Chapter 422: Meet the Buck Again
The Spurs are coming, and everyone originally confirmed that the Warriors joined by Durant were the public enemy of the whole people, but now the aura of the public enemy has been snatched by the Spurs.
It's so ferocious, the two top players in the front line are really arrogant.
The Warriors also have two All-Stars on the front, but Draymond Green is a little lower.
Of course, the knights are barely counted, but Lefu is still an inside attribute, not the kind of all-round warrior who can attack, defend and organize the other two teams.
The outside world can't help but imagine what it would be like if three or more of these players were on the same team.
Now basketball is different from ancient times, the position of players has become more and more blurred, and the top forward in the league can play several positions on both offensive and defensive ends.
Many people's minds are active, but now the Bucks, who have gathered five fronts, have been selectively ignored because of their low grade.
On January 7, the Spurs sat at home and faced the challenge of the Hornets.
Compared to last time, the Hornets have made some changes to their lineup, such as Hibbert giving up his starting position.
The Hornets actually played well that time, but the Spurs were more powerful in key moments.
The opponent also played well at the beginning of this game, but there was still a difference from last time.
It's still Walker who is strong, but this time Walker didn't connect the team.
Unlike in the past, this time the Spurs' bench played well, Mills played normally, and Dedmon and Bertans were pleasantly surprised.
Hibbert on the Hornets side played well, but he didn't match the team's style, and the Hornets didn't give him much time to perform.
Having a good start but not taking the opportunity, Hibbert is not uncommon in the league, and it is estimated that he can even play as a substitute after squandering his talent.
In the world of competitive sports, you can't survive without hard work.
The Spurs actually didn't play badly, but Aldridge and Gasol were pitted again, as for Parker, there was no way, Parker's value lies in offense, after Zhang Xiaotian, Leonard and others robbed the opponent's tactical position, Parker's decline is inevitable.
** Vicky did not curse this time, but silently adjusted the players' playing time in the second half.
Everyone understood that they played a playoff-level defense in the third quarter, and the Hornets withered all at once.
Walker's level is really a little worse.
In the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian directly harvested the game, and the Spurs won easily.
Dedmon got a double-double this time and was also interviewed by reporters.
Zhang Xiaotian will certainly not be stingy with praise for this buddy, "He has always been very positive, but he has become more mature at Spurs." He knows when to block and when to rush to the basket. ”
With the Spurs' results so good that there is speculation about whether they will break the longest winning streak and whether the Warriors' winning streak that they just broke last season will be updated.
Zhang Xiaotian's remarks when he joined the Spurs were also turned over, and he just thought he was arrogant at the time, after all, he was considered to be holding his thighs in previous seasons, and now his words may come true.
The playoffs are still a long way off, but the conversation is fine from now on.
The media revealed that there are players who do not want to be named to teach Spurs a lesson, which will not make Zhang Xiaotian feel better.
There are also various analyses from experts who believe that Spurs cannot set a record.
There are still many fans who agree with the strength of the Spurs, but believe that Vicky will not allow the team to pursue the record, and maybe when it comes to the critical moment, all the main players will be rested.
Of course, there are discussions in the team, Zhang Xiaotian and ** Vic's concept is the same in this regard, players can't let the outside voice influence, what they have to do is to play well.
Some reporters wanted to get something out of Zhang Xiaotian's mouth, but they were quickly disappointed.
Zhang Xiaotian is still the guy who doesn't mind talking amazingly, but he has always talked about the championship, which is not an attractive remark now.
On January 10, the Spurs host the Bucks.
The Bucks' record in the East is not very good either, and they are decent, but their style of play is a headache.
The Bucks are the starters of the four forward line without point guards this time, and Aldridge is out of the Spurs unwell.
The Spurs will not lose much strength because of this, but without Aldridge on the inside, some tactics will not be able to play, and Gasol's current age will definitely not be the same as Aldridge.
Only Jabari Parker can score in the starting team, and Antetokounmpo has been out of action for a game before, and now it seems that there is still a bit of a problem with his body, and he has not played at all.
However, their benches played well, and Monroe and Beasley did have some tricks on the scoring end.
Therefore, the Spurs can be regarded as a multi-point flower, and the score is still deadlocked.
By the second quarter, the Bucks' players were back to normal, although Antetokounmpo was still the same.
Antetokounmpo is not in good shape, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end without his assistance, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard can be said to have no scruples.
Both of them scored double-doubles in the quarter, and the Spurs relied on their attacking power to take the lead when the opposing player felt good.
The Bucks have an advantage in many aspects of this lineup, such as the offensive end can be easily misplaced, and the defensive end is rotated casually, and Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard can't get the opportunity to be misplaced.
But the disadvantages are also obvious, such as the opponent can also easily get the opportunity to misplace, such as the player's single function, and the attack and defense are prone to problems at critical moments.
In the second quarter, the Spurs had already led to double digits, but after Zhang Xiaotian went down to rest, he was caught up by the opponent by a few points.
The Bucks do have some talented players who are hard to beat with a stick.
The Spurs' problem now is not offense or defense, but uncertainty that the Bucks' player will step up and perform like the opposing bench before.
They have to do a good job of defending as a whole, Aldridge is not there, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard have to take more responsibility, not just offense.
In the third quarter, Antetokounmpo did not play, and the Spurs almost completely suppressed the opposing team's main lineup, but Beasley was hot and scored more than double in the first quarter.
Although Beasley has been wandering and has not been able to get a good contract, his talent is unquestionable, and the offensive end is completely unreasonable.
On the Spurs' side, even if there is one less strong point, ** Vicky will not fight for the main force.
Not being able to do your best in the regular season is the best coaching style of Vicky.
This is actually metaphysics, just like if you don't do your best in a mock exam, you can get a surprise result in the official exam.
But in reality, it can also lead to the team not knowing its strongest strength.
Zhang Xiaotian doesn't care about this, if he can win, he won't watch the team lose, and in fact, many people in the team also want to see the birth of records.
