Smith's breakthrough was stolen by Tang Tian, who then passed the ball back to Dinwiddie on the fast break.

Dinwiddie then passed it to Jokic, who had arrived late in the middle. The latter took the ball and fired directly from beyond the three-point line.

Jokic's trailing three-pointer was like a high-altitude artillery, the ball thrown was both high and heavy.

"Swish!"

Accompanied by a crisp sound of entering the net, the basketball fell heavily into the net bag.

This goal was quite powerful, helping the Pelicans expand the point difference to double digits, and his personal score also reached 11 points.

Smith's three-point shot over Tang Tian on the outside was still off, and Jokic got his 10th rebound of the game.

Tang Tian broke through the double team in the frontcourt and scored with a strong attack inside.

In the blink of an eye, the point difference between the two sides had reached as many as 14 points.

Woodson was forced to call a timeout.

The Knicks have had an excellent record this season, but J.R. Smith's state is average, and their reliance on the dual-core is far greater than that of the Pelicans.

During this period, Anthony and Howard were unable to play, and the Knicks were already showing signs of collapse.

When the timeout returned, Woodson replaced Anthony and Howard ahead of schedule.

They were forced to do so by the Pelicans.

When the timeout returned, Howard played Jokic under the basket, and Davis came to help defend.

Howard played happily with the Knicks and was willing to share the ball, passing it to Stoudemire at the free throw line in the double team.

Stoudemire took the ball and rushed in, wanting to force his way in.

But Davis stood tall inside, forcibly blocking Stoudemire's dunk.

Davis couldn't hold Howard too much, but it was more than enough to hold Stoudemire at the end of his career.

The blocked ball went to Aminu.

The ball went to Tang Tian.

The Pelicans had a clear lead, and he was not in a hurry to play fast, and began to slow down the pace.

Jokic organized at the top of the arc, and the Pelicans interspersed and ran back and forth.

Anthony had only rested for less than a minute off the court, and he had some physical problems at this time. Tang Tian used Aminu's pick-and-roll to cut into the basket and accelerate to get rid of him.

Jokic saw Tang Tian's cutting trajectory and threw the ball directly into the air above the basket.

He really dared to pass!

Tang Tian jumped up after seeing the pass.

The quality of the pass was just right, and Tang Tian took the ball and smashed it directly into the basket.

"Boom!"

The ball was slammed into the basket.

The cheers at the scene exploded.

Alley-oop passes are not uncommon in the Pelicans, but in the past, Tang Tian basically passed to the two big guys, but this time Tang Tian became the person to receive the alley-oop!

Jokic's hand skills are definitely gold-level.

A 16-point difference!

The Pelicans have already pocketed most of the victory.

Anthony hit a sudden stop jump shot over Aminu in the frontcourt, scoring his 36th point of the game and forcibly pulling the Knicks back from the cliff.

But in the next round, it was Jokic again, organizing at the top of the arc, a bounce pass to Aminu, who scored another two points with a layup.

It has to be said that Jokic's tactical significance to the Pelicans is truly unprecedented.

He is a center, but he can shoot three-pointers, he can pull the center out, making the opponent's inside empty, coupled with first-class passing, the opponent is difficult to defend against.

Tang Tian's previous dunk and Aminu's layup both benefited from this.

The current Jokic is still restricted by defense. Once his defense reaches the league's average level, then Tang Tian can really break through without any scruples.

Not to mention Davis waiting for an opportunity beside him.

The Pelicans really showed a very terrifying future tonight.

After Aminu's goal went in, a string of data was displayed on the Led screen at the scene.

It was Jokic's personal data for this game.

11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.

With about 6 minutes left in the game, Jokic had already achieved the first triple-double of his personal career!

In his first game as a starter!

This is definitely a historic moment.

The cheers of the fans at the scene could not be stopped.

Two years ago, they were completely blocked outside the playoffs, and the team only had an injured Gordon, an Anderson with terrible defense, and a No. 1 pick who was plagued by injuries and had a chance to flop.

But now, their lineup is excellent, and the future is even visibly stronger.

This scene really excited the home fans.

Anthony and Howard tried hard to help the team turn around, but the point difference they were behind was too big.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Knicks 116-108 at home, double-killing their opponents this season.

Anthony scored 44 points and 7 rebounds in vain, and Howard's 20 points and 12 rebounds were of no avail. The help given by the other Knicks players was too little.

Tang Tian got the Pelicans' highest 28 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, Davis got 17 points and 9 rebounds, and Jokic had a triple-double of 13 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.

After the game, the Led screen at the scene gave a close-up of Jokic's data.

And next to the close-up, there was also a note.

The youngest triple-double player in NBA history, 20 years and 2 days old.

The previous youngest triple-double record was held by James.

The latter, at the age of 20 years and 20 days, as a third-year student, scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in a game against the Trail Blazers.

Now this record has been broken by Jokic.

What's more, this is not only the youngest record, but also the fastest rookie to achieve this record.

Tang Tian realized this when he looked up and saw it.

He touched Jokic's head and then gestured to the fans at the scene, taking the lead in cheering for Jokic.

"Jokic! Jokic!"

Under Tang Tian's leadership, the fans at the scene shouted Jokic's name.

This is his career night.

Jokic's eyes were red, he turned his head and hugged Tang Tian, he really thanked Tang Tian, and he was really glad that he came to such a team.

At the post-match press conference, Tang Tian and Jokic attended together.

In addition to the usual praise, Tang Tian also gave Jokic a nickname.

He didn't do it for no reason, but really respected history.

"Joker, you can call him that in the future."

Tang Tian said with a smile, Jokic was stunned for a moment, and there was a burst of discussion in the audience.

But soon, most people reacted.

Joker, and Jokic are homophones, and it is easy to say.

Moreover, Joker is the nickname of the Joker in DC movies, and they are basically the same.

The Joker is the most impressive and popular villain in the movie, who enjoys playing with his opponents.

Jokic's passes in the game, and his emerging inside footwork, also have the feeling and potential of playing with opponents.

This nickname is really well-deserved.

Williams laughed when he heard it. Tang Tian gave Whiteside the nickname "White Side" before, and now he gave Jokic the "Joker".

Plus his own bunch of nicknames, he really is the king of nicknames!
