Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 669 Green: We Will End the Fight Within Five Games (First Update!)
This time, Tang Tian not only hit the critical fadeaway, but also used his old skills, a successful defense and a steal, to help the Pelicans win the game!
When the final buzzer sounded, Barkley covered his face with both hands and hid directly under the table.
He really lost every time he met Tang, and had no face to see anyone.
After the game, the Pelicans teammates on and off the court rushed to Tang Tian and shouted at him.
Just like a pack of wolves calling for their wolf king.
Tang Tian's performance at the critical moment lived up to the status of the Pelicans' boss, and definitely lived up to his superstar status.
Especially after just missing out on the MVP, he defeated the team led by the MVP!
"MVP! MVP!"
The fans at the scene chanted MVP in unison, led by someone.
Tang Tian smiled and waved to the fans.
Like Chinatown, many of the fans here only became Pelicans fans after Tang Tian arrived.
Their enthusiasm for Tang Tian and the Pelicans is truly unparalleled.
The game was over, and the two teams did the final handshake.
Thompson and Curry both hugged Tang Tian.
"Congratulations, your performance was really great."
Curry congratulated Tang Tian with a smile.
He had just won the MVP and then lost the game, and also listened to the opposing fans chanting MVP for their core player.
Many people find it difficult to maintain their demeanor on such occasions, but Curry is different.
He can clearly distinguish between on and off the court; on the court, they are opponents, and off the court, they are friends.
And he really has a good temper.
"Thank you, you too."
Tang Tian felt good after interacting with Curry, and replied with a smile.
And what he said was right.
He scored 33 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists in this game, a very good performance.
But Curry had 40 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists, and his performance was no worse than his.
At the post-match press conference, Tang Tian and Davis attended.
Tang Tian played well in this game, and Davis also played very well. The latter scored a career-high 37 points in the playoffs, with 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals, a very outstanding performance.
This was also the first time the two had combined for 70+ points in a playoff game.
In addition to the outstanding performance of the two, and some adjustments in the team's tactics, the reporter naturally asked about the small-ball lineup in the last round.
"I believe in my players, they are constantly improving, and their performance is great."
"We believe in Coach Williams, and the final result of the game proves that his judgment was correct."
Williams and Tang Tian praised each other in front of reporters.
After winning the game, all the problems are no longer problems.
The atmosphere of the Pelicans' post-match press conference was harmonious, which is how it should be after winning.
But on the other side, the Warriors, who lost the game, also had a good atmosphere.
"All teams will lose, this is the first game we lost in the playoffs, and it may not be the last, but this is not a bad thing, losing will also help us, we will do the details better in the next game, we will win it back."
Curry smiled and answered the reporter's questions. His words were not flamboyant, but gave people a sense of security.
Curry, as a superstar, is really a bit different from others.
But if a team has a gentle boss, there will definitely be a flamboyant second or third in command.
Green is that person.
"We were just a little unlucky. Stephen can make nine out of ten of those shots at the end. It just so happened that he didn't make that one."
Green's way of speaking is completely different from Curry's, and he is the kind who is absolutely asking for a beating.
"Don't worry, we will end the game within five games."
And his skin is really as thick as it looks.
In the last game, he said that the Warriors would sweep, but as a result, they lost. He just acted like he didn't say it.
But this kind of personality does help the Warriors a lot.
The boss Curry has a gentle personality, and Thompson, the second in command, is not flamboyant either. Without him, the Warriors' aura would be much smaller.
After this game, there was no less discussion among the fans.
"Seriously, I really want to slap Green now. This guy's mouth is not only big, but also stinky. He can still be so arrogant even after losing!"
"A tree without bark is bound to die, a person without shame is invincible!"
"His words are like farts, we just treat them as farts and let them go!"
"Let's not talk about Green. As Pelicans fans, this game was so enjoyable to win. Tang didn't get the MVP, but he defeated Curry, the MVP!"
"This is really slapping the league in the face with strength. I am now full of confidence in the series again!"
"And sorry Williams, we all misunderstood you. You can be the head coach of this Pelicans team!"
"Believe in them, believe in them and miracles will happen!"
…
While a new turning point appeared in the Western Conference Finals, the Eastern Conference Finals had entered a white-hot stage.
Without Love, the Cavaliers' strength was closer to the Bulls.
In the fourth game that just ended, Butler made a clutch shot to kill the Cavaliers, rewriting the series score to 2 to 2.
Not only Tang Tian, the leading brother, but Thompson, Irving, and Butler have all had eye-catching performances in the playoffs.
The popularity of the Hard Training Brothers is trending towards the Fab Four.
The fourth game of the Western Conference Finals will not start until two days later, but the Pelicans have arranged daily training early the next day.
Winning the third game was gratifying, but for the Pelicans, the next game was also extremely critical.
If they lose this home game, they will fall into a 1 to 3 deficit like they did in the semifinals.
Having experienced it once, they know how difficult it is to complete the reversal.
They don't want to experience it a second time.
"Tang, can we win the next game?"
After the training, Davis was bored and turned to ask Tang Tian.
Before Tang Tian could speak, Metta World Peace next to him spoke first.
"Don't worry, remember that Draymond guy said he was going to sweep before, and then what? We won right away. Now he says he will end the series within five games, so we will definitely win the next game."
Tang Tian couldn't help laughing after hearing what Metta World Peace said.
He didn't expect Metta World Peace to also believe in the theory of good character, but speaking of which, Green has really ruined his character these two times.
You should know that Holt of the Spurs just staged a lesson from the past.
"We will win."
Tang Tian also said.
With the game approaching, he must say positive and optimistic words, and Davis also needs this kind of encouragement.
And speaking of which, the Pelicans have found a way to deal with the Warriors.
As long as they continue to maintain the execution of the last game, as long as the two outside players of the Warriors don't go berserk, the Pelicans, who are playing at home, still have a good chance of winning.
After hearing what Metta World Peace and Tang Tian said, Davis's confidence increased a lot.
As long as they win the next game, the score will be 2 to 2, and both sides will be back on the same starting line.
At that time, the Bo7 game will become a Bo3, and the Pelicans' chances of winning will be the same as the Warriors'.
Defeating the Grizzlies had actually satisfied him, but since they have reached this first step, everyone wants to go for the highest honor belonging to the players.
