The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 70

The Spurs had a relatively easy schedule in January, returning to San Antonio after the Grizzlies.

The friends in the fan group are organizing face-to-face again. Although Zhang Xiaotian's vote count is hopeless for All-Stars, they feel that it is necessary to make the vote count look better. In fact, they just want to make a date.

Zhang Xiaotian sent him the photos of the party in rumors, pretending to be too busy to win.

He only speaks occasionally, he is a non-important person, and others let him go.

The little friends on the other side of the ocean plan to organize a big event when these people go back, and they are very active with tigers in their hearts.

The rookie game has been confirmed. He and Leonard will participate together, and the official announcement is just a matter of.

Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help telling the fans in the form of gossip, seeing a group of people actively discussing, he felt a little embarrassed.

"What are you doing there?" Zhang Xiaotian sent a message.

"You came back, but I went out. After expressing love, I'm bored and tired."

In order to promote, Yang Feiyu went on a business trip to discuss cooperation, and when she started her business, she was in a hurry.

"I've decided that after the company gets on the right track, I won't work in winter, and I won't work in summer... and I can work overtime in spring and autumn."

Before replying, Yang Feiyu sent another message, Zhang Xiaotian deleted the previous content with a smile, and replied: "Then I have also decided, I will retire after I get a few big contracts, and I will not work in spring, summer, autumn and winter, haha Ha ha!"

Yang Feiyu sent a series of contemptuous symbols, and a soft voice came from the voice, "I miss you, human-shaped hot water bottle."

"Okay, bed warmer."

Back at home, the opponent the Spurs will face is the Timberwolves who are playing soy sauce in the West.

Timberwolves' general Kevin Love was injured, which further damaged their already weak strength, although Kevin Love's record was not good when he led the team.

In the absence of Love, Timberwolves' insider Nikola Pekovic actually played well, and Kirilenko, who was recruited in the summer, also maintained his standard, but the team lacked key offensive power.

The Spurs began with Parker taking the lead, suppressing the opponent all the time, leading slowly in the front, and in the fourth quarter Zhang Xiaotian played a few times in a row, and the Timberwolves completely jumped.

Popovich happily practiced the bench, allowing the main players to increase the rest time.

In the end, the team beat the opponent 106:88. After this game, they had two more days to recover, and they did not play against the Grizzlies at home until the 16th.

The fourth match between the two sides this season did not continue the previous anxiety. The Spurs, who were full of energy and were waiting for work at home, directly beat the opponent into a dog and won 103:82.

Rudy Gay was locked up by Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian in the second half, which disappointed Lionel Hollins.

On the 18th, the All-Star lineup finally came out. Parker and Duncan were selected as substitutes, and Popovich was the head coach of the Western All-Star team.

The bosses of the team are already familiar with the All-Stars, Leonard is also participating in the rookie game for the second time, only Zhang Xiaotian is more excited, but he has to pretend to be as calm as everyone else, which makes him uncomfortable.

On the same day, they had to meet the challenge of the Warriors at home. After the Warriors sent away Monta Ellis and established Stephen Curry as the core, they suddenly changed from being weak to a strong contender in the Western Conference. People are very surprised.

In addition to Curry, the second-year rookie Klay Thompson has also made great progress, so that they did not affect their record even when the main center Andrew Bogut was injured, and just surpassed the Grizzlies to become fourth in the West.

It's a pity that Curry didn't come because of a minor injury when he went to San Antonio.

However, there are still gimmicks in the game between the two teams. This year's second-round pick Draymond Green said carelessly that the team's main third position and this year's first-round pick Harrison Barnes is the best rookie. Strong number three.

The rookies of this season, in addition to the No. [-] pick Davis, the unexpectedly powerful Lillard, and there is no shortage of talents at the small forward position. Zhang Xiaotian is a sudden rise, but Harrison Barnes has been favored from the beginning. He is also in the Warriors. Well done.

It can be said that the current record of the Warriors is entirely achieved by a few young people.

At the beginning of the game, the Warriors with an uneven lineup put tremendous pressure on the Spurs.

Although Duncan was unstoppable inside, Klay Thompson of the Warriors kept hitting three-pointers and overwhelmed the Spurs from the start.

However, the Warriors still have flaws inside, and David Lee is a colander.

Relying on Duncan and Splitter, the Spurs almost played the twin tower tactics of the year, and steadily pulled the score back in the second quarter.

Because the opponent is short of major generals, it is almost a seven-man rotation. Zhang Xiaotian also matched up with Harrison Barnes. He is a very good player, but he lacks aggressiveness and does not like physical confrontation. He is not as good as the daily sparring Leonard.

It was Draymond Green's big mouth that impressed him even more, giving him a feeling of facing Artest, of course it was just brute force.

This kid is a guy who dares to do it hard, but he is still inexperienced. Zhang Xiaotian talked trash with him for ten minutes, and then committed four fouls on him.

Draymond Green gritted his teeth when he was substituted.

At the end of the quarter, the Spurs sent Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard and Danny Green to defend against the Warriors' main players on the offensive end, David Lee and Klay Thompson, and finally pressed the opponent to death. Living.

At the last moment, the Warriors put all Bao on the three-pointer, and the Spurs certainly would not give the opponent any chance.

In this game, Harrison Barnes scored 4 points, Zhang Xiaotian scored 14 points, and the Spurs won. Although the Spurs have thighs and the two have not been facing each other all the time, but Zhang Xiaotian is better, I believe no one will object.

Of course, Barnes himself did not speak, but Draymond Green was still very angry after the game, thinking that the Spurs had the home court advantage, and he would definitely lock Zhang Xiaotian next time.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't care about what the other party said at all. Seriously speaking, although they were all rookies in the new season, they were not in the same class. Zhang Xiaotian had no intention of competing with the rookies.

After finally entering the highest hall of professional basketball, of course, it is exciting to compete with those famous players, even if it is only for a few minutes.

It just so happens that he has already had sex with those powerful small forwards in the league, and it's cool to be abused. When he used to shine in front of the TV, he just dreamed of all this.

Halfway through the schedule, the Spurs have already surpassed the Thunder and the Clippers to reach the top of the Western Conference again. They are also number one in the league. Zhang Xiaotian is ambitious.
