Even if it is a warrior, it is not easy to create a miracle, at the beginning of the last quarter, Zhang Xiaotian scored 5 points in a row, and the score gap between the two sides went up from 20+, which was a bit unstoppable.

In the end, the Spurs won by 30 points, and Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian also cut 30+, and the team got off to a good start.

Curry concluded after the game: "I felt like this game was like a slap in the face. ”

Durant agrees with Curry, "Yes, we've been slapped in the face, but that's not a bad thing, it's going to make us a little bit more sober, see the problem, and find the direction to work on." ”

The warriors' soldiers are more hard-mouthed, and it can only be so much better than the outside attention.

Green said after the game: "I can think of how we will be written in the newspaper tomorrow, whether it will be said that we will lose after we have Durant, or that Durant will destroy our original chemistry, etc., but we will not be bothered by these statements at all, and we will look forward." ”

Warriors head coach Kerr said something about the same, "Durant is fantastic, and I don't think he's going to have a problem with any player in this group." But we are not a one-man team, we are a team, and winning is not based on the performance of one player, but on the performance of the whole. ”

Zhang Xiaotian was relaxed in an interview, "I am very happy with a very ordinary victory, but this is only the beginning of the regular season, and I have always preferred to focus on the end of the playoffs." ”

The outside world didn't expect the Spurs to crush this game, but the first game of the season really doesn't tell the story, and the same Cavaliers win over there is like that.

Most of the teams have changed a lot in the summer, and it is estimated that many teams will be unstable in the first half of the season.

As for the Spurs' possession of the ball, it can be determined that it is not particularly big after the game.

In fact, there is still a difference between Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, Leonard and Aldridge are both endpoints, and Zhang Xiaotian has been partial to the organization in the past few years, just as the Spurs Parker's state is declining, and there needs to be an organizational person, Zhang Xiaotian plans to develop in this area.

In addition, whoever is in good shape will play, and whoever has a weak defense will play, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard will train together, and there should be no problems for this.

Besides, Zhang Xiaotian didn't dominate the ball too much in the first three quarters.

The second game of the Spurs is still away, and after two away games, the state of the Spurs at the beginning of the game can be seen clearly.

On October 27, the Spurs came to the King's territory to start the second game of the regular season.

The Kings want to spend money in the summer, but there are no great characters to come, the biggest card is Aaron Afflalo, and Ty Lawson is picked up at a low price, as for Temple, Matt Barnes and others, they all get them with good short contracts.

The Kings are actually not bad on paper, and Cousins is also an All-Star level interior player in the league.

It's a pity that the team's defense is sloppy and they can't win the ball.

In the starters, the Kings and the Spurs have similar constructions, with double interior lines, old guards, and good offensive and defensive strengths, but except for Cousins, the quality is still worse than that of the Spurs.

The Spurs' interior was heavily suppressed in the opening game, with Aldridge and Pau Gasol losing to the combination of Cousins and Costa Koufus.

But on the front line, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard comprehensively suppressed Avlaro and Rudy Gay.

Rudy Gay is still in his playing year, and Zhang Xiaotian is also more emotional, and from the comparison between the two sides, we can see Zhang Xiaotian's great progress in recent years.

The bench lineups of both sides are okay, the Kings also have a few bandits on the bench, and on the Spurs side, Dedmon played more smoothly on the inside than Pau Gasol after coming on the court.

Big Gasol's partner Aldridge is actually a little aggrieved, he and Aldridge are the same type, and now it must be a little uncomfortable for Big Gasol to do rough work as an assistant, and Dedmon's black and hard is originally doing this.

In the case of being restrained on the inside, Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian scored in the first half, and the score was also led by the king by 4 points.

It can only be said that the Spurs interior line of the Warriors is still not the top in the league.

Of course, Popovich was not satisfied with their performance and started training at half-time.

Aldridge is actually trying to coax, and Popovich is very aware of this in front of the media, but he is not so good-tempered in the team.

Fortunately, there are fewer and fewer people who like to talk in Spurs, and the old man feels bored when he talks too much.

The requirements of the third quarter, the first is defense, and the second is to play the offense on the inside.

There is still a set of defensive Spurs, and Zhang Xiaotian is no stranger to the team's defensive system.

If the inside line is going to play, it is not Zhang Xiaotian who can help, but Popovich is still not satisfied, and he replaced Aldridge to play one big and four small in four minutes.

Then he replaced Gasol and left a pure defensive interior to grab rebounds on it, and the offense was pure outside.

In this way, the Kings' defense is targeted, and the Spurs have become difficult on the offensive end, but their defense has become better.

How to say it, Aldridge and Pau Gasol are not top-level defensively anyway, and they go down to affect some of the help defenses, but they don't have much impact.

In this way, the two sides fought defense, the Spurs are first-class on the offensive end and on the defensive end, they can fight anything, the Kings are different, and fighting defense is a disaster for them.

Leonard and Zhang Xiaotian broke off the king to call Dad, so the team relied on defense to reverse the score in the final moments of the game, and the Spurs once again took the initiative on the road.

At the end of the season, it was Zhang Xiaotian's performance time again.

He scored five straight points in the game to extend the lead to double digits in two minutes.

Aldridge, who had been resting on the bench for a long time, finally woke up, and after a few consecutive iconic mid-distances, the Kings were almost off the hook.

After the main forces of both sides played, the king was even more powerless.

Cousins could score, and it was fierce, but the Kings were so blocked that the rest of the points were blocked.

Rudy Gay and Afflalo couldn't even get a shot.

They are also stars, with tens of millions of salaries, but in front of Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, they seem too weak.

Cousins scored 17 points in a single quarter, and no one on the inside could stop, but it didn't do much.

The Spurs won the game 110-94, Leonard scored 30 points, and Zhang Xiaotian only scored 25 points, but also grabbed 8 rebounds and 8 assists.

These two games have shown that the league has another strong duo, the Big Three, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Five Tigers, and the Spurs are all barely deserving.

The Spurs have always performed well, but this season, apparently, the gimmick is more sufficient, the league has not had a consecutive championship for a while, and who will take the lead in the new season.
