Chapter 253 90 Years of Red Wine From Chateau Ygan (5/5)

Chapter 253 90 Years of Red Wine from Yigan Winery (55)

After Harden scored, Westbrook went straight to his chest and Durant also roared at him.

15 points difference, plus penalty!

Harden's three three-pointers directly changed the entire situation on the court.

His three three-pointers also proved that he can not only play with the ball, play organization, but also play off the ball!

Popovich was forced to play Manu Ginobili and Duncan early.

But tonight Ginobili was obviously overwhelmed by Harden, and the Spurs failed to catch up in the end.

112 to 102, the Thunder finally defeated the Spurs at home, tying the series to 1-2.

Harden scored a game-high 30 points and 7 assists.

Westbrook had 17 points, 11 assists and 6 rebounds, Durant also scored 27 points, and Ibaka had 10 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks.

The four young masters all showed their own style.

And more importantly than winning is that they found a way to beat the Spurs!

As long as the four young players are on the court at the same time, and they keep pushing and counterattacking through defense, they can run the Spurs to death!

Although they are still behind with a score of 1 to 2, the momentum has already turned to the Thunder team.

After the game, the Thunder fans were also extremely excited and had a collective climax.

"This is the Thunder we want to see, we will be the championship!"

"Win the next home game, and let us become the 15th team to comeback 0-2 in the playoffs!"

"I love James Harden, I don't mean to disrespect Ginobili, but Harden beat Ginobili!"

"The back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, and the front wave dies on the beach. This is the NBA. Harden will be a better sixth man than Ginobili!"

...

There are still 3 days before the next game, and Popovich has carried out daily training as usual.

It's just that he stood on the sidelines, frowning all the time.

The performance of the Spurs in the last game is actually not a big problem. The fundamental problem is that they cannot limit the four players at the same time.

Especially Durant and Harden.

After the training, the team members went back to the hotel to rest one after another.

Popovich was still discussing tactics with Budenholzer in the office.

"Don, are you still leaving?"

Leonard was the last one to clean up. Seeing Tang Tian still sitting in the locker room, he couldn't help asking.

"I'll wait for a while, you go first."

Tang Tian didn't say much.

Leonard nodded, put on his schoolbag and left first.

After waiting for a while, Budenholzer also came out, and when he saw Tang Tian, ​​he also asked a few questions with concern.

Tang Tian didn't say much.

After Budenholzer also left, Tang Tian turned around and opened his closet to take out the prepared red wine.

Knock and go in.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Popovich was surprised to see Tang Tian.

At this point, Budenholzer had left, but Tang Tian was still in the arena.

"Old man, I'm here to thank you for helping me pay the fine last time."

Tang Tian said as he walked to Popovich's table, and then took out the prepared red wine from behind him.

"1990, the red wine of Chateau Ygan."

Popovich originally wanted to be polite, but when he heard Tang Tian finish speaking, his words immediately changed.

"real?"

Tang Tian put the red wine on the table, then said with a smile.

"The real deal."

Popovich took a look at the wine bottle, and after confirming that it was real, he opened the lower drawer and took out two glasses.

"It's a good thing to try."

Seeing Popovich's actions, Tang Tian couldn't help laughing.

How can there be the image of a famous handsome man in the usual days, just like a drunkard?

"Where did you get it?"

Popovich said and moved the playbook to the corner of the table.

"Preserved, I also like to drink red wine."

What Tang Tian said is not a lie, it is quite normal for elderly people to drink some red wine.

Popovich nodded while already falling down.

"I wanted to find the 1874 Jefferson wine, but unfortunately I don't know who owns it now."

Tang Tian continued.

Jefferson wine is also produced by Yigan Winery. When it was auctioned in the 19th century, it was already worth 80,000 US dollars, and it is basically priceless now.

"boast."

Popovich only said two words, and then directly suffocated his half glass.

Others drink red wine with one shake, two sniffs and three sips, but he just saved the whole process and drank the red wine like plain water.

Sure enough, a real alcoholic.

"Tart, fruity, and a little sweet, just not that sweet."

Popovich was quick to give his professional assessment.

"After all, the years are not too long."

Tang Tian said.

"It's already very good. I haven't drunk this level of red wine for a long time. Your value is much higher than the 25,000 US dollars I paid you before."

Popovich looked at Tang Tian with satisfaction.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

"It's a pity that there is no such thing as dried fruit. This dry drink is a bit astringent."

Popovich said with a little pity.

At this time, Tang Tian took out another bag of things from the other side as if by magic.

Isn't it the dried fruit that Popovich said in it?

Popovich froze for a moment, then pointed at Tang Tian and laughed.

It's an alcoholic meets an alcoholic.

The two chatted while eating.

Tang Tian's face turned slightly red after drinking most of the bottle of wine, but Popovich was fine.

It's not that Tang Tian can't drink, but that his body, let's not talk about it soon, is so weak against alcohol.

Seeing Tang Tian's reaction, Popovich also put down his wine glass because there was still a match in two days.

"I think you guy must be more than just trying to return my favor. Tell me, what's the matter?"

"When I was at UConn, I was one of Calhoun's assistant coaches. I gave him a lot of tactical advice, including how to defend Derek Williams, including the defensive counterattack against North Carolina, including the final against Butler. University tactical thinking."

Tang Tian said calmly.

Popovich stared at Tang Tian for a while.

Is this guy here to look for him to pretend?

However, he has also watched the game between UConn and North Carolina. At the beginning, he was surprised that Calhoun's stubborn old man suddenly became enlightened.

Unexpectedly, Tang Tian was playing tricks inside.

"So you also want to give me some tactical ideas?"

After all, Popovich has been coaching for more than 20 years, so he immediately heard the meaning behind Tang Tian's words.

Tang Tian nodded.

Popovich couldn't help laughing.

He didn't think that a rookie like Tang Tian could give him any useful tactical advice.

But after drinking Tang Tian's half bottle of wine, it was impossible for him not to give Tang Tian the chance to speak.

He stretched out his hand to signal Tang Tian to continue.

"When we played the Clippers before, we used a lineup in the second quarter, me, Danny, Kawhi three wings, Gamanu and Boris."

Popovich nodded, this three-wing lineup is the key to defeating the Clippers.

"This lineup is most afraid of inside players who have low offensive ability and can pass the ball."

Popovich was already thinking about it when he heard this.

The Thunder don't have such insiders!

"The advantage of the Thunder team against us is defensive counterattack. The three-wing lineup can restrain their counterattack speed, and the Thunder team, let alone support, does not even have players with low offensive capabilities."

Popovich looked up at Tang Tian for a while.

He never thought of it before!

Tang Tian, ​​a rookie, actually said more than he thought...
