Harden has not scored much in the past two games, but has a lot of assists. His role in the Rockets is still very large.

Tang Tian's idea is simple. He wants to blow Harden in the most rude one-to-one way.

That way, only the Rockets of Paul and Cousins ​​are not opponents of the Pelicans.

And this is also a warm-up for the next round.

If you meet the Warriors, it will be a tactic that will be used to play Curry. If it is the Thunder, you also need to play Adams.

In other words, this is a tactical adjustment and a warm-up for the next round.

Stevens agreed.

The next game in New Orleans is the best time for the Pelicans to end the series.

If you lose again and go to Houston, the series will be dragged on for a long time and may even be overturned.

"I will put Jokic on the bench."

Stevens went on.

Tang Tian nodded.

Jokic's defense against Cousins ​​is not as effective, and he now decides that one-on-one with Harden will consume more energy than before.

He exits early, so Jokic needs to come in early to organize.

And Jokic is very professional, unlike Whiteside before, as long as Stevens made it clear, he should not be emotional.

On the day of the game, the Rockets arrived in New Orleans, and D'Antoni arranged only one or two hours of adaptive training.

The Rockets look very good.

"I still have confidence in the team and they will continue to play as they did last time."

D'Antoni also said the same thing before the media.

As a head coach, he must show this confidence to the outside world.

That night, the fans held up the logo and shouted the slogan "Pelican Championship" into the stadium.

It was regrettable to fail to sweep the Rockets, but being able to end the series at home is also a very good thing.

"Today, I think the Pelicans are likely to make adjustments again. Their past two games against Harden have not been so effective."

Zhang Weiping began to explain the hot field early on the broadcast seat in the stadium.

"What does Zhang mean?"

Yang Yi on the side spoke.

"I think they will probably use Tang Tian to defend Harden."

After Zhang Weiping finished speaking, he did not wait for Yang Yi to follow up, and then explained again immediately.

"You see, use Tangtian to defend Harden, then the others will be liberated? Then Paul and Cousins ​​must not be able to play like the previous two games, will the game become easier?

Zhang Weiping analyzed it and showed his iconic smile.

Yang Yi aside, laughing and beating haha.

Obviously, he did not agree with Zhang Weiping's statement.

Playoff star offense is too important, especially in the era of pursuit of offense. Few coaches will use team superstars to defend opponents' superstars.

Zhang Weiping's thoughts are still in his own era, and they are outdated.

The two are talking, starting players on both sides have already appeared.

The Pelicans have a starting adjustment here, Biyombo replaced Jokic as the starting center.

Biyombo overtook Cousins ​​and officially kicked off the game.

Hollodi held the ball over the half, Tang Tian and Ariza had no ball pick-and-rolls.

After Tang Tian's defender changed to Harden, Hollodi followed the ball and pulled the defender away.

This is the obvious singles tactic.

Tang Tian threatened the ball with three threats.

Harden was too heavy to keep up with Tang Tian's speed and had no time to look back.

Tang Tian easily made a layup and scored.

Cheers continued.

Harden's perimeter defensive ability was not good at all. In front of Tang Tian, ​​his eyes were full of attributes.

The Rockets' offense advanced to the frontcourt. Harden took a look at the frontcourt and found that his defender had changed from Ariza to Tang Tian.

When Yang Yi saw this scene, his expression was obviously stupefied.

"Look, let me just say, the Pelicans' choice is very reasonable."

Zhang Weiping said with a laugh.

He was too involved and didn't notice the embarrassment of Yang Yi beside him.

Paul's breakthrough was missed by Davis' cooperative defense and Davis grabbed the rebound.

The Pelicans don't have to spend heavily to defend Harden, and the defense against Paul and Cousins ​​is obviously better than the first two games.

Zhang Weiping is not only a reasonable emperor, but also decades of commentary experience, he also clearly understands the ball.

The Pelicans' counterattack failed to land, and Tang Tian continued to look for Harden.

The Rockets didn't change, but if they didn't change, it would give Tang Tian an offensive space. He took a pass from Hollodi and pulled out.

"Oh!"

Giving a superstar such a large offensive space is equivalent to sending points.

The Rockets 'offense, Cousins' midway breakthrough was covered by Davis 'defense. After Biyongbo protected the defensive rebounds, the Rockets' offense returned again.

The Rockets retreated quickly, the Pelicans battled, and Tang Tian continued to change direction after switching to Harden.

Harden couldn't help it.

Cousins ​​came out of the defense, and Tang Tian passed a close pass to Biyongbo, who slammed the dunk with no hands to defend.

These times have synthesized the epitome of the two sides after the opening.

Harden hasn't attacked since Tang Tian's marking, Paul and Cousins ​​have been heavily focused and inefficient, and the Rockets' offense is obviously not as smooth as in the previous two games.

Reversing to the defensive end, the Pelicans have been playing Harden with Tang Tian. Harden couldn't prevent it. He has so many defenses that he can do highlights.

The other members of the Rockets did not dare to defend, and it was an assist when Tang Tian was ready ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Although Biyongbo's finishing ability is not as good as Jokic, and occasionally there will be butter hands, but his defense is against Cousins The restrictions are obviously better.

The Rockets' offense and defense were suppressed. In less than half a quarter, the field goal was 8-20.

D'Antoni said several times that the team would continue the performance of the previous two games, but things proved that he was not counted.

The Pelicans' adjustment once again changed the situation.

And D'Antoni's response on the court is as lagging as in the previous games.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Harden chose to attack by himself.

Consecutive change of direction breakthrough and then retreat, he fully exerted his offensive skills.

But Tang Tian kept up with it, and the defense after putting him out put a lot of pressure.

Harden was forced to adjust the angle of his shot, and he shot straight.

There was a lot of noise at the scene.

Holloday missed a 3-pointer from Tang Tian's pass and Cousins ​​scored a rebound.

The Rockets attacked the frontcourt, Harden continued to play Tang Tian with the ball.

This time he chose to break through, leaning on Tang Tian's body, trying to make Tang Tian's foul.

However, Tang Tian had already taken precautions. After avoiding, he waited for his shot and reached out to cover.

"boom!"

Tang Tian flew the ball out of the field with a big hat.

After he blocked shots, in order to improve the momentum at home, he also reached out to the audience and made his long unused finger shake.

There was a lot of noise at the scene.

Harden's face was all black. He basically took a step to prevent Tang Tian, ​​but he hit Tang Tian either by three touches or by being shot. This was really blown up!

Many people have previously questioned Tang Tian's election as the best defensive player this season, but it turns out that Keyboard Man is just Keyboard Man. Only the players who actually play against him know his terror.
