Chapter 515: Staples' Basket Is Roaring (Third Update!) )
The fourth quarter begins.
Tang Tian was resting from the sidelines, and he was gasping for air.
Sure enough, even if it's a simple one-on-one, such a crazy shot will still not be able to keep up.
Every shot in the NBA will encounter high-intensity defense, let alone more than 30 shots in the third quarter.
Many players gave him this right to shoot, and he couldn't afford to play like this.
And Tang Tian is not a pure catch-and-shoot like Thompson, he wants to dribble to get rid of the defense, pull out, and break through.
Every time it's not just a simple shot, but also a lot of physical strength that needs to be spent in order to make a shot.
A lot of players, like Westbrook, started the game hard, but by the third or fourth quarter, they were out on the outside.
This is actually a manifestation of physical weakness.
The Turtle Bombardment's style of play looks domineering, but the physical exertion is very large.
Gordon was in a bad state tonight, and he was very inaccurate in the first and second quarters, and there were consecutive mistakes after this section went up.
The Lakers seized the opportunity to play back-to-back counterattacks and quickly closed the score.
"Can you afford it?"
Williams walked over to Tang Tian at this time and asked.
Tang Tian nodded.
Pau Gasol has been a hitman for Whiteside on the inside.
The game went into a dead ball, and Tang Tian came on the field to replace Gordon.
Pau Gasol hit both free throws.
89-89, the Lakers tied the score in less than three minutes!
"Defend! Defend! ”
This wave of chasing points completely brought the momentum of the scene to the scene, and the fans cheered for the home team in unison.
Tang Tian singled Livingston in the front court, and changed to a backward dry pull.
"Bang!"
The ball was noticeably a little short and slammed into the front of the basket.
Whiteside jumped up at this time, grabbed the offensive rebound, and then threw it to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian knew that he didn't feel good, so he rushed in with the ball, and when he came to the close range to confront Da Gasol, he made a shot.
The referee didn't blow the whistle, and the ball was shot and then knocked off the front of the rebound.
This time the defensive rebound was picked up by Gasol Sr.
The Lakers fought back, but Aminu defended the ball well and blocked Nick Young's layup.
Cole dribbled the ball back to the front court and gave the ball to Tang Tian to play singles.
After Tang Tian's continuous body change of direction, he broke through to the basket.
Big Gasol gave the long-arm interference, and Tang Tian made a shot after the confrontation.
The ball glides off the back edge of the basket.
He was substituted and missed 3 shots in a row!
And that's not all, in the next few minutes, Tang Tian completely turned into a little blacksmith in Milan.
"Bang dang!"
"Bang dang!"
The Staples Center's basket was beaten hard by Kobe Bryant every day, and this time it was finally a different person.
"Sell iron, good fine iron, tens of thousands of fine iron every day!"
The Milan blacksmith shop was shouting, and business was getting better.
Tang Tian played for more than 5 minutes, hitting 9 irons in a row, and almost missed the basket.
There was only one reason for this, and he couldn't keep up with his physical strength.
Although he is averaging a lot of points per game now, because he doesn't have many scoring methods, even if he plays one game in the whole game, he can't afford to play like this.
But fortunately, he was not alone tonight, and he passed on his feelings to the Lakers players after he came up.
The Pelicans didn't score, and neither did the Lakers.
The sound of "clang" was endless, and the basket in the Staples Center let out a roar of rage.
Fans feel their heads buzzing.
Then Tang Tian began to stop making a move and went shopping.
It's something that a lot of NBA superstars choose to do, rest on the court at some point.
In this way, you can not only get a break, but also ensure that you can play a role on the field.
The main forces of both sides have returned one after another during this period.
While Tang Tian was hanging out, Davis stepped up and blossomed inside and outside to help the Pelicans bite the score.
As the game entered the final two minutes, the Lakers led the Pelicans by two points at 99-97.
On the Lakers' offense, Bryant sat in the low post to hit Holiday and turned to the basket to kill, and the aerial lever dodged Davis's block and scored a difficult goal.
The goal ignited the Staples Center.
Old Kobe Bryant was iron tonight except for the third quarter, but he was still the superstar at the critical moment!
The 4-point lead was enough to make the Lakers have the final laugh.
Tang Tian is about to create the most scoring slash this season.
And the Lakers won, and against the Pelicans in the playoffs, Tang Tian's 60+ points will not help, this morale is a day and a place.
"Defend! Defend! ”
The cheers from the crowd were deafening, they are going to win the championship this year!
Tang Tian took the initiative to reach out for the ball when he arrived at the front court, and after shopping on the field for more than 4 minutes, his physical fitness had recovered a lot.
And at this point in time, he must also attack.
The Lakers are still not covered, and the cheers on the scene are overwhelming.
Tang Tian's continuous change of direction also connected to a crotch.
He doesn't have a lot of stamina right now, and he has to make sure that he has room for every attack.
At this point in time, Miles on the opposite side also had a bit of a problem with his physical strength, and his center of gravity was obviously shaking.
Tang Tian seized the opportunity and suddenly took a step forward.
Miles didn't keep up.
Tang Tian's three-point dry pull opportunity.
The ball was shot, and Miles' defensive interference arrived.
The ball spun towards the basket.
"Huh!"
The ball is in!
After shooting 0-of-9 in the quarter, his 10th shot finally went in!
This is to implement the core idea of Kobe's sentence "I'd rather shoot 0 out of 30 than shoot 0 out of 9".
1 point difference, and some hit!
Kobe Bryant went to the front court to catch the ball and make a bag, he distributed the ball to the basket of Gasol, Gasol turned and singled Davis's shot to cause the latter's hitter!
Experience is important at times like these.
Davis shook his head a little frustratedly, and Tang Tian went over to comfort him a few words.
Gasol adjusted his breath and hit both free throws.
The Lakers take another 3-point lead!
There is only a minute or a dozen seconds left in the game.
Tang Tian held the ball again in the front court, and this time he chose to change his way back to break through.
Looking at Gasol's defense, he consciously waited for a moment this time, taking advantage of the speed difference to create space before making a move.
The ball shot, spun around the basket and rolled in!
0 in 9, 2 in 11!
After Tang Tian's physical fitness recovered a little, his feel and state were obviously in the ascending stage!
It's still a 1-point difference!
The fans at the scene stood up one after another.
This battle, which was accompanied by the scoring champion and the focus of the playoffs, was still played to the last minute!
The outcome of this game doesn't look like it will have an impact on the Pelicans' standings, but it's clear that they don't want to go into the playoffs with a morale disadvantage either!
Now, it's both sides that want to win!
Bryant went to the front court to continue to ask for the ball alone, this time catching up with his trademark turn and leaning back before the bag came up.
"Bang dang!"
With another roar from the Staples Center basket, the Pelicans' chance came.
ps: Little eggplant has been crying since the first day of the new year, it is really not easy to be a parent, it took an hour to temporarily calm down, and seized the opportunity to write the fourth update.
