Chapter 168: A Bad News and a Good News (1/5)

"Oh! Oh, God! ”

Some fans have reached out and can't bear to look at it, and they don't know what words to use to describe their emotions.

This three-point shot is really grumpy!

You must know that this is 20 years, and the three-point shooting is far less than later, and the shooting rate is generally low!

Even the shooting rate of super shooters such as Ray Allen and Reggie Miller is only about 40%!

Although it is an empty three-pointer, but the shot is accurate, Novak's shooting speed is very slow, and the shooting rate of fast shooting is relatively limited, like Tang Tian, who is so accurate and stable, and the shot is not slow, it is really the first.

Of course, there is another point, Tang Tian's movement speed in the No. 3 position is also a little fast, whether it is Butler in the main defense or Griffin in the supplementary defense, they are a little unable to keep up.

In the third position, Paul realized something, went to the front court and motioned for Butler to receive the ball with his back, and then put the ball in.

Jefferson is sitting off the court, Tang Tian is now playing in the No. 3 position, and his height and weight will suffer a lot in this position.

Although Butler has suffered a serious knee injury at the age of 3, he still has strength as a member of the former "Wizards Trident", and his weight and experience are still very advantageous in this position.

Butler chiseled hard with his back against Tang Tian, and his strength was indeed much stronger than Tang Tian after weight loss.

Tang Tian sank his heart to the top, this old senior, who also graduated from Kang University, did not leave any spare strength when he fought.

Butler turned and leaned back after hitting the low post, and he was still afraid of Duncan's intimidation under the basket.

This hit Tang Tianxia's arms, and the cover he threw out interfered with.

"Bang!"

Butler's leaning was disrupted and deflected, and the rebound was grabbed by Duncan.

His singles, failed!

The Spurs' frontcourt attacked, and Tang Tian was stared at by Paul at this time.

However, after Paul went to talk to Tang Tian, Parker could only be defended by Billups.

Billups still has gas in the tank on the offensive end, but he doesn't have enough energy on defense.

Parker's quick breakaway throw made it and the Spurs stretched the margin to 24 points again.

On the offense of the Clippers, Butler continued to play Tang Tian in the frontcourt, and this time he chose to turn around and play to the basket.

Tang Tian grabbed the position under the basket and reached out to interfere, but his turn and layup were still out.

Butler failed to score twice in a row, and it was only then that everyone began to react.

Tang Tian not only shoots the three-point shot very accurately, but this defense also seems to be a little ruthless, and he also defends from the No. 3 position to the No. 3 position, this is a real and superb 3D player!

The Clippers struggled to chase the points, but the Spurs held steady and held the advantage firmly.

At halftime, the Spurs led 64-43.

"Don's three three-pointers changed the situation in the first half of both teams." At halftime, the commentators on the sidelines couldn't help but sigh.

If it weren't for those nine points, the Clippers would not be two points behind, but only two.

These are two completely different concepts, and it is really not too much to say that it is not too much to change the situation at half-time.

Coming back in the second half, the Clippers were chasing points like crazy.

The Spurs had ups and downs due to the lack of Ginobili's offense, but because the advantage in the first half was too great, they finally won the Clippers to 06 and get their first win in the season opener.

On the Clippers' side, Griffin scored 30 points and 3 assists, and Paul hit a big double-double with 20 points and 0 assists.

On the Spurs' side, Parker had a team-high 24 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, Duncan also had 20 points, and Green and Blair each had 9 points.

On the bench, Tang Tian played 26 minutes, shooting 5 of 0, including 4 of 7 three-pointers, with 4 points, 3 boards, 2 assists and 2 steals.

After the game, Popovich took Duncan and Parker to the post-game press conference.

Before Tang Tian went to take a bath, he was caught by the memory who was waiting at the door of the locker room early.

"You've set a new career high, how do you feel now?"

"How did you make three three-pointers in a row?"

……

"It feels good."

"It feels good."

Tang Tian was now worried about Ginobili's injury, and his answer was relatively casual.

When he had finished answering, he went in and took a quick shower, and then went with Green to visit Ginobili in the hospital.

The interview in the locker room here ended quickly, but Popovich's side was more lengthy.

There are things about Ginobili's injuries, about winning, about the players' play, and about Tang Tian.

"Coach, Don played 30 minutes in this game, which is a lot of time for a rookie, and he only played five minutes less than Tony Parker." The reporter spoke.

"What the hell are you asking, are you trying to say that I gave him too long playing time?" Popovich looked at the reporter.

The reporter nodded.

"Damn, can't you see him perform? If I hadn't been old enough to have a bad brain, I'd have let him fight for that long. Popovich cursed.

The reporter didn't dare to speak, maybe it was because of Ginobili's injury, and the old man was in a better mood tonight, which was not too good.

The atmosphere at the press conference was a little cold all of a sudden.

"Yes, I'm getting old, I should have given him a little more playing time."

However, Popovich's next words made the reporters at the press conference laugh again.

This kind of American dry humor is the old man's consistent style.

The NBA is a very professional league, and for example, the Spurs have an agreement with the team in the hotel they are staying in, and they have to use up more than 40 rooms at a time, and they will also have a hospital with an agreement on the road.

Ginobili was sent to a designated hospital for an MRI.

When Tang Tian and Green passed, Ginobili's examination had been completed and he was resting on the hospital bed.

"Why did you get here so early?" Ginobili was a little surprised to see the two, less than half an hour before the end of the game.

"If Don hadn't been pestered by reporters for a while, we could have come earlier." Green walked over with a smile.

"How does it feel?" He asked, as he walked over.

Because the MRI report will not be available until 24 hours later, the specific results are not known to Ginobili himself.

"Bad news." Ginobili shook his head, a veteran like him still knows how much about injuries.

"I had a brief exchange with Schmidt, and it was probably a fracture." Ginobili said with a smile on his face.

Left wrist fractures, although there are also mild and eye-wrenched, but when it comes to the word fracture, it is necessary to rest for at least one to two months.

And it was his shooter who was injured, which could even be the worst injury of Ginobili's career.

"But there's good news." Ginobili looked up at Tang Tian at this time.

"You're going to get more minutes, Don, play well, but don't wait for me to come back and the team will be a mess."

He said with a doting look in his eyes.
