Chapter 831: Breaking Jordan's Record!
Barkley really wanted to punch O'Neal in the smug face, but unfortunately it wasn't an opponent.
He could only pray that Curry would explode again in the third quarter and pull one back for him.
'We're ahead, but we can't afford to let up, we're against the defending champions and we can't afford to take them lightly at any point, not to mention that we're only 13 points ahead now.'
At halftime, Stevens gave the Pelicans players a full shot.
Tang Tian's 40 points in the half set a new record for playoff halftime scoring in history, but the Pelicans, as he said, only led by 13 points.
Curry scored 28 points in the half, and Thompson, Green, Iguodala, and even Bogut on the bench all had outstanding performances.
The Warriors, who completed the 1-3 comeback, are really in good shape.
The Thunder cornered the Warriors and consumed the Warriors, but at the same time, they also forced the strongest side of this Warriors team.
In the face of such an opponent, they really can't relax for a moment.
"Yes, we need to stay focused for 48 minutes."
Tang Tian took the lead in expressing his position, and the rest of the Pelicans team also echoed one after another.
Just like the championship trophy tattooed on Tang Tian and Davis' arms, their goal this season is only one championship.
None of them can afford to let up until they win the championship!
Coming back at half-time, the players of both teams were still in high spirits.
Curry came up and scored a big three-pointer, raising the score to 30+, and at the same time, he also announced that the touch he lost in the second quarter was back.
Tang Tian broke through the three-second zone, and the stop-and-go jump shot before the bag was missed.
Turning around, Curry shook Holiday with a three-pointer and broke through to the basket to meet Jokic's throw.
He scored five points in a row after coming up in the second half!
After he scored those five points, the Warriors also managed to narrow the gap to single digits.
Kerr smiled on the bench.
In the second quarter, Curry's hand fell, but Tang Tian's score was still the same.
Feng Shui takes turns, and this verse should be reversed.
But his smile disappeared after a while.
Tang Tian turned around and hit a 2+1 lean back in the bag between Green and Thompson.
The difficulty of this ball is not small, Tang Tian's ability to throw it only shows one thing, and his hand is still very good!
As for the goal in front, the normal hit rate fluctuates, and no matter how strong a person is, it is impossible to score every goal!
The two returned to the hand, and this section once again became a battle between the two sides.
Although the two did not play the full quarter due to physical problems, they still scored 18 and 16 points respectively.
Curry scored 44 points in the third quarter, while Tang Tian's score has reached 58 points!
The emotions of the fans, including the Big Three at the end of the table, have already begun to stir up.
At the end of the quarter, the Pelicans led the Warriors 100-85.
A 15 point margin isn't much for the Warriors, with a dozen remaining in the final quarter.
In other words, Tang Tian is likely to break the single-game scoring record in the playoffs!
And that record is 63 points jointly held by Tang Tian and Jordan.
Distance, really close!
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, both sides were two main players with three substitutes.
This period of fans is engrossed, paying attention to the outcome of the game between the two sides, and also paying attention to whether Tang Tian can break the record.
Davis' low singles went wide of the back, but McGee grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on a layup.
Barnes' breakaway layup was blocked by Davis, who grabbed a defensive rebound and counterattacked.
Dinwiddie sent a second pass in the middle of the fast break, and a jump back pass under the basket gave the ball to McGee, who was fast down.
McGee jumped up to meet Livingston for a dunk and drew a foul on the latter's beater.
He seized the opportunity to hit a free throw, and after scoring 5 points in a row, he widened the difference in the score to 20 points!
played the Rockets in the first round before, because the Rockets started with Cousins and Capela off the bench, all of which were thick and hard, and he didn't have much playing time.
When it came to playing the Warriors, Kerr liked to play a small lineup, and he finally seized the opportunity to play highlight.
There were fans cheering at the scene, but they were a little sparse.
It's not that they don't like McGee's performance, it's because they don't want the Pelicans to pull away too early at this particular moment!
Because in that case, it means that Tang Tian doesn't have to play in the next game!
And Tang Tian doesn't have to play anymore, and the record-breaking thing will naturally be gone!
Wins are important, but they can be there all the time, and the chances to break records don't happen very often.
You must know that even if Tang Tian scored 28 points in a single quarter in the final quarter last season, it was only to tie Jordan's record of 63 points.
It's a hand-to-hand playoffs!
Just when the fans were worried, Kerr became their bosom buddy, replacing Barnes and Speights with Thompson and Bogut.
Thompson didn't play much this time, and finally rebounded at this time.
He first blocked Dinwiddie's breakaway, and then took Bogut's hand-to-hand pass and scored a three-pointer.
After Ariza hit one of two free throws, he received a second pass from Bogut and caused Stephenson's three-point foul!
After shaking his body and scoring 3 free throws in a row, he personally played a wave of 6-1 offense, narrowing the gap to 15 points and bringing the game back to life!
So, when Thompson made free throws, there was an incredible scene on the scene.
There were many fans who cheered for Thompson after he hit the free throw!
It's a playoff away game! And New Orleans fans are notoriously loyal this season!
This reaction only shows one thing, they really want to see Tang Tian break this record!
In the next few minutes, the two sides exchanged offense and defense, and with seven minutes remaining, the score was 114-102.
The 12-point margin is scoreless.
Both sides have successively replaced all the main forces back.
When Tang Tian appeared on the stage, the cheers of the fans were even more enthusiastic than the opening.
Tang Tian burst into the basket with the ball, and cheers rang out from the scene.
When he distributed the ball to Ariza, who was in the open space, there was a commotion on the sidelines.
This is really frightening.
Ariza made a three-pointer, but Thompson continued his hot run and immediately returned a three-pointer.
Tang Tian broke through the three-second zone for a pull-up jumper, and this time his shot grazed the Nets into the frame.
The cheers at the scene burst into flames in an instant.
60th point!
The Warriors were clearly aware of Tang Tian's growing closer and closer to the scoring record, and their defense was getting more and more ferocious.
Tang Tian didn't have a chance to attack in a few waves, and the fans were anxious like ants on a hot pot.
Curry's ultra-long three-pointer is out, and his hand tonight is very regular, accurate in the first and third quarters, and bad in the second and fourth quarters.
In the next round after that, Tang Tian, who hadn't made a shot for a while, suddenly fired a cannon on the outside and pulled out three points against Iguodala's long arm.
Iguodala hit Tang Tian's hand, but he couldn't stop him from making a move.
"Huh!"
"Toot!"
With a whistle, Tang Tian's three-point cold arrow pierced through the net.
3+1!
Three-point shot, but also free throw!
When Tang Tian walked to the free throw line, fans felt that their hearts were about to come out.
After hitting this three-pointer, Tang Tian's score has reached 63 points, tying the single-game scoring record he and Jordan jointly held.
"Huh!"
And when Tang Tian steadily hit the penalty and added punishment, their hearts instantly jumped out of their throats.
The cheers were like a tsunami!
Tang Tian got his own 64 points.
A new playoff single-game scoring record was born!
