Chapter 496: Fatigue Period

The Trail Blazers' defense is actually okay, Evan Turner and Harkless can both block in front of Zhang Xiaotian, and Nurkic's help defense is also okay.

However, in addition to the internal and external cooperation of Zhang Xiaotian and Aldridge, there was a small accident today.

That is, Ginobili feels very hot, and they are prone to accidents when they pinch Zhang Xiaotian.

In fact, C.J. McRum also came to feel it, and he and Zhang Xiaotian also soared for a few minutes.

The Trail Blazers still need core players to solve problems at the end, and C.J. McRum has done a good job.

It's just that the Spurs did better, Zhang Xiaotian scored at the same time, and the ball was distributed to the outside, Ginobili hit four three-pointers, and Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stottes was speechless.

They don't give up easily, it's just that time is getting shorter and smaller.

After C.J. McCum's three-pointer missed at 35 seconds, their chances were slim.

The Trailblazers considered whether to foul, Zhang Xiaotian raised his hand and hit another three-pointer, don't think about it now, they are completely out of play, and the Spurs will go to the next city.

Zhang Xiaotian scored 33 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists this time, and had a triple-double.

If he plays a little more selfishly this season, he may be able to average a triple-double per game.

However, it is difficult to think about it carefully, and the team will not give him that much time on the ball.

It's better to brush up more points and help the team win more is more promising.

He's still in the top few of the MVP predictions anyway, so it's good to help the team improve their results while maintaining that momentum.

He's consistent enough and he feels like he's got a chance this season.

The second game of the back-to-back is to fight the king, and the king's current situation is a little confused, and he has not done well and has not focused on cultivating newcomers, so he has to get by.

However, they started to play really well this time, the center Stein is in good shape, the substitutes are also active, and there is really no way to take the opponent against the Spurs in back-to-back games away from home.

At half-time, Vicky made demands on the team's defense.

Now the strength of several foreign main forces, including the main rotation, is about the same, and the Spurs' defense is not aimed at anyone, and the overall defense must be done well.

Then there's the offense, and you have to be more resolute.

On the court in the third quarter, Zhang Xiaotian forced himself in and blew the horn of the Spurs' offense.

Aldridge is playing better and better against Randolph, and the Spurs' offense is more alive.

When Aldridge was playing well, the Spurs were also the easiest and most threatening on the offensive end.

They expanded the attacking area, and Zhang Xiaotian scored several times from the outside, disrupting the Kings' defensive confidence.

And Stein was not a strong interior on the offensive end, and after being noticed by the Spurs, he did not have a stunning performance, and the situation was slowly controlled by the Spurs.

The Kings were able to lead the Spurs with some super play, and now that the Spurs have increased their defensive intensity, they are playing a little harder.

The more difficult it is, the more formal the fight, and they obviously can't compete with the Spurs one by one.

This is the problem of the team's heritage, I don't know how to keep the lead, once I am caught up, I will panic, and the previous feeling will be lost.

In the fourth quarter, it was Zhang Xiaotian's performance time again.

The Kings couldn't hold on, they didn't have a strong core player, and now they don't know what to do when someone needs to step up.

is still fighting like before, but no one is sure of what to do.

The usual shooting is not the same as the shooting at the critical moment, and when Zhang Xiaotian hit two three-pointers in a row, the king lost the confidence to fight again.

A team that doesn't have a clear goal for the season won't be desperate for a win.

Halfway through the game, it's also a time when the players are tired.

The Spurs, as the public enemy of the whole people, are really not amazing enough, and many times it is not until the last quarter that the opponent is crushed.

Vicky is also pondering that by the time the All-Star season comes, the team's starting lineup will also be stable.

Parker's condition and physical condition are not very good, and the old man is also planning to let Ai General go to the bench, and he will also cut his playing time.

There are no problems on Leonard's side, and the Spurs want to make some small trades to see if they can add some players on the offensive end.

The interior line is not perfect enough, and Dedmon is not a big player in the small-ball era, but it is not bad either.

The most important thing is the health of the team, and they will gradually prepare for the playoffs.

On January 11, the Spurs played the Lakers away.

The Lakers actually want to work hard every summer, and they are not short of money, but the results have been average in recent years.

Last summer, they signed Pope for 18 million a year and traded Lopez for Lopez.

However, it is the young and the rookies who are still looking forward to them, and three of the four rookies this year have shown good quality.

Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma and Josh Hart, especially Kuzma, were very pleasantly surprised.

There are a lot of players who don't fit in when they enter the league from the college league, and there are players who are amazing in college who come into the league and then they don't fit in, but there are also the opposite.

There are some players who are very suitable for professional play and burst out stronger than others as soon as they enter the league, and Kuzma and the Jazz's Mitchell are more pleasantly surprised.

The Lakers are young and aggressive, and Ingram and Lonzo Ball caused a lot of problems for the Spurs at the beginning of this game.

Of course, there were some problems with the Spurs' hand, and Zhang Xiaotian's shooting rate was not very good.

This is the second time in a row, although the Lakers' young players are good, but their strength is about the same as the belly of a fish, and the strength of the Spurs should be pressed by most teams, rather than any team having to rely on halftime to adjust their tactics.

** Vicky hasn't opened his mouth to curse, and Zhang Xiaotian spoke first during the pause.

"Guys, we're the defending champions, that's not where we should be."

Zhang Xiaotian, as the core of the team, must be responsible for the current situation of the team.

"I'm going to review first, I'm not good enough, but I'm going to make a difference by example, and we have to play with the pride of the defending champions. Be positive, be positive...... I'm in for a treat after the game. ”

The final turn erased the heaviness on everyone's faces in an instant, and Vicky couldn't help but quip, "What a treat, is it so difficult to play well, why mix other things...... Remember to call me. ”

"Alright, go tell those young boys that the Alliance is a cruel place."

On the court again, the Spurs' defensive rotation speed has increased significantly.

They were shot a lot of threes by the Lakers before, and now they don't allow it.

Even if the opponent is not very strong, they must be treated seriously.

This kind of thing will form a habit, and there is no room for taking it lightly on the road to defending the title, they must correct their attitude and work hard.
