The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 62 The New Year

After Christmas, the Spurs defeated the Raptors, who were short of major generals. The Thunder fell from the first place because of the loss in the Christmas game, but the Spurs were still second. The Clippers won the Christmas game and boarded the first place in the Western Conference.

Behind them is the Grizzlies. The competition in the West is as fierce as ever. In the East, only the Knicks and the Heat are chasing each other. The records of other teams are quite poor.

For the Rockets, they can only comfort that the team is not in the best condition yet. Although it has been nearly two months since the start of the game, and the All-Star game will be held in Houston, the number of votes for the Rockets is not ideal.

Even if Jeremy Lin opens up, there is still a gap.

The Rockets have been in good shape recently, and they expect to win a victory over the Spurs.

The two teams have collided for the third time this season. Because of the relationship across the ocean, the Texas Civil War has attracted a lot of attention.

However, in the first quarter, Duncan and Parker taught each other how to behave. Although the Rockets played well, the Spurs' offense was too good. They scored 41 points in a single quarter and led the opponent by 12 points. This also shows that the Rockets' defense is poor.

Leonard also prevented Parsons from crying, and was robbed and capped again.

Stimulated by Zhang Xiaotian on the stage, Parsons originally planned to take revenge, but now it feels like it's over before it even starts.

During the rotation time, Ginobili also felt very good, and Zhang Xiaotian was a spectator.

It seems that after a quarter, the blood of the Spurs players is full, and each one is full of energy.

The Rockets had no choice but to use their unique trick, and the main force did not rest.

Mainly Parsons and Harden, after Leonard's oppression, and Zhang Xiaotian's head-to-head defense, Parsons felt a lot more comfortable.

"I didn't expect that when you fight again, you will already be a substitute, and it seems that your strength has returned to this level."

After Parsons became one, he couldn't wait to start playing.

"Anyway, you are behind, anyway, you are the loser." Zhang Xiaotian made a big move directly, and Parsons had a feeling of arrhythmia.

Jeremy Lin also hit consecutively after he came on the court. The Spurs' No. [-] position is really able to contain him. Even Parker, everyone exploded. It can be said that the point guard is the weakest point of the Spurs' defense, except for the center position, which depends on the opponent's ability. outside.

Miraculously, Duncan didn't feel tired in the third quarter, and he still showed his might in the paint.

The Rockets can only rely on Arden's various singles. Although their record is not as expected, Harden has proved that he is a player who can play the core. The offensive ability is indeed an All-Star level, especially the ability to draw fouls. Danny- Green and Ginobili have been recruited.

But this is useless, the Spurs still firmly grasp the initiative.

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian's consecutive hits almost brought the Spurs' lead to 20 points.

Then the Rockets set up a lineup of three guards to chase points desperately, which had a lot of effect, but unfortunately the pit was too big. They recovered 10 points in the last few minutes and still had to accept failure.

When they were chasing points, Popovich also practiced with two players who didn't play often, which also made the opponent hate their teeth and feel helpless.

Three games and three defeats, even if the Rockets don't want to admit it, they and the Spurs are not the same team this season.

After Leonard's return, the Spurs have a bit of a taste of killing the Quartet.

Next, they beat the Mavericks by 25 points in another Texas civil war.

In back-to-back away games, they beat the Nets, which had just improved this season, with a 31-point advantage.

In December, the streak ended.

They played so well, but they still haven't reached the top of the Western Conference. Their competitors, the Thunder and the Clippers, are also winning streak.

It is a good thing for the team to become stronger, but Zhang Xiaotian's personal situation is somewhat unsatisfactory.

It's not just that Leonard returned to the bench, the team always wins big and there is no room for him to play, and the game is often over before he takes a shot.

In fact, Leonard also performed well on defense. The team's big bosses are too powerful, and they don't have much say in the offense. The two of them are like brothers and sisters, and they practice silently after training every day. shoot.

"La la la, our team has been established. The school's entrepreneurial alliance will invite some investors this time. I think I may attract investment."

"Your team? Didn't you say that you are the only boss in the company, Mr. Yang?"

"Of course I'm the only boss. I pay all the money now. They just invest in technology and do things for me. Although I borrowed money from my family, how can I start a business without real money, hehe."

"You are amazing, miss, Mr. Yang, please take care of me, and... Can you be more serious about moving?"

When Yang Feiyu got excited, she threw the things in her hands, and Zhang Xiaotian was convinced.

The new house that Zhang Xiaotian bought has already been settled, a small wooden house with a garage, just over 30 US dollars, I didn’t expect that he is now a small local tycoon, if he does odd jobs like the previous two years, such a house would be out of the question.

The decoration is simple, and the things at home are planned to be added slowly, so I moved here quickly while taking advantage of the new year.

Yang Feiyu also happily moved here. Most of the graduates like them who basically only need to wait for a degree certificate have already moved out. It is convenient for her to start a business and live outside.

Zhang Xiaotian gave her the largest bedroom, but he doesn't know how to sleep when the time comes.

If Yang Feiyu's family knew that this guy spent the family's money and was coaxed by a man to live together, he wondered if he would fly over with a machete.

Zhang Xiaotian is dating on the premise of getting married, and he will definitely go to see her family members, but it is estimated that he will not have time until summer.

Yang Feiyu hasn't discussed their relationship with her family in detail, otherwise she will probably be ordered to go home, or cut off the funds for her business.

"Hey hey, let me have a taste of my craft in a while."

"Didn't you just make a fruit salad? It's as if you made the big meal."

"Zhang Xiaotian, your words are getting worse and worse. No wonder you say you can't let men easily get it. At most, I'll fry the steak after you marinate it."

"Fry a piece for each person. You make it for me, and I make it for you. That's the only way to abuse a dog."

"Let's abuse the atmosphere, beautiful girls, are we cooking for ourselves when they come?"

"It's better to have a big meal outside. I'll just cook for you."

Yang Feiyu burst into laughter immediately, this girl is still easy to coax, Zhang Xiaotian did not choose wrongly.

Today it was just the two of them celebrating moving to a new house. Zhang Xiaotian cooked a few dishes with a combination of Chinese and Western tastes. In the future, their friends will come to congratulate them, but they will not be treated so well.

With the new year and new weather, Zhang Xiaotian also hopes to make further progress in his career, that is to help the Spurs win the championship.

His opportunity is the basketball championship system, and he always feels that there will be some surprises if he wins the championship.
