Chapter 420
Zhang Xiaotian's free throw was the most stable, but the two Eagles intercepted, and Leonard could only step forward to catch the ball.

Leonard's state is not good this time, but he must also take responsibility at this time.

Leonard was expressionless, but he still missed the first free throw.

He flicked his wrist, slapped Zhang Xiaotian and other teammates, and took the basketball from the referee. The away fans booed loudly. There were only three seconds left. Do you want to waste time on purpose?

Maybe Zhang Xiaotian would play like that, but Leonard adjusted and made the free throw.

The Hawks paused again, then replaced five shooters.

With a gap of 2 points, if there is another three points, they will win.

Tim Hardaway Jr. with hot hands is definitely the first choice, but Korver, Millsap, Schroder and others also have the possibility of shooting, or they will choose a two-pointer by surprise.

Tim Hardaway Jr. certainly didn't allow the ball, even if the Eagles used a double screen and it didn't work.

However, in this way, the Spurs' defensive position has changed slightly.

Tim Hardaway Jr. was still trying his best to get rid of the defense, and the ball was sent to Schroeder, but Schroeder didn't make a shot, and it was directly handed over to Tim Hardaway Jr. who ran back.

On the last ball, the Eagles once again showed an exquisite team arrangement.

Tim Hardaway Jr. is full of confidence at this time, no matter who is blocking the front, he can also enter.

This is the feeling in his heart, and he is absolutely unstoppable whenever this happens.

But this time there was a little accident. The basketball he threw was slapped down by a big hand.

Zhang Xiaotian identified Tim Hardaway Jr. from the very beginning, and he chose the most threatening one.

Although Danny Green was replaced in front of Tim Hardaway Jr. under cover, Zhang Xiaotian's attention was always on.

After Schroeder received the ball, Tim Hardaway Jr. ran back and made a shoving action.

The referee will not blow the whistle at this time, Danny Green was blocked for a while, but Zhang Xiaotian did not distract, there is no time, the Eagles only have one choice.

So without the slightest hesitation, he rushed over and jumped up.

No matter how confident Tim Hardaway Jr. is, it's useless. How can Zhang Xiaotian's jumping and wingspan allow him to throw the ball easily.

A big cap, the referee then blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Spurs narrowly beat the Eagles.

The Spurs won 27 consecutive victories in a thrilling manner, tying the second consecutive victory record in history.

A winning streak is the best publicity. No matter how low-key the Spurs are, the spotlight outside has already turned on.

A few rookies are the most excited, they can feel the taste of stars in advance.

Some players find it troublesome, and it is inconvenient for reporters to stare at them all the time and want to do private activities.

Zhang Xiaotian is an intermediate type, he doesn't mind if he gets used to it, anyway, his life is regular enough.

Popovich had to be stern to educate young players. The current record is too good to be pressured. For the current Spurs, Popovich is actually a little worried.

Unexpectedly, now, the Spurs have become very dependent on the performance of their stars.

Of course, it is the star himself who gains the most from his performance, and Zhang Xiaotian's prestige in the team is also increasing day by day.

He is also a local, and the fans are very supportive of him.

"Brother, these business activities are carefully selected by me... Help me guide people."

"No problem, but I want to promote the brand, you can help arrange it."

Eddie is very happy during this time, new endorsements and high-priced commercial activities, he can also earn a lot, if he helps expose the players in his hand, there may be extra income.

As long as it doesn't affect the training, Zhang Xiaotian certainly has no objection to earning more, he is going to be a father.

After he returned to the Spurs, he freely chose to sell a batch here, and he felt pretty good.

On January 1, the Spurs ushered in a challenge from the Raptors at home.

DeRozan still stayed with the Raptors and continued his unfinished dream with Lowry.

After leaving DeRozan, the Raptors did not make more supplements, and the contract extension alone greatly increased the salary they needed to spend.

The Raptors got off to a good start, about the same as last season, and not much worse than the Cavaliers.

They can't be considered top-notch on both offense and defense, but they are well combined and can be said to be strong.

At the beginning of the game, Leonard, who had fully recovered, beat Carroll.

Zhang Xiaotian's defense against DeRozan was also good, making it difficult for the Raptors to attack.

And Ibaka can't play this time, and Aldridge also has an absolute advantage in the paint.

I thought it would take more effort, but Lowry was not in good shape, and the Raptors couldn't restrain the Spurs' strengths, and the score gap widened rapidly.

The main reason is that Lowry didn't seize the opportunity. The Spurs are currently the weakest No. [-] position. If he can't take advantage of Parker, the Raptors won't be able to win.

After the intermission, the Raptors did not improve on the offensive end, only DeRozan struggled to support.

The game quickly turned into garbage time. Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard and Aldridge all scored 20+ in three quarters, playing very comfortably.

It was much easier to win than expected, and this game was not only played by the stars, but also the teamwork was excellent.

But this is not the norm for the team. Popovich is now older, sometimes he doesn't care a lot, and sometimes he is a little perfectionist.

After the big victory, the Spurs will not relax, but more rigorous training.

But Zhang Xiaotian likes it, and only by being strict can he improve his combat effectiveness. His team can't be satisfied with good results in the regular season, and their goal is always the championship.

Popovich has enough restraint on the team, and Zhang Xiaotian is also relieved a lot.

On January 1, all the Spurs came to Denver to play against the Nuggets.

The Nuggets are a team that didn't do much in the summer, but their strength has grown a bit this season.

First of all, the young players Nikola Jokic and Gary Harris have grown rapidly, and then the seventh pick in a bunch of draft picks Jamal Murray is also a good seed.

They are now characterized by strong offense and weak defense, which is a little different from before.

At the beginning of the game, Jokic played very happily against Gasol, but the Nuggets' defense was too poor, and the inside line was like a mutual explosion.

As for the perimeter, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard's performance has always been dominant.

The point is, both Parker and Ginobili are in good form this time, and they are eager to try to teach young people a lesson.

The three strong points of the Spurs plus the three veterans of Parker, Ginobili, and Gasol are rarely in good condition at the same time. The Nuggets must feel honored.

No longer the track and field team they once were, the Spurs are almost slowly slinging each other.

After the third quarter, it was garbage time again, and the outside world exclaimed that they couldn't understand the Spurs.

In the past, after the winning streak, a lot of games had to be played until the last moment, but now I clock in and get off work after three quarters, which is really bad.
