Chapter 415: Jersey Retirement Ceremony

"This looks a little ugly, isn't it more inherited from you?"

"Find out if it's pinched, you can still see so many scenes with a color ultrasound."

On the days when there was no competition, Zhang Xiaotian accompanied his wife to do an inspection, and the one ran around like a wind, Zhang Xiaotian really wanted to find a collar to lock.

The life of an athlete is actually quite simple, and of course, a rich person like him is quite comfortable.

It's no wonder that many people will send buns after retiring, it is estimated that it is not the reason to stop training, but to make up for the delicacies that cannot be eaten.

The next game is at home and it's always a little easier.

On December 18th, the Pelicans visited.

The Pelicans had a bad time again because it was so difficult to win.

Anthony Davis has received a lot of praise since he entered the league, but he is not a particularly strong leader, coupled with the team's injuries and the management giving players who average 4 points per game tens of millions of contracts, the Pelicans' poor results are normal.

Their starting lineup has changed three people from last time, and Zhang Xiaotian is now facing off against No. 6 rookie Buddy Hield, a young man with good shooting ability, who can satisfy his interest in abusing vegetables.

At the beginning of the game, the Pelicans attacked the inside, which is needless to say, their outside line is not too bad, but it is a bit short, and it will definitely be suppressed by Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard.

On the Spurs' side, they will definitely not give up their advantages, Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard are bullying the opposing players, and the inside line is basically pulling out to shoot in addition to defense.

Inside hand-to-hand fighting, once a Spurs' strong point, but not now.

In the first quarter, the two sides couldn't defend each other, but the Spurs relied on the strength of the players to take some initiative.

On the bench, Ginobili once again helped the Spurs extend their lead.

During this time, Ginobili's form has rebounded, and the strength of the old players is far from the peak, but many times the means of seizing opportunities are still very strong.

Ginobili is also estimated to be a little rusty, and the heat is relatively slow, and as the game deepens, his physical condition has gradually adjusted.

And after playing again in the second quarter, Aldridge finally exerted his power and got back all the humiliation he suffered in the first quarter.

Anthony Davis is stronger in all aspects of physical fitness, but this guy can also be regarded as a technical stream, and Aldridge is not afraid of this.

The interior also made a push and the Spurs quickly extended their lead to double digits.

Duncan, who was not far away in a suit and leather shoes, was also smiling, and his jersey retirement ceremony would be held after the game, and Ginobili had just sent a dunk to greet his old fellow.

This is also a pressure on the pelicans, and they probably can't bear it.

By the third quarter, Anthony Davis was out of shape and the Spurs took the opportunity to extend the score again, and the fourth quarter was garbage time again.

This is a situation that everyone can accept, and the next protagonist becomes Duncan, the man who has been the protagonist in the Holy City for many years.

In addition to Duncan himself, the guests at the retirement ceremony were two of his old teammates, as well as two coaches, Vicky and Duncan's college coach.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian and his juniors can only be spectators.

Parker said that Duncan can make the people around him better, which is the definition of a superstar, and Parker choked up a little when it came to the tacit understanding between the two sides, but immediately ridiculed Duncan's taste in dressing did not let the atmosphere continue to be heavy.

Ginobili recalled Duncan's help to him as a leader, and "confessed" on the spot: "You help me, I love you, you make everyone better!" ”

Vicky recalled some of the things that happened at the beginning, and said that even his family cat and dog knew to use the top pick to pick Duncan. He also talked about how the Magic provoked Duncan at the beginning, and he had a great time in Orlando. You know, they have water...... We have the river, we have the boat.

Vicky also said that Duncan was very fond of carrot cake: "He was also very weird, I don't know how many times I brought carrot cake to his room, otherwise he would be angry." I had to do this for twenty years. ”

The old man, who is usually very serious, was also a little excited at this time, and he hugged Duncan with tears in his eyes, "I want to thank you for giving me a chance to coach you!" This is the guy who makes everyone fit into the team culture, and I can honestly say to Duncan's parents, who are the same people today as they were when they first joined the Spurs. ”

Duncan concluded by thanking San Antonio, his family and friends, and he also thanked Vicky in particular, saying that he was more of a father than just a coach.

In such an atmosphere, Zhang Xiaotian was also full of feelings.

I don't know how long he will be able to play in the league and what it will be like when he retires.

In fact, Duncan also comes to the team a lot, and everyone is not going to be separated forever, but when he leaves the court, the city that has become accustomed to him will indeed feel that something is missing.

Zhang Xiaotian secretly clenched his fists, there is no sure era, he will not make fans cry.

This season, the Spurs will show that they are strong for everyone.

Duncan's retirement jersey is just an episode in the season, and he has to play game after game when he returns.

On December 20, they went to Houston to challenge the Rockets.

The Rockets' results this season are actually very good, but there are Spurs and Warriors in front of them, and they seem to be much more ordinary.

In the West, the Rockets and Spurs are considered second-tier teams, and the playoffs will certainly be fine.

If they want to go further, they will definitely have to fight hard against the first two teams in Pot 1.

The two teams played a very tangled game at the beginning of this game, and Harden's ability to lead the team was good, at least in the regular season.

Harden's style, it's not easy to defend up front.

The Spurs played a wheel battle, with Zhang Xiaotian and Danny Green taking turns.

In the first half, the bench players on both sides performed similarly, and the main Spurs were slightly stronger, after all, the Rockets' strong enough scoring point was Harden, and many of the performances of other teams were also related to his organizational methods.

The Spurs' defensive strategy is also clear, the front is mainly to cut off the connection between Harden and other Rockets players, as well as the consumption without the ball, and at the last moment, they will definitely switch the defensive focus to Harden's individual attack.

But what he didn't expect was that in the third quarter, Harden successfully made consecutive fouls and helped the Rockets overtake the score in one fell swoop.

Harden's rhythm is difficult to understand even if it is a continuous follow-up defense, not to mention the Rockets' various covers, this kind of player is still troublesome to play crazy, fortunately, due to the opponent's blocking and dismantling cover, the fouls are evenly distributed, and the Spurs will not have a foul crisis.

However, to let the opponent take the lead into the final quarter, the Spurs will have to be more careful defensively. 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!
