He turned his head, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.

Although the past games had restored his courage against Tang Tian, for some reason, he felt instinctively weak inside.

Tang Tian came to the free throw side, now playing the small forward position.

He glanced at Durant and found that Durant wasn't looking at him at all.

"Clang!"

Durant took a little longer to adjust than usual, but his extra throw was a rare miss.

There was a scramble under the basket, and Diaw finally used his big butt to squeeze past Pachulia, securing the defensive rebound.

Williams dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and then passed it to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian came on the court to solve the scoring drought.

The Warriors reacted quickly on the court. Besides Thompson, who was defending him, Durant immediately went to help defend.

It was still the backup rotation period, and the Pelicans' other points weren't as stable as the starters, so double-teaming was the wisest choice.

The Warriors' choice was correct, and their reaction was quick.

But before Durant's double-team arrived, he felt a figure "whoosh" past him!

After receiving the ball, Tang Tian didn't dribble at all, didn't even fake, and directly bumped into Thompson with a step of acceleration, breaking through inside!

This choice was too sudden, and Durant and Thompson only had time to chase from behind.

Pachulia lunged out to help defend.

After seeing it, Tang Tian made a straight pass while moving, and the ball flew directly into Diaw's hands under the basket.

Diaw easily laid it in for a score.

A collaboration between two former Spurs teammates.

The point difference returned to 7 points again.

The crowd cheered, even though this two points wasn't scored by Tang Tian, it was just as refreshing!

In the Warriors' offense, Durant ran to the frontcourt and looked up to see that his defender had become Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was really… not polite at all.

Durant didn't ask for the ball. The Warriors launched an attack from the other side. Livingston posted up Williams in the low post, a signature turnaround fadeaway.

The technique was smooth, but it lacked a bit of luck. The ball hit the front of the rim and bounced out. David West grabbed the rebound.

Williams dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Tang Tian again.

This time, Tang Tian didn't break through directly, but passed the ball to Diaw to organize.

Diaw was holding the ball and directing from the free throw line.

The Pelicans' tactical change was a bit sudden. While they were sticking to man-to-man defense, Tang Tian started running off-ball.

Weaving back and forth, Tang Tian's off-ball movement wasn't any worse than Curry's.

Using David West's screen, Tang Tian cut to the basket and then made a reverse cut, running out for a three-point opportunity.

Diaw made a pass with anticipation.

Man and ball arrived at the same time.

An indescribable tacit understanding.

Tang Tian caught the ball and quickly shot.

"Swish!"

The ball drew a high arc in the air and went in clean!

Diaw returned the favor, also assisting Tang Tian in scoring!

This series of dazzling plays left the fans in a daze.

Tang Tian assisted Diaw, Diaw assisted Tang Tian, this was the Spurs!

But the crowd immediately erupted in cheers!

No matter what team you are, after Tang Tian came on the court, the Pelicans launched a 5-0 run, and the point difference returned to 10 points!

Durant didn't play much in the first three quarters, holding back his ultimate move, and Tang Tian didn't play much either!

You have your ultimate move, and I have mine too!

And it's even more exciting than yours!

"Defense! Defense!"

The fans' emotions were ignited, and the arena resounded with cheers.

The Warriors played a play on the weak side. Curry made a no-look bounce pass through the legs!

The ball couldn't have been passed any better, but Pachulia was a bit slow and was directly denied with a chase-down block by Tang Tian!

Diaw grabbed the rebound and threw a long pass from the backcourt. Fortunately, Durant's long arms disrupted the pass out of bounds, otherwise it would have been another fast break.

Seeing that the situation wasn't right, Kerr replaced Thompson with Curry.

In the Pelicans' frontcourt position, Diaw continued to hold the ball. This time the Warriors were prepared. Curry intercepted Diaw's pass to the outside.

Under the intensity of the Finals, after all, it wasn't the real Spurs. Without that system and tacit understanding, it was still very difficult to make smooth plays.

The Pelicans retreated quickly. The Warriors' fast break didn't work, and they transitioned to positional warfare.

The Warriors disrupted the Pelicans' play, and the Pelicans defended into the Warriors' tactic this round.

Curry was closely guarded by Brogdon on the outside, and Livingston finally passed the ball to Durant.

With the last 6 seconds, Durant glanced at Tang Tian, first cheered himself up, and then chose to shoot directly.

His release speed was fast enough, and Tang Tian couldn't steal the ball.

His long arms raised the ball over Tang Tian's fingertips and shot.

"Swish!"

The ball went in clean!

Durant made a shot under Tang Tian's defense!

The Warriors narrowed the point difference to 8 points again!

In the Pelicans' positional offense, Diaw's organization failed, and the ball was passed to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was double-teamed as soon as he received the ball. He turned around and leaned back, hitting the shot against the double-team.

A double-team was an open shot!

The point difference returned to 10 points again!

Back in the fourth quarter, the game unknowingly turned into a scoring battle between Tang Tian and Durant!

The Warriors' frontcourt offense also failed. Curry's three-pointer hit the rim and bounced out.

But Pachulia made a contribution this time, grabbing the offensive rebound over Diaw's head and throwing it to Durant.

Durant was in high spirits after scoring that goal. He caught the ball without dribbling and shot again against Tang Tian.

Tang Tian lunged out to interfere at the first moment.

The interference on this ball was enough. The ball hit the front of the rim, but it still rolled in!

Durant waved his arms excitedly after scoring the goal.

He had scored consecutive points against Tang Tian!

And more valuable than these 4 points was that he had found a way to deal with Tang Tian!

Tang Tian's wingspan wasn't as long as his. He didn't need to make so many moves to give Tang Tian a chance to steal the ball. He didn't even need to dribble, just shoot directly!

"That's it! Defeat him! That's it!"

Green jumped up from the bench and shouted at Durant, who was retreating on defense.

In the regular season, Durant had already overcome his nightmare and was no longer afraid of Tang Tian. Now it was time for him to do the same in the playoffs!

But before Green could finish speaking, Tang Tian made another fadeaway shot in the double-team.

This double-team was a real open shot…

At this time, both sides gradually made substitutions. With only 7 minutes left in the game, the starters of both teams had gradually returned to the court.

99 to 89, the Pelicans still had a 10-point lead.

Durant was a little excited. He asked Curry for the ball in the frontcourt. Curry gave him the ball. Durant caught the ball outside the three-point line and threw it directly without adjusting.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand and blocked Durant's entire line of sight.

"Swish!"

But Durant still threw the ball in!

The point difference was chased to 7 points again!

Durant pounded his chest and roared excitedly after scoring the goal, climaxing in place with a flushed face.

He had scored 7 consecutive points against Tang Tian!

He had crushed the mountain in his heart!

He had awakened!

He no longer had to be afraid of Tang Tian!
