Chapter 804: Touching Your Head for the Last Time (Fourth Update!) )

April 18, the final day of the NBA regular season.

The Pelicans-Spurs game kicks off in San Antonio.

Because it was rumored before the game that the cores of the two teams would not play, there were not many fans at the scene, probably only about sixty percent.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams made introductions, as previously rumored.

On the Spurs' side, GDP, Leonard, and Aldridge are all suspended, and only Green is in the starting lineup.

In addition to Green, the guards are Mills and Belinelli, and the interior is Dio and Baines.

This round of rest is thorough enough.

However, the Pelicans are similar, Tang Tian and Davis's two cores are resting, and Holiday and Ariza will not play.

The starting lineup, Dinwiddie and Brin Forbes on the outside, Bojan and Aminu on the front, Jokic at center.

It doesn't matter if the game is won or lost, but because the Pelicans have broken the record, outside fans are hoping that the Pelicans can add another game to the record.

But because it's the home of the Spurs, the Spurs fans in the ATT arena don't think so, and the games that can be won are definitely going to be won.

The game started quickly.

Biyombo gave the Pelicans a first-shot opportunity, Jokic was in the high post with the ball, and Forbes and Bojan were running three-pointers.

It doesn't matter if you win or lose, but the game is not a formality, and while the two cores are not playing, Stevens trains with the game.

Bojan was taken care of and didn't have a chance, but Forbes ran well and ran a chance.

Jokic's pass was quick.

Forbes was also very decisive after receiving the ball and shot directly without hesitation.

"Huh!"

A very important aspect of shooting is self-confidence, and Forbes, as the record holder for three-point shooting in a single game in the top 10 NCAA leagues, also has ability.

First start, first three-point shot.

Forbes has rarely played before, but today is a great start.

The Pelicans' bench was cheering.

Tang Tian and Davis both stood up and applauded the young man.

After Tang Tian sat back in his seat with a smile, he felt like a world away.

Four years ago, I was Forbes, and GDP was cheering for myself from the sidelines.

He turned his head to look at the GDP that was chatting very well, and was inexplicably a little sad.

Next season, you won't see that again.

"Don, do you think we're going to play the Spurs again?"

Davis turned his head to Tang Tian and asked.

Sitting in the VIP audience, the biggest feeling is that it hurts to be idle, and Davis has already begun to find topics to talk about.

Tang Tian glanced at Davis with a smile.

Davis has really changed a lot this year under Stevens, from silly to sullen to now Sunshine Boy.

"It's hard."

It's difficult, it's Tang Tian's answer, concise and clear.

The Spurs were able to get past the first round and face the Warriors in the second round.

Although the Warriors consumed a lot in the regular season, they still had a great advantage in playing the Spurs in the first round.

Speaking of which, this is one of the reasons why it is important for him to change his shirt in this game.

Because this is really likely to be the last time he will play Duncan in the Circle.

"But anything is possible."

Tang Tian then said.

Last summer, the Western Conference was in full swing, and the playoff matchups were all in chaos, and no one knew what was going to happen.

"I'd like to play them again, and I want to play against Thiem again, just like you did with Kobe."

Davis continued.

Tang Tian laughed out loud after hearing this, the implication of Davis's words was to regard Duncan as his role model and goal.

The game goes on.

With Bojan pinning down the Spurs' defense, Forbes had a lot of chances tonight, and he was hot in his hand.

In the first half alone, he made five three-pointers and scored a team-high 15 points, which was a very impressive performance.

There are not many fans on the hotline, but they are not surprised to watch the game, and they are so strong that they can play any bench.

At half-time, the two teams were tied at 45, and both sides went back to the locker room to rest.

However, Tang Tian did not leave, and he and Ginobili stayed to participate in the halftime event.

This is the stadium has greeted Tang Tian in advance, he and Ginobili are two points in the midfield, and the winner donates $50,000 to a local charity.

Tang Tian and Ginobili shook hands in the midfield and patted each other's buttocks, skillfully like old lovers.

Neither of them has a super long range, which is basically a matter of luck.

The two of them didn't score four balls in front of them, until the fifth ball, Tang Tian's ultra-long hollow net killed the game.

After throwing it into the super distance, Tang Tian shouted excitedly twice, and made a bad gesture at Ginobili with a smile, causing Ginobili to laugh.

Speaking of which, this is the first time he has made a super long three-pointer in front of so many people, and this feeling is super cool.

He understands Curry very well now, and he has also put the ultra-long three-point into his kryptonite plan.

The scene was also full of cheers.

Since the knot was untied, the attitude of the fans here towards Tang Tian has returned.

Duncan and Parker didn't go back to the locker room, and came up to congratulate Tang Tian after he entered.

Tang Tian and GDP hugged in turn, just as he did when he was still at the Spurs.

It's a pity that Popovich has already returned to the locker room, otherwise I don't know if this bad old man would have red eyes.

Coming back at halftime, the Spurs increased their defensive intensity against Forbes, and Forbes had fewer chances.

But Bojan's side opened fire again.

The Pelicans tonight is the poor man's version of the Splash Brothers.

The two teams played extremely anxiously on the field, and they did not decide the winner until the countdown stage.

Dior's consecutive turnaround hook shots under the basket completed the quasi-lore and ignited the atmosphere in the ATT arena.

But the next round, with a second to go before the end of the game, Forbes took a chance and hit his seventh three-pointer of the game on a pass from Jokic.

It is also the most critical three points.

This three-pointer kill helped the Pelicans beat the Spurs by one point and got their 74th win of the season.

When the final whistle blew, the entire Pelicans were celebrating around Forbes.

Today, the youngster scored a team-high 23 points with seven three-pointers and was the number one contributor to the team's victory.

Moreover, his quasi-shutout helped the Pelicans to 74 wins.

Stevens didn't want to break the record, but the Pelicans were stunned, and there were more than one more!

Small people, big energy, tonight's Forbes really looks like Tang Tian during the Spurs.

After celebrating Forbes, Tang Tian found Duncan on the bench.

The two men began a jersey swap on the Spurs' bench.

The scene was quickly captured by the photographer and projected onto the large LED screen on the scene.

This made the celebrations on the Pelicans' side stop, and the whole audience focused on Tang Tian and Duncan.

Tang Tian and Duncan completed the jersey exchange, and the two of them smiled and posed in front of the camera.

The scene burst into cheers.

It was only by Tang Tian's side that Duncan would smile so unreservedly.

After exchanging jerseys, Duncan reached out and touched Tang Tian's head.

"Now the future is yours."

Tang Tian didn't refuse, and let Duncan touch it with a smile.

Everything, as before.
