When Anthony was there, he was sprayed by many fans as a cancer, but it turned out that without Anthony, this Knicks is really a chicken.

Seeing that the game was going to take a flower, J.R. Smith began to go into convulsive mode.

In the opening stage of the second quarter, he scored three three-pointers in a row to lead the team to a wave of 10-2 offensive and narrow the difference to single digits.

Tang Tian only sat on the court for more than three minutes before he was replaced by Williams.

Tang Tian was replaced this time mainly to prevent Smith, and it did work.

Although he gained some weight, his speed did not decrease much.

At halftime, the Pelicans led the Knicks by 15 points, 55-40.

Tang Tian scored 30 points, 6 assists and 3 steals in the half, and his performance was quite eye-catching.

"What is Don's career scoring record?"

When he came back in the second half, Houston had already reacted in hindsight, not talking about Hardaway's defense of Tang Tian, but diverting the topic to talk about something else.

"51 points, scored against the Thunder."

Brin replied.

That game was earth-shattering, Tang Tian scored 51 points against Biao Durant 43 points, which can be called the best game of the season.

"Do you think he can break the record tonight?"

Houston then asked.

"Do you think you can?" Brin is an old fritter in the commentary seat, and he doesn't jump when he has a pit, and he bounces back.

'I think it's difficult, I know Mike and he's definitely going to be targeted in the second half. Houston is still upright.

Brin smiled and didn't answer.

In fact, he also felt that it was difficult for Tang Tian to break the record, not the one Houston said.

Since Tang Tian's dribbling ability has improved, it has been more difficult to restrict him by relying on the bag.

If it's a team like the Grizzlies, it can work with subsequent defensive rotations, but the Knicks are actually not close.

When Tang Tian's dribbling was still unstable, their attempt at home failed.

So he thinks it's difficult, because the Knicks are already 15 points behind at halftime, and this game is likely to cost three quarters!

Tang Tian is likely not to play in the fourth quarter, and it is already difficult to score 20+ points in one quarter of a game, and it is even more difficult to come to two quarters.

Tang Tian is not a real Kobe after all.

As the two spoke, players from both sides had returned to the field and the second half of the game resumed.

Neither side of the starters made any adjustments.

Although Hardaway was ravaged by Tang Tian in the first quarter, Woodson still put him in the starting lineup.

It's a trust and that's how he develops his players.

Back in the second half, the Knicks took the lead, and Hardaway came out to pick up Felton's pass and shoot a three-pointer.

Aminu's speed is a bit out of track.

"Huh!"

Hardaway came back in the second half and felt good, and his first three-pointer went into the net.

Filton shouted at Hardaway and high-fived him.

On the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian and Davis gave the ball to Davis after blocking and dismantling, and Davis's layup inside was interfered with by Chandler.

Chandler's defensive skills are still there, and he also grabbed defensive rebounds.

The Knicks advanced to the frontcourt, and Filton gave the ball to Hardaway, giving the latter a chance to play Aminu alone.

Clearly, this was deliberately arranged by Woodson to get Hardaway back to his confidence and form through the attack.

Hardaway continued to change direction, and hit a pull-up jump shot between breakouts.

He came up in the second half and scored five points in a row!

His individual strength is relatively outstanding among rookies, and he has a dislocation advantage against Aminu.

Hardaway was also very excited after scoring the goal, and roared angrily in Tang Tian's direction.

He was blown up by Tang Tian in the first quarter too badly, and the 5-pointer he scored in the second half finally made him regain his confidence, and he also let out a bad breath!

The Pelicans players had visible unhappiness on their faces.

Generally speaking, the emotional catharsis after a goal is wrong, like Mutombo's finger waging.

Because this kind of catharsis to people is a provocation.

This provocation reminded them of Hardaway's pre-match remarks.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and after Holiday signaled his teammates to come, he then knocked the ball to Tang Tian.

The meaning is obvious, hit, hit!

Tang Tian chose to continue fighting.

Hardaway's five-pointer helped the Knicks chase the deficit to 10 points, and the Pelicans need to score right now.

With continuous cross-stepping, Tang Tian broke through from the left side.

After Hardaway found his form on the offensive end, the feeling on the defensive end also came, and this time he was not shaken away, but followed Tang Tian to the inside.

Evans stuck Chandler and wouldn't let him come over to help.

Tang Tian flew directly to the basket.

Hardaway tried to block it, but was bounced off after a physical confrontation in the air.

After all, he is the body of a scoring guard, and he is not on the same level as Tang Tian after gaining weight.

Tang Tian sent the ball into the basket steadily.

He broke the Pelicans' scoring drought in the second half.

The Knicks attacked the front court again, and Hardaway received the ball and then singled Aminu.

No matter what the tactics of basketball are, they end up playing one against one, and Hardaway has an advantage over Aminu, so he naturally has to play more.

Aminu's choice at this time is to prevent sudden drops.

Hardaway accelerates to the inside and flies to the basket.

"Bang!"

Davis came out from the side and gave Hardaway a pegboard hat directly!

The Pelicans' restricted area is not something that can be scored casually!

Evans grabbed a defensive rebound, and the Pelicans played a defensive counterattack.

After Tang Tian received the ball, he forced a shot into the front court against Felton, and also caused the latter's beater to foul.

Steady penalty hit.

He personally returned a 5-0 offensive run to help the Pelicans stretch the deficit to 15 points.

The Knicks scored a goal in the front court by Chandler, and in turn, Davis received the ball and gave it to Tang Tian.

Didn't Hardaway yell at Tang Tian, that means that the first quarter was not enough!

The Knicks are still not in the bag, and Woodson's intentions tonight are clear, the ball may be lost, but Hardaway can't be scrapped.

Tang Tian continued to single-hander Hardaway and made another backward layup.

This time, Chandler made a successful save to help the defense, and Tang Tian's layup was interfered with.

However, Evans struggled to grab the offensive rebound, turned around and found Tang Tian and passed, Tang Tian received the ball and hit a dry pull from close range.

The 8th point in a single quarter!

Hardaway attacked again in the frontcourt, and the dry pull of the emergency stop was missed.

Consecutive defeats on the defensive end can be a big impact on the offensive tempo, let alone a rookie like him.

Looking back, it was still Tang Tian, and the fake shot outside the three-point line deceived him for a three-point foul.

In this section, Hardaway was blown clean by Tang Tian again.

Tang Tian scored another 21 points in a single quarter in this quarter, and by the end of the third quarter, his personal score had come to 51 points!

And the Pelicans once again scored 32-17 in this quarter.

By the end of the third quarter, they had a 30-point lead over the Knicks!

Mike Bryn's expression was a little complicated at this time.

With this point difference, he seems to have guessed correctly that the game will be three quarters.

But he didn't expect that in the three-quarter flower game, Tang Tian had already equaled the scoring record of his career......
