“defense!defense!”

This three-pointer also boosted morale, and the home fans began to cheer for the home team.

Amid cheers, the Pelicans defended the Lakers' offense again, and Davis protected the defensive rebounds.

The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt and Tang Tian broke through with the ball.

The Lakers' defensive strategy is the same as before, and it expands more heavily.

Tang Tian also used the butterfly step to pass Middleton and pulled near the free throw line.

This round seems familiar, and the Pelicans played this way in the second half.

"Swish!"

But the difference is that Tang Tian’s move this time was not lost, and the basketball steadily entered the net.

Tang Tian scored 2 goals in a row, including the previous free throws, he scored 7 points in a row!

Vogel reached out and rubbed his face hard.

The Pelicans found their form from the outside, and Tang Tian regained his touch. The Lakers are in real trouble now.

This situation is the same as when we first met in the season. We must not be able to defend ourselves and can only rely on the team's offense.

But in the next round, the Lakers' offense still failed to score!

The Pelicans took off with the cheers of fans and played in a super-level defensive state.

And this time it was Gasol who took the rebound.

Gasol showed his hands and threw it forward in the backcourt.

Tang Tian received the ball and flew to the frontcourt, leaned against Simmons and flew into the air, smashing the ball heavily into the basket.

Simmons wanted to block, but failed, and the referee called a foul!

This is a fast attack 2+1!

68 to 70!

The difference is only 2 points left.

Before Tang Tian could make a free throw, Vogel reached out and called for a timeout.

The Pelicans have already taken shape in this period, and the key is that the Lakers are in a scoring drought, so he must make some adjustments.

After the timeout, the Lakers have a lineup adjustment, and Wade took the field to replace Simmons.

When the two teams met for the first time, Wade was absent due to injury, but he contributed 13 points in the second game to help the Lakers defeat the Pelicans in double overtime.

Although Wade is old, Vogel replaced him at a critical moment and obviously trusts him very much.

This trust is also rewarded.

After returning from the timeout, Tang Tianjia hit the penalty.

He scored 10 points in a row, narrowing the gap to 1 point.

However, in the next round, Wade received a pass from James from the outside and made a three-pointer.

Three-pointers have never been Wade's strength, and his three-point shooting percentage has been less than 30% in his career.

For a superstar, this is a negligible technology.

However, this season comes to the Lakers, and his shooting percentage reaches the highest 33% of his career, and he dares to shoot at critical moments and can still make a shot.

This ball is very important to the Lakers.

Although Tang Tian made a double-team in the next round and gave Davis a sudden split, the latter made a steadily shot from the free throw line from the middle distance.

But when Durant responded to Wade's pass, he immediately returned a three-pointer.

The Lakers have regained their form on the offensive end.

Tang Tian played again in the frontcourt, and the Lakers were interested in defending Gasol and resolutely double-teamed Tang Tian.

Vogel's adjustment is the best choice.

However, Gasol was very powerful and scored another big two points as a pass from Tang Tian.

The two teams were in a stalemate again.

This quarter lasted about 9 minutes, and the main players on both sides came off the court to rest one after another.

The fierce confrontation caused both sides to consume a lot of physical energy. Both sides expanded the rotation to 10 people, and both of them were one main force and four substitutes.

It was during this period of time that the stalemate was broken again.

Wade and Simmons broke through and scored consecutively, but Jeff Green failed to seize two consecutive outside opportunities on the Pelicans.

This is also the main reason why he can't compete with Kuzma.

He is more versatile than Kuzma and can do anything, but nothing is particularly good at doing it.

He can play well in a weak team or a team without a tactical system, but in a team like the Pelicans that compete for the championship and have a mature tactical system, his role is not as great as Kuzma.

The Lakers also took advantage of the situation to fight back.

They played a 7-0 offensive in the last two minutes.

89 to 78, the Lakers entered the last quarter with an 11-point lead.

“Merlo.”

The inter-chairs of the third and fourth quarters were paused, and Stevens turned around and called Anthony, who was at the end of the bench.

Jeff Green's performance in the previous period was not good. Stevens didn't want Danny Green to play early. He was going to let Anthony go up for two minutes.

Anthony didn't expect him to be on tonight, and the speed of peeling the training suit was like applause.

He hasn't played in the game in the past month, and he is already quite thirsty.

In the fourth quarter, there were major changes in the rotation of the Pelicans.

Alexander, Tang Tian, ​​Anthony, Siakam, Harrell.

Vogel noticed the Pelicans substitution and had already set the lineup, so he called Durant temporarily.

Wade, Pope, Stephenson, Durant, McGee.

This is a competitive edge on both sides.

The Pelicans attacked first, Tang Tian broke through with the ball, and hit a back shot from the double-team between Pope and Stephenson.

In the Lakers' offensive round, Durant broke through with the ball and was double-teamed, and the three-pointer he gave to Pope failed. Harrell protected the defensive rebound.

Looking back, Tang Tian was still the one who was in the double team and leaned back again! And this time he also created Stephenson's thug!

After the stability increased, he really used the two to double-team as empty space!

His extra penalty hit steadily, and his personal score reached 49 points.

The Pelicans also narrowed the gap to 6 points.

At the critical moment, Durant stood up.

He played without the ball on the run and received Wade's pass and hit the mid-range shot.

This ball is very important, and the Lakers' bench is in full swing.

Tang Tian broke through with the ball in the frontcourt, and the Lakers directly double-teamed the three-man.

Tang Tian felt a trace of defensive pressure. He did not have a strong attack. A iconic back pass directly gave Anthony to the open space.

Anthony took the ball and pulled out his hand.

A month later.

"Swish!"

Hit it directly!

Although he is no longer as brave as he used to be, he is still sure of such open shots!

Durant was defended by two players when he was running without the ball in the frontcourt.

Stevens' defense is very targeted.

Durant's last catch-up shot was disturbed by the defense.

The basketball smashed the frame and went out of bounds.

He turned around and wanted to ask the referee for a foul, but he didn't get it, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

When the Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, Tang Tian still encountered a double-team of three people, and he gave Anthony another.

Anthony is an opportunity to make three-pointers at an open space this time.

"Swish!"

He seized the opportunity again!

After playing again a month later, he scored 5 points after coming up!

The Pelicans' ability to turn decay into magic is so strong!

The live photographer was very naughty at this time and gave James a shot on the sidelines.

He bit his nails, his expression a little complicated.

Durant proved himself with practical actions. He was just fighting for MVP in the All-Star Game.

But Anthony used his five-pointer to show that he is now James' opponent!
Chapter completed!
