The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 416 Is there another record
The Clippers finally changed after consecutive substitutions. During the rotation period, Crawford was really good. He scored 5 points in a row in the last [-] seconds of the first quarter, helping the Clippers overtake the score.

Ginobili is out this year, and the Spurs' bench players performed poorly.

It's not just Crawford on the Clippers side, Speights and Felton performed very well.

The main players of the Spurs will not play for too long, and when they play again, the team is already behind by double digits.

To keep most of the team healthy, you have to make it harder for yourself.

A player of Zhang Xiaotian's level, that is, in the Spurs, averages about 30 minutes per game. In other teams, he should play at least 5 minutes more.

In addition to the status of the substitute, the No. [-] position is also terrible. Whether it is Parker or Mills, they are all suppressed by Paul.

The Clippers played better without Griffin. Although there are elements of ridicule, it is often the case.

The Clippers were in full bloom, and the Spurs got their wish and won the rebound, but they lost the score.

The combination of Aldridge and Gasol, which is the role of Jordan, is indeed a bit embarrassing.

During the intermission, everyone was a little silent.

In fact, without Griffin, the Clippers should be very defensive. It's good for Paul to let him be arrogant. It's not impossible for others to die.

Of course, it is really difficult for Popovich to insist on an 11-man rotation.

In fact, it's okay for the Spurs to lose. The first position in the Western Conference is too stable.

So much so that the outside world is speculating whether the Spurs plan to raise the winning record this season.

Popovich always scoffs at these. In fact, many teams have a chance to beat the Spurs, but they can't grasp it.

Even if the front is careless, the Spurs will get serious at the end of the quarter. Many teams can't even stand a quarter, and the Spurs can't help it even if they want to keep a low profile.

They won't force a winning streak, it's just the regular season, but they won't lose games on purpose either.

Popovich will also scold people if they play badly, they are just not used to playing the main force.

Appearing again in the third quarter, the Spurs players who had introspected in the locker room showed their real strength on the defensive end.

Cut off the connection between Paul and the other players, and do what he says.

The offensive end is easier, they are relatively strong, and Gasol is a surprise, Aldridge's performance is sluggish, but Gasol is alive, and he even grabbed offensive rebounds and scored consecutively.Taught Jordan a lesson.

Rivers also lost his temper and withdrew all the Clippers' main players, including Paul.

Not to mention, the Clippers played well with the full bench lineup and did not let the Spurs turn the score over.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Clippers were still all off the bench. They used Speights to hit five, and they completely gave up rebounding.

The Spurs were not affected by the opponent's strange moves, and Zhang Xiaotian led the team to start the final quarter.

In front of him has become Wesley Johnson, with a pair of long arms and good at limiting shots.

However, the Clippers took the initiative to remove Jordan as a defense fighter, and Zhang Xiaotian said that it would definitely not work.

On the court, he succeeded suddenly, and then scored a three-pointer by Danny Green. At the end of the quarter, he brought the momentum of the Spurs up.

The Clippers' offense wasn't bad either, and they also hit three-pointers.

But without a good defense, Zhang Xiaotian's offensive efficiency was too high, and his passing was also very dangerous. Soon Simmons also hit a three-pointer, and the score between the two sides was close at once.

According to the general situation, the Clippers will return the main force at this time.

But this time Rivers was really upset, and he insisted on not changing the main force.

The Clippers fans who bought gambling are probably already scolding.

And the Spurs like the other party to be angry, Popovich quickly replaced Leonard, it doesn't matter if Aldridge is not in good condition, they just play a big and a small.

The Clippers' substitute is also up to the mark at this time, the prince hit a three-pointer, and Speights also hit a three-pointer when he pulled out.

It's just that their lineup's defense is flawed. Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard almost broke their defense.

Three points, two points, Zhang Xiaotian is not soft at all.

After half a quarter, the Spurs overtook the score. Zhang Xiaotian's die-hard fans who were watching the live broadcast were also very excited. They continued to publicize online, and the gods showed their power again.

Rivers is also riding a tiger at this time. He is a coach who likes to pretend to compare. If he does not let the main players play, he must have prepared chicken soup, so that the main players who perform poorly can deeply reflect.

It's just that the situation didn't follow the script. For the sake of the head coach's majesty, I have to carry out the decision I made with tears in my eyes.

The Spurs don't care what the other side does, and they won't cooperate.

Jordan was on the bench, Gasol was playing even more, the Spurs took advantage of the rebounds, and the shots were even more unscrupulous, especially a few strong points, almost unstoppable.

At 3 minutes and 32 seconds, Leonard went in and scored 2+1.

Half a minute later, Zhang Xiaotian caused damage in almost the same position.

Then Gasol succeeded in a strong inside play, and the Spurs expanded their score advantage to double digits.

In the last moment, Rivers Jr. performed well and hit two good shots, but the entire Clippers played in a mess, and the Spurs accepted the game firmly.

Zhang Xiaotian is 31+9+9, and there is an extra quasi-word in front of the triple-double.

After the game, Rivers still said earnestly, "They need to understand how to win the game, they need to be more confident, we are better than last year, I believe in my players, they need to be more harmonious."

I don’t know how the Clippers feel about this bowl of chicken soup. Zhang Xiaotian feels like throwing up, obviously his operation is poor, he just wants to act like a famous coach, he deserves to lose.

The Spurs have won 22 consecutive victories, and if they win another game, they will be able to squeeze out the Rockets' winning streak and rank fourth in the record. If they win a few more games... This is not a fantasy, but a very likely thing to happen.

Popovich will not deliberately pursue the record, but the Spurs accidentally won the record, and he will not stop it.

Anyway, it's time for rotation, rotation for multiple people, rotation for multiple people.

The opponent in the back-to-back second away game is the Blazers. The Blazers spent a lot of money in the summer. This season's player wages are almost double that of last season.

However, their current grades are not good, which is a representative of spending money but not improving their combat effectiveness.

7000 million Turner, 7500 million Allen Crabbe, 4100 million Meyers Leonard, yes, these are all substitutes, and signing Ezeri who can’t play a game is a waste of money It took a lot.

The Blazers started with one big and four small, and the Spurs were double insiders. Dedmon got the chance to start.

Everyone in the Spurs has a chance to start, and Dedmon, the first insider substitute, is relatively rare.

This is thanks to Aldridge. If Aldridge is willing to stay at the fifth position, the Spurs may not need two insiders.
