The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 53 Fighting the Rockets Again
In the game against the Rockets, Zhang Xiaotian is ready to exert his strength.

Especially after the first quarter, he became even more confident. Parsons' skills are comprehensive, but he can still withstand the strength and speed. Compared with those core players, the opponent is obviously a lower level.

As long as the opportunity comes, he can definitely perform well.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. What he didn't expect was that the Rockets couldn't help but blame the Spurs for being too strong.

Before it was his turn to break out of the small universe, the game was over.

Yes, the team led by 20+ in three quarters, and the main players clocked out again.

Not only them, the Rockets also gave up early and did not try to make a comeback.

Maybe it's because they didn't get used to it. The Rockets made all kinds of big moves in the summer, but the results so far are not satisfactory.

Zhang Xiaotian sadly only scored 6 points, which is actually not bad. Parsons he defended only scored 6 points, and Jeremy Lin only scored 4 points.

Well, the main actors are really not them, and the fans are also disappointed in various ways.

After the Rockets and Spurs had no time to rest, they went directly to Charlotte to play back-to-back.

The Bobcats' new head is already a sophomore Kemba Walker. Their main lineup is very young, with two sophomore rookies and two first-year rookies. Zhang Xiaotian's opponent is this year's No. [-] pick Michael Gilchrist.

This is a great opportunity to test his quality. In the same position, a second place pick and a former undrafted pick.

Gilchrist defended fiercely, and in an interview before the game, he expressed that he was not afraid of Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian also intends to fight hard, facing the high draft and the same position, such opportunities are rare, and after the fight, he might be able to weigh his position among the rookies.

The two fought each other defensively from the very beginning, and when they didn't have the ball, it was like wrestling, as if they were not the same sport as others.

As a result, both of them scored only 2 points in the first quarter.

It's not accurate to say that half and half, Kemba Walker took half of the shots on the Bobcats side, and Gilchrist had no chance.

The key is that it was useless for him to hold Zhang Xiaotian to death. The Spurs hit 7 three-pointers in the first quarter, Parker made 1, Danny Green made 3, and Ginobili made 3.

The Spurs led by 9 points in the first quarter, and scored 6 three-pointers in the second quarter, and Zhang Xiaotian also scored one.

It's just that at this time, the game seems to have no suspense.

By the third quarter, the Spurs had already led by more than 30 points, and it was time for the two teams to come on the bench. Zhang Xiaotian and Gilchrist just cared about consuming each other. The game was over before the offensive end had time to perform.

Seven Spurs scored in double figures, but Zhang Xiaotian was missing.

Those sunspots don't care what he does, they only look at the statistics, playing the main force like this, what does it mean, it means it's useless, obviously they don't even have the level of a substitute.

"Can't play in front of weak teams, the Spurs must give up early."

Wu Li, who has always been steadfast in his criticism of Zhang Xiaotian, swiped his pen and forcefully justified it, which aroused a large number of sunspots to resonate.

Zhang Xiaotian is not angry now, more black fans show that he is very popular.

The next game is to play the Rockets away, so Zhang Xiaotian's lack of performance has also aroused the topic.

Satisfied, Wu Li despised Zhang Xiaotian and Jeremy Lin together on social media. He is a so-called expert who has become popular because of his popularity. No matter how many people scold him, if someone pays attention, he will make money.

He also vowed to make a bet that if Zhang Xiaotian and Jeremy Lin can score 20 points, he will eat the keyboard.

All of a sudden, the wind of gambling flourished, and there were more and more people who ate Xiang Xiang.

"Don't you respond, don't let me see this ugly man, or I will definitely hit him with a shoe."

Yang Feiyu was furious, but Zhang Xiaotian looked extremely calm, "What are you doing responding to? Don't you want to make him more popular? I don't bother with this kind of villain. Who knows how to play tricks? If you have the ability to single out."

"Actually, you should still be angry, why don't we open a trumpet to bet with him, betting dollars."

"Then...not good, others won't bet on trumpets."

"Tch, I can see that you are a hypocrite."

Zhang Xiaotian felt that it was sneaky to talk trash on the court, but in reality he couldn't say that to Yang Feiyu, hmph, hold her down and rub her when the time comes.

The Rockets have just lost a losing streak. They lost to the Mavericks earlier, and they need to prove themselves when they return home. They can't be the bottom of the top three in Texas.

There are still Grizzlies in the Southwest, and the Rockets are having a hard time.

And their head star Harden sprained his foot and could not play in this game.

The Rockets at home began to bloom more and took the lead. Duncan didn't feel very good this time, and the Spurs' offense quickly turned to the outside.

After the first two games, Zhang Xiaotian has tried to attack more in training. Although the effect is not very satisfactory, the momentum is different.

After he made a shot fake on his first touch, he immediately headed into Parsons and killed him.

Parsons misexpected his reaction and was fouled by Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian made two free throws, and his performance also surprised his teammates a little. He usually played well in the first three quarters, and soon he attacked so toughly.

Parsons, feeling insulted, also added isolation to the offense.

Unlike the Spurs, the Rockets Harden is not on the court, and Parsons has more opportunities to shoot.

The shot outside the three-point line was interfered by Zhang Xiaotian, but he made two shots when he rushed in.

After scoring the goal, he felt a little complacent, "Well, we are still a little different."

"Let's say this when you lose less." Being in a strong team is tough, and Zhang Xiaotian is never afraid of confrontation.

"Are you admitting that I'm not as good as me?" Parsons was a little annoyed, but felt a little depreciated after saying it.

Zhang Xiaotian smiled slightly, "The front is not horizontal, if there is still a chance to play in the fourth quarter, I will let you see what is the means to win."

He didn't dare to talk about it, and he still played any kind of ball, and it wasn't a human-machine game.

The last time the Spurs played at home, the Spurs' substitutes took the lead. When they came to Houston, the Rockets' substitutes did not disappoint. Tony Douglas and Marcus Morris made consecutive hits after they came on the court, helping the home team stabilize the lead.

But soon, the Rockets' defense exposed problems. Parker and Ginobili broke through consecutively, almost sifting the opponent's defense.

Zhang Xiaotian took the opportunity to score 5 points in a row, and Parsons' face turned green.

Compared with the concentration of defense, Zhang Xiaotian is stronger, and it is also related to the continuous breakthrough of the two guards of the Spurs. Parsons has to play singles if he wants to regain his face, and he only needs to get a foul after playing three times.

Seeing that the Spurs were going to turn back, Jeremy Lin suddenly broke out, hit two three-pointers in a row, broke through, fouled and assisted. The ball was in his hands, and Lin Madness finally returned.

Zhang Xiaotian's fighting spirit was also completely ignited.
