The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 74 An Easy Schedule

The Spurs beat the Suns 108:99 at home. Beasley's 25 points and 6 rebounds are indeed very impressive, but his contribution to the team is not as good as Ginobili's 20 points and Zhang Xiaotian's 12 points.

Because the Spurs won, the truth of competitive sports is victory and defeat.

Well, maybe biased, but that's about it.

After playing the Suns, the Spurs can also rest for a few days. Zhang Xiaotian and Yang Feiyu went for a walk on the street after a long absence.

Originally, it was just Zhang Xiaotian who was busy. After the two established a relationship, Yang Feiyu also became busy. Life is like this, there will always be some difficulties.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't exaggerate so much here, it was just that Yang Feiyu's family urged her to go back, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon on the other side of the ocean.

Except for Zhang Xiaotian's reluctance, the development of Mr. Yang's company has been much smoother than expected. When she asked her family for money, Miss Yang boasted about Haikou. No one on both sides of the Pacific can fight. She feels a little guilty when she returns to her current results. .

"Ah, only the bag can heal my wounded heart." Yang Feiyu covered her head and wailed.

"No problem." Zhang Xiaotian took out a credit card as if conjuring, "I just applied for it, so just swipe whichever bag you like."

"That's not good, you look like you want to support me with a smirk on your face."

Zhang Xiaotian put his arms around his girlfriend's waist, "You've already said that, if I don't support you, wouldn't it appear that I'm not a domineering president?"

"Then what do you want, I'll buy it for you too. Look... I have five credit cards." Yang Feiyu said pitifully, shaking her empty wallet.

"Uh, I just want to find a warm place to have a good meal, you can solve it quickly."

"Ding, a good person card, don't worry, I'll take care of you when I get rich. It doesn't matter if you get kicked by the team then, the CEO position of our family is always vacant for you."

Zhang Xiaotian was speechless, "Your family's executive president is what you want to eat and use your cooking skills to execute it."

Yang Feiyu blinked her big eyes. This guy is not young, but he likes to pretend to be tender.

The Spurs' last game in January was at home against the Bobcats, a team centered around sophomore Kemba Walker, and no matter how legendary their owner was, they were a bad rebuilding team.

What makes Zhang Xiaotian a little upset is that Michael Gilchrist, who hurt him last time, was beaten by Leonard this time.

Whether Leonard's offense is not strong depends on who he compares with. He has obviously exceeded the league average.

The Spurs suppressed the opponent from the beginning of the game, and almost made the opponent surrender in the second quarter.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Zhang Xiaotian blew up another rookie striker of the opponent this year, Jeffrey Taylor, giving the team a lead of more than 20 points.

Popovich smiled evilly, and immediately started his training journey.

Then they will have two more days off, and they are still at home. Compared with the hard work at the beginning of the season, the schedule during this period is really comfortable.

Zhang Xiaotian feels that his body has fully adapted to the rhythm of professional basketball, and because of the systematic strength training, his confrontation ability has also improved slightly.

In this case, there is no need to consume stamina potions, and he can feel at ease by keeping victory points as cards.

Getting the system is his good luck, but his own strength is the foundation of everything, Zhang Xiaotian will never mess around and waste this luck.

The time came to February, and the No. 2 Spurs played against the Wizards at home.

A rebuilding team has to live with the pain, no matter how long it lasts.

The Wizards bet on John Wall, and Zhang Xiaotian lost the No. [-] pick that year, but by this time, the Wizards still hadn't played.

This season they drafted the star-like Bradley Beal again, but Bill is now injured.

Trevor Ariza, recruited in the summer, also failed to meet expectations.

Duncan, whose recuperation has ended for this game, returned, and the Spurs' lineup was once again neat.

Emeka Okafor, the former role model of the Wizards inside, is already a thing of the past. Duncan returns, and Nene can't make any troubles.

The Spurs led the opponent by 10 points in the first quarter. With sufficient physical strength, their defense was almost oppressive. Compared with connecting teams, it may be easier for John Wall to shoot himself.

Zhang Xiaotian met Trevor Ariza on the bench. He didn't understand why the Wizards let a standard 3D player play with the bench. Zhang Xiaotian was very depressed.

However, the opponent's offensive desire is not strong, and it is of no use for the Wizards to chase points.

In this quarter, the Wizards were completely inaccurate, and they were suppressed by the Spurs to score only single digits.

Leading by 25 points at halftime, the Spurs themselves did not expect it.

Popovich did not continue to let Duncan play in the second half, probably because he wanted to deal with it casually and continue to let the main players rest.

The head coach had a good idea, and the players started to waver.

In fact, it also has something to do with the lineup. When Duncan went down, Nene came to life and played very tough inside.

The tough inside John Wall also came alive, making various hits in the mid-range shot.

At the end of the third quarter, I saw that the opponent had chased for more than ten points.

Popovich had to give up the idea of ​​letting the main players clock in and leave work, and everyone except Duncan would rotate normally.

In the last quarter, the Wizards also gave up Okafor, and added defensive forward Chris Singleton, together with Trevor Ariza, together restricted Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, and also aimed at the Spurs.

This target can't be wrong, but the Spurs are still leading by more than ten points, and Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard don't need to explode. The Wizards rely on the attacks of Wall and Nene to kill the Spurs, which is still too naive.

But it may or may not be that they have no one. The Spurs Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard and Danny Green are all there, and the defense can be rotated at any time. Wall's shooting percentage eventually fell.

Within 2 minutes of the game, the opponent still failed to continue to reduce the score. Popovich waved his hand, and the substitute who had been waiting since the first half finally got his wish and went on the field to exercise his muscles.

The outside world has become accustomed to the Spurs' victory.

The controversy over Zhang Xiaotian has also subsided slowly. There is no amazing performance, and the topic will always fade away. A good substitute player is probably the mainstream evaluation of him by the outside world.

"God, you are the best, we will always support you."

Seeing that the fans still supported him as always, Zhang Xiaotian felt that everything was no big deal.

Before going to the away game, Zhang Xiaotian sent Yang Feiyu to the airport, she was going home.

"You must miss me." Yang Feiyu has a bit of a childish personality, and she looks even more pitiful at this time.

Zhang Xiaotian was also a little sad, and just as he was about to have a touching parting, a surprised voice sounded from the side, "Zhang Xiaotian! Are you the god of the Spurs!"
