The Godfather of Basketball - v2 Chapter 822
The old man was a little upset at the sideline and yelled at Guy twice.
The roar of the old man is still useful. Porter is strictly prevented from receiving the ball, and his weakness of not having much autonomy is also exposed.
But after the defensive focus shifted, Kuzma and Yi Jianlian got opportunities one after another, and the Nets also took advantage of this period to pull the difference.
This also became a period for the Nets to finally win.
From 98 to 90, the Nets finally defeated the Spurs away and won their first victory in December.
Butler scored a team-high 20 points, Irving and Mitchell each had 15 points, Anthony had 10 points, bench Yi Jianlian had 13 points and 7 rebounds, Kuzma had 11 points, Potter had 3 of 4 shots and 3 points board.
After the game, Tang Tian and the team doctor participated in Ding Yan Yuhang’s MRI.
The test result is negative, which is not a big deal. You can recover after a week or so of rest.
Fortunately, it is not a big deal, but Ding Yan Yuhang’s mood is still a bit low. He is on the verge of rotation at the Nets. In addition, Porter has performed well, and he is not likely to fall out of rotation.
Tang Tian reached out and patted his shoulder to comfort him, and said something encouraging.
The cruelty of NBA competition is probably only known by being in it.
Winning the Spurs is a great encouragement for the overall morale of the Nets, which also prepares them for the next January without George.
After George’s absence, Butler stepped up in time to fill in his scoring gap and proved that he is still an All-Star player.
Substitute Seaport also seized the opportunity, and the steady fire output allowed him to win the positional battle with Ba Moote, and successfully squeezed into rotation.
Time flies quickly, and Christmas arrives in a blink of an eye. Tang Tian only spends Christmas with his family at home, and flew to Philadelphia with the team at night.
The Nets will celebrate the Christmas battle with the 76ers in Philadelphia, the first time the two sides have played against each other.
This game has also received much attention.
Philadelphia’s popularity has soared after welcoming James this year. Their record in the Eastern Conference is only behind the Nets and is also a strong contender for the championship.
Before the game, the media also heated up the topic. James and Tang Tian are likely to meet again in this year’s playoffs. This time it is difficult to say who laughed at the end.
The experience of the regular season is undoubtedly a good warm-up.
The two teams also spared no effort to make the main effort.
On the Nets’ side, Owen and Mitchell, forwards Butler and Anthony, center Jokic.
On the Sixers, Simmons and Covington on the perimeter, James and Suric on the front, Embiid on the center.
Embiid took the lead in offensive opportunities for the 76ers, and Simmons hit James’ jumper after a frontcourt impact.
James said in the summer that he hopes to have a team that can play more without balls. The presence of Simmons is very good to satisfy his wish.
Irving scored Anthony in the frontcourt. Anthony swung away the Sarrich basket and scored.
Although time has changed, Little Melon still has a spirit to meet James.
After the start of the game, both teams showed a high level of tactical literacy, but after the lack of George, the Nets did not have a good defense effect on James. The point difference was slowly pulled away. They trailed the 76ers by 10 points 46-56.
Tang Tian pulled Frank to talk about tactical adjustments in the midfield. When he returned to the office, he heard that the cell phone inside was ringing.
In order to keep himself focused during the game, he didn’t take his mobile phone with him. He walked over to see that Swift had called him, picked up the ringtone and stopped, and saw 6 missed calls.
He hurriedly dialed back, and heard Swift’s irritated voice.
Tang Tang has a fever and is now in the Manhattan hospital.
They have family doctors, and they usually do n’t send them to the hospital for minor illnesses, which shows that the situation is more serious.
He comforted Swift, then asked the company to take care of two people, hung up the phone and clenched the phone unconsciously.
“Don, you go back first, I can get it here,” Frank said, looking at Tang Tian anxiously.
Tang Tian hesitated for a while, then finally shook his head.
The victory or defeat of a game is really irrelevant, but now the team is behind, his head coach is a lethal blow to morale, this is still the Christmas War, the impact will be doubled.
And he’s not a doctor, and the result now is the same as rushing back after the game.
“Let’s discuss the tactics in the second half.” Tang Tian took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and then said to Frank.
Frank asked for it, and finally nodded.
After James played without a ball, Simmons could have an unbridled impact, but he still did not practice shooting. In the past offseason, he has spent more time dating Kendall Jenner of the Kardashian family, and his shooting improved. The magnitude is small.
This was because of the first confrontation between the two sides, and James’ presence made them ignore it.
After discussing with Frank for more than ten minutes, he returned to the locker room and rearranged his tactics in the second half.
The second half of the game started. This adjustment quickly worked. After the release of Simmons, the Nets were equal to 5 defenses and 4 times. James was often double-teamed to choose the ball, but the ball was stopped by Simmons.
Even with the addition of James, the game seems to be back to the playoffs last season.
The morale of the Nets was so strong that they recovered a little bit.
On the sidelines, Tang Tian took out his mobile phone from time to time.
He talked to the company when he called before, and he would report to him as soon as possible.
It’s good news that the phone didn’t ring, but it kept him worried.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides entered a decisive battle. Anthony hit a semi-final shot at a crucial moment to help the Nets win the game.
Over the 76ers, James had 28 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists. Embiid had 21 points and 13 rebounds. Simmons had 9 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
The Nets side Butler has 20 points, Anthony has 18 points, Jokic has 16 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, Mitchell has 12 points and 5 assists, bench points have 15 points, Yi Jianlian has 12 points and 6 rebounds.
After the game, the Nets players celebrated in the locker room, this victory means a lot to them.
However, Tang Tian hurriedly left the arena after explaining with Frank.
After making a phone call to Swift and confirming that Tang Tang’s situation is stable, he boarded a plane back to Brooklyn in advance.
On the plane, he was apprehensive, and looking at the dark area outside the window, he suddenly felt that he might no longer be suitable for a team’s head coach.
