Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork

Chapter 156 Desperate Jackson (9/10)

Jackson hadn't reacted yet, and Tang Tian had already passed the ball to Ginobili in the next second.

After receiving the ball, Ginobili turned around and launched a fast break, shaking off Harden and rushing to the front to score.

The Spurs launched a 5-0 run, narrowing the score difference to 2 points in one fell swoop!

There was a stir in the arena. Tang Tian came up and had a three-pointer and a steal, his performance was a bit eye-catching!

Jackson glanced at Brooks and Durant while dribbling forward.

Brooks frowned tightly, and Durant looked serious. Obviously, both the head coach and the team leader were dissatisfied with his performance during this period.

"Damn it!"

He cursed in his heart, and then he concentrated all his attention, his eyes fiery. He didn't believe that his hard training in the summer would have no effect at all.

He, the next round will prove it! Prove that everyone underestimated him!

Dribbling to the frontcourt, he continued to signal to pull away.

Harden pulled away at this time, and also reached out to signal the audience to give some encouraging cheers.

He is a good teammate.

Cheers and whistles rang out from the crowd.

American fans love this kind of heroic basketball the most. If you defend me once, then I will hit it back in the next ball!

Westbrook also got up to applaud his little brother, which was very much in his style.

Feeling the enthusiasm from the fans at the scene, Jackson was full of enthusiasm, glanced at Tang Tian in front of him, lowered his center of gravity and made continuous crossover dribbles.

Tang Tian is ten centimeters taller than him. Since he could still be intercepted at that frequency just now, if he lowers his center of gravity, Tang Tian will definitely not be able to intercept it!

He continued to change direction, lowered the dribbling height, and made another breakthrough to the right.

"Bang!"

Tang Tian successfully predicted the position and blocked his breakthrough route. Jackson accelerated and bumped into him, losing his balance.

"Pa!"

In the next second, amid the noise of the audience, Tang Tian took the lead to stand firm, and then reached out and accurately slapped the ball out of Jackson's hand.

Another steal!

Ginobili rushed over and grabbed the ball, then flicked it to Leonard who was on a fast break.

Leonard fast-breaked from the backcourt to the frontcourt, cleverly avoiding Cook's block and steadily sending the ball into the basket.

With a 7-0 run, the Spurs directly tied the score!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Brooks reached out and called a timeout.

The team's performance during this period was a bit bad.

"Nick, you go to the high post and do a pick-and-roll, Reggie, use the pick-and-roll to break through inside. Bonner is their defensive weakness." Brooks said quickly. He really understands how to train rookies. Jackson was very frustrated after failing to score continuously, but he didn't replace him, or prevent him from playing. Instead, he specifically arranged tactics for him.

This is his absolute trust in the players. Back then, Durant was able to make a world of his own through misses under this kind of trust, and has now become a popular star in the league.

Jackson was greatly encouraged after hearing this.

After Brooks finished arranging the tactics, Westbrook also took the initiative to pat Jackson on the chest to encourage him.

After the timeout ended, the players from both sides returned to the court one after another.

"Beat him, you can do it, we all believe in you." Durant also grabbed Jackson and said quickly.

Jackson nodded vigorously, roared in a low voice, and returned to the court with renewed morale.

In the Thunder's offense, Jackson held the ball in the frontcourt. Harden directed the tactics from the side. After the other players opened up space, Collison moved to the high post to give Jackson a pick-and-roll screen.

Bonner is a stretch four, with a stable three-pointer, but defense is his weakness. Brooks' choice is correct.

After Jackson was screened by Collison, he dribbled the ball at full speed to break through on the right.

But at this moment, Tang Tian's familiar figure appeared in front of him again!

At the moment Collison stepped up for the pick-and-roll, Tang Tian's professional instinct made him clearly know what the Thunder wanted to do.

Jackson's shooting ability is not good, he chose to give way at the first time to avoid switching defense on the pick-and-roll.

The tactics Brooks wanted did not work.

Jackson had some psychological shadow on Tang Tian after being stolen twice in a row. He was a little confused when he saw Tang Tian unexpectedly appearing in front of him at this moment, and he didn't react.

Tang Tian reached out to steal, this time it was completely different from before, he directly grabbed the ball from Jackson's hand with both hands!

Jackson reacted in the next second and wanted to grab the ball back, but he couldn't grab it!

Real hard grab!

The fans at the scene were stunned. Is this basketball or football?!

For a moment, they vaguely saw Gary Payton's shadow from Tang Tian!

The "Glove" in history, loved to do this kind of hard grab the most!

Of course, Tang Tian can't have Payton's ability now. He can't even give full play to Tony Allen's defensive strength because of his physical fitness. He is now completely relying on single-player defense plus dynamic vision to achieve the effect.

And it was also because Jackson was not experienced enough, and always broke through on the right, plus a moment of愣神, he was able to complete the hard grab.

But no matter what, the visual effect of this steal was quite explosive!

After Tang Tian stole the ball, he gave it to Ginobili at the first time.

Ginobili took the ball and threw it directly from the backcourt. The ball was given to Leonard who was fast-breaking. Leonard made a layup and scored the ball again after confronting Cook.

The fans at the scene were restless. After this confrontation, they had already discovered that Jackson was no match for Tang Tian at all.

Popovich nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines, and then retreated to the bench to sit down.

The team's two rookies, Leonard, have good defense and fast-break awareness, and Tang Tian's defense and three-pointers are a bit explosive. The Spurs did not make any reinforcements this summer, and even lost his most trusted substitute George Hill before, but now it seems that these two rookies are enough.

In the Thunder's offense, Reggie Jackson called for Collison's pick-and-roll but failed. Looking at Tang Tian in front of him, he chose to pass the ball, but made a low-level mistake and passed the ball directly out of bounds.

After Jackson made the mistake, he甩了甩手 violently, almost slapping himself.

The fans at the scene had already seen the word despair from his performance.

In fact, think about it, if it were any rookie, being stolen three times in a row by a defender, and one time the ball was snatched from his hand, it would be difficult not to collapse, this is really desperate!

Brooks also realized at this time that Jackson's strength was no match for Tang Tian, ​​and got up to call Westbrook up and let him replace him in advance.

Durant was very upset and got up to signal Brooks to play, but he was pressed back by Brooks. He wanted to win the game and didn't want to disrupt the rotation order.

Durant sat back on the bench unhappily, but he could only helplessly.

On the Spurs' bench, Parker was laughing so hard at this time. Tang Tian forced Westbrook to play early!

Duncan reached out and touched Parker's head at this time, and he could completely see his happiness from his expression.

This team hasn't had such strong newcomers for a long time.

And this time there are two at once.
