The Pelicans' next game is to play against the Knicks at home.

Anthony accidentally sprained his wrist during the game against the Grizzlies and is expected to miss about ten days.

The Knicks are working hard to make the playoffs, which is a bit like a miserable and rainy night.

Fortunately, rookie Tim Hardaway Jr. has performed well recently, which makes them still confident in entering the playoffs.

The day before the competition began, they arrived in New Orleans and conducted open training in the afternoon.

During the training break, Hardaway found head coach Mike Woodson.

"Coach, I can handle Don and let me play him in the game."

Hardaway's words surprised Woodson, you must know that he was having a headache about how to defend Tang Tian.

The last time I was in Madison Square Garden, Tang Tian made the Knicks suffer a lot.

He looked at the player that even Champet couldn't handle. Can Hardaway handle it?

"I know his weakness, I can handle him."

Seeing that Woodson did not respond, Hardaway repeated it again, and was full of confidence.

Woodson nodded.

JR Smith is in poor form this season and is more suitable for playing the sixth man. He is considering who starts the right start.

Hardaway volunteered to make the most of his thoughts. What young players want is this momentum, and the Knicks also need this fighting spirit based on defense.

After the training, reporters on the sidelines rushed forward, and their main questions were Woodson and JR Smith.

A reporter who was alone was waiting, and Hardaway took the initiative to walk towards him.

The reporter saw Hardaway, turned his gun around, and smiled and asked him for an interview.

Hardaway accepted it happily.

"Cameron won't play in this game, and the Knicks will need more people to come forward. Are you ready?"

"Of course, I know what I need to do, scoring is the most important part of it, and that's what I do best."

Hardaway's words reveal incredible confidence.

The reporter smiled and nodded. It is really rare for a rookie to have such ambition, and the upper limit will be higher than that of an average rookie.

"We know that Don has caused you a huge trouble in the last game, and he has been in good shape recently. What are you going to do with it?"

"He will no longer be bothering me, I will handle him."

This time Hardaway's answer shocked the reporter.

The answer to the previous question is that you are very enthusiastic, and this is... it's a bit ignorant!

Even Tony Allen, he wouldn't dare to say such absolute words when he faced Tang Tian, ​​right?

"You said you will deal with him? Is it?" The reporter confirmed again.

"I know his weakness, I will defend him, and I will get enough points in front of him to help the team win, which is literally."

Hardaway has fully implemented Durant's requirements, and the provocation coefficient of verbal battles has reached 100%.

When the reporter heard this, he widened his eyes. This guy was not arrogant, but his mind was not good!

Tang Tian is now the scoring champion. Is it really appropriate for you, a rookie, to say this?

"He has few offensive methods and is prone to being irritated. I know that, so this is not an exaggeration."

Seeing the reporter's reaction, Hardaway continued to speak and added.

The reporter tried hard to squeeze out a smile and nodded.

Hardaway's words were reported by the media that night and soon made the front page of the New Orleans media.

In a very ordinary regular season, there are not many attracting fans.

No matter what Hardaway said, it directly raised the highlights of the game from 1 to 100!

Although Tang Tian is also a newcomer, he is also the leader of the Pelicans and is likely to be the new scoring champion.

Hardaway is just a rookie, and he is just an ordinary rookie.

Fans on social media are also complaining wildly.

"Defend and get enough points, isn't this just a blow-up?"

"Although he has played well in recent games, he is afraid that he really lives in his dream when he beats the godfather!"

"It's good for young people to have dreams, but never dream in the daytime!"

"Maybe he has never played against Tang, and those who don't know are innocent?"

"Is this an opportunity to hype? Even if he really didn't play well in the end, the coach would think he was energetic? What if, I mean, a one in ten thousand probability, he really played well, wouldn't he become famous in one battle?"

"This is a shortcut to becoming famous by stepping on the high-popular godfather!"

"When Lin Crazy became really popular, didn't he just score 38 points on Kobe's head?"

"That's the case, but it depends on whether he has the ability."

"Is it because he's in the Knicks too?"

...

Fans were talking about it on social media. Ci Shiping couldn't help but complain to Tang Tian the next day for the Pelicans' training session.

"Is this little guy crazy?"

Tang Tian smiled.

Some people on social media can see clearly, and some people always want to take shortcuts.

This is also a difficult thing for NBA superstars to be. If you beat up some newcomers, that is what you should have done.

If you are accidentally beaten by a newcomer, you will lose all your face and become the other party's stepping stone.

This is also the reason why Kobe said in "The Spirit of Mamba" that he would do his best every night.

Because every night, there will be challenges of one kind or another.

"Boss, go and play, leave the rebound to me."

Evans came over and said at this time.

"Dang, I will play more pick-and-rolls for you. Don't worry, I will block people and will not give them a chance to double-team."

Davis also said.

"I will pass the ball to you as soon as possible."

Holiday continued to speak.

"I will completely guard him."

Aminu continued.

...

The Pelicans players spoke one after another.

It seems that Hardaway has inflicted the Pelicans' public anger.

This is also reasonable.

Tang Tian is now the leader of the Pelicans, and everyone else has received Ferrari he gave.

Are you provoking our boss so much? Isn’t this obviously looking for a beating?

Although NBA teams are only equivalent to one company, if you point directly at the boss of the company, others will definitely be unhappy.

Tang Tian nodded. It would be a good thing for his teammates to support him like this.

And this is also an opportunity. It is only this season that he is considered to make a name for himself. His status is not stable, and it is normal to suffer challenges.

Hardaway appeared at this time, and he was a little bit like being the first to be a leader. He just took this opportunity to kill the chicken and scare the monkey and consolidate his position.

The Pelicans and the Knicks are about to start, and the New Orleans Arena is full of attendance.

Hardaway's words really changed direction and stimulated the market here.

However, in addition to the fans, there is another person who is also paying attention to this game at all times.

Durant.
Chapter completed!
