Chapter 1108 The Pelicans Are Going to Lose (4/4! Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
His previous playoff personal scoring record was 40 points last year. With three quarters still to play, he has already broken his personal single-game playoff scoring record!
If he continues at this pace, he has a good chance of scoring 50+ and breaking the Trail Blazers' playoff scoring record!
Led by him, the Trail Blazers continued to stalemate with the Pelicans in this quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, the score on the court was 92 to 90, with the Pelicans leading.
The Trail Blazers are really going to go head-to-head with the Pelicans tonight.
"Regardless of the outcome, Lillard and this Trail Blazers team are respectable."
During the break between the third and fourth quarters, O'Neal admitted he was wrong.
His words were also recognized by Barkley.
The Pelicans' defense is the strongest in the league, perhaps even unmatched.
The Trail Blazers scored 90 points in three quarters under this defensive intensity. In addition to luck, the players' enthusiasm and desperation cannot be ignored.
They played really respectably tonight.
In the opening stage of the fourth quarter, both teams continued to use their main players with substitutes.
Collins performed well as a surprise player in the second quarter, and Stevens made targeted defenses on this point.
Collins basically had no chance to shoot.
But no one expected that Anthony, who hadn't scored much before, would erupt during this period.
He first seized the opportunity on the outside and hit a three-pointer, then made an empty cut and hit a mid-range shot.
After a one-on-one layup failed, he used his big butt to make a put-back, and also caused Siakam's hand foul to make a 2+1.
His series of peak performances also ignited the Moda Center again.
They traded for Anthony to score!
When the extra penalty was made, he personally scored an 8-0 attack wave, helping the Trail Blazers to lead the Pelicans by 6 points!
Lillard, Collins, Anthony, the Trail Blazers lost the help of the referee, but under Lillard's leadership, they played a game with everyone contributing!
This may be the charm of Lillard!
Moreover, the Pelicans' feel also fluctuated, and the Trail Blazers continued to work hard.
About five minutes into this quarter, the score on the court became 104 to 94, with the Trail Blazers leading!
Stevens reached out and called a timeout.
If they continue at this pace, the Pelicans' first playoff loss may really occur in Portland.
When the Trail Blazers came off the court, the players received enthusiastic cheers from the scene.
The people on the court are their city heroes tonight!
New York headquarters.
Xiao Hua, out of consideration for personal safety, has not dared to go to the scene to watch the game.
Sitting in the office at this moment, watching the Trail Blazers lead the Pelicans by 10 points, his mood is extremely complicated.
He had previously angrily told Zoke that without the help of the referee, the Trail Blazers would have no chance of beating the Pelicans.
As a result, he miscalculated again.
Such a miscalculation made him very depressed, but it was also mixed with a trace of joy.
No matter what the process, it is a good thing as long as the Trail Blazers can win.
When the timeout returned, Stevens replaced all the main players.
"Defense! Defense!"
The fans at the scene were in high spirits, cheering for the home team.
"Swish!"
However, their cheers did not work, and Tang Tian continuously used butterfly steps to sway McCollum, directly hitting a three-pointer from the outside.
Tang Tian's key ball will never disappoint!
Moreover, returning to the defensive end, the Pelicans obviously strengthened their defensive intensity.
Lillard was locked down by Tang Tian, and Butler also restricted Anthony from having any chance to catch the ball.
Nurkic's turnaround layup was interfered by Davis' help defense.
The Trail Blazers' offense failed!
Turning around, it was still Tang Tian, who forcibly killed into the basket and turned around and hit in the double team.
Moreover, Butler successfully cut off Nurkic's pass in the next round, and defended another wave of the Trail Blazers' offense!
The Pelicans have entered their ultimate way of playing, Tang Tian attacks, and the other four defend!
This mode is unsolvable!
In just over three minutes, the Pelicans scored a 10-0 attack wave, directly erasing the point difference!
With 2 minutes left in the game, the two teams tied at 110!
At this time, not only the fans at the scene, but the hearts of all the fans jumped to their throats.
No one had expected such a situation before the game.
But such a situation makes people nervous and excited!
The Pelicans really might lose, and the Trail Blazers really have a chance to win!
These two minutes are of great significance!
"Come on! Trail Blazers!"
The cheers at the scene sounded again, with a trace of vibrato mixed in the voice, which was nervous and excited.
Lillard is trying to run and find a chance without the ball.
He scored 41 points in three quarters, but he hasn't scored at all in the fourth quarter so far.
It's not that his feel has dropped, but Tang Tian's defense has basically given him no chance to shoot.
Tang Tian's defense is really a bit crazy when he is serious now.
However, Aminu's pick-and-roll was in place this time, and he successfully blocked a chance.
Nurkic's pass came, he flew up for a layup, avoided Davis' block in the air, and shot the ball in with a low hand when he landed!
112 to 110!
He scored his 43rd point in the game! It also helped the Trail Blazers get a key 2-point lead!
The cheers at the scene have exploded.
Although this is just Lillard's first goal in this quarter, and it is just a 2-pointer, it is the key!
Key ball, worth a lot!
The Pelicans' offense, the ball is still in Tang Tian's hands.
His large-scale shaking directly caused McCollum to fall to the ground without being able to hold himself.
A sudden stop and pull-up three-pointer.
"Swish!"
A crisp sound.
When the ball went in, the fans at the scene felt a pressure in their chests.
Just when they were paying attention to whether Lillard could score 50 points, Tang Tian's goal had already raised his personal score to 50 points!
Although it is still some distance away from his 66 points in a single playoff game, he broke the single-game scoring record this season again!
The more inspiring the game, the more Tang Tian's scoring ability is highlighted!
113 to 112.
With more than a minute left in the game, the Pelicans surpassed the score!
Stotts didn't call a timeout, he gave the right to control the ball on the court to Lillard.
Lillard dribbled to the frontcourt and glanced at Tang Tian, and threw it directly two steps away from the three-point line.
Super far three points!
This choice was unexpected, but Tang Tian still gave an interference.
"Bang!"
The ball hit the front edge of the basket.
But luck stood on the side of the Trail Blazers, Lillard's super long three-pointer, crawled in!
115 to 113!
The Trail Blazers surpassed the score again!
Only the last 50 seconds are left!
The fans at the scene did not dare to breathe.
When they wanted to breathe, Tang Tian made a fake shot and made a real breakthrough. He broke through to the restricted area and passed the ball behind his back to Davis in the double team.
Davis hit the ball into the basket.
115 points!
With 35 seconds left in the game, the two teams tied again!
