Chapter 108: How can this be

Without any surprises, the Warriors put the ball in Curry's hands for the time being, and as with most teams, it's star time.

Curry dribbled outside to compress time, and when the offensive time reached the last 10 seconds, Draymond Green came up to block and pick, and Curry went straight inside to kill.

Leonard came up to help defend, Curry forced a shot and missed, but he caught the Spurs' attention, and Landry grabbed the frontcourt basket.

Once again, Curry was full of confidence, but this time he hit the shot.

With only 20 seconds left, the Spurs took a timeout, three points or two quick points, and Popovich left it to his teammates on the court to judge.

Parker dribbled the ball to the front court and handed it to Ginobili, who held the ball in the middle with his arms slightly raised, as if to pass and as if to throw.

Zhang Xiaotian took the initiative to make physical contact with Barnes, and then rushed to the outside of the three-point line.

Ginobili passed the ball, Zhang pitched a little, Barnes flew over, and Draymond Green rushed over again.

At this interval, Zhang Xiaotian pulled it up, raised his knife and fell, and hit a three-point shot.

"Celestial! The gods are mighty, and this game is worth it even if you lose. ”

"The crow's mouth is about to close, the gods are powerful, and the game will definitely be won."

Zhang Xiaotian's fans were excited, 106:106, at the last moment of the game, with Zhang Xiaotian's confident three points, the score was finally flattened.

The Warriors' offense in the last few seconds was the same as before, Curry went in, turned on the spot and forced a shot, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard both rushed over, the other side did not have any shooting line at all, and the two teams went into overtime.

After all, Curry is playing the playoffs for the first time, and even if he feels against the sky in front of him, he still hasn't stabilized at the last moment.

On the Spurs' side, Duncan was a bit dragged down by the rhythm of the two sides, and Parker and Ginobili had normal performances.

But it was Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard who really chased the game back.

Heroes are teenagers, and the Spurs finally have more than GDP, and there are young players in the playoffs to speak out.

Unlike the disastrous Warriors who are facing the Lakers, the in-form Warriors are the best litmus test.

On the Warriors' side, head coach Mark Jackson is also quite regretful, if he can win the first game, the encouragement for this group of young players will definitely be immediate, but they still have a chance.

After the fourth quarter, he spent most of the time pouring chicken soup, and then there was an emphasis on defense.

After running, Duncan was abolished, although it was mainly due to some minor problems with Duncan's health.

The Warriors didn't expect Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard to team up so well, and they began to focus most of their attention on Parker and Ginobili.

Although Zhang Xiaotian's outburst made them pay attention, it was not the kind of attention that the core players of the defense team took.

As a result, Zhang Xiaotian scored 14 points in the final quarter, Leonard scored 9 points, and the two helped the Spurs gain a rebounding advantage when the big men on both sides couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

You know, the first three quarters were the Warriors' stronger rebounds.

It can be said that in the final quarter, the Spurs and two young men exploded on both offensive and defensive ends with strength that they did not expect, just as the Spurs did not expect Curry to be so terrifying.

When it comes to overtime, Mark Jackson must pay attention to the two young men, GDP is old after all, but three seconds later he deleted this false proposition, and playing with the Spurs to ignore GDP is to find death.

Continuing to play a small lineup can scrap Duncan, he has seen that Duncan is not in shape, but at the same time it will scrap Bogut, and it is worth replacing Duncan.

Barnes' defense was too decent, and it was better to let Draymond Green defend Zhang Xiaotian.

Relatively speaking, Zhang Xiaotian's offense was a bit unreasonable, and Barnes still went to defend Leonard, and Leonard's choice on the offensive end was at least a little more predictable.

As soon as something goes wrong, let Klay Thompson go to the defense, take on the heavier defensive duties, and give Curry more energy on the offensive end, which the Warriors have always done.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich directly discharged a small lineup, Dio played center, Leonard was in the fourth position, Duncan was just uncomfortable and not yet injured, but with Popovich's caution, he still wouldn't take risks.

In overtime, the Warriors definitely got the opportunity to attack, Duncan lost the jump ball, Dio was predictable, the first ball Jack attacked again, and then scored.

I have to say that this guy is also a big heart.

On the Spurs' side, Dio made a mistake in the cover, and the Warriors blocked Barnes for a three-point shot.

Zhang Xiaotian woke up, Barnes is his defense, although it is Draymond Green who defends him, Leonard has to help defend on the inside, and will not defend against Barnes who is floating outside and waiting for opportunities, so the two teams no longer care about each other, they are playing according to their own plans.

He paid too much attention to Curry's results and didn't post them at the first time, and his ability became stronger and he wanted to help defend right, but his own defenders couldn't leak, which was the basis of defense, and now the team was behind by 5 points at the beginning of overtime, and he had to take on this responsibility.

When the Spurs attacked again, Zhang Xiaotian was very active in asking for the ball, and getting the ball was just a simple change of direction, and he hit 2 points when he pulled it up.

Draymond Green was a little confused, could it be that he was a little tired, how did he feel that Zhang Xiaotian was getting faster again.

Probably reflecting on his inability to make a strong shot at the last moment, Curry returned to Barnes after blocking this time, Barnes wanted to draw a gourd and make another three points, how could Zhang Xiaotian give him a chance.

There was obviously still room when receiving the ball, but when he shot, Barnes found that Zhang Xiaotian had completely blocked his shooting line, so he had to be capped.

He changed his shooting point slightly, but unfortunately his skills were still a little bit home, and the ball he threw was a three-no-stick, which was received by Dior.

The Spurs countered with Parker hitting a direct two-pointer, and it was the Warriors' turn to attack Curry to pass the ball again, but Draymond Green didn't shoot either.

Defensive efforts can improve relatively quickly, and offense still needs some talent, and it is normal for Draymond Green to miss shots under Leonard's interference.

Zhang Xiaotian had expected this result a long time ago, and returned to the inside line to get the rebound and directly launched a counterattack.

He is now more capable, his hit rate has increased, and he can ignore defense by 50%, no one believes this, he must seize the opportunity.

If the Warriors still win the overtime, he might as well take a piece of tofu and kill himself.

Chasing three points and hitting, the Spurs overtook 113:111.

Curry finally came on his own, but the ball no longer had the feeling of going against the sky.

In the Spurs' attack, Zhang Xiaotian hit again, 115:111, more than half of the overtime has passed, and the Spurs have completely mastered the initiative.

Warriors head coach Mark Jackson's face darkened, he felt that he had overestimated Zhang Xiaotian enough, how could a rookie who was participating in the playoffs for the first time do this.
