This two-pointer is very important.

Looking back, Tang Tian was misplaced and successfully defended Gasol's strong attack.

With one attack and one defense, he is not only inspiring his teammates with words, but also demonstrating himself.

The Pelicans' offense still has the same tactics.

This time, Tang Tian did not choose to go through Green directly.

To win the Spurs, it is not enough to rely on him to score alone. The biggest problem is physical strength.

He was exhausted when the two teams fought for the first time last season, and he relied on the magical score of 4 three-pointers in a row to win the game.

Just like McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes, that miracle can only be done once at most.

So if he really wants to beat the Spurs, he must mobilize his teammates as much as possible.

Last season, his teammates were not good enough and he could only play by himself, but this season was obviously not.

He greeted Davis to the high pick-and-roll.

At the moment when the pick-and-roll was formed, Gasol chose to double-team him.

Tang Tian gave Davis a high-profile ball.

Davis received the ball and attacked the basket.

Duncan didn't come out in the three-second zone, so Davis chose to throw high and hit the board.

"Bang!"

The ball was a little bit lucky and bounced out at the front of the basket.

Duncan protects the defensive rebounds.

Davis shook his hand in annoyance. Obviously, he should have shot this kind of ball.

Especially when the team is about to start.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

When Tang Tian saw Davis' reaction, he shouted at him while retreating.

Davis nodded after hearing this, and lost most of his annoyance, and instead devoted himself to defense.

The Spurs' hammer tactics in the frontcourt, Gasol received the ball and then attacked the basket.

"Don't jump! Kama!"

Tang Tian turned around and shouted at Whiteside at this time.

Whiteside fought with Adams all the way while playing against the Thunder, and he accumulated some experience in this regard.

After hearing Tang Tian’s shout, he reached out to stand at the basket.

Gasol's confrontation was not his strength, he was strong in his skills. He didn't shake Whiteside, so he chose to rely on his external hook after the fight.

Whiteside then rushed out to block.

Gasol's hook shot point is very high, but Whiteside's wingspan is also very long. More importantly, he stood in the defensive position and gave positive interference.

"Bang!"

Gasol's hook was defended!

However, Leonard flew to grab the offensive rebound at this time, and then took another move to cause Whiteside's defensive foul.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Tang Tian shouted at Whiteside in the same tone at this time.

Whiteside's defense has done better than before this ball, and more because there is no good guy on Ariza's side.

At this time, Ariza also reached out to Whiteside and signaled that it was his responsibility.

Leonard made two free throws in his breathing.

The Spurs lead 9-2.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt and the same position was taken over, Tang Tian also continued to invite Davis to mention the pick-and-roll at the high position.

This time Davis walked out and Tang Tian went in.

The Spurs chose to join Tang Tian.

After these games, Popovich already knew very well that Tang Tian’s finishing ability had improved significantly compared to last season.

It is better to give Tang Tian a chance than to give Tang Tian a chance.

Tang Tian threw the ball back to Davis when he saw the double team.

Gasol quickly returned to defense, and Davis took the lead.

The ball drew a parabola in the air.

"Swish!"

This time, Davis seized the opportunity and took action to get a knife.

Popovich reached out and touched his jaw-like beard.

Davis has made great progress in the past year and has already achieved a relatively stable mid-range distance.

This makes it more difficult for the Spurs to defend the Pelicans than before.

Davis smiled and pointed at Tang Tian as he retreated.

In addition to strength, the biggest impact of shooting is mentality.

The words that Tang Tian said seem insignificant, but for the young Davis, it is like a reassurance.

In the Spurs' offense, Leonard played Holiday in dislocation and turned around and broke through to the basket.

Holiday has a good defense but is a defender after all, and there is a gap in confrontation.

Leonard drifted after reaching the basket and fighting.

At this time, Whiteside, who was inside, suddenly rushed out and stretched out his long arms.

Leonard was caught off guard and was too late to adjust the angle of the attack.

"Bang!"

Whiteside slapped Leonard's move back with a big hat!

This is avenge for being fouled 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 this round.

After Parker stood up, he looked at Ariza, his mind full of Tang Tian’s figure when he was in the Spurs.

Now Tang Tian has become the core of the team, and his "Tang Tian" is also in the team.

The Pelicans still took the same position when they reached the frontcourt.

Tang Tian was at the three-point line, and everyone else was sinking to the bottom line.

Tang Tian waved to Davis again.

In the high position pick-and-roll, Tang Tian made a breakthrough move to the right this time, forcing Gasol and Green to double-team together.

He hit the earth and hit Davis.

Davis took the ball and rushed to the basket, and this time he chose to force a dunk.

Duncan rushed out and the two fought in the air.

The referee whistled, signaling Duncan's foul.

Davis' dunk was stopped, but he threw the ball out after the confrontation.

The ball hit the board and then bounced into the basket.

One 2+1!

Duncan shook his head expressionlessly.

Although his competitive state this season is much better than last season, he is already a little helpless when facing a newcomer of Davis.

Everyone has to admit that they are old.

After seeing the goal, Davis shouted excitedly, then turned around to look for Tang Tian to high-five.

He made a beautiful shot, but Tang Tian’s attack from the ground was also beautiful.

Popovich was thinking at this time.

I drank with Tang Tian yesterday, and he said that Tang Tian could get MVP, which means a lot.

He had expectations for his former disciples and had regular breasts as opponents.

But after judging from this past performance, he felt that Tang Tian really had the strength in this area.
