The passive skill of head-patting isn't just for teammates, it can be used on oneself!

He had previously overlooked this, after all, who would complain about having too much hair!

Brogdon's unintentional remark reminded him that he could pat his own head!

But after thinking about it, he didn't immediately do it.

This kind of self-patting is like tasting the forbidden fruit for the first time; once you get a taste of the sweetness, you can't stop.

Ginobili was the first to be patted bald by someone else, he didn't want to be the first to pat himself bald!

"Patting myself is impossible, I'll never do it in this lifetime."

He smiled sheepishly, left the still-dazed Brogdon, and turned to walk towards Gasol.

"Marc, don't move, there's a bug in your hair."

Tang Tian tiptoed and reached out to pat Gasol's head.

Gasol reacted and looked at Tang Tian in disbelief.

Catching bugs... is done by patting?

Returning from the halftime break, neither team adjusted their starting lineup.

Durant came up and hit a three-pointer right in front of Green's defense.

His condition wasn't interrupted by the halftime break, and his fighting spirit was even stronger after the first half.

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian dribbled to break through, and the Lakers continued to shrink their defense.

Tang Tian made a signature behind-the-back pass to Brogdon in the corner.

Brogdon caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

At the moment of the shot, he felt a stability he had never experienced in the first half.

After the shot, he had a feeling that this ball would go in.

"Swish!"

A crisp sound.

His three-pointer went in cleanly.

His reaction arc was much stronger than Kuzma's, and his first reaction after scoring was to turn his head to look at Tang Tian, ​​not forgetting to pat his own head.

What Tang Tian said was true?!

In the Lakers' offense, Durant broke through and was double-teamed, passing the ball to James, who cut in. James caught the ball and scored with a strong layup.

The crowd stirred.

When James and Durant play together, their cooperation is also quite unsolvable.

In the Pelicans' positional warfare, Tang Tian continued to drive and pass, and the Lakers continued to shrink their defense.

Brogdon's one three-pointer didn't prove much. They wouldn't give up their effective defensive strategy from the first half so easily.

Gasol was left open at the arc.

Tang Tian made a no-look pass, and the ball went straight to Gasol.

Gasol caught the ball and shot.

At the moment of shooting, he, like Brogdon, felt a sense of stability.

That feeling wasn't strong, but it did exist.

"Swish!"

His three-pointer also went in cleanly!

The cheers at the scene erupted.

One from Brogdon, one from Gasol, the Pelicans swept away their sluggish outside performance in the second quarter and regained their touch!

Brogdon was now certain that Tang Tian's head-patting had a miraculous effect.

He had personally seen Tang Tian pat himself and then go pat Gasol.

This might be the legendary Eastern magic!

Vogel stood up from the bench and walked to the sideline at this time.

The Lakers' frontcourt offense failed to score, and the Pelicans launched a fast break. Tang Tian was double-teamed during the fast break.

He noticed Green following on the right, and instead of forcing a shot, he made a beautiful behind-the-back pass.

Green caught the ball and shot a three-pointer in transition.

"Swish!"

The basketball went into the net cleanly again.

The Pelicans scored three three-pointers in a row as soon as they came back in the second half, directly raining three-pointers!

60 to 66!

This wave of three-pointers also helped them narrow the score difference to 6 points!

Vogel signaled the team to adjust their defense.

One from Brogdon, one from Gasol, one from Green.

Three three-pointers, from three different people, this wasn't a question of whose touch was good, but a collective recovery of the Pelicans' outside touch.

He had to change, even if he didn't want to.

Middleton received a pass from James in the frontcourt and made a long two-pointer.

Relying on the offensive threat of James and Durant, the Lakers' offensive firepower was really hard to contain.

In the Pelicans' frontcourt, Tang Tian attacked with the ball again, and the Lakers' defense changed.

Although it wasn't a 3-2 zone, the entire defensive formation was expanded outwards.

Tang Tian reacted immediately, using a butterfly-like step to get past Middleton, breaking through to the free-throw line and stopping for a jump shot.

The rhythm of this shot was very good.

"Clang!"

But the ball hit the rim and bounced out.

His touch tonight really wasn't that good.

Lopez secured the defensive rebound.

The Lakers launched a fast break, and James scored a layup after a one-man fast break to the frontcourt.

70 to 60!

The Lakers once again widened the score difference to double digits!

A wave of the Lakers' offense failed to score.

Turning around, Tang Tian's shot after a confrontation in the paint caused Lopez to commit a shooting foul, but the ball he shot went in and then bounced out.

Neither of his two shots after returning in the second half went in!

There was a burst of regret from the crowd.

Tang Tian couldn't help shaking his head.

It seemed that he, like Davis before, had his period tonight, and his touch was really off.

He had two free throw opportunities.

Adjusting his breathing.

First free throw.

"Clang!"

He actually had a rare missed free throw!

The crowd was agitated.

Tang Tian's touch was average in the first half, but it looked even worse in the second half!

Tang Tian himself was also stunned.

A fierce look flashed across his face, and then he reached out his hand.

His current tactical skills, defense was no longer the most important thing for him.

His main enemy was his touch.

But in such a crucial game against the Lakers today, this biggest enemy appeared.

Even the Stone Buddha (Duncan) couldn't stop it.

Damn touch! You forced me to do this!

Tang Tian reached out and slowly stroked back from his forehead, patting his own head...

Patting others can be casual, but patting yourself must have a sense of ritual.

This action stunned the baseline referee.

James and Durant on both sides were also stunned.

Tang Tian was... admiring himself?

Although you're very handsome, this is a game, you don't need to be so narcissistic!

Brogdon, who was on the outside, was also stunned when he saw it.

But his expression was different from James and Durant's. After he reacted, he couldn't help but laugh.

Tang Tian was really coming around! (真香, *zhen xiang*, a Chinese internet slang term meaning "face-slapping" or going back on one's word)

And he was also a ruthless person, so ruthless that he patted himself!

Tang Tian's second free throw.

He experienced the feeling that Brogdon and the others had when shooting, the feeling of the ball leaving his hand was very stable, very stable.

He already had a 40% bonus, and with another 10%, that stability was more than just a little bit.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian's second free throw went in steadily.

Durant dribbled past Green, but just as he reached the free throw line, Tang Tian suddenly came to help defend.

"Pa!"

And he snatched the ball from his hand.

Tang Tian launched a fast break after the steal, and the Lakers didn't have time to chase back.

James, who reacted first, was at least two meters away from him.

The fans were looking forward to Tang Tian doing a signature windmill dunk.

But when Tang Tian advanced to the frontcourt and saw the distance between James behind him and himself, he chose a step-back three-pointer at the three-point line!

This choice was too unexpected, and it looked a little stupid.

James also accelerated forward after seeing this.

If Tang Tian's choice didn't go in, it would be a long rebound in the backcourt, and he would have a chance to grab it.

"Swish!"

But before he rushed into the three-point line, there was a crisp sound from the scene.

Tang Tian's step-back three-pointer went in!

A burst of cheers erupted at the scene.

This kind of shot, if it doesn't go in, you're an idiot, if it goes in, you're awesome!

Tang Tian's expression after scoring was quite calm.

After self-patting, a 50% stability bonus, it was really stable!
