The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 353
The Mavericks have won the Warriors once before, but the rematch shows that the last time was a complete accident.

This time it was Klay Thompson who exploded, and there were two explosive monsters around him. Zhang Xiaotian's limelight was robbed a lot, so what if he dominates in the last quarter, the game will not be played at that time.

Before the big defeat of the Cavaliers, the state of the Warriors seemed to be adapted by other teams, and now it seems to be an illusion.

After the Spurs lost to the Warriors and then lost to the Cavaliers, they definitely have no chance of setting a record.

For the Warriors, the more they look at it, the more likely it is.

Although the team does not admit that it will deliberately pursue records, and some experts say that pursuit of records will consume players, and the championship is the most important thing, but this matter has attracted countless attentions, and the team has no possibility not to consider it.

Now everyone is looking at the results. Even players who are not satisfied with their status will not want to leave this season.

Zhang Xiaotian's fan base is also growing, but he is not yet the leader of the team, many fans are wronged for him, Zhang Xiaotian can only smile after seeing those discussions.

"We can also use the Warriors' record as a promotional activity. Can you surpass 72 wins?"

Although Yang Feiyu is now Mr. Yang, he still chats enthusiastically with fans online.

Zhang Xiaotian rubbed his wife's head and said with a smile: "No one can say for sure, but the team will definitely fight for it."

"That's OK. I'm watching football at a professional level now. As long as you want to compete, you can definitely do it. There will be a few accidents at most, and definitely no more than five games." Yang Feiyu vowed.

Zhang Xiaotian could only be speechless, these words were too "professional".

At the end of January, it was another back-to-back away game. Their first opponent was the 1ers.

The record of the 76ers is the same as the previous seasons. They are all young people who play, and they have to deliberately get a few scrap contracts to ensure that the team's salary is not too small.

The No. [-] pick this season, Jahlil Okafor, is performing well, but he can't help the team win, and his durability is not good enough.

In this game, Okafor accidentally played as a substitute. The 76ers have many big men. They often play three directly on the court. Now facing the Warriors, there is still a change.

Zhang Xiaotian was facing Jerami Grant from the same company. This buddy relied on defense to gain a foothold in the team. The 76ers have been thinking about the No. [-] pick all season, but they did not expect to put a very serious lineup this time.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors played smoothly on the offensive end. The 76ers have many big men, but both of them are relatively thin on the back line, and it is difficult to limit Curry and Klay Thompson.

And surprisingly, the Warriors also rebound well.

However, 76's substitute offensive power is stronger than that of the main team. I don't know if this is their strategy or because the team doesn't care.

In the first half, their main firepower came from Isaiah Cannan and Okafor on the bench. It was completely opposite to the situation of the Warriors. The Warriors' bench group sometimes looked very powerful, but many times they would not score much.

Jerami Grant still admires Zhang Xiaotian a little bit, because he was fooled by Eddie and looks like Zhang Xiaotian. In fact, Jerami Grant is better defensively than Zhang Xiaotian when he entered the league, but his offense is worse, so he is not a type.

The performance of admiration is that the defense is very hard. Over there, the Splash Brothers scored a lot of points, and Zhang Xiaotian just slipped away from the opponent, not too obsessed with teaching the rookie.

Leading by 19 points at halftime, the Warriors thought the game would be easy.

Unexpectedly, in the second half, the 76ers adjusted the lineup and replaced it with the most efficient lineup after just over three minutes of playing. The Warriors almost made a comeback when they didn't care.

At the last moment of the final quarter, the 76ers suddenly broke out and made consecutive hits. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaotian suppressed the opponent with a three-pointer and won the game with a little surprise.

This game also woke up the team's wake-up call. You can't just mess around on the court just because the opponent is a big fish.

So they killed the big Knicks the next day. The reason why the Knicks became big may be due to the decline in Anthony's dominance and Fisher's unsuitability as a coach.

They signed Aaron Afflalo, Robin Lopez and other practical players in the summer. The No. [-] pick Kristaps Porzingis performed well again. Defense, logically it wouldn't be so miserable, but the reality is so cruel.

With seven consecutive victories, the Warriors ended their journey in January.

A few days ago, the Cavaliers fired head coach David Blatt.

At that time, Zhang Xiaotian was stunned. You must know that the Cavaliers' record is the first in the Eastern Conference.

It seems that they were hit hard by the Warriors' defeat, and the blame was placed on the coach.

It's hard to say whether this kind of thing is good or bad. The Cavaliers have shown their determination to defend their title. The current mode of chasing the championship is dangerous, so change it.

But I don't know what the real situation is. There are various speculations in the media.

Zhang Xiaotian had a private call with David Blatt. He is on the fourth team this year, but this is the first time the former coach has been so unlucky.

David Blatt was a little disheartened, and Zhang Xiaotian didn't explore anything. The relationship between everyone was not very good, and he just sighed in his heart when he called.

In February, when the Lunar New Year was approaching, Zhang Xiaotian took Zhang Dajun over again.

It feels like I haven't seen him for a while, and my father is getting older again.

It would be great if they lived together, the moment Zhang Xiaotian saw Zhang Dajun, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The old man also lost his previous stubbornness, saying that he could stay here for a longer period of time this time, and also said that if he had a grandson with him, he would not care about the farm.

Zhang Xiaotian suddenly felt that the task was not light, but the matter of having a child could indeed be put on the agenda.

On February 2, the Warriors played away against the Wizards.

The results of the Wizards this season are not very good, their lineup is good, summer is just minor repairs, did not expect that this season will suddenly be unplayable.

Speaking of which, they should be stronger with the rise of the third-year student Otto Porter, but the reality is that they are still adjusting the lineup, and even Nene and Bill have been put on the bench.

The distribution of ball rights is a problem. If the Wizards do not solve it well, the team will encounter bottlenecks or even retreat.

And John Wall, as the core of the team, is a bit overwhelming, and outsiders can only sigh. If they don't make up their minds, the team can only play a supporting role.

Regardless of the opponent's situation, the Warriors have only one goal, and that is to win.

Curry started the storm in the first quarter, making it difficult for the Wizards, a team that was already a little confused, to deal with it, but Wall seemed a little bit unable to stand the humiliation.
