The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 61 Complete Lineup
The Spurs had an advantage in the first half with ease, but in the third quarter their rhythm was a bit wrong.

The Hornets are youthful and energetic, but this has little to do with it.

Weakness in the third quarter is a common problem for the Spurs this season, mainly because Duncan, the core insider, is getting older.

Generally, at this time, the players start to get tired, and they have to save a certain amount of physical strength for the final decisive battle.

The Spurs can't hold on without Duncan inside, and the offense will be affected if the inside is suppressed.

Fortunately, the Hornets themselves couldn't play an explosive offense, and the Spurs still held on to their first-half lead by relying on defense.

In the last quarter, the Hornets eliminated the center from the lineup and began to speed up.

Anthony Davis can run, and they also chased the score to within 10 points with a small lineup.

After playing for more than three minutes in the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian finally played again.

He didn't get the ball in the first round, the Hornets attacked, and he ran very aggressively against Anderson without the ball.

Anderson weaves his way around the crowd, catch-and-shoot.

His shooting point is not high, but he is tall and fast, making it difficult to guard against.

Zhang Xiaotian was already prepared, and Anderson walked around half a circle in the crowd without getting rid of him.

The shot was intervened, and the sound of the ball being thrown was particularly crisp.

After Zhang Xiaotian interfered with the shot, he immediately turned around and grabbed the rebound, as if he was sure that Anderson would not make the shot. After Anderson reacted, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch.

Shooting is his unique skill, how could he be despised by a rookie.

After Zhang Xiaotian won the backcourt rebound, he directly launched a counterattack, and he also held his breath and was extremely murderous.

Anderson just stretched out his hand and was passed by Zhang Xiaotian, and the defense was not much different from paper.

The little Rivers from behind quickly greeted him, he was a little confident, and waited for Zhang Xiaotian to start hitting the basket before jumping up to block the shot.

Is Rivers Jr. still planning to fuck him hard with his body, or when he rushes up?Zhang Xiaotian didn't even dodge, he just knocked people into the air and smashed the ball into the basket.

The referee's whistle sounded in time, 2+1.

Little Rivers was lying on the floor with a face full of disbelief. He was knocked out of the two-meter referee and praised him. Is there any human touch?

He was very dissatisfied, and turned around and played a brainless single, and then he was replaced by their head coach Monty Williams very upset.

Zhang Xiaotian is not used to defending tall and long arms, but there is a premise that he has good physical fitness to hold the ball and play well. He is not afraid of a big pitcher like Anderson.

Come on, let's fight hand to hand, don't even think about the chance of being open, if you have the ability, just face him and make a strong shot.

Anderson was also angered by Zhang Xiaotian, but Zhang Xiaotian was faster than him, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't stop Zhang Xiaotian when the Spurs attacked.

Soon Leonard was replaced on the court again, and the Spurs finally ushered in a lineup of one big and four small with strong ability to block the outside line.

Danny Green, Leonard, and Zhang Xiaotian can defend alone, and it doesn't matter what kind of defense they have.

This lineup can completely keep up with the speed of the opponent and has offensive power. The Hornets can only rely on Davis for singles. Davis is very threatening. It is not easy for the Spurs to defend him, but relying on him wants to catch up with the score. ,That is impossible.

After Zhang Xiaotian played, he scored 6 points and sent 1 assist. The lead of the Spurs came to more than 10 points again, and the time was running out, and the hope of the Hornets' reversal was getting smaller and smaller.

When the time entered the last 4 minutes, Ginobili came on the court, and Zhang Xiaotian returned to the bench.

This is revenge. Zhang Xiaotian wanted to despise Popovich very much. Now someone uses him to put him, a not-so-obedient player, on the bench. It's just hateful.

But he can only think about it. In the Spurs, Popovich is at the level of a big devil, so he can't do it hard.

At the last moment, Davis showed his soft touch, and guard Greivis Vasquez also made consecutive hits, but it was too late. Leonard made two free throws after a steal to seal the victory.

The losing streak seems to have been a long time, and the Spurs won again.

Christmas is coming, and there is no Spurs in the Christmas game. They only need to fight one more time and they can go back to celebrate the holiday with peace of mind.

And there is no need to go to the away game, just wait for the Mavericks from the same district to come over at home.

The Mavericks have not been idle this summer. They brought in OJ-Mayo, Darren Collison, Chris Kaman, Elton Brand and a large group of young and veteran players. Skater can only play the sixth man.

However, their results are not good, which has a lot to do with Nowitzki still recuperating from his injuries, but Nowitzki's comeback in this game is considered to be before Christmas.

For the Spurs, Zhang Xiaotian returned to the bench. During this period of time, his status has improved slightly. He is the seventh man behind the sixth man Ginobili, and his status often improves at the end of the game.

Nuo Tianwang did not start, and the Mavericks' main lineup played very hard.

The Spurs easily took the lead, and Danny Green seized the opportunity to hit consecutive three-pointers.

When Zhang Xiaotian came on the court, his opponent was Jae Crowder, a rookie who hadn't yet developed an offense.

He also played very easily, because the team's advantage is obvious.

I have to admit that Leonard does have two brushes. The Mavericks' starting striker is just a role player, trembling under Leonard's long arms.

This can’t be learned. Long arms are a physical talent. Even Zhang Xiaotian’s judgment is as correct as Leonard’s in defense. His arms are not so long and he can’t steal as easily as him.

This guy has already had 5 steals in the third quarter, and the point difference between the two sides is also rushing to 40 points.

Zhang Xiaotian scored a few points on the field and felt that it was boring. After scoring in double figures, he was also replaced. Both sides were replaced with lineups that were usually difficult to play.

129:91, the Spurs abused their old rival Mavericks.

The outside world exclaimed that the Spurs with a well-organized lineup are too terrifying and almost invincible.

As for the analysis of comparing Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, it is meaningless. You must know that in internal training, Zhang Xiaotian has always been the one who was abused.

On Zhang Xiaotian's social media, he received a lot of blessings from fans, which made him feel like he was thinking about it.

He can also be nervous, because he officially brought his girlfriend home for the holidays.

"What does your family eat for Christmas, do you eat turkey?"

"Our family is very free. Everyone can report what they like. The old man probably wants to eat dumplings."

"Well, it's different from what I imagined. The bottle of red wine I chose can probably be paired with dumplings."

"You can order whatever you want. It's okay to add a turkey So Easy and a strong man."

Yang Feiyu turned her face sideways on the co-pilot and licked her tongue, with all kinds of flair, "Okay, I want to see how strong this man is."
