Chapter 1329 Metaphysics

Durant's consecutive scoring helped the Pelicans regain the situation, but Vogel's reaction speed was not slow.

He reached out and called a timeout. After the timeout came back, James defended Durant and Randall assisted.

This kind of defense is very strong. Although Durant is very strong, he is not Tang Tian after all, and his scoring efficiency has declined.

However, after the defensive pressure on the inside dropped, Davis began to have a chance to play.

After catching the ball, he turned around and hit the board, after grabbing the offensive rebound, he made a second attack, and even made a flying dunk.

With Durant heavily defended, Davis showed fans his progress.

And this kind of progress made up for the strength gap between Tang Tian and Durant to a certain extent.

The two teams have also been deadlocked in the score.

With a minute to go before the end of the game, the score on the field was 103.

The Lakers called a timeout.

Vogel arranged a singles tactic for James.

After losing weight, James' scoring has increased significantly. Now he has 33 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. This is a feeling of returning to the young James.

After the timeout, the Lakers replaced both Simmons and Horford, let Randle play the fifth position, and the other positions were all shooters.

At the critical moment, Vogel also used a one-star shooting style.

James held the ball at the top of the arc and slammed in.

The Pelicans didn't double-team, and Stevens knew James liked to pass.

But this time James chose to be tough, and scored the ball against Durant, which also caused the latter's defensive foul.

After scoring the goal, James punched and roared at the audience.

Although he praised Durant before the game, it was more for personal image.

It would not be refreshing for a teammate to surrender to the enemy, let alone someone else hugged him in the past.

Scoring this crucial 2+1 on Durant, his mood is quite carefree.

Stevens rubbed his forehead with his hands. He felt that there was something wrong with his tactical choice.

Tang Tian was also thoughtful at this time.

Durant is tall and has long arms, but he is still technically streamlined. Defense is not what he is good at.

This is why Durant has scored a lot in the first round over the years, but never scored in the first round of defense.

There are not many offensive and defensive superstars like him, Jordan, Leonard, and Kobe in history.

He glanced at the bench, and suddenly had a shrewd idea.

He had to chat with Stevens after the game.

The game is still going on.

Facing the interference from the fans at the scene, James' penalty was steadily missed.

Defensive rebound under Gasol protection.

Stevens had already arranged tactics during the timeout before, and seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Gasol gave the ball to Alexander.

Alexander advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, made a tactical gesture and played a pick-and-roll with Gasol, and the weak side Durant ran around without the ball.

A sudden point, the ball was given to Durant, Durant caught the ball and flicked past Randall, who was helping to defend, and made an emergency stop jumper near the free throw line.

"Shua!"

Although James scored a 2+1 earlier, Durant still showed a killer temperament and hit the key ball steadily.

The Lakers didn't call a timeout, and James went to the frontcourt to play the same tactic again. This time Davis on the weak side shrank, and James gave the ball to Randall.

Randall's mid-range shot near the baseline.

"Boom!"

The ball missed and Davis grabbed the defensive rebound.

Stevens reached out and called a timeout.

There are still 30 seconds before the end of the game, and the score on the field is 105.

In the past offense and defense, the Pelicans took the initiative on the field.

Back from the timeout, Davis hit back with the ball in a low position.

Randall couldn't defend alone, and Horford assisted in the defense.

At this moment, Gasol mentioned the free throw line and set up a pick-and-roll, Durant cut in, and Davis passed the ball.

Durant flew to the layup after receiving the ball, and James quickly chased and blocked the block.

But after being blocked by Gasol, he was obviously a little slow.

Durant shot, and his block hit Durant's hand.

The referee whistled, and Durant adjusted in the air and smashed the ball directly into the basket.

2+1!

The scene exploded.

This goal is beautiful and domineering!

Not only did it return James' previous 2+1, but it also made people see the shadow of Tang Tian in him!

Tang Tian smiled and applauded Durant.

His judgment is correct, Durant is really different from before.

This is human beings who grow up after going through ups and downs.

Durant adjusted his breathing and made a penalty hit.

108 to 105, the Pelicans got the most critical 3-point lead.

With only 10 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers called a timeout.

"Tang Tian's successor! Tang Tian's successor!"

During the timeout, fans shouted at Durant from the sidelines.

Durant was physically and mentally comfortable, but he almost spit out blood when he heard the shout.

Just like Tang Tian didn't like Tang Ritian at the beginning, he doesn't like this nickname either. Hey!

Back from the timeout, the Pelicans' defense was very outside.

The Lakers are 3 points behind, and they will most likely choose to shoot three-pointers.

Randall sent the ball from the sideline, James received the ball, and the Lakers had pick-and-roll tactics from the outside.

But the Pelicans' defense is really outside, and opportunities cannot come out.

James also responded decisively, seeing that there was no chance to directly hold the ball in from the three-point line.

This is a temporary change of tactics, grab a quick two points, and then fight the Pelicans for free throws.

There are still 8 seconds in the time, which is completely enough in theory.

James' ball quotient and reaction speed are really fast.

After seeing it, Alexander chased from behind, and when he saw James was about to make a layup, he immediately hugged him forcibly.

The referee blew his whistle and gave a physical foul.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Alexander was also stunned. He just wanted to send James to the free throw line. After all, the latter's free throws were unstable, and he didn't expect to be called a violation.

Stevens looked very ugly on the sidelines.

Not to mention the suspense in this game, which was accepted steadily and violating the body, it is very likely that they will give away the victory they get.

Nash also sighed aside, his disciple is still too lacking in experience.

This kind of ball would rather let James layup than foul.

But it was a done deal, James went to the free throw line, and Nash called Alexander aside for guidance.

Against the noise all over the sky, James made the first free throw and also made the second free throw.

At the critical moment, James played super-level.

And because they still have the ball, the Lakers will have a chance to kill the ball.

The situation on the court is really changing rapidly.

There was a commotion on the sidelines, and they missed Tang Tian again.

One must know that if Tang Tian was there, there might be a high probability of being able to steal James just now.

Stevens called the last timeout to set up the defense. After the timeout came back, he replaced Gasol with Siakam.

The Lakers sent a sideline ball from the front court, and James broke through with the ball.

Siakam tops the defense, Durant assists in the defense, and James breaks through to the free throw line for a throw.

After losing weight, his offensive options became more determined than before.

The ball was very difficult, but James shot it very steadily. The ball passed Siakam's fingertips, crossed a small parabola and landed on the basket.

At this time, the red light on the sidelines has been turned on, and the goal is a lore.

The ball did not go in or out immediately, but spun several times on the basket, and each circle touched the hearts of the audience.

Finally, after three laps of the ball...rolled out!

James' lore goal, missed!

Stevens took a long breath from the sidelines, the players on the Pelicans bench took a long breath, and the fans at the scene also took a long breath.

It really is luck.
