Chapter 649: The Youngest Three Pairs in History (Fourth Update!) )
Smith's breakthrough was tackled by Tang Tian, who returned the ball to the fast Dinwiddie in the fast break.
Dinwiddie then fed Jokic, who was late in the middle, and the latter took the ball and fired directly from beyond the three-point line.
Jokic's three-pointer is like a high battery, and the shot is high and heavy.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound of entering the net, the basketball fell heavily into the net bag.
It was a powerful goal that helped the Pelicans extend the margin to double digits and bring his individual score to 11.
Smith's three-point shot from the outside against Tang Tian was still missed, and Jokic got his 10th rebound of the game.
Tang Tian broke through the double bag in the front court and entered the inside line to attack successfully.
In the blink of an eye, the difference between the two sides has reached as much as 14 points.
Woodson was forced to call a timeout.
The Knicks have had a good season this season, but JR Smith is in average form, and they rely on the duo far more than the Pelicans.
Anthony and Howard can't play for a while, and the Knicks are already showing signs of collapse.
After a timeout, Woodson replaced Anthony and Howard early.
This was forced by the Pelicans.
After a timeout, Howard hit Jokic under the basket, and Davis came over to help defend it.
Howard was happy playing with the Knicks and was willing to share the ball, giving the ball to Stoudemire at the free-throw line in the bag.
Stoudemire took the ball and killed it, trying to make a bow for the overlord.
But Davis made a shot on the inside and forced Stoudemire's dunk down.
Davis couldn't carry Howard well, but he had more than enough to carry Stoudemire at the end of his career.
The ball that was covered went to Aminu.
The ball was given to Tang Tian.
The Pelicans had a clear lead, and he was not in a hurry to play fast and began to play at a lower tempo.
Jokic's playmaking at the top of the arc, interspersed with the Pelicans' back-and-forth runs.
Anthony had only been resting for less than a minute off the court, and there was a bit of a physical problem at this time, Tang Tian took advantage of Aminu's block to cut into the basket and accelerate to get rid of him.
Jokic saw Tang Tian's cut trajectory and directly put the ball into the basket.
He really dares to pass on!
Tang Tian flew up after seeing the pass.
The quality of this ball pass was just right, and Tang Tian got the ball and smashed it directly into the basket.
"Bang!"
The ball was smashed into the basket.
The cheers burst into applause.
Empty catches are not uncommon in the Pelicans, but in the past, it was basically Tang Tian who passed to the two big men, but I didn't expect that this time Tang Tian would become the one who received the ball!
Jokic's hand work is definitely gold-level.
A difference of 16 points!
The Pelicans have bagged the winning average.
Anthony hit a pull-and-go shot from Aminu in the front court to score 36 points of the game and force the Knicks back from the brink.
But in the end, it was Jokic again, at the top of the arc, and one hit the ball to Amino, who made a layup and scored two more points.
I have to say that Jokic really has unprecedented significance to the Pelicans at the tactical level.
He's a center, but he can shoot threes, he can pull the center out, make the opponent's interior empty, and with first-class passing, the opponent can't defend against it.
Tang Tian's dunk in front and Aminu's layup all benefited from this.
Now Jokic is still constrained by defense, once his defense is above the league average, then Tang Tian can really break through unscrupulously.
Not to mention that Davis is waiting for an opportunity.
The Pelicans really gave a glimpse of a very scary future tonight.
After Aminu's ball went in, a string of data was played on the big LED screen at the scene.
is Jokic's personal data for this game.
11 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
With about six minutes left in the game, Jokic had already picked up the first triple-double of his career!
In his first game as a starter!
This is definitely a historic moment.
The cheers of the fans at the scene could not be stopped.
Two years ago, they were completely shut out of the playoffs, with only an injured Gordon, a sloppy defense, and an injury-ridden champion who could be wiped out.
But now, they have a great squad and the future is even more visible to the naked eye.
This scene really made the home fans excited.
Anthony and Howard worked hard to help the team turn around, but they fell behind by too many points.
In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Knicks 116-108 at home to beat their opponents 116-108 this season.
Anthony scored 44 points and 7 boards, Howard scored 20 points and 12 boards, and the rest of the Knicks gave too little help.
Tang Tian had a Pelicans-high 28 points, 7 boards and 5 assists, Davis had 17 points and 9 boards, and Jokic had a triple-double of 13 points, 10 boards and 11 assists.
After the game, the big LED screen on the scene gave a close-up of Jokic's data.
And next to the close-up, there is also a note of a text.
The youngest triple-double in NBA history, 20 years and 2 days.
The previous record for the youngest triple-double was held by James.
The latter was 20 years and 20 days old, a third-year student, and scored 27 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists against the Trail Blazers.
Now that record has been broken by Jokic.
What's more worth mentioning is that this is not only the youngest record, but also the fastest to reach this record among rookies.
Tang Tian only reacted when he looked up and saw this.
He went over and touched Jokic's head, then reached out to signal the crowd to take the lead in cheering for Jokic.
"Jokic! Jokic! ”
Under the leadership of Tang Tian, the fans chanted Jokic's name.
It was the night of his career.
Jokic's eyes were red, he turned his head and hugged Tang Tian, he was really grateful to Tang Tian, and he was really glad that he came to such a team.
At the post-game press conference, Tang Tian and Jokic attended together.
In addition to his daily praise, Tang Tian also gave Jokic a nickname.
He is not for no reason, but he really respects history.
"Joker, you can call him that from now on."
After Tang Tian finished speaking with a smile, Jokic was stunned, and there was a burst of discussion in the audience.
But soon, most people reacted.
Joker, a homonym with jokic, is easy to call.
And joker is the nickname for the clown in DC movies, and they are basically equated.
The Joker is the most impressive and popular villain in the movie, and he takes pleasure in playing tricks on his opponents.
Jokic's passing in the game, as well as his budding inside footsteps, also has the feeling and potential to play with opponents.
The nickname really lives up to its name.
Williams laughed as he listened, and Tang Tian gave Whiteside the white-edged nickname, and now Jokic a joker.
Coupled with his own bunch of nicknames, he is really a nickname king!
