After a brief rest, both sides welcomed overtime.

Lopez continued his hot streak from the final stage of the regular season, winning the jump ball against Gasol and earning the Lakers the first chance to attack.

Durant received the ball in the frontcourt and, facing Green's block, hit a contested mid-range jumper.

That was also his 44th point of the game.

Whether it was personal scoring, the crucial shots at the end of the regular season, or even that shot just now.

He was truly giving it his all tonight.

However, coming back, Tang Tian got past Middleton and, facing James' help defense, also made a contested jumper!

Tang Tian's touch was still red-hot!

Right after Tang Tian made that shot, a burst of cheers erupted in the New Orleans arena.

Because those two points brought Tang Tian's personal score to 84 points!

He broke his own previous record of 82 points in a single game.

The online forums also exploded.

They knew it was a certainty that Tang Tian would break this record, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly.

James drove to the frontcourt and passed out, and Lopez made a three-pointer at the arc!

With him in this kind of form, the Lakers keeping him in the summer was simply a divine move.

Tang Tian took a three-pointer from the outside in the frontcourt, but this time it was a bit off and didn't go in.

However, Gasol fought hard to grab the offensive rebound and, seeing Tang Tian cutting in after shooting, directly flicked the pass.

Tang Tian received the ball, took off, and made a mid-air dodge and layup facing James.

This shot was very difficult, but Tang Tian still sent the ball into the basket!

Tang Tian's 86th point!

The cheers in the arena rose again.

Tang Tian had already broken the regular season scoring record, and every point he scored was a new record.

James used Lopez's pick in the frontcourt, a tank-style layup and strong attack on Gasol, causing the latter's defensive foul.

That was also Gasol's sixth personal foul.

James got two free throw opportunities.

Gasol was fouled out, and James still had two free throws, which was very unfavorable for the Pelicans.

The fans in the arena tried their best to interfere with James' free throws.

James steadily made one of the two free throws.

Davis grabbed the defensive rebound and directly threw it to Brogdon.

The Lakers' point of defense against fast breaks was all on Tang Tian, and Brogdon accelerated all the way to the frontcourt and made a layup.

134 all!

With just over a minute left in overtime, the two sides were once again on the same starting line!

James' breakthrough layup in the frontcourt was interfered with by Siakam, and even using the soma step, he couldn't get the ball in.

Tang Tian was double-teamed in the frontcourt and passed out, the ball went to Siakam at the bottom corner, but the latter's open three-pointer also failed to go in.

James took a crucial three-pointer from outside, the trajectory of the ball was very straight, but it smashed out of the rim.

Lopez used his height advantage to grab another offensive rebound at a crucial moment.

The Lakers pressured the time to the last moment, James broke through and passed the ball to Middleton, whose quick shot was interfered with by Tang Tian's help defense and the basketball smashed out of the rim.

Davis protected the defensive rebound, and the Pelicans called a timeout!

There were only 26 seconds left in the game!

In the past minute, neither team had scored!

It depended on who could score in these last 26 seconds.

When the timeout returned, Tang Tian held the ball at the top of the arc and pressured the time.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened, except for the two inside players on the left and right sides of the basket, the remaining three Lakers players went straight to double-team Tang Tian.

Vogel didn't dare to use box-1, but he dared to force Tang Tian to pass the ball.

A three-man double-team, and it was Durant, Middleton, and Simmons, three long-armed monsters.

Tang Tian didn't even have room to dribble, but he reacted quickly enough, flicking the ball to Green on the weak side before the double-team formed.

Green had a wide-open opportunity.

But he didn't shoot, he gave the ball to Brogdon, who continued to pressure the time.

And at this time, a very interesting scene.

The three people who double-teamed Tang Tian didn't come back!

Vogel's meaning was very clear, anyone else could shoot, but Tang Tian couldn't!

And with Lopez and James inside, the Lakers gave the Pelicans other players the opportunity to shoot, but wouldn't give them the chance to break through.

With little time left, Brogdon passed the ball back to Green, and Green took a three-pointer.

It wasn't until this time that Durant and the others turned around to grab rebounds under the basket.

Green was an old player after all, and the shot was very steady and straight.

The Lakers might pay the price for their choice.

"Bang!"

But with a muffled sound, the ball grazed the edge of the basket when it went in and popped out again!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Green didn't seize the opportunity!

But the Lakers still paid the price for their choice.

With only Lopez and James inside, they were obviously at a disadvantage in protecting the rebound.

Siakam showed his physical talent, leaping high and desperately patting the ball out of the three-point line.

The ball flew straight back to Tang Tian's hands!

And at this moment, something unexpected happened.

After Tang Tian got the ball, he held the ball in his left hand, stretched out his right hand forward, spread his palm and pressed down, making a "wait a minute" gesture.

This action was very sudden, and even Middleton and Simmons, who originally wanted to rush up, were stopped.

And in the next second, Tang Tian, who was two meters away from the three-point line, directly shot with the ball!

This choice was even more unexpected.

Because there were nearly 8 seconds left in the game, he didn't pressure even a second!

And this was still a quasi-logo three-pointer!

Just like the previous chasing three-pointer with no one around, it would be very stupid if he didn't make it.

In the astonished eyes of the fans at the scene, the ball left Tang Tian's hand, flying and drawing a parabola in the air.

"Swish!"

A crisp sound.

It would be stupid if he didn't make it, but Tang Tian could make it!

Just like that chasing three-pointer, this quasi-logo three-pointer was the same!

And with the previous waiting action, and the premise of not pressuring the time at all, the index of this action was definitely 101 points, giving one more point was not afraid of being proud.

It was even very likely that after the game, this action would skyrocket to one of the NBA's top moments.

After the ball went in, the entire New Orleans arena erupted.

"God, he can freaking make the ball!"

On the commentary seat, Miller couldn't help but swear.

Tang Tian was truly refreshing their understanding time and time again.

"He can do everything!"

Breen had commentated on the NBA for so many years, and at this time, he couldn't use any other adjectives except blowing.

Tang Tian, ​​truly the number one person in NBA history.

Vogel reached out and called a timeout.

There were only 7 seconds left for the Lakers.

And what he didn't know was that after Tang Tian made this ultra-long shot, the Pelicans entered the elementary school students' carnival minute again.

The defensive pressure that the Lakers needed to face after the timeout would be doubled.

After the timeout, the Lakers served the ball in the frontcourt.

Because the Lakers were leading by three points, they had to shoot a three-pointer, and the Pelicans spread their defense very wide.

The Lakers finally served the ball, but Durant, who received the ball, had no chance to shoot, just like at the end of the regular season.

And he was forced by Tang Tian to a position more than one meter outside the three-point line.

This was completely beyond his shooting range.

Time passed second by second, and the other Pelicans defended their respective players to death, not giving them a chance to receive the ball at all.

Durant had no choice in the end, and before the whistle sounded, he turned around and forced a shot against Tang Tian's defense.

The difficulty factor of this ball was full.

After the ball was shot, the red light on the sidelines also lit up.

The trajectory of the ball looked a bit off, and the strength was obviously a bit too great.

"Bang!"

The ball grazed the edge of the basket.

But it went in!

Durant, who made a fairy ball in the regular season, made another one at the last moment of overtime!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Durant was simply on fire tonight!

137 all!

The two sides will usher in the second overtime!
