Kaman and Duncan jump ball.

The cheers from the crowd were deafening.

The definition of the China Game is an NBA game played in China.

Except for the fans, all other supporting facilities are NBA.

Take the floor as an example, because this game is the Spurs' home game, it was all airlifted from the United States.

Kaman won the jump ball against Duncan, winning the first offensive opportunity for the Mavericks.

Collison dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Nowitzki.

"Shoot! Shoot!"

The fans shouted at the scene.

The atmosphere was even more lively than the NBA playoffs.

Nowitzki also cooperated, directly turning around to single out Diaw, turning around with his signature "golden rooster independence" fadeaway jumper.

"Swish!"

The old driver was still sharp, and his signature shot hit steadily.

Cheers erupted instantly at the scene.

Spurs' offense.

Parker held the ball and made tactical gestures, the Spurs were obviously setting up plays for Tang Tian.

Most of these overseas games are preseason games, and wins and losses are irrelevant. The league has given instructions, and Popovich is also very cooperative.

Not to mention that this tactic itself is one of the Spurs' regular tactics.

Tang Tian used Duncan's pick-and-roll at the bottom corner for a catch-and-shoot three-point opportunity, with Ginobili making a first-time flick pass.

Tang Tian caught the ball.

The cheers of the fans were about to burst out.

Kaman rushed over to defend him at this time.

Tang Tian looked at Kaman, held the ball and raised it as if to shoot, but when he lifted it to his waist, he suddenly made a pushing motion with the ball.

Finger Art, increasing passing vision by 10%, Tang Tian had already glimpsed Duncan cutting to the basket before shooting.

"Bang!"

In the astonished eyes of the fans, Tang Tian faked a shot and made a real pass, giving a bounce pass to Duncan.

After Duncan caught the ball, he was unguarded and scored directly with a one-handed dunk.

"Beautiful pass!"

Xu Jicheng, the commentator on the sidelines, couldn't help but shout.

This pass was unexpected, like a scalpel precisely cutting into the Mavericks' hinterland.

"Tang's passing ability has improved a lot this summer."

Budenholzer couldn't help but say to Popovich.

The Spurs coaching staff didn't go to the Olympics, but Tang Tian had already shown his passing ability in training camp.

Now this ability is being demonstrated in actual combat.

Popovich nodded.

Many of the Spurs' players' contracts expire this season, and Holt's consistent principle is not to exceed the luxury tax, so their reinforcement space is very limited.

Being able to keep the championship members, instead of disintegrating like the Mavericks, the coaching staff and management have already put in a lot of effort.

Without reinforcements, they can only develop internally, and Tang Tian's progress will undoubtedly be a huge help to the Spurs.

The Mavericks' frontcourt offense was defended by the Spurs, and Duncan protected the defensive rebound.

The Spurs ran the td.step tactic in the frontcourt. Tang Tian received the ball at the top of the arc as a transition point, and the next step was to pass the ball to Parker.

However, Parker was still running, and Tang Tian suddenly flicked the ball straight to the basket.

This pass came very suddenly, but it just caught Kaman turning to help defend.

Duncan caught the ball and had another easy scoring opportunity.

He turned around and directly banked the shot in.

"Stone Buddha" scored 4 consecutive points at the start.

"This pass reminds me of Vlade Divac in the past. There are not many fancy moves, but he can always pass the ball to the most needed player at the most needed time."

Xu Jicheng seemed a little excited in the commentary booth.

You must know that Tang Tian relied on three-pointers and defense to help the team win the championship last season, but he showed such good passing talent at the beginning of this new season.

This shows one thing, Tang Tian is improving!

It is already not easy for a yellow-skinned person to survive in the NBA. Tang Tian is still improving, which really makes it hard not to get excited!

Duncan was also very happy, pointing at Tang Tian with his right index finger when returning to defense.

He probably didn't expect all summer that he had fed Tang Tian a whole season's worth of pies last season, and in the first game back this new season, he would become Tang Tian's feeding target!

"Pay attention to his passing."

Carlisle stood up and walked to the sidelines, reminding the Mavericks players on the court.

The Mavericks' bench players were also very surprised at this time. You must know that when they played against each other in the playoffs last season, Tang Tian's number of assists was only about 1, which was almost non-existent.

Only Yi Jianlian, who had played with Tang Tian in the Olympics, knew how good Tang Tian's passing was now.

The Mavericks attacked in the frontcourt, and Mayo singled out Tang Tian at a forty-five-degree angle on the right side.

Mayo was also a proud son of heaven, and later wandered around, but his strength still exists. He is the Mavericks' most important signing this summer.

Carlisle let him start instead of Carter in the first preseason game, and his attention to him is obvious.

Continuous crossover dribbling, a sudden step to start.

"Pa!"

But he was cut off by Tang Tian as soon as he started!

Mayo is good at outside shooting, and his breakthrough explosive power is not good.

Of course, what is more important is that Tang Tian's muscles and confrontation have been significantly enhanced after experiencing the rookie season, and his defensive strength is infinitely close to Tony Allen.

Mayo wanted to force his way through him.

"He's thinking too simply!"

Just like Xu Jicheng said in the commentary booth, he was thinking too simply!

Tang Tian was already looking forward when he intercepted the ball. After seeing Parker had already passed the three-point line, he directly made a long throw from the backcourt.

The most important thing for this kind of long throw is passing stability, and Finger Art strengthens this.

Parker caught the ball comfortably in the midfield, turned around and accelerated to甩开 Collison, and then scored with a flying layup.

6 to 2!

Tang Tian has sent out 3 assists in a row at the start!

Whistles sounded at the scene.

Tang Tian has transformed into the Spurs' defensive counterattack propeller!

It is said that besides the Spurs coaching staff, the most excited at this time are the fans who have watched the Olympics.

They have seen Tang Tian pass this kind of long pass a lot in the Olympic arena, but that is the Olympics after all, this is the NBA.

They didn't expect that Tang Tian could pass like this in the NBA arena!

It seems that Tang Tian's performance in the Olympics before was not his limit!

The Mavericks have a lot of personnel changes this season, and Carlisle quickly made substitutions after playing for a while. Yi Jianlian was replaced on the court.

Popovich also replaced Ginobili and Parker to rest one after another, but he kept Tang Tian on the court.

On the one hand, it is because the fans want to watch the Chinese Derby, and more importantly, he also wants to continue to examine Tang Tian's passing ability.

Tang Tian knew Popovich's little thoughts completely.

You want to see me show off? Then I'll show it to you!

Green just came up and received Tang Tian's long throw, and hit a three-pointer in the open position steadily.

At the end of the quarter, he even came up with a saucy no.look.pass to Leonard, and the latter's single-arm slam dunk directly detonated the audience!

5 assists in a single quarter!

Assists in double figures after three quarters!

When Popovich was shown a一脸 and replaced Tang Tian, Tang Tian's stats had reached 12 points and 10 assists!

The first double-double of his career was obtained unknowingly.
