Although he was suspended, Tang Tian still trained with the team and went to San Antonio with the team.

The suspension is just that you cannot participate in the competition or appear on the field, and other aspects will not affect you.

He was also cheering for the team when he did this.

In the locker room before the game, the players were all preparing for the final preparations for the game.

"Don, we will win this game for you."

Boyang, the chatterbox, started chatting again.

Tang Tian nodded with a smile.

The Spurs are very strong and they are playing at home. When he and Ariza cannot play, it will be difficult for the Pelicans to win.

But Boyang's mentality is what the team needs, and he cannot lose without a fight.

"Yes, we will."

Davis nodded and agreed, his eyes firmly.

Other team members nodded one after another.

They know the entanglement between Tang Tian and the Spurs, and they also know that the Pelicans cannot lose in such a game.

No matter what their lineup is.

After a while, Stevens came in and announced the team's lineup.

Boyn will become a small forward, Dinwiddie will become a point guard, and Harris will be on the activation list.

Stevens used a double-control lineup in this game.

This is his response, and he is actually a little forced.

Substitute guard Moro is in poor form this season, and both Joe Harris and Forbes are still too young.

With two wings missing at once, the team's rotation pressure is still very high.

"Joe, can I interview you? Are you excited to be on the activation list for the first time?"

After Stevens announced the matters to pay attention, Boyang turned around and began to tease Harris.

Harris is the kind of person who is really taciturn. When he heard Boyang's interview, he just stared at him blankly, which made Boyang laugh.

This scene looked a bit like Ginobili teasing Leonard.

The game was about to begin, and the Pelicans players all left the locker room, and Tang Tian stayed alone.

The Spurs' visiting team's locker room was simple, but fortunately he was familiar with it, so he ran directly to the hall outside and turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast.

Next door is the cinema, where the salesperson was not changed. He even sent him a popcorn.

This treatment is no worse than that of the audience in the venue.

The attendance rate of att stadium is only about 80% tonight. Although this is a strong conversation, Tang Tian's absence has made this game less interesting.

Tang Tian started eating popcorn, and the opening ceremony also entered the scene.

The Spurs have a round rest, and Ginobili won't play this game.

However, this has little impact on the Spurs, and they are still in the regular lineup.

Parker and Green on the outside, Leonard and Aldridge on the front, and Duncan on the center.

Tang Tian felt a little touched when he saw Duncan.

This is not the first time the Pelicans played against the Spurs. The last time they played was in New Orleans, and Tang Tian also asked Duncan when he retired.

Because at that time, he was mainly focused on the game, so he didn't pay much attention to some details on the court.

But now seeing Duncan's nearly half of his white hair in the live broadcast really made him feel moved.

When he first entered the league, although Duncan was old, his hair was still black. It has been more than four years in the blink of an eye, and Duncan has really gotten old.

The game began soon, and Duncan won Davis by a strong jump, kicking off the game.

Small balls are popular in the league, but the Spurs' offensive rhythm is still very slow. Parker advances to the frontcourt, and they still play the hammer tactics.

After pick-and-roll on the right side of the free throw line, Aldridge received Parker's mid-range hit, opening the first record for the Spurs.

But looking back, Davis also borrowed Jokic from the same position to pick-and-roll and scored a goal.

Stevens' tactical system relies on pick-and-roll, which is very similar to the Spurs' hammer tactics, and also has a mirror-like effect.

Leonard broke through Bo Yang from outside the three-point line and scored to the inside, showing his positioning advantage.

Holiday's three-pointer in the frontcourt missed, the Spurs played a fast break, and Parker's layup was blocked by Davis.

The Pelicans played a fast break against each other, and Davis ran from the backcourt to the frontcourt, receiving Dinwiddie's pass and making a layup in the middle.

The Spurs wanted to play slowly, but Stevens was pulling the pace with the double controls.

The players on the field are fighting, and the coaches are also playing against each other.

The gap between top coaches is not big, and what we see is more about the players' state and execution ability on the court.

The Spurs are in a stable state, but Davis is in an amazing state on the Pelicans.

He scored 10 points alone in the first quarter, and he also helped the Pelicans to stalemate with the Spurs 20-21.

When Boyan said he wanted to help the team win the game, Davis agreed very seriously. From his condition on the court, he did the same.

There are 3 minutes left in this quarter, and both sides have successively entered rotation.

Gasol, Dior, Bellinelli, and Joseph on the Spurs made their debut one after another, and Morro, Amino and McGee on the Pelicans made their debut one after another.

At this time, the Pelicans' disadvantages began to appear.

Morrow's condition is still sluggish, and the excessive playing time has caused both Holiday and Dinwiddie's efficiency to inevitably decline.

Under the leadership of Gasol, the Spurs played the Pelicans 11-2 in the last three minutes, and the score difference was widened to 10 points.

The impact of Tang Tian and Ariza's inability to fight is obvious.

Tang Tian was thinking about whether he would help the team go to the free market to find a surprise soldier to spend this period, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"You're here."

Tang Tian looked up and saw that it was Holt, with an assistant next to him.

Tang Tian had an average relationship with Holt when he was at the Spurs.

Last year, the media revealed that when Holt left, he was even worse at the moment when he left, and his impression of this former boss was even worse.

Unexpectedly, the two met by chance here.

But this is nothing strange, after all, this is the home court of the Spurs.

Tang Tian smiled, even if he had said hello.

Holt didn't care either. He took a look at the score on TV and sat down.

His experience in the past two years can really be described as tragic.

Tang Tian went to the Pelicans. He was overly excited to watch the Pelicans and Spurs' games and then suffered a heart attack.

Later, the Spurs and the Pelicans encountered each other in the playoffs. He stood up and showed off his 3-1 lead and was slapped in the face. As a result, his heart disease relapsed and almost died.

The Spurs continued to strengthen this season, but the Pelicans made it even harder to be the first in the league.

Tang Tian couldn't play this game, and the Spurs were likely to win, so he didn't plan to watch it.

But I didn't expect to meet Tang Tian so by chance, so he had to watch it.

The Spurs had a 10-point lead in the first quarter, and the Spurs had a great advantage in this game.
Chapter completed!
