This two points is very important.
Looking back, Tang Tian misplaced successfully to prevent a wave of assaults by Gasol.
Offensive and defensive, he is not only motivating his teammates with words, but also demonstrating himself.
The Pelicans' offense is still in the same tactics.
This time Tang Tian did not choose to go directly to Green.
To win the Spurs, scoring alone is not enough. The biggest problem is physical strength.
Last season, when the two teams played against each other for the first time, he fell tired, and still won the game by relying on the last magical four-pointer.
Like McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes, that miracle can only come at most once.
So to really win the Spurs, he must mobilize his teammates as much as possible.
Last season it was a teammate and he could only play by himself, but this season is obviously not.
He greeted Davis to a high pick-and-roll.
The moment the pick-and-roll was formed, Gasol chose to double him.
Tang Tian gave the ball a high profile to Davis.
Davis received the ball and stormed the basket.
Duncan didn't show up in the three-second zone, and Davis chose to throw the ball high.
"Dang!"
The ball had a bit of luck, and the bomb popped at the front of the rim.
Duncan protected the defensive rebound.
Davis shook his hand in annoyance. Obviously, he should have thrown the ball.
Especially when the team is about to start.
"no problem, no problem!"
Tang Tian saw Davis' response and shouted at him during the retreat.
Davis nodded when he heard it. Most of the original annoyance was gone, and he turned his attention to the defense.
Hammer tactics in the frontcourt of the Spurs, Big Gasol received the ball and then attacked the basket.
"Don't jump! Card!"
Tang Tian shouted at Whiteside at this time.
When Whiteside played the Thunder, he fought against Adams for a whole game, and he had accumulated some experience in this regard.
After hearing Tang Tian shouting, he reached out and stood in the basket.
Gasol's confrontation was not his strength. He was strong in technology. This time, he did not reach Whiteside. He chose to rely on the outside hook.
Whiteside then rushed out and blocked.
Gasol's hook shot is high, but Whiteside's wingspan is also long, and more importantly, he stood in defensive position, giving positive interference.
"Dang!"
Gasol's hook was prevented!
However, Leonard flew to grab offensive rebounds at this time, and then shot Whiteside's defensive foul.
"no problem, no problem!"
Tang Tian shouted at Whiteside in the same tone at this time.
Whiteside's defense has been better than the previous one, and more is that Ariza has no cards.
Ariza also reached out to Whiteside at this time to signal his responsibility.
Leonard adjusted his breath and made two free throws.
The Spurs lead 9-2.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and the same position, Tang Tian also continued to greet Davis to mention the high pick and roll.
This time Davis went out, Tang Tian went in.
The Spurs chose to clip Tang Tian.
In these few games, Vicki has been very clear that Tang Tian's finishing ability has improved significantly compared to last season.
It's better to give Tang Tian a chance than to give the Pelicans a chance.
Tang Tian threw the ball back to Davis when he saw the double.
Gasol quickly backed up and Davis took the lead.
The ball crossed a parabola in the air.
"Oh!"
This time Davis seized the opportunity and shot it out.
Vicki reached out and touched the beard of his jaw.
Davis has made great progress in the past year. He already has a relatively stable mid-range.
This makes it harder for the Spurs to defend the Pelicans than before.
Davis smiled and stretched his fingers towards Tang Tian during the retreat.
In addition to shooting strength, the most influential is the mentality.
Tang Tian's words seemed irrelevant, but to young Davis it seemed like a peace of mind.
In the Spurs' offense, Leonard misplaced Holliday and turned to make a breakthrough.
Holliday is a good defender but is a guard after all, and there is a gap in confrontation.
Leonard made a drift shot after hitting the basket.
At this time Whiteside suddenly jumped out, straightened his long arm and came up.
Leonard caught off guard and wanted to adjust his shot late.
"boom!"
A white hat fanned Leonard's shot back!
This is a revenge for the fouls committed in the previous round.
At the three-point line, Ariza saved the ball. He won Parker and gave the ball to Tang Tian.
The Pelicans defended the round.
Parker looked at Ariza after getting up, and his mind was full of Tang Tian's original figure when he was in the Spurs.
Now Tang Tian has become the core of the team, and his "Tang Tian" is also on the team.
The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and they were still in the same position.
Tang Tian was at the three-point line, and everyone else sank to the bottom line.
Tang Tian waved to Davis again.
With a high pick-and-roll, Tang Tian made a breakthrough move to the right this time, forcing Gasol and Green to double up.
He knocked Davis on the earth.
Davis dunked the ball, this time he chose to make a strong dunk.
Duncan rushed out and there was confrontation in the air.
The referee sounded a whistle to signal Duncan's foul.
Davis' dunk was blocked, but he threw the ball out after confrontation.
The ball hit the board and rebounded into the basket.
One 2 + 1!
Duncan was expressionless and shook his head.
Although his competitive status this season is much better than last season, but he is already a bit weak against newcomers of this level.
Everyone has to admit that they are old.
Davis screamed in excitement after seeing the goal, then turned to Tang Tian for a high five.
He scored this goal beautifully, but Tang Tian's hit was also beautiful.
Vicki was thoughtful at this time.
Drinking with Tang Tian yesterday, he said that Tang Tian can get mvp, which means a lot.
There are expectations of former disciples, as well as regular milk as an opponent.
But looking at this past performance, he felt that Tang Tian really had the strength in this regard.
mvp, the most valuable player, the so-called most valuable is not for individuals, but for the team.
The intuitive performance is good personal data and high team record.
But in detail, it can make teammates and teams better.
Tang Tian performed very well last season ~ www.novelhall.com ~ but Vicky didn't really feel much.
Because Tang Tian is basically trying to score, this is the lowest way to help the team.
But now, Tang Tian's personal offense is clearly down.
He started looking for teammates and waited until his teammates couldn't open before standing up to score.
And even when he sees his teammates performing badly later, he does not blame but encourages him until he mobilizes his teammates.
This is what Vicky understands that one of the most valuable players should do.
Davis is going to increase the penalty, Tang Tian is standing on the side of the free throw line at this time.
He noticed that someone was watching himself behind him, and then he saw Vicky.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
If he knew what Vickie thought at the moment, he didn't know what he thought.
