Chapter 157 Rookie Tricks (10/10! First Order!)

Chapter 157 Rookie tricks (1010! Beg for the first order!)

When Popovich saw the Thunder starting early, he also got up and called Green and Parker, replacing Tang Tian and Ginobili.

Thanks to Tang Tian's strong performance against Jackson, the Spurs stalemate in the first half, and the two sides tied at 45 after halftime.

In the second half, Parker, who hadn't played much in the first half, ushered in an explosion. His consecutive fast break layups and throws directly helped the Spurs establish a double-digit lead.

Although Durant made successive mid-range and long-range shots to help the home team chase points, the stable output of Duncan and Ginobili allowed the Spurs to have the last laugh with 95 to 90.

Durant scored a game-high 32 points, and Westbrook also had 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, but Harden's sluggish performance only scored 8 points and 5 assists.

For the Spurs, Parker led the team with 23 points and 7 assists, Duncan had 16 points and 10 rebounds, Ginobili had 15 points and 5 assists, and Blair had 12 points and 6 rebounds.

Tang Tian also got the chance to play again in the second half. He got a chance to score another goal from outside the three-point line. He played for 10 minutes and scored 6 points, 1 rebound and 4 steals on 2 of 2 shots. He played quite efficiently.

The Spurs locker room erupted with laughter after the game.

"Good job, if you play this well again, the old man might let you start." Ginobili put Tang Tian's shoulders on his shoulders and said flirtatiously.

"I'm going to treat the whole team to eat pizza." Tang Tian also responded with sassy words.

At this moment, Tang Tian felt someone touch his head, and when he turned around, it was Duncan, looking at him kindly.

This guy didn't touch Parker enough during the game, so he ran over to touch him!

Hitting the ground running, the Spurs are off to a very good start to the lockout season.

With the joy of winning, the Spurs returned to San Antonio, their second preseason game against the Pistons.

There are four days of rest in the middle, because the team won the game and the atmosphere during the training was very harmonious.

Popovich also seized the time to let Tang Tian and the others adapt to the tactics. After the day's training, Budenholzer took them alone in the office to make up tactics.

In the locker room, Parker, Duncan and Ginobili are three rows in the shower room.

After rushing ahead of schedule, Jefferson suddenly said, "We haven't prepared gifts for the rookies this year, have we?"

When he opened his mouth, there was a burst of whistles from other teammates.

There is an unwritten rule in the NBA, that is, when a rookie arrives on the team, they will be tricked by the old players. The most famous one is Arenas, who soaked all the clothes and shoes of the rookie Andre Blatche in the bathtub , and later even got a bunch of shit inside his sneakers.

Of course, that's just an extreme situation. The general pranks are nothing more than ordering the rookies to buy them donuts or burgers, or asking the rookies to help the old players carry their bags.

Although the Spurs have a better team atmosphere, this kind of thing is inevitable. Parker had carried bags for Duncan and David Robinson at the beginning.

This is already a custom in the NBA, even an experience.

"Let them buy us donuts," Blair said. Donuts are a favorite food for all Americans.

"Yes, it's a great proposal. I want to eat the donuts 'Godfather' bought for me." Ginobili just came out of the wash at this time, and said directly.

His words immediately caused a burst of laughter in the locker room.

"No no, that's too boring. Last year James (Anderson) bought us donuts." Jefferson shook his head and said.

"What proposal do you have?" Ginobili opened his mouth and looked at Jefferson.

"I saw that Tang came to practice by car, how about a cart of popcorn?" Jefferson said.

As soon as he opened his mouth, there was another whistle in the locker room. The popcorn trick is almost every team's favorite.

"No, Richard, that's not fair, Leonard and Joseph don't have a car." Green reminded.

"That's all the more appropriate, he only bought a car in the first year." Jefferson continued.

His words also attracted a burst of echo from his teammates. Many NBA players came from poor families. Tang Tian was easily jealous of buying a car in his first year as a rookie.

"Why don't you carry the bag, so that each of them has a share." Green suggested.

"Danny, that won't work, we've already decided." Jefferson directly rejected Green.

"Popcorn! Popcorn!" The players started booing in the locker room.

Ginobili could only shake his head with a wry smile. It seemed that Tang Tian's new car was about to suffer.

Green and Tang Tian had the best relationship. Jefferson originally wanted him to go, but Green refused. Ginobili also expressed that he was not interested, so Jefferson had to go by himself.

The next day, as soon as Tang Tian went to the locker room to change his training clothes, Jefferson walked towards him.

"Don, there's something wrong with my car. I'm in a hurry. Can you lend me your car?" Jefferson said when he came over.

Tang Tian froze for a moment when he heard this, Jefferson had been very indifferent to him before, why did he suddenly ask him to borrow a car?

In terms of relationships, everyone else on the Spurs is better off than they are.

He glanced at it, only to realize that other teammates were looking at him.

He was a coach in his previous life, so he quickly understood what Jefferson was trying to do. Was he trying to trick a rookie?

When he was coaching, it was not uncommon to see this kind of thing. If you borrow a car, you want to stuff it with popcorn?

In fact, he does not object to the trick. If Green or Ginobili came, he might have given the key even if he knew it. After all, this kind of thing is beneficial to the team atmosphere in a sense, and In his case, the most he could do was drive the car to be cleaned once.

But Jefferson had a bad impression on him before, and he didn't want to give him this face.

"I forgot to refuel my car." Tang Tian replied.

As soon as he said this, there was booing in the locker room, obviously Jefferson's failure was despised by them.

Leonard and Joseph were stunned, they didn't know what happened just now.

Jefferson's face was not very good-looking. He didn't even complete the trick, and he couldn't hold back his face.

"Richard, let them carry their bags." Green said at this moment, standing up.

Jefferson didn't move.

"Okay, Richard, the training will start right away, and the old man will come later." Ginobili also followed suit.

When Jefferson heard Ginobili speak, he sat back a little unhappy.

"What bag?" Joseph asked suspiciously at this time.

"Son, you'll know when the training is over." Ginobili went over and patted him on the shoulder.

The locker room was full of laughter again. Most of them actually didn't care about the method used to trick things, as long as they could do it, they paid attention to the process and sense of ritual.
