Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 720 You Don't Want to Do It? We'll Help You! (Second Update!)

Tang Tian posted on Twitter and attached his children's names.

This kind of joy must be shared with the fans.

His tweet was quickly retweeted and soon became the hottest topic.

Many fans also mentioned yesterday's game.

Winning the battle of the century against the Warriors and giving birth to twins the next day is the best gift for Tang Tian's two sons.

Tang Tian had a double blessing, and the Pelicans also had good news.

Davis's knee was just a bruise, just like he could still play pranks with Tang Tian after the game yesterday, so the injury wasn't serious.

Optimistically, he can recover after about a week of rest.

However, for the sake of insurance, the Pelicans plan to let Davis rest for about half a month.

The team's strength and state this season really have a chance to win the championship, and the coaching staff doesn't want to take risks for it.

"...We need other people to stand up, Al, Montrezl, you need to be prepared."

At the end of the training session, Stevens said to Aminu and Harrell.

Davis will be out for half a month, and he doesn't plan to compress the rotation to play, but to give other players more opportunities.

Winning streaks and regular season records are not his goals, his goal is the championship.

And to achieve this goal, he needs to get everyone in the best possible shape during the regular season.

This way, even if he encounters injuries in the playoffs, or is targeted, he can have room to adjust.

Aminu is also an old member of the Pelicans, and he was already mentally prepared. Harrell didn't have many opportunities to play before, so he was very excited when he heard this.

After Stevens finished speaking, he dismissed the team, and the players went back to the locker room to shower one after another.

Metta World Peace was communicating with Holiday and Ariza at this time. After the communication, they gathered the players together again.

"Just like the coach said, Ad's absence will definitely require other people to stand up, but we need to do something else."

Metta World Peace said, except for Holiday and Ariza who already knew, everyone else looked at him curiously.

"We have a 20-game winning streak, we defeated the Warriors, but Tang is behind Curry on the MVP list, which is unfair and shouldn't be."

Metta World Peace's words brought a nod from the players.

The year before last, Tang Tian had the data, but the outside world said that the Pelicans' record was poor, and Tang Tian didn't get the MVP in the end.

Last year, Tang Tian still had the data, and the Pelicans also had a good record, but the league said that the Pelicans' record was not as good as the Warriors', and Tang Tian still didn't get the MVP.

Now the Pelicans' record is finally better than the Warriors', but Tang Tian is still behind Curry on the MVP list!

At this rate, will they end up saying that Tang Tian's data is not as good as Curry's, and then he will miss the MVP again?

This is definitely not possible. Being messed with like this one time after another is not just about Tang Tian alone, but about the entire Pelicans team.

So the most direct way to avoid this situation is for the Pelicans' record to be better than the Warriors' and Tang Tian's data to be better than Curry's.

If this happens, unless Xiao Hua doesn't want to continue, Tang Tian will definitely be the MVP.

And Tang Tian really should get this MVP.

This season, the Pelicans are strong, and many games are won by a large margin. Tang Tian doesn't play the full four quarters, and he doesn't even need to go all out when his teammates are in good shape.

This is also the biggest reason why his data is not as good as Curry's.

In terms of strength, Tang Tian is completely not inferior to or even surpasses Curry. This is evident from the just-concluded battle between the Pelicans and the Warriors.

Tang Tian scored a 50+ triple-double!

Originally, if it were someone else, they might have taken more shots to get good data and compete for this MVP.

But it just so happens that it's Tang Tian, just like he didn't even bother to get a 50+ triple-double in the last game, his mentality is too peaceful.

So they need the help of these teammates.

Rebounding, trying to shoot when receiving the ball, setting more screens and passing the ball to Tang Tian...

Doing these things without affecting the team's victory and without disrupting the team's system is completely fine.

Tang Tian, you don't want to pad your stats? We'll pad them for you!

Especially at this point in time, Davis's absence will weaken the Pelicans, but it's a good opportunity for Tang Tian to put up numbers.

After discussing, the teammates quickly reached an agreement.

Without telling Tang Tian, they are going to pad Tang Tian's stats!

This doesn't even need to be considered. Most of the people on this team have received a bunch of gifts from Tang Tian, so cooperating with this kind of thing is simply their duty!

After missing two days of training, Tang Tian finally appeared on the training ground on the day of the game against the Clippers.

Stevens arranged a full-court scrimmage.

The players discussed padding Tang Tian's stats, but didn't tell Stevens.

But when Stevens was arranging the game tactics, he intentionally increased the tactical proportion for Tang Tian.

This is also very reasonable.

Giving more time to other role players is to train them, but training is based on winning the game.

Although the Clippers lost Paul, Beverley and Louis Williams have integrated well under Rivers's coaching, and their strength is not much weaker than last season.

This is a tough battle, and Stevens must do this to win.

The Pelicans players and their head coach have reached a consensus without prior consultation.

The New Orleans Arena was still packed that night.

Winning the battle of the century, remaining undefeated so far, plus Tang Tian's happy arrival of twins, all of this is good news.

They are in high spirits when good things happen to them, and they are now soaring into the sky.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams took the stage one after another.

Paul was traded on the Clippers' side, and Beverley replaced him as the starter.

In other positions, Redick is the starting shooting guard, and the inside is still the combination of DeAndre Jordan and Griffin.

Paul Pierce, the veteran the team signed this season, starts at the small forward position.

On the Pelicans' side, except for Aminu replacing Davis as the starter, the other positions have not changed.

DeAndre Jordan won the jump ball against Jokic, opening the game.

Griffin held the ball and organized on the right side at a 45-degree angle.

Paul was traded, and Beverley is not a point guard, so Griffin returned to the Clippers' early style of play.

The Pelicans' defense was very good, the Clippers' tactical runs had no chance, Griffin dribbled two steps and directly backed up against Aminu.

Aminu couldn't resist, and Ariza came to help defend.

Griffin passed the ball to Pierce, who faked a shot and shook off Holiday, who was helping to defend, dribbled a step to the mid-range and hit a shot.

Davis is strong, has a long wingspan, and has a wide defensive coverage area. His absence has an obvious impact on the Pelicans' defense.

Holiday dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and made a gesture for the No. 1 tactic.

Pierce judged Tang Tian's triple threat and stuck to him, but he took another step and used his speed to completely甩开 (shuai kai - shake off) Pierce.

Jokic and Aminu at this time used all their strength on both sides to desperately hold back DeAndre Jordan and Griffin, and the area in front of Tang Tian was wide open.

Tang Tian directly accelerated to the inside, flew up and scored with a one-handed dunk.

After scoring the goal, he glanced at Jokic and Aminu in surprise. The two guys' screen quality today is a bit high!

While he was surprised, he found that Aminu and Jokic were smiling and high-fiving, and their expressions were even happier than when he scored!
