Chapter 5 5. First start in career

After winning the Warriors at home, the Lakers team immediately put into intense training!
From the end of the regular season, the Lakers still have 2 games to play, and the current ranking of the entire Western Conference is basically clear.

The Warriors, who just lost to the Lakers yesterday, have secured the sixth place in the Western Conference!
The remaining 2 playoff spots are produced by the Rockets, the Jazz, and the Lakers. The current record of the 3 teams is 3 wins and 43 losses. If you are a little careless, you may not know which one The team will fall behind!

So the remaining 2 games are still very important for the Lakers, which will determine whether they can successfully catch the last train of the playoffs!
The current situation is quite severe for the Lakers!
So for Tang De, his pressure is not insignificant. He has just gained the trust of the team coach, and he wants to have more opportunities to perform and prove himself!

But if the Lakers don't even make the playoffs, then at least he has no chance this season.

But the good news is that Tang De knows that in tomorrow's game against the Spurs, Popovich will definitely put water on the Lakers. Maybe Popovich will directly rest the main players on a large scale!

The Spurs are now in second place in the Western Conference, only one game away from the top Thunder in the Western Conference.

According to Popovich's treacherous and cunning level, he doesn't want to fight for the No. [-] position in the Western Conference now, and it is also difficult for him to fight for it. After all, the current momentum of the Thunder is too fierce!

And if the Spurs finally lock in the No. 2 position in the Western Conference, the opponent Popovich wants to face the most is the Lakers, because the Lakers without Kobe are much easier to deal with!

Compared with the Lakers, the Jazz's jellyfish-like team and the Rockets with Harden and Jeremy Lin are much more difficult to deal with!
Popovich's greatness is not only reflected in his tactical training, but what is even more troublesome is that this old guy can always complete various tricks that are beneficial to the team!

In many cases, Popovich's operations are beyond people's understanding.

This is why he is so legendary!

Under his leadership, the Spurs have always been an evergreen team in the NBA!

……

……

"Tang, I plan to put you in the starting lineup for tomorrow's game! You prepare well for tomorrow's game, I believe you can perform well!"

D'Antoni's eyes were full of encouragement.

This news really surprised Tang De. He knew that D'Antoni had more trust in him now, but what he didn't expect was that he would be directly arranged to start!

This will be the first start of his NBA career!
After walking out of D'Antoni's office, Tang De danced happily!

The starting small forward of the Lakers, this is his dream!

After informing Tang De, D'Antoni also disclosed the news that Tang De will play the starting line-up to the media!

As soon as the media got the news, all kinds of reports emerged one after another, especially the domestic media in China, they were all excited about it!
Various reports have created momentum for Tang De!

Chinese people are too eager to have a Chinese player play in the NBA!

And D'Antoni, who saw these situations, is sitting in the office at the moment, stroking his mustache comfortably, tasting the freshly ground coffee in his hand with a red face...

After calming down the excitement in his heart, Tang De continued to train crazily in the arena!
The black training vest, because of sweat, was tightly attached to Tang De's upper body, bringing out Tang De's perfect muscle lines!
"Tomorrow night's game, I must seize this hard-won opportunity!"

For tomorrow night's game, Tang De spent all his remaining points!
He exchanged 2000 points for a 15-day experience card of the skill "Ray Allen's Projection"!
He also wanted to redeem Curry's, but the points are still a little short.

The 2000 points became 0 in an instant, and Tang De felt a pain in the flesh!
But when he thought about his good performance tomorrow night, Tang De felt that everything was worth it.

After all, if the points are gone, you can earn more, but the chance to start the game is fleeting!

The moment Tang De acquired this skill, all the relevant information about Ray Allen's shooting skills swept through his mind.

Tang De also tried the results specifically, and Tang De took 50 open three-point shots and hit a terrible 48 goals, with a hit rate of almost [-]%.

Tang De even felt that his current muscle memory had changed. Whether it was shooting posture or the trajectory of the ball, it was very similar to Ray Allen!
……

On the evening of April 4th, the Lakers vs. Spurs game started on time!
TNT broadcast the game live, and domestic sports channels were also the first to broadcast the game!
Tang De confirmed his guess from the starting list given in advance on TNT's big screen!

"Zhuge Weiqi" played a big game, and directly took a break from "GDP"!
This old man is really courageous, maybe he will be fined by the league again, but it doesn't matter, this kind of thing is too normal for the Spurs.

TNT's four major commentators gathered to call for this game!

"Los Angeles is really good, it can be broadcast live across the United States at any time!"

Tang De, who was warming up before the game, couldn't help sighing in his heart.

Of course, there is no doubt about this point. The appeal of Los Angeles is not a joke, otherwise there would not be so many players who would rather cut their salaries and come to the Lakers to play!

Before the game even started, O'Neill and Barkley started to tease each other.

"I heard that Mike arranged that Chinese boy named Tang into the starting lineup tonight, but I don't think he is up to the job!" Big Mouth Barkley was obviously disdainful!

"Why, Charles, do you want to kiss a donkey's ass again?"

O'Neal slammed Barkley "viciously"!
The effect was surprisingly good, and Barkley was speechless in one sentence!

"Hahaha……"

Kenny Smith and Amy Johnson finally couldn't hold back their laughter...

"Damn Shaq, stop it! The game is about to start!"

Barkley glared at O'Neill in embarrassment!
"Everyone in the audience, let's switch to the scene, and the game will start immediately!"

The commentator of Penguin Sports said!

The two people in China who are in charge of commentating this game are Wang Meng and Yang Yi!

These two people are still a bit dry, and they are still somewhat capable of analyzing the game.

With the whistle of the referee, the game officially begins!
The Spurs' starting lineup tonight: Gary Neal, Danny Green, Leonard, Diaw, Splitter!
The Lakers are: Blake, Meeks, Downe, Gasol, Howard!
With the opening jump ball, Howard won the first wave of offensive possession with the momentum of crushing Splitter!
Due to Duncan's rotation, the Spurs' inside strength can be said to be directly lowered by a notch!
Howard is also very aware of this, so as soon as the game started, Howard played extremely excitedly.

Howard really wanted to win his breath. He had to prove to the fans in Los Angeles: I can do it, and I am still the league's number one center!

　The "Ball" collection...

　　"Ball" recommendation ticket...

　　Roll all kinds of "balls" all over the floor!
