Tang Tian did not live in Olson's house, and when the NBA team played away from home, he paid great attention to the personal safety of the players.

Unless you report it to the team, you will be punished if you don't return home at night.

After eating the cake, Tang Tian went back to the hotel.

After the Spurs played the Knicks, they flew to Boston the next day to prepare for the game against the Celtics.

The frequent back-to-backs really made the veterans suffer.

And it's not just mental, veterans like Duncan and Parker are experiencing physical aches.

Although it didn't affect the game, Popovich still arranged for them to take a rotation.

Ginobili's injury made the old man have to be more vigilant.

Boston has the best basketball atmosphere in the league, and their home arena, North Shore Gardens, is one of the most atmospheric in the league.

The Celtics are also one of the league's oldest big teams.

It's not an easy game to play, and that's why Popovich will choose to rest the two cores in such a game.

The stadium attendance for the night's game exceeded 80%, and Popovich did not let out the news before the round.

Before the game, the fans frowned when they saw Duncan and Parker both in suits and leather shoes, and when the opening ceremony introduced the starters, they couldn't help but boo.

Rotational rest is not very fan-friendly.

However, Popovich didn't care at all and was completely on the sidelines.

At the end of the pre-game warm-up, Ray Allen came over to say hello to Tang Tian.

Although the Kangda senior didn't really help him in the draft, he still took him seriously.

When communicating, Tang Tian could still feel that Lei Allen's mood was not very good.

He hasn't been playing well this season due to injuries, and there is a faint tendency to be replaced by newcomer Avery Bradley in the low post.

The game started quickly, with both teams starting one after another.

On the Spurs' side, Parker and Duncan are out of action, Mills and Green on the outside, Jefferson and Bonner on the front, and Blair at center.

On the Celtics side, Rondo and Ray Allen are on the outside, Pierce and Garnett on the front, and O'Neal Jr. at center.

Garnett got the first chance for the Celtics, and when it came to the Celtics' tactical cooperation in the frontcourt, Ray Allen ran out of the tactics and missed the three-pointer after the catch.

His competitive form is really average.

Blair grabbed the defensive rebound and the Spurs pushed to the frontcourt.

With Duncan and Parker sidelined, the team played more hammer tactics, Green seized the corner opportunity to hit an open three-pointer, and the Spurs dominated the game and took the lead.

The Celtics attacked the frontcourt, and Garnett didn't make it in the middle of the ball.

It seems that in the season with a dense schedule, the form of the veterans has also fluctuated greatly.

The Spurs' offense is still a hammer tactic, with Mills breaking through to the basket to cause O'Neal Jr.'s hitter.

After hitting both free throws, the Spurs opened the game to a 5-0 run against the Celtics.

Celtics head coach Doc Rivers yelled angrily on the sidelines.

Duncan and Parker are both rested, the Spurs are still back-to-back, and the team has been beaten like this, which is a shame.

The Celtics' tactics ran out, and Rondo's throw didn't go in.

However, O'Neal Jr. used his arm span advantage at this time to press Blair to grab the offensive rebound.

The ball was then given to Rondo's organization, and Rondo handed the ball to Pierce and played directly into his personal ability.

Pierce's back, Jefferson sank his weight.

Pierce made a beautiful illusory turn and scored past him to the basket to finally break the scoring drought for the Celtics.

The Spurs' offense, Jefferson's breakaway, continued to add points to the Spurs.

But in retrospect, Pierce's outside swing shook off Jefferson, and the pull-out three-pointer was immediately colored.

After a brief scoring drought in the opening period, "The Truth" began to step up and lead the team.

The game played about 5 minutes, and the Celtics led 13-9, with Pierce scoring 8 points and 2 assists alone.

Popovich called Tang Tian up and put him on the court to replace Jefferson.

Tang Tian came on the court and Jefferson's customary high-five, but was directly ignored by Jefferson, who looked very unhappy.

When he walked up to Popovich, he couldn't help but complain a few words.

Last season, Ginobili and Jefferson were the team's No. 2 and No. 3 positions, and the two not only started but also occupied the main playing time.

Ginobili was injured early this season, and in theory he should have played more minutes.

But no, the time that originally belonged to Ginobili was divided between Green and Tang Tian.

On the road trip before, Green's condition was generally good.

But when he returned to his home court, Green's state picked up, Tang Tian's performance was strong, and his playing time was constantly compressed.

So far, the average is only about 20 minutes per game, which is more than half of last season's 30 minutes.

Now that Ginobili's comeback is imminent, it is no exaggeration to say that he is likely to become a pseudo-starter or be relegated to the bench.

He had just signed a big contract with the Spurs, which was definitely not what he wanted to see.

So he's been holding back his strength lately.

He was also in good shape in this game, and he had already scored 4 points after five minutes of play, but he didn't expect Popovich to replace him early.

This made his accumulated unhappiness finally explode, and although he didn't dare to attack too much, it was also the first time he complained to Popovich.

Popovich frowned visibly.

The average coach in the NBA doesn't have a lot of say in the team, but he is an exception.

His voice on the Spurs, like many NCAA head coaches, is basically the same.

Jefferson's performance made him feel uncomfortable.

The head coach didn't look at the problem like the players, with Jefferson scoring four points, but the opposing Pierce had eight points, not to mention two assists.

This shows that every offense of the Celtics is related to Pierce, and Jefferson has been completely exposed.

He has only now replaced Jefferson, and he has already considered his personal feelings.

Tang Tian came on the court and went all out to defend Pierce, although Pierce still scored, but the efficiency was obviously declining.

The Spurs gradually stabilized the situation on the court, and the point difference was not opened again.

Popovich nodded from the sidelines, although Tang Tian didn't score, but this is the situation he wants to see.

He then turned his head to look at the bench, where Jefferson was chatting with Neil and didn't pay attention to the court at all.

This guy is not in good shape this season, and his attitude is also very problematic, coupled with the previous complaints and current reactions, this is really a bit of a challenge to his bottom line.
