James stopped talking at this time, and looked towards the court.

To be able to go 5 for 5 right from the start, Tang Tian's no warm-up needed performance was really a bit unbelievable.

Durant clenched his fist unconsciously. Tang Tian was a bit too fierce.

Parker was all smiles at this time. He suddenly felt that Tang Tian had been holding back his strength during the usual training sessions.

At the second spot, Tang Tian's performance was still incredibly accurate, making 4 of 5 shots again.

Although his luck with the final money ball was a bit off and it went wide, after two spots, his score had already reached 10 points!

This was a score Durant only had after three spots, was he really going to explode!

“Holy shit!”

Such a performance made Barkley on the commentary booth couldn't help but curse.

This was really not giving anyone else a way out!

"He will become a historic shooter."

Miller gave great affirmation and evaluation.

Kenny Smith also seemed a little surprised, it was obvious that Tang Tian's performance was better than he had imagined.

When filming "The Godfather" during the offseason, Tang Tian didn't have such a perverted three-point ability.

But his surprised reaction was completely normal.

Tang Tian's current strength was not just getting Novak's three-point skill, he adjusted his shooting speed through an offseason, and deepened his muscle memory with thousands of training sessions.

It's no exaggeration to say that his current three-point ability has been transformed into his own, an ability that surpasses Novak's three-point skill.

At the third spot, Tang Tian's feel seemed to drop a lot, making 2 of 5 balls, relying on making the money ball to raise the score to 13 points.

His performance in the next two spots was also relatively average, and the final score was fixed at 19 points, narrowly defeating Love to enter the final.

The fans at the scene also slowly calmed down from the initial excitement.

It turned out that Tang Tian had just over-performed in the first two spots.

"Was he jinxed by us?"

Barkley said speechlessly at this time.

"No, this is a normal performance, he is a rookie after all, and he is participating in such a game for the first time, it is normal to have ups and downs."

Breen had been commentating for the longest time and had seen the most, and gave a very reasonable analysis at this time.

"He reminds me of someone, do you know who?"

Barkley suddenly said at this time.

"Who?"

Miller turned his head in doubt, and Breen also turned his gaze.

"Steve Novak."

Barkley quickly gave the answer.

"Novak's open three-pointer is historic. He was infinitely optimistic before participating in the three-point contest, but in the end he only got 17 points and was eliminated in the first round. Tang is another Novak."

"Yes, I remember it. It's really a bit like that. Novak also made 8 of 10 balls in the first two spots, but he shot very average in the next few spots."

Breen also recalled it. Because of the large contrast before and after, he was deeply impressed.

Novak's three-pointer was accurate, but he had never participated in the three-point contest until he participated in the competition two years ago under the call of fans, but the result was elimination in the first round. The process was extremely similar to Tang Tian.

The commentary booth was relatively close to the player's waiting area, and the players could hear a general idea of the exchanges between several people.

Durant showed a contemptuous smile on his face when he heard what Barkley and the others said.

Tang Tian's fluctuations at several spots showed that his psychological quality was not good, and this would have a greater impact in the finals.

Winning a rookie was not something to be proud of, but who told Tang Tian to be so high-profile.

Doing a "Godfather" and snatching promotional resources with him at Nike, and now even signing a brand he doesn't want to annoy him, such a performance is completely deserved!

Kenny Smith didn't speak at this time, but he turned to look at Tang Tian, ​​and always felt that things were not quite the same as what Barkley and the others said.

After a short break, the final will begin soon.

James Jones, Durant and Tang Tian enter the final.

Different from the preliminaries, the order of appearance in the final is based on the direction of the results in the preliminaries.

That is to say, Tang Tian, ​​who scored the lowest in the preliminaries, will be the first to play, followed by Durant and Jones.

Durant was the first to play in the previous preliminaries, but he showed superstar ability and proved himself with a stable performance. Now it's Tang Tian's turn.

"This is the most difficult way to play. After Tang finishes his own shots, he still has to watch Durant and Jones' expressions."

Barkley said.

There was nothing wrong with what he said. In the final, it is definitely more beneficial to play later.

To put it to the extreme, if all the opponents perform abnormally, then they can lie down and win the championship.

On the contrary, if you are the first to play, even if you get a high score, you still have to watch the performance of your opponents.

"What if he gets a high score?"

Smith asked back.

Barkley was stunned for a moment. That's right. If Tang Tian scored a very high score, then Durant and Jones would be under even greater pressure.

But the question is, can Tang Tian do it?

Judging from the performance in the preliminaries, Tang Tian's performance fluctuated greatly, and this situation would only be more obvious in the finals.

Just as several commentators were talking eloquently, Tang Tian had already walked to the bottom corner, ready to start his game.

Barkley and the others stopped communicating, and everyone at the scene focused on Tang Tian.

The various grievances between Durant and Tang Tian, ​​the result will be revealed soon.

Whether the rookie will make a blockbuster, or the superstar will win with strength, will be in this round of the final.

“Beep!”

A short whistle sounded from the sidelines, and Tang Tian took the ball and shot.

His shooting rhythm was similar to that in the first round. After the ball was released, the trajectory was very straight, and the strength was just right.

“Swish!”

It was also a hollow net.

"A very good start."

Kenny Smith said.

"One more time."

Barkley did not forget to remind.

Tang Tian made four of the first five balls, including the final money ball, and got 5 points at the first spot.

At the second spot, he was still very stable and scored 4 of 5 again, scoring 5 more points.

Same as in the preliminaries, 10 points in two spots, a perfect performance.

But at this time, everyone's eyes were looking straighter.

Winslow held his breath at this time.

Will Tang Tian repeat the same mistakes?

Durant's expression looked relatively relaxed.

Although it was the same score, Tang Tian has made 8 balls so far, and his performance is not as good as the 9 balls in the preliminaries. Although it is the same score, you can feel that his performance is not as good as in the preliminaries.

Will Tang Tian repeat the same mistakes? In his opinion, the answer is yes.

He even turned to look at Jones, the role player who performed the most eye-catchingly in the preliminaries, was his biggest opponent.

Even because of James' relationship, he felt that winning Jones was more meaningful.

But it would be better to win both of them. Winning this championship would allow him to sweep away the haze of the "bath water" incident and welcome tomorrow's All-Star Game with a relaxed and happy mood.
