The Rockets upped the defensive ladder, and Capela blocked the Jazz's offense multiple times.

This is all a dangerous signal, the team in the West should have a sense of crisis, the Spurs are still in a good mood at the moment, if nothing else, it will be the Rockets and the Warriors who will fight to the death, and they can sit on the hill and watch the tiger fight.

The Rockets won the match point, and the Warriors were not ambiguous, although Curry was still absent, but the Timberwolves couldn't stop their offense at all.

Not only offensively, but also the Warriors played a very high level of defense.

The Warriors' current roster does not have a No. 1 position, and Iguodala plays the starter, advancing the defensive level, so that the team can rely on defense to win without Curry.

They clearly did a good job, and in a high-level game of offense and defense, the Timberwolves didn't hold up in the second half.

Of course, the Spurs have tried this kind of lineup, Zhang Xiaotian organized the offense, the No. 1 position was mainly defensive, and the opponent was crushed with high intensity, but the Spurs now have enough No. 1 position, and there is no need to use it anymore.

That is, the Timberwolves can't play a strong offense, otherwise the Warriors will definitely have to change the formation.

And now, although Butler was still hard-mouthed in an interview, the miracle will certainly not happen.

Whether a team can turn the tables when it is weak mainly depends on the changes.

Not only the Timberwolves, but also those teams that are behind in the overall score and can't make any changes, only Liangliang.

On the Spurs' side, the fourth battle with the Thunder is finally about to begin.

The biggest change for the Thunder is Wei Shao, and at this point, Westbrook finally did not hesitate and scored with all his might from the beginning.

The Spurs' defense at the No. 1 position is not bad now, but Westbrook's physicality is top among guards, and there are not many people who can stop him when they rush up.

The other is defense, after Wei Shao took on most of the offensive responsibility, the rest of the Thunder focused most of their energy on defense.

Zhang Xiaotian now has all kinds of confrontations whether he has the ball or not.

Physical confrontation, not giving offensive space, after Zhang Xiaotian pulled a wave of hatred in front, the Thunder did not care about physical strength on the defensive end, and everyone was very concerned.

However, Zhang Xiaotian only felt excitement, he liked competitive basketball, and he liked the taste of high intensity.

This kind of opponent who fights to the extreme in every round can inspire a strong desire to win.

The opponent is desperate, some teams may just endure it, it's a big deal to go back to the home court and win again, and the momentum of the mourning soldiers cannot be sustained.

But Zhang Xiaotian has no negative thoughts, he just wants to win the game when the Thunder are the most desperate.

"Don't worry, they're going to run out."

"Give me the ball, end the series early, and we'll go home and get some rest."

** Vicky is not there, and the acting coach of the Spurs does not panic at all, and the strength of the team is here.

The strategy to deal with Wei Shao has been there since the beginning, and now that Wei Shao is attacking with all his strength, in terms of tactics, it is actually easier to restrict.

Evans finished fighting Murray, and Danny Green can also switch defenses, not to mention that the Spurs still have Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, and they are the least afraid of all kinds of ball-handling attacks in the core.

The Thunder's bench is unreliable, and now their strategy is to reduce rotation.

Westbrook, Paul George and Adams hit the top three.

As for Anthony, his current form is not able to sustain such a high-intensity game for a long time.

The Thunder looked to be playing more lively, Wei Shao was also very enthusiastic in all kinds of defensive strength, and his opening efficiency was also very good, but the score between the two sides was actually not opened.

In the face of the Thunder's final struggle, the Spurs actually played sensible.

And Zhang Xiaotian's efficiency at this point is no worse than Wei Shao, if you count organization and defense, he is much more stable than Wei Shao.

The other is consumption, and the Spurs have not yet come out of the state of fighting.

If the Thunder show signs of fatigue, the Spurs will deliver a fatal blow at any time.

"We can win, we can't just leave ......" at halftime, Wei Shao shouted.

The highest score was scored at halftime, but the Thunder trailed by one point.

Zhang Xiaotian hit the whistle at the last moment, and the Spurs easily entered the locker room with the lead.

After fighting like this, he still couldn't take the lead, except for Wei Shao, who still didn't admit defeat, the others were a little shaken.

Seeing that his teammates were somewhat silent, Adams stood up in solidarity with Wei Shao.

Except for Wei Shao today, he performed well and grabbed a few frontcourt rebounds.

But Wei Shao increased his individual attack, and other teammates were affected, and even Paul George lost his presence on the offensive end and could only focus on defense.

On the Spurs' side, Zhang Xiaotian and the acting head coach analyzed the situation in the first half.

'It's already clear that we're going to finish the series here today, it's not a big deal, it's that we have the quality, it's just the first round, we don't need to stay here for too long.'

In the third quarter, Westbrook worked harder on the offensive end.

The basket at home seems to have responded to his struggle, and his shooting percentage from mid-to-long range has improved dramatically.

However, Zhang Xiaotian's side forced the Thunder to make substitutions in less than half a quarter.

can't prevent it, Anthony and Brewer can't stop Zhang Xiaotian's impact.

What's worse is that Zhang Xiaotian can make role players better, which Wei Shao can't take into account.

Westbrook's scoring kept rising, soon surpassing 30 points, but the Thunder hadn't been able to take the lead yet.

Why, why is this happening, can't you win a game?

Westbrook was surprisingly angry, but with a hint of frustration.

But he didn't give in, he didn't believe it, and if he couldn't win with double his rage, then triple it.

He doesn't need to rest, he wants to seize every second to win for the team.

With 20 points in a single quarter, Westbrook has indeed done it to the extreme.

But the reality is cruel, the Spurs calmly maintain the score lead, and all the Thunder can do so desperately is bite the score.

As their physical energy was exhausted, victory was getting farther and farther away from them.

Not to mention that the Spurs are not the most difficult time to deal with, entering the fourth quarter, it is Zhang Xiaotian's time.

After a three-minute break, Zhang Xiaotian stood on the court again.

At this time, not only his fans or Spurs fans, but also the hearts of Thunder fans accelerated instantly.

When can he do it, and can the Thunder withstand it.

If you can't bear it, this game will be the end of the thunder, and Zhang Xiaotian has never been weak.

"Definitely, we must guard against him." Paul George also gritted his teeth.

Zhang Xiaotian received the ball, changed direction twice in a row, and suddenly accelerated to kill inside.

Paul George struggled to keep up, and he even heard an overwhelmed sound coming from his knees.

But Zhang Xiaotian naturally pulled back and pulled up the hit in the other party's unbelievable eyes.

It's not a very complicated technical move, but with his strong physicality and threat, no one can stop it. 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!
