Chapter 261: Desperate for his life

When James and Love went down to rest, Zhang Xiaotian and Irving actually didn't have much cooperation, but they still allowed the Cavaliers to overtake the score during the rotation.

Young is strong, Zhang Xiaotian beat Ginobili a strongly, and Ginobili was interfered with by him when he made a layup.

Zhang Xiaotian is too familiar with the Spurs' players, although the Spurs are also familiar with him, but he is going uphill, while Ginobili and other players are going down.

Irving also hit a three-pointer directly in the face of Corey Joseph, and Popovich probably wanted to curse.

Swearing is useless, timeouts are useful, so Popovich only opened three minutes into the fourth quarter and called a timeout.

There is nothing to say, even if Popovich is at a high level, at this time it is to change to the main force.

Ginobili still stayed on the field, GDP is Popovich's faith, this trust is not cultivated in a short time, he always believes that they can work miracles.

The Cavaliers also made substitutions at the same time, but they didn't replace all the main forces for the time being, but just brought James up, intending to keep the score back.

A player of James' level is a threat on the court.

If only he hadn't had that much possession, but James could pass the ball.

After working with James for a season, Zhang Xiaotian felt that the level of his off-ball running had increased a lot, and even the system could not fully measure it.

However, the Spurs also have players who are getting stronger, Danny Green is not obvious, and Leonard is obviously metamorphosing in the direction of a top small forward.

And the current top small forwards are all comprehensive, and James is a benchmark.

Rising Paul George, Hayward, Jimmy Butler, Leonard are all of this type.

Zhang Xiaotian's offense and defense are good, and his organizational ability will grow more slowly.

Talent is only one aspect, the key is that he is not the young core of the team.

The ball was in the hands of the other bigwigs most of the time, and he only had time to attack when he got it.

However, he is also ambitious, and although he and James are not very similar in type, he has also learned a lot from the top players in the same position.

As long as the ability is stronger, Zhang Xiaotian is confident that he will lead a team forward.

James came up and didn't help the Cavaliers gain an advantage faster.

Basketball is a matter of five people, but only one player can shoot in the offense, and there are many star players on the court, and sometimes the effect is not immediately apparent.

Of course, it is also because the Spurs are also very strong, Leonard desperately blocked James, not to mention, Duncan's side also began to fight hard, and it was a block and a rebound in the frontcourt, and the Cavaliers hurriedly put Lefu up.

Tristan Thompson's rebounding is also very good, but in fact, he is not the same as the traditional interior rebounding method, it is the nature of good physical fitness with a bit of rushing, Duncan takes the position a card, this buddy is not good, or let Love go to fight Duncan.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian beat Ginobili again, and Popovich could only reluctantly replace the Argentine first to adjust.

Even if Ginobili can still have some magic strokes on the offensive and defensive ends, Zhang Xiaotian is always competing for strength, and Ginobili's age is not easy to do.

Danny Green defensively is better, but it's the same against Zhang Xiaotian, and the key is that the offensive end won't expect a miracle to happen after replacing him.

Now the scores of the two teams are anxious, and the Spurs are also very careful.

After Danny Green came up, he almost danced a veneer dance with Zhang Xiaotian, if Zhang Xiaotian was a little faster, he could get rid of this guy directly.

But you can also use strength, Zhang Xiaotian opened Danny Green to hit one. ‘

James broke through the ball and let the inside pick up one, and the inside Cavaliers played two in two minutes.

The Spurs' defensive efficiency is extremely high.

However, their offense went awry, and Danny Green couldn't count on that, Duncan was a little tired after a few minutes of outbursts, and Parker also made a turnover.

Intuitively, the Spurs didn't score a point in the two minutes.

The Cavaliers' lead instantly became 6 points, and the time was already in the second half of the quarter, and the Spurs had no choice but to replace Ginobili again.

The Spurs decided to play one big and four small, with one more point of possession on offense, and the defensive end had to rely on quick changes and quotations, so that small players could play.

The Cavaliers' offensive inside is also Love, and they also chose to replace Vallejo to deal with it, and Joe Harris as a pitcher at the second position offset Danny Green.

Ginobili and Leonard are still limited by Zhang Xiaotian and James.

If the Spurs want to play offense, they may have to be Parker and Duncan.

As expected, the Spurs let Parker hold the ball and block again.

After Parker was replaced by Joe Harris in front of him, he immediately used his experience to make a rookie foul.

But then Irving broke through and returned one to the Spurs.

Parker is known for his speed, but this season, his speed has not been that fast, and against Irving, he is a little unable to keep up.

However, Leonard was very brave, broke James by one, and beat Irving by mistake.

It's just that James also hit, time is running out, and the score is not close.

Ginobili dribbled to Zhang Xiaotian, Zhang Xiaotian opened his hands, didn't care about Ginobili's movements, and blocked the shooting line that could be used in this area.

In the face of a cunning attacker like Ginobili, Zhang Xiaotian must concentrate all his energy.

Suddenly, Ginobili accelerated, his breakthrough was more special, his feet were to the right, but his body was leaning to the left.

Based on Zhang Xiaotian's understanding of Ginobili, the old fritters are going to cheat and foul again.

He quickly stepped back, trying to make the other lose his center of gravity.

If you don't find the ball for a foul, you usually put yourself in, but what I didn't expect was that Ginobili saw that his center of gravity was gone, and he threw the ball to the basket, but it was hit.

Zhang Xiaotian was dumbfounded, this is too difficult.

Ginobili shrugged his shoulders at Zhang Xiaotian, full of provocation.

If he dealt with others, Zhang Xiaotian would spray, but against Ginobili, there was a better way to ****** the knight attack, he leaned on Ginobili to get the ball, and squeezed it in and shot.

also hit, Zhang Xiaotian also shrugged his shoulders, which made Ginobili's heart mixed, he worked hard to get into a high difficulty, Zhang Xiaotian, a bastard boy, was so easy.

When the Spurs attacked again, Ginobili came again, this time Zhang Xiaotian was not fooled, but Ginobili threw the ball directly to Duncan, and Duncan hit.

The Spurs came a little more passionately, although it was already the last tens of seconds, they did not intend to foul immediately, but chose to press all over the court.

Irving dribbled with confidence, and the Spurs did not force the Cavaliers to pass half court, and immediately retreated, still not planning to foul.

At this time, Zhang Xiaotian, who received the ball, pulled it up directly.
