"Curry, calm down, pay attention to the position of James and me. Tim is too deterrent in the defensive line. The perimeter is our opportunity. The old man is a player who likes to play with his brain." Tang Tian said to Joseph at this time Reminded.
Since Duncan took the first ball, Joseph has been desperately trying to score.
Tang Tian knew that he wanted to prove himself in front of Popovich, but his performance was not only about scoring. His words reminded him in a timely manner.
"I see." Joseph nodded, and he did have some brain heat just now.
Duncan is holding the ball in the high post. He hasn't looked at the rim. Obviously, he doesn't want to abuse the team's benches too badly. At the beginning of the season, the players' self-confidence is still important.
In response to Duncan's free throw line, the ball was given to Air Cut Green.
Green flies for a layup.
But at the moment when he shot, Tang Tian kicked up from behind him, and slapped his shot fan out of the field.
"Oh!" Ginobili exclaimed on the sidelines first.
"A beautiful defense," Budenholzer praised.
The performance of the bench group is difficult to achieve, but the only bright point is probably Tang Tian's defense.
Green then smiled bitterly at Tang Tian.
Tang Tian also smiled in response. Green's offense was good, but what he said on the court had nothing to do with him.
The starting sideline ball came out, Tang Tian followed Green to give no chance, Duncan and Parker did not want to attack, the ball gave Jefferson, after Jefferson broke through Anderson's tough layup to score, the muscle in that body let The two seem to be totally at one level.
"We replaced the defense. Green was on the three-point line most of the time. Just follow him and don't get thrown away." Tang Tian said at this time and Anderson.
Anderson nodded. He had been bumped enough by Jefferson just now, and he was not as tall as Tang Tian.
The offense of the bench group is still the same tactic, Joseph hurled inward with the ball.
The players in the starting group shrank inward. In the previous few contracts, Cerf was so brutal, they have become used to it.
But at this moment, the situation changed suddenly, Joseph chose to score after hitting the bottom of the basket!
The ball was in Tang Tian's hands, Tang Tian received the ball, and Green flew and fluttered.
"A good defense." Budenholzer commented again.
Green had fewer chances to play in the Spurs last season and only played a total of 8 games. This season because of George Hill's departure, the bench lacked firepower. Popovich intentionally returned Ginobili to the bench. Green Demonstrated the potential of a 3D player for a limited time last season and thus got a start.
From this point of view, Popovich's decision is still wise.
But in the next second, something unexpected happened for Budenholzer.
Tang Tian's shot was a fake. When Green flew over, he took the ball and took a step to the side. After Green flew by, he shot at the frame.
"Oh!"
The three-pointer hit the net.
Tang Tian finally helped the bench team break the scoring drought!
"Good," Popovich said at this time.
In the face of back defense, he was not in a hurry, Tang Tian's performance was very suitable to his taste.
After seeing the goal, Joseph was also a bit excited, and turned back to Tang Tian and gave a high-five.
"He can drive teammates." Budenholzer continued to speak, Tang Tian asked Joseph to speak before he saw it.
The starting group advanced to the frontcourt, and Parker was let out outside the three-point line. He hesitated and didn't shoot. He gave the ball to Duncan. Duncan went on to pass Jefferson.
"Snapped!"
But at this moment, Tang Tian suddenly shot from Jefferson's side and broke the ball directly!
Duncan's mind was guessed by Tang Tian. He had previously passed a series of **** to Jefferson and Green, and he was prejudged.
After Tang Tian intercepted the ball, he gave it to Joseph, who held the ball to fight back.
After Tang Tian lost weight, he quickly moved forward, and immediately followed Joseph's fast break.
Joseph had no chance to be caught up by Parker. After calming down, he did not choose to force it. He turned around and saw Tang Tian following up, throwing the ball out.
Tang Tian caught the ball and shot quickly before Jefferson chased it.
A summer of hard work made him shoot faster and Jefferson missed it.
"Oh!"
The ball went hollow again.
Tang Tian scored two 3-pointers in succession!
Ginobili had whistled on the sidelines.
With two consecutive defensive successes and two three-pointers, the overall strength of the bench group was weak, but it perfectly showed Tang Tian's strength.
Jefferson came to the front and leaned against Tang Tian to get the ball, which was a singles.
Parker gave the ball in.
Tang Tian at this moment sinks his weight to Jefferson.
Jefferson pushed back a few times before pushing in.
He looks solid, but his weight is almost the same as before Tang Tian's weight loss. After Tang Tian's weight loss and muscle gain, the confrontation did not drop much. Tang Tian's confrontation, he wanted to turn around to break through, but Tang Tian first snatched the position, and finally had to choose to turn around and lean back.
Tang Tian responded quickly and saved the disturbance immediately.
"boom!"
Jefferson's shot was disturbed and then missed. Diop stuck at this time to Blair and took the defensive rebound.
The bench has been guarded again.
"I'm here to defend." Back on the defensive end, Jefferson took the initiative to find Green to change defenses.
Jefferson guarded Tang Tian from giving no chance. Joseph gave Anderson. Anderson's shot was missed by Green and Duncan took the rebound.
Looking back at Parker and Duncan's pick-and-roll, Diop and Joseph's defensive attention were all attracted by Duncan, and Anderson was forced to shrink to the basket to defend.
Parker threw the ball to Green on the weak side without a pass.
"Snapped!"
But at this moment, it was Tang Tian again, he suddenly shot from the oblique side, continuously stealing!
His hard-working dynamic vision finally worked. Parker's passing was unexpected enough, but he was still caught.
The bench made another fast break, and Joseph made a fast-break layup this time after receiving a pass from Tang Tian.
After being attacked by a wave of 10 to 0, the bench returned to the starting group of 8 to 0!
"Oh, oh!" Ginobili had already found himself at this time to like Tang Tian.
"He has the ability to play rotations." Budenholzer gave a very high evaluation when he saw here.
Popovich nodded, but he was more daring than Budenholzer.
Tang Tian can defend the second and third positions, and the three-pointer is stable. He seems to be more suitable for starting than Green?
This is Popovich, and he found that a good seed will never be wasted, even if he is just a rookie.
