One Man with the Ball, Nine Men Panicking

D'Antoni walked from the bench to the sideline, shouting reminders for his players to watch out for Tang Tian's passes.

He had realized that Tang Tian was different from the last time they faced each other.

On the Rockets' side, Cousins powered against Jokic in the low post, but Davis rotated over to contest and block him.

Ever since Brown became the First Assistant Coach, Davis had benefited the most. His help defense on the defensive end had been maximized.

The Pelicans brought the ball into the frontcourt, and Holiday directly handed it to Tang Tian to run Play 1.

The moment he got the ball, all five Rockets players panicked a little.

There were amateurs and experts among the spectators, but the players on the court felt it most keenly.

Tang Tian's passing tonight was simply too lethal.

It was fast and accurate, and most importantly, it came with flair.

Paul occasionally turned his head to remind his teammates about their positioning. He had matched up against Nash before, so he understood this feeling better than anyone.

Tang Tian assumed a Triple Threat stance and glanced toward the paint, making Tucker unable to resist looking back.

But in that instant, Tang Tian suddenly crossed over to the right.

When Tucker turned back, he saw Tang Tian dart past him at lightning speed.

He turned to chase, but Tang Tian had already driven near the free-throw line and knocked down a Pull-up Jumper.

The increase in his passing brought another immediate change: defenders found it even more troublesome to guard Tang Tian.

They did not dare to double-team him at all, yet they were nervous even in On-Ball Defense.

D'Antoni rested a hand against his chin and looked back at Buzdrik.

He truly did not understand defense all that well.
