The Clippers, like the Lakers in the last game, didn't get a good rookie this year.

Their main players in this summer league can be said to be old fritters for Xinnen.

Fellow Adam Morrison, a 2006 prospect who tried to make a comeback, and Morrison's one-year ranger Hilton Armstrong, and third-year players Eric Bledsoe and Trico White.

Adam Morrison felt good in the first two games, and the big killing seemed to go back to his college days, and Jacques Vaughn gave Zhang Xiaotian the task of limiting the opponent's first scoring point.

The Clippers had the opportunity to take the lead in attacking, and Zhang Xiaotian immediately clinged to Adam Morrison.

Adam Morrison is not the kind of player with great power and speed, and against this type of shooter, he can't give him space to shoot, and Zhang Xiaotian will definitely take the initiative to seek confrontation.

scored, Zhang Xiaotian was still entangled with Adam Morrison, and the Clippers scored by Bledsoe.

It was Spurs' turn to attack, and it was Corey Joseph who advanced with the ball.

Although Zhang Xiaotian is now a starter, he is not comparable to Leonard's treatment.

During the positional battle, if Leonard was in position to ask for the ball, Corey Joseph would pass it over immediately, but now it was replaced by Zhang Xiaotian, and the opponent directly chose to ignore it.

Cory Joseph is a two-way guard, and without the coach's designated core Leonard, he feels it's time to show his above-caliber attacking ability.

Corey Joseph's jumper also scored, and Zhang Xiaotian did not hesitate and focused on defense again.

Adam Morrison didn't ask for the ball directly, he asked for an off-ball cover after running constantly, and it was clear that this was the Clippers' tactic.

The moment Zhang Xiaotian was blocked, Adam Morrison had already received the ball and shot.

Brush and hit a three-point shot.

Zhang Xiaotian knows why this guy can kill all sides in the summer league, the summer league can't get any sophisticated defensive system, this kind of catching and shooting after covering without the ball, even if it doesn't have too strong body and speed, it doesn't matter, as long as it's accurate.

In other words, when the other party's physical strength is good, Zhang Xiaotian doesn't have much to do alone.

can only strengthen the consumption, and in the second half, the opponent's physical strength decreases, and it is impossible to be so accurate.

Truth be told, the Spurs aren't bad without Leonard, and both Corey Joseph and James Anderson have a basket, just more unmatched.

In contrast, the Clippers have a slightly better tempo, and this slightly better comes from Bledsoe, who is physically explosive, and Corey Joseph simply can't limit him.

Jacques Vaughn also frowned, in fact, when Leonard was there, in order to let Leonard show his all-round ability, the Spurs were closed, and it stands to reason that the Spurs will play more ferociously after Leonard leaves.

Judging from the situation on the court, the Spurs' players wanted to show themselves after Leonard left, but the effect was not very good, and with Zhang Xiaotian close to Adam Morrison, the Clippers' offensive system was not affected, and the score was always ahead.

When it comes to the rotation period, the two sides are even more rookies pecking at each other.

Jacques Vaughn couldn't help but miss the first two games, when Zhang Xiaotian was in the rotation, and the team looked much more stable.

Jacques Vaughn actually has some ideas in mind as a summer league coach, having been an assistant coach with the Spurs for two years, and he may have a chance to become the head coach of a certain team next.

Even in summer league, he wanted to play some tactics.

Today's change of formation did not seem to be successful, and Jacques Vaughn hastened to make adjustments, asking his players to play out the tactics they used in training.

But the effect of the two adjustments was not obvious, and he thought about one thing wrong, after Leonard left the team without an absolute core, the team's sharing of the ball became even worse.

Leonard is not the kind of player who can share the ball well through his handball team, but no player can do that right now.

At half-time, the team was six points behind, and Jacques Vaughn was a little unhappy, not just because of the scoreline, but because the team was completely alone in the first half.

"You should know the culture of the Spurs, and if you don't know how to share the ball, you can't be the player the team really needs."

At the beginning of the second half, the players on the field began to share the ball, but it felt awkward.

Passing also requires awareness, which is often more difficult than scoring, and if you don't get the timing right, it can seriously reduce the efficiency of the attack.

Among them, James Anderson did not pass the ball to Zhang Xiaotian because of that small contradiction, delaying the fighter several times, and as a result, the Spurs fell behind by 10 points halfway through the third quarter.

Jacques Vaughn simply replaced Zhang Xiaotian and James Anderson to keep the two sober.

Zhang Xiaotian is a little aggrieved, he has never been right on the court, James Anderson is such a bastard, he already has a contract but has nothing to fear.

However, Zhang Xiaotian also calmed down after being replaced, and there was no point in being angry with James Anderson, what he needed to think about was how to perform well and how to help the team win.

He can only get a contract if he performs well, and if he doesn't perform well after Leonard leaves, he can't be recognized by the team.

The two years of playing part-time work and playing amateur leagues at the same time have been a great training for him, and he used to be silent when he sat on the bench in college, but now it is different.

He took the initiative to come next to Jacques Vaughn and discuss the situation on the pitch.

"Actually, our lineup is definitely not worse than the Clippers, I think we will fall behind because there is one less player on the court who can connect the team, Kawai has done a good job before, and the coach must have seen it better than me."

Jacques Vaughn certainly understands that the team is now putting Cory Joseph in that role, but unfortunately Corey Joseph is still a little bit behind.

He also considered Zhang Xiaotian, but Zhang Xiaotian's prestige in the team was insufficient, and the players on the field did not necessarily cooperate, and the team's inspection of Zhang Xiaotian was mainly on defense.

Just as Jacques Vaughn struggled, the team fell behind even more.

Without Zhang Xiaotian's defense, Adam Morrison hit consecutive shots and became a star on the field.

If Jacques Vaughn didn't have ambitions, he wouldn't care if he won or lost, and the summer league was about scouting players anyway, and winning or losing didn't make much of a difference.

But he wants to win, and Jacques Vaughn doesn't want to be seen as having won the first two games with Leonard.

"Coach, let me take control of the team's offense in the fourth quarter, I'm going to win this game with my teammates, you just tell me what I need to look out for."

Zhang Xiaotian's confident words were just right, and Jacques Vaughn suddenly made up his mind.

"Corey, pass more balls to Zhang Xiaotian when you go on the field, and play the No. 1 tactic."

Before the start of the fourth quarter, Jacques Vaughn set the tone.
