Chapter 257 The Spurs Who Almost Overturned

In the second game of the Spurs' four consecutive home games, the Portland Trail Blazers came to challenge.

The Portland Trail Blazers are currently eighth in the Western Conference. They have suffered 2 and 4 consecutive losses before, which is terrible. They have fallen from the top four in the Western Conference to the current eighth position.

The current Blazers are also competing in every game.

But the Spurs said here that winning is your best effort, and whether you can win me or not depends on me.

At present, the Spurs can taste failure, only a few teams with explosive talents, or the Spurs "explode" before they have the possibility of losing.

The Blazers really didn't let the Spurs take a fancy to it.

The pride that comes with a winning streak is a double-edged sword.

The confidence of all the Spurs players is sufficient, but if they are too proud, it will backfire.

Among the Spurs generals, only Xiao Hang is normal. The other players are distracted on the defensive end. They feel that their offense is strong, and the opponent has not been in a good state recently, so they relax themselves.

But now that the playoffs are approaching, how can we relax.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs and Trail Blazers tied at 29.

But during a brief break, Popovich scolded the Spurs as well.

I knew I was wrong in my heart and started to want it, but my heart and body were still not very coordinated.

Only Xiao Hang, a training freak, is still in excellent condition. The deepest thoughts of the others are actually to shoot, but they just don’t want to be scolded by Popovich, so they cheer up, but the matching of brain and body The rate is not high, only [-] to [-], and the Blazers on the opposite side are now all Northwestern wolves, staring at the Spurs, wanting to steal a chicken once, overthrow the Spurs, and ensure that they can enter the playoffs smoothly.

Xiao Hang and Lillard hit each other, but Lillard still has McCollum.

Xiao Hang was a little depressed. After Isaac defeated the Magic with an explosive performance in the previous game, he was actually sluggish today.

There is no way, the team members are not strong enough to do it alone.

However, Xiao Hang did not choose to defend Lillard. Lillard's speed is slightly faster than Curry. For Xiao Hang's lateral movement, it is a nightmare. Xiao Hang regrets how tall he is. He is 6 feet high. 4. The lateral speed at 6-foot-5 is really nostalgic.

But at that time, Xiao Hang didn't have much muscle, and his weight wasn't high. Overall, his high school league level wasn't high enough, and he didn't need strong strength.

But it's different in the NBA. It requires strength, weight, and height.

If a 6-foot-8 forward has the lateral speed of a 6-foot-3 guard, something is wrong.

Xiao Hang is in charge of the back defense. Murray is in such a bad state today that he has been put on the bench. Although Forbes is not shooting well today, his defense is still qualified. Lillard scored 9 points in the first quarter. , and halfway through the second quarter, with the full cooperation of Forbes leading the defense and Xiao Hang's assistance, Lillard now only has 4 points in the account, and the effect is outstanding.

McCollum's speed is mediocre, and Xiao Hang just caught it, but McCollum's hand feeling is really good today. He hit 2 mid-range shots against Xiao Hang, and also hit 2 Lillard's three-pointer after attracting Xiao Hang. Points, 10 points have been obtained.

And the Blazers didn't bench Nurkic this time, because Isaac is not good on the offensive end today, so Isaac can't guard Nurkic on the defensive end. Qi is currently 5 of 4 and scored 8 points.

The Spurs are gratified here that Isaac, although Nurkic was beaten in various ways, did not send unnecessary fouls.

Xiao Hang is currently contracting 60% of the scoring, and the rest is relying on some cakes to eat. In the first half, the Spurs temporarily led by 53 to 50 by three points.

Xiao Hang already scored 33 points in the first half.

Although the scene was once ugly, the Spurs fans at home are still very happy.

In the previous game, I watched Xiao Hang and DeRozan's soaring points, but today I watched Xiao Hang's solo show.

During the intermission, coach Stotts rearranged the offensive tactics, defense?Forget it, let's fight against each other. Nurkic then hit 2 more goals against Isaac and temporarily scored 12 points in the first half.

This made Coach Stotts smell the victory, and Nurkic was decisively given a heavy responsibility.

Originally, Adelaide was also fighting against Nurkic, but today the Blazers took the double center Miles Leonard as the 4th position.

Leonard, an insider who can hit 1.7 three-pointers per game, should have been Isaac's favorite defensively, but who asked Popovich to put Isaac in the 5th position, and Adelaide was a bit abandoned In other words, Poeltl returned to the bench.

The Spurs' current regular rotation number 4 is Gay. Alder and Isaac will start playing now, and Popovich will soon stagger their time, similar to Xiao Hang's time at the beginning of the season. Like staggering, Popovich said that the tactics he gave to Xiao Hang and Isaac cannot be destroyed.

Everyone also knows that Isaac is Adelaide's backup tire in the future. After the season, the Spurs really don't care where Adelaide goes. The contract extension has not yet been issued. Adelaide can only play hard and give him more money. Find a pension contract yourself.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Coach Stotts was in trouble. Although Popovich said that he was flexible on the spot, he was really flexible and scared to death.

Gasol, who hadn't appeared for a long time, came up and formed a double-slow inside line with Adelaide, but it was enough for Nurkic and Leonard.

And Isaac went to small forward. Facing Turner, Isaac is definitely a super high fort.

Although Isaac is not in good form today, Popovich's use of him means that standing outside the three-point line can attract defenses. After all, he is the one who averages 36% of 1.5 three-pointers per game.

Popovich played classical basketball. In addition to the small forward, the small forward played like a shooting guard, the shooting guard Xiao Hang played like a small forward, and Forbes played defense and organization.

In the third quarter, the Spurs played a wave of climax. Dajia played 7 minutes, contributed 6 points, 4 rebounds and 2 blocks. The efficiency was very high.

Xiao Hang also worked hard, scoring 12 points in a single quarter, and controlled the rhythm. Although he scored a little less in the fourth quarter, fortunately, he scored 33 points in the first half and scored 51 points in the game.

Xiao Hang broke his own scoring record, and the 51 points also made the audience happy. The Spurs' winning streak at home continued.

But there is good news for the Blazers. The Lakers who played together today also lost, and they still continue to occupy the eighth position in the Western Conference.

The Lakers lost to the Eastern Conference powerhouses and their lifelong enemy, the Celtics. How could the Celtics kindly let you have a chance to go to the playoffs? It can only be said that it is fate.
