Chapter 681 The second single-quarter scoring record in history
Popovich reached out and called for a pause.
Tang Tian’s touch was so hot that it could no longer be solved simply by adjusting the defense. He had to ask a timeout to interrupt.
After the timeout, the Spurs replaced all the main players in advance.
Popovich didn't dare to be arrogant at this time.
The Pelicans also replaced Davis and Ariza in advance. Jokic, who performed well in this period, still stayed on the court.
After the timeout, Gasol received a second pass from Parker at the basket and turned into a layup.
The Spurs regained the lead.
The Pelicans chased points in a crazy way, but the Spurs themselves are not weak!
Davis missed the layup in the frontcourt and Gasol took out a defensive rebound.
With this offense and defense, the Spurs stabilized their positions on the court again.
Leonard played Ariza alone in the frontcourt and turned to layup.
"Bang!"
Davis redeemed his merits and assisted in defense to reward Leonard with a big nail-board hat, and successfully took off a defensive rebound.
The Pelicans fought back with the opportunity, Tang Tian and Holiday made two-for-one in the frontcourt, and he received a pass from Holiday to make a layup.
This is already the 13th point he has won in this quarter!
The Pelicans tied the score again!
The main players of both sides came back and continued to fight for bayonet mode.
Leonard scored a mid-range shot on this side, and Davis scored two points on the other side.
Tang Tian made a difficult backward hit after breaking through, and Parker made a layup on the other side and scored two points.
When the game reached more than the last minute, the score on the field was 103.
Both sides have both offensive efficiency in this quarter, and their level on the court is definitely at the playoffs and even the finals level.
Pelicans' ball rights.
As soon as Tang Tian got the ball, Green and Leonard both rushed over.
Tang Tian has scored 20 points in this quarter, and the explosive power of this score has caused trouble for the Spurs.
Tang Tian passed the ball to Ariza, but Ariza did not shoot. When Tang Tian accelerated without the ball and passed through the double team, he would return the ball to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian received the ball and entered the inside, and his tough confrontation with Gasol caused the latter to make a defensive foul.
He walked to the free throw line and adjusted his breath and made both free throws.
He scored his 22nd point in a single quarter and also helped the Pelicans take a key two-point lead.
"Defense! Defense!"
Fans on the scene took the initiative to cheer for the Pelicans.
With about 50 seconds left in the game, the defense of this round is crucial.
The Spurs continued to play Hammer tactics, and Gasol pulled to the three-point line to catch the ball from outside the three-point line and made a three-pointer.
The shot was a bit sudden, and Jokic's interference was not large.
"Bang!"
However, Gasol's three-pointer was not stable, and the ball hit the box.
Duncan showed his Stone Buddha attribute at a critical moment at the basket, stuck Davis, and gently tapped before Davis touched the ball and put the ball into the basket.
The two sides draw again!
The Spurs are really tenacious!
Williams called for a timeout, for the last 30 seconds.
If the Pelicans want to win the game, they must score in the next attack.
Many fans gasped at the scene. The ups and downs of the game were quite intense, and even people with bad hearts could not stand it.
After the timeout, the Pelicans did not make any lineup adjustments, and Williams also left Jokic on the court, who had played the entire fourth quarter.
After the timeout, all the other four players pulled apart, and Tang Tian held the ball outside the 45th-degree three-point line on the right wing.
He dribbled continuously with a low body and then accelerated and threw away Green.
In addition to Parker at the far end, the Spurs were far away, including Duncan in the inside, Gasol in the outside, Leonard in the weak side and Green behind him, four people surrounded Tang Tian.
This is the highest level of defensive treatment, and Popovich's last key goal is not allowed to take Tang Tian.
Tang Tian broke into the free throw line and had no way to go.
He jumped high and threw the ball back to Jokic at the top of the arc.
After all, Jokic has played in the European professional arena for many years. Although he is a rookie, his mentality is really stable.
After receiving the ball, he saw that Gasol was far away from him, so he adjusted for a while, and then shot directly.
This key ball!
The fans at the scene held their breath.
They knew Tang Tian’s big heart, but this was the first time they saw him shoot such a key goal.
The ball's ballistics are very positive and the strength looks good.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball fell heavily into the net bag.
Jokic scored his fourth and most critical three-pointer in this game!
This key goal depends on the players' psychological quality. Now it seems that Jokic's psychological quality is strong enough!
In the last 16 seconds, the Spurs called a timeout.
The cheers from the fans at the scene have burst into pieces.
Many fans stood up excitedly and waved their fists and scolded.
This three-pointer can also ensure that the Pelicans are invincible during regular season!
The Pelicans' bench was also in full swing.
However, Jokic was relatively calm after making a shot, just waved his fist.
Tang Tian smiled and went over and touched his head.
This shot is really powerful enough.
Whiteside was feeling a little complicated after seeing this scene.
Once upon a time, Tang Tian also touched his head like this.
After the timeout, the Spurs serve in the backcourt.
Parker quickly pushed the ball into the frontcourt, and Gasol was pick-and-roll at the top of the arc.
Parker quickly broke into the basket with the ball.
After 3 seconds behind in 16 seconds, the coach usually gambles three points, but Popovich chose an unexpected move and had to grab two points first.
Parker was so fast that he could fly under the basket and layup.
But at this moment, Davis flew over from the weak side, stretched out his long arm, and directly gave Parker a nail-board hat!
The moment the ball was covered on the basket, the fans at the scene were already excited.
Davis's block basically killed the game!
Jokic protected the defensive rebound, and he was very smart. He called a timeout immediately after getting the ball.
There are about 13 seconds left, but without the ball rights, it is difficult for the Spurs to win.
Popovich shook his head helplessly on the sidelines. His tactical thinking was correct, and Parker was also very well executed.
But Davis' blocking was really surprising.
I can only say that Davis has made great progress in the past two years with Tang Tian.
After the timeout, the Pelicans served in the backcourt, and Jokic successfully sent the ball to Tang Tian.
Green immediately fouled, and Tang Tian went to the free throw line.
Tang Tian walked onto the free throw line, and deafening MVP cheers were already heard at the scene.
The current situation of this game really depends on Tang Tian’s scoring explosive power in a single quarter.
Tang Tian adjusted his breathing for a while, and his energy was also consumed a lot after the attack.
The first shot was a bit short, and it hit the front of the basket a few times, as if it was aroused by the hearts of the fans on the scene.
Fortunately, the ball was finally pulled in.
Tang Tian adjusted the second penalty and made a steadily penalty.
The Pelicans scored a 5-point lead.
The Spurs called their last timeout for the game.
At this moment, a ranking list was shown on the LED screen on the spot.
In the history of the NBA playoffs, there were 32 times in the playoffs that scored more than 20 points in a single quarter.
Chapter completed!
