172 Soup Style Bitterness (4/5)

Chapter 172 Soup Style Bitterness (45)

"How is it? Isn't it handsome?" Tang Tian touched his new hairstyle while talking.

This hairstyle, besides being eye-catching and adding height, has another point, it is easy to stick and difficult to touch.

His original intention of doing hair was to prevent Duncan from touching it.

"No, it's ugly, it doesn't look like you I know at all." Thompson continued to complain, this is the first time he saw this hairstyle in the NBA.

"No no, Clay, you have to keep up with the trend of the times, and don't spend too much time on nightclubs." Tang Tian said.

"That doesn't matter, just watch, I will beat you in this game."

Thompson is full of confidence tonight, on the one hand, because facing Tang Tian makes him high-spirited.

Curry, on the other hand, won't be able to play this game because of an ankle injury, and he will start.

"I'll wait." Tang Tian touched his new hairstyle as he spoke.

Touching and groping, he suddenly had a bad premonition, how could it be easier to touch it than before?

In the home opening game, the attendance rate of the ATT Center Arena exceeded 70%, which was more than double that of the preseason.

Although it is not comparable to the previous Los Angeles ball market, it is already considered very good.

The pre-match warm-up was over, and the scene entered the opening ceremony. The starters of the visiting team and the home team were introduced one after another.

For the Warriors, Curry was sidelined due to injury. The starting lineups were Monta Ellis and Thompson, the strikers were Dorell Wright and David Lee, and center Andris Biedrins.

The Spurs followed the previous starting lineup, with Parker and Green still on the outside, Jefferson and Duncan on the striker, and Blair at the center.

Jump ball for Duncan and Biedrins.

In the opening match, the fans at the scene were in a good mood, and there was a burst of cheers at the beginning.

Amid the cheers of the audience, "Stone Buddha" took advantage of his wingspan to jump and beat Biedrins on the opposite side, and finally saved some face for himself.

You must know that in the previous games, he lost to the jumping man on the opposite side.

The Spurs went first.

In the new season, the Warriors hired Mark Jackson, the former ESPN ace commentator, as the team's new coach, preparing to change the image of poor defense in the past.

It turns out that it still works.

Although Jackson has not taken over for a long time, you can clearly feel the difference in this Warriors team from the defensive positions of the players and the echoes between them.

Parker took advantage of Duncan's pick-and-roll breakthrough layup and was interfered by Biedrins. The rebound was taken by David Lee who was helping to defend, and the Spurs' first offense was blocked.

However, the Warriors' defense has improved, but their offense has not improved much.

In the 2006-07 season, the previously glorious Warriors team, led by Nelson, used bombardment tactics and defeated the top Mavericks to create a miraculous "Black Eight Miracle".

But in fact, since then, the Warriors' offense has not had much structure. The so-called bombardment is basically a pick-and-roll plus defensive counterattack and throwing a three-pointer.

After the group of black eight players left the team one after another, the bombardment turned into wild shooting, and a team atmosphere formed, and all the people who came were only good at shooting wildly.

Jackson improved the team's defense but failed to change their offense.

Ellis went to the frontcourt and jumped out of the basket with a three-pointer from the outside of the pick-and-roll.

Blair took the backhand rebound, and Parker organized the attack again. This time he stretched out his hand and played the Zip hammer tactic, obviously more patient than before.

After all, the Warriors have just established the team. After the Spurs cooperated more, they quickly lost their defensive position.

Green was emptied in the bottom corner, and he also seized the opportunity to raise the knife after receiving the ball.

Looking back, Ellis used the pick-and-roll to break through and gave the ball to Wright on the outside. Wright caught the ball and continued to throw it, but still missed.

Duncan took the rebound, and the Spurs went to the frontcourt to continue playing tactics. This time Parker made a quick layup from the inside.

The opening rounds of the two sides almost became the keynote of this quarter.

The Warriors are all kinds of throws from the outside, but the Spurs are basically in place defensively, and their shooting percentage is very low.

But looking back, the Spurs played steadily, and the Warriors were completely unable to defend.

The point difference got bigger and bigger. After 6 minutes in the first quarter, the score was 14 to 4. The Spurs had a double-digit lead.

Mark Jackson yelled at the players on the sidelines at the beginning, and then sat weakly on the sidelines, completely losing his temper.

It's not a sudden thing for this Warriors team to switch styles.

Tang Tian was sitting off the court at this time, feeling a little bit bitter for Thompson.

Although he started, he basically didn't touch the ball, so he ran back and forth. It's better to play as a substitute!

Ellis missed another strong three-pointer.

Jackson finally couldn't stand it anymore, and called up Nate Robinson and Brandon Rush from the bench, and asked them to play to replace Ellis and Wright.

Although Nate Robinson is short, he prefers to break through and distribute the ball than Ellis.

His playing gave the Warriors some more offensive tactics, and Thompson finally got a chance at this time.

The off-ball running position on the outside got consecutive opportunities. He hit 2 goals in 3 three-pointers, helping the Warriors narrow the point difference to single digits.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Popovich called Tang Tian and Splitter up to replace Jefferson and Duncan.

"Follow up to that Klay Thompson." Before going on the field, the old man pulled Tang Tian alone and said, it was obvious that he trusted Tang Tian's defense very much.

"No problem." Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

When he was in the NCAA before, he defended Thompson who doubted his life. When it comes to the NBA, he doesn't mind doing it again.

Who told this guy to go to nightclubs every day and mocked his hairstyle.

Parker's breakthrough caused a foul by Biedrins and got two free throw opportunities.

Both sides took advantage of the dead ball to make substitutions.

On the Warriors' side, Ai Pai Udo also played to lift Biedrins.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the sidelines.

Many of them noticed Tang Tian's mohawk hairstyle at this time, it was simply too eye-catching!

The photographers on the scene also took the shots as soon as possible.

Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of whistles in the arena, and Tang Tian's sense of contrast was too strong.

"I said, you will be the focus." When Tang Tian passed by Green, Green couldn't help but said.

Tang Tian nodded and walked to the side of the free throw line. Beside him was Thompson, both of whom were playing small forwards.

Speaking of which, although the two have worked hard together for a summer, except for the previous NCAA regular season, the two have never met in an official arena.

This is the first time.

"I already scored 6 points." Thompson said without turning his head.

Although Tang Tian couldn't see it, he could still feel the little pride in his eyes.

"You can only score 6 points in this game." Tang Tian replied.
