Playing back-to-back games against the Nuggets away, the Spurs lost again, even if Duncan forced a break out to return to his youth, cutting 31 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, 5 blocks and 2 steals, the superstar statistics did not prevent the team's losing streak.

Zhang Xiaotian also scored 12 points in the fourth quarter, and he couldn't fill the hole of trailing by 15 points in the first three quarters.

He was also thinking about what he could have done in the first three quarters if Parker wasn't in shape.

Defense, in fact, this game is mainly due to defensive problems, the Nuggets are a group of beasts, and their physical fitness is really dominant.

Since he doesn't have the opportunity to play the core ball, three-point shooting and defense, he has to improve a lot.

Leonard has also started to participate in confrontation training, and Zhang Xiaotian plans to communicate more with young people, such as pure three-and-D players like Danny Green.

"The key is to judge the opponent's intentions, then block his path and wait for the opponent to make a mistake."

"Watch the footage more and try it a few more times."

"What if you meet an opponent with a high weight, stronger speed and bounce."

Cold salad, a strong opponent can only limit a certain aspect, and then rely on teammates to rely on the system.

Basketball is a competitive sport and a team sport, and it depends on who can play to their strengths more, make as few mistakes as possible, and then seize the opportunity for the other party to make mistakes.

The biggest benefit of Leonard's return is that Zhang Xiaotian has become more targeted in confrontation training.

As for the extra shooting, Zhang Xiaotian put all the three points.

In the two days after back-to-backs, the Spurs were able to slow down.

At this time, the All-Star voting is already in full swing, and the players are also paying attention.

Zhang Xiaotian's fans are very positive, but he is very sensible, and the all-stars have little to do with him now.

Don't look at the Spurs' current record, if you vote alone, they really have no one to stand up.

"I decided, just do a mobile APP, I have a creative social platform for women, mainly to share the taste of dressing, fashion and trend." Yang Feiyu was in high spirits on the phone.

A blurry picture of non-mainstream flashed in Zhang Xiaotian's mind, and he was suddenly a little suspicious of his girlfriend's fashion taste.

"Let's put the business business first, didn't you promise to accompany me to see the house today."

A soft voice came from the phone, "Yes, why do you want me to accompany you, who am I?" ”

Zhang Xiaotian's forehead was a little sweaty, "You are a mentor with good vision and good taste......

"Hmph, it's not a qualified answer, forget it, I won't tease you, I'm already changing my clothes."

Zhang Xiaotian already has a sum of money in his hand, he plans to get a new place to live before Christmas, and then invite his girlfriend to spend Christmas Eve together, and the plan has already been formulated.

He plans to buy an ordinary small building first, the surrounding environment is better, anyway, he has a car, and it doesn't matter if he is a little far away from the training ground.

After tossing and turning for a long time, I found that even if I got it now, it would be difficult to live in it immediately.

What's the use of planning well, there are key parts missing.

I was going to invite my girlfriend to a big meal, but when I was tired, I went back to my residence and changed to takeout.

It is also quite comfortable to take a hot shower and change into home clothes and eat takeaway in the room, and Yang Feiyu also took a bath to make him think about it.

"Why, isn't it tempting for me to blow my hair?"

Zhang Xiaotian was a little weak-hearted, the girl's hair was stained with water and she came out of the bathroom.

"I'm thinking about Christmas, you don't have any plans."

"Who knows, I'm alone here anyway, hey......"

Zhang Xiaotian suddenly made up his mind, and began to revise the plan in his mind, where should I go, it is too obvious to go to the hotel, so when I go back to the town, what if Yang Feiyu doesn't like it.

"What's the matter, I'm in a daze again, did you remind me that I should go back."

"It's still early, or we can play games online."

Yang Feiyu sneered, and said with a little contempt: "It turned out to be playing a game, you took a shower as soon as you came back, I thought you were going to do something bad." ”

After saying that, Yang Feiyu's little face was also a little redder, how could a girl say this, it made her seem to be impure.

Looking at his girlfriend's shy appearance, the flame in Zhang Xiaotian's heart could no longer be suppressed.

He went over and took the hair dryer and put his lips on it, and the emotional man and woman slowly fell down after a while.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning passed through the curtains, Zhang Xiaotian habitually opened his eyes, the beauty in his arms was sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but smirk, the plan couldn't catch up with the changes, life was really beautiful.

On November 21, the Spurs played the Hornets again at home, and the topic of rookies was brought up again.

The Hornets have two rookies of this year, and the No. 1 pick Anthony Davis, not to mention the favorite for the best rookie, can also fight with Duncan.

No. 10 show Austin Rivers is also a hearty master, "Zhang Xiaotian? I can do better than him, I deserve my position, Anthony and I can make the team competitive and we will get better and better. ”

With nine straight losses, Rivers Jr. is quite optimistic.

Well, they finished bottom of the West last season, and they can only get better and better.

Lance Thomas, the Hornets' No. 3 spot, is a defender-focused guy, but he's only a pseudo-starter, and Battery Ryan Anderson is the one who gets more playing time.

One is defensive but not offensive, and the other is offensive and undefensive, Zhang Xiaotian feels that he can seize the opportunity.

On the Spurs' side, Leonard and Ginobili are back, and they are finally in a full lineup.

Zhang Xiaotian is still the starter in this game, but everyone knows that after Leonard adapts to a game, he will definitely go back to play as a substitute.

Parker and Duncan teamed up to attack after the opening game, which was also the main routine of the Spurs.

The Hornets really couldn't withstand it, but the two just played a wave, and they would slow down after confirming the lead.

Zhang Xiaotian threw the ball this time, and he shot very decisively, not holding the ball to play, and was not afraid of missing the shot.

It took two irons to hit one, but when the Hornets replaced Anderson, he caught the ball and went all out to kill inside, causing a foul.

Popovich had a bit of a bright feeling, and Zhang Xiaotian became decisive at the beginning.

However, the efficiency has become lower, and I don't know if it's good or bad, but he won't need to think about this problem soon, Leonard is back, Zhang Xiaotian's offense is decisive, and it should be useful in rotation time.

The Spurs led by 10 points, and the Hornets slowly eased up, and they also started to score on the inside, and by the time of the rotation, the score had caught up quite a bit.

Popovich didn't let Leonard play early, only letting him play in the second half of the second quarter.

However, this kid hit a three-pointer on the court, which made Popovich very satisfied.

Sure enough, in the third quarter, Popovich couldn't wait to replace Leonard early.

Zhang Xiaotian sat back on the bench, his mood was a little low, Leonard had a good relationship with him, and he should be happy when the other party returned to the court.

But one day, he's going to get a higher status on the pitch.
