This time, everyone misunderstood Tang Tian.

He replaced these substitutes at this time, not to pretend to be forced, but to give these people a chance to exercise.

Gasol has lost weight significantly in the past two months, and his body fat content has dropped to about 20%, although he still looks a little fat, but it is enough to support him to play.

For the Rockets to have a good record in the new season, Gasol's play is crucial, giving him a chance to play against a top interior player like Duncan, which can accelerate his growth.

It's the same with Petrus, who wants to take a place in the Rockets' rotation, not because of his higher salary than others, but because he shows how much he can improve this team, especially on the defensive end, and the game against Ginobili is a test opportunity.

As for Barria, Francis has injury concerns and will be the main substitute for Billups for most of the new season, and training is a must.

Timeout back, Spurs offense.

It's the same hammer tactic, but after the executors of the tactics are replaced by Ginobili and Duncan, you can feel that the whole tactic is smooth at once.

Finley was still being watched, but Duncan misplaced Gasol and a nice turn completely shook Gasol to score.

The Spurs finally broke the scoring drought.

Gasol shook his head helplessly, Duncan's body was too flexible.

"Mark, watch out for blocking Tim's shots." Tang Tian stood on the sidelines at this time to remind.

Seeing Tang Tian personally reminding himself, Gasol nodded vigorously, and then ran forward.

It's a huge encouragement for rookies and role players to be valued by a head coach.

Especially at the end of the first round or the second round.

The Rockets' offense, Barria carried the ball to the frontcourt and played with Millsap to block and pick-and-roll, and he was very fast, diving headlong into the Spurs' interior and scoring a layup before Marcinmi's block.

There was a cheer from the audience, and the little man who surprised everyone when he played against Iverson last season has improved very significantly this season.

The Spurs' offense, Ginobili and Duncan played blocking and dismantling, and the "demon knife" broke through to the back of the penalty area, and made an incredible pass in the bag to Duncan.

Duncan received the ball and shot in the open space, but Gasol on the inside stretched out his long arm at this time, successfully interfering with his shot.

"Bang!"

Duncan's mid-range shot bounced off the back edge.

However, he reacted quickly, squeezing Gasol past Gasol and rushing to the interior almost instantly after the shot, grabbing the frontcourt rebound and scoring a basket.

Duncan scored four straight points.

Gasol shook his arm vigorously, looking a little frustrated.

"Mark is so bulky, he really doesn't look like he can play in the NBA, he's like a stake in front of Tim." Miller bluntly said after watching two rounds that Tang Tian's substitution adjustment was really too much of a failure.

"Well done! Well done! Tang Tian applauded Gasol on the sidelines at this time.

When Gasol heard Tang Tian's words, his frustration swept away, and his eyes were full of war.

Tang Tian personally went to Europe to bring him to the NBA, and now he attaches so much importance to him, and even puts the rotation order in front of the veteran Mutombo, how can he be worthy of this trust!

The Rockets' offense, Barria held the ball and burst again, this time the Spurs contracted early, he didn't have a good chance to shoot, and threw the ball to Petrus on the outside in advance.

Petrus made a three-pointer from the outside, and the ball was a little harder and bounced out of the frame.

Duncan jammed Millsap and jumped to close the rebound.

Just then, a long arm flew over his head and snatched the rebound.

Pick melons on your head!

Mark Gasol!

In addition to their excellent skills, the Gasol brothers also have an outstanding talent in terms of reach!

Those long, straight arms, like spider legs!

Gasol grabbed the offensive rebound and then immediately took the shot.

Duncan reacted quickly and jumped up to block it, but he didn't get it because he took off late.

"Smack!"

The slap hit Gasol's elbow, and the referee blew the whistle.

Two free throws.

Gasol clenched his fists hard.

The fans cheered him on.

Grabbing a rebound on Duncan's head also resulted in a foul, and the rookie played hard enough to give them the feeling of seeing Millsap play last season.

Gasol steps to the free-throw line.

The first free throw was hit.

Gasol scored his first point in the NBA.

The second penalty is also hit.

The fundamentals of European players are very solid.

The Spurs' offense, Duncan played Battier in the low post and shot the board with ease.

However, Gasol, who was far away from the basket, rushed out like a hanger at this time, and after Duncan made a shot, he slapped his horse and threw himself into the air at the same time, and slammed it towards the ball.

"Smack!"

Fingertips covered the basketball, and Duncan's shot was covered.

Whistles rang out one after another at the scene, and in these two rounds, Gasol actually had an advantage in the confrontation with Duncan!

Miller was also stunned at this time, he didn't expect Gasol to suddenly explode.

At this time, he looked at Tang Tian, who had been standing on the sidelines, applauding and cheering for the players from time to time, and suddenly remembered that last season, Millsap seemed to play very ordinarily at the beginning, but then it suddenly broke out?

Tang Tian, is it really so magical?

The game on the field continued, with the Spurs sideline ball.

Duncan serves, and after serving he pulls straight to the far end.

With little time to attack, the Spurs opted for an individual single, with the other four points opening up space for Ginobili to attack.

Petrus followed Ginobili closely, and his defense was aggressive.

The referee didn't blow the whistle.

Ginobili played a tough game under the high confrontation, and with little time, he finally opted for a small throw that came to a stop.

But with Petrus's interference, the ball ended up being a three-no-stick.

The cheers at the scene exploded directly.

To say that the Rockets lost to the Spurs last season, the biggest problem is that they can't prevent it, Ginobili and Parker are like no one in the Rockets' interior line, whether it is Blake or Barria, or Maddie or Hyde, they are all a bit miserable.

But with the addition of Petrus, it seems that the problem has been solved in one fell swoop!

After all, it was the Golden State bandits, and if you don't accept it, you will be scared!

Tang Tian also applauded Petrus again on the sidelines at this time.

It doesn't matter if you can't shoot, after all, Petrus has just come to the Rockets, and he hasn't kept up with the training or anything, but this defense is what the Rockets lack the most, as long as this is brought into play, the Rockets' 4.5 million dollars this year are definitely worth it.

Miller was also thoughtful at this time, the three people from the Rockets' bench lineup all made their own contributions, although the Rockets were no longer as strong as they were at the beginning, but they played back and forth, and the score was deadlocked!
