Chapter 535: Chink Can't Become a Superstar (Third Update!) )
Pelicans management immediately pressed the league, but did not receive a very clear response.
In the mouths of fans, the sixth game of the series between the Pelicans and Clippers kicked off at the New Orleans Arena.
With match point plus home-court advantage, this is the Pelicans' best chance to advance.
On the other hand, if they lose this home stadium, then the probability of qualifying in Los Angeles will become very slim.
It was also at this time that the league announced the results of the Sixth Man of the Season.
Jamal Crawford averaged 18.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game, receiving 57 first-place votes and a total of 421 points.
He was named Sixth Man of the Season ahead of the likes of Eric Gordon, Ty Gibson, Ginobili and Reggie Jackson.
He became the first player in NBA history to be voted Sixth Man of the Year on both teams.
And at the age of 34, he is also the oldest player to be voted the best sixth man.
Two days later, the sixth leg of the Pelicans-Clippers series kicked off in New Orleans.
New Orleans Arena was packed, and they were all looking forward to the Pelicans making the cut at home.
Fans are looking forward to it, and the Pelicans players are holding their breath.
The penalty in the last game made them unhappy, and all this unhappiness was vented into the game.
Five minutes into the first quarter, they led the Clippers by double digits, 14-4.
The fans cheered and they had a really good chance of winning tonight.
Rivers called a timeout.
"When are you waiting? Wake up, this is your last chance, win or go home and look around, are you willing to waste a season of hard work here? Are you willing to stop here? ”
Rivers took a sip of trans chicken soup.
The chicken soup looked like it was working well, and the Clippers had excited looks on their faces.
Rivers then replaced Redick with Crawford.
After the timeout, Crawford faced Moreau and scored a heads-up to help the Clippers close the gap.
And back on the offensive end, Davis ate an inexplicable offensive foul when he blocked the pick-and-roll.
The scene was booed.
It seems that the Pelicans' previous pressure has not had enough effect.
Back in the day, Crawford hit another three-pointer in the face of Moreau.
It's like a basketball experience game, where you get the best sixth man and give him a bonus to your stats.
But that's Crawford's style of play, and it's a superstar when it comes to the touch.
Tang Tian scored a goal for the Pelicans, and Crawford broke through and made a throw against the newly replaced Aminu.
The difference was narrowed to 5 points in an instant.
And at this moment, the referee stole the show again, and Davis was blown a moving screen when he was covering.
The scene booed non-stop.
At this time, Benson, who was in the VIP box, had a solemn face.
Putting pressure on Xiao Hua had no effect, he could only find Stern.
Crawford came back to make a layup and a breakaway that caused Holiday to hit again.
After hitting both free throws in a boo, he made a series of free throws in this section, and he has already cut 9 points in a row.
Moreau, Aminu, and Holiday couldn't stop him.
Williams had no choice but to use Tang Tian.
Tang Tian went to defense, and Crawford's offensive firepower was finally suppressed, but the firepower on the Pelicans' side began to be a little unsustainable.
And more crucially, the referee frequently sent away whistles in the game, and it was even more exaggerated than in the third game.
Crawford's play also boosted the overall state of the Clippers, and it didn't take long for Davis and Holiday to get fouls one after another.
The Pelicans are playing 8 at home 5!
Tang Tian stepped forward in a desperate situation, locked Crawford on the defensive end, and frequently hit the interior on the offensive end.
In the entire first half, he only rested for less than 2 minutes.
With his 18-point halftime play, the Pelicans barely tied the Clippers 40-50 at halftime.
In the second half, Davis got his third foul and went off the court early, Redick also found his touch at this time to hit consecutive three-pointers, and Crawford continued to be hot after coming up.
Tang Tian once again grasped the offense and defense with one hand, and barely helped the team enter the fourth quarter.
In the fourth quarter, he continued to play on the court without a minute, and his fitness began to have problems, and his hand began to decline rapidly.
Davis also got his fourth foul early and had to sit on the bench hot bench again.
The Clippers made a wave in the quarter, eventually winning 94-79 over the Pelicans.
When they were down 1-3, they won two games in a row to rewrite the score to 3-3.
Tang Tian scored 26 points, 6 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks, but to no avail.
Davis even enjoyed the treatment of Tang Tian's last game, and his playing time was blown to pieces, and in the end he only played 20 minutes and scored 9 points and 7 boards.
At the end of the game, the scene was not only full of boos, but 20,000 fans chanting "black whistle" in unison.
The fans at the scene were indignant, and the fans on the hotline were also crazy complaints.
"The referee is so frustrating, these are definitely the two most incredible games I've ever seen!"
"This is not a league I know, and in order to send the Los Angeles team to the second round, it has been mad and unabashed!"
"Next, please enjoy the Indian blockbuster, "King Xiao Hua: The Beginning"!"
"Hey, 5 to 8, even if you give you Jordan, you can't win!"
"No, bro, Jordan wouldn't choose to play in New Orleans!"
"It seems that Don's choice of New Orleans was really a mistake in the first place, and the road he has to take looks even more difficult than Jordan."
"But that's why I love my godfather, some people choose brother basketball, some people choose to turn enemies into friends, but godfather chooses one person and one city."
……
These complaints are not limited to fans, and during the Clippers' post-game press conference, a local reporter in New Orleans also mentioned the issue.
"Don was whistled for 5 fouls in the last game, and Davis committed 6 fouls in this game, but the Clippers had the most fouls in the two games with Barnes, what do you think about the scale of the referee's decision?"
'It's not something we can control, it's part of the game and if you say the other way around, we'll take it.'
Rivers replied with a smile, he was obviously cheaper and good-looking.
"Don's play was suppressed in both games, how did you do that?"
A FOX reporter asked another question.
"We forced him to put his energy into defending and Jamal and JJ were key tonight."
Rivers said with a smile.
"Jamal, what do you think of Don?"
The reporter then turned his gaze to Crawford.
"He's the perfect player, the best in the league in defense and offense, he's a superstar."
Crawford is more humble, and although he won, he still has a high opinion of Tang Tian.
The reporter then turned his attention to Redick, who also played well tonight, scoring 17 points.
"Jamal, Chink isn't as strong as you say, they can't be superstars."
Reddick didn't answer right away, but said to Crawford with a smile.
