Williams lost control of his center of gravity and flew off the court.

Tang Tian passed the ball to Ginobili, and the Spurs advanced to the frontcourt with a 4-on-5 advantage.

Tang Tian followed up to the frontcourt and didn't have a chance at first, so he actively sought a screen from Bonner to run out of an opportunity.

Ginobili's long pass cut across the court to him, and he shot after receiving the ball.

"Swish!"

This time he seized the opportunity, making the shot cleanly.

This was also his third three-pointer in the first half!

A steal and a three-pointer, Tang Tian directly provided Williams with a one-stop service!

"How did he do that?" Some fans couldn't help but complain, Williams was in hot form earlier, but in the blink of an eye, Tang Tian had made him so embarrassed.

"It's just one play, Derrick will respond."

A Williams fan said, it's unfair to judge a person based on one offensive and defensive play, Williams will definitely retaliate against Tang Tian's steal.

The difference on the court was still 9 points.

Barea controlled the ball, calling for a pick-and-roll with Williams, and after the screen, he passed the ball back to Williams.

Williams faced Mills and took a step, accelerating to hit a mid-range shot, narrowing the point difference to 7 points again.

Whistles came from the sidelines.

"I told you!"

The fan from before shouted loudly, he had just finished speaking, and Williams immediately made a shot!

In the Spurs' offense, Ginobili's step-back three-pointer missed.

However, Splitter grabbed the offensive rebound and flicked it back to Ginobili.

Ginobili used a three-point shooting fake to fool Johnson, accelerated to break through, attracted a double-team, and then passed it to the outside.

Tang Tian received the ball, waited for Williams to pounce, and shot, drawing a three-point foul on the latter.

Just like benching before, Tang Tian plays half with skill and half with brains, Williams' IQ was suppressed.

Three free throw opportunities.

Tang Tian made all three free throws despite the interference, widening the point difference to double digits for the first time, while his individual score in the first half unknowingly reached 12 points.

Jefferson's silent prayer for missed free throws didn't work, and he suddenly felt that the momentum was a bit off.

Because according to this trend, it was no longer a question of whether the performance was better than before.

This was already 12 points in the second quarter, this could very well be another career night for Tang Tian!

If he had a new career night in his first start, then his starting position...

His mentality was a bit broken.

The game on the court continued, in the Timberwolves' offense, Barea continued to look for Williams for a pick-and-roll.

But Tang Tian directly squeezed through this time to disrupt it, sticking close to Williams and not giving him a chance.

Barea's pick-and-roll didn't work, so he attacked Mills himself, but was blocked directly by the back-defending Splitter.

The Spurs switched from defense to offense, and Tang Tian's fast break speed was very fast.

Ginobili then sent a long pass across the entire court, and Tang Tian received the ball and easily made a fast break layup.

His three-pointers were stable, but he wasn't just good at three-pointers.

The point difference reached 12 points.

"Derrick seems to be suppressed." The fans on the sidelines watched with a hint of helplessness.

That fan of Williams didn't say anything, Williams did make a responding shot, but Tang Tian turned around and scored 5 points in a row...

This really showed the difference…

Adelman called a timeout when he saw the momentum was wrong.

After the timeout, Love, Rubio, and Ridnour were successively substituted back into the game, and Popovich also successively substituted Duncan and Parker after seeing this.

Both sides substituted their starting lineups back in advance.

After switching back to the main lineup, Duncan still had an advantage in the paint.

However, Love ushered in an explosion, he scored all kinds of goals in the paint against Blair, Splitter, and even Duncan, helping the Timberwolves to closely bite the score.

Before the end of the first half, Love's buzzer-beating three-pointer set the score at 53 to 60, the Timberwolves were only 7 points behind at halftime.

Love scored 20 points in the first half, and Duncan scored 16 points for the Spurs, the PK between the two forwards in the first half became the main theme of the game.

"The speed of helping defend Love in the paint must be faster, Love doesn't pass the ball well in the low post, and Peković's speed is very slow, so there's enough time to help defend and then return."

During the halftime break, Popovich seized the time to summarize and analyze.

"They will definitely do the same, Danny, Tang, the two of you should do more off-ball movement, ensuring that there are always open opportunities to receive the ball on the outside."

Tang Tian and Green nodded successively after listening, Love and Duncan performed bravely in the first half, and the second half would depend on how the two coaches made targeted adjustments.

With the second half of the game about to begin, the players from both sides successively left the locker room to return to the court.

Green then discovered that Jefferson hadn't left yet, and the tablet he was holding was showing the live game.

"Richard, we will win." Green thought Jefferson was worried about the team, so he went over and patted him on the shoulder.

Win your sister!

Jefferson wanted to curse, but after thinking about it carefully, his originally collapsing mood eased slightly.

That's right, although Tang Tian scored 14 points in the first half, his shooting percentage of 4 out of 7 was very efficient.

But that definitely won't happen in the second half, the Timberwolves will definitely focus on defense!

Opportunity, yes, there's still a chance!

Returning for the second half, neither side adjusted their starting lineups.

The Timberwolves attacked first.

As Popovich expected, Love immediately went to the low post to back down Duncan.

Duncan's defense was very solid, but he was old after all, and with Love's weight, he was a bit strained in defending.

Blair came over to help defend, and Love chose to pass the ball in the double team.

"Pa!"

But at that moment, a figure suddenly rushed back into the paint, directly intercepting Love's pass!

Tang Tian!

The fans at the scene were dumbfounded, Tang Tian's steal was too elusive!

Tang Tian himself had single-player defensive skills, and his steals became much stronger after practicing dynamic vision.

But the bigger reason was prediction, Popovich also emphasized during halftime that Love would most likely pass the ball when facing a double team, so this steal was not surprising at all.

The Spurs launched a defensive counterattack, and Parker found Green in position, whose three-point shot was slightly off.

Williams grabbed the defensive rebound, and Love went back to the low post to continue attacking.

This time, his turnaround fadeaway in the face of a double team went wide, the shot was too difficult.

Tang Tian protected the defensive rebound, and after the Spurs reached the frontcourt, they also gave the ball to Duncan in the low post.

Both sides played the low-post offense of the power forward after returning in the second half, giving the feeling of a mirrored image.

Rubio's help defense.

Parker wasn't good at three-pointers, this help defense choice was very correct, Adelman was a coach on the verge of winning 1,000 games after all.

But just when Rubio was helping defend, Tang Tian used Parker's screen to drop to the right 45-degree angle.

Duncan saw it and flicked a pass.

Rubio helped defend Tang Tian, but Tang Tian's shot speed after receiving the ball was very fast.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian continued his excellent touch from the first half, making the first outside shot of the second half cleanly.

The point difference returned to double digits again!

Jefferson's heart skipped a beat.

Tang Tian got a chance to shoot as soon as the second half started, which was even smoother than in the first half!

In the Timberwolves' offense, Love's early pass this time was successfully given to Peković, and Peković's shot went in.

Turning back, the Spurs continued to play Duncan, and Rubio continued to help defend.

This time, the one who got the opportunity was Green, but Green didn't shoot directly after receiving the ball, but waited for the补防 (bǔ fáng, help defense) Williams, and then gave the ball to Tang Tian!

He knew that Tang Tian's hand was very hot tonight.

Tang Tian didn't hesitate after receiving the ball, directly taking a quick three-point shot.

"Swish!"

Another crisp sound.

Tang Tian's performance in the second half was even better than in the first half, hitting two consecutive three-pointers as soon as he came up!

Jefferson then angrily slapped the tablet.

"Ka!"

The entire screen was shattered.

His mentality had completely collapsed.
