Chapter 1237 A stable one (5/5!)
And in the next round, he assisted in defense and blocked Butler's breakthrough layup!
The 10% stability improvement is not much, but Davis has performed relatively stably since he studied under Duncan.
To use an analogy, he had fallen to the critical point of his normal performance before, and this 10% bonus brought him up again!
Davis kept taking Garlinari in the interior. When he was in the third low position, Rivers was forced to defend.
And this kind of auxiliary defense has a bigger problem.
Tang Tian, I haven’t taken action since the opening!
Facing his brother Butler, he shook continuously and got rid of it, and stopped and pulled out his hand.
"Swish!"
Basketball entered the frame steadily.
The moment Tang Tian took action, he felt that he could enter the ball with just a move.
Garlinari hit a three-pointer from the outside and finally found some things for himself.
Turning back, Tang Tian and Davis played pick-and-roll, Tang Tian played Gallinari in a misplaced position, and made a breakthrough layup.
Gallinari knew that he could not prevent Tang Tian and took a ruthless move when he committed a foul.
Tang Tian was forced to pull down, but he still sent the ball out steadily before he fell.
The referee whistle sounded, and the ball also rubbed the rebound and shot into the net bag.
2+1!
Tang Tian felt relieved after scoring the goal.
Stability is intangible and invisible, but its actual effect is extremely good.
Tang Tian made a steady hit and the penalty, and the Pelicans led 9-5.
Doncic made a sudden pass in the frontcourt and then gave Gallinari another shot, but this time Gallinari failed to make the shot.
Gasol protects the defensive rebound.
The Pelicans directly played a defensive counterattack. Tang Tian caught the ball and quickly attacked with one-stop, and went to the frontcourt to lean on Butler's basket picking.
Butler defended well.
"Swish!"
But the ball crossed his fingertips, jumped a brief waltz in the air, and fell steadily into the net bag.
11 to 5!
Butler was defended by Tang Tian in frontcourt singles.
The Pelicans turned around and played the position.
Butler used his spiritual attributes and encouraged his teammates with words, and the Clippers played a successful defense.
There was not much time left in the offensive, and the ball finally came to Tang Tian's hands.
Tang Tian got the ball and broke into the free throw line and was double-teamed, and Butler blocked Tang Tian’s breakthrough route on the right in advance.
Time was not enough, and Tang Tian didn't have time to do other technical moves. He leaned to the left and turned back directly to the left.
Gallinari was very fierce and was able to fight in the air.
Tang Tian's body was a little lost, but his shooting gesture did not change and he steadily shot the ball out.
"beep!"
"Swish!"
The referee whistle sounded, and the ball also entered the net with hollow!
Another 2+1!
The fans on the sidelines were restless.
After Garinali landed, she also hugged her head with both hands, with a depressed expression.
This is his second foul in this game.
The game has only been played for less than five minutes.
Moreover, he committed both fouls on Tang Tian, and he has not made it successful yet.
Very angry!
A short whistle came from the sidelines, and Jamie Chel Green came on the court to replace Gallinari.
Tang Tian's extra punishment hit steadily.
14 to 5!
After Davis held back the defense, Tang Tian scored 9 points in a short time, and instantly widened the gap to 9 points!
"The Pelicans are in very good shape tonight, whether it is Ad or Don, the basket is like the ocean in their eyes."
In the commentary seat, Brin expressed a feeling.
Needless to say, Davis was in average some time ago, but his performance was very stable tonight.
As for Tang Tian, he refreshed his understanding again. He originally thought that Tang Tian’s previous performance was excellent enough, but the facts proved that Tang Tian had no upper limit.
During this period, Tang Tian gave him the feeling that no matter how difficult the ball is or how big the confrontation is, he can always send the ball into the basket steadily.
Rivers had already walked from the bench to the sidelines, and he shouted at the players on the field from time to time, reminding them of their defensive position.
He is waiting for Tang Tian's performance to decline.
But it was a pity that he didn't wait until the end of this festival.
Tang Tian’s performance tonight was a steady match.
In this quarter, he faced Butler's defense and scored 22 points in a single quarter.
Under his leadership, the Pelicans scored 38 points in a single quarter and ended the quarter with a 37-23 lead.
In the second quarter, the substitute connection section, both sides are the main players playing substitutes.
On the Clippers, Louis Williams and Bradley on the outside, Shamet and Garlinari on the front line, and center Thomas Bryant.
On the Pelicans, Alexander and Ding Yanyuhang from the outside, Kuzma and Siakam from the front line, and center Harrell from the center.
Rivers stood on the sidelines at the beginning of the second quarter.
Williams played together with Garlinari in this period, and he obviously wanted the Clippers to catch up with the score in this period.
On paper, the Clippers have an advantage in substitutes.
His ideas have indeed come true.
When the Clippers came back in the second quarter, Williams showed his personal strength, surpassing Alexander and Harrell, and making a quick layup.
Siakam's frontcourt layup was interfered by Bryant, but Bryant took the defensive rebound, and the Clippers directly played a defensive counterattack.
It was Williams who accelerated to get rid of Alexander, and his layup from the frontcourt also caused Ding Yanyuhang's foul!
Williams roared after scoring, then waved his hands to the audience to signal the fans to cheer.
The cheers at the scene were wave after wave.
Williams' outstanding scoring ability has been familiar to Los Angeles fans since last season.
By this season, although the team selected Doncic and traded Butler, Williams, as the sixth man, averaged nearly 19 points per game.
If he continues to play at this pace, he will likely be ranked the best sixth man again.
"A street in Luocheng, ask who is the father."
Fans even use such words to describe Williams' outstanding performance.
Stevens reacted quickly, turned around and called Brogden, asking him to come on the field to replace Ding Yanyuhang.
Williams made a steadily free throw.
He personally launched a 5-0 offensive, narrowing the gap to 9 points.
“defense!defense!”
The fans at the scene cheered for the team in unison, and the Clippers were about to start.
Rivers also continued to shout at the players on the sidelines.
The Pelicans' substitute lineup has the core offensive point of Siakam, who defends him and then follows Brogden who has just been replaced, and basically defends him.
His strategy is indeed effective. Siakam and Brogden were focused on the defense, and the Pelicans failed to make two consecutive tactics.
Alexander was the one who controlled the ball. He finally asked Harrell to play a simple pick-and-roll cooperation and took the ball into it.
Bryant sticks very hard and has a fierce defense.
He didn't have to be sent away by the Pelicans for the deal last summer, but the Pelicans were added to the company in order to get Alexander.
In other words, the Pelicans feel that Alexander is more valuable for training than him.
So he is trying hard to face the Pelicans, especially Alexander.
The two men fought to the basket, and Alexander made a quick stop.
Bryant seized the opportunity and tried hard to interfere, and the two of them had a confrontation in the air.
At this moment, Alexander felt that his attack in the air was much more stable than usual.
He adjusted the small throws at close range.
The ball flew over Bryant's fingertips and headed towards the basket.
"Swish!"
A crisp sound.
Chapter completed!
