The old man was a little upset on the sidelines, and yelled at Guy twice.

The old man's roar still worked, Potter was hard to catch the ball by being heavily guarded, and his weaknesses in not having much of an independent offensive ability were also exposed.

But after the defensive center of gravity shifted, Kuzma and Yi Jianlian got opportunities one after another, and the Nets also took advantage of this period of time to pull the difference apart.

It was also the period when the Nets finally won the game.

98-90, the Nets won their first win of December against the Spurs on the road.

Butler scored a team-high 20 points, Irving and Mitchell each scored 15 points, Anthony scored 10 points, bench Yi Jianlian had 13 points and seven boards, Kuzma had 11 points, and Porter had seven points and three boards on 3-of-4 shooting.

After the game, Tang Tian and the team doctor participated in Ding Yanyuhang's MRI.

The test result was negative, there was no major problem, and it took about a week of rest to recover.

Fortunately, it's not a big deal, but Ding Yanyuhang's mood is still a little low, he is already on the verge of rotation in the Nets, and Porter is doing well, so it is not unlikely that he will fall out of the rotation.

Tang Tian reached out and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, and said some encouraging words.

The brutality of NBA competition can only be known by being in the middle of it.

The Spurs win was a big boost to the overall morale of the Nets, and it prepared them for the next month without George.

After George's absence, Butler stepped up in time to fill his scoring gap, proving that he is still an All-Star caliber player.

Potter also seized the opportunity on the bench, and his steady firepower output allowed him to win the battle against Bamot and successfully squeeze into the rotation.

Time flies, and it comes to Christmas in a blink of an eye, Tang Tian only spent Christmas at home with his family, and flew to Philadelphia with the team in the evening.

The Nets will face the 76ers in Philadelphia for the first time of the season.

This game is also in the spotlight.

Philadelphia's popularity has skyrocketed since welcoming James this year, and they are also strong contenders for the title after the Nets in the East.

The media also heated up the topic before the game, James and Tang Tian are likely to meet again in this year's playoffs, and it is difficult to say who will have the last laugh this time.

The encounter in the regular season is undoubtedly a good warm-up.

Both teams also spared no effort to play their main role.

On the Nets' side, Irving and Mitchell on the outside, Butler and Anthony on the front, and Jokic at center.

On the 76ers' side, Simmons and Covington on the outside, James and Saric on the front, and Embiid on the center.

Embiid gave the 76ers the first offensive opportunity, and Simmons hit a jumper from James after hitting the frontcourt.

James said in the summer that he wanted to play more without the ball, and Simmons' presence is a good way to fulfill that wish.

Irving burst into Anthony's frontcourt, and Anthony slipped off Saric for a basket and scored.

Although time has passed, Little Melon is still strong when he meets James.

After the start of the game, both teams showed great tactical literacy, but without George, the Nets did not defend James very well, and the difference was slowly widened, and at halftime, they trailed the 76ers by 10 points, 46-56.

Tang Tian pulled Frank to talk about tactical adjustments in the middle of the field, and when he walked back to the office, he heard the mobile phone ringing inside.

In order to keep himself focused in the game, he didn't bring his mobile phone with him, and then he walked over to see that it was Swift calling, picked up the ringtone, and saw that there were 6 missed calls.

He hurriedly dialed back, and heard Swift's fiery voice.

Don Sugar has a fever and is now in a Manhattan hospital.

They have family doctors, and they don't usually send minor illnesses to the hospital, which means that the situation is more serious.

He comforted Swift, then asked the company to go to two people to help take care of it, hung up the phone and unconsciously clenched the phone.

"Don, you go back first, I can handle it here." Frank looked at Tang Tian's anxious appearance and said.

Tang Tian hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head.

It really doesn't matter if you win or lose a game, but now that the team is behind, the morale blow to him as a manager is fatal, and this is still a Christmas game, and the impact will be doubled.

And he's not a doctor, so it's the same thing to go back now and the result is the same after the game.

"Let's talk about the tactics for the second half." Tang Tian took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said to Frank.

Frank asked for a moment, then nodded at the end.

After James played without the ball, Simmons could impact uncontrollably, but he still didn't practice shooting, and this past offseason, he spent more time dating Kendall Jenner of the Kardashian family, and the projection improvement was very small.

This was ignored by the first meeting between the two sides and James' presence.

After discussing with Frank for ten minutes, he rearranged his tactical strategy for the second half after returning to the dressing room.

At the start of the second half, this adjustment quickly worked, and after Simmons was released, the Nets were equivalent to 5 defense and 4, and James was always packed with more options to divide the ball, but the ball was distributed to Simmons, and the offense stalled.

Even with the addition of James, the game seems to be back to last season's playoffs.

The Nets' morale was boosted, and they recovered the difference little by little.

On the sidelines, Tang Tian took out his mobile phone from time to time to watch.

He had explained to the company when he called before, and he had to report to him as soon as he had any further information.

The fact that the phone hasn't rang is good news, but it has also been worrying him.

I didn't feel anything before I had a child, but after becoming a parent, my child's life is more important than my own.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides entered a scorching duel, and Anthony hit a quasi-final shot at a critical moment to help the Nets win the game in a thrilling way.

On the 76ers' side, James had 28 points, 11 boards and 3 assists, Embiid had 21 points and 13 boards, and Simmons had 9 points, 6 boards and 6 assists.

On the Nets' side, Butler scored 20 points, Anthony 18 points, Jokic 16 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, Mitchell 12 points and 5 assists, bench Porter scored 15 points, and Yi Jianlian 12 points and 6 boards.

After the game, the Nets celebrated in the locker room, and the victory meant a lot to them.

However, after Tang Tian explained to Frank, he left the arena in a hurry.

After making a phone call to Swift and making sure that Tang Tang's condition was relatively stable, he got on an early flight back to Brooklyn.

On the plane, he was worried, looking out the window at the pitch black, and suddenly he felt that he might no longer be fit to be the head coach of a team.
