And with that momentum, they beat the Hawks again in back-to-back games to improve their road record to 3-1.

Tang Tian scored another 31 points in this game, scoring 30+ points for the third game in a row!

After a period of scoring drop, the scoring master at the beginning of the season is back!

The final game of the five-game game was against the Celtics.

The Celtics Big Three disintegrated in the summer, and the core roster is Rondo with a group of young players.

The Pelicans were supposed to win this game, but they lost in the end after back-to-back physical exertion and the ups and downs of young players.

However, Tang Tian's performance was still stable, scoring a team-high 32 points, 3 assists and 2 blocks on 13-of-25 shooting.

The three-two, three-two, five-game streak is perfectly acceptable for the team, and they continue to cement their eighth spot in the West.

After a five-game road streak in the East, their next game is against the Spurs, but with a three-day break in between.

Williams gave the players a day off.

Taking advantage of this day of vacation, Tang Tian took Olsen to the streets for a whole day.

In addition to spending time together, it was also important to return to San Antonio with some gifts for his former teammates.

When he had a birthday, everyone in the team gave him gifts, and he had to put his heart and soul into preparing something different for everyone.

Time flew by, and two days later, the day before the game against the Spurs, the Pelicans boarded a plane to San Antonio.

The team members on the plane talked and laughed.

Although Gordon became a substitute, his playing time did not decrease, and his stats and efficiency came up.

He is now quite convinced by Williams, and he also recognizes Tang Tian's status in the team.

Needless to say, Anderson is a good man, he will obey whatever the coaching staff asks him to do, and he is not bad off the bench.

Davis also talked and laughed with Artest at this time.

Although the number of shots he made did not increase much compared with last season, Tang Tian pulled out more and grabbed more rebounds.

The average data per game on the scene is close to 15+15+3, and the mood is also beautiful.

And under the guidance of Artest, his playing style is also much tougher than last season.

Tang Tian sat at the back of the plane at this time, chatting with Holiday occasionally, and spent more time looking out the window and thinking.

Now he has sudden throws and passes, and in addition to strengthening the dribble, he is already relatively comprehensive.

But his hit rate is actually not too high.

After so many games, he also understands why the shooting percentage of the four quarterbacks is not high.

In addition to the defensive pressure suffered, there is also a very important issue of fitness.

Every time you score, you have to spend a lot of energy, and the game is fierce, and it's really torture to play a game.

So a lot of times, those superstars are paddling in the first three energy-saving strokes, and then charging up in the fourth quarter;

If they can't paddle in the water, they will also choose to score with less physical exertion in the first three quarters.

Tang Tian has a mask man, and when he played with the Spurs, he was almost full of physical strength, but he still couldn't stand the Pelicans' core play.

After thinking about it, he has basically made a decision.

In the first three quarters, he had to choose a dry pull with relatively little physical exertion to finish, and then use explosives to break through in the fourth quarter.

In this way, the distribution of stamina will be the most reasonable, and his scoring efficiency will be higher.

"Don, this is the first time you've faced your old master in your career, right?"

At this time, Mo Luo, who was sitting on Tang Tian's left side, opened his mouth and asked.

Tang Tian turned his head, then nodded.

I used to be a coach and played a lot of old games, but being a player was really the first time.

"You have to be mentally prepared that whatever you've done there, they're probably going to boo you."

Morrow went on to say that he had been through five teams in his nine-year career, and he was a relatively wandering player, and he had experienced this kind of thing a lot.

Tang Tian smiled.

Moreau was giving him a vaccination.

But he's also curious to see how fans will react when he returns to his hometown for the first time after winning two championships for the Spurs.

The plane landed at San Antonio International Airport and everything was familiar.

It's as if he's still living here.

On match day, both teams had their daily training sessions scheduled in the morning.

After the training, Tang Tian asked rookie Jeff Vichy to carry his things, and then went to the home team's locker room.

After the game, no matter who wins or loses, you will feel a little uncomfortable, and it is most appropriate to give gifts before the game.

The security guard at the door greeted him with a smile when he saw him, as if he was still a member of the Spurs.

The door to the locker room was closed, but Ginobili could be heard chatting inside.

He reached out and knocked on the door.

"The coach is here!"

It's still Ginobili's familiar reminder voice.

The door opened, and a thin-haired head burst into view.

"Manu."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

When Ginobili saw that it was Tang Tian, he laughed and immediately pulled him in.

"Look who's coming!"

Tang Tian entered, and the Spurs locker room was suddenly filled with whistles and coaxing.

The Spurs have made very few personnel changes this season compared to last season, with the basic championship players still in the team, and only a handful of Belinelli personnel have been added.

So, it's really a meeting of all old teammates.

"Don, you guy, I have to tie you up to a nightclub tonight!" Dio said with a laugh.

"Don, I'm already your fan now." Green smiled and hugged Tang Tian.

"It would be nice if we were teammates." Joseph had some regret in his words.

Others also hugged and talked to Tang Tian one after another.

Leonard hugged Tang Tian and didn't say anything, but his eyes when he looked at Tang Tian remained the same as before.

Tang Tian finally hugged Duncan.

Again, there are no words, some are just familiar touches.

Tang Tian didn't resist, this was probably the first time in a long time that he felt comfortable being touched on the head.

"Guys, I brought you gifts."

After saying hello, Tang Tian motioned to Vichy behind him to put down the things, a whole big bag.

"Danny, it's yours."

Tang Tian began to rummage through the contents inside, and the first one to pick it up was Green's.

An egg in a transparent box.

The other teammates looked puzzled, but Green's eyes lit up.

"This is a python egg?"

Green confirmed to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian nodded.

"I think that guy in your family might need a companion."

He continued.

"Thank you, Don."

Green was really happy.

Because raising pythons is very unusual in the NBA, he usually doesn't talk about it to his teammates.

But Tang Tian still noticed it, it was really incredible.

"Tim, it's yours."

Tang Tian then turned out a palm-sized car model.

Duncan's expression is generally unwavering, but when he sees the car model, his eyes rarely shine.
