"According to my objective and rational analysis, the current Spurs will not be the opponent of the Thunder, and if Parker comes back, the two teams will have to fight."

"Moreover, the Spurs' GDP is aging, and the more they play the latter part of the season, the more obvious the shortcomings will become, and a good regular season record, playing easily against a weak team is not an absolute standard for a strong team, as evidenced by the results of the playoffs in the first two seasons."

At the live broadcast of a certain sports program, the so-called experts are talking.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-point shot, and the Spurs had already overtaken the score.

In Zhang Xiaotian's fan base, the atmosphere was joyful, "What a bad show, what a stupid expert, I don't understand bullshit." ”

"yes, bullshit. It's better to invite me, it's cheap and affordable, and now Ben Daxian will make a prediction, the spurs will win, and the gods will win. ”

The Spurs played well in the second quarter, and in addition to the play off the bench and Leonard's rise, they also had to thank Westbrook for playing hard.

Westbrook is a very physical guard, but the shooting is a bit nerve, and he can't defend it on time, and there are very few points of defense with his physical fitness, and ordinary people can't stand it, and Rose of the same type has been reimbursed.

However, when he is not allowed, striking iron is also very demoralizing.

By halftime, the Spurs had outscored the opposition by seven points.

In the second half, the style of play of the two sides did not change much, only Westbrook's shooting percentage changed.

As an All-Star, he's certainly not the same as a regular nerve knife, Westbrook was able to make adjustments on his own initiative, and after hitting so many irons, he has found his touch again.

Westbrook, who has regained his touch, even if Parker is at most exploding, Parker is not there, and the Spurs' No. 1 position can only be simply exploded.

Thankfully, Westbrook hasn't been able to put his form and team together well.

With his consecutive hits, the rest of the Thunder hardly had many chances to touch the ball, and only Durant was able to score in the limited touches.

The two are ferocious, but the Spurs are still in full bloom.

In fact, without Parker, the Spurs' ball runs more smoothly, but the corresponding attack power has dropped a lot.

Without Parker's lethal attacking power, the opponent's defense will be easier to arrange.

After withstanding the onslaught of the opponent, the Spurs are still in the rotation.

The Thunder's bench players did not play well in the first half, which is also related to their tactics, Westbrook and Durant took turns to lead the team during the rotation period, and without the ball, Kevin Martin, who replaced Harden's sixth man, could not play his full strength at all, and his defense did not meet the requirements of the team.

Unlike the Spurs, Ginobili came up with the ball.

It has to be said that for the distribution of the ball, Popovich did an excellent job.

When Westbrook was in full swing, the gap between the scores between the two teams had narrowed to 1 point, but when the rotation lineup came on, Ginobili hit three points, Dio hit three points, and Zhang Xiaotian played two more in a row at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and the score gap suddenly expanded to 10 points.

Seeing that Westbrook began to play iron again, Thunder head coach Scott Brooks hurriedly switched tactics and let Durant play.

Now the Spurs are using Ginobili to handle the ball, Danny Green is on guard against Westbrook, and Leonard is on Durant, but it's clear that Durant is tougher than Westbrook.

With the opponent carrying inside, Leonard quickly fouled twice.

However, the Spurs have someone, Leonard will be replaced by Zhang Xiaotian immediately after the foul, and Popovich is also continuously deploying troops, because the Thunder are a regular lineup, and their interior line must also be defended.

In order to ensure the shooting rate, Durant saved Popovich's choice, and Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard took turns on the court to carry out a wheel war against Durant.

Although Durant is not as strong as James, he is taller and has long arms.

When Zhang Xiaotian activated the skill, he claimed to be a ruthless defender, but Durant seemed to completely ignore his defense, and he still had to improve.

Zhang Xiaotian had a feeling of being a dog, how could these guys be so strong.

Fortunately, the opponent couldn't prevent the Spurs' offense, and as time decreased, the Thunder finally played a small lineup and replaced Reggie Jackson to speed up.

But after the speed, they also had problems defendingly.

Danny Green hit two open threes in the open space while being overlooked.

This discouraged the Thunder, their All-Star players struggled to score again and again under heavy defense, but the small role on the Spurs' side was easy to hit, which was too hitting.

The Thunder also tried to split the ball, but after Ibaka missed two three-pointers from the bottom corner, they could only let the two come in.

Opportunities can actually come out, Ibaka plays center, Spurs really can't defend it, but if you don't hit, there is no way.

With only one minute left in the game, Zhang Xiaotian hit a three-point shot, and the Spurs once again led the opponent by more than 10 points.

The Thunder's morale has hit rock bottom, and they replaced Durant and Westbrook to surrender completely.

The Spurs defeated the Thunder without Parker, and deserved to be first in the West.

Just when everyone was discussing how many games the Spurs could win in a row, Popovich blatantly rested the players again, and Zhang Xiaotian was fortunate to be one of them.

Duncan, Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian are out together, plus Parker, who couldn't play, the Spurs can't even activate the players who can't even enter the roster are blessed.

Even if he was fined by the league, is Popovich afraid, the answer is obviously no.

The old man said bitterly that the three guys were sick as a result of eating disobediently, but in fact, he didn't want the players to rest at all.

Even the mascot won't believe these words, and if you want to go to the away game back-to-back, you'll be sick, and you're a liar.

Conspiracy theorists even stood up and boldly speculated that in fact, the Spurs didn't want to be the first in the West at all, and they wanted to avoid the uncertainties Lakers, but the players didn't understand the mental mess, so the three leaders were picked up by Popovich.

Don't say it, there are really many people who believe that although the Lakers have a poor record, but the Big Four and the Five Tigers, who knows if Kobe Bryant will break out in the playoffs, the Spurs are too bad, and Popovich is too bad.

In fact, this is all nonsense, there are more than 20 games in the game, and now the Lakers, Rockets, and Jazz's records are very tangled, and the Lakers are determined to be eighth, and they can't talk about it.

The Spurs are preparing for the playoffs, but they are not afraid of running into anyone, but they are helping the players adjust.

GDP can't be a problem, and the next is Leonard, Danny Green, Zhang Xiaotian and others.

In other words, Zhang Xiaotian has now become an important member of the Spurs' playoff strategy.
