The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 434 All-Star Weekend

The last opponent before the Spurs All-Stars is the Magic, still on the road.

As the unshakable belly of the Magic in these seasons, it is very difficult to pose a threat to the Spurs.

The Spurs had an absolute advantage in the first quarter, and the rest of the game became dull.

The opponent was too weak, and Zhang Xiaotian only played three quarters.

So it’s not that weak opponents can have good stats, but everyone needs to be about the same strength to collect stats, or let the big fish lead a little bit before chasing, it seems quite difficult to achieve.

After Zhang Xiaotian thought about many tricks, he still felt a little guilty. When did he become no longer pure? Victory, competitive basketball is to pursue victory, and everything else is trivial.

Head coach Popovich was obviously satisfied with the victory of this game. He said after the game: "Aldridge performed very well on the offensive end at the beginning, and the whole team also performed very well on the defensive end. Win. We also did a good job moving the ball, I think we had about 13, 14 assists in the first quarter."

After the All-Star weekend, most of the Spurs players plan to take a vacation, because only Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard and Simmons need to go to New Orleans this time.

The team record is No. [-] in the Western Conference, but Popovich was the head coach of the Western Conference last year, and this year he was replaced by Cole, so the old man will not go.

For Zhang Xiaotian, as the core of the team, he needs to make some friends somewhere, but because Yang Feiyu's due date is approaching, he is also a little absent-minded.

Neither he nor Leonard are very good at communication.

However, the team has an excellent record, and many stars are willing to get together and make friends.

For example, James, who is so slick and slick, feels bad about losing in the game, but Zhang Xiaotian still has his part in the All-Star organization activities.

Nowadays, the pace of basketball games is fast, and it is no longer an era where stars dominate the world. When they come to the All-Stars, many of them are willing to get in touch with each other more, and they may become teammates at some point.

This is also the advantage of the rapid spread of information on the developed network. Even if a few people get together, they will have a lot of opportunities to show their faces, unlike in the past that could not be satisfied with only a small newspaper page.

Rather, it is easier to attract attention and make money when all-star players gather together.

On the first day of the rookie game, Jonathan Simmons performed well. He inherited the tradition of the Spurs and was unceremonious in defense, but his opponent performed better.

The World United team defeated the United States United team. Nuggets sharpshooter Jamal Murray scored 20 points, scoring 36 points, 3 rebounds and 11 assists. He made 14 of 9 shots from beyond the three-point line and won the MVP.

After the game, Murray admitted that he cherishes the opportunity to show his face in the All-Star Game every minute, so every time he takes a shot, he hopes to throw the ball in, "I just keep shouting, I'm great, I'm great .They just kept feeding me the ball and I took my chances and kept shooting.”

Zhang Xiaotian now looks at young people with the eyes of old seniors. In addition to supporting his teammates, he also subconsciously compares which young people are suitable to partner with him.

In the evening, Zhang Xiaotian formed a game and took a group of people to have fun.

He continued to watch the game the next day, and even broadcast it live to Yang Feiyu on his mobile phone.

Skills battle Porzingis once again achieved the feat of a big champion. In an interview after the game, the reporter asked if the buddy had deliberately prepared for this skills game before the game. He pretended to say: "Those dribbles Before the game, I warmed up and walked through it once or twice, but I didn’t have any special training preparation. Before the game, I mainly practiced shooting and passing during the warm-up.”

As an international player from Latvia, Porzingis is not only a new star for the New York Knicks, but his influence in the league is also growing day by day. "Being able to prove himself in a skill contest, even though people don't think big guys are good at dribbling or shooting. I hope that our new generation of post players can show the kids who play that there are many things that can be done if you practice hard. Arrived."

In the three-point contest, Gordon defeated Irving to win the championship. In Gordon's view, he can win the three-point contest because of the Rockets' offensive system.

"We're running a lot, we're running a fast-paced offense, and we're shooting a lot of [-]-pointers," Gordon said. To the best of your ability, to hit a lot of [-]-pointers."

The slam dunk contest that everyone pays most attention to is the upset of Glenn Robinson III, who overwhelmed the Suns dunker Derek Jones and defeated the champion of the slam dunk contest.

When describing his final winning dunk, Robinson said: "When I started the arrangement, I just wanted to step over Paul George alone, but for the last chance, I knew I needed a very special performance to beat Derek, so at the time I was also very excited to find our mascot and cheerleaders to help me complete this action. The loud encouragement from the audience also gave me a lot of help. There is no way to practice dunks in such an atmosphere.”

The dark horse in the slam dunk contest, Robinson also expressed his motivation after the game.

"A lot of people have asked me this question. Before the game, they said that my chance of winning the dunk contest is only [-]%. I have never been favored in my entire career. I have always acted as a dark horse. I Trying to prove myself time and time again. I accept everyone's opinion, I am a very casual person, I don't care much about what others say, but when it is time for me to shine, I will not miss this opportunity."

For the All-Star Game, which he cared about before, Zhang Xiaotian took it lightly this time, but winning is still his pursuit.

The host Anthony Davis is very friendly to the stars who came over this time, and everyone is willing to give him a chance.

The East played well in the first quarter, but then the West took control.

There is no doubt that the configuration in the west is more reasonable.

Two guards with strong outside lines and three forwards with both offense and defense.

But Leonard didn't play much today and gave time to Anthony Davis.

When Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard, and Durant were on the court, the three of them cooperated very efficiently several times.

Zhang Xiaotian also half-jokingly and half-seriously said to Durant: "If the three of us were not on the same team, would you say that other teams in the league would stop playing?"

Finally someone didn't boo him and let him reconcile with Westbrook. Durant felt that Zhang Xiaotian was a good person.

"It's a good idea, but we are opponents this season, and we will beat you in the playoffs."
