Winning Game 3 of the series is undoubtedly a huge boost for the Pelicans.

The players are also looking forward to returning to New Orleans with a 3-1 win and ending the series at home.

"You're going to treat Zach Randolph as a fart and just let him go."

Before the start of Game 4 of the series, Tang Tian said to Whiteside.

Randolph's words are trash, but they are not too dirty.

The kind of people who involve racial discrimination and greet their parents and daughters directly are the worst, and Tang Tian definitely supports Whiteside.

But the rest is actually a test of the player's ability to adjust mentally on the field.

In the NBA, or on the playoff stage, it's even inevitable.

So Tang Tian was still doing more of Whiteside's ideological work.

Whiteside listened, and in the fourth game of the series, he was not provoked by Randolph again.

The Pelicans' interior defense is also significantly better than the previous game.

But this time it was the Pelicans themselves who had a problem.

The basket at the League's Express Arena was like a lid tonight, and the Pelicans' shooters couldn't get the ball in.

That's what makes young teams that can shoot 60 percent from three-point range like they did in Game 1 or get lost en masse.

If the Pelicans' shooters can't shoot, the Grizzlies can frantically contain Tang Tian.

Tang Tian's scoring efficiency under the bag was not high, and in the fourth quarter, the Pelicans finally lost and were tied 2-2 by the Grizzlies.

And what's worse is that Tang Tian poked his finger when he was clamped.

It's not as serious as it was last year, but it will definitely affect his shooting touch in the next game.

With a score of 2 to 2, Tang Tian's finger was injured, and all this looked so similar to last year.

The Pelicans' promotion situation has become confusing again.

Sure enough, when you meet the Grizzlies in the playoffs, it's not a joke to not die and shed your skin.

The good news is that Game 5 of the series won't start until three days later, which will give the Pelicans time to adjust.

At this time, the first round series was also played for most of the time.

In the other group matchups, the Hawks were also forced into a 2-2 situation by the Celtics, whose style of play was greatly limited in the playoffs, and Stevens' coaching on the opposite side was also impressive;

The Cavaliers swept the Bucks 4-0, and Brother Alphabet was hammered by James on the opposite side, and there were news reports that he practiced until the early hours of the morning after Game 4;

The Knicks and Wizards played 2-2, and Pierce showed his superstar demeanor and contributed two consecutive games to continue the life of the Wizards;

The Bulls lead the Raptors 3-1, and the Trash Brothers live up to their name in the playoffs;

On the Western side, the experience advantage that Lakers fans were looking forward to did not play a role, the Warriors swept the Lakers cleanly 4-0, the five-small style of play looked a little invincible, and the Splash Brothers' hand was also extremely unheavenly;

The Spurs also led the Trail Blazers 3-1, relying on Lillard's 40+ against the sky, Portland barely stole a victory, the difference in strength between the two sides is obvious, and the Spurs look very promising to complete the hegemony of 3 championships in 4 years;

The most unexpected thing is the matchup between the Rockets and the Clippers, Harden is a bit sleepwalking in the playoffs, they have fallen behind the Clippers 1-3, and they are only one game away from being eliminated at the earliest.

That's when the league announced the attribution of the awards for the two seasons.

In the Sixth Man of the Year poll, the Pelicans' Gordon ended up finishing fourth.

The award was won by the Raptors' Louis Williams, who won the award by a crushing margin with an exaggerated 60% of the vote.

And in the announcement of the best coach selection, the Pelicans missed out again.

Hawks head coach Budenholzer was named Head Coach of the Season over Steven Kerr and Williams.

The result caused a lot of controversy.

Aside from Williams' missed out on Best Coach for the second year in a row, it's puzzling that Kerr didn't make the selection.

You must know that Kerr led the Warriors to a team-best record of 67 wins as soon as he debuted.

After Tang Tian saw the news, he immediately sent congratulations to his former coach.

This result is a bit surprising, but it makes sense to think about it.

Whether it's Kerr or Williams, there is a disadvantage, that is, whether it is the Warriors or the Pelicans, they were playoff teams last season.

What the two of them did was take the team's record to the next level.

Although both teams have set new team records in the regular season, both have performed well, and even have a high probability of winning awards in the average season.

But Budenholzer has been more eye-catching, taking a team that won 38 last season to 60 wins, a 22-game increase second only to last year's Pelicans.

And the Eagles' core lineup is basically the same as last season.

So it's not that Kerr and Williams aren't good enough, it's that Budenholzer's performance is really a bit buggy.

The Pelicans missed out on awards one after another, which was another morale blow to them.

It was at this time that an ESPN reporter asked about something in a recent interview.

In the middle of the season, Xiao Hua accepted Tang Tian's suggestion that he would try out the team's challenge to the referee in the league.

Now this trial has finally come to fruition.

'We've seen the results, it's made the game longer and less fluid, and we haven't seen anything feasible at the moment.'

This was Xiao Hua's final decision.

The fact that these two things came together also made some optimistic fans realize one thing.

Xiao Hua, or maybe the league really doesn't mean to support the Pelicans, their previous actions are really just not targeting the Pelicans anymore.

These news also became the material for the latest episode of TNT's program.

"They seem to have something going wrong, they're in trouble."

Buckley, after summarizing these things, made this judgment about the Pelicans' situation.

"No, put a hundred hearts, and they'll win the series."

Although many fans thought that O'Neal would change his attitude because of McGee's previous incident, it seems that he still supports Tang Tian and the Pelicans.

"Shaq, this time I really want to warn you that they are really not in a good situation."

Barkley also stuck to his point.

"Let's assume they're not affected by these off-the-field factors, don't you see one thing? The Pelicans are in the same situation as last year, they have been dragged by the Grizzlies to Game 5, and maybe there will be Game 6, Game 7 later.

That's what they're capable of, dragging you into the mud and then slowly losing the ability to struggle, and then killing you at the end, all of which the Pelicans experienced last season. ”

Buckley's analysis drew a nod of Smith's approval.

"Will history repeat itself? Yes. ”

Barkley finally summed himself up.
