After half-time adjustment, Tang Tian finally found his touch.

The lid of his own basket was finally lifted by him!

Carlisle reached out and called for a pause.

Tang Tian made these two three-pointers in the second half, and the Spurs made a 10-2 offensive and successfully overturned the score!

"Reggie, it seems we were wrong in the first half. He was not nervous and was not affected by Jason's words."

Bolling said.

"Yes, he just simply didn't find the feel."

Miller nodded at this time.

If Duncan scored 4 points in a row to sound the counterattack horn, then Tang Tian’s two three-pointers directly pushed the counterattack momentum to a climax.

After the timeout, the Mavericks made substitutions and Terry came on the court to replace Haywood.

The Mavericks only scored 2 points when they came back in the second half, and Carlisle obviously wanted to improve the team's offense.

Kidd's frontcourt organization, Terry repeatedly ran without the ball with pick-and-rolls from Nowitzki and Marion.

However, such a running position did not help him get rid of defense.

When he finished running, Tang Tian was still following him closely.

Terry is not a player who is good at running without the ball. Thompson was not even able to catch the ball by Tang Tianchao, let alone him.

However, Terry obviously not only knows how to catch the ball and shoot. He ran directly to Kidd, and after receiving the ball, he directly chose to attack with the ball.

Without calling a pick-and-roll, Terry chose to pull out a three-pointer after dribbling continuously.

This is also his best scoring method.

However, Tang Tian made a prediction in advance and directly rushed to interfere.

Tang Tian was more than ten centimeters taller than Terry, and his wingspan was not short. In addition, he had predictions, so he reached out to completely cover Terry's shooting sight.

Terry's move was a three-no-touch person.

There was a booing sound at the scene.

Terry performed brilliantly in the finals last season, but his condition has declined significantly this season.

Moreover, it seems that those saliva words did not affect Tang Tian, ​​but instead made him feel a little too confident.

Tang Tian said that he had already proved himself to be a top outside defender in his rookie season, and Terry was so capable that he was just a gift.

Dior got the rebound and threw his hands to the front pass. Parker caught the ball and made a layup in the frontcourt. The Spurs overtook the Mavericks by 3 points.

The score at the scene in this quarter was 12 to 2.

In the first half, the Mavericks played the defensive champion, but in the second half, the Spurs played their best in the West!

Terry continued to play in the frontcourt, but this time he did not force Tang Tian to take action, but instead asked Marion to mention the three-point line to play pick-and-roll.

However, Tang Tian posted it very tightly and did not give Marion a pick-and-roll chance.

Terry failed several attempts, and Marion was a little anxious and forced the block directly, but the referee blew the move pick-and-roll.

Another mistake!

There were constant whistles on the scene. This was the scene that the West had to be the first to beat the eighth place!!

In the Spurs' offense in the frontcourt, Parker gave the ball directly to Dior at the high position, and then signaled his teammates to pull it away.

After Heywood left the court, Nowitzki became the No. 5 position for the Mavericks, and the Mavericks' inside line was obviously empty.

Although the veteran driver has no solution to the offense, he has never been a player who is good at defense.

Dior leaned against Nowitzki and arched his big butt directly inside.

Nowitzki obviously couldn't stand it.

Tang Tian also played without the ball with Duncan at this time, and Marion's assisted defense could not be overcome.

Dior hit the penalty area, directly arched Nowitzki, wiped the board and put the ball into the basket.

When he was young, Dior was also a master who flew to the sky, but now, he is a master who relies on his butt to make a living!

The Spurs in turn led the Mavericks by 5 points!

Popovich's face was full of smiles.

Tang Tian’s two three-pointers made more than just scored 6 points.

The Spurs' hammer tactics are very important to space. Tang Tian, ​​as the main end point of tactics, cannot make a shot, and it is difficult to fight without space on the field.

But now Tang Tian has two consecutive games, and the Mavericks obviously dare not accept it. This is why Dior plays so easily in the inside.

Terry came up and was killed by Tang Tian, ​​but it didn't work. The Mavericks could only rely on Nowitzki.

The veteran driver took the ball outside the three-point line and rushed directly into the basket.

After a long scoring drought, the Mavericks finally added the distribution.

But looking back, Leonard's free cut also scored a layup.

The Mavericks' inside line really feels like it's useless.

Carlisle could only call Masinmi up and let him go up and replace Marion, and put Nowitzki back to the fourth position.

Terry took the ball in the frontcourt to find Nowitzki's pick-and-roll, but Tang Tian was close to him and didn't give him a chance.

He chose to take the initiative to make a move that was one step further.

Dior slapped him and took action!

The audience on the sidelines had a climax.

There is heavy fog in the Holy City tonight, and it seems that the jets have no chance to take off!

Terry couldn't open, and the Mavericks' offensive focus was on Nowitzki's side.

Nowitzki's unsolvable solution is relative. Last year, the Mavericks said they won the single-core championship, but Terry averaged 18+ points in the finals, which helped a lot.

Now that his teammates cannot help him, his defensive pressure has doubled and his efficiency has declined significantly.

The game on the court continues, but the Spurs have completely taken the initiative on the court.

The Mavericks let go of a wave of core rotation in the summer, but the most important one is Chandler.

Chandler is the biggest barrier for the Mavericks' inside line, and this season, the Knicks still averaged 11.3 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game.

His role is completely irreplaceable to Heywood and Massimmi.

Without him, the Mavericks' inside line is really full of flaws.

In the first half, Tang Tian failed to open it and they could still make up for this by assisting defense, but in the second half, Tang Tian found the feel and his weakness was completely exposed.

The Spurs played the Mavericks 30-10 in the third quarter, and at the end of the third quarter, he led by 13 points.

And the score difference is more obvious. The situation on the court, and the Mavericks really don't see any hope of turning the tables.

The Spurs continued to work hard in the fourth quarter and finally defeated the Mavericks 97-81, winning the first victory in the series.

The scores of both sides in the entire second half were 59 to 36, 23 points, which was the real strength gap between the two teams.

Duncan scored the most points in the Spurs. He scored another big double-double with 25 points and 11 rebounds at the age of 35. Parker scored 20 points and 9 assists, and Ginobili scored 11 points.

Tang Tian made 0 of 4 shots in the first half, but made 3 of 4 three-pointers in the second half, 4 of 9 shots in the game, plus one of two free throws, and also scored 12 points, 3 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block.

"I told him during the break that if he can't make another shot in the second half, he will have to buy me a new car."

At the post-match press conference, when talking about Tang Tian’s performance changes in the first and second half, Popovich also said jokingly.
Chapter completed!
