The strongest champion puzzle

Chapter 90
With the loss of four generals, although the Spurs did not deliberately release water, it is the fact.

The twelve players that Popovich took over all had a good time, but the most enjoyable one was Rubio of the Timberwolves.

In fact, the Timberwolves are really full of wounded soldiers, and they are in a state of seeing who loses.

The Spurs sent warmth, and they were generous. Rubio scored a triple-double and led the team to play smoothly, beating the Spurs by 24 points.

Conspiracy theory guys, see clearly, the Spurs are still number one in the Western Conference after losing.

It is not easy for Zhang Xiaotian to stay in San Antonio. He also occasionally helps Zhang Zhangyan with some young people that Eddie is caring about, but more importantly, he is helping Yang Feiyu make a very critical decision.

"Where there is a will, there is a way. Failure is the mother of success. If it really doesn't work, let's quit this time. Maybe you will succeed next time."

Yang Feiyu rolled around on the sofa, "I'm really not reconciled."

"Hmm... do you have the confidence to continue, or I will invest in you." Zhang Xiaotian said tentatively.

In fact, he doesn't know anything about Yang Feiyu's app, and the main thing is to see if this guy wants to continue doing it.

"No, now that it's over, I can still sell some money. After all, I have developed a lot of registered users during this period of time. If I spend money in it, I guess I will be heavily in debt, and I will not be able to pay off even if I sell myself."

"Hey, actually I mean to buy you now, I just need a little maid."

"Ah, I'm so sorry, you still bully me." Yang Feiyu rolled on the sofa again, and then accidentally fell to the ground with a thud.

Two bags fell out, and Zhang Xiaotian was suddenly unlucky, and the angry woman always vented her anger in various ways.

In the end, he made a delicious meal with his own hands, and Yang Feiyu laughed through his tears, and then said very unconscionably: "Forget it, the money I lost is not mine, and the money at home should be the dowry they gave me in advance. "

The team returned to the home court again. Except for Parker who is still recovering from his ankle, everyone else must have returned.

It was the Mavericks who came to challenge them. Because of Nowitzki's injury in the first half, they are still working hard for the top eight in the West.

To be honest, the Mavericks' lineup is not bad, but they are a bit older, and the lineup is often disorganized due to injuries. OJ-Mayo, who is playing in his prime, is an all-around fighter based on statistics, but in fact he has no team leader. ability.

Marion couldn't play, and the rookie Jay Crowder who replaced him was obviously not Leonard's opponent.

However, even if the Mavericks lineup is not complete, there are still many people who can play, and there are Carter, Darren Collison and others on the bench.

Unlike being beaten at the beginning of the season, the Mavericks who have recovered their blood are now much stronger.

The key is Nowitzki. At the beginning of the game, the two old opponents Nowitzki and Duncan have back and forth.

However, apart from the fact that Parker is not able to play the No. [-] position, the Spurs are still relatively stable in the main lineup. The combination of Nowitzki and Kaman is high enough, but it is older than the Spurs' inside combination. It is older than Nowitzki and Duncan.

In the first half of the game, the Spurs obviously played more easily. If the Mavericks' substitute players had good scoring ability, they would not only be behind by 9 points.

The oldest Duncan dominated the inside and got a double-double in the first half.

To be honest, when Duncan is physically strong, he can almost produce [-]% of his peak power.

Against the 36-year-old Carter, Zhang Xiaotian was also very excited. Carter, who was born as a dunk, probably no one would have expected that he could play in the league for so long.

Although Carter's body is not as strong as when he was young, his shooting is more stable and his defense is good. He occasionally dunks.

Zhang Xiaotian likes to watch Carter dunk, but when he is facing off, he will try his best and will not give the opponent a chance.

Carter was also depressed by being chased by Zhang Xiaotian for physical confrontation. Originally, he didn't need to play as a guest striker. Why did the team not have enough manpower now?

In the second half, the Mavericks strengthened their perimeter defense. As for Duncan, they believed that Duncan couldn't last that long, but after a few days of adjustments, the old Shifo could really make the Mavericks call his father, scoring 12 points in a single quarter.

In fact, the Mavericks' strategy is not wrong. Without Parker on the outside, the Spurs' ability to tear apart the defense has indeed dropped a lot.

Now the Spurs' No. [-] position, Popovich's principle is to let whoever is in good condition play more. It is not necessarily a purely open position, because Ginobili also has organizational skills.

Gary Neal, who was favored in this game, Zhang Xiaotian found that the Spurs' guard line was more competitive than the striker line, and he, a swingman like forward guard, basically would not have the opportunity to swing to the guard line.

The Mavericks reduced Kaman's weight in the second half, he was too slow, and Brandon White was more often partnered with Nowitzki.

This combination has a longer shooting range, and the Spurs have some troubles on the defensive end. Once the score was approaching, the Spurs were forced to use one big and four small in advance, if Diaw is also considered small.

In the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian made a mid-range shot after catching the ball, but Carter hit a three-pointer when he came back.

Zhang Xiaotian originally thought that with the addition of skills, he could completely restrain the old Carter, because he also restrained the old Carter well in the first three quarters, but he did not expect that it was not only him who exerted strength in the final quarter, Carter also suddenly rejuvenated.

The principle is that the opponent has not tried his best in front of him. The veteran is indeed very wise, but he is also a little sad. This shows that he, like Duncan, has no physical strength to fight all the way.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't have time to sigh, as an opponent, he had to concentrate and not give the old guy a chance to get mad.

Dirk Nowitzki also felt good in the final quarter, but today Duncan is already very strong. With Duncan tossing inside, Zhang Xiaotian got a good chance on the outside.

Without Parker, when Ginobili, who has no rotation on the court, feels a little bad, Zhang Xiaotian is the best choice to tear apart the opponent's perimeter defense.

Zhang Xiaotian is not a player with very good skills, but he uses his skills well, with appropriate skills plus speed and strength. Zhang Xiaotian squeezed directly past Carter, and then premeditatedly passed the ball back. Gary Neal Catch the ball and hit a three-pointer.

The premise for the Mavericks to chase points is that no one outside the Spurs can tear apart the defense. Zhang Xiaotian's efforts immediately disrupted their defensive system.

Then Zhang Xiaotian assisted Leonard to hit a three-pointer, and the score gap between the two sides widened to 6 points again.

Unlike before, there is not much time until the end of the game.

The Mavericks didn't have many choices. Carter stood up to take responsibility and made three consecutive three-point shots. Unfortunately, under Zhang Xiaotian's strict defense, he only hit one.

Nowitzki finally hit two points in close defense, but time was running out.
