The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 103 The Right Way

The team is too strong, Zhang Xiaotian is happy but also a little embarrassed. If there is no chance to perform in the playoffs, the chances of getting a good contract will be lower.

But he also thinks about it when he is bored, the Spurs will definitely encounter tough bones if they continue to advance in the playoffs.

All he has to do is to focus on the game and seize the opportunity, and at the same time do a good job in training to avoid injury.

In the game on the 27th, the Nets fought hard and lost to the Bulls in three overtimes. The Bulls took the match point, but the team that the new owner Prokhorov spent a lot of money to build was struggling.

Therefore, having money in the league does not necessarily mean success. The Spurs don't spend much money, but the results are good.

The same is true for the Thunder. To save money, Harden can also be sent away, which is more generous than the Spurs. The Spurs generally only send away role players who need a salary increase, and GDP still gives money.

In the game between the Grizzlies and the Clippers, the black and white bears continued to dominate the inside line. The Clippers couldn't even grab a rebound.

The Clippers' lineup is definitely better, and the Grizzlies' main lineup is good, but they don't even have a decent bench player.

Not only is Griffin weak at critical moments, Paul always feels that he doesn't have the prestige of the first point guard in the playoffs, and he doesn't play as well as Mike Conley in many cases.

The performance of players at critical moments is often a matter of metaphysics. If Zhang Xiaotian can perform as well at critical moments in the playoffs as in the regular season, everyone will not think there is anything wrong. The goddess of luck is as unpredictable as a little girl anyway. .

Returning to the home court, the Eagles finally pulled back a victory, relying on Al Horford's explosive performance.

Scoring, offensive boards, blocks, and steals are omnipotent. This situation will not happen many times. Whether they can seize the opportunity depends on how far the Eagles can do it.

The victory was established in the first half of this game. The Pacers were caught off guard. Their key is to defend Paul George. If they don't get it, they have little hope.

Rockets fans can be said to be full of expectations for the game between the Rockets and the Thunder on the same day.

Because Westbrook collided with Beverly in the last game, he has been reimbursed for the season of surgery, which will definitely become a variable in the game.

It's just that without Westbrook, Durant was even more unstoppable, scoring a large double-double with 41 points and 14 rebounds, abruptly helping the team get the match point.

For the Rockets, Harden also performed well and scored 30 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists. Unfortunately, he made repeated mistakes at critical moments. Obviously, he needs more training to become a strong leader.

Jeremy Lin showed no performance when he was injured, and his fans were also very depressed. Some fans even threw themselves into Heizi's arms in disappointment, and started a fierce scolding battle with his loyal fans on the Internet.

Zhang Xiaotian was sweating a little when he saw it. Fortunately, he didn't need to bear the pressure of Jeremy Lin.

But if he also gets a good contract, he will definitely face all this. Apart from working hard to improve his own strength, there is really no other way.

The fourth game between the Spurs and the Lakers started on April 4. The Lakers were full of injuries. Before the start, there was news that Artest would not play. They had completely lost their fighting spirit.

Sure enough, at the start of the game, Howard, who still had fighting spirit before, also acted timidly, while the Spurs' momentum was like a rainbow, and the suspense was lost at halftime.

The fans were extremely upset, saying that this game was a college student beating a primary school student.

13 Spurs players got the chance to play again, including McGrady. Unfortunately, the former All-Star, who still has many fans, played extremely awkwardly and failed to score.

Logically speaking, McGrady has only been out of the NBA for a year, and he has maintained a certain state on the other side of the ocean. He shouldn't be playing like a beginner.

Zhang Xiaotian felt that this buddy might have a problem with his mentality. If the Spurs gave him more opportunities and valued him, he might play better. Now it's just garbage time for him to play, and he is not used to being a former man of the hour.

McGrady was not happy, and Zhang Xiaotian was actually not happy either. Everyone had a chance to play, but he basically spent the fourth quarter on the bench.

The playoff data has shrunk compared to the regular season. There are already many blind sunspots scolding him for parallel imports. Come on, he is a loser, does he have anything to do with parallel imports?

Sweeping the Lakers 4:0, the Spurs were unambiguous.

On the same day, the Heat also swept the Bucks 4:0, still in the absence of general Wade.

Strength is strength, so what if you let someone go? Didn't Lei Ting let someone go?

The game between the Knicks and the Celtics, this time the Celtics won. Although Anthony still had no solution, Pierce finally broke out and refused to sweep.

Well, at the end of overtime, veteran Jason Terry scored 9 points to end the game.

Jason Terry is also a key player. Some fans were upset because he killed the Rockets in the playoffs.

The Warriors won the match point on the same day, leading the Nuggets 3:1.

Curry scored the highest points in the game, making as many three-pointers alone as the Nuggets.

There used to be so-called experts who believed that players like Curry would have trouble in the playoffs, and the tight defensive playoffs would not give him an easy shot. As a result, he became even more powerful in the playoffs.

This incident shows that the difference between an expert and a fart lies in whether the player has the strength and whether he can withstand the pressure.

After sweeping the opponent, the Spurs can now relax and wait for the next opponent to appear.

Popovich is very satisfied, and the Spurs need time to rest. As long as the team's big players have a good rest, they will not be afraid of any opponent they encounter.

And role players like Zhang Xiaotian couldn't relax for a moment.

They don't lack physical strength now. What they need is a stage for performance. It is their choice to seize the time without games and improve themselves through training.

So when the team's training plan was relatively relaxed, Zhang Xiaotian chose to practice extra.

The second day after sweeping the Lakers, the Rockets relied on Parsons' outburst to finally pull back a game without being swept by the Thunder.

Zhang Xiaotian watched the live broadcast of the game. He scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists. Parsons played so well. He was envious. This is the performance he expected to achieve.

"It's going to change everything, we know now, beating the Thunder."

Seeing Parsons flinching in front of the reporters, Zhang Xiaotian had the urge to blow this guy up.

Zhang Xiaotian is still a little anxious to add another guy who performed well during his rookie period.

However, he quickly calmed down. His pursuit is different from those of the heaven's favored ones. Be yourself, improve your strength step by step, and he will eventually be even more dazzling.

His current goal is not to score many points, but to help the team win the championship. That is the correct way for him to implement his personal value.
