At the gate of the school, Eddie was still waiting for Zhang Xiaotian, Zhang Xiaotian took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, and after getting into the car, he apologized: "I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Eddie disagreed, threw away the cigarette in his hand, and said with a smile, "My service has always been top-notch. ”

Zhang Xiaotian thought about it for a while and said: "I didn't charge money for today's endorsement, so your share will be deducted from my other endorsement fees." ”

When it comes to commercial endorsements, agents can share more than the team's contract.

The Jisi family is Zhang Xiaotian's personal friend, and it really has nothing to do with Eddie.

"Brother, what do you think of me, your friend is my friend, don't talk about this anymore, soon we will all have a good income, I have to rely on you to take care of it."

The look on Eddie's face suddenly became serious, "To be honest, brother, I used to be a bit of a fool, but I also had a dream when I came out of CAA, and now that the opportunity is in front of me, I won't let you down." ”

Zhang Xiaotian laughed, he was a little distrustful of Eddie before, but these days Eddie has shown good work ability, and he has slowly recognized the other party.

If the other party only recognizes money, Zhang Xiaotian will consider substitution, as a rookie who has just entered the league, or a substitute player, it can be said that it is a miracle to be able to have commercial value.

Those who can share this miracle together must be people with good tempers and appetites.

On November 19, the Spurs met the Clippers again, and the last time they were reversed, this time the Clippers were also full of energy.

The starting lineup of the Spurs has changed again, Zhang Xiaotian has become a substitute again, and Popovich is also testing the lineup.

After the Clippers were unexpectedly overturned by the Spurs, their form was not affected, and they won the next few games.

But when the two teams met again, it was not only them who were holding back their strength, and the Spurs' inside line was not convinced last time.

This time, Duncan was ruthless as soon as he came up, and the scoring block took the lead for the team to gain the score advantage.

It's just that Stephen Jackson, who was put on the starter, played very awkwardly, he was really old, although he was not as old as Duncan, but his strength had declined significantly.

Before playing as a substitute, he could also use his experience to bully the players in the rotation, or play a chaotic battle, and fight hard with the starters, and he couldn't bear it.

Soon, Popovich replaced Zhang Xiaotian.

Although Zhang Xiaotian in the first three quarters is inconspicuous, he is young and hardworking.

It's just that when Duncan was rested, the team's interior line encountered another crisis.

After all, he doesn't have the physical strength of Griffin and Jordan Jr., and it is impossible for him to fight each other all the time.

Without interior support, Parker and Ginobili were forced to shoot from the outside in a row, and their hands were not very good, and the Clippers took the lead all of a sudden.

In the third quarter, the Clippers' Paul began to exert his strength, scoring and assisting, and comprehensively suppressed Parker.

The Spurs could only rely on Duncan to fight, and Zhang Xiaotian was also anxious, he thought about using the card pack he just got, but immediately rejected the idea.

His contract has been regularized and he has a chance to play on the team, so the random card pack should be reserved for more crucial games, and he will have a chance to fight back in the fourth quarter.

Unexpectedly, the Clippers were very wary of him, and as soon as he scored 2 points in the fourth quarter, the Clippers began to guard him strictly, marking people on the outside, and hitting him immediately with the ball.

The Spurs were a mess on the inside except for Duncan, and they played another big and four in the final quarter, and without Leonard, Popovich activated Matt Bonner and let him put cold arrows on the outside.

Zhang Xiaotian saw that the opponent's defense was on his side, so he made an offensive appearance to break through the ball, and the Spurs' outside line immediately got a lot of opportunities, and the score gap was slowly narrowing.

However, the situation is more troublesome after the Clippers are also switched to one big and four small, and Paul, Eric Bledsoe, Crawford and Barnes are also moving quickly on the outside.

After Eric Bledsoe made a foul, the Clippers led by eight points with only two minutes remaining.

Zhang Xiaotian was not able to perform a miracle again, even if he could use skills, he was not a supergiant, and he scored 4 points in the last two minutes, he had done his best, and the Spurs also ushered in their first defeat after ten consecutive wins in the opening game.

He scored 13 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the whole game, and most of the statistics were obtained in the last quarter, proving his ability at critical moments, but everything is meaningless when he loses.

'Don't ask me about scoring, I just want to help the team win, I didn't do enough this time, I'm going to work harder.'

When I'm in a bad mood, it's really unpleasant for reporters to ask about the last game.

It's not just a matter of losing a win point, he's a professional athlete and he wants to win, or his personality doesn't like to lose, especially in basketball.

"That old man should give you a little more playing time, a starter is so stingy, if it weren't for the fact that your team would have lost a few games, don't be upset."

"I'm much better to hear you say that, but it's okay if the team is still in first place in the West and loses a game, I just think I can be a little better."

"You're very good, the players I dug out are the best, in fact, you can shoot more, don't feel embarrassed, those stars are not desperate shots, modesty is not good."

"I'm not as good as you, you've seen everything."

It's good to have a girlfriend, and this is the time to heal.

Maybe he liked that guy from the beginning, after all, men need someone to praise him.

So he and Emily can't get together, and the proud girl always says he can't.

However, he has to improve his strength faster, only if his own strength is stronger, the bonus of skills will be stronger.

Training, training hard, he wants to improve his strength step by step, Zhang Xiaotian secretly decided.

The next day he was the first to go to the training ground, he was not talented enough to work harder.

The injured Leonard can only do recovery training, and the others are still the same.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for something to go wrong again, and Stephen Jackson, who was a little angry with Zhang Xiaotian in the confrontation, was injured.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't make a black hand, it was Stephen Jackson who was inexplicably injured when he received the ball with his old arm and leg.

Now it's okay, there is only Zhang Xiaotian left in the third position.

If Stephen Jackson had been injured before Leonard, Zhang Xiaotian might have been a little lucky, but the current situation is that the Spurs' employment is a bit troublesome.

But at the start of the season, from a laid-back summer to high-intensity training games, injuries are inevitable for every team.

The Spurs will play four away games in the East next, and players who have not been in the squad before have a chance.

All sorts of things happen during the long NBA season, and the only way to get a chance is to train hard to improve your strength, so that when the team needs you, you can have the bottom of it.
