Coming back from half-time, there were starting changes on both sides.

Bojan had a mediocre night as Stevens put Ariza back into the starting lineup.

On the Mavericks' side, Carlisle also removed the targeted Nowitzki from the starting lineup and replaced him with the young but equally scorer Dwight Powell.

The coaches on both sides play chess against each other.

In this quarter, Tang Tian scored another 15 points in a single quarter, and his personal score has reached 35 points, which is higher than the average score per game in the season.

But at the end of the quarter, the Mavericks were still tied with the Pelicans 89-92.

Butler's fighting spirit, Harris's stability, Conley's playmaking, Embiid's rim protection and Nowitzki's offensive ability.

This five-star Maverick can have its current ranking, and it really depends entirely on hard power.

Although the stars are not dazzling, they will be one of the favorites to win the title in the new season.

The 3-point difference is still negligible, and the two teams are going to play the last minute.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the coaches on both sides continued to play, and the two sides were still two main players with three substitutes, but this time the lineup has changed.

Carlisle on the Mavericks' side let Butler, who played the full third quarter, go off the court and bring Harris and Nowitzki to lead the team, plus Seth Curry, Devin Harris and McGee.

The main team on the Pelicans' side has not changed, and it is still Holiday and Jokic who lead the team, but there are changes on the bench.

Except for Bojan, who did not start in the second half, and David West, who was rotated regularly, the rest is no longer Delong, but rookie Brogdon.

Deron has been average since joining the Pelicans.

Stevens has always respected him and wants to use his game experience to control the court.

But this time Delon played a few minutes without scoring and had two turnovers in the first half, so he finally chose to make a change.

Fortunately, he knew that DeLong was in average condition, so he put Brogdon on the activation list in advance.

In the fourth quarter, the Pelicans attacked first, and Davis beat Nowitzki under the basket and turned to the basket.

After all, McGee has played for the Pelicans for two years, and he understands Davis's technical characteristics, and he is very good at helping to defend this ball.

Davis wanted to pass to the basket, but Harris switched to the interior and stopped in front of West.

The Pelicans' play didn't play out, and Davis was forced to return the ball to Holiday to continue playing.

Holiday organized the offense again, beckoned West to block high, and passed the ball back to West after breaking through.

However, as soon as West received the ball, Devin Harris's help was in place.

Curry restricted Holiday from receiving the ball, and McGee and Harris also got stuck under the basket.

The Mavericks' defensive rotation at this stage is textbook.

Carlisle, like Stevens, spent a season training the Mavericks into an all-around offensive and defensive team.

With little time left to attack, West had no choice but to attack.

It was at this moment that he discovered that after a period of defensive rotation, Nowitzki's big defense and small defense Brogdon went.

This is the opportunity.

And although Brogdon didn't play much before, he performed well in the preseason, including the usual training matches on the bench.

West eventually opted to give the ball to Brogdon and then pull Devin Harris away himself.

Carlisle nodded in satisfaction from the sidelines.

Although it was a small opportunity in the end, the Mavericks finally forced the ball into the hands of a rookie, and there were only four or five seconds left to attack.

It was already a very successful defense.

Brogdon wasn't flustered, and he showed an unusually rookie maturity since he came on the court in the preseason.

This is also the characteristic he should have, you must know that as a rookie, he is actually the same age as Irving of the Cavaliers!

Irving, on the other hand, has been in the league for five years.

A feint to catch a shot, but it didn't fool the experienced Nowitzki.

He took a step forward, and Nowitzki stepped back.

But the next second, he took another step back and retreated to the three-point line.

Nowitzki judged, but slowly.

Brogdon seized the moment and threw his hand straight up.

The moment he made his move, the red light on the sidelines lit up.

It's a 24-second whistle ball.

Hard.

"Huh!"

However, the whistle on the sidelines did not fall, but the basketball went into the net!

The three points of the whistle are in!

Brogdon's big heart!

After the ball was scored, the scene was inexplicably quiet.

There was a burst of excited shouts from the Pelicans' bench.

This goal is super handsome, and it is against Nowitzki, a superstar!

Bojan on the court was high, ran to Brogdon and yelled, which felt better than shooting three points himself.

Brogdon himself seemed calm, but there was a hint of murder in his eyes.

Carlisle coughed, and the Mavericks bench shook their heads unconsciously.

This kind of ball is a great morale boost for the Pelicans, but it is a fatal blow to the Mavericks.

"This rookie is a bit of a Tang Tian."

On the commentary seat, Reggie Miller said very vividly.

His description is also very appropriate, you must know that Tang Tian had a super big heart in his rookie season with the Spurs.

The ball boosted the Pelicans' morale, and Davis defended Nowitzki's Golden Rooster Independence.

Looking back, Holiday commanded on the outside, and actually played a No. 2 position tactic!

The atmosphere of the Pelicans, whoever plays well will be given a chance.

Brogdon was heavily marked and didn't get a shot, but he managed to contain the defense, and Davis cut to the basket to receive a pass that caused McGee to hit the ball.

After hitting both free throws, the Pelicans went on a 5-0 run to widen the gap to eight points.

Carlisle turned and motioned for Embiid to come on and replace McGee.

Stevens, for his part, also quickly brought Jokic on the court to replace West.

Nowitzki's back-to-back pass in the frontcourt, Harris's cut layup, but Jokic blocked in front, and Davis jumped up in the back to cover him directly!

The Pelicans are going to get on the ground!

Carlisle stood vigilantly on the sidelines and looked up at the time.

Although the fourth quarter didn't start long, if the Pelicans continued to score, he had to call a timeout.

Fortunately, the Mavericks retreated very quickly and did not give the Pelicans a direct defensive counterattack.

The defense counterattacked and turned positions, and the Mavericks did a good job of defense.

Jokic's three-point line playmaking, and Holiday and Brogdon's three-point no-ball runs.

Holiday was on his heels, and Brogdon had a chance.

However, Brogdon made that shot in front, and the Mavericks also let it go easily, and Embiid switched defenses and saved thoroughly.

Brogdon suddenly made a fake shot and actually drilled past Embiid!

In front of him, he threw straight into the basket.

Nowitzki was a little late in the defense, and his block didn't arrive until Brogdon made a shot, and it hit him directly!

After the referee's whistle blew and Brogdon was fouled, he folded and adjusted his hand in the air and still completed the shot.

The ball barely landed on the basket, as if climbing over the wall, and barely climbed in!

2+1！

Beautiful 2+1!

The scene was agitated.

Brogdon didn't play in the first three quarters, but in the fourth quarter, he had already scored two goals this time, and one was harder than the other!

Cuban on the sidelines reached out and patted his forehead.

He couldn't help but think about Jokic's rookie season.

Now there's another Brogdon.

The rookie of the Pelicans, this is not new, just show it!
