Kerr was very serious, but fortunately the Warriors were competitive enough, and successfully defended the Pelicans' key attack through excellent double-teaming and help defense.

The Warriors didn't have a timeout, and Green grabbed the defensive rebound and directly advanced it quickly to the half court.

They had to score quickly, and preferably a three-pointer.

Green passed the ball to Curry, who then passed it to Durant.

Although Durant had been stolen and blocked by Tang Tian in front of him, he still trusted Durant.

"Defeat him!"

Green pulled Davis to the far end at this time, but still didn't forget to shout at Durant.

After being stolen and blocked in succession, Durant's confidence built up before the game had collapsed again.

But hearing Green's shout, he immediately came back to his senses.

Tang Tian was his nightmare, and he had to overcome his nightmare!

He held his breath, and after a beautiful and continuous shake, he made a pull-up three-pointer with an emergency stop.

Tang Tian didn't jump.

This time it wasn't that he wanted to deliver another fatal blow, but that he was completely out of energy and couldn't keep up with Durant's rhythm.

Durant had an excellent opportunity, but he couldn't believe it at the moment he shot.

He had prepared himself to meet Tang Tian's defense, but Tang Tian didn't come!

Did he shake Tang Tian off? Did he finally shake Tang Tian off?

He was in a trance, unbelievable!

Shooting pays great attention to rhythm, and this trance made him lose it.

Moreover, his physical fitness was also a big problem at this time. You must know that he had been run out by Tang Tian before, and this shot was obviously short!

In the unbelievable eyes of the audience, Durant, who shook off Tang Tian, shot an… air ball.

An air ball!

Jokic grabbed the rebound, and the Warriors' offense failed again!

Kerr was stunned.

The Warriors teammates were also stunned.

Even Tang Tian was stunned.

What was Durant doing?

If this ball wasn't made, the Warriors' hope of winning was very slim.

And in the next round, Tang Tian didn't hold back, hitting a difficult turnaround fadeaway against the double-team and confrontation, directly killing the game.

Although Curry made a super long three-pointer at the last moment, the Warriors ran out of time.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Warriors 107-102 and won this Christmas battle.

Jokic had 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, Davis had 17 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, Holiday had 11 points and 3 assists, and Brogdon had 6 points and 1 assist.

Tang Tian scored a game-high 43 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

On the Warriors side, Curry had 27 points and 6 assists, Thompson had 14 points, and Green had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists.

Durant scored a team-high 33 points. He played an absolutely outstanding four quarters, but unfortunately he was 0-for-3 in overtime and didn't score a single point.

"This is a game without losers. The Pelicans and Warriors played the best game of this season, or in the last three years!"

"The whole game made my blood boil, and my eyes didn't leave the screen for a second! It's been a long, long time since I've had this feeling!"

"I really want them to play a series on the spot, that would definitely explode. This is the NBA I imagined!"

"Fuck Xiao Hua, I love Tatum to death now, he's simply Stern the Second!"

"This is really a subversive game, everything seems different!"

"Ahem, the only thing that hasn't changed is Durant? He was stolen once, blocked once, and threw an air ball in overtime against Tang Tian's defense... Why can't I help but cry?"

"I think he may have some psychological problems. He even shook off Tang Tian with that last three-pointer, but he went soft and threw an air ball!"

"Actually, this is understandable. Think about it, a person who you originally looked down on, gradually catches up with you, becomes evenly matched, and finally becomes the object you are chasing, and then becomes unreachable. It would be abnormal if he didn't have some psychological problems?"

"Sounds very reasonable, let's mourn for Durant!"

"Mourn for Little Shuai +1"

"Mourn for Durant the Second +2"

"Mourn for the traitor Durant +3"

……

The game was over, but the topic on social media reached a peak for the season.

The discussion about the game content far exceeded the scene of the Christmas battle between the two teams in the same period last season.

This scene is closely related to the change in the league's penalty scale!

If the previous games didn't show anything, then this focus battle was enough to illustrate the problem.

Just like the frequently appearing words on social media, the viewing and excitement of the game have begun to return!

Fans were discussing hotly on social media, and at the Pelicans' post-match press conference, there were groups of reporters present, and the scene was quite lively.

Winning against the four-star Warriors head-on and fairly, it's hard not to praise the Pelicans' performance tonight.

Tang Tian became the focus of the press conference.

Scoring 43 points in such an intense game, such a performance deserves the name of the league's number one player.

"Does the Warriors losing the game mean they can't win you without the help of the referees?"

A reporter from Fox asked. Although the Jenkins incident had once put them in the spotlight, their style of causing trouble hadn't changed at all.

"No, they are respectable opponents. We played to overtime, and we narrowly beat them."

Tang Tian replied calmly.

This was a game without external interference, and he didn't want any negative reports after the game.

On the contrary, if this game could be used as a typical example, it would play a very positive role in promoting the league after the major changes.

Just like the soaring topic on social media.

In his previous life, many people attributed the development of the NBA to Xiao Hua's credit, but in fact, it was more a product of information development.

Because according to big data, the league's ratings began to plummet from the 2017-2018 season.

Now that Xiao Hua has stepped down early, and Tatum has taken office, the NBA has returned to the basketball of the early century, and this result will definitely change accordingly.

And if this Christmas battle can be promoted, then the NBA will become more prosperous than in the early century with the development of information!

"Durant's last attack in overtime was an air ball, what happened at that time?"

The reporter then changed the subject and asked.

"I don't know."

Tang Tian shook his head, this time he really didn't know.

At that time, he was exhausted, and he didn't keep up with Durant's rhythm, so he didn't know what happened to Durant at that time.

But speaking of such an experience, he had it once.

That was two years ago, when he was matched up with Kobe. He didn't do very well on defense in that game, but Kobe was making all kinds of air balls. At that time, his feeling was the same as now.

So the problem was still with Kobe and Durant themselves.

He really didn't know.
