The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 13 Confused

At the end of the first half, the Spurs trailed by 41 point 42:1.

Jacques Vaughan unexpectedly did not express dissatisfaction, nor did he explain tactics, but encouraged everyone with a smile on his face, allowing them to play to their due level and win the game.

During the intermission, his muscles relaxed a bit, and at the beginning of the second half, Zhang Xiaotian felt a little tired.

In the past, he always used his body to fight and consume opponents, but he did not expect to encounter the same thing today.

During this period of time, the string on his body was too tense, and finally he couldn't hold it anymore.

Zhang Xiaotian gritted his teeth and insisted, he did not show timidity in the confrontation, he must not fall down early in the last match.

Jay Crowder obviously had better physical strength. He felt Zhang Xiaotian's physical strength drop, and grinned, "Boy, I won."

Jae Crowder is very confident in his body, and Zhang Xiaotian confronted him firmly, playing in his arms.

As soon as he caught the ball, he leaned on his body, squeezed Zhang Xiaotian away, pulled it up and shot.

Just as he shot, a hand desperately blocked his shooting line, and the shot hit the iron.

Jay Crowder frowned, he had already squeezed Zhang Xiaotian away, and the physical strength of the opponent in front of him had dropped significantly, why could he still interfere with him.

Isn't it just a summer league, this yellow-skinned boy is working too hard.

Jacques Vaughn also saw Zhang Xiaotian's physical problems, and quickly started to rotate.

The Mavericks still let Jae Crowder stay on the court, and Jay Michael Green, who came off the bench, is not Jae Crowder's opponent at all.

The Mavericks took the opportunity to master the moves on the court and began to open the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs had trailed by 9 points.

"Coach, let me go. I've rested. Today is the last game of the summer league. I don't want to lose."

Zhang Xiaotian took the initiative to ask again, and Jacques Vaughan agreed with a smile when he saw his strong fighting spirit.

After resting for 5 minutes and adding a glass of sports drink, Zhang Xiaotian felt reborn.

The key is the fourth quarter, he has absolute confidence.

The Mavericks just let Jae Crowder rest. Although his tone was loud on the court, his consumption was not small. No one can maintain good physical strength despite constant physical confrontation.

After Zhang Xiaotian came on the court, he contributed a steal and then hit a three-pointer. Jae Crowder couldn't sit still immediately. It took three quarters of entanglement with Zhang Xiaotian before the team could gain a score advantage. He didn't want to be burned in the fourth quarter.

The Mavericks didn't let him play immediately. In their coach's opinion, they should win this game. Jae Crowder can limit Zhang Xiaotian, but Dominic Jones and Bernard James also have advantages in the matchup.

In the next offense, Dominic Jones broke through and won two free throws. Mavericks coach Terry Stotts folded his arms and looked calm. He is going to be the head coach of the Trail Blazers soon. Perfect ending.

However, the defense of the Mavericks' substitute Chris Douglas-Roberts at the 4rd position was like air in front of Zhang Xiaotian. After a few rounds, their lead was only [-] points, and the Mavericks were forced to suspend and replace with the entire main lineup. .

Jae Crowder was gearing up to return to the court again. He said to Zhang Xiaotian viciously: "Boy, I'm coming up, and your clumsy performance is over."

"Then start your clumsy performance, and if you have the ability, you can fight alone." Zhang Xiaotian responded fiercely.

Jae-Claude showed his white teeth, "I won't be fooled, what I want is victory."

Don't look at his vicious look, in fact, he is very calm now, his offensive methods are not very rich, so it doesn't matter if he can beat Zhang Xiaotian by one or two, what he needs is victory in the game.

He wants the team to see his strengths, and he wants to gain a firm foothold in the NBA.

Jae Crowder is the most worthy opponent Zhang Xiaotian has encountered in the summer league, but now it is the fourth quarter, he can only say sorry, he will win.

Jae Crowder passed the ball, and Dominic Jones caught the ball and passed the opposing Spurs player, holding the ball and killing it inside.

Dominic Jones' breakthrough is extremely tough, but he usually goes to the inside for a layup or a foul.

After Zhang Xiaotian's reaction improved, he immediately retracted along with the team's defense.

With a clean cap, Dominic Jones never expected that the help defense would come so quickly.

When it was the Spurs' turn to attack, Zhang Xiaotian took the initiative to provoke, "You didn't dare to single out just now, I am not afraid, I have seen your strength clearly, I will kick your ass."

Jay-Claude was furious immediately, obviously he had the upper hand, yet the other party dared to be so arrogant.

Zhang Xiaotian took a tentative step after catching the ball, and then made a breakthrough to the right. Jae-Crowder was very surprised. He didn't understand why Zhang Xiaotian was faster than the first quarter. He tried to keep up with Zhang Xiaotian's pace, but Zhang Xiaotian sent the ball to Pulling back, Jae-Crowder was almost shaken.

Zhang Xiaotian pulled the ball back and raised his hand as a fake shot. Jae Crowder's center of gravity was a little unstable at this time, but he still rushed over with his strong coordination ability.

The corner of Zhang Xiaotian's mouth curled up, leaning on the opponent's jumping body to throw the ball, the referee's whistle sounded immediately.

Jae Crowder's face became a little ugly, but Zhang Xiaotian was already on the free throw line and made the free throw.

Impossible, why does this guy feel a little stronger, he must have taken a rest and his body is a little cold.

To increase physical confrontation, that yellow-skinned boy must not be his opponent.

During the Mavericks' offense, Zhang Xiaotian's defense did not give the opponent any chance. Jae Crowder was very upset and passed the ball inside.

Although Bernard James scored, Jae Crowder was still holding his breath.

The Spurs' offensive Zhang Xiaotian got the ball again, and this time he hit Jae Crowder with his back at 45 degrees.

This was simply insulting, the other party actually wanted to back him up and beat him up, the point was that he really couldn't stand it, Jae-Claude couldn't take it anymore, he yelled and rushed forward desperately.

Beep, the referee's whistle sounded again, and Jae Crowder was stunned.

There was only one ball left in the gap, and Jae-Crowder's mentality changed completely. He had to get back his face.

He wanted to go to the ball to face Zhang Xiaotian's defense and forcibly break through, how could he not stand still? Could it be that the opponent didn't try his best before, it was impossible, Jae Crowder broke down and forcibly pulled up.

Of course, the ball was a strike, Zhang Xiaotian turned around, jumped up, received the rebound and launched a counterattack.

Jae-Crowder lost his mind and chased back. Zhang Xiaotian had a change in rhythm while he was marching, and Jae-Crowder rushed over his head and pulled it subconsciously.

The referee's whistle blew again, and Jae Crowder was a little more sober, what the hell was he doing.
