The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Since the Clippers were abused by 58 points in the playoffs last season, the two teams have become rivals, and every match after that has attracted much attention.

The dressing room before the game.

"These guys really make people so uncomfortable every time!"

Dio couldn't help frowning and said while playing with his mobile phone.

"I'm used to it."

Tang Tian spread his hands and said.

The nature of the country is easy to change, and this Clippers team is such a Clippers team.

Green glanced at Tang Tian at this moment, hesitant to speak.

They were talking when Popovich walked in.

"Don, get ready to guard Paul and Crawford tonight."

The first thing Popovich said after he came in was to Tang Tian alone.

Tang Tian froze for a moment when he heard this.

But he immediately nodded with a smile.

Finally, Popovich couldn't hold back anymore?

He actually knows why his playing time has decreased recently.

When he was the godfather in his previous life, he often saw other teams doing this in order to suppress contracts.

But as a player, there is actually not much you can do about this.

Especially for players with short-term contracts and small contracts, you have nothing to say if you are in a hurry with the team's dnp.

And more importantly, the buyout deadline has passed, and even if he actively applies for waivers, he will not be able to play in the playoffs.

So his choice is to play as efficiently as possible in a limited time.

He played his own value and also reflected his indispensability. It is only a matter of time before his playing time recovers.

Chapter 363 Whoa!It smells so good! (6/10, A Long Aotian Wan reward plus more!)

Half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides left the locker room and came to the stadium one after another.

Paul, Griffin, Jordan, the Big Three of the Clippers all had smiles on their faces.

Although it was only Griffin who expressed his opinion in front of the media, it was obvious that the three brothers had similar thoughts, and they all regarded tonight as a night of revenge.

The fans at the scene were upset when they saw their beating expressions.

Fortunately, the mood of the Spurs players also looks pretty good.

This is a fairly positive sign.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

Both sides are regular lineups.

After the game started, the situation on the field quickly became heated.

Because of the losing streak, the Spurs' players on the court really don't feel as good as before the All-Star Game.

The Clippers are in a hot state. Under the leadership of Paul and Griffin, they played impressively on the offensive end.

But defense is still an unsolved problem for this Clippers team.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 29 to 26, and the Clippers held a weak 3-point lead.

The game entered the second quarter, and the two sides changed players.

The Spurs have a full bench lineup, with Mills and Ginobili on the outside, Green and Diaw on the striker, and Blair at the center.

The Clippers also have a full bench, with Billups and Bledsoe on the outside, Jamal Crawford and Matt Barnes on the front, and Odom at the center.

Green missed a three-pointer in the frontcourt, and Odom protected the defensive rebound.

The Clippers attacked the frontcourt, Crawford held the ball, and Barnes put up a pick-and-roll screen.

This is a very standard small lineup for the Clippers. Barnes swings from the [-]rd position to the [-]th position. The quality of the pick-and-roll is average, but the speed is very fast.

Crawford seized the moment when Barnes' pick-and-roll was formed, and directly accelerated to break through. Dior, who was facing the defensive switch, made an emergency stop.

Dior's speed obviously couldn't keep up.

"Shh!"

Crawford's emergency stop hit firmly.

The Spurs' offense and Dior's open three-pointer at the top of the arc also failed to grasp.

Crawford went to the frontcourt and was pressed by Green. He ran off the ball to receive a pass from Billups, dribbled to the basket and made a layup.

As soon as the second quarter came up, he scored 4 points in a row!

As the former best sixth man, his scoring ability is quite explosive.

If it weren't for his poor defensive ability, Crawford would definitely be an All-Star player.

The Spurs finally scored a goal by Ginobili's serpentine layup in the frontcourt.

Looking back, Crawford was playing well, facing Green's continuous dribbling outside the three-point line.

The ball seemed to be stuck in his hands.

In his words, he is the best player in the NBA who uses streetball skills.

A fake move to break through, the left leg is all stepped out, but a crotch back pulls the ball back suddenly.

Green was lied to.

Crawford made a direct three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Basketball hit the net.

He scored 7 points in a row!

36 to 28, the Clippers lead the Spurs by 8 points!

The Clippers bench boiled for a while.

Paul jumped up from under the bench, yelling excitedly.

The team has Crawford this season, and they finally don't have to collapse in the transition from the bench like they did with the Spurs before.

The fans on the sidelines were restless.

Sure enough, as they discussed on the hotline before, the Spurs were not just due to Tang Tian's lack of playing time, but the whole team had problems.

Popovich turned around and called Tang Tian.

Ginobili's breakthrough layup in the frontcourt caused Odom's thug foul.

The game goes dead ball.

Ginobili's first penalty miss.

Tang Tian came on to replace Mills.

"Going to Don at this time? Popovich is finally ready to use Don more?"

"It's useless. The current problem cannot be solved by Tang alone. The state of the Spurs is really a problem."

"Yeah, Manu can't make free throws, and if he doesn't solve the problem of offense, it's useless for Tang to play."

……

When Tang Tian came on the field, the fans on the hotline also started to discuss heatedly.

Ginobili made the second free throw, and the Spurs narrowed the point difference to 7 points.

Crawford held the ball in the frontcourt and saw that the defender was Tang Tian, ​​so he directly changed to the back and pulled up.

He is very confident in his state.

However, he obviously underestimated Tang Tian's current defensive state.

Tang Tian's immediate jumping interference almost directly blocked the shot.

"boom!"

Crawford's shot was obviously short, and the ball hit the front of the basket.

However, Odom won the offensive long rebound at this time, and made another shot to score.

The Spurs attacked in the frontcourt. Ginobili broke through and gave the ball to Blair under the basket. Blair dribbled and then shot, but was interfered by Odom who rushed back, and the ball slid out of the basket after the shot!

"Look, I'm right! The Spurs really have a problem!"

"Yeah, Don might be able to defend a few rounds, but that's not going to help."

……

The fans on the hotline continued to discuss that the Spurs' defense and offense in the past were really problematic.

Tang Tian also felt it.

But he wasn't surprised, or thought it was completely normal.

Although his reduced playing time is the main reason for the Spurs' losing streak, but a team that has lost three games in a row will be in good shape.

His choice is to concentrate on it.

Teammates can be out of shape, but he must go all out!

The Clippers played brilliantly in the frontcourt, Bradsoe and Billups played continuous passing, and Barnes went to the basket to catch the ball and it was an excellent scoring opportunity.

He hits the board quickly.

"boom!"

But at this moment, a figure flew over from behind him, and directly hit the big nail on the board!

Tang Tian!

His dynamic vision is fully open, predicting the Clippers' offense!

After the big cap, he jumped up again and grabbed the defensive rebound!

The ball was given to Ginobili, and he quickly followed suit.

Ginobili dribbled the ball behind his back and turned around to pass Bledsoe. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Tang Tian who was following up. He felt a very familiar intimacy.

In the previous games, because the team reduced Tang Tian's playing time, he hadn't played with Tang Tian for a long time.

a no.look.pass.

Tang Tian caught the ball and chased him for a three-pointer.

The ball whirled through the air through a high parabola.

"Shh!"

Basketball hit the net.

There was cheers at the scene.

Tang Tian's three-pointer is crucial.

Crawford attacked again in the frontcourt, this time Tang Tian seized the timing and directly jumped up to block the shot.

"Snapped!"

The ball was blocked head-on!

In the competition for the floor ball in the midfield, Green had quick eyesight and quick hands. He threw himself down to get the ball at the first time, and then threw it to Ginobili.

Ginobili dribbled forward and dashed forward. After hitting Bledsoe to the basket, he flicked the ball to the right at a 45-degree angle.

Tang Tian followed up with a fast break, and made a three-pointer after catching the ball.
