Chapter 156： Rookie Tricky

Seeing the Thunder start early, Popovich also got up and called Green and Parker to replace Tang Tian and Ginobili.

Thanks to Tang Tian's strong play against Jackson, the Spurs held a stalemate in the first half, and the two sides reached 45 draws after halftime.

In the second half, Parker, who didn't play much in the first half, ushered in an explosion. His consecutive fast-break layups and throws directly helped the Spurs build a double-digit lead.

Despite Durant hitting a long shot in succession to help the home team chase points, but the stable output of Duncan and Ginobili still made the Spurs laugh at the end 95-90.

Durant scored a game-high 32 points, Westbrook also had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but Harden only played 8 points and 5 assists.

On the Spurs' side, Parker had the team's highest 23 points and 7 assists, Duncan had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Ginobili had 15 points and 5 assists, and Blair had 12 points and 6 rebounds.

Tang Tian also got a chance to play again in the second half. He got a chance outside the three-point line and scored another goal. He played 10 minutes in the game and scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 4 steals on 2 shots.

The Spurs' locker room was full of joy and laughter.

"It's a good job. If you do such a good job, the old man might make you starter." Ginobili twirled on Tang Tian's shoulder.

"I started to invite the whole team to eat pizza." Tang Tian also responded with rumors.

At this moment, Tang Tian felt that his head had been touched by someone. He looked back at Duncan and looked at him kindly.

This guy didn't touch Parker enough during the game, he ran directly to touch him!

The flag was won and the Spurs had a very good start in the lockout season.

With the joy of winning, the Spurs returned to San Antonio, their second preseason opponent was the Pistons.

There is a four-day break between them. Because of winning, the atmosphere is very harmonious when the team is training.

Popovich also seized the time to allow Tang Tian to adapt to their tactics. After this day of training, Budenholzer alone pulled them in the office to make up for the tactics.

In the locker room, Parker, Duncan and Ginobili were in three rows in the shower room.

Jefferson finished ahead of schedule and suddenly said, "We haven't prepared gifts for rookies this year?"

His opening immediately attracted a whistle from other teammates.

There is an unwritten rule in the NBA that when rookies arrive on the team, they will suffer the trickery of the old players. The most famous one is Arenas, who soaked all the clothes and shoes of rookie André Brace in the bathtub. Here, he even pulled a lot of **** in his sneakers.

Of course, this is only an extreme situation. The general trick is nothing more than to ask rookies to buy them food such as donuts or burgers, or to let rookies help old players carry bags.

Although the Spurs have a better atmosphere in the team, it is inevitable. Parker had given Duncan and Ginobili a bag.

This is already a custom in the NBA, and even an experience.

"Let them buy donuts for us," Blair said. Donuts are a favorite food for all Americans.

"Yes, a great offer. I want to eat the doughnuts that the" Godfather "bought for me." Ginobili just finished washing at this time and said directly.

His words immediately caused a burst of laughter in the dressing room.

"No, that's too boring. Last year James (Anderson) bought us doughnuts." Jefferson shook his head.

"What do you suggest?" Ginobili looked at Jefferson.

"I saw Don was driving to train before. How about stuffing a popcorn car?" Jefferson said.

His opening, another whistle suddenly in the locker room, popcorn is almost every team's favorite.

"No, Richard, that's not fair. Leonard and Joseph have no cars," Green reminded.

"That should be more, he only bought a car in the first year." Jefferson continued.

His words also attracted a wave of echoes from his teammates. Many NBA players are from poor families. Tang Tian rookie was easily jealous when he bought a car in the first year.

"Or carry bags, so that each of them has a share." Green proposed.

"Danny, that won't work, we have decided." Jefferson directly rejected Green.

"Popcorn! Popcorn!" The players started coaxing in the dressing room.

Ginobili can only shake his head with a wry smile, it seems that Tang Tian's new car will suffer.

Green and Tang Tian had the best relationship. Jefferson originally wanted him to go, but Green refused. Ginobili also said that he was not interested. Jefferson could only go on his own.

The next day, Tang Tian went to the locker room to change his training uniform, and Jefferson walked towards him.

"Tang, there is something wrong with my car. I'm in a hurry. Will you lend me your car?" Jefferson said when he came over.

Tang Tian was stunned when he heard this. Jefferson was very indifferent to him before. Why did he suddenly find himself borrowing a car?

In terms of relationships, everyone else in the Spurs has a better relationship than them. Www.novelhall.com ~ He glanced at his eyes, only to find that his teammates were looking at him.

He was a coach in his previous life, and soon understood what Jefferson wanted to do. Is this a trick for rookies?

It was not uncommon for him to teach when he was coaching. When borrowing a car, was he going to popcorn?

In fact, he is not against this trick. If Green or Ginobili comes, he will give the key even if he knows. After all, this kind of thing is in a certain sense beneficial to the team atmosphere, and In his words, at most, it drove the car to wash once.

But Jefferson, who gave him a bad impression before, did not want to give him this face.

"My car forgot to refuel." Tang Tian replied.

As soon as he said this, there was a boo in the locker room, and obviously Jefferson's failure was despised by them.

Leonard and Joseph looked dazed, they didn't know what had happened.

Jefferson's face was not very good-looking, he hadn't even finished the whole thing, and he couldn't hold his face.

"Richard, let them carry the bag." Green said at this moment.

Jefferson did not move.

"Okay, Richard, I'll train immediately, and the old man will come later." Ginobili also followed.

Jefferson heard Ginobili talking, and then sat back a little unhappy.

"What bag?" Joseph said suspiciously.

"Child, you will know when the training is over." Ginobili used to pat him on the shoulder.

There was a sudden burst of laughter in the locker room. Most of them didn't really care what method they used. Tricky this kind of thing. Just focus on a process and a sense of ritual.
