In the final moments, the Spurs put on a four-big lineup of Gary Neal, Manu Ginobili, Danny Green, Zhang Xiaotian and Duncan.

Well, Popovich is obsessed with confidence and wants Zhang Xiaotian to defend against Aldridge.

Aldridge's height and arm span are much stronger than Batum's, and Zhang Xiaotian can only go up.

It is estimated that the team can't help it, the Spurs' interior line is a mess except for Duncan, and Dejuan Blair played the starter in the last game to prove that he is not worthy of the responsibility, and this game is Dior who started again, and then was blown up.

Popovich probably thinks it's useless to go on the inside line anyway, so it's better to increase the firepower and fight the attack.

Because when the team increases the score, it is the time of the rotation period to single the inside.

When he arrived on the court, Zhang Xiaotian didn't think about anything, just squeezed Aldridge out.

Aldridge didn't seem to like this brute force confrontation, and turned around twice to get rid of Zhang Xiaotian.

How could Zhang Xiaotian be gotten rid of by the inside players, he kept up with his footsteps, the opponent could go out, but it was absolutely not okay to go inside.

The Trailblazers saw that Zhang Xiaotian defended Aldridge and was no different, so they hurriedly tried to pass the ball in, but when Aldridge received the ball, he was already one step away from the penalty area.

Zhang Xiaotian tried to seal the opponent's shooting line, but he still tried his best to squeeze people out.

Aldridge was very upset, and it was a turnaround jumper in the back.

He almost exited the three-point line this time, and the shot hit the iron.

He was a little angry and theorized with the referee, thinking that Zhang Xiaotian's action was a foul.

The Spurs weren't going to wait for their opponents to finish chatting, Ginobili quickly dribbled the ball and Wesley Matthews quickly stepped on.

The Trail Blazers also had two interior players on the court, and Ginobili was stopped and the ball was circulating on the outside.

When the ball moved to Zhang, Aldridge was at least two steps away from him.

Zhang Xiaotian really shot three points, the basketball hollowed into the net, and the Spurs overtook 99:97.

The pioneers suddenly became nervous, and Zhang Xiaotian's three points were impressive.

Aldridge actually scored two goals when he first came on the court before, but the Trail Blazers still passed the ball to him this time, and Zhang Xiaotian drew a gourd in the same way, just squeezing out.

The referee blew a foul this time, and Zhang Xiaotian spread his hands to show that he was very innocent.

However, the Spurs' foul count has not yet arrived, and the Trail Blazers continue to attack, but this time Aldridge did not continue to play hard, and he passed the ball to the outside.

Lillard, after all, was a rookie, and in the final minutes he went cautious and passed the ball to Batum, who scored two points against Danny Green's defense and tied the score again.

On the defensive end, the Trail Blazers didn't dare to let Aldridge defend against Zhang Xiaotian.

Batum opened his long arms to block in front of Zhang Xiaotian, and Aldridge still put Danny Green two steps on his side, and he was afraid to stick it as an inside line for fear of being overcome.

Zhang Xiaotian faked a real pass and distributed the ball to Danny Green on the baseline, Aldridge pounced forward, Danny Green immediately took a step inside, and there was a hole in the Trail Blazers' defense.

Danny Green then returned the ball to Zhang Xiaotian, who received the ball in the middle of the march and went directly to the inside, attracting the defense and sending it to the side, Ginobili received the ball and made a layup, causing J.J. Hickson to foul.

J.J. Hickson played a good game, but it was already his fifth foul.

Trail Blazers coach Terry Stottes also saw that even if they had a certain advantage on the inside, they couldn't prevent it now, and he was worried that J.J. Hickson would leave the court with six fouls, so he could only replace people and play one big and four small.

In this way, the opposite of Zhang Xiaotian was directly replaced by Batum, and Zhang Xiaotian was also happy to do so.

Batum felt good in this game, he has already scored 20+, and winning the Trail Blazers to limit Batum is the key.

"Now you're behind, I hope you play well, because you can't defend me, and if you can't attack, you'll be done with this game."

Batum knew that Zhang Xiaotian was a provocation, but he was already a famous figure, and he felt that Zhang Xiaotian was not a player of the same level as him, and he had to shut up this kid.

The Trail Blazers hit the inside first, Duncan was very tough at the critical moment, and Aldridge passed the ball out again and handed it to Batum, who was in the best form.

After Batum received the ball, Zhang Xiaotian gave up his closeness.

Unlike Aldridge, at this time, the closeness will be passed, but the other party will take the first step quickly, and when Batum protrudes, Zhang Xiaotian immediately pasted it.

Seeing the opponent pressing, a trace of disdain flashed in Batum's eyes, what if he pressed up, his shooting could not be affected.

After moving two steps laterally, Batum picked up and shot.

He thinks that Zhang Xiaotian is a newcomer, it is okay to break out on the offensive end, and it is impossible for the defense to pose a threat to him except for stalking, he has confirmed in the first half, and in the last few minutes he does not need to conserve his strength, how can a rookie stop him.

But jumping into the air, Batum found that Zhang Xiaotian had completely blocked his shooting line.

He could only force his wrist to raise his shot, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc, three non-sticky.

"I said you can't, I'm going to hit you next."

Batum's face almost turned the color of a pig's liver, but in fact, he is more confident in defense than in offense, and he is not the level of Barnes who can only rely on ruthlessness.

He even deliberately gave Zhang Xiaotian space to catch the ball, just to get his face back.

Zhang Xiaotian catches the ball is the action of shooting, Batum stretched out his long arms, his feet slightly off the ground, but did not jump completely, so that it is enough to interfere and can rely on the coordinated body to make follow-up defenses.

It's a pity that he took it for granted, Zhang Xiaotian squeezed to the side of the defense with a short body, and accelerated instantly like a sports car that stepped on the accelerator.

By the time Batum quickly adjusted his center of gravity to intercept, Zhang Xiaotian had already squeezed through.

The combination of speed and power only needs a small gap, and it is impossible for Batum to stop it.

His head went blank in an instant, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull, and the referee's whistle came to mind.

Zhang Xiaotian hit both free throws, and the Spurs led by four points, and the game entered the last three minutes.

The Trail Blazers were forced to take a timeout, but Batum couldn't listen to what the coach was saying.

After he got on the court, he threw three points against Zhang Xiaotian's defense and hit iron.

Throw it again, strike it again.

When the third strong shot was made, the ball finally went in, and I have to say that Batum still has some strength.

"See, boy, you'll have to wait a hundred years to stop me."

Batum seemed to finally spit out a bad breath and shouted at Zhang Xiaotian.

Zhang Xiaotian pointed to the electronic scorer and smiled, "Yes, it's a pity that you have already lost." ”
