Chapter 785: You're a Genius (First Update!) )
The Pelicans' first game after the All-Star break was against the Suns.
The Suns have basically given up this season and are now focusing on Porzingis.
They didn't cause too much trouble for the Pelicans in this game.
At the end of the third quarter, the 20-point difference also made the last quarter garbage time.
There is no suspense about the outcome of the game, but some fans found that Tang Tian got a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists in the third quarter.
Tang Tian's pass is not bad, but he is by no means a master of passing, and his previous assists are mostly passes after attracting the bag with strong personal offensive power.
There are sharp-eyed fans on the hotline, and they find that Tang Tian's vision and accuracy of this pass are better than in the past.
But the only ones who found these were a few fans, after all, getting an assist and a double-double is not a big deal for Tang Tian, let alone the weak Suns.
But compared to those fans, it was the Pelicans players who were really surprised.
An easy big victory, a three-quarter clock-in game, Tang Tian stayed alone in the arena after the game, and practiced passing with the help of Nash.
Stevens was surprised, but he was more relieved.
scored a double-double in the third quarter, led the team to a big victory, and was still so strict with himself after the game.
At this point in the core of the team, it is difficult for this team not to win.
But this time, it was they who misunderstood Tang Tian.
Tang Tian took the new skill and trained by the competition, but he still found a lot of problems after a game.
Because Nash was in Phoenix, Tang Tian seized the time to let him help improve his passing skills.
Single-minded and precise, Nash has a much deeper understanding of passing than Prokopio.
"You need to control your wrist and that's the key to passing, it's like a shot, it's going to make sure you have a passing angle......"
Nash is now imparting his passing experience.
The skills given by the system are only to provide abilities, and to really let him show his strength, he needs to add his own understanding.
In basketball, it's a lot more creative than scoring.
Tang Tian was training in the way Nash requested, because the ability was there, and he mastered many movements very quickly.
This stunned Nash.
"God, you're a genius!"
Nash couldn't help but exclaim.
He's an all-time point guard with an over-the-top understanding of the passing technique.
It's a technique that takes time to settle in, and that's where the saying goes, the older a point guard gets, the more demonic he becomes.
"Yes, I'm a genius."
Tang Tian said jokingly.
Of course, he couldn't say anything about skills.
Nash was amused by Tang Tian and laughed.
Although Tang Tian was joking, there was nothing wrong with this.
Although Tang Tian is not like James and Magician, he is the chosen son as soon as he enters the alliance.
But he's improved quite impressively every year, and that's one of the geniuses.
The day after the game, the Pelicans returned to New Orleans.
It was during their first training session after returning that they met Stephenson, who had completed his physical examination.
With a beard on his face, he was born in 90 and was only 26 years old, and he entered the alliance in the same year as Tang Tian.
But perhaps it is the upheaval of the past few years that makes him look like a veteran.
After he came in, he greeted his teammates one by one, and he was quite happy with his black face and white teeth.
"Boss, I'm here to win the championship."
Stephenson finally greeted Tang Tian, opened his mouth as a boss, and his words caused a burst of laughter from his teammates.
Tang Tian couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, he turned his head to look at Bo Yang, Bo Yang is a competitor!
Stephenson came to fill Morrow's rotation.
But because of the wide variation in technical characteristics, Stevens has positioned him as the second playmaker for the bench.
This is the result of a consultation with the coaching staff.
Stephenson is a ball-handling player like Dinwiddie, but he's clearly not as steady as Dinwiddie.
Let him hold the ball for a short period of time, so that he can play to his advantages without messing around.
When it comes to knowing people and making good use of them, Stevens really has a Popovich flavor.
And this proved to work.
Over the next week, the Pelicans continued their winning streak, knocking out the Nuggets, Lakers and Pistons.
Counting the pre-All-Star break, they had their third 12-game winning streak of the season.
Stephenson's stats in these three games were 7 points, 2 assists and 1 turnover, 9 points, 3 assists and 2 turnovers, and 8 points and 2 assists without turnovers.
You can see from the data that he fits in very well.
The team started a new winning streak, Stephenson also integrated well, and the Pelicans' All-Star Game was as consistent as ever.
But these fans are used to it, and what really makes them happy is Tang Tian's pass, which is really a visible improvement.
It's not just the accuracy and consistency of his passes, he's even starting to play with it.
In the latest big win over the Pistons, he came with a crotch pass between the marches, which directly exploded the emotions of the fans.
The three most enjoyable techniques in basketball games are ultra-long three-pointers, one's slam-dunk, and one is sassy passing.
Dazzling passing, just as much adrenaline rushing.
Tang Tian, who can score and pass the ball, makes the fans more and more crazy.
"Calm down, guys, they're just abusing the vegetables!"
But it was Barkley who calmed down and shouted on TNT's show.
Although he has a big mouth, this is not unreasonable.
The Pelicans went through a wave of devilish schedules before the All-Star break, and the schedule after the All-Star break has become easy again.
The weaker the opponent's defense, the worse it is, and these techniques are really not that eye-catching.
"The next game is the big one."
Barkley continued to shout.
The Pelicans' next game against the Rockets is the Rockets.
The current Rockets are not the same team as the Rockets they played last time.
I don't know what method Morey used in private, the conflict between Paul and Cousins has been resolved, and Cousins is very focused.
And they have strengthened Morris, and their strength has reached a higher level.
Like the Pelicans, their record since the All-Star break is a four-game winning streak.
Morris became the starting power forward after coming to the Rockets, averaging 11.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, which is a bit good to be able to play this statistic next to the Big Three.
It is no exaggeration to say that the strength of the Rockets is now at least 20% stronger than before.
It's going to be hard for the Pelicans to win as easily as they did last time.
That's what Barkley called the main thing.
The game was played at the Toyota Center, and the Rockets players were eager to try it.
They haven't won against the Warriors and Pelicans this season, and this is their chance, and they can't wait.
But what they probably didn't expect was that Tang Tian on the Pelicans' side had the same idea.
After four games, he has a full grasp of his passing ability, and he now wants to find a strong team to test.
