After Green left, Tang Tian then went to the visiting team's training hall to practice more.

After two preseason games, although he performed well, it was more because his opponent was not familiar with him.

Take the Pistons in the last game for example. After the opponent focused on his open three-pointer, his scoring seemed a bit weak.

He has to hurry up and improve the attribute of receiving three-pointers.

This is what he has been doing. In terms of the most intuitive attribute, his "receiving three-pointers" has been practicing from the previous 50 to about 57.

If it increases to 60, if the bonus is counted to 66, he can basically use it in the game.

When he arrived at the training hall, with the help of Procopio, Tang Tian began to practice systematically, first with physical fitness, then with open three-pointers, then with three-pointers, and finally with dynamic vision training.

This is already a systematic training content.

When he started practicing 3-point training for the ball, the door of the training hall was suddenly pushed open and two uninvited guests came in.

Leonard and Ingeld.

Ingeld is the team's shooting assistant coach. The Spurs traded Leonard from the Pacers with George Hill, and now they have asked Ingeld to give him a private lecture, which is very important to him.

After greeting each other, they practiced their own.

Leonard's character is cold and he has no idea of ​​getting close to him.

During the training class the next day, Popovich announced the team's activation list and Tang Tian was on the list.

Moreover, from the training matches of the whole game, it can be seen that his appearance order is ahead of Joseph, Neil and others, and he is almost the eighth and ninth man.

His training camp and preseason performance finally paid off.

That night, the game between the Spurs and the Clippers kicked off at the Staples Center.

This is the opening game of the Spurs, but it is not the Clippers.

The Clippers had already played against the Nuggets on Christmas and had a good start with a big victory over their opponents 125-105.

The Nuggets were fifth in the Western Conference last season, and the Clippers were third from the bottom in the Western Conference. This game also fully demonstrated the changes in the Clippers.

In the past offseason, they traded the leading core Chris Paul from the Hornets custodian, and with Griffin and DeAndrew Jordan, who were selected and trained, their strength has improved significantly.

Paul's assists are top-notch in the league, Griffin and Jordan Jr. have excellent physical fitness, so they are also called "Airline City" by fans.

The Lakers in the same city have suffered serious problems after the failure of the playoffs last season. They are ambitious and have the idea of ​​replacing themselves with the Lord of Los Angeles.

The Nuggets without Anthony are just sacrifices to the flag, and winning the Spurs, whose "GDP" is all their true battle for justice.

Staples Center was full of attendance and the venue was full.

Los Angeles' football market is originally second only to New York in the league. The Clippers have formed a lineup of the Big Three, so fans are naturally willing to buy it.

Just from the atmosphere on the scene, they are no longer inferior to the Lakers in the same city.

After a brief pre-match warm-up, the scene soon entered the opening ceremony, and the Spurs, who played away, were quickly introduced to the game.

Popovich continued to use the starting lineup when playing against the Thunder in the preseason. Parker and Green on the outside, Jefferson and Duncan on the front line, and center Blair on the center.

After the Spurs' starting players were introduced, the home team followed.

In the dim lights on the scene, accompanied by the exciting background music, 3D lights began to flash on the court, and the gorgeous opening edits were projected onto the floor. The Clippers' opening ceremony for the new season was magnificent.

Clippers coach Vini Denagro is posing in a two-point guard lineup.

On the outside are Chris Paul and veteran Chauncey Billups, on the front are Caron Butler and Griffin, and center Jordan Jr.

After the opening ceremony, Paul gathered his teammates together, asked them to raise their hands above their heads and put them together, and loudly encouraged them.

He came from the Hornets to the Clippers and from New Orleans to Los Angeles, obviously trying to achieve something great.

"Are you nervous?" The game began soon, and Green turned to Tang Tian and asked.

Although Tang Tian performed well in both preseasons, there is still a big difference between the regular season and the preseason.

The biggest difference is the opponent and strength. If Tang Tian enters the rotation, his main counterparts are not Rookie Jackson and Singler, who are in the same class.

"Danny, he's not nervous. He has played in the 70,000 stadium, 2 games." Ginobili came over and said a slut.

Green and Tang Tian couldn't help laughing, but there was no tension on Tang Tian's face.

He is different from other newcomers. Whether it is competition or competition, he is enjoying the process.

A long whistle came from the sidelines, and the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

Tang Tian was sitting in the fourth position on the left of the empty seat, on the left of Ginobili, Split and Leonard.

On his right are Bonner, Gary Neal and Joseph, which is basically the rotation order of the team.

Duncan and Jordan Jr. Jordan jumped high and pushed the ball back to the half of the Clippers, which attracted a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

Compared to the old Duncan on the opposite side, and even the Spurs, the upstart of the Clippers can be said to be extremely energetic.

After Paul took the ball to the frontcourt, the ball was given to Griffin inside.

Griffin scored 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists in the rookie season with a shooting percentage of more than 50%, and his performance was extremely impressive.

Although Paul is more famous and strong, he started off the team's offense with Griffin as a first-timer.

Griffin turned around with his back against Duncan to catch the ball, his eyes full of murderous aura.

In the last game, he beaten up Nene of the Nuggets' inside core, and he is not ready to show mercy to Old Duncan now.

The NBA is very cruel. Even if you are a super giant in history, if you continue to stay on the field when you are old, you will inevitably be ravaged by rising stars.

He dribbled in one step, leaned against Duncan and then turned to kill under the basket. Griffin's style of play was quite straightforward, opening and closing.

However, he overestimated his arm span and underestimated Duncan's experience. After turning around, he would get caught by the "Stone Buddha" and slapped him back with a slap.

There was an uproar in the scene.

"Stone Buddha" is a sword that never grows old!

Green turned around and grabbed the ball, and he threw it at Parker.

Parker turned around to face Paul's fast break, and made a layup in the frontcourt, causing Paul's foul.

Paul took off his braces and jumped up, indicating that he had not committed a foul, but the referee did not change the judgment.

There were boos at the scene.

Tang Tian frowned slightly at this time.
Chapter completed!
