When he was in Kangda, Walker suffered an ankle injury, and Tang Tian said something to him in the tone of a godfather.

It seems that Walker still remembers those words.

But it is indeed very useful. The competition in NCAA is not as cruel as the NBA. There will be coaches and teammates who will really help you with it.

But when you go to the NBA, it’s like a colleague who can’t really help too much at work, and you still have to rely on yourself more.

Walker realized at this time that his injury was a good thing for him, at least in terms of mentality, he became more mature than ordinary rookies.

"Come on, see you in our All-Star Rookie Game." Tang Tian sent a message back.

Because they are in different divisions, they will only fight twice in a season.

In addition, the suspension season is intensive and there is not much time for personal meetings, so they don’t have many opportunities to meet.

"Yes, come on, too."

After reading the message Walker replied, Tang Tian put up his phone.

The next game is to play against the Heat.

This is also a game of different meanings for him.

Back at San Antonio's training class, Tang Tian began to try to catch a three-point shot in the training game.

The Spurs are good at tactics, and they have a lot of cooperation between teammates. In addition, they have played nearly ten games, and they have also had a tacit understanding with Split.

He seized the opportunity and shot two unballed three-pointers in a row.

"He can do this?"

Popovich was a little surprised when he saw it on the sidelines. You should know that although Tang Tian had been training before, he had been practicing at night, so Popovich didn't know.

"Yes, I heard Ingeld say once, and he seems to have been practicing this."

Budenholzer said that Popovich was responsible for the overall situation, and that these minor matters could be learned more by his assistant.

"Interesting." Popovich nodded with a smile after hearing this. He really didn't know what Tang Tianjia practiced.

Moreover, the sweat that a person can practice from nothing to something is imaginable.

The day before the Spurs and Heat match, the entire Heat arrived in San Antonio.

Unlike the Spurs' state, the Heat's performance this season is extremely hot.

They have played 9 games so far. Except for one loss to the Hawks, they have won all 8 games, with a record of 8 wins and 1 loss in the league.

James Heat performed better in the second season, having scored 30+ in 3 games and hit a shooting percentage of up to 55%.

Wade and Bosh also performed stably, the most important thing was the two veterans of the team.

Mike Miller regained his touch, shooting more than 45% from three-pointers, and new player Bathir also brought strong outside defense to the team.

This team has a balanced offense and defense, giving people the feeling that they have already locked in the championship in advance.

However, with James' team, there is always doubt. Some people still think that the Heat's current record is related to their opponents and schedule.

The Spurs are their real touchstone game.

On the day when the Heat arrived in San Antonio, head coach Spoelstra organized a daily training, which can be seen that he also attaches great importance to this game.

The Heat's training attracted many onlookers. By the end of the training, James was surrounded by reporters.

After being defeated by the Mavericks last season, the team has faced great doubts.

However, after a long offseason, James, as the core of the team, has obviously adapted.

He has already dealt with clichés such as "What changes have the team changed in the new season" and "Is it ready to win the championship this season" and so on.

"The Heat tried Don in the summer, but the team didn't choose him in the end. He is doing very well in San Antonio now. What do you think about this?"

A reporter asked a relatively new topic.

James glanced at the reporter who asked the question, and obviously he didn't expect anyone to ask this.

But he experienced a lot and reacted quickly.

"Yes, Tang is great. He can shoot three-pointers, has good defense, and is very smart in playing. He is a good player, but I won't interfere with the team management. I am a player, and I am only responsible for playing."

James' answer doesn't seem to have any questions.

After the interview, James returned to the locker room to take a shower. His teammates had not returned to the hotel yet, and they sat there chatting and laughing.

The team won consecutively, the players were relaxed and looked in a good mood.

But Battier and Wade were talking seriously, as if discussing some serious topic.

James came out wrapped in a bath towel and walked over and sat next to the two of them with a smile.

"What are you talking about?" James asked after sitting down.

"The match matter." Wade looked at James with a smile, with a hint of love between friends in his eyes.

"Tell me," James continued.

"We are talking about Green and Don. The Spurs have developed a tactic this season, and the number 2/3 catches and shoots are very good."

Bathir said that he was produced by Duke and was more sensitive to tactics.

This season, the Spurs performed well on several wings, especially Green and Tang Tian, ​​who both averaged 10 points per game.

You should know that Green only played seven or eight games last season, and Tang Tian is even a rookie.

Although the two of them have good strength, their tactical bonus is also obvious.

"Yes, with those three guys here, they don't have much pressure on their defense. If they can throw the goals they should score, they are a big threat."

Wade said with a wry smile.

When Tang Tian tried out the Heat, he admired it very much.

And he also said good things when the management made a decision, and he also knew what the draft promised.

But I don’t know why the management finally changed its mind, but now Tang Tian has become a little troubled to them.

"No, no, actually, don't worry at all." James' reaction was unexpected.

Wade and Battier both looked at him curiously.

"Green really needs to be wary of it, but his three-point stability is not that good. It depends on the situation and whether Mario (Chun Moss) should follow closely. As for Don, he is just a fixed-point pitcher, just don't give him an open chance. Sean is best at doing this."

James said calmly.

Bathil smiled after hearing this. James felt embarrassed to praise him like this, but there was no big problem with what he said.

Green's shooting percentage in the first few games of the season did fluctuate a lot, especially when he was away for five consecutive games, he only had about 30%.

Tang Tian said that from the beginning of the season to now, he will only shoot three-pointers and occasionally cut the ball.
