After Green left, Tang Tian then went to the away team's training hall to practice.

After two preseason games, although he played well, it was more because the opponent was unfamiliar with him.

In the last game against the Pistons, for example, after the opponent focused on his open three-point defense, his scoring looked a little lackluster.

He's going to have to hurry up and improve his catch-and-shoot attributes.

This is also what he has been doing, taking the most intuitive attribute, his "catch-and-shoot three-point" has been practiced from the previous 50 to about 57.

If he increases to 60, he will basically be able to use it in the game if he counts the bonus to 66.

When he arrived at the training hall, with the help of Prokopio, Tang Tian began to systematically practice, first physical fitness, then open three-point, then three-point catch, and finally dynamic vision training.

This is already a systematic set of training content.

When he began to practice catch-and-shoot three-point drills, the door of the training gym was suddenly pushed open, and two uninvited guests entered.

Leonard and Ingleard.

Ingeld is the team's shooting assistant coach, and the Spurs traded Leonard from the Pacers with George Hill, and now they have Ingeld privately giving him a small stove, which is quite important to him.

The two sides said hello and practiced their own work.

Leonard's personality is cold, and he doesn't have the idea of getting people to get closer.

In the training session the next day, Popovich announced the team's activation list, and Tang Tian entered the list.

And it can be seen from the full-court training match that his appearance order is ahead of Joseph, Neil and others, almost the eighth and ninth positions.

His performances in training camp and pre-season have finally paid off.

That night, the Spurs-Clippers game kicked off at the Staples Center.

It's the Spurs' season opener, but it's not the Clippers'.

The Clippers have already played the Nuggets on Christmas Day and got off to a flying start with a 125-105 victory.

The Nuggets were fifth in the West last season and the Clippers were third from bottom in the West, and this game also speaks volumes about the changes in the Clippers.

This past offseason, they traded Chris Paul, the core of the team, from the league-managed Hornets, plus Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, who were selected and nurtured by themselves, and the strength has improved significantly.

Paul's assists are top-notch in the league, and Griffin and Jordan Jr. are so physical that they are also known as the "empty city" by fans.

The city's Lakers are in serious trouble after last season's playoff slump, and they have big ambitions to replace them as the masters of Los Angeles.

Winning the Nuggets without Anthony is just a sacrifice flag, and winning the Spurs, where the "GDP" is all there, is their real battle for the right name.

The Staples Center was packed with attendance.

The ball market in Los Angeles is second only to New York in the league, and the Clippers have formed a big three lineup, and fans are naturally willing to buy it.

In terms of the atmosphere alone, they are no longer inferior to the Lakers in the same city.

After a brief pre-game warm-up, the scene quickly entered the opening ceremony, and the Spurs playing away were quickly introduced.

Popovich used the same starting lineup he used to play against the Thunder in the preseason, with Parker and Green on the outside, Jefferson and Duncan on the front, and Blair at center.

After the Spurs starting line-up was introduced, the home team followed.

The live lights were dimmed, accompanied by passionate background music, 3D lights began to flicker on the court, and brilliant opening clips were projected onto the floor, and the opening ceremony of the Clippers' new season was magnificent.

Clippers coach Vinnie De Nagro has a two-point guard lineup.

Chris Paul and veteran Chauncey Billups on the outside, Caron Butler and Griffin on the front, Jordan Jr. at center.

After the opening ceremony, Paul gathered his teammates together and beckoned them to raise their hands together above their heads and encourage them loudly.

He came to the Clippers from the Hornets and from New Orleans to Los Angeles, clearly wanting to make a difference.

"Nervous?" The game started immediately, and Green turned his head to Tang Tian and asked.

Although Tang Tian's two preseason performances were very good, there is still a big difference between the regular season and the preseason.

The biggest difference is the opponent and intensity, if Tang Tian enters the rotation, he will mainly play against Reggie Jackson and Singler's rookies in the same class.

"Danny, he's not nervous, he's played in a 70,000-person stadium, two games." Ginobili came over again at this time.

Green and Tang Tian couldn't help but laugh when they said this, but there was really no nervousness on Tang Tian's face.

He's not like other newcomers, whether it's competition or competition, he's enjoying the process.

A long whistle sounded from the sidelines, and the starters from both sides came on one after another.

Tang Tian was sitting in the fourth position on the left of the vacant seat at this time, to the left of Ginobili, Split and Leonard.

To his right are Bonner, Gary Neal and Joseph, which is basically the rotation of the team.

Duncan and Jordan Jr.'s jump ball, Jordan Jr. jumped high and pulled the ball back to the Clippers' half, drawing a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

Compared with the old Duncan on the opposite side, or even the Spurs, the upstart of the Clippers can be said to be infinitely energetic.

After Paul has the ball in the front court, the ball is given to Griffin inside.

Griffin finished his rookie season with 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.8 assists on over 50% shooting.

Although Paul is more famous and powerful, when he first arrived, the team's offense started with Griffin.

Griffin turned around with his back to Duncan to catch the ball, his eyes full of murder.

In the last game, he fattened the Nuggets' interior core Nen, and he was not ready to show mercy to Duncan Sr. at this time.

The NBA is very cruel, even if you are a supergiant in history, if you continue to stay on the court when you are old, you will inevitably be ravaged by rising stars.

Dribbling the ball in one step, leaning on Duncan and then turning to the basket to kill, Griffin's style of play is quite direct, wide open and close.

However, he overestimated his arm span a little and underestimated Duncan's experience, and his shot after turning around was directly grabbed by the "Stone Buddha" and slapped him back.

The scene was in an uproar.

"Stone Buddha" This is a treasure knife that is not old!

The ball was caught by Green, who threw it to Parker.

Parker turned to meet Paul's fast break, and a spinning top layup in the frontcourt caused a foul on Paul's beater.

Paul took off his braces and jumped up, signaling that he had not committed a foul, and the referee did not change the decision.

There was boos at the scene.

Tang Tian frowned slightly at this time.

After the improvement of dynamic vision, his ability to capture details on the field has also improved, and the small movements of Paul's hitter just now are obvious, and it seems that he has to be on guard after he comes on the field.
