Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 718 Could Get a Triple-Double, But There’s No Need (Third Update!)

Kerr saw Green hadn't gotten up yet and called a timeout for him.

It was then that Green, with the help of Barnes and Thompson, turned around.

There was blood on his hands and he looked to be in pain.

The team doctor rushed onto the court.

When Green was helped up and the camera zoomed in, everyone noticed that his nose was bleeding, and the bridge of his nose was bruised and a bit crooked.

"Shit!"

Breen couldn't help but grimace when he saw this.

Even though Tang Tian's move was unintentional, that elbow was hard!

Yeah, an iron elbow shows no mercy, very reminiscent of Metta Sandiford-Artest off the court.

Laughter erupted from the crowd.

Green's injury and good manners kept them from booing.

But this was poetic justice, a welcomed sight, they couldn't help but laugh!

When the timeout ended, Green's nose was still bleeding, and Iguodala temporarily replaced him.

The game continued, and Curry hit a crucial 3+1, narrowing the point difference to 10, giving the Warriors a lifeline.

But in return, Tang Tian used the three-threat stance and broke through Iguodala's defense for a strong 2+1.

After he made the free throw, he widened the point difference to 13 again.

It takes two gods to have a god fight.

With 3 minutes left in the game, Curry hit his 10th three-pointer of the night, helping the Warriors narrow the point difference to 9, keeping the game suspenseful.

Stevens called a timeout.

Green's nosebleed had been taken care of by now, and after Kerr finished laying out the strategy, he gathered the Warriors players together.

"Three three-pointers, plenty of time left, trust each other, we still have a chance, a great chance, we will definitely win this game! Come on!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and pounded his chest a few times, then signaled the players to clench their fists and bump them together.

"Warriors!"

"Let's go!"

Green and the Warriors players shouted in unison, cheering for the team in his own way.

When the timeout ended, Green replaced Bogut, and Kerr used a small lineup to play the last five minutes.

Back on the court, the Pelicans attacked first, Tang Tian took the ball to the frontcourt and signaled Jokic for a pick-and-roll, he was still looking to go at Green!

Green's nose was swollen, but he was tough and insisted on staying on the court.

But after taking that elbow from Tang Tian earlier, he obviously didn't dare to play any more tricks.

If he took another elbow, he'd probably have to fly to Korea.

Tang Tian still used the three-threat stance, and the Warriors immediately double-teamed him.

After seeing this, he used a head fake pass to trick Green, and then shot a three-pointer.

Green turned around and desperately lunged out.

"Swish!"

But it was useless, Tang Tian shot another three-pointer over his head!

This three-pointer helped the Pelicans widen the point difference back to 12 points!

During the timeout, Green encouraged his teammates in his own way, telling them there was still enough time and a chance.

But Tang Tian's three-pointer was telling them: no, you don't.

"Defense! Defense!"

This three-pointer caused the home crowd to erupt, and the fans stood up and cheered loudly for the Pelicans.

Curry passed the ball to Barnes during the double-team, but Barnes's three-point attempt was interfered with by Aminu's help defense.

"Clang!"

The three-pointer hit the rim, and Jokic protected the rebound.

Stevens' defensive arrangement at the crucial moment was very targeted, knowing that the Warriors were anxious to chase points, the defense focused on the Splash Brothers, preventing three-pointers.

The Pelicans launched a counterattack, Tang Tian squeezed past Curry in the fast break, and directly slammed the ball into the basket with one hand.

Two minutes left, 14 points.

Tang Tian scored 5 consecutive points, using practical actions to tell the Warriors: you really have no chance!

With one minute left in the game, Curry's 16th three-point attempt hit the rim, basically announcing the Warriors' loss.

Kerr called a timeout.

This was a sign of giving up.

The cheers from the crowd were unstoppable.

Although the game wasn't over yet, the Pelicans had won this game of the century!

"Jeff."

In the commentary box, Miller smiled and gave Van Gundy a thumbs up, as expected, former head coaches know the game better.

Breen also laughed and gave a thumbs up.

They didn't have as much of a "long-standing feud" as the TNT Big Three, and Van Gundy's judgment in this game was very accurate and worthy of their praise.

The fans at the scene were laughing, and the commentary box was also laughing, only the gamblers were crying, they were badly burned by the gambling companies this time.

The Warriors were even giving the Pelicans a 1.5 point spread, but now the score, a 14 point difference.

This script was completely different from what was planned!

"Tang, you're one assist away from a triple-double."

Williams said softly to Tang Tian at this time.

Tang Tian scored 20 points in the third quarter and another 15 points in the fourth quarter, adding in the 15 points in the first half, his score had reached 50 points.

50 points, plus 10 rebounds, 9 assists, and 2 steals.

If he gets one more assist, he will get his second 50+ triple-double of his career.

The last time he got this data was a year ago when he played against the Lakers.

Tang Tian shook his head.

Now that the victory has been decided, it's obvious that he's just padding his stats if he goes back up.

He has no interest in this, and he knows there will be many more opportunities like this in the future, so he's not very interested.

And if he doesn't get it, he'll probably be criticized to death by the fans after the game.

So, he doesn't need to do things that are both uninteresting and risky.

The game was still on timeout, and the three people in the commentary box seemed to have noticed Tang Tian's stats and were discussing the one assist.

At this time, a short whistle came from the sidelines, and both sides returned from the timeout and replaced all the starters with substitutes and bench players.

Tang Tian didn't play again, Breen and Miller both seemed a little regretful, while Van Gundy had a trace of admiration for Tang Tian.

Even for a superstar, it's not very common to be able to resist padding a 50+ triple-double.

Ian Clark hit 2 consecutive three-pointers in the last minute of garbage time, helping the Warriors narrow the point difference to 8 points, but that was irrelevant.

The Pelicans won against the Warriors at home with a score of 117 to 109, extending their winning streak to 20 games while ending the Warriors' 18-game winning streak!

In the end, the Pelicans won this game of the century, becoming the only undefeated team in the league!

"Congratulations."

"I'll win it back next time."

After the game, the two sides shook hands at the end, and Curry and Thompson both expressed their thoughts to Tang Tian.

In this game, Curry made 10 of 16 three-pointers, scoring 38 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and Thompson also made 6 of 12 three-pointers, scoring 20 points, 3 rebounds.

The two combined for 58 points, performing as strongly as they had all season, but the help provided by other players was limited.

"Cheer for this victory, you won't have that opportunity next time."

After Green shook hands with Tang Tian, he said with displeasure in his tone.

He didn't perform well in this game, only getting 7 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 turnovers.

But compared to the stats, Tang Tian not only trash-talked him in this game, but also gave him an elbow, this feud is now deeply entrenched.

"Your nose, is it okay?"

Tang Tian didn't trash-talk Green, but asked casually.
