The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 242
Zhang Xiaotian is not the kind with very delicate skills, but now that the insiders are crowded together and the outside is clear, it is still very safe for him to play a back pass.

Wade has come down, and the catch is throwing.

The Spurs players were still focused on Zhang Xiaotian, they could only watch the basketball go into the basket.

This kind of scoring, the Heat are not the only ones who can play with James.

Zhang Xiaotian really wanted to stimulate Leonard to single-play him too. Leonard had played a few times before, but the success rate was only one-third. Leonard's offensive skills are not top-notch, and some rely on his touch and body.

However, the opponent was not fooled, Leonard still sent the ball inside after taking the ball.

This time Zhang Xiaotian made a risky thing, while the ball was still in the air, he rushed to the inside.

In order to limit Leonard, Zhang Xiaotian has not assisted in defense before.

But time has come to the last few minutes, and sometimes it's time to take a risk.

When to take risks is also a kind of university question, Zhang Xiaotian chose a good time.

Duncan raised his arms, caught the ball and threw it outside.

But this reaction was expected by Zhang Xiaotian, he suddenly jumped up when he was still a few steps away from Duncan.

Duncan's eyes widened. He knew that Zhang Xiaotian was more difficult to deal with than last season, but he still didn't understand it as clearly as Leonard.

Zhang Xiaotian's reaction was too fast, the pass was blocked by him.

Holding the ball, Zhang Xiaotian pushed forward quickly, and Leonard returned to the defense quickly, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaotian to be one step away from the three-point line, so he shot directly.

At 3 minutes and 21 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian chased and hit a three-pointer, and the score gap between the two sides was only 2 points.

The Spurs chose to pause, and they fell into another problem, who to score at the critical moment.

The first choice is of course Parker, and the most unpredictable is Ginobili, but the Heat's perimeter defense is not fake. In terms of pure perimeter defense, the Heat are stronger than the Spurs.

The Heat's arrangement is that Wade will defend Parker, and Wade also has a pair of long arms. It is not easy for Parker to make a shot.

If Parker picks and rolls with Duncan, it won't be Bosh who comes out, but James. The same is true for Dior's pick and roll, and he won't give the opponent a chance to play big.

Defensive rotation, both teams are excellent.

It was Dior who came up to the pick-and-roll, and the Heat should not change people.

The Heat immediately put James on Parker in the pick-and-roll. Parker took two steps inside and then walked back, but he didn't fool James. James can defend the No. [-] position.

Parker paused for a moment, then wiped towards the baseline, but at the moment of acceleration, he flicked the ball out.

Diaw received the ball at the three-point line, which the Spurs have used before, and Wade rushed over quickly. Diaw hit the iron after the ball was interfered.

Bosh entangled Duncan hard, but the falling ball was touched by Leonard first. This guy jumped really high.

Leonard became a little greedy, he wanted to make a tip-up directly.

Zhang Xiaotian had already stretched out his hand and destroyed the ball.

James turned around and squeezed, and grabbed the basketball in his hand.

Then the Heat launched a counterattack directly. The most difficult thing for the opponent to defend against the Heat is their counterattack.

Diaw's pace was a little slower, and Leonard could only make up for the rushing James.

James accelerated the second time and hit the basket directly, but was still disturbed by Leonard.

His physical strength has also had some problems, otherwise he decided to block Leonard's dunk.

The basketball popped up, but Zhang Xiaotian seized the opportunity this time.

He was originally rushing to the back, but at this moment he jumped up and smashed the basketball into the basket with one hand.

At 2 minutes and 56 seconds, 97:97, the two sides tied.

At this time, complex tactics are meaningless, and it depends on the players on both sides.

Next, Leonard and Ginobili hit successively, and the Heat also hit James and Bosh.

At the last moment, the scores of both sides were still the same.

The narrator is already surprised, will this game also be overtime.

With the Heat's offense, Zhang Xiaotian took the initiative to ask for the ball. His performance in the past few games has earned him more opportunities.

"Zhang, I won't let you score from me again." Leonard rarely spoke first.

"You can't guard me, I'm ten times stronger than last season."

Zhang Xiaotian showed his white teeth, and Leonard focused all his attention.

Just the next moment, Zhang Xiaotian called a screen, stepped back and hit a three-pointer.

In the last 24 seconds, the superposition of the skills of the king of the last quarter and Mr. Key made a steady three-pointer.

Surprise flashed in Leonard's eyes, Zhang Xiaotian smiled and said, "Kawhi, this is not a one-on-one match, I want victory."

At 104:101, the Spurs requested a timeout again.

Ginobili chose to make a quick shot and missed a three-pointer.

Duncan squeezed the position under the basket, and the long arm hit the ball, 104:103.

With 16 seconds left, the Spurs did not immediately take foul tactics, and they were still expecting the Heat to make a mistake.

This was a wrong decision, because Zhang Xiaotian proved it with his actions.

Facing the Spurs' pressing, James gave the ball to Zhang Xiaotian near the center line, and then ran towards him.

This is a time-delaying tactic. Zhang Xiaotian only needs to give the ball to James again and wait for the opponent to foul.

Neither of them expected that Zhang Xiaotian rushed forward after receiving the ball, and shot directly before reaching beyond the three-point line.

If you know that a miss will give the Spurs a chance to equalize, even the teammates on the field are surprised, and the Spurs did not expect to make a mistake on defense.

However, the ball was hit, 107:103, everyone was stunned.

The reason why Zhang Xiaotian did that was because he had this certainty.

With the superposition of skills, he is almost sure to score this goal, which is more confident than letting the opponent foul.

Although he could have stopped and waited for a foul, which would have been safer, he shot anyway.

Maybe this is the desire in his heart. He showed his personality in the finals, and he did it.

Zhang Xiaotian also raised his arms high as the Internet was full of mighty gods.

Just being a role player is still depressing. Maybe he won't be able to become the core of the team in a short time, but at this moment, he is the king.

The Spurs attacked again, Parker missed a three-pointer, the game ended, and the Heat won the match point.

Zhang Xiaotian scored 20+5+4 and had two steals.

The outside world was amazed. In the finals, Zhang Xiaotian became the fourth giant of the Heat.

No one thought before that most of the forward duels on the peak field would be him and Leonard.

Many team managers are already thinking about what price to use to win Zhang Xiaotian.

Even if he hasn't reached the level of leading a team, it's more than enough to be the second in charge and the third in charge.

The Heat's management immediately stated that they already had a detailed plan to renew Zhang Xiaotian's contract, but it was not announced immediately because of the playoffs.

Zhang Xiaotian said in an interview, "Now I don't pay attention to anything. The Spurs are a very great team. We are still one game away. We must win another one."
