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

They will have back-to-back games with the Warriors there.

The Warriors have made great progress this season, and their record of 8 wins and 4 losses is very eye-catching.

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

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

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

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

Thompson came up with confidence.

It is obvious that the Warriors' current record and staffing have given him a lot of confidence.

"Clay, don't be too full before the game. I still remember the fact that you only scored 6 points last season."

Tang Tian also has the expression of talking and I am worthy of your words.

"Look! This time is different from before!"

Thompson also looks like I'm not afraid of you.

After the warm-up before the game, the starting lineups of both sides appeared one after another.

On the Warriors, Curry and Thompson on the outside, Barnes and David Lee on the front, and Bogut in the center.

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

The Warriors are now well-known, and the attendance rate of Oracle Arena is also very high, exceeding 80%.

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

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

Speaking of which, Agaric Ranadave had recruited him to the Warriors before.

"Don, you defend Stephen Curry."

Popovich's words pulled his thoughts back.

Tang Tian nodded after hearing this.

It seems that after performing well in the defensive end in the last game, Popovich has forgotten that he scored 20+ points in ten consecutive games.

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

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

After Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to the free throw line.

Lee turned around and beat Duncan, and then moved his beautiful footsteps and scored after he wiped the board.

When Duncan got older, he was at a disadvantage in his position as a technical big man.

The Spurs' Hammer tactics were blocked by Thompson to Tang Tian, ​​and Parker's breakthrough was directly blocked by Bogut.

The Warriors pushed the defensive counterattack at the first time, and Curry passed the ball to Barnes, who made a quick break layup.

The Warriors looked different from last season, and Mark Jackson began to implant more of the concept of defensive counterattack for the team.

The concept of defensiveness was implanted in the first year, and the second year he joined the defensive counterattack.

Mark Jackson's coaching starts from the overall situation, and his coaching ability has been underestimated by many people.

"I won't give you a chance!"

Thompson stubbornly wooed Tang Tian on the defensive end.

Tang Tian knew at this time what Thompson said was different.

With Barnes and Curry, Thompson desperately found an offensive opportunity without driving. If he defended with all his strength, he was also a top-notch in the league.

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

The Warriors played a defensive counterattack again, Thompson threw away Parker and went to the frontcourt to catch up with Curry's pass.

"Swish!"

He practiced hard with Tang Tian during the offseason. Although his three-pointers were not as good as Tang Tian, ​​he became more and more stable.

There were whistles on the sidelines, and the Warriors started 7-0 directly!

They are really different from before.

"Tony, they're familiar with the hammer tactics."

As he moved forward, Tang Tian shouted to Parker.

Mark Jackson said that he was a defensive coach. The Spurs played Hammer tactics for a season, and the Warriors have definitely done a lot in this regard.

Parker nodded and arrived at the frontcourt to signal a pick-and-roll tactic.

The Hammer Tactics is the new signature of the Spurs, but they don’t just know that set of tactics!

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

Leonard opened up space in the bottom corner, and while Parker broke through, 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 cared about Tang Tian and ignored everyone else at all.

Tang Tian received the ball, and Thompson rushed over quickly.

However, Tang Tian did not make a real shot. After receiving the ball, he threw his hand and passed the ball to the low post on the right.

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

A perfect pass, Leonard's eyes widened after receiving the ball, and he accelerated and rushed to the basket and scored a layup.

The Spurs broke the scoring drought!

Thompson turned around and his expression was stunned.

"Clay, the offseason has just passed, don't you forget so quickly? I'm different."

Tang Tian reminded him.

They played training matches during the offseason, but he had been playing against Thompson. Thompson knew that his pass became stronger.

"Yes, I remember it."

Thompson turned around, his eyes becoming more warlike.

The Warriors' offense, Thompson and Barnes pulled apart.

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

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

But it still couldn't stop Tang Tian.

Tang Tian is a slippery loach.

Curry was almost cut off.

He chose to break through the basket.

Now Curry is still a breakthrough and attack-type defender playing style.

However, unlike previous seasons, he changed his way of exerting strength, which allowed him to use all his strength when breaking through.

Very fast!

The breakthrough opportunity was perfect!

His average of 23.5 points this season is a career high!

He is becoming the new core of the Warriors!

"Bang!"

A crisp sound.

Tang Tian took the steal!

Curry's breakthrough is so familiar.

After Walker was injured in Kang Da, what Tang Tian taught him was the way to exert force with his hips and thighs.

The same way of exerting force, the same rhythm.

Even Walker's first step was faster than Curry.

After getting used to Walker, Tang Tian saw through Curry's breakthrough.

Curry's hand was exerted without any focus, and he lost his center of gravity and could not get back to grab it.

Tang Tian dribbled the ball and made a quick break. After seeing Thompson coming, he passed the ball to Parker.
