On March 21, Beijing time, in the Warriors' home 2-point defeat to the Spurs, the Golden State team was allowed to kill by Johnson in the last 0.3 seconds, and Tang Shen had no chance to complete the three-point counter-kill. In such a battle, the Spurs legendary sixth man Ginobili and Tang Shen on the sidelines of the high-fives embraced a scene, is undoubtedly a lot of emotion, belongs to the inheritance of two generations of "special guards".
The Warriors and Spurs have met many times in recent years, including two playoff encounters in the Kerr era, one in the 2017 Western Conference Finals and once in the first round of the 2018 playoffs, and the Warriors swept the Spurs 4-1 to advance.
Ginobili and Yushin were among the protagonists involved, and now Ginobili has retired, while Yushin has returned after two years of serious injuries. In the current absence of Curry's injury, Tang Shen has become an important candidate to carry the Warriors' offensive banner, and Tang Shen has scored 24 points on 6 three-pointers in this campaign.
In such a battle, Ginobili followed the Spurs on the road, he met with Tang Shen on the sidelines, the two had a friendly high-five hug, and also chatted together, which is also a kind of inheritance between the two generations of quarterbacks. Ginobili is a special quarterback, becoming one of the best sixth-man players in the history of the Spurs and the entire NBA, and Tang Shen is one of the spokespeople for the sharpshooter.
Tang Shen performed well, but missed a three-pointer in the final moment, and Ginobili witnessed the Spurs narrowly defeating the Warriors and was only 2.5 wins away from the 10th Lakers in the West.
In an interview, Ginobili talked about the Splash Brothers combination of Thompson and Curry, "Everybody likes Tang Shen and Curry, they are two good old men. They respect their predecessors and take care of them, and they are always spreading positive energy. ”
"I'm happy to see Tang Shen come back healthy and it's nice to see him play again. Now Curry is injured again, which is very unfortunate. The Warriors have been battling injuries all these years, and if it weren't for injuries, I don't think they would be the way they are today. Healthy Warriors will always be the strongest contenders for the championship, and I wish Tang Shen well and curry a speedy recovery, and I look forward to seeing them play side by side on the court again. ”
