Chapter 230 If You Don’t Make the Vote, You Will Be Sent a Car (Fifth Change)

After halftime adjustments, Tang Tian's touch finally recovered.

The lid of his own basket was finally lifted by him!

Carlisle reached out and called a timeout.

Tang made these two three-pointers in the second half, and the Spurs played a 10-2 offensive and successfully overtook the score!

"Reggie, it seems that we made a mistake in the first half. He was not nervous, and he was not affected by Jason's words."

Brin said.

"Yes, he just simply didn't find the touch."

Miller also nodded at this time.

If Duncan's 4 points in a row sounded the counterattack horn, then Tang Tian's two three-pointers directly pushed the momentum of the counterattack to a climax.

Back from the timeout, the Mavericks made substitution adjustments, and Terry came on to replace Heywood.

The Mavericks came back in the second half to score 2 points. Carlisle clearly wanted to improve the team's offense.

Kidd's frontcourt organization, Terry continued to use Nowitzki and Marion's pick-and-roll to run off the ball.

However, this running position did not let him get rid of the defense.

When he finished running, Tang Tian still followed closely behind him.

Terry is not a player who is good at running without the ball, let alone Thompson who is blocked by Tang Tian and has no chance to catch the ball.

But Terry obviously not only knows how to catch and shoot, he ran directly to Kidd, and directly chose to attack with the ball after receiving the ball.

Without calling the pick-and-roll, Terry chose a sudden three-pointer after continuous dribbling.

This is also the way he is best at scoring.

However, Tang Tian made a prediction in advance, so he rushed directly to interfere.

Tang Tian was more than ten centimeters taller than Terry, and his wingspan was not short. Coupled with his anticipation, he stretched out his hand to completely cover Terry's shooting sight.

Terry's shot is a direct non-stick.

There was booing.

Terry played bravely in the finals last season, but his state has obviously declined this season.

And it seemed that those slobbery words didn't affect Tang Tian, ​​on the contrary, it made him a little overconfident.

In Tang Tian's case, his rookie season has already proved that he is a top perimeter defender, and Terry is so capable.

Diaw got the rebound and passed forward directly. Parker caught the ball and made a fast break to the frontcourt for a layup. The Spurs overtook the Mavericks by 3 points.

The score from this quarter to the scene was 12 to 2.

In the first half, the Mavericks played like the defending champions, but this time in the second half, the Spurs played their No. 1 strength in the Western Conference!

Terry continued to play with the ball in the frontcourt. This time he didn't force Tang Tian, ​​but called Marion to the three-point line to do a pick-and-roll.

However, Tang Tian was very tight and didn't give Marion a chance to pick and roll.

Terry tried unsuccessfully several times. Marion was a little anxious and blocked directly, but was blown by the referee to move the pick-and-roll.

Another mistake!

There were constant whistles on the scene, this is the scene where the No. 1 and No. 8 players in the Western Conference should have! !

In the Spurs' frontcourt attack, Parker gave the ball directly to Diaw in the high position, and then signaled his teammates to pull away.

After Haywood left the field, Nowitzki became the fifth position of the Mavericks, and the Mavericks were obviously empty inside.

Although the old driver has no solution to offense, he has never been a player who is good at defense.

Dior leaned his back against Nowitzki and arched his big ass straight in.

Dirk Nowitzki was obviously overwhelmed.

At this time, Tang Tian was playing off-ball running with Duncan, and Marion's help defense couldn't make it through.

Diaw hit the penalty area, kicked Nowitzki away, wiped the board and put the ball into the basket.

When he was young, Dior was also a master who flew into the sky and escaped from the earth, but now, he is a master who lives on his butt!

The Spurs in turn led the Mavericks by 5 points!

Popovich was all smiles.

Tang Tian's two three-pointers were not just as simple as scoring 6 points.

The Spurs' hammer tactic is very particular about space. As the main end point of the tactic, Tang Tian can't make a shot, and it is difficult to fight without a sense of space on the court.

But now that Tang Tian scored 2 goals in a row, the Mavericks obviously didn't dare to accept them. This was the reason why Dior played so easily inside.

It didn't help that Terry was defended by Tang Tian. The Mavericks still had to rely on Nowitzki.

The old driver took the ball from outside the three-point line and shot straight in, twisting and sending the ball into the basket.

After a long scoring drought, the Mavericks finally added points.

But looking back, Leonard's air cut and Dior's layup also scored.

The inside line of the Mavericks really feels a bit useless.

Carlisle could only wake up Mahinmi, let him go up to replace Marion, and put Nowitzki back in the fourth position.

This time Terry held the ball and looked for Nowitzki's pick-and-roll in the frontcourt, but Tang Tian stuck to him and refused to give him a chance.

He chose to take the initiative to break into the mid-range one-step shot.

Dior slapped his hand away!

The audience on the sidelines saw the climax directly.

There is heavy fog in the holy city tonight, and the jet seems to have no chance to take off!

Terry can't open it, and the Mavericks' offensive focus is all on Nowitzki's side.

Nowitzki's lack of solutions is relative. Last year, the Mavericks claimed to win the championship with a single core, but Terry averaged 18+ points per game in the finals, which helped him a lot.

Now that his teammates can't help him, his defensive pressure has doubled, and the decline in efficiency is obvious.

The game on the court is still going on, but the Spurs have completely taken the initiative on the court.

The Mavericks let go of a wave of core rotation in the summer, but the most important thing is Chandler.

Chandler is the Mavericks' biggest barrier inside. This season, the Knicks still averaged 11.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game.

His role is completely irreplaceable for Heywood and Mahinmi.

Without him, the Mavericks are really full of holes inside.

In the first half, Tang Tian didn't open it and they could rely on defense to make up for it, but in the second half Tang Tian found his touch, and his weakness was completely exposed.

The Spurs beat the Mavericks 30 to 10 in a single quarter in the third quarter, and at the end of the third quarter they led by 13 points.

And the more obvious difference in score is the situation on the court. The Mavericks really don't see any hope of a comeback.

The Spurs made persistent efforts in the fourth quarter, and finally beat the Mavericks 97 to 81, winning the first victory of the series.

The score of the two sides in the entire second half was 59 to 36, and the difference of 23 points was the real strength gap between the two teams.

Duncan scored the most points for the Spurs. At the age of 35, he scored a large double-double with 25 points and 11 rebounds. Parker scored 20 points and 9 assists, and Ginobili scored 11 points.

Tang Tian made 0 of 4 shots in the first half, but made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the second half, and made 4 of 9 shots in the game. He also scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block in addition to 1 of 2 free throws.

"I told him at halftime that if he doesn't make another shot in the second half, he's going to have to buy me a new car."

In the post-match press conference, when it came to Tang Tian's performance changes in the first and second half, Popovich also said it jokingly.

Thanks to Jian Wang for the reward.
