The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 46

Zhang Xiaotian dribbled the ball into the opponent's half, and his teammates and the opponent's defense became farther and farther away in his eyes.

He finally understands why some stars only have the basket in their eyes. With strength and extreme self-confidence, his defense is as weak as paper. He feels that he can shoot anywhere.

Chasing the body for a three-pointer, without any hesitation, he raised the knife and dropped it, and the basketball went into the net hollowly.

DeRozan felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. When he caught up, he saw Zhang Xiaotian's sharp eyes, like a beast that chooses to eat people.

He wants to break the chill, but obviously he is still a little tender now, and the Raptors' offense DeRozan has hit the iron again.

The Raptors did not give up, and Valanciunas scored again.

But then Parker also hit a shot, and Parker also looked chilled, unable to see who it was aimed at.

The time of overtime passed quickly, 13.6 seconds, 97:93, the Raptors suspended the final attack.

The ball was still in DeRozan's hands. At this time, Zhang Xiaotian must also guard against him for a three-pointer. He is still considering whether he should guard against the opponent's entry if the opponent breaks through.

DeRozan is still not stupid, he just attracts defense, although he doesn't attract any defense.

He sat inside for a while, and Zhang Xiaotian immediately took a step back, allowing the opponent to enter the three-point line.

Half the time has passed, and Kyle Lowry hurried over to catch the ball under the cover of his teammates.

He dribbled a few steps after the catch and nearly blocked his options.

Zhang Xiaotian really wanted to pinch, but Lowry went to the other side after receiving the ball, almost pressing the time to make a shot. The ball bounced on the basket and fell into it. The second overtime.

No one expected to play to this level. This is already a test of the mental quality of the players. As long as whoever makes a mistake first, the balance of victory and defeat will immediately tilt.

Some players with long playing time have exceeded 40 minutes, and Zhang Xiaotian has also exceeded 35 minutes.

Physical strength, willpower, and focus may all be the key to victory or defeat.

"Share the ball, trust your teammates, strictly implement tactics, and win the game." Popovich said seriously.

Duncan was unambiguous at the critical moment and won the Spurs the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't think about Popovich's consciousness just now, it was already the second overtime, and he had no other thoughts in his mind except to win the game.

He pretended to slip the bottom line, but it was a counter-run to get rid of DeRozan.

DeRozan consumed so much that he couldn't keep up with Zhang Xiaotian at this time.

Duncan, who received it from the inside, passed the ball without hesitation, and Zhang Xiaotian made another three-pointer.

The Raptors chose to let Bargnani take the shot, because only he has a high advantage and more chances.

Then Bargnani still felt cold and hit the iron continuously.

The Spurs took advantage of the opportunity and Parker hit another two points. DeRozan must stand up as the core of the Raptors.

In the second overtime game, the situation was simpler than imagined. The three players with the best touch on the Raptors had exhausted their physical strength, and they had no choice but to rely on DeRozan to play singles.

DeRozan has played almost 50 minutes. Under Zhang Xiaotian's strict defense, he only got one free throw in the end, and he only made one free throw because of his physical decline.

马刺最后111:106拿下了比赛，张小天拿下15分10篮板的两双，不过比起帕克的30+5+5有些不显眼。

But compared to Zhang Xiaotian who was a little depressed, Parker was even more upset.

Fortunately, they won the game in the end. Otherwise, the two might have conflicts. The rest is nothing. Parker was uncomfortable because Zhang Xiaotian chose to ignore his request for the ball after taking off the rebound in the backcourt.

Whether it is the status of the team or the position of the players on the field, Zhang Xiaotian's behavior will make people unhappy.

It's just that for Zhang Xiaotian, he is completely selfless.

Back at the hotel, for the first time ever, he took the initiative to talk on the phone with Yang Feiyu for 10 minutes, comforting his slightly injured heart.

But he was amused when his fans yelled at Parker for not passing the ball.

If you regain a good mood and look at it with the mood of a bystander, you will know that there is nothing wrong with it.

Had he been Parker, the choice would have been no different.

During the team's adaptation training on the second day, Duncan and Ginobili winked at him, signaling him to look at Parker who was practicing shooting. Parker's face is not very good-looking now.

As a multinational team, the Spurs have a good team atmosphere. Zhang Xiaotian is very humble when he is not playing, and has a good relationship with several big guys.

Parker has less contact with him, but it's not that he has something to deal with. It's because Parker spends a lot of time with a few French fellows, and Zhang Xiaotian can't understand French even if he gets close to him.

Compared with when he was in school, Zhang Xiaotian's personality is much calmer now, and there will definitely be no conflicts between his teammates. He can play as he likes on the court, and flattering him off the court is nothing. Comfortable.

He ran over to Parker, of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to mention what happened yesterday.

"Boss Tony, Boss Tim, and Boss Manu told me that you have something to explain." Zhang Xiaotian patted his chest, "No matter what it is, just leave it to me, and I will definitely handle it."

Parker glanced at Duncan and Ginobili suspiciously, and the two immediately put on a serious look, not knowing that Zhang Xiaotian had pulled their tiger skins.

Parker also thought that the two were playing tricks, and said angrily, "I want you to kick their asses."

After he finished speaking, he also laughed, remembering that Zhang Xiaotian still respected them as always after breaking two records in a row, and the unhappiness in his heart dissipated immediately.

The team will play back-to-back today, and training means exercising the body.

After playing two overtimes, they flew to Washington again. To be honest, everyone was in a bit of a bad state. Zhang Xiaotian also felt weak all over his body, and he felt better after practicing for a while.

This time their opponent is the Wizards, who have lost 11 games in a row and are now at the bottom of the league.

The Wizards are already in the process of rebuilding. The head star John Wall is still injured in the summer, and the main insider is also injured and can't go wrong.

So when the Spurs were very tired, they were lucky to meet an underdog with no one to play.

The team took the initiative at the beginning of the game. Ginobili and Diaw opened the gap between the two sides to more than 10 points during the rotation time.

In the third quarter, Duncan exerted his strength, and the team led by 20 points.

The Wizards not only have no one to play, they don't even have the idea of ​​winning, and they don't have any momentum at home. It is estimated that they have exported their shadows.

The Spurs took the opportunity to train their troops, and the main players clocked in to rest. The substitutes who hadn't played for a minute before all went to the court to have an addiction. The Spurs also won a winning streak with an advantage of 1 points.

It's just that the away game is not over yet, and Zhang Xiaotian will continue to endure the fatigue of traveling and traveling.
