The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 119

Facing the engrossed Tony Allen, Zhang Xiaotian certainly wouldn't act recklessly.

Durant was also very depressed by the opponent's defense before, and Zhang Xiaotian's offensive talent was far inferior to Durant.

He called a screen, not a big guy, but Matt Bonner, and Matt Bonner pulled out after the screen is also one of the Spurs' tactics.

As soon as the cover came up, Zhang Xiaotian quickly bypassed it, and his timing was very good, but Tony Allen seemed to have expected the position of the cover, squeezed over with great flexibility, and kept up with Zhang Xiaotian's pace.

Zhang Xiaotian had expected this situation a long time ago. He had seen Tony Allen's defensive strength in the last game, and Matt Bonner's screen quality was not as solid as Duncan's.

But even if Tony Allen reacted quickly enough, he was still a little slower than Zhang Xiaotian, and Matt Bonner standing there with more than 200 kilograms is not polite.

It is this trace, which is an opportunity for Zhang Xiaotian who is well prepared.

As soon as he was short, he rushed in. This choice was not good. The Grizzly's internal line was impregnable, and he might be blocked if he rushed in.

But Tony Allen has followed up, and he won't let him rush in at all.

There was an imperceptible smile in Zhang Xiaotian's eyes, this is what he hoped for.

Bang, there was a fierce physical confrontation between Zhang Xiaotian and Tony Allen, Zhang Xiaotian had already started it, even Tony Allen had muscle bumps all over his body, he was pretending enough.

And Zhang Xiaotian turned around and pulled it up with the help of the force of the impact.

The jump was not very high, but it was enough. Tony Allen can only raise his arms symbolically now.

Zhang Xiaotian stared at the basket, his eyes were firm and decisive, and he made a hit. The Spurs took the lead again 84:82.

Tony Allen was extremely annoyed by this one, he passed by Zhang Xiaotian and said viciously: "Little guy, you won't have any chance to make a move from now on."

Zhang Xiaotian retorted without hesitation, "Really, I can give you a chance to make a shot, can you hit it?"

The answer is that Tony Allen didn't make a shot. He is not an impulsive young man. There are too many cases of sparring with others on the court, which is not a problem at all.

And Zhang Xiaotian was not in charge of defending Tony Allen. Randolph was flanked when he caught the ball. Mike Conley had to do it himself. This time he missed.

During the Spurs' offense, Parker passed to Duncan, and the Grizzlies also chose to attack. The difference is that Ginobili caught the ball and hit it from the outside. The Spurs led by 4 points, and the Grizzlies requested a timeout.

The Spurs quickly replaced Leonard and Splitter to defend, while Parker and Matt Bonner went down to rest.

But Conley's pick-and-roll with Gasol was very successful this time, and the latter hit two points.

The Spurs still had a timeout, and another one was called immediately, and Parker and Matt Bonner were replaced.

Tony Allen stared at Zhang Xiaotian, but Manu Ginobili fouled Quincy Pondexter.

This is the helplessness of the Grizzlies. Originally, Tony Allen could stare at Ginobili, but because of Zhang Xiaotian's existence, they were helpless in defense.

And their offense fell into singles after no chance. Fortunately, Tony Allen forced Ginobili to cause a foul, but unfortunately he only made one of two free throws.

With a gap of 3 points, the defense of both sides became tighter. After each miss, the game has come to the last moment.

The Spurs controlled the clock, and with 10 seconds left in the shot clock, it passed to Zhang Xiaotian, who was flanked by Tony Allen.

Zhang Xiaotian leaned against Tony Allen, turned around and leaned back after trying hard.

He seldom uses this kind of high difficulty, but now there is no problem, because the game time has entered the last 24 seconds, which is already the period when Mr. Key's skills are activated.

The basketball went into the basket and hit a two-pointer, and the Grizzlies' heart was instantly cold.

They could only ask for a timeout again and put on four shooters for a try. The Spurs were not polite, and they replaced Danny Green, Leonard and Splitter to form the strongest defensive lineup.

Conley missed a strong three-pointer and the Spurs protected the rebound. The game can be said to be over.

Although he chooses to actively foul, it is just an inertial action, and there is simply not enough time.

Of course, unless it is the kind of miracle that can be counted in NBA history, the Spurs will not give the opponent this opportunity.

Duncan made two free throws and the Grizzlies hit 2 points at the last moment. The final score was 89:85.

The Spurs won the match point and led 3:0. This time they are not going to give the Grizzlies any chance.

The third game of the Western Conference Finals came to the last moment, but the East side was completely different from the previous two games. The Pacers who returned home were crushed by the Heat.

In the previous two games, the Pacers took advantage of the inside line to fight the Heat very well. Before this game, Bosh made harsh words, and he did it.

Although the defense is still average, but the offensive end Bosh hardened from the beginning.

That's right, in Game 70 of the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat showed a strong offensive power, leading by 14 points with [-] points in the half quarter.

When the defense was brought up in the second half, the Pacers failed to turn over the entire game.

Talking harshly is not something that only people who have lost can do.

Duncan also did it, and the idiot still holds a grudge, so he said to the reporter righteously: "There is no doubt that the team's goal is to end this series in Memphis."

"We know the opponents are not going to give up but we have to beat them, we know what we're here for and it has to end as soon as possible."

Bosh said that we must have a sense of urgency and fight to the death, which is less powerful than Duncan's sweeping declaration.

Zhang Xiaotian also said in an interview: "The team's goal from the beginning of the season is the championship. No matter who the opponent is, I will help the team win."

This is not bragging, this is confidence, Zhang Xiaotian is not a humble person, who plays competitive sports, who is not competitive.

Compared with the confidence of the Spurs, the Grizzlies now don't even have the idea of ​​talking.

They also said harshly before that they wanted to win the championship, but if they were swept away now, their faces would hurt.

There are also rumors that the Spurs are setting off smoke bombs. They plan to return to the home court and win the opponent, and also give the Grizzlies a little face.

Whoever believes this is stupid, Popovich has repeatedly emphasized not to be sloppy in training.

The Grizzlies can afford to procrastinate, and the old guys of the Spurs may cause a decline in combat effectiveness if they procrastinate. It is only serious to deal with their opponents quickly, and then rest for a few more days to relax and wait for work.

In this atmosphere, on May 5, the Spurs went to Memphis again.

The starting lineups of the two sides remain unchanged, but the atmosphere is a bit depressing. Whether it is the Spurs sweeping or the Grizzlies continuing their lives, it is useless to talk about this kind of thing, only to see the truth on the court.

With a whistle, the two sides began to fight.

The game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies always starts with defense, steals, blocks, strikes, and finally when one side starts to score, they just try to see it.
