Paul was forced to foul Tang Tian.

Tang Tian was sent to the free throw line and got two free throw attempts.

If he goes in, he'll kill the game outright.

“MVP！ MVP！ ”

When Tang Tian made a free throw, the shouts of MVP rang out on the scene.

The Pelicans are building momentum for Tang Tian's MVP, and New Orleans fans know it.

Tang Tian has scored 21 points and 8 assists tonight, not the most points, and even the overall statistics are not the best in the team.

But he really played a central role, calm in the midst of conflicts, guided Davis to grow, and remained solid in key moments.

He deserved the cheers.

Tang Tian hit two free throws to the cheers of the MVP, completely erasing the Clippers' hope of winning.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Clippers 105-98 at home to extend the overall score of the series to 2-1.

Davis exploded, contributing 30 points, 15 rebounds and 7 blocks, completely occupying the top in the confrontation with Griffin, who only had 16 points and 8 rebounds.

Tang Tian had 23 points, 4 boards, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, Gordon 14 points, Holiday 11 points and 7 assists, Anderson 9 points, Evans 1 point and 10 boards.

For the Clippers, Paul had 28 points and nine assists, and Crawford had 19 points.

After the game, the pelicans fans cheered for a long time.

After such a game full of away whistles and conflicts, the feeling of winning can really be indescribable.

And more importantly, Davis was really angry after being crossed!

It's impressive to be able to play like this when you're weaker than Griffin.

In contrast, the Clippers caused their own conflict and ended up losing the game, which was really a loss and a loss.

After the game, Davis spoke to reporters on the sidelines.

When asked what caused tonight's outbreak, Davis was quite honest.

"It was Don, he told me how to deal with this conflict, he guided me to respond to the opponent with my performance on the court, and he helped me grow."

Davis had a smile on his face as he spoke, and those words were truly from the bottom of his heart.

He has hair and a beard now, which is much more pleasing to the eye than before, and really cute.

Coupled with that serious and simple expression, the reporters were amused by it.

"You made seven blocks tonight, which is your playoff game, oh yes, your career high, how do you feel?"

The reporter then asked.

"Yes."

Davis said and held out his hand, his hand a little red.

"To be honest, my hand is a little bit sore now, I've not only blocked seven times, I've been whistled for fouls, but those are on the ball as well."

The reporter really laughed now.

Davis, this is really cute!

Tang Tian was not far behind him at this time, and he burst out laughing when he heard Davis's answer.

He suddenly felt more and more that Davis had the potential to be a Spurs player!

Or rather, this guy looks a little bit like Duncan no matter how he looks at it.

After Davis's interview ended, he followed Tang Tian back to the locker room.

When he arrived in the locker room, his teammates inevitably splashed water and celebrated on him.

It wasn't just the stats that Davis won tonight, he beat Griffin head-on, who was better than him, and that was all that mattered.

After celebrating with his teammates, Davis sat on the bench with a smile and wiped the water from his hair with a towel.

It was probably the most comfortable time he got wet.

At this moment, Tang Tian walked over and touched his head directly.

Davis had been avoiding him before, and this time he finally got his chance to sit down.

To be honest, he was touched too much by Duncan when he was with the Spurs, and after seeing Davis have Duncan's shadow on him, it was not appropriate for him not to touch it.

He couldn't touch Duncan's back, and it's not bad to touch Duncan's shadow!

Davis ducked and ran to the shower with a towel.

He remembered Gordon's reminder that he didn't want to be as bald as Ginobili in the future!

Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.

He remembered that when Duncan touched himself before, this kind of play was not something he could hide from if he wanted to.

The playoffs are in full swing, and that's when the league's first awards come out.

The first to be announced are the best head coach, best general manager and best defensive player.

Several of the candidates for Manager of the Year are strong this year.

Popovich still led the team to 60 wins after losing Tang Tian, and he really played system basketball to the extreme this season.

Monty Williams took the Pelicans from 27 wins to 52 wins, the most in the league with a 25-game deficit.

The Bulls' Thibodeau is also very competitive, and after losing Rose, Thibodeau still leads the Bulls to third place in the East.

The final ballot was announced, and Popovich was voted the best coach with a total score of 380 points, narrowly beating Williams with 339 points.

This is also the third time in four years that he has been named the best manager, and no one else can compare it.

Williams' defeat was a bit regrettable, but Popovich deserved it.

You must know that what he lost this season was the FMVP of last season's Finals, and he also won the first record in the league this season.

That's probably what he can do.

The Pelicans' improved record has more to do with the team's recruitment, and Williams' loss to Popovich is not unjust.

However, Pelican fans are not too disappointed, because in the options to be announced later, the Pelicans have a double shot.

In the race for the best general manager, Demps defeated the Spurs' Buford and successfully won the honor of best general manager.

The Pelicans' improvement this season is really due to Temples.

The addition of Tang Tian and Holiday , and even the later reinforcements of Evans, Whiteside and Cole, are all strong boosts for the team.

Of course, the role played by Tang Tian behind the scenes was only known to Demps himself.

This is by no means a bad thing for Tang Tian, and Demps, who has won the honor, will only rely more on Tang Tian.

After Tang Tian saw these two news, he sent congratulations to Popovich and Demps one after another.

"Old man, if you're going to drink, call me anytime in the offseason."

Tang Tian and Popovich, even if they are not on the same team, are still friends who have forgotten their years.

And shortly after he texted, the league followed suit by announcing the attribution of the best defensive player.

Tang Tian, with 31% of the votes, defeated Noah with 25% of the votes, and won this honor for the second year in a row.

He also became the first non-centre-forward player since Dennis Rodman (1989-90 and 1990-91) to win the award.

And that's not all, the bigger significance is that he won the scoring title and also won the best defensive player.

This one is awesome.

In the long history of the NBA, there is only one person who has won this honor at the same time in one season.

That's right, that person is Michael Jordan, the "God of Basketball".

In the 87~88 season, Jordan won the regular season MVP + All-Star Game MVP + scoring king + steal king + best defensive player in one go......

And now, Tang Tian has won the All-Star Game MVP + scoring champion + best defensive player.

His single-season honor is the second person after Jordan.

ps: I will go back to my home from my mother-in-law's house today, and I will stay at home for four or five days, and the update time may not be so stable, but everyone can rest assured that the update will be guaranteed! We hope you will continue to support us!
