The Clippers still wanted to struggle in the final moments and let Griffin force the inside.

Unfortunately, Griffin was a bit of a butter hand, missed the shot and missed, and the Warriors took the opportunity to consolidate the lead.

With 41 seconds left in the game, Zhang Xiaotian broke through to make it 2+1, and after hitting a free throw, the Warriors led by 9 points to seal the win.

The Warriors started with a thirteen-game winning streak, and what is even more exaggerated is that they also won rebounds, and the most exaggerated thing is that Curry's 11 rebounds are on the game rebounding list, which is more amazing than his 40 points.

Zhang Xiaotian has 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, continuing to have comprehensive statistics, which is a little more handsome than Klay Thompson's 25+3+3, and Draymond Green is also a good statistic of 19+6+9.

The Clippers once had such a good opportunity to be overturned, and the outside world couldn't help but sigh, who can beat the Warriors.

The Bulls, who they are going to play back-to-back, have a chance, and although Rose is out of action in these games, under the leadership of the already stronger Butler, they have won four consecutive games to beat the Cavaliers to temporarily take first place in the East, and they are in good shape.

The Bulls kept their current roster in the summer and signed Jimmy Butler to a max salary extension.

Zhang Xiaotian is also a little envious, in comparison, Jimmy Butler's growth is the standard star model.

However, for the Bulls to do well with this lineup, injuries and more appropriate tactics are indispensable.

In the playoffs last year, they played well, but they were still far from the top teams.

Rose wasn't there, and Butler was playing the No. 2 position.

In this way, Zhang Xiaotian's defensive task will be much lighter.

Neither side deliberately changed their defenses, and the Bulls were because Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson were very dangerous on the Warriors' side, and they didn't want Butler and Zhang Xiaotian to cause a lot of attrition from the beginning.

On the Warriors' side, Klay Thompson does this a lot of the time, anyway, he doesn't need to hold the ball when he attacks, which can save some stamina.

However, this is also tentative, and it is convenient for Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson to switch defenses according to the situation.

Jimmy Butler has become accustomed to the core style of play this season, not only to score, but also to play, and he also started this game to score first.

However, Jimmy Butler is a bit physically on the offensive end, not so rich in offensive means, and a bit of a type with Paul George.

It's just that Paul George often relies on height, and Jimmy Butler is just bouncing.

But Klay Thompson can't get this kind of physical fitness, after all, his physical fitness is mediocre.

The Warriors will not immediately let Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson switch defenses, the plan is to let Klay Thompson work harder in front and Zhang Xiaotian take more responsibility in the back.

Compared to the Warriors, the Bulls are very monotonous on the offensive end, but they really work.

After Jimmy Butler took the salary cap, he really had a bit of a top All-Star flavor.

Scoring, assisting teammates to score, almost all of the points the Bulls scored in the first quarter had something to do with him.

On the Warriors' side, Curry, Zhang Xiaotian and Klay Thompson took turns to play, but Bogut couldn't get Gasol, who was four years older than him, so he couldn't help it.

In addition, Draymond Green felt a little tired in this game, and Draymond Green was also a little uncomfortable with a player of Mirotic's style.

With Jimmy Butler scoring in double figures in a single quarter, the Bulls led by one point in the first quarter.

However, in the competition of bench players, the Warriors won completely.

The strategy adopted by the Bulls is to let the main team play more, they are not back-to-back, and they have the confidence to fight with the warriors.

It's just that Jimmy Butler's kind of strong rise, although not as bad as Guy, has some ups and downs.

The rotation players couldn't share the pressure, and the Warriors' ten-man rotation easily overtook the score.

It's useless to be jealous, the strong team just does whatever they want.

Fortunately, the Bulls played a few strong points, and the defense was desperate, which did not let the Warriors pull the score away.

At the end of the first half, the Warriors were up by three points.

The Bulls' lineup is more dependent on Butler, and the other is Pau Gasol and Mirotic, although Hinrich also played well in the first half, but this not very old veteran can only shoot in the open position.

In the second half, the Warriors will definitely pinch the opponent's points, but more importantly, they will play their own offense, although they have more blossoms in this game, but they did not play that desperate momentum.

So far in the new season, the team is a little tired psychologically and physically, and head coach Kerr still hopes that the players can overcome the difficulties, not necessarily win, but to play their advantages.

In the third quarter, the Bulls' defense was still very tight, and the Warriors still couldn't do what they wanted on the offensive end, but they played on the defensive end.

In addition to Jimmy Butler, Pau Gasol and Mirotic were both limited by the Warriors.

Zhang Xiaotian also switched to Jimmy Butler, but Butler has reached the level of complete limitation, but his shooting percentage has also been interfered with by the Warriors' defense.

In this case, the Warriors extended their lead.

It's just that I didn't expect that the Bulls' bench finally started to play in the second half.

Itovan Moore was on fire, and Noah also grabbed back-to-back rebounds.

Noah is now a bench and a big change for the Bulls, which also allows the Bulls to enhance their rebounding ability during the rotation.

By the end of the third quarter, the Bulls had trailed the score to just four points.

No matter what changes have been made to the players who play, the Bulls' tenacity has remained.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Bulls did not put Butler on the court, and even if he had good physical strength, it took a lot of energy to hold the ball all the time and had to rest.

The Bulls had a big lineup at this time, with only Itovan Moore being a small one.

It was Mirotic who defended Zhang Xiaotian, but it was not a regular defense, Mirotic just pressed up, and there were Ty Gibson and Noah behind him.

The purpose of this defense is very clear, that is, not to let Zhang Xiaotian shoot.

However, they obviously don't know Zhang Xiaotian's flexibility now.

Zhang Xiaotian let Mirotic force him outside the three-point line, and then wiped it out in one step.

Although Ty Gibson was staring, he was a little slower to come over and help the defense.

If you want to defend Zhang Xiaotian, you must be honest, and it is not possible for the sword to go sideways, because there are almost no special shortcomings.

After being beaten by him for two in a row, the Bulls could only adjust and replace Noah.

But now except for Butler, no one else can limit Zhang Xiaotian at all, and the Bulls' choice is to flank.

They took the risk of letting Iguodala go, and the first two goals really gave them success, but as Zhang Xiaotianqiang hit a 2+1, the Bulls could only pause.

At this time, the Warriors did not have the Splash Brothers on the court, and they looked better defensively, but in terms of efficiency, the Bulls were also substitutes, and in the case of falling behind, even if the Warriors' offensive efficiency was not high, the lead could not be shaken.
