13 to 4!

Under the leadership of Tang Tian, the Pelicans gave the Rockets fighting at home a dismount at the beginning.

And what made the Rockets players even more depressed than getting off the horse was that every time Tang Tian scored, he would attract cheers from the Chinese audience.

Feed! This is the home court of the Rockets!

Harden responded first, and his trademark step-back three-pointer from the front court finally stopped the bleeding for the Rockets.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt again, and McHale reached out directly on the sidelines.

As soon as Tang Tian caught the ball, Beverley came over to wrap it up.

You can't figure it out, do you? Bag clip you!

Tang Tian saw the bag clamp, did not force the shot, and returned the ball to Holiday as soon as possible.

Holiday makes an open three-point shot.

"Bang!"

The ball was not able to go in, and his projection ability was inconsistent.

Harden's change of direction in the frontcourt caused Davis' hitter to continue to the free throw line.

Tang Tian called Holiday and Gordon to his side at this time and said a few words.

Harden hit both free throws and scored five straight points to close the score to 9-13.

"Defend! Defend! ”

Harden's individual performance led to the home atmosphere, with the fans cheering in unison with the DJ leading the way.

Tang Tian continued to catch the ball in the high position, and Beverley's bag also came over.

Tang Tian threw the ball directly to the middle.

Holiday appears in the passing lane!

After Tang Tian's advice, he did not stand outside the three-point line and wait like in the last round, but took the initiative to cut in!

Holiday had an inconsistent shooting, but his breakaway was so lethal that Asik was forced to come out to help with the basket.

Holiday quickly stuffed the ball to Davis under the basket, and Davis pulled up his hands on the spot to dunk!

"Nice fit!"

Brin shouted from the commentary box.

Although Tang Tian did not continue to score, he used his containment to let the Pelicans play a smooth cooperation!

The Pelicans are really different this season from last season!

Harden's layup was fanned out of the court by Davis, who was on the defensive lineup.

The Rockets had no chance to send the ball out of the front court again, and they were directly defended by the Pelicans for 24 seconds!

The Pelicans are young, and after scoring consecutive points, their defensive motivation has become significantly stronger!

Attacking the front court again, Parsons didn't give Tang Tian a chance to catch the ball, Tang Tian ran to the free throw line without the ball, and met Harden's bag when he caught the ball.

After he jumped, he slammed the ball into the air to the baseline.

Gordon cuts in from a three-pointer from the bottom corner!

Gordon jumped up after receiving the ball and scored with both hands!

The Pelicans have a continuous on-court cooperation!

After the dunk, Gordon was a little excited, and Tang Tian came to a strong high-five.

He was drafted by the Clippers and was full of talent, but then suffered an injury and collapsed, and when he arrived with the Pelicans, he did not improve.

This buckle just now is really able to express the depression in the chest!

17 to 9!

In less than half a quarter, the Pelicans scored 17 points!

There are bright performances on both offensive and defensive ends, and this is still the same fish belly last season!

The Pelicans' debut this season really surprised the fans!

The Rockets' frontcourt cooperation, Jones's low position misplaced opportunity to hit Tang Tian, and his small hook hand after turning.

"Bang!"

After Tang Tian jumped, it was a big hot pot!

Don't forget that I'm the best defensive player just because I scored points!

The Rockets sent the ball out on the sideline, and Harden blocked it and looked for Anderson's breakaway.

Holiday came over to help defend at this time, and Harden's return pass to Beverley was predicted by Tang Tian and directly stealed!

Tang Tian and Holiday are two-line fast attack, and Beverley is one defense and two.

After Holiday dribbled through the midfield, he gave the ball to Tang Tian, and Tang Tian returned it to Holiday again, and the two of them played!

Beverly was a little bit of a loser.

When the attack reached the frontcourt, Holiday held the ball and went inside, and Tang Tian stopped at the three-point line.

Beverley followed up with Holiday and Holiday burst into the free throw line and turned to return the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian directly chased after the three-point shot.

"Huh!"

Three points should be called into the net.

The 13th point in a single quarter!

Because he hasn't redeemed his breakthrough and ball control skills, his current dry pull lethality is not so great.

But just like he had thought when he redeemed Maddie's Dry Pull, he didn't just do it!

Chasing three points after a steal, this is his old business with the Spurs!

"Oh, I suddenly feel that something is wrong with what Mr. Benson said."

Brin said laughing in the commentary booth at this time.

Miller turned his head to look at Brin suspiciously, he didn't know which phrase Brin was referring to.

"He said that Tang Hui would be the best helper by AD's side."

Brin continued.

Miller nodded.

"But he doesn't look like he's here to assist AD."

Brin continued.

Miller froze for a moment, then laughed.

Davis is gifted and is the cornerstone of the Pelicans' rebuild, and while he didn't perform well last season, the talent is there, and it's only a matter of time before he plays it.

Recruit Tang Tian, a top 3D player, isn't the Pelicans just thinking of him to assist Davis!

But now this performance, this is really not to assist, but the boss of the Pelicans!

On the contrary, Davis is both a pick-and-roll and a rebounder, and he looks more like a second-in-command.

The game on the field continues.

Williams trusted Tang Tian, and Tang Tian completely lived up to his trust.

Throughout the first quarter, he efficiently scored 17 points, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block, helping the Pelicans build a 13-point lead at 34-21 in the first quarter!

Entering the second quarter, Tang Tian and Davis both went off the court, and Anderson led the team, plus Reeves Jr., Morrow, Aminu and Jason Smith.

On the Rockets' side, Jeremy Lin led the team, plus Garcia, Cosby, Motai Yunas and Carman.

The weaknesses of the Pelicans were exposed.

Their starting lineup is not bad, but the substitutes are obviously weaker.

Especially in terms of organization and coordination, Holiday did a mediocre job in the starting lineup, and Rivers Jr. did even worse in the bench lineup.

The Pelicans are basically Anderson hitting two in the low post, or he and Moreau running around the pick-and-roll for a catch-and-shoot three.

The Rockets' bench is aggressive defensively, and they are not very efficient.

On the contrary, on the Rockets' side, Jeremy Lin had the ball as the sixth man, and the effect was better than last season's starter, and the outside shots in this section helped the Rockets continue to chase points.

When the starters returned, Harden was in great shape, scoring 15 points in the first quarter to help the Rockets trail the Pelicans by six points at halftime, 55-61.

Tang Tian scored 22 points, 6 assists and 3 steals in the half, and 23 points, 3 assists and 3 turnovers against Harden.

Such a performance made the fans at the scene addicted.

"Coach, I'll defend Harden in the second half, let Eric and Judo cooperate with AD to break through."

At halftime, Tang Tian took the initiative to ask Williams.

Harden practiced hard in the offseason with the ball in both hands to break the press, and his strength has improved significantly from last season, so he must press it.

And more importantly, he scored 22 points in the half, and the Rockets will definitely focus on him in the second half.

At this time, it is obviously a better choice to use containment to let Holiday play more with Gordon and Davis.

PS: Thank you for the reward!!
