Chapter 191： In-team suspension (four / five)

The announcement of the All-Star bench and the list of individual events has attracted a wave of heated discussion from the outside world.

Tang Tian also paid attention to this list, and he was dumbfounded when he saw Durant participating.

"The Trumpet Incident" he knew, because of the internal competition in Nike, Durant was very upset with him and he also knew.

This time participating in the three-point contest, which makes this three-point contest meaning different.

Judging by Durant's performance in the "Trumpet Incident", if he wins this game, it might be more than just a triumph. It is estimated that the tail will be in the sky.

In other words, this became a game that Tang Tian could not lose.

Tang Tian is confident in his three-pointer, but he still started preparation training for the three-point contest with the help of Procopio.

25 three-point attempts in one minute, this is the most difficult part of the three-point contest, if the shot is slow or the rhythm is not good, it is easy to shoot low points.

Training is necessary, but for him, it is also a matter of adapting quickly.

The All-Star Game is on February 25th, about 10 days before the official start.

The Spurs still have five games in the middle, with an average of two games a day, the intensity is not small.

Although the intensity is high, but Ginobili returns to the bench depth after the return, the Spurs performance is also very stable, the first 4 games scored 3 wins and 1 loss.

With this wave of stable performance, the Spurs continue to suppress the Thunder to occupy the first position in the West.

Because the distance between Milwaukee and Minneapolis is not far away, after finishing the game with the Bucks, the Spurs chartered to Minneapolis that night.

There they will play the last game before the All-Star game with the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves' performance this season is not much different from previous seasons.

After Garnett left the team, the team seemed to be under a spell, no matter what lineup it seemed to have nothing to do with the playoffs.

Fortunately, their fourth pick this year, Derek Williams, performed well.

After entering February, he lost weight and changed to the third position, and also successfully entered the team's starting lineup.

So far, they have averaged 12.5 points and 4 rebounds. The field goal percentage is more than 47%, and there is a lot of competition for the best rookie of the month.

The next morning, Popovich arranged for the team's daily training.

The All-Star game lasts for a weekend, and there are about 4 days of rest before and after, which is absolutely good news for the Spurs.

During the training, the players communicated with each other a lot, with smiles from time to time, and they seemed to be in a good mood.

But not everyone. Jefferson's expression was serious from the beginning of the training. Before the training was over, he sat on the sidelines and rested early.

At the end of the training, the team members returned to the locker room to take a shower, and Jefferson sat there in a daze.

At this time, a local reporter from Minneapolis found him and walked straight over.

"Hey, Richard, you don't seem to be in a good mood?" The reporter asked after he passed.

"No, why? The team's record is good, we are now the first in the West." Jefferson barely squeezed a smile.

"But you don't look too happy." The reporter said with a smile.

"Okay." Jefferson glanced at the reporter, then said with a wry smile.

"Is it because of playing time? You played the game. If I remember correctly, it seems to be only 15 minutes?" The reporter asked.

As a journalist, you must be well prepared to be excellent.

Jefferson smiled bitterly, not 15 minutes. He was preparing for 13 minutes and 24 seconds. It was his new low for the season, and he only got a total of 3 phone meetings.

He complained to Popovich after Ginobili's comeback, but it didn't work.

Instead, he was subjected to a training session by Popovich and further compression of playing time.

The complaints in his heart have accumulated for a long time.

After the last training session, there was no room to even complain with his teammates. At this time, he and the reporter were the only two. He finally couldn't hold back.

"Yes, I don't know what happened. I'm in good shape and in good health," Jefferson said.

The reporter was instantly excited when he heard it.

Harmony within the Spurs team, there are very few news that can be tapped, but this one seems to be an absolute big news.

"You are the fourth most paid player in the team, second only to Duncan, Ginobili and Parker, but your playing time is the least in the rotation."

The reporter continued.

Jefferson nodded bitterly.

"What happened? Even the rookie time of Don and Leonard exceeded you." The reporter's questions deepened step by step.

"I don't know. It was the coach's decision. I don't know what happened."

Jefferson spread his hands helplessly.

The reporter just resonated with him. If it is GDP, even Green, he feels acceptable.

But now his time is more divided between Tang Tian and Leonard.

"Perhaps the team wants to train newcomers, you know the core age of the team is not small." The reporter continued.

"Maybe." Jefferson smiled helplessly.

"But it's not fair. The sacrificed person, like you, you are still at the peak ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Jefferson nodded, glanced at the reporter, and wished to hug her in my heart Intimate.

The reporter has got the content he wants, and then said with a smile: "Be patient, I believe your efforts will earn you playing time."

"Maybe." Jefferson nodded bitterly.

At the end of the interview, Jefferson was in a good mood after looking for someone to talk to, and then got up and left the training hall.

That night, in the visiting team's locker room, the Spurs players were changing clothes, preparing for the game to start soon.

Ginobili is talking, and Parker is reminding the team that everything looks the same as usual.

"boom!"

At this moment, the door of the dressing room was pushed open, and Popovich walked in with a gloomy face.

The players looked at Popovich in surprise. This was probably the first time they saw the old man with such an ugly face.

Not even when the team loses.

I don't know what happened.

Budenholzer followed, and after coughing twice, announced the coaching staff's decision.

"Richard Jefferson will not appear tonight, Tang will replace him as a starting small forward."

Tang Tian is very popular with the team. His entry into the starting line is something to celebrate, but looking at Popovich's face, nobody really celebrated.

"why?"

Jefferson's clothes were changed, and at this time he stood up suddenly and said, Popovich is really too deceiving.

"What did you say in front of the reporter, would you like me to repeat it here?"

Popovich was furious when he saw the news, and he didn't save face for Jefferson.
