian dribbled low, and continued to change direction, and Lamb tried to keep up.

However, at this moment, Tang Tian suddenly accelerated and squeezed through, and his confrontation was obviously a little unbearable.

Tang Tian squeezed Lamb away and then burst to the free throw line.

Adams, who was on the inside, didn't have time to make a save and stuck with Whiteside under the basket.

"Huh!"

Tang Tian's shot hollowed into the net.

There was no rebounding.

Durant's face changed off the court.

Tang Tian, this guy always comes to ruin his good mood.

The Thunder's offense in the frontcourt, Jackson's strong burst resulted in Whiteside's fifth personal foul.

Durant screamed excitedly from the bench.

That's it, these pelican guys!

Williams held his head on the sidelines, and the frequency of Whiteside's fouls was really not an exaggeration.

However, he didn't make a substitution, Whiteside is now a substitute, and he will be able to complete the task with two more minutes.

"5 times, he 5 times!"

Fisher reminded Jackson loudly at this time.

Jackson nodded when he heard it, and continued to kill the basket after using Adams to block it.

Whiteside looked a little afraid to make a move at this point.

Jackson goes straight to a quick layup.

"Bang!"

However, as soon as he shot the ball, Whiteside quickly reached out and gave him a pegboard hat!

Whiteside's brain circuits don't seem to be the same as ordinary people, he doesn't care about what he's already done 5 times!

And after the block, he also got a defensive rebound!

The Pelicans directly pushed the counterattack, Tang Tian received a long pass from Roberts in the fast attack, he shook off the chasing Lamb, and chased the dry pull three-point shot.

The ball swirls in the air and crosses an arc.

"Huh!"

Three-point shot into the net!

Tang Tian scored 5 points in a row!

The difference has been narrowed to 5 points!

Brooks shook his head from the sidelines and got up to wake Durant up.

Durant walked briskly to the tech desk.

"Smack!"

However, as soon as he arrived, Tang Tian snatched Jackson's breakthrough and directly attacked by himself!

Williams didn't let Tang Tian defend against Durant, but he didn't say he wouldn't let Tang Tian defend against Jackson!

Jackson's mind was dreaming back to two years ago!

Things are no longer human, but some things seem to have never changed!

For example, Tang Tian's raw robbery!

Tang Tian quickly attacked the front court and directly made a one-arm violent buckle.

After scoring 7 points in a row, he helped the Pelicans chase the difference to 3 points in the blink of an eye!

Durant was in a hurry on the sidelines at this time, but the game didn't go into the dead ball, and he couldn't play at this time.

Tang Tian's consecutive scores aroused the fighting spirit of the Pelicans players on the court, and Lamb's breakthrough turned out to be covered by White Anderson!

The Pelicans played offense-defense transitions again.

Tang Tian took the lead, after receiving a pass from Roberts, the explosive package attribute was triggered, and the layup after the confrontation with Jackson caused the latter's foul and scored!

2+1！

There was a lot of restlessness on the sidelines.

If Tang Tianjia hits the free throw, the Pelicans will directly catch up!

The good news is that the blue-faced Durant has finally been replaced.

Two minutes ago, he was still happy and comfortable, but after two minutes, he was already angry.

Tang Tianzhen couldn't let him be in a good mood.

Westbrook frowned as he watched from the sidelines.

Tang Tian declined his invitation to dinner before the game, looking at the state of Tang Tian and Durant, it is not ordinarily difficult for the relationship to ease.

Tang Tian had a chance to add a penalty, and he adjusted his breathing to hit steadily.

To say that Williams' strategy of not letting him defend Durant is really right.

After this free throw, his score was already up to 40.

This is the fifth time he has scored 40+ points this season, except for the game against the Timberwolves, which is abuse, which is really the easiest time for him to score 40+.

After Durant came up, the Thunder's firepower resumed, and the scores of the two teams were also sharply deadlocked.

This Pelicans game is really impressive.

Except for the opening part of the fourth quarter, they played evenly with the Thunder throughout the game.

Of course, Tang Tian is the most critical person, he scored 5 points in a row in the next step, and when the game entered the last three minutes, he had already scored 45 points!

This score has already broken his previous career record of 44 points against the Warriors!

It's already the night of his career!

And the game is not over yet!

Durant on the opposite side also scored 40 points!

At the last moment of the game, the battle for the scoring title between the two also came to a white heat.

"Can anyone tell me how much difference they are in points per game?"

Barkley said with a sudden interest.

Smith flipped through the tablet and quickly gave the answer.

"By less than 0.1 points, Durant is ahead."

Tang Tian's previous comeback was not good, and coupled with the weak strength of the opponent, his average points per game was declining.

Durant stabilized his output and overtook the score.

"With this momentum, Don has to score 50 points to be able to overtake."

O'Neill continued.

"The premise is that Durant doesn't score 50 points."

Smith took the conversation, and he was still very strict.

I don't know if Smith has a poisonous mouth, and the two teams on the field are really in a scoring drought.

Whether it is Tang Tian or Durant, or Westbrook or Davis, the shots of both teams are hitting iron one after another.

In the final minute of the game, the score on the field was 103 draws.

And Tang Tian and Durant's scores have not risen again!

Barkley patted Smith on the shoulder, and the smile seemed to say, "You're going to take my title of Big Mouth!"

The final minute, the moment of the game.

At this moment, the Pelicans suddenly adjusted, Morrow replaced Amino, and Tang Tian directly opposed Durant!

At the decisive moment, the Pelicans still came up with the strongest move.

Durant was also excited at this time, and the Pelicans were giving him a chance.

Opposing Tang Tian to end the game, there is no better script than this.

He hit Tang Tian on his back, turned around and broke through the flip back jumper.

His technique and tactics are very coherent.

"Smack!"

But the moment he pulled the ball, he felt a lightness in his hand.

The ball was cut off by Tang Tian!

Tang Tian's defensive skills come from Allen, and his defensive style is also very similar to Allen, giving enough interference.

Although Durant has completed the technique and tactics, he is actually barely able to complete it now due to insufficient confrontation!

The scene was in an uproar.

Durant bombarded the whole game, but the pair was ......

Tang Tian's fast break after the steal was pulled by Westbrook from behind.

Because he was in a hurry, there were no other players in front of Tang Tian in this ball, and it was still a physical foul.

Opportunity for two free throws.

Brooks stood on the sidelines in despair.

The two cores of the team contributed two turnovers at critical moments.

Tang Tian adjusted his breathing, and hit both penalties in the face of the boos in the sky.

The Pelicans took a two-point lead and had possession.

Tang Tian's personal score also came to 47 points.

Williams called a timeout, and the offense was important for the Pelicans.

If you score, you'll probably end the game.

When the timeout came back, the home fans were all on their feet.

Pelicans sideline ball out.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The cheers reached the highest decibels.

The sound that a person can make when standing is significantly louder than when he is sitting.

The Thunder's defense was also extreme, and Tang Tian didn't have any chance to catch the ball at all.

By the time he came out to catch the ball, it was already half the time, and it was directly a double bag.

He didn't pass the ball this time, and he made a big change to the right and then made a quick stop.

With Davis and Whiteside under the basket, it doesn't matter if he doesn't shoot.

"Bang!"

He didn't make the key ball under high pressure.

But Whiteside stuck Adams at this time, and Davis jumped up to make up for the ball!

The Pelicans have a four-point lead!

The last 30 seconds!

The Thunder called a timeout!

The Pelicans' bench erupted in cheers of excitement.

This time, Davis stepped forward at a critical moment to share the pressure for Tang Tian!

"They really have a future."

Barkley repeated in the commentary box.

This is the first year that Tang Tian and Davis have been combined, and they have played this situation with the Thunder, who are second in the West, and they have a 4-point lead at the critical moment.

Although the stability of playing is not enough because of the youth, the future is really promising!

Coming back from a timeout, the Thunder serve in the backcourt.

Westbrook quickly holds the ball and advances to the frontcourt.

Now the Thunder have two options, either play a quick 2-point and then defend one, or press the time to hit a 3-point and then foul.

The Thunder's option was to play a quick two-pointer.

Westbrook directly borrowed Adams' block and rushed into the interior line, directly bombing the turtle.

But Whiteside stood outside the reasonable collision zone and stopped his layup!

The Thunder almost lost their chance!

At the critical moment, the young Adams stepped up, he grabbed the offensive rebound, and scored the second offensive after a continuous confrontation with Whiteside!

The Thunder chased the difference to 2 points!

However, after this wave of offense, the Thunder's strategy failed, and although they scored 2 points, they had less than 20 seconds left.

They had to go down the road of fouling early.

The Pelicans served quickly from the baseline, and Tang Tian received the ball.

Westbrook, who was next to him, immediately fouled.

That's when the Pelicans' free throws come to the test.

Tang Tian's two free throw opportunities.

The scene created an unprecedentedly loud wave, and Tang Tian was also dazzled by all kinds of air sticks in front of him.

However, he has the free throw king skill in hand, and this physical exertion is really not too big compared to before.

After hitting both free throws steadily, Tang Tian scored his 49th point, and the Pelicans once again stretched the difference to 4 points.

The Thunder called a final timeout.

The hearts of the fans at the scene felt like they were about to jump to their throats.

It's just an ordinary regular season, but the two teams have the feeling of playing the playoffs.

Back from a timeout, the Thunder had a tactical opportunity from the outside.

This time it was Durant who shot out of position, and he misplaced to meet Davis' high-pressure defense.

It's hard.

"Huh!"

But the basketball still fell into the net bag!

Three points for the big heart at the critical moment!

Durant pounded his chest and roared after scoring the goal.

His three-point goal was quite relieved.

A difference of 1 point!

The Pelicans didn't call a timeout, and the baseline sent the ball straight away.

There was only one purpose in doing this, to put the ball in Tang Tian's hands.

Tang Tian is the boss of this team, and he is also the most consistent player in free throws.

In the last 8 seconds, the Thunder team fouled Tang Tian again.

It was still two free throws.

If neither of them or one, the Thunder have a chance to kill, and both of them have a chance to enter overtime.

Just before Tang Tian's free throw, Tang Tian's personal data was played on the spot, with 49 points, 3 boards, 5 assists, 3 steals and 1 block.

He only needed one free throw to score the first 50 points of his career.

The cheers at the scene were overwhelming, higher than the previous decibels, and the eardrums of the piercing people hurt for a while.

Tang Tian's first penalty after adjusting his breathing.

The ball is shot and makes a beautiful arc through the air.

He didn't seem to be disturbed by the outside world.

"Huh!"

The first free throw was hit.

He scored the first 50 points of his career!
