Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 1082 Tang Tian vs. Zhan Du Ku
The fans couldn't imagine this score and scene even if they rack their brains.
This isn't a 50-50 game anymore; Tang Tian's team is suppressing James's team.
At the end of the first half, the score on the court was 73 to 58.
Although Curry and Harden regained some of their form in the second half, Tang Tian's team still maintained a 15-point lead into halftime.
If they continue to play at this pace, Tang Tian's team has a great chance of winning.
During the halftime break, Curry showed off a super long-range three-pointer to respond to Tang Tian's previous fundraising event.
He made 2 out of 5 super long-range shots and donated $200,000 for the treatment of children with leukemia.
This is a charity event, but you can feel that his condition has recovered slightly after halftime.
The two sides remained in a stalemate in the third quarter. Although Curry regained some feel and James continued to be efficient.
However, Tang Tian's team still maintained its lead by relying on the overall understanding.
Because of the gap in talent, it is a bit difficult for Tang Tian's starting lineup to widen the score, but maintaining the point difference is really suitable for them.
The two sides used normal rotations in this quarter, and Wade and Hayward, who had not played before, also got opportunities to play.
At the end of the third quarter, the score on the court became 113 to 95, and the difference between the two sides became 18 points.
In the calculation, Tang Tian's team won another 3 points in this quarter.
This is already half of the victory in the bag.
There is only the last quarter left in the game, and during the intermission, social media was already buzzing.
Not just excited about Tang Tian's team performance.
They are also discussing the ownership of this year's MVP.
Tang Tian's team is playing completely as a team in this game. Tang Tian now has the most points, but only 18 points and 7 assists.
The remaining Walker has 15 points, Davis 14 points, Lillard 12 points, and Thompson 11 points.
If Tang Tian's team turns the game into garbage time in the last quarter, then the suspense of the MVP is still very high.
The intermission time passed quickly.
The whistle sounded on the sidelines, and the players from both sides returned to the court.
It was also at this time that someone noticed the lineup on James's team.
Curry, George, Durant, James, Embiid.
Five starters, four are on the court!
Looking at Tang Tian's team, Lillard, DeRozan, Hayward, Aldridge, Drummond.
Still a regular rotation lineup.
Lu obviously means to chase points at the beginning!
This lineup is indeed strong in talent, and Durant came up and hit a three-pointer against Hayward.
After Lillard's response three-pointer missed, James assisted Curry with another three-pointer.
The Pelicans' frontcourt offensive tactics didn't work, and DeRozan's final one-on-one with the ball was defended by George.
Embiid grabbed the defensive rebound, and James's team directly launched a defensive counterattack.
James made a bulldozer layup in the fast break and caused Aldridge to commit a defensive foul.
This time he seized the opportunity and made both free throws.
James's team launched an 8-0 offensive in less than two minutes!
The 18-point difference is only 10 points in the blink of an eye!
This is the scoring explosiveness of a superstar finding his touch, terrifying.
18 points, if they keep playing like this, it's really not enough for them to chase!
Stevens reached out and called a timeout.
His substitutions in this period had some problems, but the problems were not that big.
Lillard and the others should get the opportunity to play as All-Stars, not to mention that they performed well in the previous substitute connection period.
It can only be said that the super giants on James's team broke out in a concentrated manner, giving him and Tang Tian's teammates on the court too little reaction time.
When the timeout came back, Stevens also replaced the main players.
Walker, Tang Tian, Thompson, Butler, Drummond.
This is the "Hard-Training Brothers" lineup, using a "one big, four small" lineup against another "one big, four small" lineup.
In the first offense after the timeout, Walker directly passed the ball to Tang Tian.
The four positions were pulled apart. Drummond and Walker didn't go over for the pick-and-roll. It was the iconic Pelicans' No. 1 one-on-one tactic again.
Tang Tian faced George, directly using the "Butterfly Steps", got close and broke through on the right.
George tried his best to keep up.
But Tang Tian pulled the ball back and chose an emergency stop jump shot.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, Tang Tian's first shot after coming up was steady.
He broke the scoring drought for Tang Tian's team and temporarily stabilized the situation on the court.
But in turn, James and Du played a cooperation, Durant received a pass from James and hit a mid-range shot in response.
The two sides started to trade blows.
Tang Tian dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and broke through again. This time he changed direction and went to the left, squeezed past George, and smashed the ball into the basket against the help defense of Durant, scoring a 2+1.
This dunk ignited the emotions of the fans at the scene again.
It must be said that since announcing that he would fight in the dunk contest again, Tang Tian's style of play has changed a lot.
From the previous elegant style, it has turned into an elegant and violent style.
It can be said that he and Wiggins have become two extremes.
Wiggins is a health-preserving style of play, and he will never dunk if he can layup.
Tang Tian is now the opposite, he will never layup if he can dunk.
Adjusting his breathing, the free throw was steadily made, and he helped Tang Tian's team to widen the point difference to 13 points again.
But immediately, Curry received a pass from James through continuous cross-running and hit a big three-pointer!
James's team narrowed the point difference to 10 points again!
James, Du, and Curry, all three are in good shape, and the offensive output is explosive!
If it weren't for Tang Tian's continuous scoring in this period, the point difference would be gone.
Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt again. This time, as soon as he broke through George, James and Durant both contracted.
This is to force Tang Tian to pass the ball and then trust his ability to return to defense.
Tang Tian was double-teamed by three top wings, and there was no room for a shot at all.
He didn't attack forcefully, and gave a signature back pass to Butler.
The ball was passed out, but his momentum did not decrease, and he broke through the double-team.
Also in the next second, Butler showed the understanding of the "Hard-Training Brothers", and gave a ground ball in advance.
Tang Tian caught the ball, pulled up from the ground, and slammed the ball into the basket with a tomahawk dunk while moving.
Staples Center is already boiling.
Tang Tian's continuous dunks are so cool!
Of course, what excites them more than the dunk itself is.
Even if James, Du, and Curry are in hot shape, he still stabilized the situation on the court with his strong personal strength!
This is not a one-on-five, or a one-on-eight, but it is more exciting than that, because he is fighting against three super giants!
"I think it's time for a team to recruit LeBron and Durant to a team. If they don't do that, no one can compete with Tang Tian and the Pelicans."
On the commentary table, O'Neal entered the Tang-praising mode in seconds.
But this time he is not overdoing it at all.
James's super five-star lineup has come and gone with the "Hard-Training Brothers" lineup.
If you want to defeat Tang Tian, you really need an absolute super-giant to team up.
Jeanie Buss was sitting not far from the commentary table.
When she heard Barkley say this, the corner of her mouth smiled slightly.
Don't say it, Barkley really understands her!
