Buford's desire to resign this time was deliberate.

This season, as Tang Tian continues to go berserk, he is sprayed and blamed on the Internet every day, and he is really tracked by fans and is in danger of being exploded, who can stand it!

Holt didn't faint this time, and after relieving himself, he tried his best to persuade Buford, saying how important he was to the team, etc., and finally persuaded him to go back.

Now that the management of the Spurs is on the cusp, if Buford resigns, it is estimated that the guns of the fans will really have to fall to his side.

He's already angry, but he doesn't want to have to take the blame again.

After a two-day break, the Pelicans are at home to take on the Nets.

Nets owner Prokhorov spent a lot of money last season, and the team went out in the first round.

His understanding is that the money is not enough.

So a wave of local tyrants was willful, and directly smashed the five all-star lineups out, and handed over the league's most exaggerated luxury tax of 80 million.

The Nets' current starting lineup, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Paul Pearce, Kevin Garnett, Brook Lopez.

If all five people are at their peak, the league can directly send them championship trophies in advance.

However, even if they are not at their peak, they are very strong, and now they are ranked third in the East, and they are also full of confidence in the championship.

Just after playing the Spurs, playing against such a strong opponent is a big test for the Pelicans.

The game was played extremely anxious from the beginning, and the scores of the two teams kept alternating and the stalemate lasted until the last moment.

This time it was Davis who stepped up, first blocking Pierce's key layup and grabbing a defensive rebound.

Immediately after that, the offensive end received Tang Tian's second pass and scored 2+1, directly killing the game.

In this game, he scored 25 points, 15 rebounds, 3 steals and 5 blocks, and played the best game of the season.

Tang Tian also continued the fiery form of the last game against the Spurs, shooting 15 of 27 from the field, 2 of 7 three-pointers, 8 of 9 free throws, and another 40 points and 5 assists.

After scoring 40 points, he extended his 30+ streak to 6 and 40+ to 2.

If he scores 40+ points in the next game, in addition to continuing his record of 30+, he will also become the first player in the league to score 40+ in three consecutive games this season.

After the game, in addition to the fans blowing Tang Tian as always, a new topic was thrown out by the fans.

Tang Tian, who has always been vigorous, and Davis, who has a historical talent, who is the boss of the Pelicans.

Statistically speaking, Tang Tian averaged 27.9 points, 5.2 assists, 1.9 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, and Davis averaged 14.5 points, 12.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 3 blocks per game.

Tang Tian was undoubtedly overwhelming.

But the data comes from the number of shots, and Davis is the champion selected and cultivated by the team itself, and Tang Tian is from a foreign team.

This kind of topic was actually discussed at the beginning, but because Tang Tian's previous performance had been significantly better than Davis, the voice was not very loud.

But with Davis also playing well this time, the sound has become noticeably louder.

The NBA is a business alliance, because interests will be full of all kinds of deceit, and it is not excluded that competitors are deliberately creating this kind of voice.

But whatever the reason, the topic is actually quite sensitive.

It is also thanks to Tang Tian that Tang Tian was the Pelican who was chosen, and Davis has a gentle personality.

If you go to the Rockets or the Lakers, the locker room conflict is a matter of minutes.

With that sound, after playing the Nets, the Pelicans flew to New York the next day, where they will play against the Knicks.

If they can win this game, they will move themselves up from eighth to seventh in the West for the first time of the season.

The Knicks have largely retained last season's roster, but the team's performance is very different from last season.

They finished second in the East last season and are currently in 10th place this season, and they may not be able to make the playoffs.

They are now in desperate need of a win to boost their squad's morale.

The Chinese market in New York is huge, and this game is also attracting the attention of local fans.

Before the start of the game, many Chinese fans entered the stadium holding Tang Tian's KT board high.

Tang Tian is now causing a sensation among the Chinese people more than Lin Madness who also set off in New York at the beginning.

During the warm-up before the start of the game, reporters on the sidelines interviewed J.R. Smith, the core guard of the Knicks.

"If Don scores 40+ in this game, he'll be the player with the most consecutive 40+ points this season."

After asking some regular questions, the reporter mentioned a topic that has been talked about a lot recently.

"Really? That's not going to work out, we're in the top 10 defensively this season, we're not going to let him get that point, and this is the Madison Square Garden guy, it's not easy to get high scores here. ”

Smith's answer was straightforward.

Madison Square Garden is the "basketball Mecca" and is the site of many brilliant deeds in the NBA, such as Jordan's 40+, Miller moments, and so on.

NBA stars are also proud to score high points here.

But just like the chicken-and-egg problem, the Knicks naturally don't want to be a backdrop for opposing players to score highs.

That's why Smith said this.

Madison Square Garden was packed that night.

Because of the players who often booed themselves, the fans here are called the worst fans in the league.

But there's never a shortage of spectators because it's located in New York, the most prosperous city in the United States.

It was a nationally streamed game, and ESPN sent Brin and Miller to the live commentary.

CCTV also sent Zhang Weiping and Su Qun to broadcast the commentary.

The scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starters of the Pelicans and Knicks were introduced one after another.

As a player of the away team, Tang Tian made his penultimate appearance, which caused bursts of cheers from Chinese fans on the sidelines.

is super popular, so that when he plays away now, he will always have this kind of "special treatment".

Tang Tian waved to the fans as usual.

When he was in the ranks, he couldn't help but look up at the sky above the arena.

When he was still playing in the NCAA, he and Walker played St. John's University here.

It was the first time he had been here since he had crossed over.

At that time, Walker looked yearning, and he was a memory.

Two years have passed, and although I have been here several times before on behalf of Spurs, each time, it seems to have a different feeling.

That's probably the magic of basketball Mecca.

The outside world is talking about his high score, and he has set a small goal for himself this time.

In addition to helping the Pelicans win three straight and move further in the rankings, he is also ready to continue his 40+ scoring performance in this game.

He needs popularity, and he wants to be like other superstars who have made his name in the history of the arena.
