The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The fans at the scene were in an uproar.

Tang Tian's magical three-pointer in the last game, and Carter's magic weapon in this game, the Pelicans, without Davis, suppressed Jandoo's Lakers!

Pelicans bench, the players are also celebrating.

Especially Carter, his teammates hugged and yelled at him.

If he missed the last shot, Durant's three-pointer would be tied, and the two sides would have to play overtime.

At the press conference after the game, Stevens brought Tang Tian and Carter to attend.

"You said that Vince is 24 years old, I believe it, and now I even expect him to show a dunk in the game."

Tang Tian praised Carter without hesitation.

Carter's performance today really shocked him a bit. You must know that it is a miracle in itself to be able to play in the NBA at the age of 42, let alone play so well.

The last time he felt this way was Scola in the 2019 World Cup in history. At the age of 39, he led Argentina to the World Cup final as the core of the team.

But Carter was 3 years older than him.

"He was our best player tonight."

Stevens is even more exaggerated.

After hearing this, Carter glanced at Stevens in surprise, then pointed at Tang Tian.

He was considered a surprise player at most, and the basis for winning was still Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian passed the last ball.

"I won't say Tang, because less than 50 points is just a mediocre performance for him."

However, what Stevens said next made not only Carter, but also all the reporters in the audience laugh.

Stevens is now bragging about Tang Tian with foreshadowing.

With a big score of 2 to 1, the next game is still at home. The situation is very good for the Pelicans.

Two days later, the fourth game between the two teams continued at the New Orleans Arena.

With the experience of the previous game, Vogel obviously has a defensive target against Carter, while the Pelicans still haven't opened other points.

Although Tang Tian scored 50+ points, the stable performance of James and Durant made the Lakers have the last laugh.

The two scored 80 points together, showing the best performance in the most critical game.

The victory of this game is also very important to them.

If they lose this game again, they will fall behind 1 to 3 in the big score, and every subsequent game will be a match point for the Pelicans, and the psychological pressure will become great.

After winning this game, they not only equalized the big score, but also regained the home court advantage.

In the next Tianwangshan they will play at home, and they will have a greater chance of winning than the Pelicans.

The two teams played fiercely and attracted unprecedented attention.

Every time a game is played, the ratings are refreshed.

And the next Tianwangshan, the game to decide who gets the match point, is the focus of the focus.

The day before the Tianwangshan battle, the Pelicans set off for Los Angeles again.

Compared with after the third game, the mood of the players has obviously dropped.

Tang Tian averaged nearly 50 points per game in the series, and Carter also played a role as a surprise player.

Without Davis, and other players have not found the outside touch, Tianwangshan will be very difficult for them.

Tang Tian noticed the emotions of the players, and chatted with Stevens alone for a while after the training.

"You want to make a new entrance ceremony?"

After listening to what Tang Tian said, Stevens was full of surprises, especially the new way Tang Tian said was too weird.

Tang Tian nodded seriously.

"Okay, I'll talk about it."

Seeing that Tang Tian was serious, Stevens didn't say much.

Whatever Tang Tian said was what he said.

On the day of the game, the players arrived at the arena one after another.

Stevens also came to the locker room early to arrange the night's tactics.

After finishing the arrangement, he did not leave immediately, but announced something.

The team will have a special appearance ceremony tonight.

The expressions of the team members after listening to it were more exciting than that of Stevens, especially Parker, who was completely disturbed.

But the players finally accepted, after all, this is what Stevens asked for.

For them, there is not much loss.

On the contrary, Kuzma and Brogdon looked very excited after listening.

That night, the battle between the Pelicans and the Lakers in the Tianwangshan series was played at the Staples Center.

With half an hour left before the start of the game, players from both sides entered the arena one after another.

Not long after the warm-up ended, the opening ceremony took place on the spot.

The Pelicans took the lead as the visiting team.

The lights at the scene have not changed. Under the bright light, the fans at the scene found that the Pelicans are doing a very special appearance ceremony.

The substitutes stood on both sides, and the starters appeared one by one.

Gasol, Siakam, Brogdon, Carter.

There is nothing strange about this, what is strange is that after they came out, they stood in two rows very close to each other, with their hands crossed in front of the stalls and their heads bowed.

It looked like she was being baptized!

Then, under the stunned eyes of everyone, Tang Tian finally stood up from the bench, then stretched out his hands, and touched from the front of the queue all the way to the back.

Two steps at a time, and in the blink of an eye, he had touched all 12 heads on the activation list!

Mohawks, short hair, curly hair, and even bald heads.

After touching it, various feelings are different.

Of course, in the end, Tang Tian touched himself and ended the opening ceremony.

There was already an uproar at the scene.

This opening ceremony is truly unprecedented!

They knew that Tang Tian had a penchant for touching his head, but he used this penchant for the opening ceremony.

Apart from saying 666 to the Pelicans, they have no other response.

"Are they performing some sort of ritual?"

Even the Big Three of TNT in the commentary booth were amused.

"They probably need some kind of confidence."

Kenny Smith thought of the only possible explanation.

"Whatever that is, I'm sure it will work."

O'Neill's brainless bragging made Barkley and Smith laugh even more.

If such an appearance ceremony can really bring anything to the Pelicans, I believe that after the game, this will definitely attract a storm of public opinion.

The first thousand and 280 chapters of the old Carter dunk!

At the end of the opening ceremony, the reaction of the Pelicans players was mixed.

Most players such as Green and Gasol did not react much.

After all, for them, this is just an opening ceremony.

Brogdon and Kuzma looked as excited as they did in the locker room.

They knew and firmly believed that Tang Tian had oriental magic.

Parker's expression was a bit bitter.

He hid and touched his head all his life, but he didn't expect to be forced to do it in the end.

He is so difficult!

After the Pelicans, the starters of the Lakers also appeared one after another.

It is still the same starting lineup as the previous four games.

Vogel is confident in this starter.

The Los Angeles fans at the scene also expressed their confidence with super high decibel volume.

Tianwangshan, at home, they are determined to win!

Lopez dialed the ball back to the Lakers half, officially kicking off the game.

This game also broke the ratings record at the beginning, as predicted before.

A game that attracts worldwide attention.

The Lakers started the pick and roll with Jandoo.

Such a tactical arrangement also shows Vogel's determination to win tonight.

However, in the first tactical pick-and-roll, Durant, who received the ball, was defended by Siakam, and he didn't even get a shot.

The Pelicans started the game with a defensive intensity that was different from the past few games.

After Durant signaled to pull away, he chose to singles Siakam.

Siakam's defense is perfect, but Durant's personal ability is really strong, he just used a big loop to get rid of Siakam for a layup.

But at the moment of his shot, Gasol actually helped defend in place again, directly giving him interference and confrontation.

His shot smashed out of the frame, and the rebound was also taken by Gasol.

Amidst the restlessness of the fans at the scene, the Lakers' first attack at the opening came back without success!

And before the restlessness fell, the Pelicans directly launched a defensive counterattack.

Tang Tian made a fast break with the ball, hit the three-second zone in the frontcourt and directly threw a high ball, and then pushed Wade in front of him out of the baseline.

Siakam soared into the air, received Tang Tian's pass and dunked dunks with both hands!

The scene was full of commotion.

Defending Jandoo's pick-and-roll, fast-break lob dunks, and the Pelicans' attack and defense after the opening gave them a big blow!

Vogel also felt that the Pelicans were different tonight, and got up and went to the sidelines to remind the players loudly.

James broke through with the ball in the frontcourt, Gasol assisted in the defense, and James scored the ball to Lopez at the top of the arc.

Just as Lopez was about to make a shot, Carter on the weak side had already assisted in the rotation.

The opportunity appeared for a moment and then disappeared.

The defense of the Pelicans tonight is really different from the past.

Durant came over to catch the ball, and time was running out. He tried to shake off Tang Tian but failed, and Tang Tian defended against his last shot.

The scene was restless.

In the past four games, the Lakers played very well at the beginning, and the two losses were also duels and did not play in the end.

But after the start tonight, they missed consecutive attacks!

This is by no means good news!

Looking back at the positional battle, Tang Tian broke through with the ball, and the Lakers shrank their wings to defend.

Their defensive strategy is still the same as in the past few games.
