Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 1234 He's Bald, But He's Stronger!
On the Lakers' side, the players' faces showed ease and confidence.
On the Pelicans' side, their faces were full of worry and frustration.
Stevens' expression was also a little helpless.
If Davis hadn't been injured, he was confident that he could play seven games with the Lakers, but it didn't make sense to say anything now.
During the break, he tried to inspire the players' fighting spirit through speeches, but that attempt failed again.
The current situation can't be changed by saying a few words.
Everyone on the Pelicans team knew very well that losing this game by a large score meant 0-2. Without Davis, and still facing the Lakers, a comeback was almost impossible.
The game was about to begin. After arranging the tactics, he unconsciously looked at Tang Tian.
In adversity, if there was anyone who could stand up, that person could only be Tang Tian.
The Pelicans attacked first in the second half. Tang Tian broke through the double-team and sent a wonderful pass, and the ball was steadily sent to Siakam.
At this time, the nearest defender was two meters away from him, an absolute wide-open opportunity.
However, Siakam hesitated. He dribbled one step to the mid-range, and James' help defense had already come up.
"Clang!"
His shot bounced off the rim.
Obviously, after a sluggish first half, the Pelicans players not only suffered a blow to their touch, but also their confidence.
This kind of performance is not only reflected on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end.
Brogdon's help defense was not timely, giving Durant a chance to shoot a three-pointer.
"Swish!"
Durant's three-pointer was clean and crisp.
He continued his excellent state from the first half!
The Lakers widened the point difference to 18 points!
The game, heading towards a blowout in the third quarter!
The excitement on the faces of the Lakers fans at the scene could no longer be concealed.
In the first season of James and Durant joining forces, the Lakers won the championship. What they will get is not just one championship, but like the previous Pelicans, directly opening a dynasty!
And they also have Simmons, even if James gets old, they can still maintain absolute competitiveness!
In other words, the four consecutive championships that Tang Tian and the Pelicans failed to complete will be completed by them!
That girl glanced at me, and I was already thinking about where to buy a wedding house.
Now that girl took the initiative to add me on WeChat, I have already thought about the child's name!
The 2018-2019 NBA championship, now in the eyes of Lakers fans, is that girl!
"Be.LA! Be.LA!"
The fans at the scene cheered for the home team excitedly.
And they shouted differently than usual.
This sentence often appeared in the Kobe era, and the Chinese meaning is Lakers championship!
Their confidence at this moment is unprecedented!
Amid the fans' cheers, James rushed into the inside, withstood Gasol's defense and scored, and also caused Gasol's defensive foul!
The point difference has reached 20 points!
And James has a free throw!
The Staples Center was completely boiling, and a large number of fans stood up from their seats and raised their hands.
The two super teams, just like the previous game between the Pelicans and the Spurs, a 20-point difference is enough to determine the outcome, and this is still in the second half!
It is a foregone conclusion that the Lakers will win this game!
Stevens reached out and called a timeout, then rubbed his forehead vigorously.
The current situation is not just adversity, but desperation.
You must know that the second half has only started for less than two minutes, and the Pelicans have obviously had a collapse.
Moreover, the game is being played on the road, and their chances of reversing the game are slim.
After the timeout, he paused for several seconds, originally wanting to encourage his teammates with words, but finally gave up and picked up the tactical board to continue arranging tactics.
After the tactics were arranged, the timeout was over, and the players took the field one after another.
Tang Tian glanced at the scoreboard when he walked onto the court.
Looking at the dazzling score, he suddenly knew why the Spurs had that familiar saying.
In good times, look at Parker, in adversity, look at Duncan, in desperation, look at Ginobili.
Obviously Duncan's personal strength is the strongest, but now it seems that it refers not only to personal strength or scoring explosiveness, but also a kind of determination and belief.
Why are so many people on the Spurs bald, but only Ginobili is bald? Because he is ruthless enough.
Parker dodged Duncan's head touch, but he didn't dodge, because he knew that would make him play better!
He is bald, but he has also become stronger!
After Tang Tian lowered his head, he reached out and vigorously touched his head.
When Brogdon walked onto the court, he looked around. When he saw Tang Tian touching his head again, he couldn't help but shudder.
Only he knows what Tang Tian's self-touch means. Whether he has Eastern magic or not, it means that Tang Tian is going to get ruthless.
The Pelicans' current situation is like being shrouded in dense black clouds, pitch black, and no light can penetrate.
But Tang Tian's move made him see light piercing through the top of his head.
That is the feeling of bathing in hope!
Back from the timeout, James' free throw missed, and Gasol protected the defensive rebound.
After Brogdon dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he gave it to Tang Tian as soon as possible, and then signaled the others to spread out.
Without Tang Tian directing, he already knew what he was going to do.
Tang Tian's eyes were calm. He glanced at Middleton, who was defending him, and then accelerated his breakthrough inside.
James and Durant both quickly helped defend.
The Lakers' defensive strategy is the same as before, forcing Tang Tian to pass the ball.
Tang Tian did not choose to pass the ball in the three-man double-team as before, but instead turned his back to the baseline.
James' help defense position was very good in this ball, and he jumped up and gave enough interference.
He almost blocked Tang Tian.
However, Tang Tian's waist strength was really amazing. He managed to lie down at an angle of nearly thirty degrees to avoid James' block before completing the shot.
His offense is more decisive than at any moment before.
Moreover, after touching his head, the stability of his high-difficulty shots has also been improved.
The ball passed over James' fingertips, drawing a super high arc in the air.
It felt like dancing a waltz in the air.
"Swish!"
Then it fell steadily into the net.
There was a commotion at the scene.
The way this ball went in was simply beautiful!
Even as opponents, they couldn't help but want to cheer for Tang Tian.
The Pelicans' bench was already boiling. This goal was as beautiful as a painting, and it was a great boost to the team's morale!
The Lakers' offense advanced to the frontcourt, and at this moment, Tang Tian took the initiative to switch defenses with Green on the defensive end, and he switched from Middleton to Durant!
James still broke through to the basket with the ball. Perhaps inspired by Tang Tian's goal just now, Siakam defended it forcefully.
James wanted to force a layup with a euro-step, but his footwork was not clear, and he was directly called for traveling!
The momentum on the court that was completely leaning towards the Lakers began to change after Tang Tian's goal!
