Chapter 183 Night of a Career (10th Update! Bonus Update for Dalian_JACK's Generous Reward!)

Basketball games depend on form in addition to strength. It's common to perform beyond expectations when you get hot.

Tang Tian was in such a state right now!

With his dunk, the score on the court became 60 to 50, and the Spurs took a double-digit lead for the first time!

Spoelstra reached out and called a timeout.

At this time, he finally realized that when the Heat played against James, the Spurs focused their defense on James!

Wear him down, double-team and help defend, and seize the opportunity to launch counterattacks.

This was repaying him in his own coin, using the same tactics he used in the first half against him!

After the timeout, Tang Tian was doggedly defended by Battier and Wade. After calling this timeout, Spoelstra really didn't give Tang Tian any more chances.

However, after taking a double-digit lead, the Spurs entered their best mode, advancing steadily step by step.

Although the score difference didn't seem big, the Heat just couldn't catch up.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Heat at home with a score of 101 to 93, taking a victory with significant gold content.

James had a game-high 33 points, 7 rebounds, and 7 assists, but also committed 5 turnovers, successfully joining the "empty stats" group.

Bosh scored 15 points and 1 rebound with 6 of 14 shots, Miller hit 5 three-pointers and scored 15 points, and Wade had a bad performance, contributing 13 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists with only 5 of 17 shots.

On the Spurs side, Parker had 16 points and 10 assists, Duncan had 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 3 blocks, Leonard had 12 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 steals, and Green also scored 9 points.

Tang Tian became the team's leading scorer for the first time. He played 32 minutes, made 8 of 14 shots, including 7 of 11 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws, efficiently scoring 27 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block! And without any turnovers!

This was the night of his career!

After the game, Ginobili was the first to come over and punched him in the right shoulder.

Then, before other teammates could come up, Duncan suddenly pulled Tang Tian over and rubbed his head frantically with a "Buddha-like" smile on his face.

Damn it, I'm going bald!

Tang Tian was shouting in his heart, but seeing the smile on Duncan's face, the words turned into an excited shout.

Involuntarily!

Taking down the Heat was a super strong boost for the Spurs, who had just performed poorly on a five-game road trip!

And for Tang Tian, having the best performance of his career in the game against the Heat gave James and the Heat's management a good reminder!

Whether you like it or not, it was wrong to give up your draft promise to me!

After the game, the two sides shook hands for the final farewell.

"Your performance was really great." Wade's appreciation for Tang Tian came from the heart. He really liked Tang Tian.

"Not bad performance."

James also praised Tang Tian when shaking hands. No matter what the situation, he always seemed to be perfect in maintaining his image.

Tang Tian also exchanged pleasantries politely.

For him, winning the game was gratifying, but what he wanted was definitely not just this regular season victory.

Hitting someone, a slap in the face hurts a little, but you forget it the next day. Only by constantly slapping him in the face will he really remember you.

"Godfather! Godfather!"

After the handshake, Tang Tian heard many fans on the sidelines calling his nickname.

In this game, he didn't use his hairstyle, but used his performance on the court to win some new fans for himself.

Seeing a little fan of eleven or twelve years old in the crowd who looked very pleasing to the eye, Tang Tian took off his clothes and threw them directly to him.

The little fan shouted excitedly.

"Ron, calm down." Tang Tian heard his father shouting at him with a smile as he turned to leave.

"Barrett, let me see." He faintly heard his partner shouting.

Tang Tian was already walking towards the player tunnel at this time, but the facts proved that he was thinking too much.

The team's female reporter, Catherine, was waiting there early.

Today was the night of his career, and it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to stay for a post-match interview.

This was also the first time he had enjoyed this kind of treatment.

"We'll wait for you in the locker room." Green said, patting him on the shoulder as he passed him.

Tang Tian nodded, then turned around and began to accept Catherine's interview.

"Tang, we know you have a nickname." Catherine said directly.

"Godfather?" Tang Tian asked tentatively.

"No, no." Catherine shook her head.

"What is it then?"

"Tang, the not-so-low-profile Spurs rookie, Tian." Catherine said with a smile.

Hearing the reporter say this, Tang Tian showed a helpless smile.

He had seen this nickname before, but he didn't expect that even the reporter knew about it.

"It's not right, I'm very low-key." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Really?" Catherine had an expression that said she didn't believe it.

"Really." Tang Tian nodded seriously. He had never said anything high-profile or done anything high-profile since he traveled through time.

"Oh, I see~" Catherine had an expression that said she understood, obviously still not believing what Tang Tian said.

"Okay, let's get down to business."

After she finished speaking, the assistant behind her set up the camera, and the interview officially began.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, so none of that counted before!

"27 points! Incredible! Tang, you broke your scoring record! And you hit 7 three-pointers, how did you do so well?"

As the official interview began, Catherine's tone of voice changed.

Tang Tian's mind was racing. Since Catherine didn't believe what he said, then he would reluctantly be high-profile.

"I don't know, maybe it's innate."

"..."

Bragging! And you say you're low-key!

"Did you think before the game that you would break your career record tonight?"

Catherine didn't expect Tang Tian to answer like this, but after all, she was an "old driver", and after being stunned for a moment, she immediately asked.

"No, Manu kept telling me about his dog being sick before the game. You know, he's been raising that dog for more than 10 years, and I'm very worried about it."

Tang Tian then replied.

"..."

Hearing Tang Tian's answer, Catherine realized that Tang Tian was not prepared to answer the questions properly.

If it were an old bird like Parker or Ginobili, she would probably just ask a few questions and end the interview.

But Tang Tian was a rookie! She was a reporter and couldn't say "Welcome to the NBA" to Tang Tian, but she still had to give him some "lessons".

"You made 7 three-pointers in a single game, do you think you can surpass Ray Allen?" Catherine asked a tough question.

This was a very difficult question to answer.

If the answer was yes, then Tang Tian would seem very arrogant, but if the answer was no, then he would seem to lack ambition.

Tang Tian didn't expect Catherine to ask this kind of question, but a problem that was a problem for others was not a problem for him at all.

"Yes." Tang Tian replied affirmatively.

The reporter then smiled and looked at Tang Tian, ​​thinking he had fallen for it, right?

"I'm taller than him." Tang Tian said affirmatively.
