The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 502

Without Rubio, Mitchell is more important in the Jazz's tactics. The Spurs have carried out targeted defense from the beginning of the game.

Mitchell has wingspan and is not afraid of confrontation, and his singles ability is still good, but the Spurs' team defense is really good, the inside block ability is not too strong, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard's help defense is not worse than the inside.

Mitchell's bursts a few times didn't work well, but the Jazz were not messed up on the offensive end. They still have a ball-holding point that is Ingles. Organizational skills still played a role.

Unlike Rubio's explosion last time, this time the Spurs and Jazz were fighting wits and courage on both ends of the offense and defense, and the first half was very tangled.

Last season, the Spurs carved the Jazz to death, but this season the Jazz are in trouble. The aspect of tactical restraint is really interesting.

However, the Spurs are stronger than the opponent in terms of hard power. Teams like the Jazz are very troublesome and tiring to play, but the chance of him being upset is also very small, which is the case with teams that defend a lot of fairy balls.

In the second half, after the Spurs increased their intensity, the Jazz had problems.

The jazz is also very tough in the suffocating defense, but in the strong defense, the Spurs have Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, but the jazz can't.

So in the third quarter, the Spurs pressed hard and gained an advantage.

In the last quarter, Mitchell, who went all out, showed his strength at the All-Star level and also hit a fairy ball.

It's just that the fairy ball at this time is of little significance. Zhang Xiaotian can help the team score continuously, but Mitchell can only keep from collapsing and can't turn the game over.

At the last moment, Zhang Xiaotian interfered with Mitchell's personal performance twice in a row, including a big hat for assisting defense.

The Jazz fought until the last minute, but they should lose or lose.

In the second back-to-back game, the Spurs are not easy to face the Nuggets.

Jokic is in excellent form, and he played a triple-double in the first three quarters.

But in the fourth quarter, the Spurs' targeted defense did not give Jokic a chance to perform at all.

And Zhang Xiaotian and the Nuggets' outside line started a soaring point battle. With his strong performance of 16 points in the final quarter and 41 points in the game, the Spurs won back-to-back winning streaks in away games.

There is one less ball-holding point inside, and it is really tiring to play, but the strength of the Spurs is still top-notch.

If Zhang Xiaotian really fights together, it will be too difficult to restrict him.

His fans also believe that when it comes to the playoffs, he is still unstoppable.

Next, it's All-Star Weekend.

Before that, Zhang Xiaotian's family was spending another Spring Festival in the mansion.

There are more people in the family, and it feels a lot more lively.

After the Spring Festival, the family will fly directly to Los Angeles. This time, the All-Star family will have a good time.

Los Angeles is quite lively, Zhang Xiaotian first went shopping with his family, and then paid attention to the All-Stars.

While watching the Masters and Rookie Challenge, Zhang Xiaotian got in touch with the team.

Cousins ​​was injured and couldn't play, so he was replaced by Paul George. Zhang Xiaotian's full striker lineup was unexpectedly achieved. He had discussed with Popovich for several hours before, and finally asked the old man to order it at the price of a bottle of red wine. head.

In the game, his team will try an all-forward lineup, and Zhang Xiaotian will play the first position to organize the offense.

His idea of ​​​​organizing the offense has also been told to other players in various ways.

He chose so many strikers this time, and there have been various theories for a long time. His own half-truths and half-false statements are very convincing. At least a few players in the third position are interested.

"There is no doubt that this year's world team is stronger, and the US team can't do three points."

Soon Zhang Xiaotian's prediction became a reality, and he gained the admiring eyes of the people around him.

In fact, it's not just the basket, the structure of the U.S. team this year is not good, let alone the world team has Ben Simmons, Embiid and other ruthless characters.

In the end, Bogdanovic, who won the Rookie Challenge MVP and is known as the most expensive rookie, directly won 3 for 3600 years.

In the evening, Zhang Xiaotian took the players he chose out to have fun.

In order to play comfortably at the All-Stars, good hospitality is indispensable.

Cannibalism is soft-spoken, and soon everyone agreed to let Zhang Xiaotian play the first position, even Lowry and Harden agreed.

There is nothing that a nightclub can't solve, just a few more drinks at most.

Several Spurs players are on the same team, which is not troublesome. As usual, no one will participate in the other teams. Except for the main game, they can relax with appreciation.

James also organized an event. Their team has a lot of three-pointers and is clamoring to break the scoring record again.

Regarding the outcome, James still feels that their team is more promising. The person Zhang Xiaotian chooses is fun, but it is not that simple to win.

The next day's technical competition, three-point contest and slam dunk contest, all the new faces had the last laugh.

Especially in the slam dunk contest, Jazz rookie Mitchell played off the bench because of Aaron Gordon's injury and won the championship.

Zhang Xiaotian brought his family just to watch it for fun. He didn't have much interest in this kind of game without direct confrontation.

The main game on the third day was the highlight, and Zhang Xiaotian came to the stadium on time to warm up.

When choosing a coach to lead the team, the Warriors ranked first in the West. Coach Kerr was the last coach, and it was the turn of the Spurs, who were ranked second at the time. Popovich is also an old face of the All-Stars.

Before the start of the game, Zhang Xiaotian learned that Jimmy Butler, the only No. [-] position selected by James, did not want to play, claiming that he wanted to rest his body.

Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help laughing. He originally wanted to choose Butler, but he didn't expect to be snatched by James. Now it seems that he made the money. Fortunately, James was originally the third position, so the opponent would not be short of people.

For the starting lineups of both sides, James' team is one big and four juniors, and Zhang Xiaotian's team can be said to be five juniors, but there is no way that the average body of the fifth juniors is even taller. Who would let James have three guards?

Not surprisingly, the two teams competed for three points at the beginning.

However, Zhang Xiaotian's organization still surprised many fans.

The James team thought it was an All-Star performance, but they didn't care too much.

But soon discovered that Zhang Xiaotian was for real this time.

He has a criminal record, but James was staring at him, but he didn't expect him to have a sharp assist this time.

Zhang Xiaotian's team had five starters, that is, Brother Antetokounmpo almost made a three-pointer. The others improved their shooting percentage through Zhang Xiaotian's plug-in. In addition, everyone in the All-Stars did not defend so hard, and all of a sudden they hit a terrifying three-point shooting percentage.

With Zhang Xiaotian's assist, he just got up.

The assists are exaggerated, and he has more chances to shoot three-pointers.

By the time the opponent realized something was wrong, Zhang Xiaotian's team had already led by 20 points.

In just one quarter, Zhang Xiaotian scored ten assists, which shocked a lot of eyeballs.
