"If the opponent is defending with Tim Hardaway, we need to stretch the space on the court as much as possible and play a one-on-one strong advantage......

In fact, not only the Pelicans players, but even head coach Williams is creating more opportunities for Tang Tian.

This one is about the face of the Pelicans.

The commentary for this game is from ESPN's Mike Brin and Knicks legend, "Mid-range King" Alan Houston.

It's interesting to dig into the NBA's commentary arrangement and take a closer look at the momentum.

For example, in this saliva game, ESPN brought the Knicks celebrity as a guest commentator.

"Arain, do you think Hardaway can do what he said before the game?"

Before the game even started, Brin and Houston warmed up on the sidelines.

"Yes, he will do it, I know that little guy, he is in good physical condition and has a high spirit."

Houston isn't a professional narrator, so he's pretty absolute at this point.

"I'll look forward to that scene."

Brin said happily.

Compared to commenting with Miller's old fritter partner, he is obviously much more relaxed now.

The next set, digging a pit, Houston is all a jump and a quasi.

The final tactical arrangements before the game were completed, and the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

The regular lineup on the Pelicans' side, outside Holiday plus Tang Tian, forward Aminuga Davis, center Reggie Evans.

On the Knicks' side, Anthony sat on the sidelines in a suit.

Raymond Felton and Tim Hardaway Jr. on the outside, Shampert and Bagnani on the front, and Tyson Chandler on the center.

Amid the cheers of the home fans, Davis gave the Pelicans the N+N chance to jump the first offense.

Holiday dribbled to the frontcourt, and after the other players pulled away, he gave the ball to Tang Tian and pulled Felton away.

Tang Tian received the ball, and the person who defended him was indeed Hardaway.

There was already a commotion on the sidelines at this time, and they were the ones who wanted to watch Tang Tian smash Hardaway the most.

"To the left? Or to the right? I know you're going to pull it out, you're just going to hit it like that. ”

Before Tang Tian could start attacking, Hardaway began to trash-talk.

Durant said that Tang Tian was easily provoked, so he provoked Tang Tian at the beginning.

Tang Tian glanced at Hardaway lovingly, this guy has a better brain than Whiteside, oh no, worse than Cousins?

He dribbled low, a change of direction to the left.

Hardaway's height is 1.98 meters, which is not much shorter than Tang Tian, and his arm span is excellent, and his ability on the defensive end is still very good.

For the first time, he followed Tang Tian.

But Tang Tian suddenly turned to the right and shook him away directly.

Hardaway is in good health, but he has poor experience as a rookie, so he is obviously too close this time, and it is too late to adjust the defensive focus.

After Tang Tian shook Hardaway, he directly chose to pull it out.

He was barely disturbed by the ball.

"Huh!"

Basketball goes to the net.

The scene erupted in cheers.

The Pelicans' bench also shouted excitedly.

Hardaway vowed to guard against Tang Tian, but he was shaken clean in the first round of the opening game?

On the Knicks' offense, Felton and Bagnani played a block and returned the ball to Bagnani's layup.

Davis, on the weak side, came over to assist, and Evans protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Holiday gave the ball to Tang Tian as soon as possible.

Hardaway learned the lesson from the last time, and the ball didn't stick so tightly.

After Tang Tianyun took two strokes, he saw that Hardaway was far away from him, so he directly pulled up and threw it.

Tony Allen and Butler's aggressive defense is still very useful to him now, but Hardaway's kind is obviously far from it.

Hardaway didn't expect Tang Tian to suddenly pull out, and it was obviously a little late to pounce again.

"Huh!"

Tang Tian's second shot was also in.

Didn't Hardaway say he would only pull out?

But you have to be able to prevent it!

"He's going to have to be more aggressive in the next round of defense so that he can defend against Don's offense."

Houston gave Hardaway a very sincere advice in the commentary booth at this time.

"Yes, he'll be successful in the next round." Brin chimed in.

He has commented a lot of Pelicans, or Tang Tian's games.

He knew very well that Hardaway couldn't stop Tang Tian no matter what, and he also knew why ESPN had Houston as his partner.

Doesn't the audience like to watch this kind of commentary about being slapped in the face?

Then he will cater to the audience and make the slap in the face more thorough.

Felton's three-point shot from the outside was missed, and Evans jammed Chandler to protect the defensive rebound again.

The Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, still Tang Tian's singles with the ball.

The Knicks didn't make the bag.

There is no doubt that since Woodson chose to believe in Hardaway, then he will give enough trust.

Hardaway defended again at this time, and he could see that Tang Tian was deliberately attacking with dry pulls after being provoked by his own trash talk.

Therefore, if you control the center of gravity closely, it is very likely that he will defend it.

Tang Tian's change of direction to the left.

Hardaway followed to the left, but this time his center of gravity wasn't fully shifted, and he was ready to go to the right.

"Bang!"

At this moment, Tang Tian suddenly accelerated directly, and after a physical confrontation with him, he was completely squeezed through!

Tang Tian's offensive means are relatively simple, but with the combination of several techniques, it is difficult to prevent it!

Hardaway was knocked and completely lost his center of gravity, and when he turned around, Tang Tian had already turned around and rushed to the basket.

Evans was holding Chandler under the basket at this point.

Bagnani was slow to move and had no time to help.

Tang Tian's eyes were flat.

He jumped up to the basket and pulled the ball high with his right hand.

The whole head is flush with the basket.

"Bang!"

A powerful flat frame one-arm split buckle!

The cheers at the scene exploded instantly.

Tang Tian scored 6 points in a row at the beginning, and also contributed a wonderful dunk!

What's more, the defenders in all three rounds were Hardaway.

Hardaway said he would guard against Tang Tian?

That kind of words, at best, it is said that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and at worst, it is said that they do not know the height of the sky!

Hardaway gasped twice, he had never been in opposition to Tang Tian before, and at this time he realized the feeling of powerlessness.

He had a feeling that he had been cheated by Durant.

Of course, it is a good thing to step on Tang Tian's throne, but the problem is that now it is Mount Everest standing in front of him, let alone stepping on it, he can't even see the top!

"Smack!"

Durant slammed the cigar in his hand onto the table.

This Hardaway is really a waste, he doesn't need to attack but only defend, and he is so clean by Tang Tian.

It seems that he really overestimated Hardaway.

Soon, though, he picked up a new cigar and lit it.

This is not necessarily a bad thing, Tang Tian felt so good at the beginning, and the Knicks should also be in the bag.

The bag clamp may not work, but it can definitely limit Tang Tian's score.

The path is the same, as long as it has the effect he wants.

Woodson, and not on the bag.

Taking advantage of the foul dead ball on the field, he called Hardaway to the sidelines.

"Aggressive, play aggressive!"

He shouted with a fist.

Although he studied under Larry Brown, he didn't dislike using newcomers as much as his mentor.

When he was coaching in Atlanta, he single-handedly developed Josh Smith into an All-Star.

Although Hardaway is not in the right position, he has good talent, which is one of the reasons why he is willing to try to let Hardaway go to the opposite position with Tang Tian.

Playing against a superstar is a shortcut to a player's rapid development, and of course this process is crucial.

Hardaway nodded, and from Woodson's words, he could feel trust.

Filton made one of two free throws to finally break the scoring drought for the Knicks.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and the ball transitioned in Amino's hands, but it was still passed to Tang Tian.

Tonight, the Pelicans players had only one thought in their hearts, which was to hand over the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian again to Hardaway.

At this time, Hardaway began to move up his body and make small movements.

However, he was still too young, and after a few moves, the referee's whistle sounded on the sidelines.

Hardaway's defensive foul!

Although Tang Tian doesn't have the treatment of a superstar whistle now, this is also the home of the Pelicans!

Hardaway is doing things under the nose of the referee like this, and it is inevitable that he will be blown up.

The Pelicans sideline ball was sent out, and Tang Tian received the ball three more threats.

Hardaway was obviously a little hesitant at this time, he would be passed closely, he would be thrown if he took a step, and he would be blown for a foul when he made a move.

It doesn't seem to be the right thing to do.

Just the moment he hesitated, Tang Tian moved.

A change of direction to the left, a change of direction to the right by pressing one step forward, followed by a change of direction to the left.

The continuous change of direction in front of the body is the fastest dribbling frequency that Tang Tian can use.

Hardaway's center of gravity swayed visibly, and his judgment was misguided, and his body swooped to the right.

When he saw Tang Tian go to the left again, his body couldn't keep up with the swing of the center of gravity, his legs staggered, and he fell directly to the ground!

Hardaway, was knocked down by Tang Tianhuang!

There was laughter and whistles on the sidelines.

Hardaway really underestimated Tang Tian too much, and overestimated himself too much!

This forced end is to become famous in a fight, but this fame is not a good thing!

After Tang Tian shook Hardaway, he pulled out his hand unguarded.

"Huh!"

Basketball is once again in the net.

He hit all 4 shots in the opening game!

Hardaway wanted to blow up Tang Tian's upper position, but as soon as he started, he was beaten by Tang Tian!

“Holyshit！”

Houston secretly blew himself out in the commentary booth.

He didn't expect Hardaway to be blown up so badly, and even he felt a hot face.

Houston was in his heart, but ESPN's commentary was completely out, and the fans were laughing in front of the TV.

This slap in the face feels so cool!

Woodson reached out to his forehead.

He felt that he shouldn't have promised Hardaway, it was a good thing to be a superstar, but the gap was too big, and it hurt Hardaway.

But he still can't replace Hardaway, and if he replaces Hardaway at this time, Hardaway will really be completely ruined.

The Knicks didn't have a catch, and Hardaway wasn't substituted.

This section became Hardaway's nightmare time, he didn't have to think about the attack at all, Tang Tian bombarded above his head, and he was completely stunned.

By the time he was substituted with four minutes left in the first quarter, his head was still buzzing.

He has already greeted the eighteen generations of Durant's ancestors in his heart, this is really treating him as cannon fodder!

And he was abused before he knew that when the Thunder and Pelicans fought each other, Durant had never beaten Tang Tian, how could he believe Durant's evil at that time!

In the first quarter, Tang Tian received the full support of his teammates, and scored 25 points on 10-of-15 shooting in a single quarter, setting a new record for his single-quarter score!

The Pelicans also ended the quarter leading the Knicks 35-18!
