The invincible kryptonite of basketball

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.

Chapter 155 Desperate Jackson (9/10)

Before Jackson could react, Tang Tianxia had already given the ball to Ginobili in a second.

After receiving the ball, Ginobili turned around and made a fast break, throwing off Harden and rushing to the frontcourt to score one-stop.

The Spurs played a 5-0 spurt and narrowed the point difference to 2 points!

There was a commotion at the scene. After Tang Tian came up, he made a three-pointer and a steal. His performance was a bit eye-catching!

Jackson glanced at Brooks as he dribbled forward, then at Durant.

Brooks frowned tightly, while Durant looked serious. Obviously, both the head coach and the team boss were dissatisfied with his performance during this period.

"damn it!"

He cursed in his heart, and then he was concentrating on it, his eyes were burning. He didn't believe that his hard training in the summer would have no effect at all.

He will prove it in the next round!Proof that everyone underestimated him!

After dribbling to the frontcourt, he continued to signal to pull away.

Harden pulled away at this time, and stretched out his hand to signal the audience to give some encouraging cheers.

He is a good teammate.

The audience cheered and whistled everywhere.

American fans love to watch this kind of heroic basketball. If you defend me, I will hit back the next ball!

Westbrook also got up to applaud his younger brother at this time, which is very demeanor.

Feeling the enthusiasm from the fans at the scene, Jackson's blood was boiling with excitement. He glanced at Tang Tian in front of him, lowered his center of gravity and continuously changed directions in front of him.

Tang Tian is ten centimeters taller than him. If he can still be broken at the frequency just now, then Tang Tian will definitely not be able to break it if he lowers his center of gravity!

He changed direction continuously, lowered the dribble height, and made another breakthrough to the right.

"boom!"

Tang Tian successfully predicted the position grab and blocked his breakthrough route. Jackson accelerated and bumped into his chest, and his body was a little out of balance.

"Snapped!"

In the next second, amidst the restlessness of the audience, Tang Tian stood up first, and then stretched out his hand to pat the ball in Jackson's hand with precision.

Another steal!

Ginobili rushed over to grab the ball, then flicked it to the fast-breaking Leonard.

Leonard made a fast break from the backcourt to the frontcourt, cleverly avoided Cook's block, and sent the ball steadily into the basket.

A wave of 7 to 0, the Spurs directly tied the score!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Brooks reached out and called a timeout.

This period of the team's performance is a bit bad.

"Nick, you mentioned doing a pick-and-roll at a high position, lightning strikes, and using the pick-and-roll to break through. Bonner is their defensive weakness." Brooks said quickly. He really knows how to train rookies. Instead of replacing him, or not allowing him to play, they arranged tactics specifically for him.

This is his absolute trust in the players. At the beginning, Durant was under this kind of trust, and he made great achievements in the iron, and now he has become the hottest star in the league.

Jackson was encouraged after listening.

After Brooks finished setting up his tactics, Westbrook also took the initiative to reach out and pat Jackson on the chest to encourage him.

The timeout ended and players from both sides returned to the field one after another.

"Blow him up, we believe in you if you can do it." Durant also pulled Jackson and said quickly.

Jackson nodded vigorously, bowed his head and roared, regaining his morale and returning to the court.

The Thunder's offense, Jackson's frontcourt holding the ball, Harden's tactical command on the sidelines, and after the other players opened up space, Collison mentioned the high position to cover for Jackson's pick-and-roll.

Bonner is a space four, with a stable three-pointer, but defense is his weakness, and Brooks made the right choice.

After Collison's pick-and-roll, Jackson broke through to the right with the ball at full speed.

But at this moment, Tang Tian's familiar figure appeared before his eyes again!

The moment Collison put up the pick-and-roll, Tang Tian's professional instinct let him know exactly what the Thunder wanted to do.

Jackson's shooting ability is not good, he immediately chooses to make a step and not to switch defenses for the pick-and-roll.

The tactics Brooks wanted didn't work.

Tang Tian was a bit shadowed by Jackson's two consecutive missed goals. Seeing Tang Tian unexpectedly appearing in front of him, he was a little confused and didn't react immediately.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand to steal, this time it was completely different from the previous ones, he directly snatched the ball from Jackson's hands with both hands!

Jackson reacted in the next second and wanted to catch the ball back, but he didn't grab it!

Really tough grab!

The fans at the scene were stunned. Is this basketball or rugby? !

For a moment, they saw the shadow of Gary Payton from Tang Tian's body in a daze!

That historically famous "glove" likes to do this kind of hard grabbing!

Of course, Tang Tian can't have Payton's ability now. Even because of his physical fitness, he still can't give full play to Tony Allen's defensive strength. He is now completely relying on individual defense and dynamic vision. achieve the effect.

And it was also because of Jackson's lack of experience that he always went to the right for breakthroughs, and he was stunned for a moment before being snatched by him.

But no matter what, the visual effect of this steal is quite explosive!

Tang Tian gave the ball to Ginobili immediately after the steal.

Ginobili took the ball and threw it directly from the backcourt. The ball was given to Leonard who was about to come down. Leonard made a layup and confronted Cook before scoring the ball.

The fans at the scene were restless. After this period of confrontation, they have already discovered that Jackson is not Tang Tian's opponent at all.

Popovich nodded approvingly from the sidelines before stepping back to the bench.

The team's two rookies, Leonard's defense and quick subconscious are very good, Tang Tian's defense and three-point performance are a bit bursting, the Spurs have not strengthened this summer, and even lost his most trusted substitute before. George Hill, but for now, it seems that having these two rookies is enough.

The Thunder's offense, Thunder Jackson's call to Collison's pick-and-roll has not yet been completed. Looking at Tang Tian in front of him, he chose to pass the ball, but made a low-level error and directly passed the ball out of bounds.

After Jackson made a mistake, he shook his hands violently, and he almost slapped himself.

The fans at the scene have seen the word despair from his performance.

In fact, thinking about being any rookie, being intercepted by the defender three times in a row, and once the ball was taken out of his hand, it is difficult not to collapse in my heart. This is really desperate!

At this time, Brooks also realized that Jackson's strength was not Tang Tian's opponent, so he got up and called Westbrook to replace him in advance.

Durant was very upset. He got up and signaled to Brooks to play, but Brooks pushed him back. He wanted to win the game and didn't want to disrupt the rotation order.

Durant sat back on the bench very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do.

On the Spurs bench, Parker was laughing stupidly on the sidelines at this moment. Tang Tian had abruptly put Westbrook on the field ahead of time!

Duncan reached out and touched Parker's head at this time, and he could fully see his happiness from his expression.

This team has not had such a strong rookie for a long time.

And this time, two at a time.

Chapter 156 Rookie Tricky (10/10! Beg for the first order!)

When Popovich saw the Thunder starting early, he also got up and called Green and Parker, replacing Tang Tian and Ginobili.

Thanks to Tang Tian's strong performance against Jackson, the Spurs stalemate in the first half, and the two sides tied at 45 after halftime.

In the second half, Parker, who hadn't played much in the first half, ushered in an explosion. His consecutive fast break layups and throws directly helped the Spurs establish a double-digit lead.

Although Durant made successive mid-range and long-range shots to help the home team chase points, the stable output of Duncan and Ginobili allowed the Spurs to have the last laugh with 95 to 90.

杜兰特得到了全场最高的32分，威斯布鲁克也有20分5板5助攻的表现，但是哈登发挥低迷只得到8分5助攻。

马刺队这边，帕克得到全队最高的23分7助攻，邓肯16分10板，吉诺比利15分5助攻，布莱尔12分6板。

Tang Tian also got the chance to play again in the second half. He got a chance to score another goal from outside the three-point line. He played for 10 minutes and scored 2 points, 2 rebound and 6 steals on 1 of 4 shots. He played quite efficiently.

The Spurs locker room erupted with laughter after the game.

"Good job, if you play this well again, the old man might let you start." Ginobili put Tang Tian's shoulders on his shoulders and said flirtatiously.

"I'm going to treat the whole team to eat pizza." Tang Tian also responded with sassy words.

At this moment, Tang Tian felt someone touch his head, and when he turned around, it was Duncan, looking at him kindly.

This guy didn't touch Parker enough during the game, so he ran over to touch him!

Hitting the ground running, the Spurs are off to a very good start to the lockout season.

With the joy of winning, the Spurs returned to San Antonio, their second preseason game against the Pistons.

There are four days of rest in the middle, because the atmosphere of the team's training is very harmonious because of the win.

Popovich also seized the time to let Tang Tian and the others adapt to the tactics. After the day's training, Budenholzer took them alone in the office to make up tactics.

In the locker room, Parker, Duncan and Ginobili are three rows in the shower room.

After rushing ahead of schedule, Jefferson suddenly said, "We haven't prepared gifts for the rookies this year, have we?"

When he opened his mouth, there was a burst of whistles from other teammates.

There is an unwritten rule in the NBA, that is, when a rookie arrives on the team, they will be tricked by the old players. The most famous one is Arenas, who soaked all the clothes and shoes of the rookie Andre Blatche in the bathtub , and later even got a bunch of shit inside his sneakers.

Of course, that's just an extreme situation. The general pranks are nothing more than ordering the rookies to buy them donuts or burgers, or asking the rookies to help the old players carry their bags.

Although the Spurs have a relatively good team atmosphere, this kind of thing is unavoidable. Parker had carried bags for Duncan and Ginobili back then.

This is already a custom in the NBA, even an experience.

"Let them buy us donuts," Blair said. Donuts are a favorite food for all Americans.

"Yes, it's a great proposal. I want to eat the donuts 'Godfather' bought for me." Ginobili just came out of the wash at this time, and said directly.

His words immediately caused a burst of laughter in the locker room.

"No no, that's too boring. Last year James (Anderson) bought us donuts." Jefferson shook his head and said.

"What proposal do you have?" Ginobili opened his mouth and looked at Jefferson.

"I saw that Tang came to practice by car, how about a cart of popcorn?" Jefferson said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was another whistle in the locker room. The popcorn trick is almost every team's favorite.

"No, Richard, that's not fair, Leonard and Joseph don't have a car." Green reminded.

"That's all the more appropriate, he only bought a car in the first year." Jefferson continued.

His words also attracted a burst of echo from his teammates. Many NBA players came from poor families. Tang Tian was easily jealous of buying a car in his first year as a rookie.

"Why don't you carry the bag, so that each of them has a share." Green suggested.
