Chang Tiancheng slowly pushed forward with the ball, he pressed his center of gravity very low, and looked like he was ready to break through at any time.

But James knows very well in his heart that Chang Tiancheng will never choose to break through to the inside to score two points, he will definitely seek to end the game directly with a three-pointer, and the only point to consider now is whether he wants to shoot this ball himself, or help his teammates find a chance to shoot.

Wembanyama and thick eyebrows tugged to the Lakers' three-point line, ready to make a high-post block with Chang Tiancheng.

At this time, Chang Tiancheng, James, Wembanyama, and Davis were very close, and Chang Tiancheng immediately connected two dribbles behind his back and pulled the distance back.

Seeing this, Wembanyama turned around, and at the same time made a big horizontal move to the left, directly shaking off the defense of the thick eyebrows, and Chang Tian went to the fairway and immediately passed the ball to Wembanyama.

Wembanyama raised his hand to shoot just two seconds into the game.

James and Davis coincidentally chose to pounce on Wembanyama, one of them pounced on the front and the other on the side, not seeking to block Wembanyama's shot directly, but at least to put pressure on him.

But Wembanyama didn't jump, he took advantage of his height and passed the basketball back to Chang Tiancheng from the top of the two's heads.

Chang Tiancheng did not hesitate after receiving the ball, and made a decisive three-point shot.

At the moment when the basketball was out of his hand, Chang Tiancheng's heart felt unprecedented tension, after all, this was the first time he had shot a stunner since he joined the NBA. What's more, after he made a shot, the system did not give him a hint to trigger the marksman, which means that whether his shot can be scored or not depends entirely on his own shooting ability and feel.

The Lakers fans at the scene watched the arc of the basketball and couldn't help but hold their breath.

The counter on the rebound turned red, making a sound that symbolized the end of the game.

The basketball thrown by Chang Tiancheng slowly fell into the Lakers' basket, bringing up a burst of beautiful net flowers.

The goal was scored, and the Spurs took a one-point lead and won the game.

After the game, Davis stood in the middle of the court with his hands on his hips, looking up at the ceiling, and his mood could not be calm for a long time. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he shook his head and walked in Chang Tiancheng's direction.

Chang Tiancheng, who threw the killer ball, didn't look particularly excited, but in fact, his heart was about to jump to his throat.

Davis walked over and saw Chang Tiancheng surrounded by his teammates, holding up in celebration, and laughed from the bottom of his heart: "Chang, you have also grown a lot."

Chang Tiancheng squeezed over from among his teammates and stood in front of Davis: "AD, you played very well today, but I'll take it away first."

"It doesn't matter, it's just a ball, the next time I see you, I'll get it back."

At this moment, James also came over and took the initiative to say hello to Chang Tiancheng. Although he was ruthless to Chang Tiancheng during the competition, after the competition, he was still very happy that this former little brother had found a stage to show himself.

After greeting a few people for a while, Chang Tiancheng returned to the locker room with the team.

For the next few days, the Spurs had no games scheduled. And Chang Tiancheng did not train with the team as before, but stayed alone at home to study the game videos of other teams this season, hoping to learn more about the opponent in this way.

Two days later, the Spurs have a new game to take on Eastern Conference side Chicago Bulls on the road.

But in the list of appearances for this game, there is no figure of Chang Tiancheng and Wembanyama.

Considering that the two have played four games in a row, Popovich waved his hand and decided to let the two rest directly in this game.

And Chang Tiancheng even found out through the news that he was actually resting due to injury when he was packing his luggage and preparing to go to the airport with the team, and the injury report given by the team was... Hips were tense???

Chang Tiancheng, who was watching the news, couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to call Popovich, but found that Popovich had already called first.

"Chang, let me tell you good news. Popovich's voice was filled with a smile that was hard to hide.

Chang Tiancheng sighed: "Coach, it's not going to give me a holiday, right

?" "Hmm, have you already seen the news?" Popovich finally couldn't help it and began to laugh on the other side of the phone, "You were injured after playing a few games last season, so I learned from the pain and decided to let you rest every few games this season." You don't want to train during the break, otherwise it won't make sense for me to let you take a shift. "

But why is even Victor on a rotation?" Chang Tiancheng asked, "He's very healthy now, and he hasn't been injured before."

"We take the same set of measures for the protection of the two of you. Popovich replied in a pretended official tone, "Wembanyama has the same number of vacation days as you." "

Wait, then the two of us will take turns to rest together as long as we take turns to rest, aren't you afraid of being investigated by the alliance for doing this?" Chang Tiancheng continued to ask, he still felt that Popovich was a little too sensitive to injuries.

"Chang, I can understand your feelings, if we don't have the pressure of results this season, it's okay to let the two of you play a few more games. Popovich's tone finally changed from playful to serious, "Seriously, I originally thought that this season our team would focus on training, but I didn't expect you and Wembanyama to get together so quickly, and judging by this momentum, I really think we have a lot of hope for this season."

"So the record in the regular season is even more important, and the home advantage in the playoffs can still bring us a lot of things, right?" Chang Tiancheng's tone was a little excited, since the team wants to produce results this season, then why do they have to rest the two main players in rotation?

"Often, home advantage is important, but if a team has an important player who is injured and can't play, then in the playoffs, it is impossible to win the championship no matter what. "I hope you can understand the reasoning, and if you still can't figure it out, then you can just take it as if it was your boss's order and do it." With that

, Popovich hung up the phone, leaving Chang Tiancheng alone with his luggage in a messy mess at the door of the house.
