Chapter 407: Consummation
Zhang Xiaotian's three points ended the first half of the game, and in the end, the Spurs started unfavorably and only fell behind by one point.
For a team like Celtic, there's not much to say, it's just tough.
As for defense, infinite change of defense plus assistance defense, although Thomas Jr. is also an All-Star level, but for team-type opponents, there is no need to stare at someone.
Of course, the Spurs can't find a player who is very suitable for staring at Thomas Jr., as long as they have help defense.
Not to mention the offense, there are strong points, although the inside performance of this game is not good, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard still have an advantage, they just need to play a good team cooperation, and then create a suitable single opportunity for the two.
In the third quarter, the Spurs did a very good job of switching inside the Celtics, and Leonard also sent a block, but the opponent opened from beyond the three-point line.
Although it was the Spurs who took the initiative to push the opponent outside the three-point line, no matter what the opponent, the three-point line will become more difficult to deal with.
The Spurs aren't the kind of team that stupidly plays against people, and while they also value the three-pointer, they don't gamble.
Led by Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, they used one mid-range shot after another to resist the momentum of the opponent's consecutive three-pointers.
And the Spurs' bench also continued to give up, and in the final moments, they still hit a three-pointer to help the team overtake the score.
The Celtics were a little angry that they didn't get the desired result by three consecutive points, but they still didn't get discouraged and planned to fight again in the final quarter.
However, the fourth quarter was useless even on their home court, and Zhang Xiaotian couldn't stop it at all.
Jay Crowder actually does a good job up front, but the Celtics aren't strong enough to help defense, and Horford is the kind of flexible interior player who can't cover the sky with one hand under the basket.
Celtics coach Brad Stevens was also calm and did not make substitutions, waiting until the Spurs were about to lead by double digits before calling a timeout to replace the main team.
After the Celtics' main team came on the court, they launched several sharp attacks, and they had the posture to recover the score.
** Vicky didn't care about supporting the old buddy at this time, and replaced Parker, who had just been on the court for a short time, and Parker was too bad against Thomas Jr.
The years are urging people to grow old, and Parker also relied on speed to eat others.
Mills can't completely limit Thomas Jr. either, but that's okay, the Spurs have help defense.
The Spurs' assistance defense is not only the inside line, Zhang Xiaotian and other three people are good in single defense.
With Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard, Danny Green, and Aldridge sending blocks one after another, the momentum of the Celtics' offensive end gradually cooled down.
And the Spurs have always been stable on the offensive end.
At 1 minute and 39 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian grabbed the backcourt basket and launched a counterattack directly, hitting the opponent's three-point line, and the score gap between the two sides suddenly came to 14 points, and the game was settled.
Zhang Xiaotian once again got 30+, and also grabbed 10 rebounds, with two double-double data.
Crowder sighed after the game: "The Spurs were one of the best teams I've ever seen in the fourth quarter. ”
Whenever this happens, Vicky doesn't mind complimenting the other party.
"Brad did a great job today, and I'm sure you already know that."
"On both ends of the floor, Celtic are very aggressive...... They are very disciplined, play very selfless and positive, and they do everything very right. ”
If it weren't for the Spurs, Vicky said later that today was a great win for the Spurs, and Coach Stevens would have been moved.
The Spurs have to travel to Washington the next day to play the Wizards, and the road is back-to-back, and every team will be a tough test of what they encounter.
It's the same with Spurs, except that the head coach likes to schedule a rotation at this time.
This time, it was Ginobili who took a break and did not move the main lineup.
The Wizards have always been up and down in the past few seasons, and they are still willing to spend money in the summer, but they can't catch up with the big names.
130 million maximum salary to renew Bill, and then threw 64 million to get Ma Simmi as an inside substitute, I don't know what they want.
In this league, some people get big contracts for some reason, and some people show their faces every season because they can't get a good contract for some reason.
It's not that Masimmi is bad, it's just that this guy is lucky to get a premium.
The main point of attack of the Wizards is still the backcourt of both sides of Wall and Beal, but Wall is not the kind of strong offensive No. 1 position, although the strong Spurs will not worry too much, and now they are not afraid of the other party's reasonableness, but they are afraid of being unreasonable.
On the one hand, the tactics are getting more and more detailed, and on the other hand, there are more and more players who can be unreasonable, and it is difficult for the current team to build a real dynasty.
As soon as the game began, the Wizards began to score routinely.
The Spurs' side is still Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard's main attack, and Vicky's team basketball has not practiced the two of them with the ball alone, but the other offensive ends are becoming more and more difficult to let go.
Aldridge doesn't know why, the abuse of vegetables turns over and small mid-range shots are not so effective many times, Gasol has become an unqualified blue-collar worker after filming the old man's sycophants, Parker is suppressed, Danny Green can only defend, Ginobili is addicted to playing iron, this is the rhythm that forced Zhang Xiaotian to become a tumor.
But fortunately, the Spurs' group of role players will always pop up one or two out of nowhere, and although it is unstable, it is enough to deal with most teams.
Mills played better than the main team as soon as he came on the court, and Parker was also annoying, but after coming on the court in the second quarter, Parker also used the rhythm to play a few.
I think that the French sports car could leave people behind as long as it accelerated, and now the No. 1 position has to play its footsteps, and even the best Vicky is sad.
However, if Spurs score a little more, it will immediately open the rhythm of the score.
I have to say that Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard are too stable, especially when the two block and dismantle.
It's just that this trick is not used very much, after all, they are all big names...... No, after all, the two strong points have to be pulled apart and dispersed by the opponent's defense.
In the first half, the Spurs led by 10 points, and this time Vicky was more satisfied.
The team is not looking at assists, but is able to disrupt the opponent's defense a little more.
The Wizards' defense is poor, but the Spurs' other teams helping to tear up the defense is what Vicky thinks is the right approach.
There are two strong points in the first gear, a few strong points in the second gear, and a few unstable points, as long as one or two jumps out of each quarter to help Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard share their worries, the game will be beautiful.
It was Aldridge who stood up in the third quarter, so the Spurs were cool, and their opponents would be unhappy if they were happy.
The Wizards will make two moves when they are in trouble, Wall will play, and Wall will play after Bill, but unfortunately the efficiency is not very high.
Let the Spurs enter the final quarter with a nearly 20-point advantage, and the Wizards can't do it if they don't want to.
The 21-point victory over the Wizards, the Spurs won ten consecutive victories, and all three of them were also victories.
