Chapter 412: Goals
The team beat the Bucks 106:96, Zhang Xiaotian had 20 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, which was a little bit short of a triple-double.
The scoring was influenced by the old man's experimental lineup, but he supported it this time.
It's not impossible to rely on him and Leonard, but the team's two interior lines can't be scrapped, and when it comes to the most intense playoffs, they can make a difference.
Also, the Spurs are not a team with a bunch of shooters.
Zhang Xiaotian wants to play like James, it is actually impossible, of course, there are still differences between his and James' technical characteristics, and he will gradually combine his technical characteristics with the team's tactical needs to build a championship team.
When the Spurs flew to Minnesota the next day, the lineup was still uneven.
But to say that the strength is a lot weaker, but it is not necessarily, the greatest value of the veteran is the experience and stability of key moments, and it is harmless to miss a few games in the regular season.
The Timberwolves can be said to have made no moves in the summer, and they are still a fish belly team.
Of course, their talented young players have also grown in various ways, Towns, Wiggins, LaVine and others are playing better and better on the offensive end, but unfortunately even if the team brings in Hibodeau, it is still difficult to tell these young players how to win.
At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves actually played well, mainly because the interior combination of Towns and Dieng suppressed the combination of Aldridge and Gasol.
What to say about the Spurs' interior line, you can maneuver with a small lineup, but you can't touch the black and hard.
Technical inside lines are not bad, there is a situation of mutual restraint.
Of course, Downs is not the traditional black and hard, and his advantage is that he is young and in good health.
The key is that the Spurs' current tactics are not to fight the inside line, just contain Towns on the inside.
The other two strong points of the Timberwolves are the tasks of Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard.
This can be regarded as king to king, but there is a gap between the king of the Timberwolves and the Spurs.
However, the Timberwolves still played well in the first half, and unexpectedly reflected in the defense, Aldridge was clean sheet by the opponent, which was also quite painful.
The Spurs' defense is also very good, but the rebounding suffers.
The score looks very tangled, but the Spurs have an advantage, because the Timberwolves' two strong points on the outside were suppressed by Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, and Rubio was deliberately put by the Spurs to weaken the connection between him and other players.
As for Downs, it's enough to lure him outside a little.
The Spurs also suffered rebounding, so they didn't show their advantage in the mode of the score.
It will be different in the second half, the game between the teams in the league, no matter how much information you have in your hands, you have to play to know what is going on.
The form of the players changes, there are a lot of tactics and the first half is a lot of temptation.
And the third quarter is when the coaches of the two teams make moves according to the situation in the first half.
At the same time, it is also a time for the team to adjust, but except for a few strong players, it is basically impossible for ordinary players to make major adjustments in a game.
Therefore, in the second half, the strong team was more dominant.
It's not just the player's skill or physical strength, but also the reason for knowing oneself and knowing the right medicine.
In the third quarter, the Spurs defended in a targeted manner and sealed all the strong points of the Timberwolves, but Giang got a few under the basket, there is no way to do this kind of thing, but on the whole, the Spurs have completely controlled it.
With a nearly double-digit lead, Zhang Xiaotian personally extended the score advantage to double digits during the rotation period, and the Timberwolves couldn't get it back despite all their means, and the game was decided.
As the season progresses, the differences between the teams are becoming more and more obvious, some teams are not good after being touched by the opponent, and some teams are amazing after running in.
As far as a few of the strongest teams are concerned, the Cavaliers have fallen a bit behind in terms of record.
The Spurs and Warriors are arguably the two strongest teams in the league.
Although the Spurs killed the Warriors in the first game, this does not mean anything, compared to the offensive power, the Warriors are now much stronger than the Spurs, often slaughtering opponents by large scores.
But the Spurs' defense is definitely slightly stronger, especially the overall defense.
For the fans, no data is of any use, and each of them is arguing over the home team.
And for athletes, these actually don't mean much, the key is the playoffs.
What the team has to do is to ensure the health of the players and make them stronger and stronger.
The Spurs, a team that aims to win a championship, must be doing a different job than a fish belly, and Vicky's requirements for the team are not relaxed at all because of good results, and it must be admitted that the Warriors are indeed the strongest in the regular state.
In fact, it is not difficult for the Spurs to run in, but it is a little more difficult to run in completely than the Warriors.
Durant entered the Warriors, just according to Zhang Xiaotian's configuration, and he was just entangled in the question of how much to aggravate.
On the Spurs' side, the configuration after changing the core is not based on the characteristics of the new core, but based on the tactics of the Spurs, but the tactical framework of the Spurs is actually in the GDP era.
Becoming a first-tier strong team Spurs can be said to be casual, it still takes a little effort to suppress another strong team, the transaction is not very reliable, and Gasol can't change to Jordan Jr., so he can only gradually adjust the details.
In addition, the three-point shot should be practiced more, which is the magic weapon of the offensive end now, especially the No. 1 position.
Parker has already divided the power, and no matter how many veterans he asks, he will be unhappy, after all, he is not a player who has not won a championship.
But it doesn't matter, the team doesn't have to be perfect all the time.
Zhang Xiaotian, like many teams, actually knows very well in his heart, but there are some things that involve their own interests, Zhang Xiaotian has now begun to coax Leonard, this guy is the key.
Fortunately, the Spurs have a combination tradition, and Zhang Xiaotian tied people together and said that it was the common core, and Leonard would not think much about it even if he was a little snack.
The two of them have common interests, and the Spurs have gotten stronger under their leadership, and it's exciting to think about it.
On December 8, the Spurs continued their road game, this time against the Bulls.
The Bulls spent the first few seasons studying with the prince, which embarrassed the team with a glorious history, but it was not just an embarrassing problem that they didn't even make the playoffs last season.
The team's management is also quite bold, and they made huge changes to the squad in the summer.
The former boss Rose was sent away, and Noah, who liked to be the boss, left, which means that the Bulls plan to build a team with Jimmy Butler as a full core to see the effect.
In addition to Robin Lopez, who was traded, the Bulls also worked the free market, taking Wade and taking Rondo.
These options can't be said to be the best, but they are already the limit of what the Bulls can do.
Coupled with the remaining players such as Ty Gibson, Mirotic, and Doug McDermott, this season's Bulls can also be called both internal and external.
