Chapter 155 First Show (810)

Neal made 41.9% of his three-pointers last season, averaged 1.6 three-pointers per game, and scored close to 10 points. He is a top-notch three-point shooter, but his defense is much worse than his offense.

Unable to defend Jackson's breakthrough, Popovich roared to show that he was not that angry, but he couldn't bear it because he couldn't make a three-pointer and even hesitated to make a shot.

Tang Tian heard Popovich yelling, and got up after taking off his training clothes.

"If you have a chance, make a decisive move." Popovich specifically urged.

Tang Tian nodded, and then walked straight to the technical platform.

Although he is on the active list, he should not be in the rotation. After all, in his position, Ginobili and Leonard are in front of him, one is the sixth man, and the other is the team's key rookie. He is just a backup .

Although Ginobili is at the second position, he has no problem playing the first position. In fact, Neal is the three-point shooter assigned to him. Neal's performance is sluggish, and the meaning of going to Tang Tian is similar.

And this timing is also very important. If this happens after three or four minutes in the second quarter, then Popovich will probably go directly to Green.

Of course, this is also related to Tang Tian's excellent performance in the training game, otherwise Neil's performance is not good, and the replacement for him is either James Anderson or Joseph.

For many reasons, he got the chance to appear early.

Jackson's shot caused Neal's thug, and he had a chance to score the 9th point of the game, and the state exploded hot.

When the game entered a dead ball, Tang Tian got up and went on the field, replacing Neil.

Some sporadic cheers sounded from the sidelines.

Not only the few fans holding the godfather's sign, but also some local fans in Oklahoma City.

Durant turned his head when he heard the cheers, and made a disdainful sound.

He looked back at Jackson with anticipation in his eyes.

Jackson was in a hot state during this period, and the Spurs must be eye-catching on Tang Tian. This just gave Jackson the opportunity to beat Tang Tian, ​​which is the opportunity he wanted to see.

After Jackson made two free throws, his personal score reached 9 points, surpassing Westbrook and Durant, and he is currently the player with the most points in the Thunder.

There was also a burst of cheers for him at the scene, and the Thunder had found a treasure at the end of the first round.

There was a little pride in Jackson's eyes that couldn't be hidden. It was this counterattack feeling. He wanted to make the first 23 teams that gave up on him regret it!

In the Spurs' offense, Ginobili controlled the ball and advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt. He is now playing a pure No. 1 position.

Defending him was Thunderbolt Jackson.

At this time, Tang Tian ran tactically and settled in the bottom corner to open up space.

Ginobili signaled Splitter to mention the high pick-and-roll.

Thunder coach Brooks has played against the Spurs many times, knowing that Ginobili's breakthrough is so powerful, he shouted on the sidelines not to switch defenses.

Jackson quickly narrowed the distance with Ginobili, not giving Splitter a chance to pick and roll.

After Ginobili saw it, he immediately changed direction to the right, and then changed direction to the left while advancing, making a signature snake-shaped breakthrough.

After all, Jackson is a rookie, and he is still a bit short in experience.

At this time, Leonard used Splitter's pick-and-roll on the weak side to cut to the basket.

The Spurs' tactics are not a single point, but the entire team is moving. This is Popovich's tactical system.

However, the Thunder did a good job of protecting the basket with the ball, and they switched defenses without the ball in a timely manner. Cook went around and cut off Splitter's catch, and Muhammad also covered the sky above Leonard.

Ginobili's pass to the weak side was blocked, and at the same time, Harden also recovered the basket, ready to pinch Ginobili as before.

Brooks' coaching level has always been questioned, especially the monotony of offensive tactics, but he is actually not bad at defending.

Ginobili saw Harden for the first time, flicked the ball to the bottom corner.

Tang Tian raised his hand to catch the ball, catching it comfortably.

It has to be said that Ginobili's passing ability is much better than that of Walker and Joseph. He catches the ball at the chest position, which is the kind of ball that can be thrown directly after receiving it.

Harden turned around and returned to the defense. The Spurs used a similar tactic before, but Neal failed to seize the opportunity.

When he returned to defense, he only extended his hand symbolically. He knew Tang Tian was the "godfather", but he also knew the difference between streetball and actual combat. Neil would be more accurate than Tang Tian in shooting three-pointers on the street court.

Tang Tian's three-pointer had already been shot, and it only took about 0.6 seconds.

The hard training in the offseason had a remarkable effect, even if Harden rushed over with all his strength, it was too late.

At this time, Popovich looked up at Tang Tian's shot.

Whether the training items can be displayed on the court depends on the ball. If such an open space cannot be hit, it means that Tang Tian is also a player in the training game. On the contrary, if he can hit it as soon as he comes up, it means that Tang Tian deserves a chance to enter the rotation .

There are only more than 400 people in the entire NBA league. For most players, there is probably only one chance.

"Shua!"

Tang Tian's three-pointer hit the net!

He took his chance!

He hit his first goal in the NBA!

"FXCK! Can this rookie hit a three-pointer as soon as he comes up?" Some fans exclaimed on the sidelines.

"He seems to be the 'Godfather'? The one who was very popular in the offseason?"

"It seems to be, but it's a street court, this is an NBA game!"

The Thunder had already opened up the point difference to 7 points before, and Tang Tian's three-pointer was quite thirst-quenching for the Spurs.

When Ginobili retreated, he smiled and pointed at Tang Tian. He now believed that what Tang Tian said was true.

Sitting off the court for more than a quarter, he can make three-pointers when he comes up. This is not something ordinary people can do. Tang Tian does have a big heart.

"Shit!" Durant couldn't help swearing on the sidelines. Tang Tian made a three-pointer and made him very unhappy.

At this time, Jackson dribbled the ball and pushed forward. He heard Durant cursing, and his face suddenly became serious.

This is the Thunder's home stadium, and it's also his home stadium. The cheers he just won must not be taken away by Tang Tian, ​​especially if Durant specifically told him to do so.

He dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and seeing that Tang Tian was defending him, he directly signaled his teammates to pull away.

He is going to do what Durant told him to do now, and beat Tang Tian up.

Harden also gave face and brought Ginobili, who was defending him, to the weak side.

The Thunder's offense is mostly one-on-one singles to create advantages, and at most add an off-ball pick-and-roll cover. Jackson's choice is also very Thunder-style.

After Jackson saw the space coming out, he directly changed direction in front of his body alternately with his left and right hands, and then accelerated suddenly to start a breakthrough from the right.

This summer he practiced hard to make breakthroughs, and he can achieve the same frequency of direction changes as before without increasing his dribbling point!

"Snapped!"

But in the next second, he passed by, but Tang Tian snatched the ball away!

After the dynamic vision strengthening training, Tang Tian's overall reaction has improved to a higher level. The same move was blocked by Jackson when he was playing streetball. Now he can also steal it, and it is easier!

"Come.on!" A fan on the sidelines couldn't help shouting, spreading his hands. He couldn't figure out why Jackson was stealing all the way in front of him.
