Tang Tian also laughed on the bench.

Stephenson and McGee are similar, but for completely different reasons.

McGee is inattention-deficient, but Stephenson is more of a play-and-play on the court.

Sometimes it's creative, and sometimes it's stupid.

But Stevens got it right, reducing his ball handling, hiding his stupid side and letting him play the creative side.

But Stephenson, even off the bench, wasn't the focus of the Pelicans on the court.

With Bojan in the starting line-up, Dinwiddie is now the team's sixth man.

As a disciple of Nash, he also did a good job, not only controlling the situation well, but also using his ability to break through and score from time to time.

After the bench transition, the Rockets did not close the score as they did last time, and the margin on the court was still 13 points.

When this substitute transition section went back, Tang Tian came back, and the game entered the mode of the first quarter again.

It can't be prevented with or without a clip.

At halftime, the Pelicans led the Rockets 60-42.

Brin and Miller were in the commentary seat, and Tang Tian was about to blow Tang Tian into the sky.

The Rockets are on a hot streak after the All-Star break, and they have won against even more valuable opponents than the Pelicans.

Like they said at the beginning, it was going to be a close game.

But Tang Tian changed the game alone.

16 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists in the half.

Tang Tian had fewer shots than in the previous games, but the entire Pelicans team was activated.

In the dressing room at half-time, D'Antoni and Bouzderrick frowned.

In the last game, it was Cousins' temper that caused them to lose the game, and they were unwilling to lose.

But this time, they had nothing to do with Tang Tian at all.

The defensive end was randomly inserted, and the offensive end was also brought out of shape.

And what worries them more than losing this game is that if the Rockets are aiming to win a championship, the Pelicans will definitely be a hurdle for them to overcome.

If they can't solve Tang Tian's defensive problems now, they will still be ravaged like this in the playoffs.

As we discussed, there was a knock on the door to the coach's office and Paul walked in.

"Let me defend Don."

Paul came in and asked D'Antoni for help.

When Paul was on the Clippers, he used to defend Durant alone.

Although the height difference is large, the offensive efficiency of Durant, who he uses his defensive skills, is not very efficient.

The Rockets are definitely better defensively on the wing now than the Clippers at that time, but the result is just as unstoppable as the Clippers.

D'Antoni nodded, it was meaningless to wrap it in front of Tang Tian's pass, and he couldn't prevent it alone, and Paul was the last resort.

Paul left after exchanging details with D'Antoni.

"If Chris doesn't work either, the only way we can do it is to attrition."

After Paul left, Bouzdrick spoke to D'Antoni.

No matter how awesome the superstar physical fitness is, it is also a problem, and it is the last resort to choose consumption.

D'Antoni nodded in agreement.

It's just that Tang Tian's defensive strength is also very strong, and the Pelicans are not the Pelicans team of two years ago, and Tang Tian is not the only one who is strong.

If Tang Tian can't score and is beaten by the rest of the Pelicans, then the game may be over in three quarters.

So he's still expecting Paul's defense to work.

Coming back in the second half, the Pelicans took the lead.

Tang Tian held the ball in the front court, and then found that his defender became Paul.

1.83 meters to defend 2.03 meters, a height difference of 20 centimeters, so Paul can defend it like this.

After Paul faced Tang Tian, he pressed the defense and made all kinds of small moves.

This is also his defensive characteristic, and it was very difficult for Durant, who was so defensive in the first place.

His purpose is also very clear, he doesn't want to give Tang Tian the offensive space of three threats, or force Tang Tian to be forced to dribble.

It's smart.

But Tang Tian didn't intend to fight with him like this at all, he turned his back directly and started to hit Paul from outside the three-point line.

Paul is a guard after all, and no matter how many small actions he makes, he is afraid of this kind of hard chisel, and he is pushed to the free throw line like a bulldozer by Tang Tian.

Cousins saw that the assistant defense came in, but Tang Tian turned around and passed the ball with his hand, and the ball had already flown into the hands of Jokic on the outside.

Jokic catches the ball and hits an outside shot.

If this was the first game after the All-Star break, he wouldn't have been able to make that decisive shot.

But after so many games, he's adapted.

The more decisive the shot, the higher the hit rate.

Jokic's three-point shot pushed Tang's personal assist count to 13, and the Pelicans stretched the margin to 21 points.

There was a stirring at the scene, and the game had been spent for three quarters.

Paul spoke patiently to Cousins at this time, telling him not to wrap up.

Cousins was not happy, but accepted it.

In the next wave of the Rockets' offense, Harden showed his individual ability and hit a signature step-back three-pointer in the face of Holiday defense to chase the deficit back to 18 points.

In the next round, Tang Tian continued to chisel Paul in the front court, and Paul was pushed into the penalty area and had no power to parry, so he could only choose to foul.

Tang Tian is not Durant, his confrontation and playing style are much harder than Durant, and Paul's defensive style is ineffective against him.

Tang Tian walked to the free throw line and steadily hit both free throws, stretching the difference back to 20 points.

Harden scored a breakaway layup, and he felt more in the second half than in the first.

Turning around, Tang Tian continued to hit Paul, Paul tried to steal, and Tang Tian turned around and leaned back to make a move.

One round can't say anything, two rounds may be luck, but after three rounds in a row, D'Antoni already knows that Paul can't guard against Tang Tian.

Although it was very reluctant, the only option left for Team Rocket was the last one.

D'Antoni made tactical gestures on the sidelines, and the Rockets began to use Harden to play Donkey.

Harden has a good hand in this section, which is a positive sign for the Rockets.

But Harden was prevented in the first round of playing Tang Tian.

Facts have proved Tang Tian's defensive ability, he wants to defend, he is the best defensive player in the league.

The Rockets insisted on playing Tang Tian on the offensive end, and after Tang Tian put his physical strength into the defensive end, the offensive end was more about organization.

His scoring hasn't gone up much, but his assists have been rising.

He always finds and seizes the fleeting opportunity on the pitch to get the ball into the hands of his team-mate who has the best chance of scoring.

Just like Nash when he had his own system.

While there were times when the pass was a little off, and teammates missed some chances after receiving the ball, the overall feeling was that the Pelicans were playing easier than ever.

At the end of the third quarter, the Rockets' strategy didn't work at all.

The Rockets were inefficient in beating Tang Tian on the offensive end, and Tang Tian was not blocked by the rest of the Pelicans on the defensive end, and they were nearly 30 points behind at the end of the third quarter.

The core of Bouzdrick's suggestion was attrition, but it didn't make sense to play three quarters because the fourth quarter became complete garbage time.

And Tang Tian angrily sent 8 assists in this quarter, and he got 21 points, 20 assists, 5 boards and 3 steals in the third quarter......
