The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 111 Who Can Break the Balance
After Zhang Xiaotian showed his power, the defense that the Warriors worked so hard to build collapsed in an instant.

Ginobili rested, Leonard and Danny Green played, and while maintaining the defensive pressure, they also started playing first and fourth early.

The Spurs took the lead because the Warriors wanted to chase points with one big and four small ones, and the Spurs responded by the way.

Why is it by the way, because Popovich wants to give Zhang Xiaotian more opportunities to hold the ball, so he and Ginobili will stagger the playing time in the last quarter.

Up to now, Popovich can already see some signs of Zhang Xiaotian's outbreak.

It's just that Popovich can't control when he's in good shape, which makes the old man a little uncomfortable, but he won't resist the power he can use.

Draymond Green switched defenses in front of Zhang Xiaotian again. In fact, Barnes is also good defensively and can score on the offensive end, but this guy has no momentum on both ends of the offense and defense, and his presence is relatively weak under the performance of others. Warriors coach Some are worried.

Zhang Xiaotian showed a disdainful smile, which stung Draymond Green.

Just when the opponent was about to go all out, Zhang Xiaotian called a screen, went to the three-point line and hit 2 points.

Draymond Green couldn't be more depressed if he didn't have a good fight with enough energy.

Zhang Xiaotian will not shoot against people like in the first game, but the Warriors don't know it. He broke through with the ball and sent two consecutive assists. Danny Green hit an open three-pointer and Leonard made a successful mid-range shot.

The Warriors panicked again. Zhang Xiaotian came to the state not only to score, but also to activate other people, the most important thing is Leonard.

Leonard's offensive power is above average. Once the defensive pressure is relaxed, he will definitely score points.

This is the truth that Zhang Xiaotian's ability improvement can form a twin star with Leonard. Leonard is still a little bit away from the first-class offensive striker who ignores defense. Zhang Xiaotian exploded to share the defensive pressure on the striker, just to make up for this point. .

Under the Spurs' defense, Curry and Klay Thompson didn't get a chance for several consecutive rounds.

The Warriors Bogut missed a free throw, and Draymond Green also missed a free throw.

For the Spurs, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard teamed up again to score 4 points, and the score gap returned to double digits.

Just now, I had to catch up with great difficulty, but I didn't expect to go back to before liberation.

The Warriors were forced to request a timeout. In order to chase points, Mark Jackson replaced Draymond Green who had just arrived, and replaced Landry.

Draymond Green was gnashing his teeth, and this was his time.

After his teammates came on the field, he couldn't help saying, "Coach, I can guard him."

Mark Jackson knew that the young man was working very hard, so he comforted him: "I believe in you, but now the team needs to attack."

On the court, Zhang Xiaotian misplaced Curry and caused a foul. Draymond Green looked complicated.

He actually admires Zhang Xiaotian very much. He doesn’t know how much effort he has to put in from the loss of the draft to the important rotation of the team. He only knows that he is a second-round pick. In order to gain a foothold in the league, he works harder than others and sweats twice as much. Just twice as much.

He is willing to do any dirty work, and is willing to work hard to improve the offense. Trash talk is just a means. As long as he can help the team, even a little bit, he will do it with all his strength.

But he can only sit on the sidelines, and that sense of powerlessness will make him collapse.

Draymond Green's eyes were bloodshot, he didn't want to be a spectator, and he wanted to have the chance to dominate the outcome like Zhang Xiaotian did.

No, not just an important rotation, he has to be a starter, he has to beat the league's powerful opponents one by one, he has to be an All-Star, he is no worse than anyone, he has to be the best.

The goal in his heart made him temporarily forget the unhappiness in front of him, but it didn't help the game on the court.

Curry did not regain his touch. Klay Thompson had just stopped the bleeding with a three-pointer, and Ginobili, who had just been replaced, made a mid-range shot and a steal and sent the Warriors to hell.

Depressed, Curry played a small temper and took the initiative to foul Parker.

The head coach replaced Curry, and the game entered the last minute. There was still a double-digit gap, and the Warriors chose to give up.

104:90, the Spurs lead 2:1 in the second round of the playoffs.

In this game, Parker and Duncan set the tone for victory at the beginning, and Zhang Xiaotian was the icing on the cake.

It seemed that as the game progressed, the young man's momentum ran out, and the old guy had the advantage again.

On the same day, the Heat beat the Bulls again, and the two teams were still angry. The Bulls were injured, and those who were sent off were sent off. At the end of the game, there were no players who could even play for a few minutes.

In the fourth quarter, James finally showed his power and led the team to defeat the opponent in a wave.

Put together like this, many fans also speculated whether it would be cheaper for the teams behind.

However, the Big Three of the Heat are also in their prime, so they are not afraid of consumption.

On May 5, in the Thunder's away game against the Grizzlies, although Durant was full of confidence in an interview before the game, the Grizzlies' defense made him extremely uncomfortable.

Tony Allen and Prince were consumed continuously, and Durant was still tired in the end.

The Grizzlies rely on defense to stabilize their output, and they made another victory at 87:81. It is so willful to have an inside line.

The Pacers' home court, the Knicks also fell into a high-intensity defense.

No one but Anthony can score, and Stoudemire's risky comeback is useless.

Roy Hibbert rarely played 24+12. He grabbed 8 frontcourt baskets, Paul George contributed 5 steals, and the Pacers allowed the Knicks to only score 71 points.

In the same way as the Grizzlies, they only scored 82 points, but it was enough.

In fact, the Grizzlies are still the Thunder, and the Spurs have no time to pay attention to them for the time being. The Warriors are not easy to deal with.

After playing the game, they already have some experience in defending the Warriors' perimeter, and they have performed very well in training.

But this is only in their normal situation, and it will definitely not work if the Splash Brothers go crazy.

The fourth game came as scheduled. After Splitter came back, the Spurs resumed the starting lineup in the late regular season, while the Warriors were still tossing. This time they chose Landry to start.

The Spurs did not continue to get the chance to take the lead in the offense. Curry and Klay Thompson had an exquisite cooperation in the opening game. The latter took the lead for the team and excited the home crowd.

Zhang Xiaotian's fans are also watching the live broadcast. Supporting Zhang Xiaotian is a must, but the games between the two teams are really good, and they often make their little hearts thump.

At the beginning, the two young players in the Warriors' backcourt felt good, but the Spurs' defense also played out, not only to interfere with shooting, but to try not to give them two opportunities to shoot.

In this case, the Warriors also made changes, and Barnes, who had been weak before, finally stood up.
