Chapter 157: The Man Who Leads the Trend
should have been taught a lesson by the coach, and Middleton didn't compete with Zhang Xiaotian when he played again.
He showed his original strength, running without the ball to seek opportunities for mid-range shots, and not making out of line in defense.
Compared with before, Zhang Xiaotian felt a lot more boring, but it also saved a lot of energy.
The Heat is in short supply of personnel, and he is now playing the main team, but he can't wrestle with people as soon as he gets on the court like before, especially when the opponents are two young and energetic boys.
However, it is useless not to make mistakes in front of Zhang Xiaotian, and it is useless to help the team in terms of preparation.
The Heat is still a Big Three team, and it's useless for the Bucks to handle it.
O.J. Mayo managed to keep up with Wade despite his efforts, and Butler was really no threat to James.
At the beginning of the second half, James shot inside and outside, Butler could only watch, and the defense was no different from paper, and the score gap suddenly went up to 20.
The Bucks can only pin their hopes on the outside, which can be regarded as a half-abandonment.
Gary Neil had a good hand, but it was too late.
In the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian seized the time to bully two young people, hit consecutive singles, and finally brushed the score to 20 in garbage time.
[The opposing player meets the requirements of the mission, and the Pride of the Champion completes 1/10 of the progress.] 】
When this message appeared in the system, Zhang Xiaotian almost burst into tears.
Unintentionally inserted willows into the shade, he instantly fell in love with the two young people of the buck.
'They were very aggressive, we trash each other and that's part of the game.
"I like the feeling of having someone challenge me, I also like to challenge strong players, to have a heart to challenge to become stronger, they will definitely adapt to this league very quickly, and a lot of what I have said before is also to challenge my seniors and push myself to improve."
"I want someone to take on a challenge with me, and competitive sports need to be lonely."
Zhang Xiaotian was in a good mood when he was interviewed, and the previous low-level provocation turned into a high-level challenge.
After all, the two young players of the Bucks have never been like Zhang Xiaotian in society, and after the game, they also shyly said that they have also gained a lot in the duel, and they seem to be Zhang Xiaotian's juniors.
Zhang Xiaotian's fans praised his performance, but what he didn't expect was that his remarks also caused a reaction from a group of people in the league.
First of all, Jimmy Butler responded on social media, hoping to have a chance to face Zhang Xiaotian head-on.
Draymond Green, who has risen slightly for the Warriors, said that neither of the first two is his opponent.
Some newcomers are also starting to respond, wanting to increase their impact, and soon it will not be limited to the strikers.
The league wants young people to be vibrant, and a little push has turned it into a trend, and some veteran players have joined in.
Zhang Xiaotian: As long as he can cut points, it is estimated that there will not be much trouble in completing the task.
On November 15, the Heat welcomed the Mavericks at home.
The Mavericks made some changes this summer, and the main lineup changed three people, but the basic configuration remained the same, almost all of them were replaced by O.J. Mayo and Monta Ellis.
The reason for their better record than last season is Nowitzki's health, and the 35-year-old is still a threat.
The Mavericks are also one big and four small most of the time, and there is not much gap between them and the Heat's lineup.
At the beginning of the game, everyone found a problem, that is, who will defend Nowitzki.
The Mavericks are switching defenses to let Sean Marion play against James, of course, at Marion's current age, it is actually a little reluctant to defend James.
But no one in the Heat can defend against Nowitzki, Zhang Xiaotian is too short, and the same is true for James.
Nowitzki is not like those pure goalscorers, he can carry the ball.
As soon as King Nuo's signature move, the golden rooster, comes out independently, and no one can get it.
After Zhang Xiaotian was humiliated twice, the Heat could only make adjustments and let Lewis come up and try.
If not, you have to go to Anderson and let Bosh follow Nowitzki.
But they don't have enough people on the inside, so it's better not to let Bosh play.
Lewis came up to the top this time and the effect was okay, anyway, Nowitzki couldn't be completely locked, just limit his chances to shoot.
The Heat barely came up with a way to deal with Nowitzki, but the Mavericks didn't find a way to lock up James.
Marion is too old, Jay Claude is too tender, Carter is at a loss, and Nowitzki can't keep up.
The two sides were evenly matched at 31:32 in the first quarter, but the gap appeared in the second quarter.
It's not a loss for the Mavericks to have Carter in rotation time, but Nowitzki is old after all, and his efficiency has begun to decrease under the rotation of a bunch of people from the Heat.
Like Zhang Xiaotian, although he can't prevent it, his physical confrontation is also a huge drain.
And James is different, although he is also rotated efficiency, his body is not comparable to ordinary humans at all, plus the Mavericks' defense is really cute, James and Wade took turns to power, and the team took the advantage in the score.
It's not that the Mavericks are too weak, it's that the Heat are too strong.
Nowitzki is getting older and older, and if the calf does not train a successor, it is estimated that it will be miserable.
In the first half, when Nowitzki was not feeling well, the Heat established a lead and led by nine points at halftime.
In the second half, the Mavericks were a little broken for James, but their defensive intensity for others improved, and their purpose was to disconnect James from others.
They worked a little late in this move, and now that the Heat are ahead, James has a lot of options, and he doesn't need to work hard alone.
The score gap is difficult to close, and the Mavericks can't do it at a glance.
They let Nowitzki go to rest for a while, then put Carter at the No. 3 position, let Nowitzki play five, and then fight with the Heat to attack, which is also their last resort.
Zhang Xiaotian also faced Vince Carter after he came on the court, the 36-year-old demigod has decreased in physical fitness, but his attitude towards defense is much better.
Zhang Xiaotian wants to take advantage of the other party's body, which is quite not easy.
However, the Mavericks' lineup is still an old problem defensively, what should I do if James breaks in.
Don't talk about James, what should I do if Zhang Xiaotian breaks in.
Nowitzki still turned his back to hit Bosh in the face of Bosh, but then Zhang Xiaotian received Wade's ball.
In the face of the conscientious Carter, Zhang Xiaotian was directly strong, as long as he wiped it, he would be nine out of ten, and if he couldn't erase it, he would have a hit rate of almost fifty percent.
After the King of the Last Section was upgraded, Carter, whose physical fitness declined, was really a little difficult to block Zhang Xiaotian's singles.
At this point, there was no other way for the calf.
