Chapter 588 Durant's Season Reimbursement (Fourth Update!)

Tang Tian's answer aroused heated discussions from the outside world.

Obviously, what he said is more targeted than the so-called "referee report" released by the league.

Many fans asked the league officials about this issue.

Because it is more effective to change the penalty during the game than to hold the referee accountable after the game.

Moreover, Tang Tian's words also said that it refers to the last two minutes.

There are 48 minutes in a basketball game, but many fierce games are won in the last two minutes.

If such a change can be made, the fairness of the game will be greatly improved.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Xiao Hua answered this question as a representative of the league.

"We'll try it in the G League, allow coaches to challenge referees, and we'll see if that works for the league."

This answer encouraged the fans.

While not imminent, it at least looks like a positive sign.

Tang Tian was also a little surprised when he saw the news, but he seemed to understand it.

Last season, Xiao Hua went his own way, which led to his bad image among fans.

He has learned a lot from a pitfall.

The next night, the Pelicans ushered in a game against the Nets.

It's also their first game of the new year.

Davis had a shootaround on the court before the game, and his return doesn't look like it's too far away.

The Pelicans and the Nets made a deal during the offseason. Before the game, Tang Tian also went to say hello to Anderson.

Although the Nets have a poor record, Anderson is in a good mood, averaging 18+ points per game, setting a new career high.

The tree moved the dead and the living, for Anderson, the summer deal was absolutely a good thing for him.

The Pelicans aim for a winning streak, but the Nets played much better than expected.

Anderson scored three-pointers in the opening game, and then Bojan Bogdanovic, who was on the bench, also scored consecutive three-pointers.

At halftime, the Nets led the Pelicans 50-44.

The turning point of the game happened in the second half. The Pelicans adjusted their tactics, and Tang Tian began to single-play Anderson with infinite dislocations.

You're a nice guy, but the NBA game is brutal.

The Pelicans also took advantage of the situation to overturn the score and finally won the game 106-91.

Anderson contributed the most 20 points for the Nets, and Bo Yang from the bench scored 18 points with 6 three-pointers.

For the Pelicans, Tang Tian contributed 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in a quasi-triple-double.

Although Christmas has passed, the starters of the Pelicans have become accustomed to giving way to Tang Tian, ​​and his rebounding data has increased significantly compared to before.

After the game, Tang Tian stayed in the arena to practice shooting.

Although he won the game, his touch tonight was not good. This kind of extra training after the game is a good way to adjust his shooting touch.

But at this moment, he found that he was not the only one left behind.

There are also team consultant Steve Nash and teenager Dinwiddie.

After passing on the training methods to the Pelicans during the offseason, Nash actually didn't come to the team very many times.

This is also the degree of freedom the team gave him.

He came to the team today, but he didn't expect to stay after the game to coach Dinwiddie's shooting.

This is relatively rare.

After Tang Tian practiced a few sets of shots, he saw that Nash was still guiding Dinwiddie patiently and walked over there.

He watched from the sidelines for a while, and soon noticed something special.

Nash is not only teaching Dinwiddie to shoot, but also teaching him passing skills and game experience on the field.

It didn't look like a shooting coach, it looked like a mentor.

Nash noticed that Tang Tian was looking at him, turned his head and smiled at him, told Dinwiddie a few words, and then walked to the sidelines.

"Your shooting is very stable. Occasional inaccuracies are normal, so don't worry too much about it."

Nash thought Tang Tian was waiting for him to talk about shooting, so he came over and said.

"I know."

Tang Tian smiled and nodded, Nash misunderstood what he meant.

"Do you like Spencer?"

he asked next.

"He? Yes, he is a serious kid, just like Golan."

Nash nodded with a smile.

Tang Tian glanced at Nash in surprise, he didn't expect the latter to compare Dinwiddie and Dragic.

Dragic is a disciple taught by Nash.

"He's going to be in this league."

Nash continued.

Tang Tian nodded and said nothing more.

Although I don't know what happened between Nash and Dinwiddie, but Nash is indeed guiding Dinwiddie.

This is obviously a good thing for the Pelicans.

Compared with the current backup point guard Cole, Dinwiddie, a tall point guard, has a significantly higher upper limit.

History has changed, and the difficulty of winning the championship is obviously higher than in history.

For the Pelicans to stand out, they need to be strong at every position, including the bench.

After the game between the Pelicans and the Nets, on another court, the Thunder also competed with the Rockets.

Thunder star Durant returned in this game. This is another game where the third brother beats the former big brother and second brother.

The Thunder were strong last season, and the Rockets were obviously not their opponents. This season, the Rockets are stronger and the Thunder are weaker. Both sides have the power to fight.

The game was also very intense.

Although Durant has just returned from injury, he played very hard.

In addition to the poor situation of the Thunder, there is a more important reason, the Pelicans won the Rockets!

And not only did Davis not play, Tang Tian also got a triple-double!

He experienced a desperate season last season and suffered injuries during the offseason. He finally came back, because he really wanted to get back what he lost last season.

So Tang Tian won the opponent, he must not lose!

During the intermission, the team doctor found Durant and reminded him to pay attention to his right foot and not to exert too much force.

Durant nodded and didn't pay much attention.

The two teams stalemate to the last moment.

Durant's three-pointer helped the Thunder establish a key three-point lead, but Harden immediately made a step-back three-pointer to tie the score.

Just when Durant was about to stand up again, an unexpected situation happened on the court.

Beverley has a very aggressive top play when switching on him.

Durant was knocked over and fell to the ground, covering his right foot with his hand and expressing pain.

That's where he got injured in the offseason.

After the team doctor communicated with Durant, he brought a wheelchair, and Durant left the game in a wheelchair.

This unexpected situation made the outcome of the game meaningless.

The MRI report after the game was positive. Durant had already had an injury to his right foot. This time, he was forced to undergo surgery for additional injuries.

This also means that he will miss all games this season and will be reimbursed for the season.

He wanted to compete with Tang Tian again, but he didn't expect that this time he failed to win the battle. If he wanted to fight back, he had to wait another season.

With Durant reimbursed for the season, the Thunder basically withdrew from the championship team.

ps: Ask for a monthly pass!
