Chapter 767: This Stool Is a Little Hot (Fourth Update!) )
Tang Tian didn't expect Holt to sit down, but when he saw Holt sit down and motioned to his assistant to pour coffee, he had probably guessed what Holt was thinking.
I'm looking for a venue.
Yes.
Watching a game alone is actually boring, and it is even more interesting to have someone sitting next to you.
As for whether it would be embarrassing, this kind of thing was not in Tang Tian's mind at all.
Only Holt would care so much about this game, he didn't play, and the Spurs won't really mean anything.
Moreover, the Pelicans' competitive state tonight will not necessarily lose.
The assistant brought coffee to Holt, and Holt watched the game while drinking it, and the posture was about to finish the game here.
The salesman on the other side of the theater looked this way with curiosity in his eyes.
An NBA superstar, an NBA team owner.
This is not a VIP box, but the TV in this hall tonight can be regarded as enjoying the VIP service.
Holt's brow furrowed as he had just started drinking his coffee.
After the start of the second quarter, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Holiday was substituted a minute before the end of the first quarter and was substituted at the start of the second quarter.
Partnering him in the backcourt at this time was sophomore Joe Harris.
Harris has rarely played with the Cavaliers, and even since he arrives with the Pelicans, his defense, like Morrow, falls short of the team's requirements.
But Morrow wasn't in good shape, and Stevens had to use him, and it was his first appearance with the Pelicans.
And this is such a person, but during this period of time, he has become a wonder soldier on the field.
He hit two three-pointers from the outside in a minute, narrowing the gap to less than five in one minute.
Harris's outburst came so suddenly that Popovich's reaction didn't keep up.
Holt made a painful sound on the side, and Tang Tian turned his head to see his mouth blowing out quickly.
It seems that this coffee is a bit hot.
Holt turned his head and saw Tang Tian looking at him, and coughed dryly twice, as if nothing had happened.
Tang Tian didn't laugh at this moment.
He doesn't care if he wins or loses the game, but it seems that Holt cares.
If the Pelicans win, the scene will be exciting.
Popovich called a timeout to bring Leonard on the court, and Stevens on the Pelicans' side also brought Davis back on the court.
Leonard has played well this season and is now fifth in the MVP rankings, behind Donsky, Curry, James and Harden.
He came up very well, directly attacking Aminu and scoring two points to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.
A smile appeared on Holt's face, a large part of the reason why he was willing to let Tang Tian go in the first place was because of Leonard.
The better Leonard plays now, the better he has a vision, and the happier he is.
However, in the next round, Davis singled Dior in the low post and turned around to score two points.
Harris's two three-pointers weren't just six-pointers, he kept the Spurs from the outside and gave Davis plenty of room to play.
And Davis is also very good, continuing the first quarter, or this season's consistent low-post scoring ability, helping the Pelicans continue to bite the score.
With a 10-point lead in the first quarter, Holt thought that Tang Tian couldn't play, and the Spurs would be able to expand their advantage at halftime and even win the game early.
But just like in the past two rounds, the situation on the field between the two sides is extremely anxious.
At halftime, the Spurs had a three-point lead over the Pelicans at 52-49.
The game entered the half-time break, and the atmosphere in the hall became very delicate.
Originally, Tang Tian was going to go to the locker room to cheer for the players in the middle of the game, but Holt made him watch the game a lot more fun here, and he didn't plan to go.
Holt is even worse, if he leaves at this time, Tang Tian still thinks he is afraid, so it is absolutely impossible for him to leave before Tang Tian.
So, Tang Tian went to the cinema to ask for a Coke, Holt also refilled a cup of coffee, and the two of them continued to sit in the hall like this.
Fortunately, the half-time break was not too long, and the second half of the game resumed quickly.
The outstanding performance of the Pelicans in the first half made Tang Tian still have some expectations for the second half.
When the game really started, his expectation really appeared, and it was super doubled.
Coming back in the second half, Holiday felt hot after scoring two goals, and how to shoot from the outside.
For a team to become stronger, someone must sacrifice the ball and status to maximize the efficiency of the game.
Holiday was also an All-Star when he was with the 76ers, but after coming to the Pelicans, he gradually switched from a core to a role player because of his ability.
Just like Tang Tian knew, he played without complaints, conscientious, didn't score much, but did a good job defensively.
While the stats aren't very impressive, they're an integral part of the Pelicans' winning streak.
Now that Tang Tian is absent, he has transitioned from a role player back to a core stand-up.
Like Harris in the first half, Holiday kept the Spurs' perimeter defense at bay with his excellent touch on the perimeter, and Davis continued to play on the inside.
And the Spurs didn't feel good in this quarter.
Under the advantage of the other, the Pelicans actually beat the Spurs 32-21 in this quarter, and in turn led the Spurs by 8 points!
This section of the game was unexpected, Tang Tian was very happy, and Holt next door was a little on pins and needles.
He kept moving his ass to release his uneasiness.
The assistant on the side was terrified, and he was afraid that Holt would have another heart attack.
Tang Tian noticed Holt's move and shook his head helplessly.
It seems that not only this coffee is hot, but this stool is also a bit hot!
Why bother, people who are so old, just find a reason to go to the toilet.
Seeing Tang Tian's actions, Holt snorted coldly, and then turned his gaze back to the TV.
He didn't believe the Spurs would lose like this, and Popovich's ability was well known to him.
Although the relationship between the two has deteriorated a lot in the past two years, which has made his good opinion of Popovich much lower, Popovich's ability is undeniable.
And it's only 8 points, which is really not much.
Popovich was really capable, he put Leonard on the court early in the fourth quarter and started to play a success rate.
The Pelicans are without Ariza and Tang Tian, and the bench strength is indeed weak.
In the second quarter, it was because of Harris's strange soldiers, but Harris was still very immature after all, and he failed to hit two shots in this quarter.
The Spurs also played steadily, closing the score little by little.
By the time there were about 8 minutes left before the end of the game, and both sides had switched back to their main players one after another, the Spurs had already tied the score.
A game that was expected to be one-sided did not happen, and after more than three quarters of battle, the two sides entered the final eight minutes of the tiebreaker.
