The Cavaliers' new lineup is still in the trial phase, and the starting team feels like a mess and the bench play is inconsistent.

In the first half, they could still rely on James's play to resist the Spurs, but in the second half, the Spurs increased their intensity, and the Cavaliers couldn't withstand it.

James experienced another game in which the stats were good, but the team lost without temper.

He really missed Zhang Xiaotian at this time, the fourth quarter of the Spurs was too fierce.

Thinking about it this way, he was a little angry with the management of the Cavaliers, who had a chance to keep the championship lineup.

Unlike the Cavaliers, the Spurs' roster this season has almost no need to adjust, to be precise, the cost of adjustment is relatively high, and there are no small trades in the middle of the season.

The most relaxing February is coming to an end, and on his son's first birthday, Zhang Xiaotian's family is also lively.

On February 28, the final game of February, the Spurs played the Pelicans at home.

The Pelicans are in the midst of a pivotal playoff run, and the team decisively opted for a trade because of Cousins' injury.

They used Asik, who couldn't play, as their main bargaining chip, and traded Mirotic from the Bulls to get instant combat power, which was also a more divine operation.

When Mirotic arrives, he will fill the gap on the offensive end after Cousins' injury.

In fact, the Pelicans' twin towers have not fully been successfully run-in, and the current situation is not necessarily not a good thing, but in the playoffs, they may be a little more difficult.

The Spurs got off to a good start, and after the All-Star break, the three of them got better and better.

At this pace, the Spurs will be stronger in the playoffs than last year.

But some things are just happy and sad, and Aldridge hit his ankle shortly after coming on in the second quarter.

After Aldridge went off the court, the Spurs were forced to play one big and four small.

They still have two orthodox interior players, but Dedmon and McGee's characteristics are not good together.

After Aldridge came off the field, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard stepped up their attacks, and the team did not have problems.

However, Dedmon is in charge of the big four on the inside, and there is still no version of Aldridge to use.

The Spurs still hold the lead, but the Pelicans' offense is getting better and better, and Anthony Davis is not good at limiting.

After thinking about it at halftime, Spurs intended to solve the problem from the outside.

Of course, their guard line Rondo and Jrue Holiday can also be considered offensive and defensive, so the main thing is the front line, Anthony Davis's help defense is good, but the Pelicans' overall defense is very poor.

As a result, Zhang Xiaotian and Anthony Davis began to score points.

On the surface, the two are evenly matched, and the second point of both sides, Leonard and Jrue Holiday also performed well.

Zhang Xiaotian is satisfied with this situation, because he will be open later, and now the team's ability to stabilize the score is the biggest advantage.

By the end of the quarter, the Pelicans still maintained a good offense, but when Davis rested, they couldn't do anything about Zhang Xiaotian.

By the time Davis came up, the Spurs changed their defensive strategy and went into the flank.

The Pelicans' outside shooting is just so-so, and letting Davis play presumptuously to the critical moment before not letting him shoot, this is the Spurs' defensive strategy.

The outside line has not tried for a while, and it is difficult to shoot continuously at this time.

On Davis's side, it is the sadness of most of the inside, as soon as the defense is tightened, it will lose most of its deterrence, and seeing that the score is behind, Davis, who is a little anxious, has been holding the ball on the outside several times to participate in the offense.

It's just that the Spurs' defense is tight, and Davis has been forced to stop the ball several times in a row and can only give up.

By the time of the final minute, the score gap between the two sides was already in double digits, and the Spurs had a good end to their February game.

At this time, the Warriors had some injury problems because of Curry and Durant, and the team had fallen from the first place in the West to the third place after a series of losses.

The Rockets returned to first place in the West with a wave of consecutive wins, and the Spurs are still second in the West.

Now there are only the last 20 games left, and in order to reassure the team, Zhang Xiaotian will also selectively enter the rotation rest, and he must hurry up to ensure the first position in the west.

It's good to improve some strength, and now Zhang Xiaotian has saved more than fifty victory points.

In the past few seasons, he only improved his strength at the critical moment of the playoffs, and that was because he needed to improve more basketball data, so it was not easy to start rashly.

His offensive and defensive stats are almost adequate this season, and he has no problem improving now.

After careful consideration, Zhang Xiaotian chose speed, ball control, and passing, all of which are suitable choices for Spurs' current tactics.

Because of the all-star equipment, there is no need to improve too much in a single item, and Zhang Xiaotian chose to consume fifty victory points.

Inside the system, his new basketball stats have become more perfect.

[Basketball stats (full value 100), power: 82+12.3, speed: 80+9.6, bounce: 75+9, three-point: 90, mid-range shot: 90, layup: 80, dunk: 80, confrontation: 84+12.6, defense: 88, ball control: 80+7.3, passing: 75+6.8, steal: 70+6.3, inside: 80, rebound: 73+6.6, block: 70+6.3, stability: 80+7.2. 】

On March 3, the Spurs faced the Lakers at home.

The Lakers got Thomas Jr., but they weren't targeting Thomas Jr., the trade was purely because there were more young players and they couldn't train that much.

They are not messing up now, and they are not desperately trying to make the playoffs, and the Lakers are mainly practicing the tactical system and developing young players by the way.

This kind of team is a little more difficult to play than an opponent who purely develops young players, after all, the tactics are practiced for victory, and it is much more stable than the guys who play completely by hand.

The Lakers' style of play and offense are not bad, but they lack an absolute core, and the defense is definitely not good.

Aldridge is still resting on the Spurs' side, but the opponent's defense is not good, and they are very active on the offensive end from the beginning.

Compared to the Spurs, the Lakers are not consistent on the offensive end.

It's scary when you burst points, and you won't be soft when you hit iron.

In the final quarter, Lonzo Power's three-point shot was unusually accurate, almost helping the team to take the lead.

At the critical moment, Zhang Xiaotian hit consecutive singles and forced the Lakers who wanted to be imposing.

After the game, he basically understood the improvement of strength.

His increased speed was originally intended to limit those super guards, but now it seems that he has a significant effect on the offensive end, and with the increased ball control, the Lakers' sub-standard defense can basically only watch him score.

44+12+10, an awesome triple-double.

And, so far this season, he still ranks first in points per game.

Harden is the only one who has the potential to make an impact on his status as the leading scorer.

After All-Star level players like to play together, everyone seems to be less obsessed with scoring, and the little idea in Zhang Xiaotian's heart has taken root and grown.
