On November 23, the Spurs began their crusade, and their first destination was Charlotte.

The Hornets are not a team that is willing to spend money, and their main move in the summer was to renew their contracts.

In the free market, they picked up Roy Shepoter, who was in serious decline and everyone didn't want it.

However, they were quite generous to Parker's fellow countryman Batum and gave him a contract of more than 100 million.

If you want to talk about strength, it's not necessarily stronger than last season.

The Hornets second, third, and fourth positions can also put up a blocking line like the Spurs, but their overall defense is much worse, and the offensive end cannot be compared with the Spurs.

At the beginning of the game, the Hornets tried to hit inside, but Hibbert had now become "Gao Yuanyuan" and it was useless.

The Hornets simply go up to Frank Kaminski, and they can also pull out to shoot inside, and they are also more dynamic on the offensive end.

But this lineup also has pros and cons, and the lack of assistance defense on the inside line is simply telling Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard to go in and ravage them.

In this case, both are efficient and Aldridge is also showing up, but the Spurs have a lot of performance on the inside, and the other will be affected.

However, the Hornets also played well after giving up the inside line, except for their pity Kemba Walker, a number of benches played well, Kaminsky, Belineri, Hawes, Sessions and others all performed.

In contrast, the Spurs' rotation didn't play as well as it should.

That's what led to the end of the first half, when the Hornets still had a one-point lead.

** Vicky was heartbroken, thinking that the team would be more in line with the requirements after two days of posturing, but the result was completely unsatisfactory, and the team has now developed a habit of relying too much on the stars.

It's a difference between tactics creating chances for a star or a star using their individual abilities to create chances.

The Spurs' tactics are to support star singles, but the current situation is not a reflection of tactics.

People can be a little stubborn when they get older, but if Vicky can't figure it out, he can't coach the team for so many years.

So during the intermission, he stopped practicing closed-mouth meditation and trained people happily.

The biggest problem is actually very clear, the No. 1 position suffers, and the substitutes are a little weak.

To defend well in the second half, Kemba Walker is the key, and it is up to the coach to change the defense or cut the contact.

As for Mr. 120 million, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard can handle it.

In the third quarter, the Spurs strengthened their defense and easily overtook the score.

But after Zhang Xiaotian went down to rest, the Hornets' substitute easily caught up with the score.

If you want to talk about iron, Ginobili is also real iron many times now.

The tactics are bearish, standing next to the score, whether to win or work hard in the last quarter.

When he came back on the court in the last quarter, Zhang Xiaotian was even more imposing, and rushing in was a violent dunk.

The Hornets are now led by Batum, but Batum was so defended by Zhang Xiaotian that he couldn't even find a chance to make a move.

But they came off the bench to say that it was okay, and continued to create fouls on Spurs players.

The Spurs' interior defense can't be said to be bad right now, but there are still some problems.

It's just that this kind of scoring is completely incomparable to Zhang Xiaotian's speed, and after hitting a three-pointer, he gave a steal and a block, and both counterattacks were successful, helping the team establish a lead.

The Hornets can only quickly replace Walker, hoping that this buddy can save the team.

Unexpectedly, Walker rested for a few minutes, and his hands were really pumping.

The next Hornets offense is his various singles Parker, two points and three-pointers will basically not miss, and he also plays 3+1.

It's just a matter of losing only one in the entire fourth quarter, and getting 3+1 is simply overdrafting.

Like Zhang Xiaotian, who only played 2+1 twice, it is much more normal.

** Vicky is also ruthless, obviously let Parker sit on the cold bench for ten minutes before, but at this time, he believes in the old guy and resolutely does not change.

What can Zhang Xiaotian do, then attack.

It doesn't matter if the shooting rate is a little lower, the organizational ability is good, and there are many assists in the opening, but what if there are two more core guards like Walker, who are not good at organization.

It turns out that Vicky's trust still has a bonus.

After Zhang Xiaotian and Danny Green hit three-pointers, Parker sealed the throat with a sword, and the three-pointer helped the team extend the advantage to double digits.

The time was already the last minute, and there was no suspense in the game, Walker's 15 points in the last quarter became the background, and of course, Zhang Xiaotian scored 18 points in the last quarter.

Quasi-triple-double, 30+, Zhang Xiaotian is another powerful statistic, helping the Spurs win the **-type victory.

** Vicky was also very arrogant in his post-game interview, smiling at the team's feeling problem, "If you can't shoot, continue to shoot." ”

It didn't meet the coach's requirements, but the team was victorious, and ** Vic has given up on treatment.

The team has won eight in a row, the Cavaliers have lost, and the Spurs are now the league's top record.

However, the records of the Cavaliers and Warriors are just one game, and the three strongest teams are no different from last season.

As long as the team doesn't have major problems, the Spurs can't fall behind in the regular season, but the playoffs are not so simple.

It's only been a month since the start of the season and I'm thinking about the playoffs, and it's also a qualification that only a Tier 1 team can have.

The second leg of the Crusade is Boston, and the Celtics are clearly an opponent to be taken seriously.

The Celtics' biggest move in the summer was to upgrade the interior, and because the Hawks were unwilling to give the maximum salary, the Celtics acquired Al Horford for 113 million in four years.

There's no doubt that the summer that just passed was crazy.

Howard is definitely worth a big contract, and all kinds of big contracts are flying all over the summer, which also shows that the Spurs are very worthwhile to get Zhang Xiaotian.

However, the Celtics' main point of attack is still the outside, Thomas Jr. and Bradley are the Celtics' backcourt double guns, especially Thomas Jr., who has shown the strongest firepower this season.

If there's a downside, it's that the backcourt combination is too short.

The Celtics are a very good team in team basketball, and the Spurs may be in the top five in team basketball in the league, but they can't reach the top three, but the Celtics can.

From the beginning of the game, the Celtics at home gave the Spurs a sense of what a fluid team offense is.

Pau Gasol was out of form this game, and the Spurs quickly adjusted the lineup to one big and four small.

For a team with a speedy attacking guard, the Spurs are definitely going to have Danny Green.

The Spurs' big four and small against all kinds of small ball lineups are very suitable, and after strengthening the defense, they slowly chased back the score that was behind by double digits at most.

This time the Spurs' bench didn't hold back, although Ginobili had a hard match.

** Vicky is also slightly satisfied, although the cooperation is not as good as the Celtics, but this team basketball is still played, the Spurs have a tradition of using stars, but they can't rely on all stars.
