Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 1059 34 Consecutive Wins! A New Winning Streak Record! (5/5!)
James reacted quickly and called a timeout.
The purpose of this timeout was to stem the Pelicans' momentum, but it didn't really do much.
The Cavaliers couldn't break through the defense, and the timeout was just a scratch on the surface.
In the end, the Pelicans once again put on a dominant performance in the second half of the second quarter.
At the end of the first half, the score on the court was 69 to 41, and the Pelicans' lead had reached as many as 28 points!
The game went into halftime.
Sharp-eyed fans noticed that Adam Silver had already left the court early.
He was clearly angered by the Cavaliers' performance.
But you really can't blame the Cavaliers for this.
Tang Tian's chicken soup that night was fragrant and rich, and the Pelicans played like they were injected with chicken blood in the first half, with their overall shooting percentage exceeding 60%.
Even the previous Warriors team would have been beaten up like that.
Back in the second half, the Pelicans' shooting percentage declined somewhat, and the Cavaliers also regained their form on the offensive end.
James, Wade, and George fired one after another.
But this only managed to stalemate the situation.
With Tang Tian present, the Pelicans' offensive floor was too high.
The Cavaliers didn't give up, and it wasn't until there were five minutes left in the game and they were still down by 20+ points that Lue subbed out the starters.
Like the Warriors before them, they weren't able to play the Pelicans until the final five minutes.
These five minutes seemed to have become a forbidden zone that other teams couldn't step into in games against the Pelicans!
In the end, the Pelicans suppressed the Cavaliers throughout the game and won a big victory with a score of 131 to 106.
James had 31 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, Wade had 21 points and 5 rebounds, and George had 17 points and 4 rebounds.
Seven players on the Pelicans scored in double figures, and Tang Tian had his second triple-double of the season with 35 points, 10 rebounds, and 15 assists.
It is worth mentioning that the Pelicans had a total of 11 blocks and 9 steals in the game.
Although the Cavaliers scored a lot of points, they encountered an absolutely high-pressure level of defense tonight.
After defeating the Cavaliers, the Pelicans extended their winning streak to 34 games!
They officially broke the 33-game winning streak record set by the Lakers in the 1971-1972 season!
"A great team, 34 consecutive victories! This record, which was widely recognized as the most impossible to break, has finally been broken!"
"The Pelicans Kingdom! Invincible!"
"Facts have proven that what I said before was right, the other 29 teams in the league are all chickens in front of the Pelicans."
"The Cavaliers actually played very well, but it's a pity they were facing the Pelicans!"
"I now suspect that the Pelicans will end the regular season with 82 wins..."
"I think this possibility is getting bigger! Injuries, referees, and opponents can't stop them!"
"No, no one in this world can stop them anymore, this is the true NBA finale!" said a fan from Forbes.
"From fan to hater, I have no good feelings for the Pelicans!" said a fan of Brogdon.
"+1" said a fan of West.
"+2" said a fan of Bryant.
"+3"
……
"+10086"
"Damn, what are you guys stirring up? Shouldn't the blame be on Adam Silver and the league? Why are you shifting it to the Pelicans?"
"Regardless, I have no good feelings for the Pelicans anyway. The number one player in the league is still teaming up, shameful!" said a fan of Jokic.
"That's right, a pile of trash!" said a fan of Davis.
……
The Pelicans breaking the NBA's all-time winning streak record was an exciting and inspiring thing.
However, after the game, some small accounts stirred up trouble on social media, and many fans were turned into haters.
The day after the game, the Pelicans set off back to New Orleans.
After this wave of away games, they ushered in a rare 4-day break.
Stevens had also notified in advance after the game yesterday that the team would give the players two days off to rest.
The players were in a pretty good mood on the plane.
This time, Bojan pulled Walker, Butler, and Bryant together and started playing Texas Hold'em directly on the plane.
"It seems like someone is targeting us."
Dio, sitting in Walker's seat, looked at his phone for a while and turned to Tang Tian.
Tang Tian smiled and didn't say anything.
He knew Dio was talking about the social media thing.
He had already seen it before. Some of it was Durant's alt account, and some of it should be Adam Silver's alt account.
The rhythm was also being taken up quickly.
"This will also have some impact on you."
Dio continued.
The words "the number one player in the league teaming up," coupled with the Pelicans' crazy winning streak, touched the G-spot of many fans.
"No impact."
Tang Tian shook his head with a smile.
Speaking of the number one player in the league teaming up, James running back and forth between Cleveland and Miami before was much more exaggerated than him.
There was also Durant teaming up with the 73-win Warriors at his peak.
The Pelicans paid a big price to get Butler and also signed Walker, who no one really wanted.
Compared with James and Durant, his can only be considered a drop in the bucket.
And to be honest, the Cavaliers and Warriors aren't really that much weaker than the Pelicans on paper.
It's just that the Pelicans play brotherhood basketball, with perfect chemistry, and with his dominance, that's why they have such results.
In the end, in competitive sports, being weak is the original sin, and winning is king.
Stirring up trouble on social media is neither painful nor itchy.
Just like he said, it has no impact.
"Speaking of which, have you thought about Jimmy and Kemba's future?"
Dio then asked.
This was actually a relatively sensitive topic.
Walker will definitely opt out of his player option next season, and so will Butler.
Playing brotherhood basketball for a year, after winning the championship, they have to consider their respective futures.
Speaking of which, Tang Tian originally wanted to form brotherhood basketball to take revenge on Adam Silver, to take revenge on society.
If Adam Silver steps down, brotherhood basketball is likely to complete its mission and disband.
After all, if they keep doing this, the NBA will lose its suspense, and the fans' interest will diminish.
That would be a huge loss for both the league and the individuals.
However, he had already made up his mind to help Walker get a max contract.
And whether Adam Silver will really step down, and who will take over after Adam Silver steps down are all uncertain things.
Even if the new president takes office, whether they will introduce some strict restrictions on teaming up is also unknown.
So what will happen next year is still unknown in his mind as well.
"We Chinese have a saying, 'When the car reaches the mountain, there will be a road; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight.' We'll know what will happen next year when the time comes."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Dio is worried as an old friend because of the words of the fans on social media, which is normal.
But that's not what they should be considering now.
Right now, just like Walker and Bojan, they're smiling happily playing Texas Hold'em, they're just focusing on taking revenge on society.
When they make Adam Silver depressed, force him to step down, and make him truly depressed, that's when they will truly achieve their goal.
As for next year, the future, he's not a fortune teller, who can accurately predict their own future.
