"Haha, don't worry, Don, we will definitely win this game, we must win this game!"

Whiteside was standing next to Tang Tian at this time, and when he saw his reaction, he laughed and said.

Tang Tian glanced up at Whiteside, and there seemed to be two big words written on his face: self-confidence.

Clearly, after a great performance, his self-confidence reached a career high.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

"We're going to win, we're not the same anymore."

Davis also came over at this time and said.

What he said meant something else, he knew the entanglement between Tang Tian and the Spurs.

It's not just that you have to win this time, it's that you have to win every time you play against the Spurs.

Tang Tian smiled.

It seems that they are not lacking in morale and self-confidence at all.

The game was about to start, and Williams laid out his tactics as usual before leading his players onto the pitch.

The ATT arena was full, the meeting of the two strong teams, and Tang Tian was there, so they naturally wouldn't miss it.

Tang Tian went over and greeted the Spurs players one by one.

Duncan touched Tang Tian's head again, and Ginobili also slapped his buttocks.

Tang Tian didn't hide, and relived the old days.

To say that it is the Spurs, it is the team with the least personnel changes in the league, otherwise he would have to meet this group of former teammates from one place to another.

The scene soon entered the opening ceremony, and the visitors were introduced first.

Although the relationship between the Spurs players and Tang Tian was still very good, when Tang Tian was the last to be introduced, the scene was still full of boos.

Tang Tian shook his head helplessly, it seemed that time had diluted his and Popovich's inner thoughts, and failed to dilute the San Antonio fans.

The Pelicans are the regular starting five on their side, as are the Spurs.

Parker and Green on the outside, Leonard and Pau Gasol on the outside, Duncan on the center.

Gasol and Davis' jump ball in the center circle.

Davis pulled the ball back to the halfcourt, and the Pelicans had the first offensive opportunity.

Holiday went to the front court and handed the ball to Tang Tian.

Green defended the main defense, and Leonard helped defend as soon as possible.

Popovich didn't mean anything polite.

Tang Tian gave the ball to Ariza, and the Spurs helped rotate at this time, and Duncan had already pounced.

Ariza didn't get a chance to shoot, he hoisted the ball to Whiteside, who had a chance to eat Leonard alone.

He was full of confidence, and he was going to be strong by turning around.

"Smack!"

However, as soon as he got up, he felt a light in his hand, and the ball had been cut off by Leonard.

He leaned over to grab it but couldn't get it back, and the ball was in the hands of the Spurs.

Fortunately, the Pelicans retreated quickly and didn't let the Spurs play fast.

The Spurs played a hammer play in the frontcourt, and Gasol went down after blocking and picking up Parker's pass to beat Whiteside for a time difference to score the ball.

Whiteside didn't cover it, and jumped to his feet in anger on the spot.

The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian continued to be trapped.

This time the ball transitioned into Davis's hands, and Davis turned to hit Duncan, a beautiful shot from the board.

However, Duncan is smart and always holds the ball high to interfere with his vision.

"Bang dang!"

The ball jumped out of the basket.

Davis reacted quickly and used his long arm to grab an offensive rebound before making a shot.

Gasol Jr. judged correctly at this time and interfered with the position under the basket in advance.

"Bang dang!"

The ball still didn't go in.

Duncan had fallen back to the basket by this time, reaching out to protect the defensive rebound.

Back on the defensive end, Whiteside was shaken off by Pau Gasol and scored on a layup by the latter.

4 to 0.

The Spurs gave the Pelicans a kick-off at the start.

The twin towers of Whiteside and Davis used to have the upper hand on the inside, but they didn't feel effective against the Spurs.

The Pelicans' offense, Ariza received the ball and didn't make a quick three-point shot.

The Pelicans opened the game with three unsuccessful offenses in a row.

In retrospect, Leonard's driving layup also caused Davis' beater foul.

The Spurs started the game 6-0 and had a chance to add free throws.

The scene burst into cheers.

The Pelicans have been strong this season, but they are still the younger brother in front of the Spurs.

What's more, Tang Tian's team can't win!

Tang Tian hurriedly called the players on the field together at this time.

'Slow down, don't rush, think about how we've won in the past, think about how we won last season.'

It's good to have a young team with a lot of confidence, but it's not necessarily too much.

The Pelicans wanted to win so much that they were in a hurry to open the game, and it felt like they were going to eat the Spurs in one bite at the beginning.

But that's clearly unrealistic, and the Spurs are the toughest in the league.

In particular, Popovich's team basketball has reached a peak this season, and with the addition of Pau Gasol, no team can beat them in one wave.

"Hassan, do you hear that?"

After Tang Tian finished speaking, he deliberately shouted to Whiteside.

Whiteside nodded, and Leonard cut the ball in the opening game, which made his brain heat up.

Tang Tian patted his head, and then motioned for everyone to go back.

Leonard hit a free throw to give the Spurs a 7-0 run.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The perfect start made the fans in high spirits, and they spontaneously began to shout and cheer.

Tang Tian just pulled the words of the team members to make them temporarily stabilize their emotions, but this shout made them restless again.

The Pelicans are still young after all.

Tang Tian arrived in the front court, and directly made tactical gestures before receiving the ball, allowing Ariza and Davis to sink to the bottom line.

When Holiday gave the ball over, he motioned for Holiday to go to the other corner.

This kind of placement made the Spurs' bag clamp unable to come up all of a sudden, and only Tang Tian and Green were left at the top of the arc.

Green stood half a step away from Tang Tian, he knew that Tang Tian could burst and throw, and this distance was the most suitable.

Tang Tian saw it and directly accelerated.

If it were last season, he would have had to dribble and try to get rid of it, or take the initiative to find a confrontation to squeeze through, but now it's different.

This step was extremely fast, and Green didn't keep up with the reaction, and was directly passed by Tang Tian.

Tang Tian didn't rush in again after passing Green, and pulled out his hand near the free throw line.

The pose is picturesque.

"Huh!"

Basketball goes through the net.

The Pelicans finally broke their scoring drought.

Westbrook's first move is very fast, and it is comparable to the presence of Maddie and Rose.

But his problem is that his shooting ability is too poor, and the zombie is ugly, not to mention iron, and can only rely on the strength of breaking through to the basket.

This is easy to be targeted by opponents.

But Tang Tian had Maddie to pull it out, and he just made up for this piece.

So as long as he feels good, the words that score is like probing for things are to describe him.

The pull also drew cheers from the Pelicans' bench.

At the critical moment, Tang Tian, the boss of the team, is reliable, he is the Pelicans' Dinghai Shenpin!
