Zhang Xiaotian likes to stand up at critical moments, and this kind of pressure and sense of accomplishment is very enjoyable.

If the transmission continues, there may be empty positions, but Zhang Xiaotian planned to finish the attack by himself from the beginning.

He's not shooting blindly either, and the rotating Darren Collison isn't tall enough and weighs enough to interfere with him at all.

So he first squeezed people out of the way, and then he shot outside the three-point line.

Darren Collison was knocked out of more than a meter by him, and there was nothing wrong with the side body contact, and there was nothing wrong with a reasonable collision.

Basketball is originally a sport that requires the body, Zhang Xiaotian was not affected in any way, and after pulling up the three points into the net, 7 points, the psychological pressure on the opponent from the expansion of the lead was completely different.

The Clippers followed up with a frontcourt rebound, which caused another foul.

This Zhang Xiaotian has no choice, and now there are a bunch of big men on the inside, and he can't squeeze in at all.

Two free throws and one hit, good, this foul is worth it.

If you can't grab it, you will foul and would rather let the opponent make free throws, which is also the tactic of the Heat.

Now they have two five-guilty offenders, two four-guilty offenders, and time is running out anyway, so they have to hold on to the end.

It was the Heat's turn to attack again, and they still let James attack with the ball.

Barnes' defense is very hard, but he is not young anymore, and his strength is not James's opponent at all, how can he stop it.

The Clippers could only choose to flank the attack, and this time James directly distributed it to Zhang Xiaotian, and Zhang Xiaotian hit two points steadily.

The lead became eight points and the game was getting more and more secure.

The advantage of the Clippers is the inside, not to mention that their free throws are just average, even if they can score two points at a time, it will be very difficult to chase points at this time.

The point is, they can't limit the Heat's offense.

Is it a way to strengthen the outside defense, that is to abandon the martial arts, the previous Pistons were like this, the Clippers definitely didn't do it, but they couldn't prevent it.

Griffin hit, Jordan Jr. hit, but Heat James hit another three-pointer.

The Clippers were tired because the clock was ticking the last minute.

At this time, they can only fight for three points, and the Heat certainly understand that the other party has no way out.

Now their defensive tactics are just a word, tighten the blockade of the three-point line.

Crawford didn't get a chance at all, he only rested for a minute in the whole game, and now he was tired enough, and under Zhang Xiaotian's close defense, he was almost on his knees.

In the end, Griffin came out and hit three points, and Griffin was also ruthless in this game, and he had already cut 40+, but the game had to kneel, and only data remained.

hit a three-pointer, but time was running out, the Clippers adopted foul tactics, James hit both free throws, and the game suddenly lost suspense.

117:110, the Heat lost more than 20 rebounds, but they won a victory, making Griffin's 43+15+6 an empty cut, and Zhang Xiaotian's 15 points and 3 rebounds were also beautiful.

The All-Star is getting closer and closer, but the Heat's schedule during this time is not very good.

Starting from playing the Clippers, the Heat have been away from home in the West, and they have to play back-to-back.

The Pacers are still following closely behind, and the Heat have to keep the results and prevent injuries from the players.

Like the Spurs, giving up some difficult games to rest the main players, the Heat still don't have that thick skin, and the league is second only to that.

The key is that the Spurs can win games almost without mistakes, and they are not convinced.

Yang Feiyu was already doing things on the other side of the ocean, and there were a lot of things that she had to handle when she was setting up a shelf, so she couldn't help but start dealing with it before she even finished the New Year.

The complaint is certain, but after the failure of the last venture, this guy has also matured a lot.

This time I was well prepared, and I did a good job.

On February 8, the Heat came to Utah again.

Now the Jazz are rebuilding, but it's a standard belly team.

But the Heat have a bad problem, and they often abandon their martial arts when facing the fish belly team.

In fact, it is also because the Heat's tactical system relies heavily on stars, and in the face of average-strength teams, the head coach still wants a few giants to take a break more, which often gives people opportunities.

Zhang Xiaotian's defensive task today is quite heavy, and he has to defend the Jazz's young new core, Gordon Hayward.

Although Hayward is a white forward, he has a very tough style on the court.

Zhang Xiaotian likes it very much and plans to fight hard with the other party.

The game started off normally, with Bosh scoring first for the Heat.

It's just that James is a little iron today, Marvin Williams is still very experienced defensively, and Derrick Feivers on the Jazz interior is not bad to help defend, James is a little uncomfortable.

The Jazz's home game has always been difficult to play, even if they have a bad record right now.

But what made the Heat feel a little headache was that the opponent felt very good today, and in the middle of the first quarter, several Jazz players suddenly hit consecutive three-pointers.

They also have four people on the court who can shoot, and if they don't hit, they are Hayward.

Zhang Xiaotian's defense may not be the strongest, but his attitude is good enough.

From the very beginning of the match, he put Hayward in an endless physical confrontation that made the opponent very unaccustomed.

The Jazz's outburst on the offensive end was mostly Marvin Williams, which the Heat didn't notice.

Coupled with the ability of Alec Burks and Enes Kanter on the Jazz bench on the offensive end, the Heat took it lightly during the rotation period and was led by the Jazz to double digits.

Seeing the change in scores, the Heat became vigilant.

After the main team returned to the court, they strengthened their defense and played more aggressively on the offensive end.

The big three worked together and quickly caught up with the score again.

In fact, the Jazz don't have many offensive means, and if the Heat can defend it with their hearts, the other party has no chance.

Zhang Xiaotian did the best in this regard, he also had a rivalry when he met this kind of young core, and Hayward was pestered by him.

However, there is also a reason why Hayward is a little out of shape, and after his shooting was interfered with a few times, Hayward also began to make the ball for his teammates.

Hayward is actually a very well-rounded forward player, if not compared to James.

It was very difficult to completely restrain him, but Zhang Xiaotian enjoyed this kind of duel very much.

In the first half, the Heat finally narrowed the gap to two points, and after entering the locker room, Spoelstra also analyzed the Jazz's situation in detail.

Now that the Jazz, it shouldn't be difficult for the Heat to lock them up, and they definitely can't capsize in the gutter.

At the beginning of the second half, the Heat tightened their defense.

And the Jazz made the same choice, strengthening the defensive focus, they pinched James and let him shoot.

This is also what many teams do, and the success rate is probably less than 30%, after all, James's shooting is not as bad as some fans remember.

Today, though, the tactic is clearly working.
