Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 912 Four Doubles in a Row!
The fans held their breath for Tang Tian, knowing he was playing with an injury!
Fortunately, his teammates didn't waste Tang Tian's desperate effort. Ariza followed up on the right wing at a forty-five-degree angle and hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Holiday.
The Pelicans unleashed a wave of offense, taking a 3-point lead over the Jazz!
Snyder called another timeout!
At this point, there were only two minutes left in the game.
The scales of victory, which had been leaning towards the Jazz, were now tilting back towards the Pelicans!
"Defend this possession, and we can win tonight's game. We need this win!"
During the timeout, Stevens shouted to the Pelicans' players, looking somewhat excited.
Although the Jazz weren't the strongest team, they had proven their strength tonight.
And winning such a close and difficult game would bring a huge boost to the Pelicans' morale and strength.
The Jazz's offense resumed after the timeout.
It was Hayward again, driving to the basket and drawing a foul on Davis.
He was knocked out of bounds, but quickly sat up and was pulled up by his Jazz teammates.
He was the epitome of the Jazz tonight, looking a bit soft as a white guy, but playing with great toughness.
Two free throws, and the difference was just 1 point.
The fans in the arena all stood up, the tense situation making it hard to stay seated.
With just over a minute left, the Pelicans were still leading by 1 point.
Tang Tian controlled the ball on the perimeter, and the fans in the arena cheered for the Pelicans.
A 1-point difference meant there wouldn't be overtime tonight.
The Pelicans' off-ball screen didn't create an opportunity, and Tang Tian lowered his body and accelerated towards the basket.
The Jazz's help defense was still quick, and Tang Tian saw an opportunity and made a beautiful bounce pass to Davis in the middle.
Davis caught the ball and went up, but Gobert's long arms blocked all possible shooting angles. He was quickly entering the ranks of top centers in the past two years.
There was contact in the air, but Davis faked the shot, gathered the ball after the contact, and turned to hook a shot off the backboard.
Gobert was too late to block it.
"Bang!"
The basketball went off the backboard and into the hoop!
Davis punched his chest and roared excitedly after scoring!
Tang Tian went over and gave him a high-five, Davis's shot was crucial!
And it looked a lot like Duncan's shot!
Davis used a lot of force when he high-fived, he had been unusually calm just now, finally breaking through his inner self!
Snyder looked helpless on the sidelines, the Jazz had only one timeout left, and now wasn't the time to call it.
"Defense! Defense!"
The Pelicans took a three-point lead into their defense.
With only 50 seconds left in the game, stopping this possession would basically secure the win for the Pelicans!
The Jazz ran a series of pick-and-roll plays, but the Pelicans' defense was airtight.
The ball ended up in Hayward's hands, who had played well tonight and already had a team-high 27 points.
Gobert set a high screen to block Ariza, and Hayward chose to pull up for a three-pointer against Jokic.
Everyone in the arena held their breath, if this shot went in, the Jazz would tie the game!
"Clang!"
The basketball bounced off the rim!
Unfortunately, Hayward was just an ordinary All-Star player, and his stability in these crucial moments wasn't stable enough!
Davis had a chance to grab the defensive rebound, but instead of going directly for it, he turned around and used his big butt to box out Favors!
Tang Tian reached out and grabbed the defensive rebound!
His 10th rebound of the game!
In the last game, Davis also turned into a rebound-card to let Tang Tian get the rebound, but unfortunately he misremembered the number of rebounds, but this time he remembered it correctly, and he did it!
With only 30 seconds left in the game, this might be Tang Tian's last chance to get a rebound!
A rebound worth its weight in gold!
22 points, 10 rebounds, 11 assists, and 10 steals!
Tang Tian had gotten a quadruple-double in two consecutive games!
But at this point, not many people were paying attention to that, because there were still 30 seconds left on the court!
With no timeouts remaining, the Pelicans advanced to the frontcourt, and the Jazz went on defense.
The scales of victory had completely tilted towards the Pelicans, but the Jazz still had a chance to add a big weight to their side to turn the tables.
But that was only if they could defend the Pelicans' last attack.
Snyder roared on the sidelines, and the Jazz showed their attitude, the Pelicans' continuous tactics didn't create any opportunities.
And Hill and Hayward both shut down Tang Tian's ability to receive the ball, the Jazz put on an extremely high level of defense!
Holiday finally passed the ball to Davis, who took a shot from the free-throw line.
He was only guarded by Hood, and he had just made a crucial shot in the previous possession.
The ball left his hand, carrying the eyes of nearly 20,000 people in the arena, and went towards the basket!
But it bounced out!
His rhythm and feel were good, but unfortunately, his luck was a bit off!
The Jazz's chance!
Gobert and Favors immediately rushed to the basket, Hill was the closest, turned around and let go of Tang Tian to grab the rebound.
He judged the landing point of the ball very accurately, and could grab it with a reach.
But just then, a black shadow flew over his head.
Just as he looked up, a big hand grabbed the basketball and slammed it into the basket!
He didn't have time to react.
"Bang!"
The ball was slammed into the basket!
A put-back dunk!
From Tang Tian!
The fans in the arena went wild!
Tang Tian's offensive performance had been poor due to injury, but he had contributed a game-winning dunk at the end!
An incredible performance!
He was simply a robot!
He was simply not human!
Tang Tian roared excitedly after landing from the dunk.
In the last game against the Rockets, his last-second dunk over Cousins had failed.
But this time he succeeded over Hill!
Snyder called the Jazz's last timeout.
After calling it, he looked at the scoreboard and shook his head.
Trailing by 5 points with 8 seconds left, the game was over.
"You did it! You did it!"
As Tang Tian left the court, Bojan shouted at him.
At the same time, cheers and whistles rang out in the arena.
On the Led screen in the arena, Tang Tian's stats for the game were displayed.
8 of 19 shooting, 24 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, 10 steals, and 3 blocks!
A quadruple-double!
Consecutive quadruple-doubles!
The first person in history!
Next to the stats was a series of notes.
Tang Tian, completed an unprecedented achievement, he created a new record!
"What did I say? Sixth sense, my sixth sense!"
In the commentary booth, McGrady laughed excitedly.
Although he could only be considered a rookie in the commentary world, that didn't mean he was a bad commentator!
Just hype Tang Tian!
Breen and Miller nodded with laughter on the side.
Putting up consecutive quadruple-doubles while injured, and a sensational game-winning dunk at the end.
They really wanted to worship Tang Tian like those players on the Chinese men's basketball team at the Rio Olympics!
