Adelman rubbed his forehead and then waved for the Timberwolves players on the court to double-team.

Tang Tian, or Tang Tian's teammates.

Two cups of poison, and he chose the latter.

Tang Tian's condition tonight was just too good.

Love scored a goal in the frontcourt, and when they turned around, Tang Tian assisted Morrow's three-pointer, which also went in.

It seemed that Tang Tian's teammates were also in excellent condition tonight.

At the end of the first half, the Pelicans led the Timberwolves by as many as 18 points, 65 to 47.

Tang Tian seized the opportunity to score two more goals in the second half, scoring 30 points and 6 assists in the first half.

If he continued to play like this, either the game would be decided in three quarters, or Tang Tian would break his career-high score.

"Maintain your confidence, stick to the strategy. It's impossible for all of them to maintain that kind of state for the entire game. I've experienced many such games in my coaching career."

Although Adelman couldn't help but complain during the breaks between the first and second quarters, after that burst of anger passed, he was still encouraging the team in his own way.

He now had 987 wins, only 13 games away from the goal of 1,000 wins.

The Timberwolves weren't doing well, and his contract with the team expired this summer, so this might be his last chance.

So, he really needed every win.

On the other side, in the Pelicans' locker room, Williams finished the second-half deployment with a relaxed expression.

After he left the locker room, Tang Tian called Morrow to his side.

"You take the initiative to pick and roll for me in the second half."

Tang Tian instructed Morrow.

The Timberwolves would definitely double-team in the second half, and letting Morrow take the initiative to pick and roll was equivalent to actively choosing the double-team target.

Martin's defense was very average. If he came to double-team him, Morrow's three-pointer could come into play. If he didn't double-team, he could easily beat Martin.

Morrow nodded.

Ever since Tang Tian gave him the Ferrari, he basically had the final say in the locker room.

Back in the second half, the starting lineups of both sides were the same as in the first half.

Love scored a goal in the low post as soon as he came up.

Although the Timberwolves had been losing, Love's stats were never bad.

The Pelicans moved into position in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian asked for the ball outside the three-point line at a 45-degree angle on the right wing.

Morrow took the initiative to step up for a pick and roll.

This was a temporary change for the Pelicans. Martin hesitated for a moment and chose to double-team Tang Tian.

Adelman's tactic was to double-team, whoever was closer would double-team, to limit Tang Tian's individual offense.

Martin came to double-team, but Morrow had prepared in advance and ran to the outside of the arc early.

Tang Tian passed the ball through the gap.

Morrow caught the ball and shot an open three-pointer.

"Swish!"

The basketball went straight into the net.

Morrow's three-point shooting percentage was over 45% this season, the most accurate on the Pelicans. These open three-pointers were really too easy for him.

Adelman lowered his head a little dejectedly at this time.

God had really abandoned them tonight.

Love continued to score against Davis in the frontcourt. He was also in pretty good shape after returning in the second half.

Tang Tian played the same tactic in the frontcourt. This time, Brewer chose to go around Morrow's back to defend.

But this move was equivalent to giving Tang Tian room to shoot. Tang Tian pulled up and threw it directly.

Soul-stirring scissor legs.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian's pull-up three-pointer went in again!

His touch had been completely nurtured in the first half!

Moreover, his energy was full after the halftime break, and his shooting was very stable.

Love's shot in the frontcourt was defended by Davis.

Turning around, it was still Tang Tian, still Morrow's pick and roll.

Both sides were using the same routines to attack, just to see who would fail first.

The first double-team resulted in Morrow making a three-pointer, the second time Brewer went around the pick and roll and Tang Tian threw in a three-pointer. This third time they chose to switch defense.

Morrow took Brewer away, and Tang Tian's defender directly became Martin!

A cash machine!

Looking at Martin's thin body, Tang Tian felt like he was seeing a pile of colorful US dollars.

A step to accelerate the confrontation, directly inserted.

Martin's confrontation was like paper, and it broke open with a single bump.

Pekovic inside didn't dare to come out. Tang Tian pulled up to jump shot a step inside the free throw line.

Martin's speed was still fast, chasing up to disrupt Tang Tian's offense.

But the slap on the hand was like a breeze, painless, not itchy, and a little refreshing.

"Swish!"

The referee blew his whistle, and Tang Tian's pull-up shot went in steadily.

This was probably the easiest 2+1 of his game.

Adelman was left shaking his head in place.

What could he do?

Back in Sacramento and Houston, at least the strength of the players was enough, but now the Timberwolves' two core players were both defensive sieves.

This coach was really too hard to be!

The opening few rounds of the third quarter almost became the epitome of the entire third quarter.

Because Morrow always came up for pick and rolls in advance, Martin's double-teaming wasn't double-teaming, blocking wasn't blocking, and even switching wasn't switching.

Tang Tian scored another 10 points in this quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, his score had reached 40 points!

And the Pelicans had already led the Timberwolves by 25 points!

Clocking out after three quarters.

Tang Tian was experiencing the feeling of the Spurs back then with the Pelicans.

Really rare.

Davis went up to play for a while at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and was replaced after helping the team extend the point difference to 30 points.

When Davis came down, Tang Tian noticed that his hair had grown a lot, and reached out to touch his head.

Well, the feel was much better.

Davis didn't know why Tang Tian touched his head again, but turned to look at Tang Tian with a smile, not resisting at all.

After a while, Gordon pulled Davis aside and whispered, "Aren't you afraid he'll touch your head bald?"

"Touch it bald?"

Davis' eyes were full of doubt.

"Of course, Manu Ginobili, you must know him, right? He was touched by Duncan." Gordon continued.

"Okay, then I won't let him touch it next time." Davis nodded seriously.

Gordon was amused by Davis.

He suddenly felt that Tang Tian's appearance was really timely. Otherwise, with such a cute person as the boss, the Pelicans really didn't know when they would be able to make a name for themselves.

The final buzzer sounded, and the score on the court was finally fixed at 120 to 98.

The Pelicans ushered in a big victory before the All-Star Game.

Love snatched the title of leader of the empty-scoring group from Davis, scoring 32 points and 21 rebounds in vain.

And for the Pelicans, after ending the five-game losing streak, they happily welcomed a four-game winning streak. Davis had 20+10, Tang Tian had 40 points in three quarters, everything was perfect.

Moreover, what was even more gratifying than the victory was Tang Tian's ball-handling skills displayed in this game.

The Pelicans' coaching staff would be busy again during the upcoming All-Star weekend.

They had to think carefully about how to maximize Tang Tian's strength next.

After the game, Tang Tian, as the MVP of the game, accepted an interview with reporters on the sidelines.

"You showed good ball-handling skills in the game, and it was very distinctive, with a very low center of gravity."

The reporter naturally mentioned the issue of Tang Tian's ball-handling skills in the game.

"Yes, that's what I've been training on. In fact, Kemba Walker's dribbling skills are most like mine in the league."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Achoo!"

Walker was doing extra training in the training hall and suddenly sneezed violently.
