The invincible kryptonite of basketball

This shows that the ability of this body can still be saved.

It seems that I will have more drinks with Popovich in the future.

Olsen woke up, and leaned his body into Tang Tian's arms, with a look of happiness on his face.

Looking at Olsen who seemed like a normal person again, he recalled Olsen who begged for mercy last night.

Sure enough, all the fields in this world can't be plowed badly!

So angry!

No, plow again.

"what are you doing?"

"No."

"Mmmmm~"

……

Tang Tian came out of the shower and found that Olsen was finally paralyzed and unable to get up, so he nodded in satisfaction.

He took out his cell phone and called Budenholzer, saying he might be late for afternoon practice.

He hung up the phone and asked Fagan to book a flight back to San Antonio in the afternoon.

When Olson recovered, the two went out for lunch, and he headed back to San Antonio.

Tomorrow the team will go to Houston to play an away game against the Rockets.

Harden has been outstanding this season, and if he plays against him tomorrow, it will be a good opportunity for him to test his skills in the no-fly zone.

You know what he said before, but he was fouled by Martin consecutively.

Whether this skill can bring the imagined help, we will know tomorrow night.

In San Antonio, he went straight to the arena.

Although it was a little late, but in fact, it was not long before the training started.

And I said hello in advance, so there won't be any problems with the coaching staff.

When it comes to the full-court confrontation, the starting group and the substitute group play a 10-minute training match.

"Manu, watch out for my block."

Before playing, Tang Tian specifically said to Ginobili.

Ginobili didn't pay much attention to this kind of small talk in the team, and Tang Tian played with him a lot.

But when the fight started, he realized that Tang Tian wasn't talking to him today.

During the 10-minute training match, Tang Tian seized the opportunity to block 3 goals.

"What did you do last night?"

After the training match, Ginobili couldn't help complaining.

Fucked a woman last night.

Tang Tian replied in his heart.

"I warned you, be careful."

But he said with a smile on his mouth.

Harden's current playing style is very similar to that of the peak Ginobili, the only difference is that he is more capable of drawing fouls.

If the no-fly zone works on Ginobili, it will definitely work on Harden.

This makes him more confident for tomorrow night's game.

At the end of the training session, the players are all taking a shower.

Tang Tian was watching the Rockets' game video on the tablet, observing Harden's current style of play.

Budenholzer walked in at this time and called Tang Tian out of the door alone.

"Greg told me just now that you are late for training and will not start tomorrow night."

"I called you before."

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said, he was puzzled when he said it. This kind of thing happens occasionally in the team, and there is usually no such punishment.

"I know, I also told Greg, but this is the decision of the coaching staff, let me say hello to you in advance."

Budenholzer said with a somewhat helpless expression.

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

Budenholzer was just passing on the word. Although I don't know what Popovich's purpose is, it is indeed wrong for him to be late for training.

He chose to accept this decision.

The next day, the Spurs flew to Houston to prepare for the evening game against the Rockets.

The game has not yet started, and the fans on the hotline can't wait.

"Don Crazy vs. Ha Crazy, 'Battle of Crazy'! Definitely my most wanted match of the season!"

"And Harden definitely wants to beat the Spurs very much. You must know that he was very unwilling to lose the Western Conference Finals in the Thunder before."

"Yeah, he was only the sixth man in the Thunder, and he didn't play the key shots. Now that it's the Rockets, he can finally play with the Spurs with all his strength!"

……

Not only foreign fans, but also domestic fans chatted enthusiastically in the live broadcast rooms of major live broadcast platforms.

The Rockets were Yao Ming's team, the former home team, and the Spurs were Tang Tian's team, the current home team.

This is definitely a big collision for domestic fans.

There is still an hour before the start of the game, and the players of both sides are making final preparations for the game in the locker room.

"Danny, you're playing the No. [-] starting position tonight."

Popovich arranged tactics in the locker room and talked about the team's starting.

"Kawhi, you play the starting three."

After he finished speaking, he added another sentence, and took another look at Tang Tian by the way.

When he saw that Tang Tian's expression hadn't changed, he left the dressing room calmly.

It seems that it was right to let Budenholzer greet Tang Tian in advance yesterday.

After leaving the locker room, he couldn't help shaking his head. It's really not that easy to be the head coach of this league.

After Popovich left, the other team members were a little confused. Tang Tian didn't seem to have done anything, and he performed so well, why did he suddenly come on the bench?

"Don, what happened?" Green also took the initiative to ask.

"I'm late for training, have you forgotten?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

Green nodded suddenly.

The other team members also reacted one after another, especially Dior and Parker, who were late for training before, silently remembered it.

Half an hour before the start of the game, players from both sides came out of the player channel one after another.

The attendance rate of the Toyota Center is very low, only about [-]%, which is due to the premise of Harden's explosive performance.

When it comes to the ball market, the Rockets are worse than the Spurs.

However, in the live commentary booth, Barkley, Smith and O'Neal, the TNT Big Three, all came.

The small number of fans at the scene does not mean that the game has low attention, and the number of viewers on the hotline is still very large.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were announced.

For the Spurs, Parker and Green on the outside, Leonard and Duncan on the front, and Splitter on the center.

On the Rockets side, Jeremy Lin and Harden on the outside, Parsons and Patterson on the striker, and Asik at the center.

The Rockets have a regular lineup, but when the Spurs' starting lineup came out, there was a lot of discussion on the scene.

Because there was no news before the match, no one knew what was going on with Tang Tian tonight.

"Do you know what happened?" Barkley was also puzzled by the Spurs' starting lineup, and turned to Smith and asked.

Smith shook his head, apparently he hadn't heard anything either.

"Shaq?" Barkley then looked at O'Neal.

"My guess is that Don's performance is so good that the Spurs can't afford to renew him, so let him play as a substitute to lower his value."

O'Neill said solemnly.

After he finished speaking, Barkley and Smith burst into laughter.

O'Neill made this a joke, and now he is really getting closer to Barkley infinitely.

They couldn't figure out the reason in the commentary booth, and it seemed that they could only find out the reason after the game.

While they were talking, the starting players of both sides appeared one after another.

Harden was also very surprised that Tang Tian didn't start. He said that he had already made sufficient preparations before the game.

But if Tang Tian didn't start, it would be better for him. He could warm up his hands before that.

Asik jumped to win over Split, giving the Rockets a chance to take the lead.

Jeremy Lin held the ball for half court and then gave it to Harden.

Before the official start of the regular season, the Rockets signed Jeremy Lin with a poison contract in order to make him the core of the team's backcourt.

But with the windfall of Harden, Jeremy Lin can only be a role player now.

Harden signaled for tactical cooperation, and after a sudden point, he gave it to Parsons in the bottom corner, but Parsons' shot missed.

The Spurs cooperated with the hammer tactics in the frontcourt, and Parker's top layup avoided Asik's hit.

Looking back, Harden's sudden score went to the high position Patterson.

Patterson's mid-range jumper was slow, and Duncan interfered and didn't make it.

Split's rebound, the Spurs played a fast break, Parker gave Leonard who followed closely, and the latter made a layup.

Harden made a second pass with Asik's pick-and-roll in the frontcourt, but Asik's buttery hand missed.

The Spurs cooperated with the hammer tactics in the frontcourt, and Duncan also scored from the basket.

Three minutes into the game, the score was 3-6.

"Well, the current Spurs are a bit strong." Barkley sighed in the commentary booth.

The Spurs have 10 wins and 0 losses, and the Rockets have 3 wins and 7 losses. The strength gap between the two teams is still there.

"Now it depends on how Harden will respond." Kenny Smith continued.

Whether it is Jeremy Lin or Asik, they can only be regarded as very good players, and they are still far from the All-Stars.

But Harden's performance this season is at the All-Star level, and the Rockets can only rely on him to break the deadlock.

Sure enough, when Harden took the ball to the frontcourt again, he had already signaled his teammates to pull away, and then asked Asik to put on the pick-and-roll.

This is an obvious signal to attack yourself.

Asik played as a substitute for the Bulls, but that was because Noah was the starter. Although he was a bit buttery, his strength was not bad.

This pick-and-roll quality timing and range are very good.

However, Green has improved a lot this season and managed to get around the pick-and-roll before Asik.

Popovich nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines.

If Green can do what Tang Tian can do on the defensive end, then what Holt said is feasible.
