"Can we congratulate Tang in advance for becoming the new scoring champion?"

At the end of the first half, Barkley turned to Smith and O'Neal and said.

O'Neal nodded.

Even for Durant, it would be difficult to score 50 points by shooting like crazy against Luol Deng and Jimmy Butler.

"I don't think so yet."

Smith still reserved his opinion at this time.

"50 points is a very high score, but if there are enough shots guaranteed, Durant still has a chance."

"Although that chance is not very big."

Just as O'Neal and Barkley were about to open their mouths, Smith immediately added another sentence.

O'Neal and Barkley couldn't help but laugh. Smith was talking nonsense.

50+ is indeed not impossible, but it's only halftime!

It was impossible for Tang Tian not to score a single point in the second half. According to the Pelicans' momentum, Tang Tian breaking the record was a certainty.

Durant scoring 60+ against the Bulls?

That's not realistic at all if the Bulls want to win.

The chance is not small, but very slim.

However, it depends on whether Tang Tian gives him a chance.

If he doesn't feel well in the second half, or if he doesn't have the stamina, then Durant still has a chance.

After all, there are games in the NBA where the scoring difference between the first and second half is large.

Or, if the Lakers collapse in the third quarter and the point difference is too large, Tang Tian may be embarrassed to play and continue to pad his stats.

After a short halftime break, the starting players from both sides took the court again.

The lineups on both sides remained unchanged.

After coming back, the Lakers attacked first. Nash organized on the frontcourt, Kobe ran an off-ball play, and Nash's pass arrived at the first time.

Kobe caught the ball and shot.

"Swish!"

The basketball went into the net.

His first shot was a hit.

He was using practical actions to show that his missed shots in the first half were not a matter of form, but a problem with the basket.

Because the offense and defense would be exchanged in the second half!

However, Tang Tian immediately responded, shaking off Miles and hitting a contested jumper!

The basket, there was no problem!

The two of them were really going head-to-head tonight.

In the Lakers' offense, Nash continued to find Kobe. This time, Kobe posted up Holiday and then faded away.

"Swish!"

The basketball went into the net again, two in a row!

Forget about the basket problem, Kobe's touch in the second half had really returned!

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian once again singled out Miles, breaking through and scoring on a layup.

The two scored consecutively in the second half. They weren't comparing who could miss more shots, but started scoring!

Kobe received the ball again in the frontcourt, and the Pelicans double-teamed him.

Morrow helped from the weak side.

Kobe didn't pass the ball.

He had played for nearly 20 years, and had been a superstar for more than ten years, so he was very clear about his condition and feel.

When he's got the touch, why pass the ball!

He turned directly to the baseline for a turnaround fadeaway.

Morrow and Holiday put a lot of defensive pressure on him.

However, Kobe's waist was really good, and his body coordination in the air was unbelievable. He managed to maintain a perfect shooting form.

Except for Jordan, no one could compare to his fadeaway.

"Swish!"

The basketball went into the net again.

Kobe, he really found his touch!

The Staples Center was boiling.

The shot was handsome, and the make was even more handsome.

This is why they still preferred Kobe to Durant even when Kobe was old.

It was acceptable for a reckless man to be a little fierce, but it was really uncomfortable for a shooter not to be handsome enough.

Kobe was very handsome.

Tang Tian paid more attention at this time.

It wasn't that he thought Kobe was handsome, but that Kobe's scoring ability was what he lacked now.

Don't look at the choice of treating a double-team as an open shot as very bad, but being able to make the shot is ability.

When playing against strong teams, this is the most powerful scoring ability.

Those game-winning shots and comeback shots against strong teams all came from this.

In the Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian singled out Miles again in the frontcourt, and hit another contested jumper.

Kobe scored 3 consecutive shots in the second half, and he returned 3 consecutive shots!

The contested jumper skill is still very different from the open three-pointer.

It has a basic hit rate there, but the true hit rate is greatly affected by the feel.

This is also reasonable, after all, no matter how you try to find an opportunity for a contested jumper, it is impossible to be completely undisturbed like an open three-pointer.

Miles felt a little depressed at this time.

Tang Tian scored 40+ points on his head in the first half, and in the blink of an eye, he was going for 50+!

Before, when Kobe scored 81 points, he at least scored against the entire Raptors team. There were a lot of switches and double-teams in that game.

But in this game, D'Antoni really let him defend from beginning to end!

Depressed.

"Speed! Speed!"

D'Antoni was shouting for the team to speed up on the sidelines at this time, completely ignoring Miles.

What Kobe said before the game was right, they wouldn't care how many points Tang Tian scored, they just wanted to win this game.

After Kobe received the ball in the frontcourt, he shook Holiday with a fake move, and scored a floater in the face of Davis.

Kobe was 0 for 4 at the start, but 4 for 4 since coming back in the second half!

Halftime rest works at any time! Including having a son!

Anthony is praised by fans as an offensive kaleidoscope, but Kobe's scoring methods are actually no less than Anthony's.

This is also one of the reasons why these stars in the early 2000s were deeply loved by fans.

The rules in the early 2000s forced the stars to constantly enrich their offensive methods, instead of being able to easily win the scoring title with just three tricks like later on with the rule changes.

However, Tang Tian turned around and broke into the basket, drawing a shooting foul on Wright, and scored points after making both free throws!

His scoring methods were not as good as Kobe's, but because the Pelicans' lineup had good spacing on the court, he was very comfortable playing one-on-one against Miles.

D'Antoni's defensive strategy has remained unchanged, and Tang Tian's scoring has continued.

Moreover, his hit rate in this quarter was obviously improved compared to the first half.

In this quarter, he scored 22 points on 9 of 13 shooting!

Kobe on the opposite side also had 18 points on 7 of 10 shooting.

After three quarters, the Pelicans led the Lakers 91-86.

The outcome was still uncertain.

But Tang Tian had already scored an incredible 62 points!

The last time he played against the Knicks, Tang Tian scored 51 points in three quarters and failed to break the record, which was a pity, but this time he broke it in three quarters, and he broke it thoroughly...

Before the game was over, fans on social media had completely exploded.

"62 points in three quarters, sure enough, Tang is paying tribute to Kobe, but the difference is that he will still play in the fourth quarter, terrifying!"

"Are we going to witness the highest 70+ score of the season tonight?!"

"And look at Tang's hit rate, 20 of 35 shots, it's over 50%! This is really not just padding stats!"

"I really feel happy for Elizabeth Olsen now. Tang took 35 shots in three quarters. Being able to do this on the NBA court, his stamina must be maxed out!"

"Brother, your perspective on things is very novel!"

"Haha, doesn't anyone care about our Little Shuai?"

"Tsk tsk, let me calculate, Durant needs to score 72 points to win the scoring title?"

"Durant:……"
