Isaiah Thomas can be the core of the team because he dares to play in the final quarter and can play.

Zhang Xiaotian used two minutes to help the team extend the lead to 10 points, and the Celtics could only come up with the last resort, star tactics.

Don't think that team-based teams don't have star tactics, the Spurs have it, the Warriors have it, and the Celtics certainly have it.

In fact, the Celtics' players at the decisive moment were also different from the starters, and the inside line became Kelly Olynyk, as well as Evan Turner, and Jay Crowder entangled Zhang Xiaotian together.

The Celtics understand very well that when Curry doesn't feel so good, Zhang Xiaotian is even more troublesome.

It's just that even if a player like Curry doesn't hit a ball in front of him, the defense can't relax in the slightest, and Curry's hand in front of him has recovered well.

Isaiah Thomas is definitely not good, he must change the defense, the biggest problem with Isaiah Thomas as the core is that the height of the defensive end suffers, and the Celtics do not have a more suitable player.

He came up and hit a three-pointer and proved his worth.

But then the Warriors' defense forced him inside and made a mistake, and he was very fast, but Draymond Green had already predicted it.

On the offensive end, Zhang Xiaotian and Curry both created opportunities for each other after attracting the pack.

The Celtics wanted to try single defense, but Zhang Xiaotian scored immediately, without mercy, and Curry also succeeded in two singles, proving that they are not easy for the Celtics to defend.

With offense for offense, the Celtics had no other way.

Basketball has to put the ball in the basket after all, and no matter what tactics, you have to make the last step.

Isaiah Thomas hit another three-pointer under pressure, and his teammates hit it.

The Warriors quickly called a timeout, and the solution was to change the defense, Iguodala switched to the No. 1 position, and Zhang Xiaotian went to target Bradley, if Zhang Xiaotian might not have been able to target the fast-paced offensive guard a season ago, but now it is no problem.

With Draymond Green in the defense, the Celtics immediately ran into trouble on the offensive end.

Both of their defenders were short, so even if they were a little faster, it would be useless.

The Celtics could have Jay Crowder with the ball right now, but this guy is too average with the ball.

Evan Turner has the ball, Draymond Green has switched defenses, and modern basketball positional sense is less clear, especially on the defensive end.

The Celtics had no choice but to try to get Isaiah Thomas and Turner to hold the ball and then block it.

But to be honest, the Warriors' second, third, and fourth positions can all rotate, and it is not so easy to succeed in blocking and pick-and-roll.

When the game came to the final moment, Curry and Zhang Xiaotian each hit another three-pointer, the game was already settled.

21+10+5, when the players needed someone to stand up, Zhang Xiaotian once again handed in a satisfactory answer.

However, after the Warriors started against the sky with 24 consecutive wins, they still did not continue to create miracles.

It wasn't a loss to a strong team, but a loss to the Bucks, who didn't start the season very well.

The Bucks signed Monroe in the summer to play one big and four small, but the four of them are actually not small, and Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has grown rapidly this season, is 2.11m tall and can play guard.

They just broke up the inside line this time, and they didn't get it in the last quarter.

Although he was a little confused, the string in the hearts of the warriors finally did not need to be tightened.

It's been a tiring time to go away from home, and it's just a few days off after this game, and they need to take a break, both mentally and physically.

Zhang Xiaotian also took the opportunity to accompany Yang Feiyu to go out for a walk, and then entered the system training room, spending 20 victory points and a little luck to improve the stability to 80, and by the way, completely recovered his strength.

Although it is not a direct improvement in ability, he increasingly feels the importance of stability.

The team has a remarkable record, and Zhang Xiaotian also intends to make himself better, and other improvements before the playoffs may not be stable and useful, which is also what he has carefully considered during this time.

The Warriors' unbeaten streak is broken, but they are still the best team in the league.

The attention of the outside world will not decrease, because there is still a season win record, which was fried last season.

Klay Thompson has no problems on his side, he and Curry both seem to be of average physical fitness, but they are actually much more durable than others think.

And the physical fitness of modern players is not necessarily in terms of bouncing power.

On December 16, the Warriors returned to their home court to play the Suns.

"Going 24-1 is very different from being undefeated," Curry said before the game, "no more answering questions about undefeated, no more seeing creative T-shirts on the sidelines and so on." We can play basketball well. Obviously, if we want to keep winning, we have to take the game to new heights. ”

In this game, Zhang Xiaotian, Curry, Klay Thompson and Green all got into the groove quickly, and all four of them hit double-doubles in the first half, and the team also led to double digits.

The Suns, who had suffered consecutive defeats before, were completely unable to resist their offense, and after the Warriors stepped up their rhythm in the third quarter, the opponent collapsed all at once.

Klay Thompson exploded with 27 points in the third quarter, allowing the team's main players to clock out of work.

is still so powerful, and there is no mental pressure, and the outside world exclaims that the warriors are even more difficult to defeat.

And next, they are going to fight the Bucks again, and fans are also very concerned.

"Actually, it's not necessary, there are many factors that cause you to lose, and it's not because of who the opponent is." Zhang Xiaotian said in an interview, "Whether it's the Bucks or other teams, we will play a good game and defeat the opponent, and there is no other emotion." ”

It's also because the Warriors have played so well this season that reporters will care about this kind of boring question.

Enemies of the Warriors, to be honest, the Bucks are not qualified enough.

The Bucks changed the starting lineup this time, which is actually the No. 1 position changed from O.J. Mayo to McCarvey.

In fact, these two people Kidd are not very satisfied, so they will exchange for each other.

McCarvey may have been chosen this time because he defended Curry fairly well last time.

But in reality, the main reason for the last loss was the Warriors themselves.

At the beginning of the game, the Bucks played well, but it was completely different from the last game.

On the court, it was Monroe who played well on the inside, and this time it was McCarvey who attacked Curry.

It is also because both coaches have made adjustments, and in this regard, neither coach is a rigid person.

However, if you attack from the outside, you have to consider the Bucks' means.

Zhang Xiaotian, Klay Thompson, Iguodala, Draymond Green, this blockade is not something that anyone can break.

Obviously, the Bucks have also made a lot of preparation, their record is not good, and Kidd is also trying to beat the Warriors again to motivate the team and turn things around.

Speaking of which, the Bucks' forward line is really good, Chris Middleton, Jabari Parker, Giannis Antetokounmpo, can suppress the Warriors' five small for a certain amount of reason, so the Warriors really can't take it lightly.
