After the Warriors defeated the Spurs, Westbrook, the core of the Thunder who will face the Spurs next, said that they will go all out to beat the Spurs and will not be afraid because the playoffs are approaching.

This season's Thunder results have been frustrated, but Wei Shao has become a popular candidate for regular season MVP because of the average triple-double data per game, to be honest, Zhang Xiaotian is a little depressed, and the team's results should be an important reference.

He said in an interview before the game that there are many teams that want to beat the Spurs, but they can't beat them with words.

Their words made the fans very excited, the number of people paying attention to the game increased, and the league was happy.

In fact, after Zhang Xiaotian's return, the Spurs are obviously a little more high-profile than before.

** Vicky actually doesn't hate it, because Zhang Xiaotian is super serious on the court.

At the end of March, the Spurs went to the road to play the Thunder again.

There is no doubt that this is another time when the Spurs' No. 1 position is being ravaged.

The Thunder's offense and defense were very targeted in the opening game, which also allowed the Spurs to adjust quickly, and Dedmon completed the pseudo-starter.

Although the Thunder are the main offense of Wei Shao and Oladipo on the outside, Kanter has also done a good job on the offensive end after Kanter came up, and they also suppressed the Spurs on rebounding.

The Spurs are very strong, but they also have weaknesses, and the Thunder are targeted.

When encountering an opponent like the Thunder whose strengths and weaknesses are staggered, it is difficult to completely limit them defensively, and it is only by relying on offense that it is difficult for the Spurs to limit their strong points, and it is even more difficult for them to limit the strong points of the Spurs.

Because the Spurs are stronger, that's all.

So behind in the first half, what is more annoying about Vicky is the offense.

Of course, the old man will not say that letting Aldridge do the opponent's rookie Sabonis was his strategy before the game, and it was this strategy that did not succeed that caused problems in the Spurs' offense.

In the second half, they must change their attack and defense, and in defense, they must cut off the connection between Wei Shao and other players, whether Wei Shao wants to score or brush a triple-double, let him play alone.

In fact, the Spurs still didn't play well at the beginning of the third quarter, until ** Vic changed to the bench lineup in advance.

Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, plus Mills, Ginobili and Gasol, the three substitutes, this lineup finally played a role.

First of all, the three-point is alive, after Mills and Ginobili both hit from the outside, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard's breakthrough was even more threatening, and the Thunder's defense immediately had problems.

Then there is the world of the Spurs, especially after Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard teamed up to make Adams a few fouls, and the situation was completely reversed.

The Thunder's defense of Adams is a key, and Kante can attack when he comes up, but the defense is much worse.

In addition, Oladipo was limited enough by Zhang Xiaotian to choke on this, Wei Shao really wanted to play alone.

To be honest, Wei Shao has explosive power and impact power, but it is not a particularly stable type.

When Westbrook started playing iron, it was when the Spurs countered hardest.

By the end of the third quarter, the margin had narrowed to single digits.

The Thunder also used targeted defense against Zhang Xiaotian in the final quarter, but unfortunately, the Thunder had a big problem, their good defense and offensive lineup were not the same.

While they desperately defended Zhang Xiaotian, the Spurs easily limited the Thunder's offense.

So even though Zhang Xiaotian's efficiency dropped slightly, the Spurs still quickly caught up with the score.

From this aspect, it can be seen how rare it is to have stars like Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard who have both offense and defense.

The Thunder had to make changes to the lineup, and the Spurs responded with only three strong points.

Offensive and defensive, Spurs are experts in the league.

At this time, Westbrook's unstable characteristics were infinitely magnified, because Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard's blocking and dismantling were too efficient.

They felt bad for the first time in the first quarter, and it turned out that they were right.

When the Thunder had problems on the offensive end, the Spurs used their most attacking lineup right now, with three strong points plus Mills and Pau Gasol.

Then Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard, Pau Gasol and Mills all hit three-pointers.

The Thunder, with a bang of iron outside the three-point line, fell at the feet of the Spurs, who had a chance before, but the team's gap prevented them from maintaining their advantage until the end.

Speaking after the game, Ginobili said: "It was a beautiful win, we need a win like this, how many do we have? Not good enough for 30 minutes? But we bounced back, and we stayed united. ”

During the interview, Vicky seemed to be in a good mood, and a reporter asked him what he thought of Wei Shao's recent performance, and he replied: "I can't control him now, what else can I say?" If someone says he's going to do it at the start of the season, you might think he's crazy, but he's done it now and he deserves it. ”

However, he was more pleased with the team's performance: "I'm very impressed with the determination of the whole team, we were behind for a long time, but they kept trying to move forward. ”

For Aldridge, who was a little confused on the offensive end, ** Vic also comforted him by the way, "LaMarcus has been a good defender so far this season, he has been chasing the ball. ”

Fast forward to April, and Spurs' first game was at home.

The playoffs are getting closer and closer, and Vicky can't care about the league's staring, so he decisively rotated the players.

Aldridge, Danny Green, Ginobili, Mills and others will not play, and their opponents are the Jazz, who are very good defensively.

The Jazz have improved significantly this season, but they are still struggling to finish in the top four in the West.

Against the Spurs, their strongest point may be in trouble, Hayward will be very problematic whether it is against Zhang Xiaotian or Leonard, this is the team's strong point of restraint, Hayward can play like James when he meets a team that is not strong in the front line, and he can only be mediocre when he meets a strong forward team.

The Jazz have also been disrupted by some injuries, with former Spurs player Burris Dior now starting, but his performance with the Jazz is very average, after all, the style of play is not very compatible.

The Spurs gave the rookie a chance to start, playing one big and four small.

The Jazz's lineup can also be said to be one big and four small, and Dior's offensive means are not like an interior line.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides entered the attack mode differently than they imagined.

And they are all team-based attacks, among which the Spurs are more efficient, and Zhang Xiaotian's advantage of hanging the pass allows him to quickly increase his assists.

However, in the second quarter, the Spurs were in trouble, not because there were no substitutes, the bench lineup led by Pau Gasol played okay, and it was Jazz center Gobot who interrupted the Spurs' offense with five big hats.
