The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Durant didn't have a good chance to catch the ball, and Westbrook made a breakthrough and missed one.

Splitter protected the defensive rebound.

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian continued to run and catch the ball for a three-pointer.

Sefolosha was blocked by Duncan, and Ibaka's pursuit and defense couldn't keep up with Tang Tian's speed.

Durant turned around to help defend after seeing it, but the moment he ran, Tang Tian didn't turn his head, just glanced at it, and the ball in his hand had been sent directly.

The basketball was accurately delivered to Green's hands.

Green's first shot of the game.

"Shh!"

Shoot the ball in!

After the starting position was squeezed out by Tang Tian last season, because Ginobili was on the shooting guard, Green appeared more often at the third position on the bench, and his playing time was much less than when he was starting.

But he didn't give up, or complain like Jefferson did.

What he does is to continue to train hard and adjust his competitive state to the best.

He really did what he said to Tang Tian at the beginning, he was in a healthy competition with Tang Tian.

As a result of the competition, he averaged 2.2 three-pointers per game in the preseason.

The opening opportunity just now gave people a sense of solidity that was not there last season.

11 is better than 9!

The Spurs overtook the score!

Brooks reached out and called a timeout.

There were constant whistles at the scene.

"Green, Don, Leonard, they are all improving. The Spurs didn't make any signings in the summer, but they have become stronger than last season."

Kenny Smith had sharp eyes.

It's also why the game of basketball isn't just about lineups on paper.

You don't know their chemistry until the actual fight, and you don't know their status.

Of course, there is also what Smith said just now, the progress and regression of players.

Therefore, the analysis and prediction are just analysis and prediction. Only when all players play in the regular season can we see the true strength of a team.

"Don't double-team Tang lightly. His passing is very threatening now. Try to be as fast as possible when changing."

Brooks spoke quickly.

Although he is not a tactical coach, his insight is still good.

After the timeout, the Thunder's offense, Durant restrained the defense, Westbrook suddenly scored Ibaka, and Ibaka scored with a one-handed slam dunk.

The Thunder's bench was boiling, and this dunk boosted morale.

11 flats!

The game is in turmoil!

The Spurs proved that they still have the strength to win the championship, and the Thunder also showed their confidence in continuing to compete for the championship!

The Spurs continued to play hammer tactics in the frontcourt.

In the finals last season, Duncan killed all sides in the interior and won the FMVP with both offense and defense, but he couldn't and wouldn't play like that in the regular season.

These old guys need to save their physical strength for the playoffs, and the regular season is basically playing tactics with the team.

AI hammer tactics, Tang Tian took advantage of Duncan's pick-and-roll opportunity at the top of the arc.

Durant didn't assist in the defense, and Ibaka was a little slower to make up the defense. After Tang Tian received the ball, he directly shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The three-pointer shoots up and down!

Tang Tian's second three-pointer in the first quarter!

Kobe wrote in "Mamba Mentality": The NBA season is bitter and long. Most players will reduce their training during the offseason, but he will not, and he will even go because he has more spare time. Increase the amount of training, which is why he maintains a first-class competitive state every season.

Tang Tian doesn't have the Mamba spirit, but his offseason approach coincides with Kobe's.

So the result is the same as Kobe, he has the same or even more stable three-point shooting ability than last season!

Durant continued to show his "blurring" ability, and the offensive layup after dribbling caused Tang Tian's defensive foul.

Made both free throws.

He scored the 11th point in a single quarter!

The Spurs' offense, Tang Tian continued to run, and after the Thunder's defense was restrained by him, Split had a chance at the basket.

However, Ibaka's defense was in place and he directly nailed the block.

After Duncan made a prediction, he jumped up and grabbed the offensive rebound, and directly threw it to Tang Tian on the outside.

Tang Tian caught the ball and saw that Durant was coming to cover the defense. He made a pass to force him back, and then shot again.

"Shh!"

The basketball goes through the heart and into the net!

Consecutive three points!

The third three-pointer in the individual quarter!

Tang Tian unknowingly scored 9 points!

"Beautiful cooperation!" Barkley said excitedly in the commentary booth.

He and O'Neal bet on the dunk in the pink skirt. This season, he is a hardcore Spurs fan!

"Tang's playing is really smart." Smith echoed from the side.

The combination of sudden shots is an important step for a scorer to mature.

If you can do these two things well, you will definitely have a place in the league. Players like Jamal Crawford and Nick Young are all players of this type, and the top players are like "offensive kaleidoscope" Anthony.

But in fact, the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of players will be obvious, because they can't pass the ball, when the opponent starts to double-team, the offensive efficiency will obviously drop.

Therefore, real superstars are all combined with sudden shots and passes, such as Jordan, Kobe, and James.

Because of the needs of the Spurs system, Tang Tian gave priority to passing the ball.

It's like a skill tree. Instead of developing in the direction of Crawford, he first walked in the direction of Danny Green in his previous life.

Because of the threat of the pass, the opponent dare not make up defenses at will, that is, this non-arbitrary, so that he has more room to shoot.

And he has proved last season that as long as he is given space, he can score!

Passing is not the goal, scoring is the meaning!

Durant missed the shot in the frontcourt. Looking back at Durant's defense, Tang Tian hit the ground and then gave it to Green. Green made another open three-pointer.

This time, the Thunder did not dare to go up.

Tang Tian played the entire first quarter. He felt hot on the three-pointer. He scored 7 points on 5 of 15 shots and sent out 3 assists!

Brooks looked a little helpless on the sidelines.

Tang Tian could run, but Sefolosha alone couldn't lock him down.

In this case, the Thunder went up to help defend, and Tang Tian passed.

And this is not a pass in the general sense, it is the kind of deadly pass that catches your defensive loopholes and has a high probability of being converted into an assist!

But you don't go up, Tang Tian's ability to seize opportunities from the outside is too strong, and you doubt your life if you shoot 5 three-pointers in a single quarter.

And the strength of the rest of the Spurs is not weak at all. If you really focus on defense, Duncan and Parker are not vegetarians.

Certain skills, certain teams, certain players.

Tang Tian of the Spurs, a role player, became a problem that the Thunder couldn't solve on the defensive end tonight.

Chapter 331 Ten consecutive victories (4/10)

60:45.

Although Durant scored 26 points in the half, the Spurs shot 70% from the field, leading the Thunder by as much as 15 points.

With Tang Tian passing the ball, this Spurs team felt like the Spurs team from the 13-14 season in his previous life.

In the second half, Brooks made a starting adjustment. He put Kevin Martin, who had just been traded from the Rockets, into the starting lineup.

Martin's defense is poor, but the offensive firepower is enough, and he is very good at drawing fouls.

Tang Tian's two defensive blocking opportunities were blocked by Martin and made a foul.

Tang Tian was forced to rest within a few minutes of playing.

Sitting on the bench, watching the court, but other things are on his mind.

Tony Allen's defense is already considered top-notch among NBA perimeter players, but due to his limited height, there is still room for improvement.

He is now infinitely close to Allen in ability, but he is taller than Allen, which makes his upper limit on the defensive end higher than Allen.

The most obvious difference is the ability to block shots. He blocked twice as many shots as Allen last season.

But players like Martin can make him foul, which limits his development.

By the way, there is also Harden who exploded in his first show this season. If he remembers correctly, Pengci Deng should appear this season.

Even if Martin is like this, it will be more difficult to meet Harden's defense.

Three-pointers plus passing, his offense relies on these two, and he is already fully exploited in the Spurs' system.

A breakthrough in exchange is not so imminent, but he needs to find an opportunity to strengthen the block.

If he can get the best defensive player, it will still be of great help to his new contract.

112:103.

Durant scored 45 points and 10 rebounds in the audience, and the virtual handsome is simply invincible.

But after Harden left the team, the strength of the Thunder's bench became significantly weaker, and the team's scoring basically concentrated on Durant and Westbrook.

Coupled with the fact that the Spurs shot more than 60% from the field, the Thunder eventually lost.

Although Tang Tian didn't play much in the third quarter, after consciously controlling the fourth quarter, he played the entire quarter, which helped the team a lot.

He finally scored 25 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals, the highest scoring team.

This is the current Spurs, with a team style of play and GDP constraints, Tang Tian doesn't need to be very versatile, but he can still get very versatile data.

At the end of the game, the two sides shook hands.

Durant didn't shake hands with Tang Tian. It could be seen that after the match, he felt more resentment towards Tang Tian.

Why should he be a father and a mother at the same time, but in the end, Tang Tian led his team to victory with 25 points easily.

Could it be because Tang Tian's teammates are stronger?

"Jeremy, be patient."

After shaking hands with Lamb, Tang Tian encouraged him.

Lamb nodded, this summer was very chaotic for him, but Tang Tian's words reassured him.

Winning the home opener is a very good start for the Spurs, who are aiming to defend their title.

And this is really just the beginning.

Back-to-back against the Jazz on November 11, facing the rebuilding Salt Lake City, the Spurs did not give too many opportunities, and finally won 2 to 93.

Tang Tian scored another 20 points and 4 assists.

On November 11th, against the Pelicans, 4 to 99, the No. 85 pick Davis scored 25 points and 11 rebounds for the first time in his career, but on this day, he was invited to join the league's empty cut group.

Tang Tian continued to play brilliantly, contributing 22 points, 5 assists and 3 steals.
