Brogdon's selection has caused a lot of controversy.

Those who support him feel that his stats on the Pelicans are more valuable, and his competitors are weak, so there is nothing wrong with this selection.

Against him is the fact that he has been talking about statistics, after all, there has never been a rookie in NBA history who averaged so little points per game.

The two sides insisted on their own words and quarreled.

Against this backdrop, the battle between the Pelicans and the Warriors for Kings Mountain is about to kick off at the New Orleans Arena.

Before the game, the Pelicans had a practice that was open to the public.

Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines after training.

In addition to some questions related to the game, the reporter also asked Brogdon, who has been the most discussed recently.

"What do you think of teammate Brogdon being selected as Rookie of the Year? Some say it's because of Tytum's relationship with you that the league chose Brogdon. ”

"Do I have such a big face? How I don't know. ”

After listening to the reporter's question, Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Brogdon wasn't the No. 1 offensive option off the bench, and I don't think anyone would have been able to do as well as any rookie on the bench, and you can see that he's starting in the Western Conference finals now, and he's the best rookie."

Tang Tian's next words showed his attitude, and he strongly supported Brogdon.

He originally suggested that Temples choose Brogdon because of the latter's immediate strength, and now Brogdon's performance has met his expectations.

That night, the Battle of Pelican's Tianwang Mountain officially kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.

There are many people inside and outside the stadium, and fans will naturally not miss such an important key battle.

In the locker room before the game, the Pelicans players are making final preparations in the locker room.

"Thank you, Don, for those words you said to me in front of reporters."

Brogdon thanked Tang Tian.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Tang Tian said very blandly.

Brogdon nodded, he could feel full trust from Tang Tian's words.

This is more important than anything else.

"Kevin, we need to let go of the previous unhappiness and we all have reasons not to lose this year."

In the Warriors' locker room, Green sat next to Durant and whispered.

The two have not spoken to each other since their last match.

Durant glanced at Green, was silent for a moment and nodded.

He did feel a little uncomfortable with Green, but what Green said was also important.

He left the Thunder to come to the Warriors as a traitor, and he had more reasons than anyone else on the Warriors team not to lose.

Seeing Durant's reaction, Green smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

The goal is the same, and the contradictions between the two people are temporarily calmed down.

The game is about to start, and the players on both sides are entering the stadium one after another to warm up.

During the warm-up, Tang Tian was given a shot at the scene, and Tang Tian was interacting with the people on the sidelines at this time.

It was clearly Olsen and his two sons.

This crucial battle, they are here again!

Seeing this scene, the scene burst into cheers.

They could clearly remember the effect of Tang Tian's son's presence on the scene, which would let them see a high-spirited Tang Tian.

After the warm-up, the award ceremony for the best rookie was held.

Brogdon received the Rookie of the Year trophy from Tytum, drawing cheers from the crowd.

The Warriors had a great season, and so did the Pelicans.

And it's quite rare for the defending champions to produce the best rookie.

Brogdon later gave his acceptance speech.

He thanked a lot of people, from his own parents to college coaches to Pelicans management and teammates.

"When I was drafted by the Pelicans, people around me said I was finished, I went to a championship team and spent the whole year on the bench, but the opposite is true, there is the best team culture, the best team leaders, the best players, the best fans, I love this team and I want to play here all the time."

At the end of the testimonial, Brogdon said something from the bottom of his heart, which also resonated with the fans at the scene, and the cheers lasted for a long time.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started one after another.

The two teams are still the same as the previous five-small starting lineup.

After the opening of the game, Tang Tian quickly entered the state, and the Pelicans also swept away the sluggish state of the previous three games, scoring consecutive points on the offensive end.

It seems that after Tang Tian led the team to reverse in the last game, Jordan's metaphysics has been broken.

However, the Warriors were also in great form tonight.

Green and Durant, who had contradictions in the last game, even played a wonderful combination, and Durant's empty cut Green's pass staged a one-handed tomahawk dunk.

High-intensity confrontation, wonderful cooperation, and difficult goals, the two teams showed their best state in the most critical battle of Tianwang Mountain.

The fans on the sidelines watched with a lot of excitement, and it was definitely the best game they watched in the playoffs this year.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 30, and the two sides were evenly matched.

Entering the second quarter of the substitution transition, both teams are one main force with four substitutes.

The Warriors have Green leading the team, plus Pachuria, Iguodala, McCaw and Livingston.

On the Pelicans' side, Brogdon leads the team, plus Louis Williams, Bojan, David West and Jokic.

The Warriors came up to attack first, Green organized at the top of the arc, and Livingston borrowed Pachulia to cover and cut the ball for layup.

It's the Warriors' signature infinite air cut, with Pachulia in place and Livingston cutting beautifully.

But just as Livingston made a move, Jokic flew to deliver a pegboard hat.

The cheers at the scene shook the sky.

Tang Tian was also stunned when he watched it from the bench.

Jokic has never been a top-tier defensive player, and blocks are his weakest point.

And this ball Livingston was very decisive from receiving the ball to making a layup.

Jokic was able to cover the ball, which shows that he was in pretty good shape tonight.

Jokic also took the defensive rebound after the block, and turned around and made a long throw that ran through the halfcourt.

Brogdon had already flown out, received the ball, and scored a layup on the front court.

In retrospect, McCaw's catch-and-shoot missed a three-pointer, and Jokic stuck Pachulia to close up the rebound.

However, this time the Warriors retreated in a timely manner and did not give the Pelicans a chance to play a fast break directly.

Positional battles for Brogdon's organization, his and David West's pick-and-roll.

Just as the Warriors turned their attention to their side, Brogdon suddenly made a through ball to the basket.

The ball was sudden, but it was safe to Jokic under the basket.

Brogdon is most impressive for his three-pointers, but his playmaking skills are actually quite impressive as well.

Jokic received the ball and turned to the free-throw line to shake Pachulia away, and scored on a light little hook shot.

After the goal, Jokic reached out to Brogdon, which was a good gesture for the latter's pass.

The cheers at the scene also broke out again.

Jokic assisted Brogdon, and Brogdon immediately returned the favor by Jokic.

It's a call between the two, this is a Buyo combination!
