And in retrospect, they also defended Davis' basket singles with excellent defensive rotations.

After the opening game, the Jazz showed their strength.

The fans at the scene were also a little worried at this time.

The Pelicans' rare opening did not focus on Tang Tian, which shows that injuries still have an impact on Tang Tian.

Although Tang Tian's injury is very morale-boosting, it is also a big surprise for fans.

But if you don't play properly, and with the risk of increasing injuries, the team's approach is not worth the cost.

After all, it's just a regular season.

Just when the fans were thinking so, Tang Tian successfully stole Hill's pass on the defensive end, and rushed out of the three-point line for the first time!

He was fast, and in the incredible eyes of the fans, he shook off Hayward and Hood one after another, and flew to the basket to score two points.

The speed of the fast attack, the on-site commentators who watched it were stunned.

This...... Are you sure it's back cramps?

The Jazz's frontcourt tactical coordination didn't work, and Hayward didn't score the ball in the final single Ariza.

The ball bounced off the front of the basket, and Tang Tian turned around and stuck Hood, who was about to rush the board, and grabbed the defensive rebound.

The two had physical contact in the process of this card position, and the fans at the scene sweated for Tang Tian.

However, they were also relieved to see Tang Tian turn around and advance directly after winning the rebound.

The Pelicans' fast break did not play a turn, and Tang Tian did not give the ball to Davis this time, but held the ball and made tactical gestures to hit directly.

A trademark strong pass to the bottom corner of Ariza's hand.

"Huh!"

Ariza had a good hand tonight, hitting the Pelicans' first three-pointer of the game.

5 to 2.

Although the Jazz came out on top, the Pelicans played a wave of 5-0 in turn and quickly took the initiative on the court.

And the person who made all this happen was Tang Tian, Tang Tian who fought with injuries.

Even within two minutes of the opening game, his technical stats table was already filled.

2 points, 1 board, 1 assist, 1 steal.

Just got a quadruple-double in the last game, is this the rhythm that is going to follow?

But you're hurt!

The Jazz's frontcourt had a chance, but Hood couldn't get the ball in.

The new penalty scale has made the Jazz's defense tougher than before, and they are among the top five in the league in points conceded per game.

But the team's biggest problem is scoring, and Hayward barely made it to the All-Star in the West, let alone the scoring ability of others.

The Pelicans' frontcourt position, Tang Tian, broke through the bag and gave the ball to Davis, who also opened the scoring with a mid-range jumper.

Favors' catch-and-go layup in the front court caused Davis' hitter, but unfortunately he missed both free throws.

Looking back, Tang Tian assisted Davis to score another goal.

The two teams played for about five minutes in the opening game, and the score on the court was 9-2, and the Pelicans had completely suppressed the Jazz in the game.

At this time, Jazz head coach Snyder was given a shot.

His face was extremely ugly, and if he had a knife in his hand now, he felt like he could kill people in minutes.

The Pelicans played championship strength after the opening, but more importantly, Tang Tian didn't seem to have any injuries at all!

The Pelicans shook him with a hard shot!

Hayward scored two points on a breakaway layup in the frontcourt, and he stepped up at the crucial moment.

But looking back, Tang Tian pulled out a three-point answer ball on the outside line!

Snyder was helpless.

Although he reacted quickly enough, the Jazz's temporary tactical adjustments were certainly not as well as carefully arranged.

He was completely fooled by the Pelicans.

The Jazz team played in the frontcourt, and it was Tang Tian again, who stole Favors' return pass and threw it directly to Holiday in the backcourt.

Holiday scored two more points on a fast-break layup.

14-4, less than half a quarter into the opening quarter, the Pelicans already had a double-digit lead.

Snyder stretched out his hand and called a timeout, he didn't need to lift a knife, his eyes could kill.

"Gordon, you beat Don."

Paused the tactical deployment, and Snyder made a decision.

The team doctors in the NBA are all professional, and he doesn't believe that Tang Tian can play as well as usual with an injury.

And he also watched the last Pelicans and Rockets game.

He felt that the Rockets' tactics were fine, and the problem was that he gave up the single against Tang Tian after playing for a few minutes.

Now that the situation of the team is unfavorable, he is also ready to sacrifice this tactic, and Tang Tian is injured, which will make his tactics twice as effective with half the effort.

After the pause, the Jazz's tactics changed, and they did not play tactical cooperation again, but after the wings were pulled apart, they directly let Hayward single Tang Tian.

Tang Tian's counterpoint is Hood, in other words, this is still a counterpoint that he actively found after blocking and dismantling.

The fans at the scene couldn't help but let out a burst of heckling.

Tang Tian's defense, the general opponent is to avoid playing, and the three-time best defensive player is not a decoration.

In the last game, Harden was the first iron, and the statistics after the whole game and Tang Tian were matched with 2 of 11 shots.

Hayward, or Snyder, doesn't believe in evil!

However, some fans are worried about Tang Tian, after all, Tang Tian is fighting with an injury tonight, although he has contributed consecutive steals before, but they are all co-defense, and it is still unknown how much strength this one-on-one defense can play.

Hayward holds the ball, takes a tentative step, and then accelerates from the right side to the basket.

Compared to Harden, Hayward's offensive skills with the ball are much worse, but he likes to fight, which is why Snyder dares to do so.

Tang Tian felt a faint pain in his back after being continuously confronted, and Snyder's way of taking advantage of the danger of others was a bit unacceptable.

"Smack!"

However, against the basket, Tang Tian still seized the opportunity to make a quick shot, and successfully cut the ball down at the moment when Hayward picked up the ball!

Another steal!

In the cheers of the fans at the scene, Tang Tian threw the ball to Holiday .

Holiday turned into the king of cakes and scored two more points in the fast-break frontcourt!

Snyder's eyes widened in disbelief, Tang Tian actually defended Hayward, and even made a steal!

He did not believe in evil and stretched out his hand to signal the tactics to continue.

Hayward went to the front court to continue to play with the ball.

This time he was a little more guarded, and after bursting to the free throw line, he opted for a pull-up jumper.

However, his shooting action was a little slow, and the moment he shot, Tang Tian seized the opportunity to slap the ball.

The basketball scramble went out of the sideline, although this time the ball was not directly snatched, and the referee also signaled that it was the ball in the front court, but his offense was destroyed again!

After two consecutive attacks failed, his mood was a little frustrated.

Tang Tian was also glad that the Jazz only had Hayward at this time, otherwise with his physical condition after he came to the court with an injury, it would be difficult to defend against a player of Harden's level.

After all, this passive skill only eliminates the impact of the injury, not directly makes the injury go away.

The Jazz sent the ball out on the sideline, and Hayward continued to single Tang Tian, this time he chose to hit hard inside with his back.

But Tang Tian sank his center of gravity, he couldn't stand it at all, and when he turned around and leaned back, he also gave him huge pressure.

He turned around and made a move...... Didn't touch the box.

Three do not stick!

The scene exploded instantly! Whistles and cheers!

"Don ...... Really hurt? ”

Don't talk about Snyder at this time, after Tang Tian attacked Hayward three times in a row, even the on-site commentator couldn't help but ask such questions.
