Chapter 511: Spelling Score Ability (Third Update!) )

This scene is familiar.

In the 1993~94 season, O'Neal and David Robinson competed for the scoring title, and there was such a scene.

David Robinson and O'Neal were closer in scoring at the time, with O'Neal leading by just 0.06 points.

Because the points per game average was so close, the Spurs frantically shot Robinson in the final game that had nothing to do with the win.

As a result, Robinson shot 26-of-41 from the field in that game, scoring 71 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.

This means that O'Neal must score at least 68 points in the final game if he wants to win back the scoring title.

In the end, O'Neal only scored 32 points the next day, unfortunately losing the scoring title.

It also became the most amazing scoring title battle in NBA history.

And now, history is repeating itself.

"Don, if you shoot, we'll keep feeding you."

In the Pelicans' locker room, Evans spoke.

A few starters of the Pelicans, Davis is cute, Holiday doesn't like to talk, Aminu is also humble, except for Tang Tian, the one who can talk is Evans.

Evans spoke, not only as a starter, but also as the rest of the team nodded one after another.

Most of them took Tang Tian's Ferrari, and on this occasion of brushing the scoring champion, there was no reason why they didn't pass the ball to Tang Tian.

And because it doesn't matter if they win or lose, they do it, and Williams won't have a problem.

At the same time in Oklahoma City, Brooks brought the players together in a hurry.

Westbrook's injury is nine times out of ten, but he won't play the last game just to be on the safe side.

"Pass Kevin more during the game."

Brooks used the head coach's authority to make a request to the Thunder players.

He didn't say it very bluntly, but the players knew that Durant would definitely brush up on this scoring title.

The players all nodded one after another, although they didn't want to help Durant from the bottom of their hearts, but the coach's words still had to be listened to.

Reggie Jackson pouted, his scoring in the second half of the season was significantly worse than before, all because Durant grabbed the scoring title.

It looks like he'll have to find a chance to talk to Brooks about his position with the team.

"Guys, Kevin needs this scoring champion."

When Brooks was gone, Westbrook said to the team.

When he spoke, the concept of Brooks opening was completely different.

Brooks is the order, and Westbrook is the request.

Westbrook is a courtesan, and his popularity on the team is unmatched, and he opened his mouth, even if it was Jackson, he was willing to give this face.

Durant didn't say much, he rightly brushed this scoring title, and Westbrook should speak for him as a brother.

On the last day of the game, the other games have been completed one after another, and the Pelicans and Thunder games will also be played one after another.

The difference between the two games is just 2 hours, which means that Durant basically has to look at Tang Tian's face.

In short, in principle, he must score 10+ more points than Tang Tian.

Two people have already decided to score points in the last game.

However, their opponents obviously will not give this chance.

The Bulls arrived in Oklahoma City a day early for an open practice.

After the training, in addition to head coach Thibodeau, Butler and Ruel Deng were also the focus of reporters' interviews.

Because they'll play against Durant in the final game.

Deng is relatively humble, and basically says some polite words in interviews.

But Butler, not so politely.

Except for Tang Tian and Xibodeo, he wouldn't take anyone else in his eyes at all.

'Yes, I'm going to defend with all my might, we need this win, I'm going to give my all to defending him in the game.'

When asked by reporters how Butler would defend himself, he barely hesitated.

"We all know that Durant is going to be the scoring champion this year."

The reporter probably thought that Butler didn't realize this, and opened his mouth to warn.

"Does it have anything to do with me?"

Butler's answer left the reporter speechless.

This, indeed, has nothing to do with Butler.

"No, it matters."

Butler, however, abruptly denied his own words.

Just when the reporter was confused, thinking that he was going to change his mind, Butler spoke again.

"Westbrook doesn't play, we're going to win games, we've got to limit his scoring, so we're going to do everything we can to limit his scoring."

The reporter smiled bitterly after hearing this.

Yes, Butler didn't intend to give Durant face at all, but reaffirmed his determination again.

After Butler was interviewed, he went on to practice on his own.

He now thinks the reporter has something wrong with his brain.

Not to mention that the Bulls need this victory, in terms of his relationship with Tang Tian, it is impossible for him to let Durant win this scoring title.

Those who are not selfish are not people.

At the same time, in Los Angeles, the Lakers at home are ready to play the Pelicans.

Like the Bulls, they are determined to win this game.

However, unlike the Bulls, or Butler, the head coach and the team's boss Kobe Bryant have a different attitude towards the scoring title battle.

"We don't care about that, we care about the team winning."

D'Antoni replied rather crisply.

Compared to D'Antoni, Bryant's answer is very intriguing.

"What we need is this win, and if Don has 70 points and we can still win, I'd rather he score 70."

Kobe Bryant's character, ordinary people can't get into his eyes at all, but Tang Tian is the exception.

Tang Tian helped him twice, and he couldn't have scolded Tang Tian like Butler.

Popularity, in the NBA, seems to be painless, but sometimes it can play a key role.

And what he said is indeed right, the Lakers are still coached by D'Antoni, but they are playing fast, and it is wrong for them to think about how to defend Tang Tian.

All they do is they get more points than their opponents and win the game.

But regardless of what the members of both teams say, the Bulls and Lakers are determined to win the final game.

On April 17, the Pelicans-Lakers game kicked off at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The room was packed, and the eyes of the world were on this game.

In addition to the TNT triumvirate in charge, Zhang Weiping and Su Qun also appeared on the scene for broadcasting.

If Tang Tian can score a high score in this game, it will be the first time in NBA history that a yellow person has won the scoring title.

It's a moment of great significance that they will definitely have to witness on the spot, and they may have interviewed it as soon as they have it after the game.

"Today, the Pelicans don't care if it's reasonable or unreasonable, give the ball to Tang Tian and let him shoot hard, that's the most reasonable way to play."

Before the game started, Zhang Weiping had already begun to warm up for the game.
