Both the fans and the players from both teams were tense at this moment.

With limited time remaining and Gregg Popovich coaching the Spurs, the choice for this play was uncertain.

Whether to make the free throw and focus on defending the Pelicans' last three-point attempt, or intentionally miss the free throw to run down more time.

These were two very different choices.

After the timeout, Gasol took his second free throw.

His release point was a bit high.

"Clang!"

Another free throw that hit the back of the rim.

But what was different from the previous shot was that this one was clearly missed on purpose.

Popovich was still experienced, knowing that the Pelicans' interior lineup wasn't strong at rebounding, and took a gamble.

But this time, Jokic held off Gasol, and Davis grabbed the defensive rebound and immediately called a timeout.

Even so, more than a second ticked off the clock, leaving only 2 seconds left.

With 2 seconds left, trailing by 1 point, the Pelicans, relying on Tang Tian's two three-pointers and the team's relentless defense, had managed to create an opportunity!

Although, the opportunity didn't seem very big.

The most nervous at this time were the longtime fans at the arena.

This scene was too familiar, Tracy McGrady's 35 seconds for 13 points, Tang Tian's four consecutive three-pointers in one minute to seal the game in last year's regular season.

It would have been fine if it were any other team, but the Spurs were facing such a situation again!

And this time the opponent was the Pelicans again, and Tang Tian again!

It was hard not to be nervous in this kind of situation!

Fortunately, the only thing they could comfort themselves with was that these things didn't happen more than twice, and the Spurs shouldn't be so unlucky.

Just then, the cameraman at the scene gave a shot of the Pelicans' bench.

It was Tang Tian who was arranging the tactics over there.

There was a stir in the arena.

Having been caught red-handed interfering with the management, and now directing the coach, regardless of the outcome of this game, Tang Tian's LeBron-esque behavior would definitely be criticized.

After the timeout, the Pelicans replaced Holiday with Morrow.

Jokic inbounded the ball from outside the three-point line in the frontcourt.

Every player, even those in the top 50 all-time, have things they are good at and things they are not.

Jokic's defense and rebounding are his weaknesses, but his strength is his passing.

A big man with excellent vision and passing ability.

There was no player more suitable for this out-of-bounds play.

The Pelicans had a series of screens on the court.

The Spurs' defense was completely mobilized, and the switches between defenders were obviously not very smooth.

Although the act of directing the coach had been confirmed, it had to be said that the arrangement of this tactic was really excellent.

Morrow circled out to the three-point line to receive the ball.

Jokic was ready to pass.

At the same time, Tang Tian used a screen to cut to the basket.

Popovich shouted from the sidelines, he had coached Tang Tian for two years, had drunk so much red wine with Tang Tian, and understood Tang Tian's tactical level very well.

This was a feint.

Because they were only down by 1 point, the Pelicans only needed to score a two-pointer.

With Tang Tian's jumping ability, he could definitely catch the pass under the basket and finish the shot.

And more importantly, the 5-second limit for inbounding the ball was almost up.

Jokic's pass had already been thrown, but it wasn't in Tang Tian's direction.

Or rather, not in the direction of Tang Tian under the basket, he passed it directly to the three-point line on the far side.

There, there was no one!

A turnover?

Just as the fans were about to cheer, Tang Tian in the basket used Davis' screen to sprint to the three-point line.

Man there, ball there!

This was a pass with anticipation!

Moreover, this was an almost perfect tactic!

Even Popovich was fooled!

Tang Tian caught the ball, turned around and shot.

The ball flew in the air in a spinning arc.

Everyone in the arena held their breath.

This ball would directly determine the Pelicans' fate!

The basketball began to fall, and many fans couldn't bear to watch after seeing the trajectory of the ball.

Popovich clenched his fist unconsciously.

"Swish!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the ball went through the net before the red light came on.

Tang Tian's three-pointer, in!

The fans at the scene were in an uproar, and the fans were all dumbfounded.

Tang Tian, ​​hit the final game-winning shot.

Just like he did time and time again with the Spurs!

There were still 0.3 seconds left in the game, and the Spurs had no timeouts left.

Gasol inbounded the ball from the backcourt, and Ginobili, who received the ball, was interfered with by Tang Tian and failed to shoot.

The final whistle sounded. After trailing by 7 points with 1 minute left, the Pelicans completed an incredible comeback, and finally defeated the Spurs, changing the series score to 3 to 3!

The Pelicans' players had already rushed onto the court, shouting and yelling around Tang Tian.

This game was won so magnificently and movingly.

And more importantly, Tang Tian played at a god-level performance!

The LED screen on the scene showed Tang Tian's data for this game.

21 of 35 shots, 8 of 11 three-pointers, 13 of 13 free throws, 63 points, 7 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Next to this data, there was also Jordan's previous playoff single-game scoring record, as well as Tang Tian's score in this quarter.

Jordan previously scored 63 points in a double-overtime loss to the Celtics.

Although Tang Tian only tied the score, he scored it in regulation time, and he also helped the Pelicans win!

The gold content of his data is even higher than Jordan's!

And more importantly, the Pelicans scored 32 points in the last quarter, and except for 5 points from Jokic, the remaining 27 points all came from Tang Tian!

And 27 points exceeded Iverson's previous playoff single-quarter score of 26 points!

Tang Tian, ​​officially became the first person in history in playoff single-quarter scoring!

And what's even more incredible is that he scored 24 points and 27 points in two games in the series against the Spurs!

This is definitely a basketball god-like performance!

As soon as the game ended, the fans on the hotline exploded.

"%*#@r$;￥……#￥#*……!"

"63 points in a single game, tied with Jordan! We really witnessed a miracle!"

"Tang Tian: Heard you want to see a miracle? Come on, I'll show it to you!"

"24 points in a single quarter is only second in history? Then I'll get 27 points in a single quarter! Feeling sorry for the Spurs..."

"The Spurs' title of the strongest background emperor in history can't escape this time, and this time it's Tang, a former Spurs player!"

"Feeling sorry for my old man Popovich, this feeling of being killed by his own disciple will really make people autistic."

"Damn it, where are the Holts, this mouthful of poisonous milk is really going to turn the Spurs over!"

"This is really a big loss of face, if you want to say those words, at least wait until the Spurs really eliminate the Pelicans before saying it!"

"Now that Game 7 is being played in New Orleans, the Spurs are in a disadvantageous situation in this game!"

"We are likely to witness the tenth team in history to reverse a 1-3 deficit, twice in one playoff season, how refreshing!"

"Speaking of which, the old man was deceived, Tang said after the game that the team could win, and he hoped that he would only score 21 points in each game..."

"Then he scored 63 points."

"Pfft! Gregg Popovich has been fooling others all his life, and this time he was fooled!"
