Chapter 345: Lack of staff

The scores in two consecutive games were not ideal, and Zhang Xiaotian was also a little unhappy.

There is such a thing as data, and you don't want to fall down when you go to that level.

Fortunately, playing back-to-back games against the Nets away, Zhang Xiaotian finally got 20+ again.

The Nets are now completely out of energy, and they are probably already thinking about a good signing for next season.

So after passing the Raptors, the next Nets were gifted, and the opening 22 consecutive wins were achieved.

At the beginning, when the Warriors won the streak, the outside world was still discussing who could finish them, and now everyone is too lazy to say it, and they all go to the spinach company to bet.

originally thought that it was impossible for a team to be strong enough to crush under the scientific training of modern basketball, but this season's Warriors have shaken this view.

Zhang Xiaotian has worked hard in the past few days, and finally fed his wife.

President Yang also quickly transformed into a fan manager and began to canvass for Zhang Xiaotian.

On December 8, the Warriors continued their Eastern Conference road trip to Indiana to challenge the Pacers.

The Pacers' roster has changed dramatically this season, with the original interior duo of Hibbert and David West both leaving, and the team promoting Ian Mashinmi to play one big and four small.

However, Paul George is fully fit and getting stronger, and the Pacers are off to a good start.

With the acquisition of Monta Ellis in the summer, along with George Hill and C.J. Myers, they have successfully transformed from an inside powerhouse to an outside powerhouse.

However, the change on the inside has made the Pacers' defensive ability much worse, and although their overall defense is still strong, it is no longer at the level it once was.

The Pacers played one big and four small, and Paul George went to the No. 4 position, so that the main defense on the Warriors' side became Draymond Green, and Zhang Xiaotian only needed to change defenses part of the time, and the task was much easier.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Xiaotian, Curry and Klay Thompson were all at the same time.

There is no way, the three of the Pacers' big four and small backcourt are a little thinner and completely suppressed.

As a result, only Paul George was left to score, and of course the key was that their defense was not enough.

With the Warriors blossoming more, they led by double digits in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Pacers adjusted their defense, but in terms of position, even if they changed the defense, they could not completely withstand Zhang Xiaotian and other three main attack points, and they had to make trade-offs.

The result was that although Curry only hit one three-pointer, Klay Thompson hit four.

Hit eight three-pointers in the first half and scored 29 points, and it was Curry who always exploded, and Klay Thompson finally couldn't help it.

And for the Warriors to score 79 points in the half, the Pacers' defense was helpless.

Klay Thompson was still on track in the third quarter, and the game quickly turned into garbage time.

Zhang Xiaotian also hurriedly brushed up 20 points, but Klay Thompson was very happy and sad, and he stumbled.

Although the post-match examination was not serious, the team decided to give him a rest.

After all, the Warriors have won 23 consecutive games in the opening season, and there is really no need to fight with players.

"Can you predict how long the Warriors will be able to keep their start unbeaten?"

"It's not a good prediction, so I might as well predict the championship this season."

In front of reporters, Zhang Xiaotian's answer is already very familiar to everyone, even if someone is unhappy, he has to hold back, who let him play for three seasons and have three rings, which can anger a large number of people.

Then the Warriors went back-to-back on the road, and they continued to win like this, as if the schedule couldn't be seen.

The first opponent of this back-to-back was the Celtics, who only made some simple adjustments in the summer, exchanging garbage contracts with other teams or something, and by the way, made the team's configuration more reasonable.

The biggest change is that Isaiah Thomas has impressed the head coach with his excellent performance and has become the heart of the team.

The basketball core of 1.75 meters amazed the outside world.

The team's current results are okay, and Brad Stevens' ability to build a good team without needing any top players has also been admired by many people.

The premium acquisition of Amir Johnson has given the Celtics a slight improvement in their defensive ability, but they mainly rely on overall defense.

The overall defense of the Celtics is still mainly one word, and that is to fight.

Klay Thompson doesn't play, and Zhang Xiaotian and Curry enjoy tighter defensive treatment.

Curry needs to adjust his touch, Zhang Xiaotian is the same, Jay Crowder's defense is still not bad.

On the Celtics' side, Bradley rushed hard, and without Klay Thompson, it affected not only the offense, but also the Warriors' outside defense.

But when Iguodala comes in, things will change.

Unlike the Celtics, who played against the weakness of the Warriors, Zhang Xiaotian and Curry were very targeted, but they still had some scoring ability, and Draymond Green also increased his shots.

The tactics of the two sides are different, but the result is similar, and the Warriors only relied on the play of the main force to outscore the opponent by 1 point in the first quarter.

By the second quarter, Bradley was locked up by Iguodala, and the Celtics began to use Isaiah Thomas as an axis to increase their interior attack.

Whether Klay Thompson plays or not, the interior must be a pain for the Warriors.

The Celtics aren't very strong on the inside either, but they have a strong ability to take chances.

Coach Stevens is appreciated by so many people and is a very capable coach.

Under pressure from the opposing team, the Warriors increased the playing time of Livingston and Iguodala, constantly switching between a one-four-small and a five-small lineup.

The Celtics did play very targeted, but after Curry gradually regained some touch, two three-pointers wasted the success of the opponent's efforts for a few minutes.

In the first half, the Warriors still led by four points.

Even with the absence of two major rotation players, there is no doubt about their quality.

In the third quarter, the Celtics changed their strategy again, and the big man pulled to the outside to shoot, which actually had the same effect as the Warriors' small lineup.

On the Warriors' side, Zhang Xiaotian began to exert his strength, and the glorious effect of his new skill championship is not as obvious as other skills, but it is still very effective to change from his average of more than one assist per game to a fast five.

Coupled with his enhanced strength, the singles success rate is still good.

When Curry doesn't have a good hand, he can help the team with the ball.

In order for the Celtics to be a big man who can shoot three-pointers offensively, the interior defense is much worse, and a forward player with status like Zhang Xiaotian broke out at the right time.

Although the score was not as fast as the three-point brush, the Warriors held the lead steadily.

Coach Stevens pinched his chin, playing at this time no tactics are so good, to turn the score over in the final quarter, you must have stars to stand up, this is the NBA.
