This season, the Warriors have a good record, and with the presence of Ku Hao, Zhang Xiaotian does not have many chances to kill.

When it comes to the playoffs, will he be able to withstand the pressure and continue to be magical?

"I can't let him catch the ball, I don't care who they want to give the ball to, I can't let him catch the ball."

Although Rockets head coach Bickerstaff has a lot of tactics to be discussed, he still knows what to do at this time.

The Warriors caught the ball and played a little trick, Draymond Green pulled out, and Zhang Xiaotian went down.

But Zhang Xiaotian immediately returned at a faster pace halfway through the run, squeezing past Draymond Green to catch the ball.

The players on both sides collided in a ball, Zhang Xiaotian squeezed through by force, and the rocket was also helpless.

After receiving the ball, there was a ready-made cover, but Zhang Xiaotian did not rush in, because the Rockets had three players on this side.

Zhang Xiaotian turned around and rushed to the middle, and the Rocket's players immediately followed.

Iguodala also went down after serving, the Warriors' tactics looked complicated, but the time was only so big, and the players' runs were all for Zhang Xiaotian's side.

Zhang Xiaotian's handling at this time was very simple, he pulled the ball back, and stepped back to shoot three points.

Ariza reacted the quickest, jumping up with all her might, but still didn't touch the basketball.

Everyone's eyes were on the basket, and boom, the basketball fell in.

"Lore, three-point lore, the Warriors beat the Rockets away and won the match point ......"

Zhang Xiaotian pointed his finger to the sky and watched his teammates on the bench rush towards him.

32 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, a top-level All-Star level performance, and in this year's playoffs, another core player of the team has appeared.

Curry's rest made Zhang Xiaotian show his grandeur in advance.

At halftime in today's game, TNT celebrity Charles Barkley said in his prediction of the outcome, "The Rockets will definitely collapse and lose to the Warriors in the second half." ”

After the game, he was very embarrassed, "Man, you know, I have already made an apology, Zhang is really strong, this year's Warriors are too strong." ”

At the press conference after the game, Zhang Xiaotian's expression was very cool, and he used the shortest words to solve all the problems with traps, and of course he didn't forget to pretend to compare, "You must know that I just did what I promised, a little bit of meaning." ”

There was also a game in the East and West on the same day, and the Thunder once again beat the Mavericks.

The Mavericks played well, but more often than not, the Thunder themselves were not in shape, and this Delon could not play, and the already weak Mavericks were more and more difficult to play.

In this matchup, the Thunder, whether it is the main force or the substitute, has exploded the Mavericks, and it can only be said that there is a hard gap in strength.

The third game between the Raptors and the Pacers, although it was the home court of the Pacers, the Raptors' two guns Lowry and DeRozan finally became normal, so the Raptors' strength was above the Pacers.

This time they knocked down the Pacers in the first half, and this year's Raptors, as long as the two cores don't have inexplicable problems, they are still very strong.

The Pacers lack a qualified second-in-command, and Paul George's characteristics are not good if they play a single core, and they want to win mainly depends on defense.

On April 22, two more teams achieved a 3-0 record, namely the Western Spurs and the Eastern Cavaliers.

There's really nothing to say about the Spurs, the Grizzlies are too weak.

Leonard also scored 32 points, but his stats were a little more dazzling than Zhang's, who also had 4 steals and 5 blocks, and made the Grizzlies cry on both ends of the floor.

The Grizzlies actually have a few defenses that are good, Tony Allen, Lance Stephenson, and Matt Barnes are also desperate enough, but none of them can stop Leonard.

Basketball is also a game where the attacker is dominant, and a single defense can't stop an All-Star level player.

Without Gasol Jr., it's not a matter of doing whatever it takes to get in with a strong striker.

On the Pistons' side, it can only be said that they tried their best, but the knights are strong.

James, Irving, and Love are all playing steadily, and they shamelessly use hack-and-kill tactics, not caring about their status as the first in the East.

Drummond really couldn't score free throws, obviously both offensive and defensive ends could be wreaking havoc on the inside, but because of a free throw, the Pistons could only replace this big killer.

So it doesn't matter if a player has shortcomings, but it can't be too short.

Of course, O'Neill was cut, but he was not completely punished, and he was quite smart at the critical moment.

Now it is not as good as the generation, because of the free throw problem Drummond, Jordan Jr. and the like, they can only honestly do big blue-collar workers.

And in the third game between the Hawks and the Celtics, the Celtics returned to their home court and finally pulled one back.

Celtic's home field is still quite strong, in fact, the strength of the two teams is not much different, and the home field advantage does have an impact.

Thomas Jr. also played the strongest game, scoring 42 points to show the strength of the short player.

It's also a career-high for him, appearing in key games in the playoffs, and it shows how rare a big heart player in the league is.

Many fans feel that the first 40+ in the playoffs came from a 175 player, and they all felt hope, and they could still play basketball well even if they were short.

According to the schedule, the Warriors can have a day off before Game 4, which is good news for them, and Curry can return more safely with a little rest.

On April 23, in the third game between the Heat and the Hornets, the Hornets returned to their home court to pull one back.

The Hornets changed their starting lineup this time, one is to return Al Jefferson to the starting lineup, and the other is that Batum is injured and replaced by Kaminsky on top.

It was right to start Al Jefferson and not blindly fight with the Heat for a small lineup.

And Batum's absence is not necessarily a good thing, Batum is indeed a good player, if he defends with peace of mind and plays without the ball, it should help the team more, if he insists on playing the organization forward to occupy more balls, it can only be said that on the stage of the playoffs, he is still a notch.

Without Batum, Jeremy Lin got more balls, and he also finished off the bench with the Heat.

Jeremy Lin is not as strong as the fans blow, nor is he as bad as Kuroko said, he has strength, but he has to dominate the ball to play his strength, and he is a little worse to be the core strength, but if the coach uses it well, he definitely has the strength to become a spoiler.

The Clippers and Trail Blazers played as the last group, and the Trail Blazers who returned to their home court showed a different kind of strength, or Lillard and C.J. McCum, who returned to their home court, showed All-Star level strength.

And the Trail Blazers' interior lineman Mason Plumlee has also shown extreme toughness, fighting the Clippers' twin towers on the inside.

This time the pot had to be carried by Griffin, and he did hit like.

So far, all teams have played Game 3 in the playoffs.

The fourth battle started with the Raptors and Pacers.
