Chapter 657: Javier McGee (Fourth Update!) )
The Pelicans' teammates on and off the court rushed to Tang Tian's side like crazy.
This is definitely an epic lore ball, the kind that can be ranked among the top 50 in history!
“MVP! MVP! ”
The fans also chanted in unison.
It's just that they are not shouting Tang Tian's name, but MVP.
Not only because of Tang Tian's performance tonight, but also because when the outside world questioned the MVP rankings, Tang Tian responded with practical actions.
15 of 27 shots, 40 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, a personal wave in the first and third quarters, and an epic final kill.
Tang Tian played an absolute MVP-level performance in the most important games.
And the key thing is that he also led the whole team.
Davis had 20 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks, and 4 of his athletic goals came from Tang Tian's assists;
Ariza had 14 points and 4 rebounds, and 2 of the 4 three-pointers he made were assists from Tang Tian;
……
After the game, the teammates of both sides gave a final handshake.
James didn't even shake hands with his Pelicans teammates before heading straight back to the locker room.
He scored 33 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists in this game, and his statistics were not much worse than Tang Tian, but the point was that the Cavaliers lost.
He is also a person who wants to save face, losing to Tang Tian in a row, and being killed, he can no longer show his generosity on such a night.
Tang Tian and Owen chatted a lot when they hugged and said a lot of words to congratulate each other.
Irving scored a game-high 30 points for the Cavaliers, along with four rebounds and seven assists.
On social media after the game, Pelicans fans, who had been suppressed on the hotline all night, finally began to fight back.
"I said before why Don was ahead of James, let me tell you, by winning!"
"You just killed the match guy!"
"To be honest, LeBron played very well this time, but the opposite is the second big man on the MVP list, and there is a reason why he is higher than you!"
"It's really embarrassing to think about it, the second-round show that was abandoned by the Heat team at the beginning, and now the MVP call is higher than the first person in the league they shouted at the beginning, tsk!"
"Riley has put five thousand dollars into your bank card number, and begs you not to dig up the ancient tomb!"
……
This heart-wrenching victory gave the Pelicans a sweep away the gloom of the past week and was a great boost to the team's morale.
But where there is good news, there is bad news.
The revenge knights were happy to win the spotlight, but Jokic's post-game MRI was positive, which was not ideal.
And the results of the examination came out the next day, and he had a sprained Achilles tendon in his ankle and would be out for 1~2 months.
It was definitely a big blow to the Pelicans.
It's March, and even if Jokic recovers well, he will be back in a month, and that's near the end of the regular season.
Just like Davis before him, it will take time for the player to adjust when he returns.
And Jokic is still prone to obesity, and his weight will definitely go up again during this rest, and it will take time to fall down.
Not to mention that if it is 2 months, then his comeback will already be in May, when the playoffs may reach the second round.
Jokic suffered a serious injury, and Demps also accelerated contract talks with McGee.
McGee, who was unpopular on the buyout market, eventually agreed to a fully guaranteed one-year base salary contract with the Pelicans.
That means he'll be with the Pelicans until the end of the season.
McGee returned to Denver after being cut by the 76ers, and after signing him, he packed his bags and arrived in New Orleans the next day.
The house was rented, and after passing the medical examination, he reported to the team the next afternoon.
His quick action will also allow him to catch the next home game against the Nuggets.
The NBA's schedule was scheduled back last offseason, but sometimes it's just that fantastic.
McGee was just traded away by the Nuggets, and his first game after signing was to play his old club.
McGee came to report on the team, which had just finished training and was resting in the locker room.
2.13 meters tall, oversized body, if it weren't for the face that made it difficult to be serious because of the embarrassment, this is the appearance of a super center.
Borrego led McGee to Evans' cupboard and told him what he had said to Biyombo.
McGee smiled and nodded, completely different from Biyombo, and as soon as Borrego left, he took the initiative to greet the other teammates and introduce himself.
This guy is quite active and seems to have a cheerful personality, which is the polar opposite of the previous Biyombo.
"Hey! Brothers! ”
McGee finally came to Tang Tian's side and directly smiled and stretched out his hand to hug him.
Davis was sitting beside Tang Tian drinking water at this time, and almost squirted out without a mouthful of water.
How can there be newcomers who call the team's boss brother as soon as they come to the team!
The others are also big for a while, McGee, this guy, really has a worse brain than Whiteside!
Tang Tian didn't care, and hugged McGee with a smile.
The game against the Nuggets is at home, tomorrow night.
Williams only scheduled a few shots and a simple matchup drill on the morning of game day.
At the end of the session, Dinwiddie was ready to go buy burgers for everyone.
Dinwiddie is a rookie, he does this kind of work, and he loves it.
It's just a hamburger and juice drink for 15 people, and Dinwiddie can't hold it alone, which he usually does with Jokic.
Now Jokic is injured.
"Javier, you go with Spencer."
Ci Shiping said to McGee with a smile.
McGee isn't a rookie anymore, but he's still a rookie with the Pelicans.
Moreover, McGee called Tang Tian a brother as soon as he came yesterday, and Ci Shiping also wanted to knock him.
"No problem."
McGee simply didn't say anything, stood up with a smile, and went out with Dinwiddie.
The move drew laughter from the crowd in the locker room.
It seemed to them that McGee didn't even know she had been beaten.
Ci Shiping also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It was more than half an hour before Dinwiddie and McGee returned.
The team members had already taken a shower and chatted there for a while.
It turned out to be a temporary renovation of a burger restaurant near the stadium, and they ran to the store a few kilometers away to buy a burger.
The players wanted to complain about their slow speed, but when they heard this, they praised them instead.
McGee starts pieting burgers, but he gives himself the first one on top.
"Javier, you can't do this, be the first one to yourself."
Ci Shiping couldn't help but say when he saw this.
He really thinks this guy has a bad brain.
"It's windy outside, it's a little cold on the top, you guys are easy to feel uncomfortable when you eat, and my stomach is not afraid of this."
McGee wasn't angry either, and said with a smile.
Ci Shiping originally wanted to educate him, but when he heard this, he was suddenly stunned.
Tang Tian was sitting not far away, and when he heard this, he also looked up at McGee.
This is not like a person with a bad brain, but he knows how to be a person.
Thinking about it, he has been calling him a brother and sister since he was a brother, and narrowing the distance with his teammates, McGee may not have a bad brain, but his emotional intelligence is not low.
