Chapter 10: Follow me, Clay! (Two + three / ten)

After the game with the Rockets, the Spurs boarded a plane to Auckland early the next morning.

They will usher in a back-to-back game with the Warriors.

The Warriors have made rapid progress this season, and their record of 8 wins and 4 losses so far has been very eye-catching.

After Bogut recovered from injury, Mark Jackson's defensive system was finally improved.

In addition, Curry and David Lee are completely healthy, and Klay Thompson is improving fast, and rookie Barnes has performed stably. They have great hopes of entering the playoffs this season.

Before the game started, Klay Thompson and Tang Tian greeted as usual before the game.

"Tang, this time I can finally stand in the same position as you and then defeat you!"

Thompson came up confident.

Obviously, the Warriors' current record and staffing gave him great self-confidence.

"Clay, don't talk too much before the game. I still remember you only scored 6 points last season."

Tang Tian is also a face-to-face battle. I'm worth your expression.

"Look! This time is different from before!"

Thompson is also a look that I am not afraid of you.

The warm-up before the game was over, and the two sides' debuts began one after another.

On the Warriors, outside Curry and Thompson, strikers Barnes and David Lee, center Bogut.

On the Spurs side, Tang Tian returned to the starting lineup in this game, outside Parker and Tang Tian, ​​striker Leonard and Duncan, center Split.

The Warriors have an excellent record today, and Oracle Arena has a very high attendance rate, exceeding 80%.

After the opening ceremony, the atmosphere was strong, and it was several gears stronger than the previous Toyota Center.

Tang Tian suddenly felt that playing in such a stadium is also a very good experience.

Speaking of that, before Ajiali Rana Dave also recruited him to the Warriors.

"Don, you are against Stephen Curry."

Popovich's words brought his thoughts back.

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

It seems that after the defensive performance of the last game, Popovich has forgotten that he scored 20+ in ten consecutive games.

But fortunately, he has not fully adapted to the ability of the no-fly zone (Mutombo), and it just needs a game to practice.

At the beginning of the game, Bogut won the first chance for the Warriors.

Curry gave the ball to David Lee of the free throw line after dribbling to the frontcourt.

Li turned around and played Duncan. After moving beautifully, he wiped the board and scored.

After Duncan got older, he was at a disadvantage for the technical big man.

The Spurs attacked the hammer tactics in the frontcourt. Thompson was close to Tang Tian. Parker's breakthrough was directly covered by Bogut.

The Warriors pushed the defensive counterattack for the first time, Curry passed the ball to Barnes, who succeeded in a fast layup.

The Warriors look different from last season. Mark Jackson began to embed more concepts of defensive counterattack for this team.

In the first year, the concept of defensive focus was planted, and in the second year, defensive counterattack was added.

Mark Jackson's coaching starts from the big picture, and his coaching ability is underestimated by many people.

"I won't give you a chance!"

Thompson is tangling Tang Tian defensively.

Tang Tian somehow knew what Thompson said differently.

With Barnes and Curry, Thompson is desperately looking for an offensive opportunity without driving, and if he is fully defensive, he is also the best in the league.

Leonard used Parker's pass to make a layup and was blocked by Bogut.

The Warriors played another defensive counterattack. Thompson threw Parker off to the frontcourt and took Curry's pass for a three-pointer.

"Oh!"

During the offseason, he worked hard with Tang Tian. Although his three-point score was not as good as Tang Tian's, he became more and more stable.

On the sidelines, the Warriors started 7-0 directly!

They are really different from before.

"Tony, they are familiar with hammer tactics."

As he moved forward, Tang Tian shouted to Parker.

Mark Jackson is a defensive coach. The Spurs have played hammer tactics for a season. The Warriors have done a lot in this regard.

Parker nodded and went to the front court to signal a pick-and-roll tactic.

Hammer tactics are the new signature of the Spurs, but they are not just a set of tactics!

Duncan and Split's high double pick and roll tactics.

Leonard opened the space in the corner, Parker broke through and Tang Tian also cut into the basket from the three-point line and then cut out.

This is one of the most common tactics in the NBA.

"I won't lose you!"

Thompson only looked at Tang Tian, ​​completely ignoring the others.

Tang Tian catches the ball and Thompson rushes over quickly.

However, Tang Tian didn't really shoot. After catching the ball, he threw his hands directly to the low pass on the right.

Parker's breakthrough and Tang Tian's running position touched almost all the defensive attention of the Warriors. No one noticed that Leonard, who had originally opened the space, had already cut into the basket!

A proper pass, Leonard's eyes widened after receiving the ball, directly accelerated to the layup and scored.

Spurs break the score shortage!

Thompson looked back in amazement.

"Clay, it's not long before the offseason, you won't forget so soon? I am different."

Tang Tian started to remind.

They played training games in the offseason, but he has been in the matchup with Thompson. Thompson knows that his pass becomes stronger.

"Yes, I remember."

Thompson turned around, his eyes more intense.

The Warriors' offense, Thompson and Barnes pulled apart.

Curry chose to greet Bogut's pick-and-roll.

Bogut's pick-and-roll quality is very high, much higher than Asik.

But still did not block Tang Tian.

Tang Tian is a slippery loach.

Curry was almost broken.

He chose to break the basket.

Now Curry, is still a combination of attacking defender play.

However, unlike the previous seasons, he changed his way of exerting force, which allowed him to use his full strength when he broke through.

high speed!

It's perfect to break through the timing!

He is averaging a career high of 23.5 points this season!

He is becoming the new core of the Warriors!

"Snapped!"

There was a crunch.

Tang Tian's steals!

Curry's breakthrough is too familiar.

After Walker was injured at Kangda, Tang Tian taught him how to use his hips and thighs.

The same way of exerting force, the same rhythm.

Even Walker's first step is faster than Curry.

Getting used to Walker, Curry's breakthrough was completely broken by Tang Tian.

Curry didn't focus on the hand, and the whole person lost his center of gravity and could not get back at all.

Tang Tian dribble the ball for a fast break, and after seeing Thompson coming over, he flicked the ball to Parker.

Parker dribbled to the frontcourt for a layup.

The Warriors opened a wave of 7-0, and the Spurs immediately returned a wave of 4-0!

Curry attacked again in the frontcourt, this time he used the gap between Bogut's pick-and-roll to make a quick shot.

The fastest shot in 0.4 seconds!

Shooting fast is his characteristic!

"boom!"

But he underestimated Tang Tian's speed around the pick-and-roll.

And Tang Tian is very aware of the difference between Curry and Harden, and there is no need to worry about Curry deliberately fouling him.

Tang Tian slammed hard after circumventing the pick and roll.

"boom!"

A big hat with a head on your face!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Steal first, then block!

Tang Tian completely suppressed Curry!

It's like suppressing Harden in the last game!

If they just felt a little bit in the last game, now they really realize that Tang Tian's defense has become stronger!

When a player who defends the second team becomes stronger, he will really become terrible on the defensive end!

Warriors' sideline ball.

Curry received the ball, he did not attack Tang Tian anymore.

He is different from Harden, he has no grievances with Tang Tian, ​​and he is very smart to play.

The ball was given to David Lee.

Lee continued to turn around to play Duncan, attracted Split's double-team goal and scored the ball to Bogut.

Bogut scored with a rebound.

In Li's words, this season's average assists per game is a career high, and his scoring and rebounding also exceed his career average.

After returning from his injury, he is re-entering the peak.

9 to 4.

The Warriors still have the lead on the field.

Duncan's rebounding shot was disturbed by Bogut and the rebound was also accepted by Li.

With Bogut, the Warriors' defense in the penalty area is no weaker than the Spurs.

"Come on! Warriors!"

Fans at the scene took the initiative to cheer, the Warriors are going to start.

Lee continued to hold the ball in high position, Leonard came to help defense.

Li directly gave the ball to Barnes.

Barnes caught the ball and flew to the layup.

"boom!"

But at the moment Barnes shot, a figure flew over and directly remembered the big hat of the nail board!

Tang Tian!

Barnes was stunned. He didn't expect Tang Tian, ​​who defended Curry on the outside, to rush into the inside to make up for the defense!

Didn't he know that Curry's empty three-pointer is stable?

Of course Tang Tian knows!

However, he also knows that this Warriors is not the Warriors of the infinite pass, Curry may have a chance, but the probability of Barnes passing is very small!

Now the Warriors' offense tactics are very monotonous, and there is very little mutual response when attacking!

This is why Mark Jackson, who had done so well in the previous life, would eventually be fired.

He couldn't fully exploit the offensive talent of this team!

After Tang Tian got the rebound, he passed it to Parker for the first time, and the Spurs defended.

This time he also followed quickly, with four hits and three in the frontcourt. He took Parker's pass and shot for a three-pointer.

"Oh!"

The hand fell.

7 to 9!

The Spurs have narrowed the point difference to 2 points!

During the Warriors' offense, Lee was successfully defended by Dior. The same technical big man, Dior was obviously more adaptable in defense.

Duncan protected the defensive rebound.

The Spurs advanced to the frontcourt. Tang Tian's three-point running attracted defense and directly found Dior in the top of the arc.

Dior's grandpa style three-pointer.

"boom!"

The basketball bounced into the net bag.

10 to 9!

The Spurs scored two three-pointers, directly overtaking the score!

Thompson ran back from the basket and Curry passed.

Thompson flew a layup, but at the moment he shot, he smelled a very familiar smell in the air.

"boom!"

Tang Tian's big defense cap directly covers the ball out of bounds!

Oracle Arena is silent, this is the third block contributed by Tang Tian in this section!

Nima, this is a defender!

Can this be better than Wade?

Thompson's expression was a little blank after being taken off.

He originally thought that after his teammates became stronger, he could finally play handy and finally had a chance to beat Tang Tian.

But after these few rounds, he found himself wrong!

Big mistake!

Tang Tian's sense of presence on both ends of attack and defense is too strong!

Even as far as this play is concerned, it is not an exaggeration to say that Tang Tian is leading the Spurs!

The original off-season training game, Tang Tian is reserved.

Yeah, Tang Tian just returned from the Olympics, how could he do his best in training.

He also needs rest!

The more Thompson thinks, the weaker he feels, and the more despair he feels!

Tang Tian's consecutive steals blocked the team's defense, Popovich also replaced Split with Dior at the right time, and the Spurs' defensive strength increased significantly.

Li was frustrated repeatedly in the interior, Curry was also pinched to death by Tang Tian, ​​the Warriors could not open the offense, and it was difficult to stand alone with the Spurs by defense alone.

93 to 79.

The Spurs eventually defeated the Warriors in back-to-back games, expanding the winning streak to 12 games.

The 12 wins and 0 losses start, also created the best start of the Spurs season!

Tang Tian played 30 minutes in this game, scoring 15 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 steals and 6 blocks on 5 of 10 shots!

He played the mini five doubles for the second consecutive game!

These two games are different from the previous ten games. He used the strongest defensive posture to help the team win the game!

After the game, Tang Tian found that Thompson's expression was significantly different from what he had seen before.

Obviously, the strength of this game hit Thompson's heart a lot.

Thompson made 3 of 10 3-pointers, 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. The performance was obviously not his normal level this season.

In the face of continuous failure, no matter how stubborn and active, it is obvious that they have begun to doubt themselves.

Tang Tian saw this and held him after shaking hands.

"Clay, do you know who is the worst woman in China?"

Thompson was depressed. He heard Tang Tian asking about this, and was completely uninterested.

"Mother."

"Who is that?"

"It doesn't matter who she is, what matters is that our Chinese dish is called Mapo Tofu, and Mapo is eaten by people every day."

"..."

Thompson shivered.

Obviously this joke is a bit cold, and he doesn't know what Mapo Tofu is.

"I can take you to try eating next time."

Tang Tian smiled and thumped Thompson's chest, as if Thompson was really Ma Po, and he was eating tofu.

"Catch me! Clay!"

After Tang Tian beat, his expression became serious.

"If you are me now and make you feel the gap, then chase me!"

"I am your goal, your challenge object, take me as the boss in the game, come chase me, challenge me!"

Tang Tian's words blasted toward Thompson like continuous shells.

Thompson looked at Tang Tian. He could see that Tang Tian was serious.

Yes, in the past, he was Xiaoqiang who never refused to lose, thinking that he would finally defeat Tang Tian one day.

It wasn't until tonight that he discovered that the gap between the two was so great that he began to doubt himself.

But Tang Tian was right, he realized the gap, and then?

Self doubt? Abandon yourself?

No ~ www.novelhall.com ~ He wants to catch up with Tang Tian!

Before, he was determined to win Tang Tian, ​​but now he has the goal of Tang Tian, ​​he must strive to catch up!

That's him, Klay Thompson!

"Yes, you wait, I will catch you up! Overtake you!"

After Thompson finished speaking, he also punched Tang Tian in the chest.

Perhaps it was a little excited, the punching strength is not small.

Tang Tian was coughed for a while.

Fuck! Bulletin private enmity!

I let you chase me, I didn't let you beat me, hello!

But after slowing down, he smiled again.

Such Thompson is worthy to continue to be his opponent. Remember the site's website, www. biquxu. Com, easy to read next time, or enter "" on Baidu to enter this site
