It was not the first time that Roberson had played against Tang Tian, and he saw Tang Tian pose as a triple threat and pulled the defensive position half a step away.

Tang Tian made a tentative step forward with his right foot, and then moved back with his right hand under his hip.

It's about shooting!

This was the first judgment in Robertson's mind, Tang Tian's dry pull was fast and accurate, and he pounced directly.

But his judgment was wrong.

After Tang Tian collected the ball under his crotch, he changed direction to the left and directly cleaned him up.

After Tang Tian passed Robertson, before N'Golo Kante came out on the inside, the sharp stop at the free throw line pulled out his hand.

"Huh!"

The shot that was almost open was a solid hit.

The goal also helped the Pelicans regain the gap to double digits.

There was a stirring at the scene.

Robertson was taken by Tang Tian in one step!

Robertson has improved a lot defensively this season, averaging 1.9 steals per game in four games, and has also performed well on his own against opposing stars, and is the kind of player who has the opportunity to compete for the best defensive player.

But this step was too easy.

Actually, Robertson didn't expect it at all.

His defensive improvement this season is not just reflected in his physical reflexes, he has learned to anticipate opponents' offensive options through his opponent's forward movements, and even through the movement of his opponent's shoulders.

But just now he was completely deceived.

He shook his head, although Tang Tian's strength was very strong, he couldn't be so easily beaten.

It must be that he wasn't focused enough.

N'Golo Kante's offense under the basket was caught in the hands of Don and he made a mistake when he distributed the ball to a player and passed it out of bounds.

Tang Tian's defensive performance in the third quarter caused a lot of impact on the hearts of the opposing players.

This is a very detailed thing, but it is enough to influence judgment and choice.

Dinwiddie held the ball and advanced to the front court and then gave the ball to Tang Tian.

The Thunder are not yet packed, and Donovan has a lot of trust in Robertson.

Tang Tian once again posed as a triple threat.

Roberson stood back, but straightened his hands to defend against Tang Tian's shot.

After Tang Tian saw it, he made a move to collect the ball and shoot.

This time, Robertson saw the right way to pounce.

But in the next second, Tang Tian suddenly lowered his body and dribbled and directly attacked Robertson's lower three lanes.

Robertson couldn't stop it, and was once again passed by Tang Tian.

Tang Tian passed Robertson and burst into the inside, squeezed sideways past Kanter, who saved early, and scored with one hand.

The scene was in an uproar.

Once by accident, twice there was a problem, Robertson's defense will definitely not suddenly go offline, is Tang Tian's one-on-one ability, suddenly skyrocketed?

The fans didn't understand it, but Durant, who was sitting on the Thunder bench, understood.

Tang Tian's three threats were significantly strengthened.

If it were him, he wouldn't have been able to do it to this extent.

This is also the impact of confusion, the defender can't defend against it, but Tang Tian can switch the offensive mode according to the defender's actions.

And unlike Anthony, Anthony is seventy or eighty percent likely to be pulled out after the three threats.

But Tang Tian's first step was fast enough, and he had more options than Anthony.

Because of the lethal enough shooting and breakthrough, this connection skill came up, and Tang Tian's one-on-one ability became a little explosive.

N'Golo Kante scored a goal on the inside, but Tang Tian scored another layup past Robertson.

It's still a 13-point difference.

Until this time, Donovan could only admit the fact that Roberson was air in front of Tang Tian one-on-one.

Kante missed the shot in the bag and Biyombo picked up the rebound.

Tang Tian went to the front court to hold the ball again, and the Thunder team began to pack again.

Tang Tian glanced at Bo Yang in the vacant position, and pulled the ball up with his right hand.

Vitesse shrank back when he saw this, and Robertson moved to the right.

But in the next second, Tang Tian's hand pulling the ball dribbled back and directly broke through on the left side.

This time, Robertson and Vitesse were both deceived!

Tang Tian broke through the defense and broke into the inside line before the bag was formed.

N'Golo Kante swooped out.

Tang Tian saw it and got close to Kanter, and a through ball was given to Biyombo under the basket.

Biyombo was completely unguarded, jumping up with both hands and scoring a strong dunk.

The difference is 15 points!

Donovan reached out and called a timeout.

Tang Tian had an unstoppable feeling in this paragraph.

During the timeout, Durant offered to play early, and Donovan agreed.

Tang Tian's main offense in this section, he will definitely not defend Durant, and Durant can at least stabilize the score.

Sure enough, Donovan's prediction was correct.

After Durant got the ball in the frontcourt, it was Ariza who had just been replaced on the court to defend him.

Durant hit Ariza with his back and rolled over on a jumper.

"Bang dang!"

However, he missed his first shot after coming on the court.

The Pelicans counterattacked, and Dinwiddie scored a layup after receiving a pass from Tang Tian.

The difference has reopened to 17 points!

Durant turned back and continued to play Ariza, but the breakaway throw still didn't go in, but the referee gave the superstar whistle and he got two free throws.

There was a boo, and Durant's first free throw smashed out of the frame.

From this, it can be seen that he is not in a good state after returning.

And that's a natural thing.

He was completely touched by Tang Tianfang in the third quarter, even if he was a superstar, it was impossible to sit on the court for a few minutes and get his feel back.

Even if Ariza's defender was replaced, he would need time to find his touch.

Dinwiddie went to the front court and continued to give the ball to Tang Tian, Tang Tian once again deceived Robertson to break inside, and Durant helped defend it.

Tang Tian turned his head and deceived Durant's layup.

Durant reacted a little slowly, and reached out to pull Tang Tian without pulling Tang Tian.

Tang Tian sent the ball to the basket and caused his handle to be fouled.

It's a 2+1 ball!

It's clear that the Thunder are running out of time right now.

Tang Tian steadily hit the penalty in the sound of interference.

With about eight minutes left in the game, the Pelicans had stretched the deficit to 20 points.

This 2+1 basically completely wiped out the confidence of the Thunder team to fight back.

Durant then found his touch and faced Ariza with consecutive shots, showing his good form this season and helping the Thunder close the score.

But it's clearly too late.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Thunder 103-91 on the road, ending their opponent's four-game winning streak and extending their winning streak to six.

Westbrook, on the Thunder's side, was sluggish, finishing with just 12 points and 11 assists on 5-of-17 shooting.

Durant scored a team-high 33 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists on 12-of-30 shooting, scoring a lot, but this shooting rate is really quite Kobe Bryant's temperament.

On the Pelicans' side, Davis had 18 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, Jokic contributed 16 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists for a quasi-triple-double, and Holiday also scored 15 points and 5 assists.

Tang Tian scored a game-high 37 points, 6 rebounds, 10 assists, 3 steals and 1 block on 15-of-25 shooting.

Among them, he scored 16 points in the fourth quarter alone, directly helping the Pelicans kill the game.
