Chapter 752 You Are a Genius (First Update!)

The Pelicans' opponent in the first game after the All-Star break is the Suns.

The Suns have basically given up this season and now focus on training Porzingis.

They didn't cause the Pelicans too much trouble in this game.

At the end of the three quarters, the score difference was more than 20 points, which also made the last quarter a garbage time.

There was no suspense about the outcome of the game, but some fans discovered that Tang Tian had a double-double of 20 points and 11 assists in the third quarter.

Tang Tian's passing is not bad, but he is by no means a passing expert. Most of his previous assists were passes after using his strong personal offensive power to attract double teams.

Some sharp-eyed fans on the hotline discovered that Tang Tian's vision and accuracy in passing the ball were better than in the past.

But only a few fans discovered this. After all, getting a double-double in assists was not a big deal for Tang Tian, ​​let alone the opponent was a weak Suns team.

But compared to those fans, the real surprise was the Pelicans players.

An easy victory, a three-quarter game, but Tang Tian stayed alone in the gym after the game, conducting passing training with the help of Nash.

Stevens was also surprised, but he was more pleased.

He scored a double-double in the third quarter, led the team to a big victory, and still held such strict demands on himself after the game.

With the core of the team at this level, it will be difficult for this team not to win.

But this time they misunderstood Tang Tian.

Tang Tian picked up new skills and practiced them through competitions, but he still found many problems after one game.

Because Nash was in Phoenix, Tang Tian took the time to ask him to help improve his passing skills.

Dedicated and refined, Nash's understanding of passing is much deeper than Procopio's.

"You need to control your wrist. That's the key to passing. It's like shooting. It guarantees you a passing angle..."

Nash is now imparting his passing experience.

The skills given by the system only provide abilities. To really let him show his strength, he needs to add his own understanding.

In basketball technology, there is much more creativity than scoring.

Tang Tian was training according to Nash's requirements. Because his abilities were there, he could master many moves very quickly.

Nash was stunned for a moment.

"God, you are a genius!"

Nash couldn't help but exclaimed.

He is a historical point guard, and his understanding of passing technology is the best.

This is a skill that takes time to develop, which is also the origin of the saying that point guards become more sophisticated as they get older.

"Yes, I am a genius."

Tang Tian said jokingly.

Of course he couldn't talk about skills.

Nash was amused by Tang Tian and laughed.

Although Tang Tian was joking, there was nothing wrong with his words.

Although Tang Tian is not like James or Magic, he is the chosen one as soon as he enters the league.

But his progress every year is quite astonishing, and he is also a type of genius.

The day after the game ended, the Pelicans returned to New Orleans.

In the first training session after returning, they met Stephenson who had completed his physical examination.

With a beard on his face, he was born in 1990 and was only 26 years old. He entered the league in the same year as Tang Tian.

But maybe it's because of his wandering around in recent years that he looks like a veteran.

After he came in, he greeted his teammates one by one. He looked very happy with his black face and white teeth.

"Boss, I'm here to win the championship."

Stephenson finally greeted Tang Tian, ​​speaking like a boss, and what he said caused bursts of laughter from his teammates.

Tang Tian couldn't help but laugh.

After he finished laughing, he turned to look at Boyang. Boyang was a competitor!

Stephenson is here to fill Morrow's rotation position.

However, because of the huge difference in technical characteristics, Stevens positioned him as the second organizational point of the bench lineup.

This is the result of a joint discussion between the coaching staff.

Stephenson, like Dinwiddie, is a ball-handling player, but he is obviously not as stable as Dinwiddie.

Allowing him to hold the ball for a short period of time allows him to play to his strengths without getting too messy.

Stevens is really like Popovich in terms of knowing people and making good use of them.

And this has proven to work.

In the following week, the Pelicans continued their winning streak, defeating the Nuggets, Lakers and Pistons.

Counting those before the All-Star Game, they ushered in their third 12-game winning streak of the season.

Stephenson's statistics in these three games are 7 points, 2 assists and 1 turnover, 9 points, 3 assists and 2 turnovers, and 8 points, 2 assists and no turnovers.

It can be seen from the data that he has integrated very well.

The team started a new winning streak, Stephenson also integrated well, and the Pelicans' performance in the All-Star Game was as stable as ever.

But these fans are already used to it. What really makes them happy is Tang Tian's passing, which is really an improvement visible to the naked eye.

It's not just about the accuracy and stability of passing, he even started to play tricks.

In a recent victory over the Pistons, he made a crotch pass while running, which directly aroused the fans' emotions.

The three most entertaining skills in a basketball game are the long three-pointer, the dunk from behind, and the pass.

Dazzling passes can also make people burst with adrenaline.

Tang Tian, ​​who can both score and pass, makes the fans even crazier.

"Calm down, guys, they're just messing around!"

But Barkley remained calm and shouted on the TNT show.

Although he has a big mouth, what he said makes sense.

The Pelicans experienced a wave of devilish schedule before the All-Star break, and the schedule after the All-Star break became easier again.

The weaker the opponent, the worse the defense. These skills are indeed not that eye-catching.

"The next game is the highlight."

Buckley continued to yell.

The Pelicans' next opponent is the Rockets.

The current Rockets are no longer the same team as the Rockets that played against each other last time.

I don’t know what method Morey used privately. The conflict between Paul and Cousins ​​​​has been resolved, and Cousins ​​​​is playing very focused.

And with the reinforcement of Morris, their strength has reached a higher level.

Like the Pelicans, their record since the All-Star break is also a four-game winning streak.

After Morris came to the Rockets, he became the starting power forward, averaging 11.6 points and 5.3 rebounds per game. It is a bit good to be able to produce these statistics next to the Big Three.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Rockets are now at least 20% stronger than before.

It will be difficult for the Pelicans to win as easily as last time.

This is what Barkley calls the highlight.

This game is played at the Toyota Center, and the Rockets players are eager to try.

They haven't won against the Warriors and Pelicans this season. This game is their opportunity, and they can't wait.

But what they may not have expected is that Tang Tian from the Pelicans also had the same idea.

After four games, he has fully grasped his passing ability, and now he wants to find a strong team to test it.

The administrator is organizing an event in the book review area again. The last chapter review said that many people should win awards. You can pay attention to the pinned event post. The rewards are quite generous.
