Chapter 85 Stand Up

The confrontation between Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson did not last long, and the Warriors replaced backup forward Richard Jefferson.

In fact, Richard Jefferson is also a player with an annual salary of tens of millions, but he has not recovered from his injury. Zhang Xiaotian is much easier than facing Klay Thompson.

It's just that Jarrett Jack, the sixth man of the Warriors, was in good condition. He hit Gary Neal a few times in a row.

Zhang Xiaotian has nothing to do about other positions.

Fortunately, the main force came back, and the defense and offense have been upgraded to a higher level, chasing back the lagging score.

In the second half, Duncan and David Lee exploded each other, and Parker also showed his power, but the Warriors played a small lineup, and Carl Landry, who came off the bench, also completed dunks several times.

The score was tangled, both sides reduced their rotations, and Popovich looked like he was going to train in the first half, but at this time, the players turned out to be head-to-head.

The Spurs only led by 1 point in the three quarters, but at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian and Ginobili teamed up to play a 12:2 spurt, which opened up the gap in the score.

The Warriors' defensive system is in a mess. Now whether it is Klay Thompson or Barnes, it is difficult to prevent Zhang Xiaotian from scoring.

But at this time, the Warriors' Curry and Jarrett Jack showed off, and the two succeeded in consecutive long-range shots.

When Zhang Xiaotian went to rest, the Warriors unexpectedly turned the score back abruptly.

Abandoning part of the strong offensive power under the defense, the Warriors' shooting is hard to guard against.

Zhang Xiaotian and Ginobili played again, because in the few minutes just now, the Spurs' offense had some problems, and Danny Green couldn't take the initiative to create offensive opportunities at that point.

When Zhang Xiaotian came on the court, Curry just won another free throw and made two free throws to reverse the score.

At this time, both sides are a senior and a junior, and Zhang Xiaotian is still facing Klay Thompson.

Facing Zhang Xiaotian's rather savage defense, Klay Thompson was speechless. Fortunately, Klay Thompson joked off the court in a serious tone, and the two of them also omitted the trash talk and talked directly in confrontation.

Klay Thompson's defensive footwork is still good, but Zhang Xiaotian still hits a three-pointer after pushing the opponent hard. In the third position, the opponent's confrontation ability is obviously still somewhat insufficient.

In addition, the only insider for the Warriors is David Lee. As long as they go in, they are almost defenseless.

At 88:88, the two sides drew again, and the game came to the final moment.

The Warriors began frequent personnel transfers, using Jack and Landry to play offense, and Draymond Green and Barnes to play defense.

There is no need for the Spurs to do this, Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian are both defensive, and Duncan is on the inside.

After entering the last 2 minutes, the Warriors only had a chance from the outside.

After Curry missed a strong shot from the three-point line, Zhang Xiaotian took the rebound and launched a counterattack.

The lineup of the Warriors is still quite fast. When Zhang Xiaotian came to the opponent's half, there were already people blocking him. He stopped for a while, pretending to wait for his teammates to set up a position, and then suddenly accelerated and killed him again.

Barnes jumped high to block, Zhang Xiaotian threw the ball back, Ginobili caught the ball and started straight away, David Lee saw that he couldn't keep up, so he pulled the ball directly.

David Lee's hands were quite ruthless, and Ginobili was pulled directly to the ground.

However, an old fritter like Ginobili can still protect himself quite well in the end.

It's just that there is still some influence when making free throws, only two free throws and one hit.

In the subsequent offense, Curry made another two-pointer. This is the disadvantage of using Ginobili. He can't keep up with the young people now.

But with Danny Green, the offense is not so guaranteed, Popovich still believes in the old man.

In this game, Parker's touch was mediocre, and Zhang Xiaotian also had more chances on the court.

During the Spurs' offense, Zhang Xiaotian got the ball with his back.

Klay Thompson's strength is not bad, but Zhang Xiaotian is even better after using the skill boost. He sat inside twice, and scored the ball again with a standard turnaround jumper.

Klay Thompson is also a little annoyed with his hips on his hips. His defense should be fine.

The next two teams missed a hit, and the game has come to the last few tens of seconds.

The Warriors requested a timeout and switched to the offensive lineup again.

The ball was handed over to Curry again. After becoming the team leader this season, the young shooter also showed his killer qualities, and Parker didn't dare to be careless at all.

The Spurs' defense was reliable at critical moments, and Curry didn't find a chance for a while.

At this time, the Spurs led by 1 point, and they were about to defend the ball. Curry suddenly burst in. He faced Leonard's help defense and passed the ball in the air. Jack forced a three-pointer.

Jack's Hands The game was so hot, and with 8 seconds left, the Warriors took a 2-point lead.

The Spurs requested a timeout, and the opponent took the opportunity to replace the defensive lineup.

The Spurs' plan is to make two points quickly if they can, and if they can't, they will find a chance to make three points.

The Warriors have been very strict from the moment they received the ball. The Spurs took a safe approach and Duncan came out to receive the ball.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian in the crowd ran back and received a pass from Duncan, and made a shot from outside the three-point line.

Klay Thompson also responded quickly. When Zhang Xiaotian received the ball, he had already rushed in front of Zhang Xiaotian. Raymond Green jumped up to do the same.

There is still a choice, Zhang Xiaotian didn't force it, he went in as soon as he was short, and directly dunked, 93:93, the two sides tied again, with 4 seconds left.

However, the Warriors called too many timeouts just now, and now there is no chance to timeout.

Curry dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and hurriedly shot a three-pointer. The basketball hit the edge of the basket and missed. Overtime.

In the overtime game, Parker started to hit the iron. Fortunately, Leonard got the offensive rebound and handed it to Duncan, and the opponent immediately chose to foul. Duncan made two free throws to help the team take the lead.

But then both Curry and Jack hit again, and Zhang Xiaotian was a little anxious.

Klay Thompson followed him closely. The first few shots of the Spurs were played by Parker and Duncan, which didn't work at all at this time.

"Give it to me, give it to me!" Zhang Xiaotian shouted for the ball.

Parker looked at him with sharp eyes, and the subtext was that if you run away, you will naturally give it. Do you still need your kid to teach you how to play?

But this time, Parker still passed the ball. If Zhang Xiaotian didn't hit the ball and the boss got angry, he might not have a second chance.

Zhang Xiaotian turned around and faced Klay Thompson. Of course he would score this goal.
