On March 5th, the Grizzly Bears visited.

The Grizzlies have been wholeheartedly playing this season, and Gasol Jr. is already very dissatisfied.

But at this time, the management can only continue while comforting the core of the team.

Aldridge is back for this game, but his form still needs to be adjusted.

Gasol Jr. started the game with all his might, and also hit a three-pointer from the outside.

However, the Grizzlies' real outside players are not good, and they are completely suppressed by Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard.

In the second half, Gasol Jr. couldn't hold on, and the Spurs took the opportunity to extend the lead to double digits, and the game went smoothly.

It's just that the Rockets also won the game, and if the Spurs want to overtake the Rockets at the end of the season, they must not only keep winning, but also need the Rockets to lose.

And the Warriors, on the other hand, haven't lost since March, and they want to rush up.

On March 8, the Spurs played the Warriors away, a crucial game.

It's all about competing for the advantage of the playoffs, and the two sides directly started the high intensity.

Zhang Xiaotian broke through the point to assist Evans, and the Spurs took the lead in scoring, but then Durant turned on the scoring mode, and the Warriors had a slight advantage.

With Curry and Durant here, the Warriors are really not afraid of anyone in terms of scoring ability.

The advantage of the Spurs is still in defense and physical strength, if you fight to the end, it will purely depend on the ability of the star, and Zhang Xiaotian is not afraid of anyone.

In order to keep up with the pace of the Warriors, this Spurs used one big and four small from the start.

Playing the Warriors Aldridge is still good on the offensive end, but the defense will definitely suffer a small loss.

When the Warriors play a small lineup, Aldridge can't defend that easily.

In fact, the tactics of both sides are a bit similar, they are all looking for each other's defensive weaknesses after blocking and dismantling.

Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard can play against the Warriors' guards and inside, especially Zhang Xiaotian, who is very threatening with his passing.

Team cooperation, individual ability, five points can be thrown, the Spurs and the Warriors are chess opponents, you have to concentrate on every minute and every second of the game, if you make a mistake, you may be caught by the opponent and it will be difficult to turn over.

The habit of opening and hanging, Zhang Xiaotian was very stable in the first three sections.

After falling behind by single digits, he did not rush to chase it back, but constantly mobilized his teammates to get the whole team into the groove, and always put pressure on the Warriors.

So Durant and Curry will have to fight hard, just like in last year's playoffs, to wear them down and finally seize the opportunity to tear apart their opponents.

By the second quarter, the Warriors had some meaning, and Curry had some discomfort in his ankle.

Curry is not afraid of confrontation, but his body is still not as durable as a forward team like Zhang Xiaotian, and this comeback has not been long ago, and he encountered problems with the Spurs who were too strong.

Wins and losses and Curry's health, the Warriors definitely choose Curry's health.

The Warriors without Curry won't put as much pressure on other teams, and after Curry returned to the locker room, the Warriors also had trouble on the offensive end.

Durant was on the court and enjoyed the highest level of defense in advance.

The Spurs managed to take the lead, and if the second quarter hadn't ended soon, they would have been able to extend their victory.

As a strong team, after halftime adjustments, they have come out of the predicament of missing Curry.

However, Cook, who replaced Curry, is N notches worse than Curry.

The Warriors have also stopped using small lineups easily, but have increased their interior playing time.

But that's it, their three-point shooting percentage has increased, and that's the resilience of the strong team.

Especially after Nick Young came on the court, he hit two three-pointers in a row to help the Warriors bite the score.

The Spurs' bench players played very mediocre this time, and it looked like the Warriors still had a big chance.

But this is all an illusion, and the Warriors are no longer a team of this level without Curry.

In order to bite the score, Durant played at least four minutes more than the players on the Spurs' side when he finished the third quarter, so that the Warriors had no way to be better by relying on the explosion of the bench, and the Spurs' real outburst was in the final quarter.

In the fourth quarter, Durant had to rest for a while, otherwise he would not be physically strong.

In order to deal with Zhang Xiaotian, the Warriors put out a small lineup to attack against each other.

The main defense is left to Nick Young or Kevon Looney, who wants to bite the score with a small lineup and wait until Durant comes up and does a hard job.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian was in the No. 4 position, he played with the shooter, and the defense on the outside was worse.

Klay hit a three-pointer when he came up, which made the Spurs very vigilant.

Sometimes, a lineup without an absolute core is more difficult to defend, as is often the case with the Warriors' small lineup without Durant and Curry.

The Spurs were also worried that Durant would not be able to defend after coming up, and Vicky rarely made an adjustment in advance, letting Aldridge go up first to help Zhang Xiaotian attract defensive attention.

The opponent has a small lineup, and Aldridge is still a threat when he comes up.

Zhang Xiaotian used Aldridge's deterrent power on the inside, and after scoring consecutive points, he also successfully interfered with Nick Young, and the Warriors couldn't sit still.

Durant, who rested for almost four minutes, came up and hit, and Durant, who has a touch, is almost the most difficult to defend in the league, because the goods are too high.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't reluctantly seal the other party, so he came to score it.

The Warriors are still a small lineup, and the Spurs let Aldridge stay in the position, and let Zhang Xiaotian and Durant face off against the mid-range shot.

Zhang Xiaotian played Durant with the ball, changed direction and then changed direction after an emergency stop, which still caused Durant to have a problem with his center of gravity.

After pulling up and hitting simply, Zhang Xiaotian forced Draymond Green to make a mistake on the defensive end, and quickly counterattacked after breaking the ball.

Durant then hit a three-pointer and then drew another foul on Leonard.

In fact, the Spurs led by 3 to 5 points all the time, but Durant maintained a high shooting percentage until the end this time.

That is to fight for the stability of the last moment, Zhang Xiaotian did not have the slightest fear in his heart.

"You say, which side of us will win this game?"

"Guess if we're going to hit you this time, maybe you'll make a mistake."

"It's a little boring, you guys don't have the right personnel, but I'll be happy to accept the victory."

"Shut up." Under Zhang Xiaotian's continuous trash talk, Durant finally became a little angry.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't adapt to trash talk, but Zhang Xiaotian has always maintained high efficiency, and they are really going to lose.

As far as the duel with the strong is concerned, Zhang Xiaotian is really a little confused.

In the past, when he first entered the league, he would trash talk when he met many players, but now only a few people and teams can make him interested in advance.

Talking means excitement, and the Warriors can play with them until the end, and it's a really good game.

But he was serious about winning the game, and in 50 seconds, Klay was jammed with a three-pointer by Danny Green, and the ball was spotted twice and fell into the hands of Zhang Xiaotian, and it was time to kill the game.
