Carlisle called a timeout.

After a timeout, he replaced Butler and Conley, and Harris and Nowitzki went off the bench.

There were also substitutions on Stevens' side, with Tang Tian and West coming on to replace Holiday and Davis.

Brogdon hit a free throw after a timeout, and the Pelicans extended the margin to 11 points.

From 3 to 11 points, the Pelicans' bench transition performance in this quarter was perfect.

Butler broke through the basket and scored hard against West to re-narrow the margin to single digits.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The shouts of Dallas fans also rang out at the scene.

The Mavericks won't throw in the towel so easily.

In the cheers of the fans, the Mavericks once again played high-quality defense, the Pelicans' tactics did not come out, and Holiday gave the ball to Tang Tian to deal with.

Tang Tiansan threatened to fake a real shot to deceive Butler, but the Mavericks' help defense came quickly, and Conley on the weak side and Embiid under the basket had already been wrapped.

In the bag, Tang Tian sent a wonderful pass of the top ten balls in history, his right hand passed the ball from behind to his left hand, and then passed the ball to the right from his left hand.

The successive movements resembled the elbow passes of "White Chocolate" Williams, fooling opponents and teammates.

In the bottom corner, Bojan received the ball and was a completely open chance.

Bojan adjusted before making a move.

"Huh!"

He hit the first three-pointer of the game.

It's a little late, but it's still here!

The difference has been widened to 12 points!

The Mavericks' offense, Curry's three-point miss, Embiid's rebound was also destroyed by Jokic, and West protected the defensive rebound.

The Pelicans immediately pushed the defense to counterattack, Tang Tian's advance contained the defense, Brogdon broke through to the front court with the ball, and passed back to Bojan who followed up.

Bojan catches the ball and chases down for three points before shooting.

Scoring a first goal brought him back confidently, and it was a very decisive shot with a strong sense of rhythm.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Bojan's three points scored again!

He shot 0 of 5 three-pointers in the first three quarters, but he has made 2 consecutive shots in this quarter!

This is the shooter, when you don't feel it, you can't shoot in, but you can shoot continuously!

The difference is 15 points!

Carlisle turned and called Nowitzki and Harris up again.

He had just called a timeout earlier, and now he can only hope that the lineup adjustment can save the decline.

Butler cut in to catch the ball and went up, still after confronting West.

However, at the moment when he made a move, Tang Tian came over from the weak side to help defend and flew into a pegboard hat.

The rebound was picked up by Jokic, and the Pelicans quickly attacked, this time it was Brogdon, who received a long pass from Jokic's backcourt and chased a three-point shot.

The score difference has come to 18 points!

In the fourth quarter, it only played more than six minutes!

Carlisle was forced to call another timeout.

From 3 points to 18 points, the original evenly matched situation instantly became one-sided.

After the timeout, all the Mavericks main players returned, and the Pelicans brought Davis back in, and Brogdon and Bojan, who performed well, were still on the court.

Butler came up and forced a foul on Jokic's defense, and made both free throws to stabilize the situation on the court.

But Tang Tian quickly stepped forward and threw into the answerball.

The two teams played two minutes of close play, and the Mavericks were unable to close the gap.

More than three minutes before the end, Carlisle replaced all the main players and announced that he would abandon the game in advance.

Stevens, for their part, also pulled the main force down, and the benches of both sides played the last three minutes.

Tang Tian sat on the sidelines, chatting with Davis while watching the game, and was in a pretty good mood.

Originally, the anxious situation between the two sides in the first three quarters of the game made him think that he would play to the final countdown.

Even everyone thinks so.

But Brogdon's surprise shot, coupled with Bojan regaining his touch and scoring three points in a row, the situation on the court changed all of a sudden.

The Pelicans led by three points when he sat on the bench in the fourth quarter, but by the time he first took his shot, the margin was 16 points.

It's standard lying to win.

After the last three minutes, the score was fixed at 122-105.

After a three-quarter stalemate, the Pelicans opened the fourth quarter with a wave and ended the game early.

Tang Tian scored a game-high 37 points, 10 boards, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Jokic had 20 points, 6 boards and 5 assists, Davis had 17 points, 13 boards and 4 blocks, and Holiday had 15 points.

On the bench, Brogdon had 11 points and 2 assists, David West had 7 points and 4 boards, and Bojan had 6 points and 2 boards.

The Mavericks started with all of them scoring in double figures, with Butler scoring a team-high 29 points.

With this game, the Pelicans' record came to 9-0, only one win less than the Warriors, who had one more game in hand, and ranked second in the West.

Time is the best thing to forget everything.

The Warriors went through run-in pains at the beginning of the season, but fortunately, with the help of the league, they were able to maintain their undefeated record.

In recent games, the team has completed the distribution of shot priority, and the run-in has been completed, and the game has been won by a lot.

Especially the recent 25-point win over the Cavaliers made fans completely forget how they won at the beginning of the season.

With a 10-0 record, TNT re-placed the Warriors at the top of the power rankings, and fans also referred to the Warriors as Cosmic Brave.

Words like "Tsunami Brothers", "You Can Win, I Can't Lose", and "Warriors Scheduled Championship" are frequent.

The Warriors quickly became the favorites to win the championship again.

At the Pelicans' post-game press conference at the end of the game against the Mavericks, in addition to the usual game-related questions, a reporter mentioned this.

"Now that the outside world is saying that the Warriors are the biggest favorites to win the championship, what do you think of that?"

This is a relatively sensitive topic, and the reporters in the audience all looked at Tang Tian.

"We don't seem to have lost a game yet?"

Tang Tian asked directly.

The Warriors are 10-0, but the Pelicans are also 9-0!

If it weren't for the schedule that allowed the Warriors to play one more game, the two teams would now have the same record!

"Does that make you uncomfortable? With the two teams on the same record, most of the attention is on the Warriors. ”

The reporter asked.

"No, it won't."

Tang Tian's answer was very simple.

"The Warriors are on a 10-game winning streak because they're playing up to the fans' expectations, and we're just doing what the defending champions should do."

The reporter smiled, then sat down at the end of the question.

Tang Tian is really good at pretending to be invisible.

But there's nothing wrong with that.

The Pelicans won 74 games last season, and with the same lineup, they will only have to play a higher record than this to attract attention.

And the Warriors' new addition to Durant needs to be run-in, coupled with the remarks of relying on referees at the beginning of the season.

The reason why they have so much attention now is indeed just like Tang Tian said, they just played a performance that met expectations.

As for who is the biggest favourite, when the two teams meet for the first time in the Christmas game, there will naturally be a final answer.
