The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 435 Son
Zhang Xiaotian prefers to play in the All-Star Game. Before he entered the league, he was very envious of the stars who could perform in the All-Star Game, so he didn't understand those guys who didn't want to play.

Several stars in the West feel good about him this time, including the host of course.

The key is because of his passing. Although it seems that his passing is ordinary, he has a good shooting touch after receiving the ball, which greatly improves the evaluation of other All-Stars.

But this time he didn't fight for the MVP. Anthony Davis, as the host, also took the initiative rarely.

Of course, Westbrook still does his own thing, but he keeps a straight face and not many people support him, so in the end the All-Star MVP still falls into the hands of Anthony Davis.

After the game, Anthony Davis said he was very excited to win this honor at his home court.

"It feels great, especially to represent my team in the All-Star Game at our door. I discussed it with my teammates before the game, and I told them that this MVP means a lot to me. I I want to win this trophy for my city and my fans. My teammates told me from the beginning that I should get 50 points. During the game, they kept reminding me how many points were left, James even joked that he would pass me the ball."

Zhang Xiaotian also feels that in the era when everyone can get a big contract, there is a lot of harmony among players.

It is estimated that it is difficult for those hearsay players to fight against the All-Stars in the past.

After that, he didn't stay any longer, the key was going home to accompany his wife.

The friendship between players is enough, as long as it is strong enough, don't worry that no one is willing to cooperate.

After this period of truce, Gasol is finally coming back.

In the first game after the All-Star Game, the Spurs will play away against the Clippers, and Gasol will play off the bench.

The top four teams in the West have their own characteristics. Although the Clippers are at the bottom, they are more dangerous to the Spurs.

The advantages of the first position, the advantage of the substitute, and the advantage of the inside line, the Clippers are enough to target the Spurs, but Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard on the front line can also blow them up.

In the first quarter of the game, the scene was different from the script. It was originally thought to be a confrontation of attacking each other's weaknesses, but it turned into a fight with iron. It may be that the All-Star Weekend was too exciting.

However, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard are still more stable than others, so the Spurs are leading.

During the rotation period, the Spurs did not lag behind when the Clippers Jr. Rivers showed his power, which really benefited from Gasol's comeback.

Gasol felt very high after playing, and even hit three-pointers again and again.

The point is, his rebounds are also well protected, maybe he has been upgraded after being injured for a while.

Clippers coach Doc Rivers was annoyed at the fact that the team was behind halftime and even in rebounds. Why did the team rebuild after several seasons without achieving the desired results? Lose the passion to fight.

The current Clippers are at a similar stage, and they will retreat when encountering a strong confrontation.

In fact, the players are also dissatisfied. They seldom criticize themselves, but instead think that their teammates are not doing enough.

Under the scolding of the head coach, the Clippers, who played again in the third quarter, had a much better mental outlook.

Especially Griffin, he is a fourth position with strong singles ability.

Aldridge couldn't stand it, and the middle distance he relied on for survival was a bit confusing.

It is rare for the Spurs to make adjustments within 3 minutes of playing and replace Gasol.

A few minutes later, the team replaced the substitute players one after another, so that the Clippers did not turn the score over.

Popovich started to make some new attempts this time. He asked Parker to work with substitute players and partner with his old buddy Ginobili. Now it seems that the effect is still good.

Mills is better for three-pointers, and sometimes his partner in the main lineup will be miraculously effective.

The outside line of the Spurs came alive, while the Clippers played more and more inside.

They don't seem to be able to combine the inside and outside lines well now, which makes them not smooth enough on the offensive end.

Griffin has organizational skills, and when he is in good shape, he will grab Paul's job. The two of them are far less in sync with each other than before.

But even Griffin alone is not a small threat to the Spurs. After all, he has organizational skills.

Part of his threat comes from Jordan next to him. Only Griffin, the Spurs have many ways to limit him and make him helpless on the offensive end.

At this time, the Spurs' response was to attack the opponent from the outside.

The Clippers' outside line has been blocked by them. With Zhang Xiaotian around, it is easy to make some fuss on the outside line on the offensive end.

"Push up, drive him in, don't let him pass the ball so easily."

Rivers couldn't help roaring on the sidelines. Both father and son got high salaries in the Clippers. It should have been the most energetic time, but the state of the team made him inexplicably irritable.

In the Clippers, he got a lot of power. If he loses all this, he probably won't be able to continue to be an ordinary coach.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult.

After Zhang Xiaotian used 2 minutes in the final quarter to bring the team's lead to double digits, the Spurs and Clippers played separately.

Paul and Griffin have shown the characteristics of making mistakes in the final quarter, allowing the Spurs to easily maintain their advantage.

And Dedmon's three blocks made the Clippers completely lose their confidence in chasing points. In the last 3 minutes, the Clippers also replaced a half-substitute lineup and ended the game without much struggle.

After playing against the Clippers, Zhang Xiaotian left the team and took the initiative to choose a rotation. The team's other opponent in Los Angeles, the Lakers, will not play.

There is nothing wrong with his body, but his wife is about to give birth.

Compared to playing on the court, it is obviously more important to accompany my wife in this kind of thing.

In the high-end private hospital, Zhang Dajun felt more nervous than his son. Just as Zhang Xiaotian wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere, he was knocked by the old man.

Yang Feiyu's physique is good, and she has undergone various examinations before, and with the current medical technology, there will be no problem, although Zhang Xiaotian is also very nervous.

More than an hour later, the cry of a child was finally heard in the delivery room.

Zhang Xiaotian went in and saw Yang Feiyu crying with the child, he felt a sense of happiness in his heart, he also has a son, and his wife is awesome.

It's a wrinkled little boy with Yang Feiyu's eyes, very beautiful.

There happened to be no competition for the next two days, so Zhang Xiaotian also took good care of his wife and son.

On social media, many fans wished them well, and Yang Feiyu was encouraged to recover quickly.
