76ers head coach Brett Brown and his players desperately explained the tactics, almost with a dry mouth.

It's not the first time they've been dealt with like this, and they should be okay with it, but they should be better defensively.

Of course, it would be nice to be able to connect more on the offensive end.

In the final quarter, they dealt with Zhang Xiaotian in a similar way to the Spurs did with Ben Simmons, forcing him inside, and then helping to defend inside.

They have Embiid on the inside, and it feels like tactics are easier to succeed with.

In fact, it is not so easy, Zhang Xiaotian's projection ability is much stronger than Ben Simmons.

The Spurs covered high on their side, and Zhang Xiaotian's consecutive scores changed the situation in an instant.

The 76ers realized their problem, and their roster had height and projection, but it didn't move fast enough.

They did not delay and immediately replaced all the main forces.

The Spurs still used one big and four small, but they still adjusted, and Murray came up to the three-point point of J.J. Redick to appropriately strengthen the individual defense.

The opposing defense was more focused on Zhang Xiaotian, who took the opportunity to provide an assist, and Gerald Green hit two three-pointers to give the Spurs a few more points ahead.

The 76ers now have a feeling of desperation the more they exert their strength, their young players are very talented, but they still lack some experience in locking up players of Zhang Xiaotian's level.

As the game entered the final five minutes, Ben Simmons attacked with the ball several times, showing excellent physicality and big heart.

His mid-range was much more accurate than before, and he also made Zhang Xiaotian and Aldridge each foul.

But the Spurs still stuck to the three-point line and didn't let the opponent make a single three-pointer.

The 76ers' defense has also adjusted, and the Spurs have no chances outside the three-point line.

It's just that Zhang Xiaotian and Aldridge's blocking and dismantling still shredded the 76ers' defense.

In fact, in the Spurs, the blocking and dismantling of the two are not used a lot, Zhang Xiaotian is either a double impact with Leonard, or Dedmon comes out to cover in a high position and allows him to shoot directly.

Aldridge generally pulls out the block, with him as the main body, and plays more with the No. 1 position.

But at this time, the two also cooperated very tacitly, Zhang Xiaotian's return pass, Aldridge threw very comfortably.

The 76ers suddenly had no choice, they were a little messy.

At 2 minutes and 49 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian assisted Evans to hit a three-pointer, and the Spurs led by 9 points.

At 1 minute and 41 seconds, Zhang Xiaotian chased down a three-point shot, and the Spurs' lead came to double digits.

Then Embiidra came out and missed a three-point shot, and the 76ers' confidence in the game almost disappeared.

The first half was attacked by young people, and there were twists and turns in the middle, but Spurs won the game in the end.

Half of the Spurs are already a strong team, and the rest of the league can only envy and hate.

James, in particular, is in a bit of a difficult situation for the Cavaliers right now.

In the All-Star voting, James is also temporarily behind the alphabet song, but fortunately, the two of them are competing for the vote king in the East, but the war is fierce in the West, and the votes of Zhang Xiaotian, Curry, Durant, and Harden are not much different.

If Zhang Xiaotian didn't care about the defender's ticket king before, this time it was different.

Fortunately, Zhang Xiaotian is now slightly ahead, and he is also confident and thanked the fans.

Yang Feiyu is high-spirited, and he was bored during the time he gave birth, this time he organized several fan activities in a row, and generously sponsored part of the funds with Zhang Xiaotian's trumpet.

Spurs' January schedule is also not easy, and the coaching staff is more concerned about the health of the players.

However, after back-to-back away games, they can still take it a little easier.

On January 5th, they returned to their home court to face the Suns.

The Suns are now out of competition and are fully focused on developing new talents, and Eric Bledsoe has traded them out.

Facing Devin Booker, who had some ideas, it also took the Spurs halftime to get them done.

It's another break after clocking out in advance, back-to-back.

But the team has to play back-to-back away games next, which is quite annoying.

Fatigue is not only physical, but also mental, and the longer you stay in the league, the heavier the psychological fatigue will become, and if you can't be strict with yourself, you will fall to the top early, and there are many players in the league who are like this.

Zhang Xiaotian tried to keep himself enthusiastic, and his family and games were able to help him.

However, he still maintained his original passion for basketball, but he just became a little disgusted with airplanes.

On January 7, the Spurs challenged the Trail Blazers away.

Lillard was sidelined, and the Spurs also took the opportunity to rest a few players.

Murray finally started once, but his form was not very good.

The opponent's main force is still suppressed by the Spurs, and Aldridge feels good.

But the Trail Blazers' bench players played well today, especially Harkless.

The points lost by their main team, and almost all the substitutes have been recovered.

** Vicky is not in a hurry, there is a main rotation break when there is a back-to-back, and there will be marginal people who usually don't play much to come out for a walk.

At Spurs, players are not afraid of not having a chance, just see if they can grasp it.

Obviously, this kind of opportunity is not something that anyone can grasp, and it was Ginobili who performed best on the bench.

Ginobili looked very old a few years ago, and he can often be amazed until now, worthy of the name of the demon knife.

The Spurs' defense was mainly aimed at C.J. McCum and Nurkic, and they did a decent job of not limiting completely, but they only led by a few points in the first half.

Some players who don't usually play are difficult to integrate directly into the team's tactics.

In the third quarter, Shabazz Napier suddenly went berserk and blew Murray up.

Vicky hurriedly replaced the guy, Murray, the lad was completely sleepwalking today, which was not expected before.

Fortunately, Aldridge was in good shape, he and Zhang Xiaotian used good performances to help the team press the accident, but this quarter still allowed the Trail Blazers to pull the score back.

The core is not there, and many teams can't play at a high level, but sometimes surprises happen.

Because the opponent's defense is not targeted, some role teams may break out in normal times, so that the opponent is not in a hurry.

That's the case with the Trail Blazers today, and it would have been more targeted if Lillard had defended with the Spurs.

Of course, the chances of a role player breaking out are not very high, but they are in trouble, but fortunately, the Spurs have enough foundation and are not knocked out by a stick.

When it comes to the last quarter, it is Zhang Xiaotian's time, and he will not allow others to steal the victory.

C.J. McLuum rested for two minutes and found that the team couldn't really do without him on the offensive end, and the outburst of role players needed someone to attract the attention of the defense.

He could only return to the court early, hoping to limit Zhang Xiaotian with offense. 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!
