Chapter 331 Ten-game winning streak (4/10)
60 to 45.
Although Durant scored 26 points in the first half, the Spurs' shooting percentage was as high as 70%, still leading the Thunder by as much as 15 points.
Tang Tian has a pass, and the Spurs team feels like the Spurs team in the 13th to 14th season in their previous life.
In the second half, Brooks made a starting adjustment, and he put Kevin Martin, who had just traded from the Rockets, into the starting lineup.
Martin has poor defense, but his offensive firepower is enough and he is very good at making fouls.
Tang Tian blocked his two defenses, but Martin avoided it and committed a foul.
Tang Tian was forced to leave the court for a few minutes after fighting.
Sitting on the bench, looking at the field, but what he was thinking about was something else.
Tony Allen's defense is already top among NBA outside players, but due to his height, there is still room for improvement.
He is now extremely close to Allen, but he is taller than Allen, which makes him have a higher upper limit on the defensive end than Allen.
The most obvious difference is his ability to block, and he blocked twice as many times as Allen last season.
But players like Martin can make him fouls, which limits his development.
By the way, there is Harden who exploded this season's debut. If he remembers correctly, Tiao Ci Deng should appear this season.
If Martin is like this, it will be more difficult to defend Harden.
With three-pointers and passes, his offense is completely leapfrog in the Spurs' system.
A breakthrough in exchange is not so imminent. Instead, he has to find an opportunity to strengthen the blocking of this area.
If he can win the best defensive player, it will be of great help to his new contract.
112 to 103.
Durant scored 45 points and 10 rebounds in the whole game, and the blurred little coach was simply invincible.
But after Harden left the team, the Thunder's bench strength became significantly weaker, and the team's scores were basically concentrated on Durant and Westbrook.
In addition, the Spurs' shooting percentage exceeded 60%, and the Thunder eventually lost.
Although Tang Tian didn't play much in the third quarter, he played a whole quarter after consciously controlling the game in the fourth quarter, which brought great help to the team.
He finally scored 25 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, with the highest score in the team.
This is the current Spurs team, with team-based play and GDP restraint. Tang Tian doesn't have to be very versatile, but he can still get very versatile data.
The two sides held a handshake ceremony at the end of the game.
Durant did not shake hands with Tang Tian, and it was obvious that after the game, he had a point of resentment towards Tang Tian.
Why did he become a father and a mother in the end but he scored in vain? Tang Tian easily scored 25 points to lead the team to win.
Could it be that Tang Tian’s teammates are stronger?
"Jeremy, stay patient."
After shaking hands with Lamb, Tang Tian spoke and encouraged.
Lamb nodded. This summer was very chaotic for him, but Tang Tian's words made him feel relieved.
Winning the home opening game is a very good start for the Spurs, which is determined to defend the title.
And this is indeed just the beginning.
On November 2, back-to-back to Jazz, facing the reconstruction of Salt Lake City, the Spurs did not give much chance and finally won 93-73.
Tang Tian scored another 20 points and 4 assists.
On November 4, he faced the Pelicans, 99-85, No. 1 pick Davis scored 25 points and 11 rebounds for the first time in his career, but on this day, he was invited to join the league's empty-scoring group.
Tang Tian continued to play with his eye-catching performance, contributing 22 points, 5 assists and 3 steals.
On November 6, the Spurs were 101-79 Pacers, facing their opponents who played 6 games with the Heat last season, the Spurs were not bloody.
Tang Tian scored 21 points and 6 assists.
On November 8, the Spurs challenged the Lakers away, which was the first time the team played against the Lakers' new F4.
Nash was out of the game due to injury, and Kobe became the actual organizer of the Lakers.
Although Kobe scored 30 points and 5 assists, the Lakers had a very problematic run-in.
Howard only got 9 shots in the game, and Gasol only made 10 shots. The second highest shot in the team was veteran Charity World Peace, with 4 of 14 shots.
The Spurs eventually won 94-84.
Howard was very unhappy after the game, and did not even participate in the handshake gift, so he turned around and entered the player channel.
It seems that the Lakers head coach, Mike Brown, who once coached James' "Bread", has not found a way to merge this team.
Tang Tian continued to perform steadily, sending eye-catching data of 20 points, 5 assists and 3 steals.
...
On November 18, the Spurs played against the Clippers at home.
Because the Spurs were massacred for 58 points last year's playoffs, the Clippers, which were reinforced in the offseason, attached great importance to this game.
"We won't think about what happened last season anymore. For us, this season is the most important thing."
When asked by reporters about the miserable defeat in the playoffs last season, Paul answered very wisely, and his eyebrows were full of confidence.
This summer, the Clippers have changed a lot in addition to the Big Three lineup.
In addition to Jamal Crawford, they also got the "gangster" Matt Barnes, former Lakers' sixth man Odom, and veteran Grant Hill.
In addition to Billups, who has returned from injury, has a record of 7 wins and 2 losses so far, and has just defeated the Heat at home before coming to San Antonio.
Whether it is strength or morale, it is the strongest time.
This game was also very fierce. The Spurs' offensive firepower was still there, but they were not too defensive to the Clippers.
Crawford's arrival solved the Clippers' weakness of insufficient firepower on the bench, and the two teams played until the last five minutes.
But in these five minutes, the biggest difference between the two teams was revealed.
The Spurs improved their defensive strength at the last moment and continuously defended several waves of attacks from the Clippers.
But the Clippers still can't defend against the Spurs.
The Spurs fought a 10-0 offensive in the last moment and won the game 126-116.
Paul scored 26 points and 11 assists, Griffin scored 32 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, and the two scored 58 points together, but they still couldn't lead the team to win.
After the game, Paul sat on the sidelines and beat the bench with anger, which formed a sharp contrast with Denagro's confused expression.
For the Clippers, compared to strengthening the lineup, what they need now is to change to a head coach with stronger abilities.
Tang Tian ushered in an outbreak in this game, scoring 30 points, 2 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals in the whole game.
25,20,22,21,20…30!
It was not until this time that many people noticed that Tang Tian had scored 20+ points in 10 consecutive games!
Average of 23.2 points, 2.1 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 steals per game, 51% shooting percentage, and 55% three-point shooting percentage.
Tang Tian is going to go for the best player in the month!
With his help, the Spurs have never lost after the start of the game and have quietly won ten consecutive victories!
Chapter completed!
