Frank reached out and called a timeout.

When Tang got off the court, he was warmly cheered by his Spurs teammates, and Duncan came over and touched his head for the first time to express his affirmation.

13 points and 3 steals in a single quarter! And the first quarter is not over yet!

Tang Tian, the No. 31 show, overshadowed the No. 33 show Singel in the first quarter, overshadowed the No. 15 show Leonard, and even overshadowed the opposite show Monroe!

True Godfather!

True Don is not a low-key Spurs rookie, day!

Popovich was obviously also very satisfied with Tang Tian's performance, at this time, the two teams entered the rotation one after another, and he also kept Tang Tian on the court.

Tang Tian had eye-catching play on both offensive and defensive ends, the Pistons focused on him on the defensive end, and avoided him as much as possible on the offensive end, and he didn't get another chance in this quarter.

However, there were five people on both sides, and the Pistons focused on Tang Tian, and the defensive pressure on other points naturally became smaller.

Leonard and Split have both got opportunities one after another, and the Spurs have gradually widened the difference.

At halftime, the Spurs unexpectedly led the Pistons by 10 points, 43-33.

This is a direct beating of the opponent's 1 team with 2 teams!

In the second half, the Pistons were forced to adjust their defense, and Tang Tian got opportunities to make two three-pointers one after another.

In the end, the Spurs withstood the Pistons' comeback and won 90-85 at home, making it two straight preseason wins.

Tang Tian scored 13 points in the first quarter, and although he was targeted by the Pistons later, he still contributed 21 points, 2 rebounds, 5 steals and 1 block with a stable output, and was the highest scoring player on the Spurs team.

And 7 of 11 shots, 5 of 7 three-point shots, plus or minus +15 The highest in the game, the efficiency is scary.

At the final whistle, Ginobili hooked shoulders and squeezed back, Parker gave him a thumbs up, and Duncan touched his head again.

"GDP" expresses their appreciation for Tang Tian in their own ways.

Popovich and Budenholzer were chatting about something, and it was clear that Tang Tian's two consecutive preseason performances had impressed the coaching staff.

Although he is only a second-round pick, he already has a place in the Spurs' rotation for the new season.

The preseason ended, and the teams also completed the final cuts, and the Spurs cut Diop, who had rarely played before, and narrowed the squad to 15 players.

The regular season is also approaching.

Because of the shutdown, the opening time of the regular season this time is also very special, which coincides with Christmas in the United States.

This was clearly intentional by the Alliance, and it directly turned the opening game into a Christmas war.

For example, last season's defending champion Mavericks hosted the Heat, the Thunder played against the Clippers, and the Lakers and Celtics played the "yellow-green battle" again, all of which are full of highlights.

However, the Spurs did not play on the opening day, Popovich had a day off early, and the players went back to celebrate Christmas with their families.

This is already the second Christmas after Tang Tian crossed, and like last time, he is also ready to spend it alone.

However, it was a little different from the previous Christmas in that he had to prepare some gifts, and when he came back from Christmas, it was more common for his teammates to exchange gifts.

Before he could think of a gift, Olsen called him first.

"I'm in San Antonio."

The first sentence Olsen said made him a little confused, this Christmas is not with his family, and he came to him?

But Olsen was already here, and he couldn't have left her alone and drove straight to the airport to pick her up.

Olsen wears a khaki kaftan with curly hair, and although he wears sunglasses, he is instantly recognizable.

"Why did you run to San Antonio? Isn't it Christmas today? Tang Tian picked her up in the car and couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Your new car?" Olsen deliberately digressed the subject.

Tang Tian nodded.

"It's a good car."

“……”

Tang Tian heard that Olsen didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask again.

"Let's go buy some ingredients and celebrate your first Christmas after college." Olsen asked.

Tang Tian nodded.

Turkey, polenta, dried fruit, pudding...... These are some of the must-have foods for Christmas.

But in addition to these, they also bought fresh cream, eggs, biscuits and some mangoes.

If Olsen comes, the cake will definitely be indispensable.

Back in the apartment, Olsen took off his coat, put on a white vest, and began to make a cake.

Tang Tian didn't have professional baking equipment where he lived, but Olsen didn't need the cake he made this time.

Mango mousse, also known as the "French Lover", is the biggest difference between it and other cakes in that it does not need to be baked, but can be frozen.

Break the digestive biscuits, mash the mango into a puree, heat it, add gelatin powder, beat the cream, mix it together, and then hold the cake mold in your hand, shake your body and gently shake the big bubbles off.

This is the first time Tang Tian has seen Olsen make cakes, compared with those girls who are usually in a hurry to fry a steak, Olsen's expression is extremely focused when making cakes, giving people a sense of beauty that has never been seen before.

"What are you looking at?" When Olsen turned his head, he saw Tang Tian looking at her and asked.

"It's nothing, this cake is so big."

"What?"

"No, this cake is so white."

"What do you want to say?"

"Nothing, I don't know what I'm trying to say." Tang Tian stared at Olsen as he was discovered, a little embarrassed.

Alton glanced at him and shook his head with a smile.

The cake liquid is ready, put it in the refrigerator and freeze it for two hours, and you can wait to eat.

During this time, they warmed up the turkey and polenta they had bought, and then began to put the kokang and pudding on the table.

They even bought small Christmas trees and Santa's puppets.

Although there were only two people, after all this was prepared, the Christmas atmosphere was not bad at all.

After these preparations were made, the cake over there was ready, and it was served to the table, and they were ready to eat.

"Celebrate your first Christmas after leaving college." Olsen poured some red wine and raised his glass to look at Tang Tian.

"Thank you." The two clinked glasses in the air and took a sip.

Tang Tian's thank you is sincere, in a foreign country, it is really rare to have a friend to spend Christmas with you.

"Try the cake." Olsen got up and cut a piece for Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took it and tasted it.

Unlike the previous cakes, the mousse cake is fresh.

The mouth is cool and melts in the mouth, and the mouth is full of sweetness, hence the nickname of the French lover.

Olsen looked at Tang Tian, obviously waiting for his evaluation.

"It's cold." Tang Tian's next words made her laugh.

Mousse cake is a frozen cake that is perfect for eating in the summer, but it is a bit cold in the winter.
