The Pacers are also experts in defense, and Zhang Xiaotian's addition of singles is a way to solve the problems on the offensive end, but the cost is too great.

So just four minutes after the third quarter, Vicky made a decisive adjustment.

First go up to Gerard Green to increase the height of the perimeter, then go up to Evans and Ginobili, let Zhang Xiaotian and Aldridge stay on the court and play one big and four small.

The Spurs' offense is finally coming alive, and the Pacers are also deploying troops, allowing Thaddeus Young and Lance Stephenson to take turns consuming Zhang Xiaotian.

After the Spurs caught up with the score, they did not entangle with the other party, Zhang Xiaotian and Aldridge should rest or rest.

As long as the opponent does not take the opportunity to open the score, their goal has been achieved, and the fourth quarter is the time to harvest.

On the court in the last quarter, Zhang Xiaotian let the Pacers' defenders see what a player of his level is, and simple pinch tactics can't prevent it at all.

With just two minutes to go, Spurs had a tendency to pull away.

The Pacers quickly called a timeout and replaced Oladipo and Sabonis to fight the Spurs for offense.

The Pacers' main lineup is much stronger offensively, but the defense may not be much better.

The Spurs didn't rush to put the strongest lineup, and only after Aldridge had enough rest did Vic make adjustments.

With two strong points, the Spurs are ready to strike a fatal blow at the Pacers.

But things didn't go so well, and Oladipo got his way.

Oladipo has always been good, but he has never been the No. 1 tactical core, and when he came to the Pacers and stood directly in this position, many people thought he couldn't do it, but in fact he did better than many expected.

Danny Green couldn't get Oladipo, in fact, he was okay in front, but now Oladipo has shown super explosiveness and fiery touch, which can be said to be a direct explosion.

Zhang Xiaotian did not directly change the defense, but took another way to help the team, that is, to respond directly on the offensive end.

"Oladipo hit another three-pointer, and the Pacers didn't give up an inch."

"Aldridge fouls...... The ball still went in, Oladipo was too physical. ”

"It's coming, it's coming, Zhang Xiaotian is facing three points, and the walkers can't prevent him at all."

"The battle of the core players is really exciting."

In the final five minutes of the game, the Spurs chose a big four lineup, and there was a bit of a loss in rebounding, and Sabonis also took the opportunity to score inside.

Both sides are very efficient in attack, and if either side hits a few irons, the outcome of the game may be decided in an instant.

Aldridge is often difficult to balance defense and offense, and at this time, the Spurs did not arrange complex tactics, that is, when Zhang Xiaotian played alone, just like the Pacers let Oladipo play alone.

The two barely missed, and with a few minutes left in the game, they had already scored double-doubles.

The Pacers bit the score and had the posture to fight with the Spurs until the last second.

At this time, Danny Green, who had been bullied by Oladipo, finally made a contribution and directly cut off the basketball in Oladipo's hand, which was wiping inside.

Zhang Xiaotian took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, a feint outside the three-point line wiped inside, Thaddeus Yang couldn't help but stretch out his hand, Zhang Xiaotian was pulled and staggered, but still scored the ball, 2+1.

After hitting the free throw, the Spurs' lead has reached 8 points, and the form is very good.

The point is, there are just over two minutes left.

Next, Oladipo also hit 2+1 and sent an assist to hit three points, and the efficiency continued to be a mess, but Zhang Xiaotian did not give the other party a chance to lead the team to overtake.

In 30 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian hit another three-pointer to increase his personal score to 41 points, and the score gap between the two sides also came to 8 points again, and the Pacers finally gave up.

The problems exposed by the team are still the same, but Zhang Xiaotian avoided the Spurs' losing streak with his strong personal strength.

But in the back-to-back away games the next day, Zhang Xiaotian's physical strength also had some problems, and the Spurs lost to the Celtics.

The Celtics made two big moves in the summer, getting Irving and Hayward, bringing in the interior lineman Baines, and getting the Tanhua Tatum who can become an instant force, and they immediately became a strong team with both individual and team strength.

However, last year's heroes of their murderous East Finals were all sold, including Thomas Jr., who played with injuries and received numerous praises from the head coach, and Bradley, who fought to the end with the Cavaliers.

The alliance is a place of interest, and some things must not be taken seriously.

I don't know if the Celtics are too ruthless, they suffered an injury in the first game of the season, and the All-Star level Hayward injury is estimated to be reimbursed for the season.

But this season, the Celtics are still a team that has both offense and defense, especially on the defensive end, which has improved a lot.

Their young players Jaylen Brown and Rozier have both been greatly improved, and rookie Tatum has both offense and defense, and Zhang Xiaotian has tasted the taste of team strangulation.

In October, the Spurs' record was not good or bad, and Leonard's absence still had a big impact.

But they haven't been at full strength, Evans has shown his quality, and he needs to be put to good use of it, and the performances of several other players have also reassured the team, and the money paid in the summer has not been thrown into the water.

The next thing is to run in well, and the other thing is to wait for Leonard to return.

Leonard and Parker are actually recovering well, but it's a little repetitive, the Spurs are not in a hurry, and their record is not too bad with the current lineup, and the regular season games are all for the playoffs.

For example, last season, the Spurs also encountered injuries one after another, but in the playoffs they have almost no problems, and they are more stable than many teams, which is the credit of the stability of the regular season.

Don't be in a hurry, accumulate strength, and use good steel on the blade.

The Spurs are going to play the Warriors in their first game in November, and the Warriors must be eager to get revenge, and the Spurs can only say that they will do their best.

The Warriors mainly renewed his contract in the summer, renewing Curry for 201 million for five years, renewing Durant for 53 million for two years, Durant took a salary cut, and the Warriors managers are also powerful, renewing Iguodala for 48 million for three years and renewing Livingston for 2400 for three years.

As for the rest, it's basically a small contract, and they also signed singles king Nick Young, so it can be said that while maintaining the lineup, there are reinforcements, and this season will definitely be with the Spurs.

In this game, the Spurs went all out to play an advantage in the first half, but in the second half, they finally couldn't withstand the bombardment of the Warriors in turn and unfortunately lost.

In Leonard's absence, the Spurs not only have less offense, but in the face of a strong opponent like the Warriors, defense is a big problem, and the team must change.

**After much deliberation, Vicky finally decided to make adjustments to the main lineup. Reading a book and finding the latest chapters by yourself? You're out, WeChat attention Beauty editor helps you find books! It's really a good book to flirt with girls!
