Both teams rarely played overtime this season because they had Durant on one side and Tang Tian on the other, and both were very capable of making key shots.

But the fact that the two sides were now playing overtime also showed the two men's ability to make key shots.

Five minutes of overtime, especially in a high-profile game like the Christmas game, was a huge test for both sides, both physically and mentally.

"I'll guard Durant."

During the break, Tang Tian took the initiative to speak to Stevens.

Stevens glanced at Tang Tian. He knew that Tang Tian's physical strength was basically at its limit.

But he nodded when he saw Tang Tian's eyes.

He knew that Tang Tian was not a person who liked to make excuses, nor was his physical strength.

When the timeout returned, the Warriors maintained their starting lineup, but the Pelicans made a substitution, with Brogdon replacing Ariza.

In the final overtime, Stevens chose to add a stable outside three-point threat.

However, it was a little incomprehensible that he chose Brogdon instead of Bogdanovic.

Moreover, trusting a rookie at the last moment was not something that an ordinary coach could do.

The two sides jumped for the ball again in overtime, and Davis won against Pachulia once again, giving the Pelicans the first chance to attack.

Many of the fans at the scene could no longer sit still, and stood up one after another to watch the game.

Five minutes was neither long nor short, but the anxious game had made them forget the length of time.

Tang Tian was double-teamed as soon as he got the ball in the frontcourt. He passed the ball to Brogdon, who broke through and passed to Davis. Davis held the ball with one hand, wanting to dunk.

Pachulia blocked him again, and he dodged out of the way, but his shot still missed!

This kind of psychological problem could not be overcome in a short period of time.

However, Jokic followed up in time and directly put the ball into the basket!

He didn't score many points tonight, but this ball was very important!

Cheers rang out at the scene.

In the overtime stage, both sides had physical problems. At this time, it would be crucial for teammates to stand up and share the pressure for Tang Tian.

The Warriors' continuous cooperation in the frontcourt didn't create any opportunities. Curry wanted to repeat his old trick and draw a foul from Brogdon again.

Brogdon learned quickly. He didn't fall for the feint this time, and Curry didn't get the three-point foul. The basketball also hit the rim and bounced out.

Jokic grabbed the defensive rebound and the Pelicans launched a counterattack. Tang Tian received Jokic's long pass from the backcourt, and squeezed past Thompson with a change of pace to put the ball in!

100 to 96!

The Pelicans scored 4-0 against the Warriors at the start of overtime.

Overtime was only five minutes long, and 4 points was already a big lead.

Thompson ran off-ball in the frontcourt, and the Pelicans' defense didn't keep up, giving him a good shooting opportunity when he caught the ball.

"Clang!"

Unfortunately, his shot was short, and the ball hit the front of the rim and popped out. Davis grabbed the rebound!

After the decline in physical strength, the Splash Brothers had become a duo of bricklayers.

Fortunately, Thompson quickly retreated after missing the shot and defended Holiday's fast break layup, which was a good save.

With about three minutes left, the Warriors had to score as soon as possible.

Curry passed the ball to Durant at this time.

If the Splash Brothers didn't work, they could only try Durant.

It was at this time that the fans noticed that Tang Tian was guarding Durant.

The reason Stevens chose Brogdon instead of Bogdanovic was to swing Tang Tian to the three to guard Durant!

A familiar scene.

When the Pelicans played the Thunder, Tang Tian made Durant doubt his life.

But times were different, and the situation was definitely not the same as it was then.

The Warriors' outside containment was definitely stronger than the Thunder's, and...Durant's eyes were now full of fighting spirit.

Green's encouraging words before the game made him high-spirited, and he wanted to swallow Tang Tian alive at the start.

But because of the tactical arrangements of both sides, the two had not been matched up. Now they were finally matched up at the crucial moment!

To get rid of the nightmare that was Tang Tian, he had to face Tang Tian directly and then defeat Tang Tian!

Now that both sides were exhausted, offense was easier than defense.

Durant received the ball and faced Tang Tian head-on, with a large change of direction.

Tang Tian didn't move, and it seemed that his physical strength had a great impact on him.

Durant accelerated past Tang Tian and made an emergency stop.

"Pa!"

But just as he pulled the ball, something incredible happened again.

His ball...was stolen by Tang Tian again...

Tang Tian's physical strength was at its limit, but his willpower was still there. He didn't have much strength to completely seal Durant, so he held his breath and shot.

A critical hit!

After Tang Tian stole the ball, he passed it to Holiday, who seized the opportunity this time and broke through to the frontcourt to score.

102 to 96!

The point difference had reached 6 points!

There were less than two and a half minutes left!

There was not much time left for the Warriors!

Kerr shouted anxiously on the sidelines, his hands shaking uncontrollably. He really didn't want the Pelicans to become his nemesis.

Green showed his defensive skills, defending Tang Tian and Jokic's offense in a row, and grabbing the defensive rebound.

A little more than two minutes, 6 points, there was still a chance!

Curry ran an off-ball three-pointer and shot after shaking off Brogdon.

"Swish!"

This time, Curry was online, and the three-pointer went straight through the heart, bringing the point difference to 3 points!

The Warriors' bench erupted in excitement.

Although Curry's three-pointer came a little late, it was still in time!

But their excitement didn't last long, as Tang Tian sent out a pass in the double-team, and Brogdon made a three-pointer after receiving the ball!

Answer ball!

Stevens gave Brogdon trust, and Brogdon rewarded him with this three-pointer!

This rookie was really extraordinary!

More than forty seconds had passed, and the point difference was still 6 points. There was really not much time left for the Warriors!

Curry continued to run off-ball, and he shot again after receiving the ball.

Brogdon's learning ability was really good. He was fouled by Curry once, but he was able to dodge it the second time. He was shaken off by Curry once, but he didn't fall for it this time!

Curry had no chance to pass the ball to Durant.

Durant's confidence was frustrated by the steal, but he hadn't completely collapsed. He chose to post up.

With not much time left, he posted up twice and then made his signature turnaround jumper.

This time he dodged Tang Tian's steal, but just as he shot, he felt a dark cloud above his head.

Tang Tian held his breath and jumped up with all his might, and the tip of his arm was level with his shooting point!

He shot, and Tang Tian's fingertip brushed his basketball.

It was a block!

The blocked ball fell directly into Davis' hands.

The Warriors' offense failed again.

Kerr looked up at the clock at this time.

Exactly one minute left, a 6-point difference.

Now they could only defend the next wave first before talking about whether there was time!
