Leonard's free throw was steady, scoring 7 consecutive points at the start, helping the Spurs lead 7 to 6.

Green's catch-and-shoot three-pointer in the frontcourt missed, and George secured the defensive rebound.

After the Spurs advanced to the frontcourt, the ball was still given to Leonard.

Tonight, the Spurs, like the Pelicans, are not playing team basketball but individual offense.

The fans at the scene started to cheer for Leonard.

Leonard broke through Green again. His body could directly withstand James; he is really strong.

Davis helped defend, and Leonard passed the ball directly.

Bertans caught the ball and fired from the baseline.

"Swish!"

A three-pointer went in cleanly.

As a big guy, Bertans has a three-point shooting percentage of 42.9% this season, which is a terrifying statistic.

Or to put it more bluntly, Baynes can shoot three-pointers, but he can really spread the floor.

10 to 8!

The Pelicans have been perfect on offense at the start, but they are still behind the Spurs!

After being forced to the edge of the cliff, the Spurs are also in their best state!

Tang Tian directly launched a super long three-pointer in the frontcourt.

"Swish!"

Made it!

The two teams are playing an offensive battle!

Not only the fans at the scene, but also the fans in front of the TV are watching with great excitement, hardly daring to breathe.

This is not just a simple scoring battle. The defensive quality on both sides is very high. Being able to score really comes down to ability.

Moreover, in the next round, with the addition of "Elementary School Student's Carnival," the Pelicans' defensive intensity is even higher, with airtight help defense and rotation.

Leonard didn't succeed in breaking through twice.

In the end, he passed the ball to George, who faked a drive inside, but Green stole the ball!

"Pa!"

However, before Green could pass the ball out, Leonard suddenly rushed out from the side and stole the ball back!

When possession changed, the Pelicans were already on a fast break. Leonard stole it back again, and the Pelicans couldn't form a defense in time.

Leonard dribbled past Green and slammed the ball into the basket with a one-handed dunk.

12 to 11!

The Spurs took the lead again.

The two sides are taking turns leading, and seizing every opportunity. This is definitely the most exciting game of this year's playoffs!

"The Spurs have shown their determination to win tonight. Kawhi is in very good form tonight."

Barkley exclaimed from the commentary booth, but he was a little panicked. Are their three giants going to jinx the Pelicans?

However, the facts proved that although they are all well-endowed, their jinxing ability is still a bit lacking.

The Spurs are in good form, but the Pelicans' offense is also undiminished. The two sides tied 35 after the first quarter.

The two teams combined for 70 points, and the offensive efficiency on both sides was very high.

It wasn't until the second half of the second quarter that the situation of the game changed.

After the two teams' starters rested for five or six minutes, their touch declined after returning to the court.

It was also during this period that Leonard performed miraculously again.

One-on-one turnaround fadeaway, fadeaway in a double-team, catch-and-shoot three-pointer from the outside, he played like Kobe tonight.

But the only difference between him and Kobe is that he is more accurate.

He scored 23 points alone in the first quarter, and another 13 points in this quarter. By the end of the first half, he had already scored as many as 36 points!

With his miraculous performance, the Spurs also broke the stalemate and ended the first half with a 65-54 lead.

Before this, Leonard's single-game playoff scoring record was 43 points, but he already had 36 points in the first half tonight, which is destined to be the night of his career.

During the halftime break, fans on the hotline were already discussing it endlessly.

"Leonard stood up in the game where the team needed him the most. 36 points in the first half. His performance in the first half even overshadowed Tang!"

"It turns out the Spurs also have nuclear weapons, but Popovich has never pressed the switch!"

"As a Spurs fan, I feel the pain. Before, as long as Leonard was heading for 30 points, he would be substituted."

"That's right. Although it's injury protection, you can't get the MVP without data!"

"The student surpasses the teacher! Leonard gave his big brother a good lesson tonight!"

"I think the Spurs have a good chance of winning the game tonight. Nothing is impossible with a 1-3 comeback!"

……

The crushing defeat in the previous game made Spurs fans extremely desperate, but after this first half, you can clearly feel that their confidence has returned.

Pelicans' locker room.

Stevens didn't say too many encouraging words. Although they were 11 points behind, the team's overall morale was still high.

They knew that the deficit in the first half was related to Leonard's miraculous performance.

Leonard is strong, but after all, he is not Tang Tian, and it is difficult to maintain that kind of performance for the whole game.

Stevens was more focused on making tactical arrangements.

Regardless of whether Leonard can maintain that state in the second half, the Pelicans will not use Green to defend him one-on-one in the second half.

After the halftime break, the game continued.

The Spurs attacked first, and Leonard held the ball and broke through in the frontcourt.

It was at this time that the Pelicans' defensive adjustment came.

Brogdon ignored White and directly double-teamed Leonard.

And Davis in the paint was also ready to help defend at any time.

Stevens is giving Leonard special attention.

Leonard reacted quickly and passed the ball to White as soon as possible.

However, his pass quality was average, and White had to bend over to get the ball. When he stood up again, Tang Tian had already helped defend.

The ball finally went to Aldridge, who turned around and jumped over Davis's defense but missed.

The Pelicans successfully defended this round.

Tang Tian received the ball to the half court. He used Davis' pick-and-roll to go to the right, and George and Aldridge double-teamed him.

And Bertans helped defend Davis. The Spurs' help defense and rotation were also excellent.

Tang Tian didn't choose to pass the ball. After dribbling to the right side of the free throw lane, he turned around and leaned back towards the baseline.

George jumped up to interfere.

"Swish!"

However, his interference didn't work, and Tang Tian still put the ball in!

The Pelicans took the initiative at the start of the second half!

Leonard continued to be double-teamed by Brogdon when he broke through with the ball in the frontcourt. This time, he passed the ball faster, and White, who caught the ball, had an opportunity.

"Clang!"

However, White failed to seize the opportunity, and the three-pointer hit the rim.

White's breakthrough is good, but his three-point shooting percentage this season is only 33%, which is similar to Baynes and not stable.

Davis grabbed the defensive rebound and gave it directly to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian accelerated and pushed forward, smashing the ball into the basket over White's defense, and also causing White's defensive foul.

2+1!

His free throw was also steady!

59 to 65!

Tang Tian scored 4 consecutive points in the second half. He only scored 25 points in the first half. When the team is behind, he obviously starts to exert his strength.

Leonard's shot under the double-team in the frontcourt missed.

One Green can't stop Leonard, but with the addition of Brogdon, Leonard's efficiency has obviously decreased.

Siakam rushed to grab the defensive rebound and turned to give it to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian suddenly stopped outside the three-point line during the fast break. George couldn't brake in time. When he stopped, Tang Tian had already taken a three-pointer.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Tang Tian's transition three-pointer went in!

He scored 8 consecutive points, and the point difference was narrowed to 3 points in an instant!

The scene was restless.

But this is not the end.

George's three-pointer from the outside missed, Tang Tian grabbed the defensive rebound himself, held the ball himself and advanced to the frontcourt, and then threw a super far shot directly one meter away from the three-point line!

He felt his touch was online and directly entered personal mode!

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, it was like a basin of cold water poured directly on the heads of the Spurs fans at the scene.

In just three minutes, Tang Tian had scored 11 consecutive points, directly tying the score!

Popovich was forced to call a timeout.

Fans on the hotline exploded again.

Before, they said that Leonard was a nuclear weapon, but now it seems that Tang Tian is the real nuclear weapon with explosive lethality!
