Chapter 294 Sky-soaring

The game had been going on for more than half a quarter, and the score was 13 to 8, with the Grizzlies leading by 5 points.

The pace of the game was really slow, full of physical confrontation, and both sides had shooting percentages below 40%.

This was a true scoring drought of a game.

But at this time, the Grizzlies made a substitution, with Prince replacing Allen on the court.

Allen's defensive ability was still super S-class, but his physical fitness was clearly not comparable to what it was two years ago.

The Pelicans also replaced Morrow with Gordon.

With Allen off the court, Courtney Lee became the one guarding Tang Tian.

Lee was a Finals member, having reached the Finals with the Magic, and was also a very good defensive player.

But that was it, just good; there was a big gap compared to Allen.

Randolph's strong attack under the basket drew a foul on Davis.

The Pelicans' interior was really struggling against the Black and White Twin Stars.

Randolph made both free throws, and the Grizzlies led 15 to 8 by 7 points.

In such a slow-paced game, this was already a big lead.

The Pelicans attacked to the frontcourt, and Tang Tian backed down against Lee to ask for the ball.

After getting the ball, he didn't force it, but instead called for Davis's pick-and-roll.

Lee didn't successfully get around the pick-and-roll, and Tang Tian took a step and shot directly.

Randolph had a long wingspan, but he was heavy, and Tang Tian's pull-up speed was fast, so he didn't have time to pounce out.

"Swish!"

The basketball went into the net cleanly.

Tang Tian's scoring continued again!

10 to 15, the Pelicans were closely biting the score.

Whistles sounded from the sidelines.

Although Tang Tian's shooting percentage wasn't very high after the start, his several goals were very crucial.

The Grizzlies continued to play inside, the Pelicans shrunk their defense, and the ball was given to Conley on the outside.

Holiday retreated and used his excellent wingspan to successfully interfere with Conley's shot.

"Bang!"

Conley's three-pointer missed, and Davis grabbed another defensive rebound.

Although he didn't have an advantage in terms of physical confrontation, his long arms allowed him to grab a lot of rebounds in this kind of brick-laying war.

When they got to the frontcourt, Tang Tian dribbled the ball outside the three-point line and directly called for Davis to pick-and-roll.

With one pick and one split, Tang Tian already got a mismatch opportunity.

Lee's ability to get around the pick-and-roll was really different from Allen's.

And after getting around, he chose to double-team Tang Tian.

After Tang Tian turned his head, he bounced the ball to Davis.

After Davis got the ball, he took three big steps, went inside, and made a tough shot, the ball banking in and drawing a foul on Gasol, who came to help defend!

During the time when he was leading the team single-handedly, his individual ability had obviously improved!

"Swish!"

Davis's free throws were very stable, with a nearly 80% hit rate that was among the best for big men.

After his extra free throw, the Pelicans had a 5-0 run, cutting the point difference to only 2 points!

Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger rubbed his forehead on the sidelines.

Davis scored this goal, but the fundamental problem was still with Lee.

You couldn't tell when Allen was on the court, but after he came off, Lee's comparison showed how good his defense really was.

Gasol showed off his polar bear back-up at the free-throw line, turning around and hooking the ball in.

17 to 13, the Grizzlies continued to maintain the lead.

Tang Tian held the ball outside the three-point line, and Davis came up for the pick-and-roll again.

Tang Tian took a step, and Davis split open and quickly went down.

At this time, Lee's defense was obviously hesitant, not knowing whether to pounce on Tang Tian or switch to Davis.

Randolph reacted quickly and chose to retreat to defend Davis directly.

Tang Tian had an opportunity at this time, and he shot a three-pointer from the outside.

It was too late for Lee to pounce again.

His signature scissor legs, a beautiful posture.

After the ball was released, it passed Lee's belated hand.

"Swish!"

A clean shot!

The meaning of the pull-up jumper was that it was accurate and handsome!

This three-pointer ignited the emotions of the fans on the sidelines.

Still trailing by 1 point?

That wasn't a problem at all!

Lee's three-point opportunity at the corner missed, and Tang Tian grabbed the long rebound.

The Pelicans attacked to the frontcourt, Tang Tian didn't ask for the ball this time, but ran an off-ball pick-and-roll with Davis.

This sudden change caught them a little off guard, and Tang Tian suddenly ran towards the basket after Davis's pick-and-roll.

And when he ran, he pointed to the sky with his finger.

Holiday had just passed the ball to Davis at this time.

Seeing Tang Tian's gesture, Davis directly threw the ball into the air above the basket.

But he threw it a little too high.

But! Tang Tian took a step and leaped into the air!

At this time, he had already shaken off Randolph, who was trying to defend him, and no one was interfering with him at all.

The king of bounce, with an unopposed jumping attribute of 90, he flew as high as the basket.

And after catching the ball in the air, he was still rising.

He kept rising until he was half a head over the basket before pausing in the air.

Immediately after that was the descent after catching the ball with one hand.

"Bang!"

An explosive one-arm dunk!

The scene exploded instantly.

The fans all stood up from their seats abruptly, raised their hands, and had a "are you f***ing kidding me" expression on their faces!

Davis's slightly high pass created a superhuman alley-oop dunk!

"holyshit!"

The guest commentator who was still complaining about Tang Tian's Mamba style earlier was stunned for a while before blurting out a curse.

This dunk was really too inhumane.

Other people played cautiously when they came back from injuries, but Tang Tian was good, he even played alley-oop dunks after coming back from a shoulder injury!

Are you Westbrook? The more injured, the stronger!

The LED screen on the scene immediately replayed the dunk from just now, and the slow-motion shot came out, and there were constant exclamations from the scene.

The scene of being more than half a head over the basket was really shocking.

Many of them realized at this time that a pull-up jumper required extremely strong jumping and hang time.

Tang Tian didn't dunk much before, it seemed that it wasn't that he couldn't dunk, but that he just didn't go for it!

"I think the league can invite Tang to participate in the dunk contest."

This dunk also conquered the guest commentators on the sidelines, and they took the initiative to praise Tang Tian at this time.

This kind of dunk was not only visually explosive, but also helped the Pelicans successfully overtake the score.

The Pelicans' team momentum rose.

Davis blocked Gasol's shot for the first time, and the Pelicans launched a fast break.

During the fast break, Gordon's long pass was given to Tang Tian, Tang Tian accelerated to甩开 Conley, who was chasing him, and made an uncontested flying glide dunk one step inside the free-throw line.

"Bang!"

Another one-handed slam dunk.

"God, he has wings tonight!"

The guest commentator continued to praise him there.

The fans on the sidelines were really嗨 at this time.

Tang Tian really rarely showed off this kind of dunk before.

Was it because he was suffocating from the long break due to injury this time?!

Tang Tian let out a long breath after dunking.

This time, the fans guessed right.

He had been playing in the NCAA at the beginning of his three years since crossing over, and then entered the NBA. It was either a game or training.

He had completely adapted to this day-to-day life.

Suddenly not playing a formal game for more than a month really made people suffocate.

And after the All-Star vote results came out, he remembered that he had also planned to participate in the dunk contest today.

The official list of individual events hadn't come out yet, so he hurried to show off, maybe he could still make it!
