The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 178 The Coach's Depression

Some players in the league are strong and can change the trend of the game to a certain extent, but if they are not controlled, they will hurt themselves more than others.

So even if they can score points, it is difficult to get any big contracts.

Their position is generally the sixth man, and many teams have similar existences. Louis Williams on the field and Nick Young this time are all typical.

In the first half, Nick Young's various strikes made the Heat overtake the score.

But during the rotation period in the second half, Nick Young made all kinds of unreasonable hits and became the Lakers' number one killer, which made the Heat break out in a cold sweat.

"See, brother is that good." After another hit, Nick Young was complacent.

Zhang Xiaotian was also a little impressed. He had already defended well when he got the ball just now, but he didn't expect the guy on the opposite side to score with a high difficulty.

You must know that it is already the fourth quarter, and I didn't feel any difficulty in the matchup in the first half.

This kind of nerve knife really cannot be judged by common sense.

When it was the Heat's turn to attack, Zhang Xiaotian seemed to be making an ordinary breakthrough after catching the ball, but he suddenly pushed Nick Young to the side and dunked at the start.

"See, that's why you get less salary. There is an insurmountable gap between you and me." Zhang Xiaotian said deliberately contemptuously when he turned around.

Of course Nick Young was not convinced. When the Lakers came back to attack him, he continued to play singles with the ball. He kept turning around in front of Zhang Xiaotian with the ball, and then leaned back with difficulty.

He thinks of himself as Kobe, but his speed is not as fast as Kobe.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't care about this fake move at all, and blocked it when Nick Yang made a shot.

Things like high difficulty are not something that can be played often, even if it is really Kobe, the hit rate will not be high, let alone Yang Shaoxia who is already stronger.

Another strike, Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni was about to cover his face.

Nick Young is actually not suitable for his tactical arrangement, but the team has fewer players who can attack with the ball, so he has no choice but to reuse him.

But he only gave a few instructions on the field, and did not make any substantive actions.

How could the Heat not seize the opportunity, Zhang Xiaotian and Wade took turns to tear up the opponent's defense, Ray Allen and Norris Cole also got the opportunity to hit a three-pointer from the outside.

Originally, when Nick Young went crazy, the Lakers once overtook the score, but after these few minutes, the Heat not only recovered the score, but also expanded their advantage to double digits.

The Lakers could only choose to suspend and exchange Gasol back to sit in charge.

The Heat also replaced James, who had rested, and Zhang Xiaotian didn't need to show his power anymore. James, who was physically strong, attacked the inside several times in a row, and the Lakers' poor defense suddenly became a mess.

They led the score by more than ten points at once, and the Lakers were also weak. They didn't have the energy to chase points at all, allowing the Heat to easily win the victory.

At 112:95, four of the Heat scored 20+, and Zhang Xiaotian was among them.

The system shows that the task has been completed to 8/10, and victory is in sight, which is much faster than previously expected.

The outside world finally admitted that it was extremely wise for the Heat to win Zhang Xiaotian in the summer.

Many ambitious teams have begun to analyze Zhang Xiaotian and formulate targeted defensive tactics.

The Heat also intend to give him a little more chance.

With the progress of the game, the teams have almost run in, and the combat effectiveness of the new season has been demonstrated.

If you are satisfied with determining the tactical impact target, if you are not satisfied, you are looking for a deal or planning to train newcomers.

The Heat are definitely satisfied with their combat effectiveness, and if there is a good opportunity, they don't mind continuing to reinforce, but they don't have any suitable bargaining chips or salary space, and the main thing is to watch the excitement.

The second opponent in the away game is the Kings, and it is also a team that does not have a good defense.

James showed his power in the first quarter, which was rare, and led the team to a double-digit lead.

But the Kings did not admit defeat, they started chasing points from the rebounds.

Compared with the Lakers' Gasol, Cousins ​​is young and energetic, and no one can handle the Heat inside.

Because Wade chose to rest this time, the Kings flanked James in the second half. After James' shooting percentage dropped, the Kings quickly chased the score back by virtue of their inside advantage.

Spoelstra is in a hurry on the court. It stands to reason that James' being flanked is a great opportunity for Zhang Xiaotian to play, but he is not strong on the offensive end as if he doesn't understand tactics.

Spoelstra specifically paused to explain the problem, Zhang Xiaotian continued to nod off the court, and the game was still the same as before.

Just when the still young coach saw that the opponent had already caught up with the score and was no longer hopeful, Zhang Xiaotian broke out his attack power again.

Spoelstra suddenly felt his heart tighten, this guy must be playing him.

If it weren't for Zhang Xiaotian's serious attitude, as the head coach, he really wanted to lose his temper.

The Heat just lacked a point to hold the ball. After Zhang Xiaotian broke out with "normal" strength, the King's defense had problems.

First of all, Bosh had an opportunity, and then his outside shooting was driven up.

Unable to restrain the Heat's offense, no matter how strong Cousins ​​is on the inside, it is useless. The Heat can shrink the defense.

So after the Heat regained their advantage in the fourth quarter, it was difficult for the Kings to catch up.

Cousins ​​scored three times, all by grabbing offensive rebounds.

With the outside line restricted by the Heat, even if Cousins ​​had the same number of rebounds as the Heat, the Heat still won the game.

Zhang Xiaotian did not continue to score 20+, but his support for James at critical moments is still very important.

When the head coach was interviewed after the game, he also had a lot of compliments, but after returning, he had a conversation with Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian himself is also the same, there is still a big difference between when the skill is not activated and when it is activated.

It’s okay if the defense they face is bad. The King’s overall defense is naturally bad, but his personal defense is not bad. In addition, he has received more attention this time, so he waited until the last quarter to start playing.

"I didn't feel very good at the beginning, but fortunately I worked hard to adjust. It may have been the reason for my better performance in the final quarter. I always felt something was wrong before."

Zhang Xiaotian's attitude is sincere, and Spoelstra has to believe it if he doesn't believe it.

Besides, in the end Zhang Xiaotian still showed his strength to help the team win the game. He could only sigh, "Zhang, I will ask the coaching staff to redesign a training plan for you. You should be able to do better."

After some education, from the team's goals to the players' economic interests, Spoelstra's saliva was exhausted.

Anyway, Zhang Xiaotian had a good attitude and said that he would cooperate actively. Spoelstra only felt that he had hit the cotton with a punch.
