Brown really knew James, even though it had been more than five years since he last coached him.

But he was the head coach who had coached James for the longest time, and the two had worked together for as long as five years.

James's skills were improving, but many things couldn't be changed, such as habits and dominant hands, which only people who had spent a long time together would know.

And perhaps because of Woj's report, he was also a bit sulky, and after being targeted, he continued to attack strongly.

As a result, the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency was not high in this quarter, while the Pelicans continued to perform efficiently under Tang Tian's leadership.

In this quarter, the Pelicans in turn beat the Cavaliers 31 to 19. After three quarters, the Pelicans led the Cavaliers by as much as 16 points, 81 to 65.

In the last quarter, Blatt continued to use the lineup from the beginning of the second quarter, and it worked again.

After Yang and Irving each scored a goal, the point difference was immediately narrowed to 12 points.

Stevens reacted quickly this time, and before the Cavaliers could further narrow the point difference, he brought Tang Tian and Davis back on the court early.

This was to prepare for a wave to take the game away directly.

After Tang Tian came on the court, he used the triple threat to beat Thaddeus Young. After getting past his opponent, he directly hit 2+1 against Thompson.

Although their abbreviations are both TT, the difference in strength between the two is a bit too much.

After Tang Tian made the extra free throw, the point difference was widened back to 15 points.

In the next round, Irving showed his personal ability, using a Sam Gold to shake off Dinwiddie, and then stepped back and made a three-pointer, narrowing the point difference to 12 points again.

With James not on the court, Irving played like an unfettered eagle.

The Cavaliers' bench was in an uproar.

But the next second, Tang Tian used the same method to shake off Shumpert, who had just come on the court, and made another three-pointer, scoring his 35th point of the game!

In this section, the two hard-working brothers directly scored points!

Seeing that both Young and Shumpert couldn't defend Tang Tian, Blatt turned around and called James up.

A point difference of around 15 points was not too big, but if the Cavaliers couldn't narrow the point difference to within 10 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, there would be no need to play later.

After James came on the court, he forced a foul on Davis and made two free throws after walking to the free throw line.

Stevens also replaced Aminu, and the two sides frequently substituted people during this period, and the coaches were also fighting fiercely off the court.

The Pelicans attacked to the frontcourt, and Tang Tian saw that the defender in front of him had become James.

If it were normal, he would mostly pull James away and let Jokic organize the offense.

After all, the Cavaliers' defense was half James and half other people.

But thinking of Woj's previous report, he changed his mind and signaled to play the No. 1 tactic after receiving the ball.

The other players on the Pelicans pulled away, and the weak side had tactical movements to contain the defense.

Seeing the Pelicans' tactics, boos began to sound at the scene.

The fans were most excited about Woj's report before the game. They couldn't wait for the Pelicans to beat the Cavaliers and Tang Tian to beat James.

Now the Pelicans were about to beat the Cavaliers, and only the part where Tang Tian beat James was left.

Tang Tian put on a triple threat, and then dribbled the ball under his crotch after a probing step.

James's defense was S-level. His prediction was very accurate and he was not deceived by Tang Tian.

However, Tang Tian's next second acceleration to break through on the left still shook him off.

This was pure speed crushing.

James wanted to come for a chase-down block, but after Tang Tian saw Jokic block Mozgov, he directly chose to jump up and dunk with both hands.

"Bang!"

James's figure flew over his head, and Tang Tian scored with a powerful dunk with both hands.

The cheers at the scene exploded.

Dribbling past and then dunking, how long has it been since James has been hit like this!

"Tang is going to get 40 points tonight!"

O'Neal said with a big laugh in the commentary booth.

He had already felt Tang Tian's killing intent from the ball just now.

"The Cavaliers don't have many chances."

Barkley echoed with a big laugh, and looked up at the timer by the way.

The score between the two sides was deadlocked, but as time ticked by, the Cavaliers' chances of winning became less and less.

James received the ball in the frontcourt, and seeing that Aminu was still a step away from him, he still didn't choose to shoot a three-pointer.

Although his arsenal already had three-pointers, he really didn't like shooting from that position now.

He chose to break through on the right and got into the Pelicans' defensive pocket.

Aminu and Jokic were blocking him from the front and back, and his signature three-step layup forced Jokic's shooting foul.

After making both free throws, the point difference returned to 13 points again.

James didn't defend Tang Tian, but the Pelicans didn't defend James either.

Tang Tian continued to hold the ball on the outside and play the No. 1 tactic. James was a little far away from Tang Tian this time.

He was confident in his speed, and even if Tang Tian chose to shoot, he was confident that he could get there in time.

Tang Tian didn't shoot. He chose to accelerate and break through. After confronting James in the three-second zone, he directly chose to lean back and shoot!

James was surprised by this shot. He didn't interfere, and Tang Tian's lean back shot steadily went into the basket!

Tang Tian scored 2 consecutive goals against James's defense, bringing his personal score to 39 points!

The cheers at the scene couldn't stop.

Now they really wanted to shout to the Heat management and James on behalf of Tang Tian.

You used to ignore me, but now I'm too good for you!

James continued to get into the Pelicans' defensive pocket and force a layup. His ability was really strong. Jokic defended in place, but he still scored a layup at close range!

James's three-step layup is really unstoppable for ordinary people!

Blatt was pacing anxiously on the sidelines at this time.

Just like Barkley said, although the score on the court was deadlocked, time was now the Cavaliers' biggest enemy.

There wasn't much time left for the Cavaliers!

And just as he looked worried, Tang Tian used a breakthrough feint to deceive James, and directly made another three-pointer!

Tang Tian's 42nd point!

He was unstoppable in this quarter!

The point difference returned to 16 points again!

Blatt almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

This was equivalent to playing for almost half a quarter, and the Cavaliers hadn't caught up by even 1 point!

And in the next round, Tang Tian suddenly shrank back to defend, and rushed out from the side to steal the ball from James's hand.

The Pelicans took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and Holiday's layup in the frontcourt against Irving sealed the victory!

In the end, the Pelicans relied on the advantage they had in the third quarter, as well as Tang Tian's continuous scoring in the last quarter, to win a big victory over the Cavaliers at home with a score of 113 to 97.

They rebounded strongly after a sluggish performance in the past week, and achieved a hearty victory.

James got the Cavaliers' highest score of 33 points, but his 10-of-26 shooting efficiency tonight was not high. Irving got 23 points and 6 assists, and Love got 16 points.

On the Pelicans' side, Tang Tian played his best game since his comeback, making 17 of 27 shots and efficiently scoring a game-high 46 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals!
