Tang Tian charged forward with the ball like a wild horse freed from its reins.

Durant gritted his teeth behind Tang Tian, putting in the same effort as when he argued on Twitter, chasing after him.

The two were almost neck and neck.

Tang Tian saw Durant beside him and took off from the free throw line.

Only a dunk could prevent Durant from interfering with the score.

But Durant was really fired up tonight and in great form, taking off almost at the same time as Tang Tian, and his blocking point was perfectly judged.

If Tang Tian really went for a hard dunk, he really had a chance to block the shot!

It was just a moment on the court, but the excited expressions of the fans at the side couldn't be stopped.

This Durant was just too lovable!

As long as Tang Tian's fast break was defended, the Lakers would have a chance to go to overtime with the Pelicans!

But the next second, something unexpected happened.

Tang Tian changed his dunk into a layup in the air, relying on his defying hang time and waist strength to pull the ball to the side away from Durant, and then made a low-hand layup!

This shot was even more difficult than Jordan's dunk turned layup back then, and Tang Tian almost exhausted all his strength.

Durant didn't give up and continued to try to block, but his arms weren't long enough.

*Pa!*

His hand finally hit Tang Tian, and he used his waist to push Tang Tian out.

Tang Tian completed his shot before his body flew out.

*Beep!*

The referee blew his whistle, indicating Durant's defensive foul.

The ball left Tang Tian's hand and danced a waltz in the air.

Then, like a Smurf, it slid straight into the net.

2+1!

With only a little more than 1 second left in the game, Tang Tian completed a 2+1!

Tang Tian fell into a pile of camera reporters.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and adjusted well in the air, with a sinking motion when he landed.

The photographers rolled and flipped to avoid him, and Tang Tian landed steadily.

The move was incredibly cool.

There was an uproar at the scene, mixed with cheers.

After Tang Tian scored, his personal score reached 81 points, and he still had a chance for an additional free throw!

In other words, he had a chance to break Kobe's 81-point scoring record!

With a little more than 1 second left in the game!

Durant shook his head in frustration, his expression very dejected.

James came over and patted him on the shoulder, saying some words of comfort.

"You defended very well."

At that moment, Tang Tian, who was walking towards the free throw line, spoke to Durant.

Durant looked astonished, and James was also surprised.

Tang Tian and Durant were mortal enemies!

Unexpectedly, Tang Tian would take the initiative to praise Durant!

Tang Tian didn't care about their reactions, he was just telling the truth.

If he hadn't spent so much money, raising his waist strength and hang time, Durant might have blocked that shot.

So there was no doubt that it was a very successful and excellent defense.

Although he still managed to score.

Tang Tian had a chance for an additional free throw, and there was constant interference from the crowd.

But many fans didn't dare to breathe.

Including the fans in front of the TV, they also held their breath.

The hotline also quieted down.

With only a little more than 1 second left in the game, this free throw was Tang Tian's only chance to surpass Kobe's 81 points.

So at this time, the fans were probably even more nervous than Tang Tian himself.

Tang Tian shook his legs.

The hard landing just now was cool, but it was still quite a burden on his legs.

After adjusting, he aimed at the basket and then shot.

Everyone at the scene watched the ball fly out, drawing a parabola.

*Swish!*

Without much suspense, Tang Tian's additional free throw hit steadily.

He got his 82nd point of the game!

He broke Kobe's 81-point record!

The Lakers had no timeouts left, James passed the ball from the backcourt with 1 second left, and Durant's long shot from the backcourt didn't even touch the rim.

115 to 112, the Pelicans defeated the Lakers, winning this soul-stirring Christmas game!

James had a near triple-double of 33 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, and Durant had 38 points, the two combining for 71 points.

But on the Pelicans side, Tang Tian scored 82 points alone!

In the whole game, he made 31 of 45 shots, 14 of 15 free throws, and 6 of 10 three-pointers, including a logo three-pointer and two super long-range shots!

He surpassed Kobe and scored the second highest single-game score in NBA history!

The game was over, but the fans at the scene, even as opposing fans, reached out and applauded Tang Tian.

Although this time they were the backdrop for the 82 points, it was a privilege to witness the birth of history.

"Congratulations my brother, 82 points! You are the greatest player! @TangTian"

At the first moment after the game, Kobe, as the person whose record was broken, congratulated Tang Tian on Twitter.

Tang Tian single-handedly defeated James and Durant's Lakers in this game, and such a scoring performance really convinced him.

He only respected Jordan before, but now he respects Tang Tian as much as he respects Jordan.

Not only Kobe, but different people were congratulating Tang Tian in various ways.

Tatum: 82 points is the second highest score in NBA history, a legend is unfolding.

Popovich: My phone was bombarded by many people, they told me Tang broke the record, I thought it was 100 points, but after watching it, it was only 82 points.

Parker: I combined with Tang for 83 points.

Bojan: When is the Pelicans' next game, I can't wait to go to the game to watch it live.

Walker: My brother got 82 points! I want to open champagne to celebrate for him! Do you accept deliveries? @TangTian.

Fox Sports: Tang Tian is averaging 37.1 points per game this season, which is higher than Kobe's peak season, we are witnessing the greatest scoring performance in history!

NBA official website: 82 points have been broken, will 100 points be far away?

……

Fans were also constantly discussing on social media.

"The combined score of James and Durant is not as much as Tang's alone, Tang is really strong to the point of being abnormal now!"

"This 82 points really shocked me, with the current penalty scale, scoring is much more difficult than it was two years ago when there were touch fouls!"

"The key is the efficiency and the opponent, the Lakers are much stronger than the Raptors back then, I think the gold content of this 82 points is much higher than Kobe's 81 points."

"I think it's even more awesome than Chamberlain's 100 points, anyone can tell the intensity of this game!"

"The boss has congratulated him, let's not argue about it, Tang is awesome!"

"I feel sorry for the Emperor and Little Shuai, it's not that our army is not strong, it's just that the enemy has a Gundam!"

"Tang is now 720° without dead spots, the only thing that can defend him is his own feel!"

"No, there's also Mrs. Olsen!"

"Mrs. Olsen can't defend him either, she's already on her second child!"

"I really envy Mrs. Olsen, Tang Tian's lasting combat power and the waist strength of that last ball are simply invincible!"

"Your angle is really unique, but I like it!"

"The brothers who officially spoiled the breaking of 81 points before, are you here? Quickly share with us when Tang will get 100 points."

"Yes, yes, and who will be the champion this season!"
