When Popovich saw the Thunder start early, he also stood up and called Green and Parker, and replaced Tang Tian and Ginobili.

Thanks to Tang Tian's strong performance against Jackson, the Spurs held a stalemate in the first half, and the two sides tied at 45 after the half.

In the second half, Parker, who did not perform much in the first half, exploded. His continuous fast break layups and throws directly helped the Spurs establish a double-digit lead.

Although Durant made consecutive mid-range shots to help the home team catch up with points, the stable output of Duncan and Ginobili still allowed the Spurs to laugh to the end with a 95-90 win.

Durant scored a game-high 32 points, Westbrook also performed 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but Harden performed poorly and only scored 8 points and 5 assists.

On the Spurs side, Parker scored the team's highest 23 points and 7 assists, Duncan scored 16 points and 10 rebounds, Ginobili scored 15 points and 5 assists, and Blair scored 12 points and 6 rebounds.

Tang Tian also got another chance to play in the second half, got an opportunity outside the three-point line and scored another goal. He played for 10 minutes in the game, scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 4 steals, which was quite efficient.

The Spurs' locker room after the game was filled with laughter.

"I did a good job. If you play so well, the old man might let you play the starter." Ginobili said slutty with Tang Tian's shoulder.

"I'll invite the whole team to have pizza when it starts." Tang Tian also responded in a slutty voice.

At this moment, Tang Tian felt that someone was touching his head. When he turned around, he saw that it was Duncan, and he was looking at him with a kind face.

This guy didn't touch Parker enough during the game, so he ran over and touched him!

The winning streak was made, and the Spurs had a very good start in the suspension season.

With joy after the victory, the Spurs returned to San Antonio, and their second preseason opponent was the Pistons.

There is four days off in between, because the team is winning and the atmosphere is very harmonious when training.

Popovich also seized the time to let Tang Tian and the others adapt to the tactics. After the training that day, Budenholzer asked them to pull them into trouble in the office alone to make up for the tactics.

In the locker room, Parker, Duncan and Ginobili were in three rows of shower room.

Jefferson finished rushing in advance and suddenly spoke, "We haven't prepared gifts for the rookies this year, right?"

His speech immediately attracted a whistle from other teammates.

There is an unwritten rule in the NBA that rookies will be tricked by old players when they arrive at the team. The most famous one is Arenas, who soaked all the clothes and shoes of rookie Andre Brache in the bathtub, and later even pulled a lot of shit in his sneakers.

Of course that's just an extreme situation. Ordinary pranks are nothing more than ordering rookies to buy them donuts or burgers, or asking rookies to help the old team members carry their bags.

Although the Spurs have a good atmosphere, this kind of thing is inevitable. Parker brought a bag to Duncan and Ginobili.

This has become a custom, or even an experience in the NBA.

"Let them buy us donuts," Blair said, a food that all Americans love.

"Yes, a great offer, I want to eat the donuts that the Godfather bought for me." Ginobili just finished washing and spoke directly.

His words immediately attracted a burst of laughter from the locker room.

"No, that's so boring. Last year, James (Anderson) bought us donuts." Jefferson shook his head and said.

"What do you have to offer?" Ginobili looked at Jefferson.

"I saw Tang driving to train before. How about stuffing a car with popcorn?" Jefferson said.

When he opened his mouth, there was another whistle in the locker room. Popcorn's move was almost every team's favorite.

"No, Richard, that's not fair. Leonard and Joseph have no cars." Green reminded.

"That's even more. He bought a car in the first year." Jefferson continued.

His words also attracted a wave of echoes from his teammates. Many NBA players were from poor families, and Tang Tian was easily jealous when he bought a car in the first year.

"Other carry your bag, so that each of them will have a share." Green suggested.

"Danny, that won't work, we've decided." Jefferson directly rejected Green.

"Popcorn! Popcorn!" The team members began to cheer in the locker room.

Ginobili could only smile bitterly and shake his head. It seemed that Tang Tian’s new car was going to suffer.

Green and Tang Tian have the best relationship. Jefferson originally wanted him to go, but Green refused. Ginobili also said that he was not interested, so Jefferson had to go on his own.

The next day, as soon as Tang Tian arrived at the locker room to change his training clothes, Jefferson walked towards him.

"Dang, something went wrong with my car. I have something urgent. Can you lend me your car?" Jefferson said as he came over.

When Tang Tian heard this, he was stunned. Jefferson had a very cold attitude towards him before. Why did he suddenly ask him to borrow a car?

To talk about relationships, everyone else in the Spurs has a better relationship than between them.

He glanced at him and found that the other teammates were looking at him.

He was a coach in his previous life, and soon he understood what Jefferson was trying to do. Is he trying to make a rookie trick?

This kind of thing was not uncommon when he was coaching. If he borrowed a car, would he have to stuff popcorn into it?

He actually didn't object to the prank. If it were Green or Ginobili, he might have given the key even if he knew it. After all, this kind of thing is beneficial to the team atmosphere in a sense, and if he said that, he would only drive the car to clean it once.

But Jefferson had a bad impression of him before, and he didn't want to give him such face.

"I forgot to refuel my car." Tang Tian replied.

As soon as he said this, there was a sudden boo in the locker room. It was obvious that Jefferson's failure was despised by them.

Leonard and Joseph were confused. They didn't know what had just happened.

Jefferson's face was not very good-looking. He had not even completed the prank, so he couldn't bear to worry about his face.

"Richard, let them carry their bags." Green stood up and said at this time.

Jefferson didn't move.

"Okay, Richard, training is coming soon. The old man will come later." Ginobili also spoke.

Jefferson sat back with some displeasure when he heard Ginobili speak.

"What are you carrying a bag?" Joseph spoke in confusion at this time.

"Child, you'll know when the training is over." Ginobili went over and patted him on the shoulder.

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room. Most of them actually didn't care about the method. Just make up for such things, and focus on a process and a sense of ritual.
