Chapter 482: Lineup Issues

"Son, I'll teach you a few tricks to let you win at the starting line."

"Get rid of it, he's not a year old yet, okay, you just let him play with a basketball...... You'd better give me the equipment to be honest. ”

"Wife, don't you love me...... No, I'm playing with the little guy now because it's your workout time, don't be lazy with me. ”

In fact, Leonard has to rest for a while, Zhang Xiaotian is still worried, now the team has started well, his mood is a lot better, and it is very pleasant to go home and make trouble.

The Spurs' schedule in October is not tight, and Zhang Xiaotian is also quickly adapting to the rhythm of the game.

On October 25, the Spurs came to Miami to play against the new Heat.

The so-called brand new is because Zhang Xiaotian can no longer see his original good teammates on the field.

The start of this season is a bit evil, many teams have injuries, the Bulls and Raptors in front of them are not evenly lineed, and the same is true for the Heat, whose interior Whiteside cannot play.

The Heat also spent a lot of money in the summer, and neither a contract extension nor poaching Olynyk was cheap.

However, this kind of thing is not based on how much money is spent.

Players of the same price can be said to be very different in terms of combat effectiveness.

In terms of recruiting players, the Heat after the collapse of the Big Three are not very attractive.

This time the Spurs launched an attack from the inside, and without Whiteside, the Heat not only had problems with the defense, but also had some inability to defend the Spurs' interior.

Now they can only rely on the back line to score, but in defense it is a mess, Zhang Xiaotian and Aldridge can blow up the opposing players.

However, the Heat's bench players performed well during the rotation period, and Tyler Johnson and Kelly Olynyk, two tens of millions of substitutes, performed positively.

The Spurs' bench play was a little inconsistent, but the Heat got some respite.

But after the main team came on the court in the second quarter, the Heat's defense was torn to pieces.

Zhang Xiaotian is also a top all-star now, which is enough to determine the outcome of the game.

The Heat don't have players of his level, so it's a lot more difficult to play.

Moreover, with the Heat dominating, Zhang Xiaotian played extremely easily.

In the first half, the Heat could still rely on Dragic, Vitesse and other outside firepower to try to contend with it, and when the Spurs' defensive strategy was fine-tuned and became more targeted, the Heat's resistance collapsed.

The Spurs took a double-digit advantage in the third quarter, and halfway through the final quarter, they were able to pull back the game.

Zhang Xiaotian and Aldridge combined to score 69 points and completely dominate the inside and outside lines.

The Spurs easily started the four-game winning streak and performed much better than the Warriors and Cavaliers.

However, several of the big teams haven't had an impressive start to the season, and the Spurs have followed suit, losing away to the Magic.

The Magic team started the season very well.

Fournier, Aaron Gordon, and Vucevic are all in good shape, and the Spurs were blinded by the opponent's high shooting rate when they came up, and they didn't turn over when they tried to catch up in the second half.

Of course, Vicky controls the playing time of his players, and he doesn't work as hard as he did in the playoffs.

In fact, it's not so shameful, the Magic only beat the knights in front of them, and now they are sitting on the first throne in the East.

In the competitive arena, there will always be something unexpected happening, which is also the charm of sports.

However, as the season progresses, there will be fewer and fewer dark horses.

The loss in this game also made the Spurs see the team's current shortcoming, which is the problem of three-point shooting.

The Magic belong to the inside to help defend well, Aldridge is limited, Zhang Xiaotian is often pinched, and then the ball is passed out and the outside shooting rate is not good.

Murray didn't have a three-pointer, and Danny Green was hitting more and more iron.

**If Vicky knew that this was the result of Zhang Xiaotian's plug-in, he would probably be angry.

Dedmon's shortcomings in this point were also exposed, his attack range was relatively small, and he couldn't open up space.

In fact, if Leonard had been in these issues, his influence would not have been so great, and now it is magnified.

Because of the need to take care of defense, the Spurs' starting problem is really not easy to adjust rashly.

The old man is definitely going to scold, he didn't practice shooting well in the summer, and it was too normal to be scolded.

If the outside line can't improve, Murray and Danny Green will always have one person on the bench, or play one big or four small, which will increase the burden on Aldridge, and it is better to not use it often in the regular season.

Mr. Evans also thinks about it, but it is still necessary to observe, because the style of play requires the ball, and it is better to put it in the sixth man position first.

On October 29, the Spurs took on the Pacers away.

With Paul George gone, the Pacers have changed a lot, but they've also made some good returns through trades, such as Oladipo and Sabonis.

In addition, they signed Darren Collison and Bogdanovic, and now the squad is not weak, and it belongs to the bench bandits.

The Pacers have also suffered injuries and their center Myles Turner is unavailable, but Sabonis' top starter at least didn't make the team weaker on the offensive end.

At the beginning of the game, Zhang Xiaotian was guarded by strict defense, the Magic game worked well, and other teams will definitely follow suit, and the Spurs' current starter, Danny Green, who can be supported outside the three-point line, as long as the opponent is targeted, they are very embarrassed on the offensive end.

The old man was also a little embarrassed, but fortunately their bench lineup was better than the other party.

In fact, if the team plays a small lineup, with Ginobili, Evans, Gerard Green and others on the outside, the offensive efficiency is much better, but there are problems in defense.

The Spurs' run-in this season will definitely be more troublesome than last season, and when Parker and Leonard return, there will be run-in problems, and if you are reluctant to spend more money to maintain the original lineup, the run-in cannot be omitted.

Relatively speaking, the Spurs' defense has not fluctuated much, and the Pacers mainly rely on Oladipo and Sabonis to support their offense, but they have a few European players on the court, and the team is much more fluid than last season.

The two sides fought for half time, and it was the Spurs who fell behind.

**Vicky is not easy to scold, this really has something to do with his arrangement, Leonard is not there, he must configure shooters around Zhang Xiaotian.

Regarding the ratio of offense and defense, it can also be adjusted, if the offensive end can't be played, you can't win the game by defense alone.

It's not that Vicky doesn't know how to be flexible, it's just that some details haven't been thought out yet.

In the second half, the Pacers' defensive strategy did not change, and Zhang Xiaotian simply became tougher and made various defensive shots.

Not to mention, the efficiency is a little higher, this is the impact of individual ability on the game. 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!
