No way, he's just a small character who comes here to make a little money, and the only one who can be his opponent is Leonard, and Darius Morris is completely unacceptable after being tackled.

He must get his face back, and in the Lakers' summer league lineup, Darius Morris still has a bit of prestige, and his teammates handed him the ball again.

Facing the menacing Dalius Morris, Zhang Xiaotian was very calm.

The opponent accelerated head-on and then changed direction, Zhang Xiaotian followed closely, and the defense did not lose the slightest position, Darius Morris could only grit his teeth and choose to pull out.

Zhang Xiaotian had expected this kind of dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, he jumped up almost at the same time as the opponent, and slapped the ball directly out of the sideline.

He whistled, "It seems that you can't even beat a cat or a dog, so go home early and rest." ”

"What did you say?"

Darius-Morris was about to rush over, but when he saw Zhang Xiaotian's wolf-like eyes, he immediately coaxed.

The referee rushed over to warn the two, and the game continued.

Darius Morris also wants to play Zhang Xiaotian in singles, but his teammates have questioned his form.

Zhang Xiaotian stuck to the other party, and Darius Morris ran around without receiving the ball, so he could only watch his teammates play the iron at the end.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack, and Zhang Xiaotian relied on the momentum he had just accumulated from his outstanding performance to get the ball.

In fact, it wasn't Darius Morris who defended him, but this guy was already angry, and he directly stepped forward and blocked Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian took a tentative step, rushed directly to the right, and leaned on the other party to start.

Unlike Darius Morris's brainlessness, he is now stronger than his opponent in terms of physical strength and physical fitness, and it is time to defeat this opponent by force.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Darius Morris fouled, but Zhang Xiaotian's shot was still steadily shot under the basket, 2+1, Darius Morris's face turned purple in an instant.

The Lakers' top scorer has lost confidence, and the scales of victory and defeat have been fully tilted in favor of the Spurs.

Jacques Vaughn hurriedly replaced Leonard, and the two offensive and defensive giants led the team to another small climax and directly sealed the victory.

It's this feeling, Jacques Vaughn is very pleased, the same as when he sealed the win in the first game, but Zhang Xiaotian is stronger.

The first half should have been a no-brainer, and as long as the player gave him enough chances, he could have put in an exciting performance, and Jacques Vaughn felt he might have gotten a treasure.

At 102:81, the Spurs won again, and Zhang Xiaotian scored 16 points in the fourth quarter and was unstoppable.

When Zhang Xiaotian was about to return to the locker room, a reporter came over unexpectedly.

The grade of the summer league is generally only paid attention to by reporters who are well-known players, such as teammate Leonard, Zhang Xiaotian Even if these two games are good, they should not be able to enter their eyes.

The reporter had the same yellow skin as him, a little thin, and his expression was more excited.

"Hello, I'm Xu Yi, you played a great game, there are already fans on the other side of the ocean who like you, you are Chinese, so can you understand Chinese."

"Understood." Zhang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, he has fans.

The two chatted briefly, and Xu Yi gave him a good feeling, so he exchanged contact information.

Now that the Internet is developed, when the Spurs announced the summer league roster, some Spurs players on the other side of the ocean noticed him, found out his simple information and published it on the forum.

However, not many people paid attention at that time, and he performed well in the last game, and a post discussing him went viral all of a sudden.

On the other side of the ocean, there are also many players who follow the NBA, and they have a lot of enthusiasm to fully support the players they like, in addition to domestic players and superstars, they also like Chinese players very much, and last season's Lin Crazy is a good example.

It has been less than a year since Xu Yi was sent here, and there are not many resources.

After the game between the Spurs and the Hawks, he saw Zhang Xiaotian's information on the forum and immediately had an idea, he wanted to be the first to interview Zhang Xiaotian and establish a good relationship with Zhang Xiaotian.

If Zhang Xiaotian can enter the NBA, he will be able to rise with the tide.

Xu Yi was full of excitement when he was sorting out the manuscript, and Zhang Xiaotian received a call from his father Zhang Dajun.

"Dad, don't be angry, I haven't told you for the time being before I get the official contract, if I succeed this time, I will definitely invite you to watch the Spurs home game."

After some explanation, Zhang Dajun discouraged his anger and began to shush his son, asking him not to get hurt.

In fact, Zhang Dajun was not really angry, but just a kind of worry for parents about their children.

Zhang Xiaotian is a single-parent family, and it is not easy for Zhang Dajun to pull him in a foreign country, and his life has stabilized in recent years.

Zhang Xiaotian has always been the pride of his father, no matter how busy Zhang Dajun was when he was a child, he would often support Zhang Xiaotian's game, Zhang Dajun's favorite thing is to sit in the audience and tell others that it is his son on the field.

For the basketball dream, Zhang Xiaotian did not find a formal job after graduating from college, and Zhang Dajun never urged him, which is why he had plans to give up before, and he couldn't let his father worry about it anymore.

Now that he has unexpectedly got a chance, he has to do his best for his father, Zhang Xiaotian originally planned to surprise Zhang Dajun after getting a formal contract.

It's just that information spreads quickly in modern society, so there are no surprises at all, Zhang Dajun didn't pay attention to the Spurs' summer league, but someone told him on the second day of the first game.

It was the Spurs, the Spurs that everyone in San Antonio was proud of, and Zhang Dajun was greatly vain.

So he waited for his son to call to report the good news, waited for two days, and finally couldn't help it after watching the live broadcast of the game.

With the blessing of his family, Zhang Xiaotian's fighting spirit is even stronger.

The next day, the Spurs still had a game, and the opponent was the Clippers, but Leonard, who had always arrived at the court early, was nowhere to be seen.

After Jacques Vaughn came over, everyone learned that Leonard had left with Popovich.

The Spurs' scouting of Leonard has ended, and they are very satisfied with his performance, and Popovich feels that with Leonard's strength, it would be a waste to play in the summer league again, so he just took people away.

"Today's starters, Corey Joseph, James Anderson, Jermichael Green, Eric Dawson, and Xiaotian Zhang." Jacques Vaughn announced in public.

There were two changes to the starting line-up, with the exception of the departing Leonard, who had clearly disappointed the coach with former starting center Luke Zeller.

Hearing his name, Zhang Xiaotian's adrenal gland secretion suddenly accelerated.

The starters, although only the ones in the summer league, are also an improvement.

He must firmly grasp this opportunity.
