Chapter 608+9 Pelican Blades! (2-in-1)
A K1600B BMW motorcycle, plus a pair of sneakers that have not yet been officially released.
Although the value of Tang Tian's Christmas gift this year is not as exaggerated as last year's, it is more meaningful.
For the Pelicans, this gift is priceless.
Whiteside was particularly excited, it was the first time he had received such a valuable gift.
"Guys, there's a gift in the trunk of the car, but it's better to look at it when you get back."
Tang Tian looked at his teammates with a smile and said.
There was something mysterious about this, and the team members all listened to it.
After listening to this, Whiteside waited for the photographer over there to finish his work, and he couldn't wait to open the trunk.
When he saw what was inside, his face turned slightly red.
That's the contact information for the most luxurious private club in New Orleans, and it's said to have a number of top-of-the-line car models.
And more importantly, it also says that the name of Tang Tian can be called for free for one night!
I heard from other team members that Tang Tian sent car models in addition to cars last season.
This year, because it is to help BMW do publicity, it is definitely not suitable for such a thing as a car model.
But Tang Tian still sent it!
It's just a matter of asking your teammates to make their own calls!
Whiteside wasn't Davis, he wasn't that innocent.
When his teammates pulled the car back one after another, he called directly, made an appointment with the Lebanese car model, and then rushed home.
He doesn't have to be alone in the empty room tonight!
Two days later, the Pelicans boarded a plane to Houston, where they would have a Christmas battle with the Rockets.
The Rockets are now fourth in the East, and although they failed to win Anthony in the summer, the combination of Harden + Parsons + Bosh is still very competitive.
Harden averaged 27.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game this season, all of which are career highs, and he is also one of the top candidates for MVP this season.
Bosh averaged 21.3 points and 7 rebounds per game, and although the rebounds have not changed much, the scoring is also the highest since the Heat era.
Parsons averaged 15.6 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game, and although his scoring and rebounding numbers declined, his assists hit a new career high.
This is a miniature version of the Big Three.
Davis hasn't come back yet, and it's not easy for the Pelicans to play such a rocket.
But this is also the charm of the Christmas war, and the strong dialogue is the favorite of fans to watch during such a festival.
Of course, there is more than one Christmas fight, there are five in total this year.
The Pelicans and Rockets game is the second, and before them, the Lakers and Heat game is over.
Because of Tang Tian, the lineups of these two teams are completely different from those in history.
The Lakers traded Chandler and Shampert to fight for the final year, but Chandler was injured shortly after arriving at the team, and Shambert was also uncomfortable.
Just like Kobe Bryant's age, the Lakers already have a sunset feel.
But for most fans, it doesn't seem to matter so much how the Lakers play, and it's already a blessing to continue to see Kobe Bryant play.
The situation of the Heat is not much better, and Wade leads the team with a single core, and he just tries to make the mess less ugly.
However, the confrontation between Wade and Kobe, the former first and second quarterback in the league, is still attracting attention.
And the result of the game was dramatic.
In the 2009 Christmas War, Kobe Bryant's last 0.4 seconds beat the Heat.
And this year, the two teams fought fiercely until the last minute.
The Heat trailed by one point to hold the final attack, and Wade's last-minute shot was blocked by Kobe.
But he got the ball immediately after being covered, threw a shot with one foot, and directly hit the three-point board to beat the Lakers.
This scene is very similar to 5 years ago, except that the person who played the board lore changed from Kobe Bryant to Wade.
This is also a true fulfillment of the saying: Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back.
Before Kobe Bryant retired, Wade returned the feelings he had 5 years ago to Kobe Bryant.
This game was full of energy, and it also made fans look forward to the next games more and more.
The game between the Pelicans and Rockets is about to begin.
On this day, the Toyota Center was rarely full.
For Houston's working-class people, Christmas is a rare time for them to relax.
There were also quite a few Chinese at the scene.
Houston is one of the areas with the largest number of Chinese in the United States, so they won't miss such a special game day.
Before the start of the game, players from both sides made final preparations in the locker room.
"Guys, let's celebrate Christmas with a victory!"
Ci Shiping gathered the team members together and shouted at this time.
"Victory!"
The Pelicans shouted excitedly.
This is the first time the Pelicans have appeared on the stage of the Christmas War since they were formed, and the players themselves are quite excited.
Coupled with the luxurious Christmas combo gift given by Tang Tian before, the Pelicans are now full of morale.
Before the start of the game, players from both sides entered the stadium one after another.
The Rockets have had a good season, and Harden is in a better mood, and he can often be seen smiling on the court.
Tonight, however, his expression was more serious.
Because they all changed from role players of the parent team to the core, and they both grew into superstars, similar experiences, fans always like to compare him with Tang Tian.
And he is often the one who is considered to be the weaker side.
On the one hand, the Rockets have lost more than they won against the Pelicans in the past;
On the other hand, Tang Tian has led the Pelicans to the Western Conference semifinals, while the Rockets have still failed to break through the first round in his home era.
Such an assessment seems to be reasonable.
Before, it was because of the lineup, but this year the team has a good lineup, and he finally has a chance to correct his name.
When Tang Tian was introduced to the opening ceremony, the cheers of the Chinese at the scene were particularly clear.
Tang Tian's influence among the Chinese people today is phenomenal, and it can even be said that there is no one before or since.
Harden frowned slightly, since Tang Tian arrived at the Pelicans, every time the two sides meet, this situation will be encountered, and the home court has become half an away game.
After the opening ceremony, the starters from both sides appeared one after another.
The Pelicans, on their side, still have Teletovic and Whiteside partner on the inside, Tang Tian and Holiday on the outside, and Ariza at small forward.
On the Rockets' side, Bosh and Asik on the inside, Beverley and Harden on the outside, and Parsons on the outside.
Bosh and Whiteside's jump ball.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Bosh used his long arm to flick the ball back into the Rockets half, and the home team had the opportunity to attack first.
Harden carries the ball to the frontcourt and directly beckons Bosh to the high post to block and dismantle.
Harden's basketball philosophy is still the same as before, scoring in the least effort and at the fastest speed.
And the addition of Bosh has made it even easier.
Bosh has range, and he has a high scoring certainty in the air, and the pick-and-roll of the two is almost perfect.
After the disassembly, the Pelicans chose not to switch, and Harden made a direct emergency stop from the mid-range.
"Huh!"
He went into the net on his first shot and looked very good.
The Rockets took the lead.
Williams sat up straight from the bench.
The Rockets look to be in good shape, and tonight's Christmas game is not going to be good.
The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian holds the ball in the high post.
The Rockets didn't have a bag, and Beverley was defending Tang Tian one-on-one.
McHale's adjustment is based on lessons learned from the Pelicans' game against the Celtics.
Tang Tian lacks the ability to attack in the low post, and the offensive method is only to burst and throw.
Just like Stevens used Smart to defend against Tang Tian, the core of this move is to keep up with Tang Tian's speed.
In this way, even if Tang Tian uses confrontation to kill the inside line, not to mention the help defense under the basket, it will be a great drain on his physical strength.
I have to say that Stevens is indeed a rare handsome talent, and even McHale has learned from it.
Beverley is nicknamed "Mad Dog", and aside from the fact that he injured Westbrook in history, he did a good job of defending Westbrook's breakthrough.
Tang Tian changed direction twice in a row and did not pass Beverley, and directly chose to stop and pull out.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball hollows into the net.
The idea of using a guard to defend is really good, but Tang Tian is a pseudo-guard, with a height of 2.01 meters, which is 16 cm taller than Beverley.
This kind of height difference can be cast directly.
McHale learned from Stevens, only the surface but not the essence.
Smart was able to defend Tang Tian before, in addition to Smart's height of 1.93 meters, the bigger reason was that Tang Tian's physical fitness was insufficient and his shooting rate declined when the game reached three overtime.
This is obviously different from the situation at hand.
But the good thing is that defense has never been the label of this Rockets team, and Harden continues to look for Bosh to block and dismantle.
This time, after seeing the Pelicans switch defenses, Harden walked out and deceived Taylor Tovic with a feint of passing the ball inside.
"Huh!"
The mid-range of his step-back step is also advanced.
Tang Tian turned around and saw that the Rockets were still defending in the same way, facing Beverley and pulling again.
"Huh!"
Pull it out and go in!
Beverly was very good at grappling, but Tang Tian didn't entangle with him much at all.
He had a feeling that he had nowhere to go.
After the bombing of the turtle, because of the greater advantage in breakthrough, Tang Tian used more breakthrough offense this season, but in fact, after a summer of training, his basic shooting improved, and the overall shooting percentage was higher than last season.
If he really let him vote, he could have shot Beverley.
The Rockets' offense, Harden continued to play with Bosh in the frontcourt.
This time he burst in with the ball and made a strong layup that caused a defensive foul on Teletovic.
Williams called Aminu up and told him to come up and replace Teletovic.
McHale is not a bag on the defensive end, Taylor Tovic is useless on the offensive end, and the defensive end is a burden.
Harden hit both free throws and scored six straight points in the opening game, and his state exploded.
It seems that he will not only win the game tonight, but also the statistics!
Tang Tian turned around and continued to vote for Beverley.
Beverley was shot twice in a row, and the mad dog attribute came up and pulled Tang Tian.
The referee was sharp-eyed and blew his defensive foul directly.
Don Heavenly Free Throw Line.
He made both free throws in the face of interference, and the two teams were tied 6-6.
Tang Tian and Harden each scored the team's first six points, and the two scored points on the stage of the Christmas war.
At this time, the fans watching the game in front of the TV were excited.
There are Wade and Kobe Bryant against Biao before, and there will be Tang Tian and Harden right away, and the theme of this year's Christmas battle is scoring!
However, in the next round, this situation of soaring points will be broken.
Harden hit smoothly, and after blocking and dismantling the misalignment, he stepped back directly and made a jumper.
But the opposing defender has switched from Teletovic to Aminu, who has a long arm to give him a shot to interfere with his vision.
"Bang dang!"
The basketball bounces high on the back edge.
Harden's third shot hit the iron.
At this time, the Pelicans have Whiteside and Ariza on the inside, while the Rockets have Asik and Bosh and do not have an advantage.
Tang Tian quickly recovered the basket and prepared to grab the board.
That's when something unexpected happened.
Ariza used her big ass to resist Bosh, and after Bosh lost weight, the confrontation was not strong, and he didn't squeeze through.
But after Ariza saw Tang Tian enter the inside line, he didn't go to the board.
On the other hand, Whiteside was stuck with Asik, but he just didn't jump.
Tang Tian easily picked up the defensive rebound.
The moment he got the rebound, Tang Tian was a little confused.
How does this board have the taste of being conceded?
The Pelicans' fast attack, Tang Tian's long pass to Holiday in the backcourt, and Holiday made a three-point shot.
The ball's trajectory was very positive, but unfortunately it was a little heavier, and it smashed into the back of the basket and bounced to the rebound and went out of bounds.
After several waves of attacks in a row, each side attacked once to strike iron.
The Rockets' offense, Bosh backs down to Aminu in the low post, turns and shoots a slight back.
"Bang dang!"
The ball missed, and the basketball bounced off the back edge.
Beverley rushed to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, and Tang Tian also followed and recycled it to the basket.
Because he was on the defensive side, Tang Tian returned to the basket faster, and he was closer to the ball after jumping.
At the same time, Whiteside jumped after jamming Asik.
The two men grabbed the basketball at almost the same time.
It was at this moment that something unusual happened again.
Whiteside saw that it was Tang Tian, and before touching the basketball, he directly put his hand back!
Tang Tianyi grabbed the defensive rebound!
Looking at Whiteside, who had re-stuck Asik after landing, Tang Tian realized that this was Chiguoguo's handicap!
One word naturally came to his mind, Ka Feng.
The person who coined the term was the future Steve Adams of the Thunder.
After Durant left the Thunder in history, Westbrook's style of play changed greatly, and his record did not pursue statistics, and he rushed to a triple-double every game.
In order to cooperate with him, Adams made various card slots to make the board.
It was then that his frontcourt board began to rapidly approach the backcourt board, and even surpassed it for a season later!
A center has more frontcourt boards than backcourt boards, and this incredible statistic is the origin of the word card forward.
Now that Adams hasn't started his card forward career, Whiteside has started first!
Whiteside saw Tang Tian's eyes looking at him, smiled, and then ran forward.
It's obvious.
Last season, Tang Tian gave each of his teammates a supercar on Christmas, and his teammates gave him various blocks and passes.
That feeling is not that he is uncomfortable when he pitches.
This is the second year, and the gifts have been upgraded again, and the performance of teammates has also been upgraded!
Where is the light passing?
If you just pass the ball, the only thing that will rise is the score!
Assists, steals, and blocks are not something they can control, but rebounds can!
Really speaking, Tang Tian scored explosive points last season and had a lot of assists, but this season his scoring is slightly weaker and his assists have increased, but there have not been many rebounds.
This is obviously data to be strengthened!
