Chapter 154: The New Legion is not easy to fight
"Hey, why is your defense so bad." Zhang whistled after hitting a two-point shot in front of Crawford.
Crawford was silent and abrupt, and finally did not come suddenly, and scored a difficult two points.
Crawford gave a look of disdain...... Uh, it doesn't seem to be, this dude just looks like this.
James went down to rest, and Zhang Xiaotian began to score points with Crawford very happily.
The Clippers grabbed points for three guards, and Crawford squeezed into the No. 3 position and faced Zhang Xiaotian.
This buddy's height and weight are already at a loss in the No. 3 position, and the defense is careless, Zhang Xiaotian likes it very much.
Even the opponent's attack is also very unreasonable, which is a little embarrassing, but it is not a provocation if there are back and forth, Zhang Xiaotian keeps talking trash in his mouth to increase the chance.
Of course, Crawford's singles can't kill the Heat.
Zhang Xiaotian stared at him, he was only at the level of two into one, if it weren't for this bastard's pace being too fast, Zhang Xiaotian would definitely be able to defend better.
The key is the defensive scum of the Clippers' three-guard lineup, and whether J.J. Redick and Crawford can stop James, Wade and Zhang Xiaotian, the answer is that they can't.
Little Jordan was tired of running for his life, and was finally brought down by James and Zhang Xiaotian together.
The rest of Griffin's national team is good, in defense he is far from Jordan Jr., the Heat team is not afraid of interior attacks, anyway, it will be 2 points at a time, and it will be a big deal.
There is no one to assist in the defense on the inside, let alone the two big guys, even Zhang Xiaotian, and the Clippers can't prevent it.
In just a few minutes, the Heat extended their lead to double digits.
To chase points, the Clippers have to put Crawford at the No. 3 position to play three guards, and if they put Crawford at the No. 3 position, there will be problems on defense, which is basically an endless loop.
In the end, the Clippers still have to put Jordan Jr. on the court.
It's just that there is not much time at this time, and the Heat no longer pinch Griffin, but stare at the opponent's three-point line.
Griffin chased a few points in a row, but it was too slow to chase points on the inside.
Zhang Xiaotian kept asking for the ball here, and he was extremely excited on the offensive end.
Finally, after making a foul on Griffin, he raised his head to the sky and roared.
Griffin was very depressed, he didn't remember that he had a grudge with Zhang Xiaotian, how could he be so happy to be shocked.
In fact, it has nothing to do with him, Zhang Xiaotian hit a free throw, and his score went up to 20 for the first time this season.
It can be said that Griffin was helpless to play several singles in the last moments, and what they needed was three points.
J.J. Redick's three-point shot was interfered with by Wade, Chris Paul made a strong shot, which was also an iron, and Crawford's long-range three-pointer was almost prejudged to be successful.
In the end, the Clippers were helpless.
At 104:95, the Heat won again, and Zhang Xiaotian scored 21 points and 5 rebounds.
The Heat and Pacers are still undefeated in the league, and it is clear that the Pacers will be their biggest enemy in the East.
As for the west, most of the strong teams have already suffered a defeat, but several teams are aggressive.
The strong teams have shown their grandeur, and some ambitious teams are running in.
A team like the Heat is going for a championship, and as long as something goes wrong, they may break up, which has nothing to do with personal feelings, but this is their contract year.
"Why did the team arrange for you to play as a substitute in this game, is it because of the ball problem?"
"It's for victory."
"But today's starting lineup was not very efficient, so it can be said that it was a failure."
"Wrong, we won, so the team didn't lose."
Zhang Xiaotian answered reporters' questions and did not break any big news.
His attention was not here, and he finally scored 21 points in this game, but the system did not prompt it at all.
Crawford was told so much by him, didn't he have the slightest idea of provoking him?
Zhang Xiaotian was a little depressed at first, but after thinking about it, he soon stopped being entangled.
He's too obsessed with system tasks these days, and even if it's good, it's basketball that he really wants to enjoy.
Training hard and beating opponents on the pitch is what he's after.
Putting too much emphasis on the task is putting the cart before the horse, the pursuit of the championship is what he wants, and as for other tasks, just follow the trend.
Therefore, if he gets 20+, he should be happy, regardless of whether it has anything to do with the task or not.
The next few games will be at home, so it will be a little easier.
On the training ground, Spoelstra began to re-observe Zhang Xiaotian, but the more he observed, the more confused he became.
As for James, he didn't start to be so enthusiastic about pulling Zhang Xiaotian for confrontation training.
As long as it can be used in the game, he also encouraged Zhang Xiaotian as a big man.
Maybe he's getting stronger, and James is optimistic.
On November 9th, the Celtics came to attack after a big change in the summer.
The Celtics have completely rebuilt, not only have they traded all the former bigwigs away, but even the coach has changed, and the coach Brad Stevens, who was born in the NCAA, is very team-oriented, and has no intention of snatching the top pick with a bad hand.
He also has the means, and tens of millions of rotten contracts are all put on the bench.
On the Heat's side, Zhang Xiaotian is back in the main lineup.
The Celtics don't have a strong interior line to help defend, and there is no offensive end, so it doesn't matter whether James plays the No. 3 or No. 4 position.
In fact, the current Celtics have a bit of a low-profile version of the Heat, and all five positions can be pulled out to vote.
Of course, they don't have a super player like James, and it's a bit more complicated to play tactics.
At the beginning of the game, the Celtics' starting lineup was hit hard by the Heat, and they had to make adjustments before the half-quarter arrived, otherwise the number of interior fouls would not be able to support it.
However, now the difference between the strength of the Celtics' main force and the bench is not so big, and the Heat will not feel any difference at all after their adjustment.
Moreover, their lineup can keep up with the speed of the Heat.
During the rotation period, Courtney Lee, Gerard Wallace, Humphries and others on the Celtics bench scored points one after another and turned the score over.
The Celtics played eleven players, and everyone scored points.
This kind of multi-point flowering situation is not only difficult to prevent from the heat, but also who comes.
Many college coaches have come to the NBA to adapt to the soil, but I didn't expect the young coach to let the Celtics play a tactical combination similar to the NCAA in a short period of time.
At halftime, it was the Heat who trailed by one point.
It was a shock to them, and this season they have played well against opponents who have not changed much, but it is not the first time that they have had trouble with this kind of army with a lot of newcomers.
