The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Butler failed to score twice in a row, and it wasn't until this time that everyone gradually realized.

Tang Tian not only shoots three-pointers very accurately, but his defense seems to be a bit ruthless. He can also defend from position 1 to position 3. This is a real top 3D player!

The Clippers struggled to chase points, but the Spurs played steadily and kept their advantage.

After halftime, the Spurs led 64 to 43.

"The three three-pointers of Tang changed the situation of the two teams in the first half." During the intermission, the sideline commentator couldn't help expressing emotion.

Without those 9 points, the Clippers would not be 21 points behind at this time, but only 12 points.

These are completely two concepts, and it is really not too much to say that the situation in the halftime has changed.

Back in the second half, the Clippers frantically chased points.

The Spurs had ups and downs because of the absence of Ginobili, but because they had too much advantage in the first half, they finally won the Clippers 118 to 106 and won their first victory in the season opener.

快船队那边格里芬空砍30分11板3助攻，保罗轰下20分10助攻的大号两双也无济于事。

马刺队这边，帕克得到了全队最高的24分4板7助攻，邓肯也有20分11板入账，格林和布莱尔各有9分入账。

替补席方面，唐天打了26分钟，10投5中，其中三分球7投4中得到了14分3板2助攻2抢断1盖帽。

After the game, Popovich took Duncan and Parker to the postgame press conference.

Before Tang Tian went to take a shower, he was caught by Ji Ji who was waiting at the door of the locker room early.

"You set a new career high, how do you feel now?"

"How did you manage to hit three three-pointers in a row?"

……

"It feels good."

"Feel good."

Tang Tian was now worried about Ginobili's injury, so he answered more casually.

After answering, he went in to take a quick shower, and then went to the hospital with Green to visit Ginobili.

The interview in the locker room here ended quickly, but Popovich's side was more lengthy.

About Ginobili's injury, about winning, about the performance of the players, and about Tang Tian.

"Coach, Tang played 30 minutes in this game, which is not a short time for a rookie. He only played 5 minutes less than Tony Parker." The reporter said.

"What the hell question are you asking, are you trying to say I'm giving him too much playing time?" Popovich looked at the reporter.

The reporter nodded.

"Damn it, can't you see his performance? If I wasn't so old that my brain couldn't work, I would definitely let him play for so long." Popovich cursed.

The reporter didn't dare to speak, maybe it was because of Ginobili's injury, it's not that the old man is in a better mood tonight.

The atmosphere at the press conference was suddenly a little cold.

"Yes, I am indeed old, I should give him more playing time."

However, what Popovich said next made the reporters at the press conference laugh again.

This kind of cold American humor is the old man's consistent style.

The NBA is a very professional league. Take away games as an example. The Spurs have an agreement with the team to stay in the hotel. They have to use more than 40 rooms at one time. Similarly, they will also have A hospital with an agreement.

Ginobili was sent to a designated hospital for an MRI examination.

When Tang Tian and Green passed by, Ginobili's examination had already been completed and he was resting on the hospital bed.

"Why did you come so early?" Ginobili was a little surprised when he saw the two, and it was less than half an hour before the end of the game.

"If Tang hadn't been pestered by reporters for a while, we could have come earlier." Green walked over with a smile.

"How do you feel?" He asked after walking over.

Because it takes 24 hours for the MRI test report to come out, Ginobili himself doesn't know the exact result yet.

"It's bad news." Ginobili shook his head. A veteran like him knows how many injuries he has.

"I had a brief exchange with Schmidt, and it is likely a fracture." Ginobili forced a smile and said.

The left wrist fracture, although it can be divided into mild and minor, but when it comes to the word fracture, at least one to two months of rest is required.

And it was his shooting hand that was injured, which may even be the most serious injury in Ginobili's career.

"But there is good news." Ginobili looked up at Tang Tian at this moment.

"You'll have more playing time, Don, play well, but don't wait for me to come back and the team is already a mess."

He said with a hint of doting in his eyes.

Ginobili actually admired Tang Tian very much.

Birds of a feather flock together, a person who plays with his brain will naturally be closer to his kind.

Tang Tian couldn't help laughing bitterly.

Ginobili is Ginobili, who is still talking dirty here after suffering such a serious injury.

But this is his character, he looks angry, but he is optimistic and positive.

"I will." Tang Tian nodded.

The lockout season is 2 months less than the normal season, but the league still arranges 66 regular season games in order to minimize losses.

That means there will be plenty of back-to-back games for each team.

After the Spurs beat the Clippers, they will play against the Lakers the next night.

The good news is that the Clippers and the Lakers share an arena in the same city, so they don't have to mess around anymore.

Ginobili's injury made Popovich more cautious. He only arranged a simple shooting drill the next day, and then let the players rest.

Taking advantage of this time, Tang Tian called Ridley Scott and tried to make an appointment with him.

It just so happened that the great director was in Los Angeles, so he directly invited him to his home as a guest.

Although Scott is British, he spends most of his time in Los Angeles, where it is normal to have real estate.

"What a rare guest, welcome, 'Godfather'." Scott greeted him at the door.

"Thank you." Tang Tian shook hands with Scott cordially, this great director gave him enough face.

"You said you had a new idea on the phone?" After inviting Tang Tian to sit down in the living room, he asked impatiently before the servant's coffee was brewed.

"Yes." Tang Tian nodded, that's what he told Scott on the phone before.

"What idea?" Scott looked at him brightly, he needed inspiration so much now.

"Do you know Andy Weir?" Tang Tian asked.

Scott shook his head.

"He is a writer." Tang Tian continued.

Scott still shook his head. He has read a lot of books at his age, but he has never heard of this person.

Scott's reaction is quite normal, and Andy Weir is only in his 40s, and the chances of Scott seeing the works of such a young writer are indeed small, but this is a good thing.

Tang Tian and Scott didn't have much contact, only the chat they had when they met in Hollywood last time.

Scott's personality, preferences and these things he can't fully understand for a while.

So it doesn't mean that Scott will react like "Wow, a good idea!", "You are simply a god's idea" when you move those movies from later generations.

Everyone has preferences, and it is not easy to match what they like.

But Tang Tian is a time traveler, and time travelers have benefits, so he can't figure out Scott's preferences all at once.

But there are some things Scott is 100% not saying no to.

"In 09, he wrote a very good science fiction online novel called "The Martian." Tang Tian continued.

"The Martian", a sci-fi movie that hit the fire in 2015 in the previous life.

The movie tells the story of an astronaut who was accidentally left on Mars due to a mechanical accident, then survived on his own, and finally escaped from Mars.

The film was a hit at the box office at the time and was nominated for seven Oscars that year.

Who is the director of this movie?

It was Ridley Scott in front of him.

I don't know your personality and hobbies, but if I tell you in advance the movies you will make in the future, you will definitely not refuse, right?

And the point is that this is the movie that was made a few years later.

"The name sounds good, what is it about?" Sure enough, Scott quickly showed interest.

"This novel..." Tang Tian then explained the general content of the "The Martian" novel, and also explained the concept of the movie along the way.

Scott's eyes lit up when he heard that, "Prometheus" he is currently filming is also a sci-fi movie, Tang Tian's new proposal is exactly what he wants.

"This novel is very similar to the theme of survival on an isolated island, but it is placed on an alien planet. Movies with this theme have always had a large audience."

"And I know that NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has been working on the exploration of Mars, seeking the possibility of human colonization of new planets, but because all exploration and research are confidential, in fact, the audience is very curious about this, if you can Make a semi-revealing film, and you're sure to be able to do well at the box office."

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Scott couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Should I pay your screenwriting fee?" Scott couldn't help asking after laughing.

"You should pay Andy Weir for the screenwriting fee. I just recommended the novel to you." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Scott nodded with a smile.

"I owe you a favor," he continued.

Although Tang Tian said it very lightly, but if Tang Tian didn't mention it, he still doesn't know when he will be able to get in touch with this novel.

"Actually, I have something to trouble you with." Tang Tian continued.

"Just say, as long as I can do it, even if you want to make a movie, I can be your director." Scott was really happy at the moment.

"No, no, it's not that exaggerated. That's it. I have a friend who is also an actor, but she is just a newcomer, but she is very good at acting. I hope she will have the opportunity to act in the movie "The Martian". Of course, I just recommend her. Whether you can use it or not can be decided after meeting." Tang Tian said.

What Olsen said last Christmas showed that she was in a very bad situation now, and Tang Tian came to Scott today for this reason.

"no problem."

Scott answered very simply. He had just heard the content of the novel. The core of the movie is actually just the male protagonist. The others have very few roles, and the role of a supporting actress is insignificant in comparison.

And Tang Tian also said that it was just a recommendation, he was already polite and couldn't be more polite, he had no reason to refuse.

The two chatted for a while, and agreed to meet again in a week.

After leaving Scott's house, Tang Tian called Olsen and told her the news.

Olsen was very excited over there. This time, Tang Tian even helped her get the script added. This is really more than just helping.

After finishing the matter of Olsen, Tang Tian went back to the hotel.

That night, the game between the Spurs and the Lakers started at the Staples Center.

The Lakers traded away the team's sixth man Odom in the new season. Coupled with the fact that the core lineup is one year older, the overall strength has declined a lot.

Although the Spurs lack Ginobili, their overall strength is still much stronger than that of the Lakers. In the end, they defeated their opponents 98 to 91 and ushered in a two-game winning streak.

Tang Tian's performance was still remarkable. He played 26 minutes, made 7 of 4 shots, scored 3 three-pointers and 2 free throws. He contributed 13 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks, including after the fourth quarter. A key three-pointer in the half.

Ginobili was tied and fixed on the sidelines wearing a suit. At the end of the game, he pulled Tang Tian with his uninjured right hand and shouted and shouted, looking extremely excited.

This is also normal. Tang Tian scored the most points from the bench in both games. This performance is equivalent to filling in his scoring gaps. How could he not be excited.
