169 A Bad News And A Good News (1/5)
Chapter 169 A bad news and a good news (15)
"Oh! God!"
Some fans can't bear to watch it, they don't know what language to use to describe their emotions.
This three-point shot really makes people lose their temper!
You must know that this is 2011, and the number of three-pointers is far less than later, and the shooting percentage is generally low!
Even the shooting percentages of super shooters like Ray Allen and Reggie Miller are only about 40%!
Although it is an open three-pointer, but the shot is accurate, Novak's shooting speed is very slow, and the shooting rate of fast shots is relatively limited. Tang Tian is so accurate and stable, and his shots are not slow, he is really the first. .
Of course, there is another point. Tang Tian's movement speed in the third position is also a bit fast. Whether it is Butler who is the main defense or Griffin who is the supplementary defense, they can't keep up.
In the third position, Paul realized something, went to the frontcourt and signaled Butler to catch the ball with his back, and then gave the ball in.
Jefferson was sitting off the court, and Tang Tian was currently playing the third position. His height and weight would be a disadvantage in this position.
Although Butler is 31 years old and has suffered a serious knee injury, he still has strength as a member of the former "Wizards Trident". His weight and experience still have an advantage in this matchup.
Butler leaned on Tang Tian with his back and gouged in. His strength was indeed much stronger than Tang Tian after losing weight.
Tang Tian sank his weight and went to the top. This old senior, who also graduated from the University of Kangda, didn't spare any strength when he hit.
After Butler hit the low post, he turned and fell back. He was still afraid of Duncan's deterrence at the basket.
This hit hit Tang Tianxia's arms, and the block he saved interfered.
"boom!"
Butler's fallback was disturbed and missed, and the rebound was grabbed by Duncan.
His singles failed!
The Spurs' frontcourt attack, Tang Tian was stared to death by Paul.
But after Paul went with Tang Tian, Parker could only be defended by Billups.
Billups still has fuel in his offensive fuel tank, but defensively, he seems to have more than enough energy.
Parker quickly scored a breakthrough throw, and the Spurs once again opened the point difference to 24 points.
For the Clippers' offense, Butler continued to play Tang Tian in the frontcourt, this time he chose to turn around and hit the basket.
Tang Tian grabbed the position under the basket and stretched out his hand to interfere, but his turn and layup still missed.
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.
Griffin scored 30 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists for the Clippers, and Paul's large double-double of 20 points and 10 assists did not help.
For the Spurs, Parker scored a team-high 24 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists. Duncan also scored 20 points and 11 rebounds. Green and Blair scored 9 points each.
On the bench, Tang Tian played 26 minutes and made 5 of 10 shots, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, scoring 14 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
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 the reporter 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.
Fractures of the left wrist can be divided into mild and serious, but when it comes to the word fracture, you should rest for at least one to two months.
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.
