The invincible kryptonite of basketball

The Pelicans' offense.

After Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt, he called Ariza to pick and roll this time.

McCollum's story is very inspirational, but the NBA is very cruel.

Ariza took Matthews away after demolition, and Tang Tian singled McCollum.

After he wobbled and broke through, McCollum kept up with speed.

Jokic was very smart at this time, using his own size to jam Lopez tightly so that the latter could not help the defense.

Tang Tian pushed McCollum to the basket and jumped directly.

"Oh!"

He forced the ball into the basket through McCollum!

McCollum's thin body was thrown off the field.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Tang Tian showed no mercy to McCollum.

Being dunked, McCollum's mentality was somewhat affected. Back on the offensive end, his outside three-pointer shot missed.

Looking back, Tang Tian misplaced and hit him again. After a shake, he hit a three-pointer, which directly wiped out the Trail Blazers' hope of chasing points.

In the end, the Pelicans maintained their advantage until the end, beating the Trail Blazers 109 to 93 and getting a good start to the season.

For the Trail Blazers, Lillard scored a team-high 26 points, but he only made 23 of 9 shots. Aldridge scored 23 points and 11 rebounds, and McCollum contributed 15 points and 2 assists.

鹈鹕队这边6人得分上双，戴维斯20分10板3盖帽，霍乐迪15分6助攻，约基奇10分7板3助攻，阿里扎和各队各有12分进账。

唐天20投12中，得到了全场最高的32分6板7助攻。

He scored a lot, but he didn't take many shots. Anyone who has watched the game can know that his scoring is much easier than last season.

This is the change brought about by the breakthrough.

It has become more difficult than ever for defensive players to prevent him from rushing and shooting.

Of course, what impressed the fans the most was his two dunks.

Dunking Matthews once and McCollum once made the fans think that he was possessed by Westbrook.

After the game, Tang Tian was interviewed by reporters on the sidelines as the MVP of the game.

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt someone approaching behind him.

He thought it was Ci Shiping pouring water on him again, so he moved his head to hide.

"Snapped!"

It turned out that I didn't expect it to be a force on the buttocks.

He turned around angrily.

To know things like swinging hips, he was photographed by Ginobili when he was in San Antonio.

Ci Shiping, this guy...

Forehead!

He turned his head and found that it was not Ci Shiping, but Davis!

Thick eyebrows and big eyes, smiling all over the face.

He looked shocked.

It's hard for him to imagine that Davis was the one who got fucked just now? !

Davis saw Tang Tian's expression, pointed to his head, and then ran away.

The meaning is obvious, Tang Tian patted his head last season, and now he's going to take revenge by patting his butt!

After Tang Tian realized it, he couldn't laugh or cry.

For some reason, he always feels like he's still playing for the Spurs.

After accepting the reporter's interview, Tang Tian didn't go back to the locker room, but went directly to the post-match press conference with Borrego.

Davis didn't come, and Williams took Jokic to sit there in advance.

It can be seen that he is very satisfied with Jokic's performance.

The press conference started quickly, and the first person to ask questions was a reporter from the local media in Portland.

"The team's starting center Whiteside only scored 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Jokic performed well as a substitute. Will you put Jokic in the starting lineup in the next game?"

The Trail Blazers' loss made the local fans unhappy. This reporter should be one of them. He asked a very provocative question.

If the answer to this question is yes, then Whiteside will definitely be hit. On the contrary, if the answer is no, then Jokic on the side will be hit.

Williams didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Whiteside is our starting center. As a teammate, I believe he will find his form in the game soon."

Tang Tian took the microphone at this time and spoke back.

Chapter 579 Jokic is also a foodie (third update!)

There is no third answer to this question, it must be answered head-on.

When answering this kind of question, you have to make some trade-offs. Knowing this, it is actually easy to answer.

Whiteside's brain is not very good, and he is very concerned about this kind of thing, which can be seen from the excitement of the 2K value change before the game.

If you give him a blow at this time, maybe what he will think in his heart.

On the contrary, Jokic is a rookie, and his weight has not been lost, and it is impossible for the Pelicans to let him start.

So what he said was the truth and the most appropriate answer.

"Yes, Hassan performed very well in the preseason. He is our starting center. We believe that he will control the foul problem in the following games."

Williams then nodded.

Whiteside's progress is visible to the naked eye, and his current overall strength is the strongest player at the fifth position of the Pelicans.

If the fouls in a game are not well controlled, it will not allow their coaching staff to adjust the lineup.

"A lion is rising."

After the game between the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers, NBA officials reported the game with such headlines.

This is a pun.

It can be understood that the lion is Tang Tian, ​​because Tang Tian has this nickname, and the strength he showed in the game is more comfortable than last season.

The Lions can also be understood as the Pelicans. The Pelicans have gone through the draft and offseason reinforcements, showing amazing competitiveness.

But no matter what kind of understanding it is, one thing is certain, the Pelicans this season is really not as ordinary as ESPN said!

After their opener against the Trail Blazers, the Pelicans return to New Orleans, where their next game is at home against the Heat in two days.

Williams schedules daily shootarounds.

"Thank you, Don!"

Before the training started, Whiteside took the initiative to find Tang Tian to thank him.

He read the news reports and knew that Tang Tian had spoken for himself.

"Don't thank me, I didn't play well in the next game, be careful I kick your ass!"

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Whiteside nodded vigorously.

It was Tang Tian's help last season that allowed him to stay on the team. Tang Tian is the image of his big brother to him.

The training atmosphere of the Pelicans is still very good. They won the Trail Blazers and made a good start. The self-confidence on the faces of the players is even stronger.

After the training, Nash was still there to guide Davis on shooting drills, and Tang Tian stayed for extra training as usual.

Jokic didn't leave either, he was there for weight training.

After practicing for more than an hour, both Nash and Davis left.

Tang Tian also sat on the sidelines to rest. He took a sip of water and saw that Jokic was still practicing.

It is really strange to say that Jokic has been in the NBA for more than a month, and he has been losing weight according to the requirements of the coaching staff.

But now it seems that his body shape is basically the same as when he first came.

After another ten minutes, Jokic's training was over, and he walked to the sidelines and sat down panting heavily.

"How much do you weigh?"

Tang Tian turned his head and asked.

Jokic's weight is directly linked to defense.

Now that Jokic has just started playing, the opponents are not so targeted, but as the season progresses, the situation will definitely change.

Especially in the playoffs, if this is still the case, they will definitely be targeted to death.

"133kg."

Jokic gave the answer.

Tang Tian felt a little headache.

I only lost 4 catties in a month, and it was still under professional guidance. This speed is really not ordinary slow.

"Are you born with this physique?"

Tang Tian couldn't help asking.

Jokic in history, who will only land in the NBA next season, he remembers not being as exaggerated now.

Jokic shook his head.

"I used to weigh only about 110 kilograms, but I can't stand in the paint with that weight in Europe, so I have to gain weight."

Hearing this, Tang Tian probably understood.

Europe is dominated by the Great Pyrenees, where the transition speed of offense and defense is much slower than that of the NBA, which leads to the need for tonnage rather than speed inside.

The environment determines the players, just like the fact that there are fewer and fewer traditional NBA centers.

But it shouldn't be said that way. If it's not a physical problem, then the addition should also be subtracted.

"What do you usually eat?"

Tang Tian continued to ask.

After he entered the NBA, in order to adapt to his skills, under the guidance of Cecilia, he lost weight and gained weight. He is quite familiar with this process.

Besides training, diet is another equally important part.

"I follow the requirements of the coaching staff for food intake."

"Didn't steal it?"

Tang Tian asked with a smile, did he remember that he felt very hungry when he lost weight.

Jokic scratched his head shyly when he heard what Tang Tian asked.

The answer is obvious.

"When I'm too hungry to sleep at night, I'll have some brek, but that's all."

Jokic said with some embarrassment.

"brek? what's that?"

Tang Tian had never heard of such a thing before.

"Wait a moment."

Jokic licked his lips and stood up, then trotted out of the training hall.
