Chapter 37 He Is Our Leader?!

When Davis said that, everyone, including Tang Tian, was stunned for a moment.

Right now, everyone outside was arguing about whether Tang Tian or Davis was the team leader, but Davis was good, directly admitting that Tang Tian was the leader?!

You’re really a masochist!

However, it was reasonable for Davis to say this.

Tang Tian had been scoring like crazy since the beginning of the season, averaging 30+ points per game.

Although it had declined somewhat after that, his 44 points against the Warriors, 41 points against the Spurs, and then 40 points against the Nets, each time leading the team to victory.

With this kind of performance, unless it was someone with a paranoid personality like Kobe, most people would definitely be convinced.

If you can score high and help the team win, you deserve to have the ball, you are the team leader.

There was nothing to say about it.

After Williams reacted, he was not disappointed in Davis, but instead approved of him even more.

It was valuable for a person to know his own limits. Davis's words showed that he knew his own strength, which was a good thing.

Because he knew his limits, he could strengthen himself in a targeted manner, and gradually realize his so-called greatest talent.

"Tang, continue with the previous tactic."

Williams finally agreed with Davis.

This sentence was basically equivalent to announcing that Tang Tian was the team leader.

Tang Tian nodded. Davis had already said that much, so he had to grit his teeth and finish this last attack.

He couldn't let this trust down.

The timeout ended.

Many fans at the court stood up.

The Knicks had not performed well this season, and had not played a game of life and death with other teams for a long time.

A rare moment of excitement, even these big spenders couldn't sit still.

In the last 4 seconds, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder.

If the Pelicans scored on the last attack, it would basically be a game-winning shot; if they didn't, the two sides would go into overtime.

Holiday was inbounding on the sideline, and Morrow was spreading out in the corner.

Anderson first screened for Tang Tian, then moved to the forty-five degree angle on the weak side.

Davis screened for Tang Tian and then cut to the basket.

Williams's tactical arrangement was quite good.

The movement of the other players took away the defenders, and Tang Tian came out to receive the ball and turned to face Anthony.

He went straight into a pull-up jumper.

Anthony lunged out.

But Tang Tian didn't want to shoot. He used his powerful core strength to quickly gather the ball, then accelerated his drive inside.

3 seconds.

2 seconds.

Tang Tian broke through to the basket and got up. Stoudemire jumped up to block at this time.

The two had physical contact in the air.

But the referee didn't blow his whistle.

At this time, unless the offensive player was maliciously fouled, the referee would not blow the whistle.

1 second.

Tang Tian forced a shot after the contact.

The moment the ball left his hand, the red light on the sideline also lit up.

Everyone held their breath.

Tang Tian had also exhausted his last bit of strength.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the backboard.

Then it bounced onto the rim, teetering back and forth.

Then it spun around the rim for a small half circle.

Finally, it rolled in!

Game-winning shot!

Tang Tian hit a game-winning shot against the Knicks at the last moment!

With this game-winning percentage, Anthony's title as the king of game-winning shots would soon change hands!

The scene was in an uproar.

Although they would cheer for the visiting team, this last-second shot meant that the home team lost.

After the uproar, they began to leave the court one after another.

They were now cursing the Knicks in their hearts for ruining their good mood all night.

But life had to go on, it was time to go to a nightclub to find a girl to vent and find fun again.

Tang Tian looked at this incredible scene and suddenly felt that it was his luck that the Knicks didn't offer him a contract.

A large number of fans left the court, but coach Woodson still ran to the scorer's table to confirm whether Tang Tian's game-winning shot was too late.

The Pelicans were originally preparing to celebrate, but when they saw the replay on the LED screen, they also looked up.

Tang Tian's shot was really on the limit.

In such a short time, the best way was to just pull up and shoot, which was why Anthony's lunge was so decisive.

But he didn't expect Tang Tian to use a breakthrough at the end, and such a difficult shot after the contact, the timing would definitely not be enough.

When the slow motion came to 24 frames per second, the replay showed that the ball had already left Tang Tian's hand when the buzzer sounded.

It was a valid game-winning shot.

Tang Tian only scored 2 points in the fourth quarter after being targeted, but they were the most valuable 2 points!

After confirming that the game-winning shot was valid, the Pelicans players all excitedly raised their hands.

Davis hugged Tang Tian and laughed excitedly.

For a big boy, you can never have too many game-winning shots, the more the more excited you are!

After a brief celebration, the two teams exchanged the final handshake.

"You played great, I look forward to our next match."

Anthony was not as arrogant as J.R. Smith, but smiled and hugged Tang Tian.

Because of his appearance, personality, and usual style, Anthony was called a gangster boss by fans, full of hooliganism.

If you want to win his respect, the best way is to defeat him head-on.

Tang Tian did it tonight, letting him score 45 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists in vain.

After the game, Williams took Tang Tian and Davis to attend the press conference.

"He proved he was a clutch player when he was with the Spurs. He's hit clutch shots more than once since he came to this team. He's one of the biggest-hearted players I've ever seen, and what's even more unbelievable is that he's only 22 years old."

Williams was generous with his praise in front of the media.

Tang Tian made 16 of 31 shots in this game, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 40 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, which was worthy of such praise.

"We all trust him, he is our leader."

Davis repeated what he said at the end of the game.

He had 14 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks in this game.

This statement also caused a stir among the reporters offstage.

Obviously, this was definitely big news.

"My teammates are all great. I encountered a lot of double-teams tonight, but they all converted my passes into assists. AD, Eric, Zhu, Ryan, Anthony... I had 8 assists tonight, you know I can't do this without any of them."

Williams and Davis praised Tang Tian, and Tang Tian naturally had to praise his teammates.

The NBA is a commercial league, and the team is the workplace. This kind of commercial mutual praise is very necessary.

The Pelicans' post-game press conference was harmonious, and fans were also discussing it enthusiastically on social media.

"AD has admitted that Tang is the leader of the Pelicans, so this so-called leader dispute is no longer meaningful!"

"4 times 40+ this season, 7 consecutive games of 30+, 3 consecutive games of 40+, 3 consecutive wins, 7th in the West, tell me, what else is he if not the leader?"

"And after this game, his average score has exceeded 28 points, surpassing Durant, and reaching the top of the league's scoring list!"

"Durant has been the scoring champion for 3 of the past 4 years, but Tang will be the scoring champion this year!"

"The old king is dead, the new king should be established!"

"Durant: ??"
