In the fourth quarter, when the two teams were entangled, Zhang Xiaotian really wanted to play.

He even had the urge to tell Popovich that he could use his skills to improve his abilities in the last session, but it was only a momentary impulse, no one believed it, and he couldn't tell anyone the unbelievable secret.

If it weren't for the automatic response of the system, Zhang Xiaotian really couldn't remember the task of the system, the competition was too fierce and attracted all his attention.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even play and completed the task, and that little depression suddenly disappeared invisibly.

[Enter the activation list and go out with the team, complete the task, and reward a random card pack.] 】

[The mission is completed, and the basketball championship system is upgraded to the official version.] 】

[The upgrade is complete, and the item shop has been added.] 】

[The team gets a win and gets a victory point.] 】

[Mission: Overcome obstacles and help the team win ten games.] 】

The system changed, and Zhang Xiaotian hurriedly went to the bathroom next to the locker room to take a closer look.

Sure enough, there is an option in the system for the prop shop, and there are only three kinds of props in it for the time being, a physical potion worth ten victory points, a random card pack worth twenty victory points, and a status hot card worth twenty-five victory points.

[Random card pack, you can get a random item card after use.] 】

[Stamina potion, instantly restores all stamina.] 】

Zhang Xiaotian immediately used the random card pack of the reward, and immediately he got a prop card, and there was also this prop card for sale in the mall, worth twenty-five victory points.

[Three-point rain card; Doubles three-point shooting percentage in a game, with 40% ignores defense. 】

Good thing, he doesn't have a lot of consistency in three-point shooting now, but if he hits twice as much, he will definitely become a marksman immediately.

Props are all good things, but victory points are not easy to earn, and the team only has a little if they win a game.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't have time to study more, and the Spurs will return to their home stadium to play back-to-back games soon after the opening game.

When he returned to the hotel, he hurried to rest and try to be mentally ready.

The regular season is not as good as the preseason, and there are not many opportunities for players who are not the main rotations, and although you don't know when you can play, if you don't play, the team won't give you more time.

It's a pity that the more he thinks about it, the more he can't sleep, Zhang Xiaotian can only get up and do exercise, and he doesn't fall asleep until he is tired.

The visiting team was the one who took out the Spurs in last season's playoffs, and a group of people on the team were holding their breath.

The Thunder have had some changes to their roster this season, with James Harden in the junior going to the Rockets and Kevin Martin as his replacement.

Reached the finals last season and easily changed the general, and the Thunder is quite incomprehensible.

However, with the combination of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, they are still a very competitive team in the West.

At the beginning of the game, the energetic Thunder took the lead.

Leonard, who was still very imposing on the court, became a sophomore rookie again in front of Durant, many things are afraid of comparison, and it is difficult for Zhang Xiaotian to imagine that Leonard, who abused him in training, could not limit the opponent at all at the beginning.

He was sighing when Popovich called his name.

He was finally going to play, and Zhang Xiaotian didn't know whether to be excited or nervous.

The atmosphere of the regular season is completely different from that of the summer league, can he withstand Durant?

But he immediately discovered that Popovich was not asking him to go up against Durant, but against Kevin Martin, the Thunder's No. 2 pick, who had just been on the court.

To deal with the shooter, then physically fight, Zhang Xiaotian changed his fierce eyes and ran on the field hard.

As a shooter who is good at running without the ball, Kevin Martin feels a little slippery, but he obviously doesn't plan to fight against Zhang Xiaotian's body, and Zhang Xiaotian has been taking the initiative to stick it.

After coming to the court, Zhang Xiaotian also considered using a three-point rain card, but immediately shot the idea.

In the face of a strong opponent like the Thunder, he is unlikely to have a lot of playing time, and he may not receive the ball a few times, and the prop cards worth twenty-five victory points cannot be wasted like this.

After running for two rounds, Martin didn't even receive the ball, and Zhang Xiaotian was a lot more confident.

Although Martin is also a famous person, his body is not strong enough, and his speed is not very fast, Zhang Xiaotian feels that he can keep an eye on the other party.

Spurs are very protective and if he plays well, he will definitely get better opportunities.

But Zhang Xiaotian soon found out that he still underestimated the other party, Martin slipped from the bottom line and suddenly accelerated to the three-point line, Zhang Xiaotian followed the acceleration, but Martin rushed to the three-point line and turned his head down.

At this time, the ball passed, Zhang Xiaotian actually reacted quickly, he trained hard during this time, and his physical condition was very good, so he was stunned to twist his center of gravity and stick it again.

But after Martin received the ball, he leaned directly on him, and Zhang Xiaotian immediately knew that it was over.

As expected, the referee's whistle sounded immediately, Zhang Xiaotian fouled, and the opponent made a free throw.

Martin hit both free throws, and Zhang Xiaotian ran with the opponent for two more rounds, and the first quarter of the game ended.

Zhang Xiaotian played for two minutes and only fished out one foul.

After the game, he was so annoyed that his teeth were about to crush.

Unwillingly, Martin's thin body shouldn't be able to prevent him, he should put pressure on the other party on the offensive end.

Zhang Xiaotian puffed up his strength, but Popovich did not let him play in the second quarter.

Speaking of which, he was very depressed because Ginobili was not there for the past two minutes.

However, the team played well on the court, and Duncan was powerful again, leading the Spurs to overtake the score.

Jiang is still old and spicy, and a 36-year-old man can still bully most of the people in the league.

In the second half, the Spurs were still very stable, and the score was 10 points ahead, the Thunder suddenly became powerful, Durant took the lead, and threw down a three-point pass, and the score was tied.

Zhang Xiaotian wanted to vomit blood, obviously he was the strongest in the fourth quarter, but the score was so tangled, Popovich would not give him a chance at all.

In this case, he had no choice but to concentrate on being a cheerleader.

In the final quarter, the Spurs took the lead through cooperation, but Durant immediately relied on his personal ability to catch up with the score, and he also scored the 10,000th point of his career.

In the final moments, the duel between the two teams turned into a duel between Westbrook and Parker, with Westbrook scoring consecutive inside fouls and Parker hitting a three-pointer.

The game was tied in the final seconds, but Westbrook made a surprise mistake when Parker hit a buzzer-beating shot to give the Spurs an 86-84 win over the Thunder.

Looking at the hint of victory points plus one, Zhang Xiaotian's smile was a little bitter.

He doesn't mind hugging his thighs to earn win points, but his contract is not stable now, he needs a chance to perform, he wants to stand on the pitch and fight at the last moment, he doesn't want to be a close spectator.
