This is a two-point point.

Looking back, Tang Tian misplaced and successfully defended Gasol's wave of strong attacks.

One offense and one defense, he is not only motivating his teammates with words, but also demonstrating by example.

The Pelicans' offense is still the same tactical position.

This time, Tang Tian didn't choose to go directly to Green.

To win against the Spurs, it is not enough for him to score alone, the biggest problem is physical strength.

The first time the two teams met last season, he was tired and fell down, and it was only by scoring four consecutive three-pointers at the end that he won the game.

Like Maddie's 35.13 seconds, that miracle can only happen once at most.

So to really win against the Spurs, he has to mobilize his teammates as much as possible.

Last season, he had to play on his own, but this season it's clearly not.

He beckoned Davis to the high post to block the pick-and-roll.

The moment the pick-and-roll was formed, Gasol chose to trap him.

Tang Tian gave the ball to Davis in a high profile.

Davis catches the ball and goes to the basket.

Duncan didn't come out in the three-second zone, and Davis opted for a high toss.

"Bang dang!"

The ball was a little unlucky and bounced off the front of the basket.

Duncan defends defensive rebounds.

Davis flicked his hand in frustration, it was clear that he should have thrown this kind of ball in.

Especially when the team is just about to get on the rise.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Tang Tian saw Davis's reaction and shouted at him in the middle of his defense.

Davis nodded when he heard this, and most of his original frustration was gone, and he turned his energy to defense.

The Spurs' hammer tactics in the frontcourt, with Pau Gasol receiving the ball and then attacking the basket.

"No need to jump! Catarrh! ”

Tang Tian turned around and shouted at Whiteside at this time.

Whiteside played the Thunder and fought Adams in hand-to-hand combat, which is kind of accumulating some experience in this regard.

After hearing Tang Tian's shout, he stretched out his hand under the basket and stood up.

Gasol's confrontation is not his strong point, he is strong in technique, this time it didn't shake Whiteside, he chose to rely on the outside hook after the fight.

That's when Whiteside pounced for a block.

Gasol has a high hook shot, but Whiteside also has a long reach and, more importantly, he stands up in a defensive position and gives frontal interference.

"Bang dang!"

Gasol's hook is blocked!

However, Leonard flew to grab the offensive rebound at this time, and then shot to cause a defensive foul on Whiteside.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Tang Tian shouted at Whiteside in the same tone at this time.

Whiteside's defense has done a better job than before, and it is more that Ariza has no good guys on his side.

Ariza also reached out to Whiteside at this time to signal that it was his responsibility.

Leonard adjusts his breath and hits both free throws.

The Spurs lead 9-2.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and Tang Tian also continued to greet Davis to mention the high block.

This time Davis went out, and Tang Tian went inside.

The Spurs chose to go to Tang Tian.

After these few games, Vicky is already very clear that Tang Tian's finishing ability has improved significantly compared to last season.

It is better to give Tang Tian a chance than to give the rest of the Pelicans a chance.

Tang Tian saw the bag clip and threw the ball back to Davis.

Gasol quickly returned to defend and Davis struck first.

The ball crosses a parabola in the air.

"Huh!"

This time, Davis seized the opportunity and made a move.

Vicky reached out and touched the beard on his chin.

Davis has improved a lot over the past year, and he already has a relatively stable mid-range.

This makes it harder for the Spurs to defend the Pelicans than before.

Davis smiled and stretched out his hand to Tang Tian as he retreated.

In addition to strength, the biggest impact on shooting is mentality.

The few words Tang Tian said seemed insignificant, but they were like a reassuring pill for the young Davis.

The Spurs' offense, Leonard misplaced Holiday and turned to break through to the basket.

Holiday defends well but is a defender after all, and there is a gap in the confrontation.

Leonard makes a drift shot after hitting the basket.

At this time, Whiteside, who was on the inside, suddenly pounced and stretched out his long arms to come over.

Leonard was caught off guard and was too late to adjust the angle of his shot.

"Bang!"

Whiteside slapped Leonard's shot back with a big hat!

This is revenge for being fouled in the previous round.

In the scrum at the three-point line, Ariza saved the ball, he snatched Parker, and shook his hand to give the ball to Tang Tian.

The Pelicans defended the round.

Parker got up and looked at Ariza, his mind full of Tang Tian's figure when he was at the Spurs.

Now Tang Tian has become the core of the team, and the "Tang Tian" who belongs to him is also in the team.

The Pelicans attacked the frontcourt, and they were still in the same position.

Tang Tian was at the three-point line, and everyone else sank to the bottom line.

Tang Tian beckoned to Davis again.

In the blocking and dismantling of the high position, Tang Tian had a breakthrough action to change to the right this time, forcing Gasol and Green to wrap it up together.

He knocked the earth to Davis.

Davis took the ball and rushed to the basket, and this time he opted for a strong dunk.

Duncan pounced, and the two faced off in the air.

The referee blows the whistle for Duncan's foul.

Davis' dunk was blocked, but he threw the ball out after the confrontation.

The ball hits the board and bounces into the basket.

A 2+1!

Duncan was expressionless and shook his head.

Although his competitive form this season is much better than last season, he is already a little powerless in the face of a newcomer of Davis' level.

Everyone has to admit that they are old.

Davis shouted excitedly after seeing the goal, and then turned back to Tang Tian to high-five.

He scored this goal beautifully, but Tang Tian's hit the ground was also beautiful.

** Vicky was thoughtful at this time.

Yesterday I had a drink with Tang Tian, and he said that Tang Tian could take the MVP, which meant a lot.

There are expectations for former disciples, and there are regular milk as opponents.

But after looking at the performance in the past, he felt that Tang Tian really had the strength in this area.

MVP, Most Valuable Player, the so-called Most Valuable is not for the individual, but for the team.

The intuitive performance is good personal data and a high team record.

But when it comes to the details, it's about making your teammates and your team better.

Last season's Tang Tian performed very well, but ** Vicky actually didn't feel much.

Because Tang Tian is basically trying to score, this is the least efficient way to help the team.

But now, Tang Tian's personal offense has obviously come down.

He started looking for his teammates and waited until his teammates couldn't open before he stepped up and scored.

And even later, when he saw his teammates performing badly, he didn't blame but encouraged until he mobilized his teammates' state.

This is what Vicky understands as a most valuable player should do.

Davis wanted to add a free throw, and Tang Tian was standing on the side of the free throw line at this time.

He noticed that someone was looking at him behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that it was ** Vicky.

The two men looked at each other and smiled.

If he knew what ** Vicky was thinking at the moment, he didn't know how he would feel in his heart.
