Chapter 198
Zhang Xiaotian likes to stand up at critical moments. This kind of pressure and sense of accomplishment is very enjoyable.

There may be gaps if the transmission continues, but Zhang Xiaotian planned to end the attack by himself from the beginning.

He didn't shoot blindly either. Darren Collison, who came in rotation, wasn't tall enough or heavy enough to interfere with him at all.

So he squeezes people out of the way first, and then he shoots outside the three-point line.

Darren Collison was knocked out by him for more than one meter. There was no problem with the side body contact and reasonable collision.

Basketball is a sport that requires the body. Zhang Xiaotian was not affected in any way. After the pull-up, the three-pointer went into the net, 7 points, and the psychological pressure on the opponent from the expansion of the lead was completely different.

The Clippers followed up with an offensive rebound, which caused another foul.

This Zhang Xiaotian really has no choice. Now that there are a lot of big guys inside, he can't squeeze in at all.

One of two free throws, good job, this foul is worth it.

Foul if you can't grab it, and would rather let the opponent make a free throw. This is also the Heat's tactic.

Now they have committed two five crimes and two four crimes. Anyway, time is running out, so they have to persevere to the end no matter what.

It was the Heat's turn to attack again, and they still let James attack with the ball.

Barnes' defense is very hard, but he is not young, and his strength is not James' opponent at all, so how could he be able to stop it.

The Clippers had no choice but to attack, this time James directly awarded Zhang Xiaotian, and Zhang Xiaotian hit two points steadily.

The lead has become 8 points, and the game has become more and more stable.

The advantage of the Clippers is inside. Not to mention that their free throws are only average, even if they can score two points once, it is very difficult to chase points at this time.

The point is, they can't limit the Heat's offense.

Do you want to strengthen the defense of the outside line with an inside line? That is self-defeating martial arts. This is the case with the Pistons before. The Clippers will definitely not do it, but they can't prevent it.

Griffin hit, Jordan hit, but the Heat James hit another three-pointer.

The Clippers feel tired because the time has entered the last minute.

At this time, they can only fight for three points. Of course, the Heat understand that the opponent has no way out.

Now their defensive tactics are just one sentence, strengthening the blockade of the three-point line.

Crawford didn't get a chance at all. He only rested for one minute in the whole game, and he was too tired now. Under Zhang Xiaotian's close defense, he almost knelt down.

In the end, Griffin came out and hit a three-pointer. Griffin was also ruthless in this game, and he had already scored 40+, but the game had to kneel, and there were only statistics left.

Hit a three-pointer, but time was running out, the Clippers adopted foul tactics, James made two free throws, and the game suddenly lost suspense.

117:110, the Heat lost more than 43 rebounds, but they gained a victory, making Griffin's 15+6+15 an empty cut. Zhang Xiaotian's 3 points and [-] rebounds are also flattering.

The All-Stars are getting closer, but the Heat's schedule during this period is not very good.

Since playing the Clippers, the Heat have played away games in the West all the way, and they have to play back-to-back.

The Pacers are still closely following, and the Heat must ensure performance and prevent players from getting injured.

Give up some difficult games like the Spurs to let the main players rest, the Heat still don't have such a thick skin, and the league is second only to that one.

The key is that the Spurs can hardly make mistakes in games that they can win, and they can't accept it.

Yang Feiyu was already working on the other side of the ocean, and she had to deal with a lot of things when she was putting on airs, so she couldn't help but start to deal with it before the first month was over.

It is certain to complain, but after the last entrepreneurial failure, this guy has matured a lot.

This time, I was fully prepared and did a decent job.

On February 2, the Heat came to Utah again.

The current Jazz is rebuilding, but it is a standard fishy team.

But the Heat have a bad problem. When facing a big team, they often use their martial arts.

In fact, it is also because the Heat's tactical system relies heavily on stars. Facing teams with average strength, the head coach still wants a few giants to take a break, and often gives people opportunities.

Zhang Xiaotian's defensive task today is still quite heavy. He has to defend the Jazz's new young core Gordon Hayward.

Although Hayward is a white striker, he has a very tough style on the court.

Zhang Xiaotian likes it very much, and plans to have a hard fight with the other party.

The game started normally, and Bosh also scored first for the Heat.

It's just that James is a bit hard today, Marvin Williams is still very experienced in defense, and the Jazz's Derrick Favors' defensive ability is not bad, James is a bit uncomfortable playing.

The Jazz have always been difficult to play at home, even if their current record is very bad.

But what made the Heat feel a little headache was that the opponent felt very good today. In the middle of the first quarter, several Jazz players suddenly hit three-pointers in a row.

All four of them can shoot, and if they don't hit, that's Hayward.

Zhang Xiaotian's defense may not be the strongest, but his attitude is good enough.

From the beginning of the game, he let Hayward fall into endless physical confrontation, which made the opponent very uncomfortable.

The Jazz's offensive explosion was mainly Marvin Williams, which the Heat didn't notice.

In addition, Alec Burks and Enes Kanter on the Jazz's bench are both capable on the offensive end. During the rotation period, the Heat took it lightly for a while and were led by the Jazz to double digits.

Seeing the change in score, the Heat became vigilant.

After the main force returned to the field, they strengthened their defense and played more aggressively on the offensive end.

The big three showed their power together and quickly caught up with the score again.

The Jazz actually don't have many offensive methods. If the Heat defend hard, the opponent will have no chance.

This is what Zhang Xiaotian did best. He also felt competitive when he met this kind of young core, and Hayward was entangled by him.

However, there are also reasons why Hayward is a little out of shape. After being interfered with a few shots, Hayward also started to play for his teammates.

Hayward is actually a very comprehensive striker, if not compared with James.

It is very difficult to completely restrict him, but Zhang Xiaotian enjoys this kind of confrontation very much.

In the first half, the Heat finally narrowed the score gap to 2 points. After entering the locker room, Spoelstra also analyzed the situation of the Jazz in detail.

With the current Jazz, it should not be difficult for the Heat to lock them up. They must not capsize in the gutter.

At the beginning of the second half, the Heat further strengthened their defense.

The Jazz also made the same choice to strengthen their defensive targeting. They flanked James but let him shoot.

This is what many teams will do, and the success rate is probably less than [-]%. After all, James' shooting is not as bad as some fans think.

But today, this tactic is clearly successful.
