scored 34 points in a single quarter, 44 points and 8 rebounds in the whole game, including 11 three-pointers, and led the Spurs to a 21-point comeback victory, Zhang Xiaotian suddenly became the darling of the American media.

What a miracle, what an ugly duckling turns into a white swan, people all over the world love this kind of thing.

Maybe one day God will be blind, and the protagonist will be replaced by himself.

In the 21st century, the Internet is developed, and the number of Zhang Xiaotian's fans has skyrocketed in an instant, and his new nickname "Tianshen" has also spread rapidly.

Zhang Xiaotian personally praised it, "mad dog" is not a derogatory meaning in the United States, but "god" is obviously more compelling.

His name has a celestial character, and it is easy for everyone to accept it, just like Lefou's goddess of love.

Everyone envied the luck of the Spurs, what could the Spurs do, the Spurs were also desperate, why only signed for one year, the team manager R.C. Buford immediately announced that Zhang Xiaotian's contract had been converted into a guaranteed contract.

The contract was regularized, and Zhang Xiaotian immediately opened social media on the other side of the ocean and accepted an exclusive interview with Xu Yi.

It's not a shame to take advantage of the super performance to add to the fire, even if he becomes a regular, he still doesn't have much money, and he can increase his popularity without affecting his training, and maybe he can pick up some advertising or something to improve his quality of life.

Because he was still in the process of the away trip, Zhang Xiaotian temporarily felt that there were more phone calls, and he also accepted several additional media interviews.

Eddie, on his part, was already overjoyed, and many merchants had already contacted him.

He still has time to call and talk to Zhang Xiaotian because many people don't know that Zhang Xiaotian has an agent and the contact information of the agent.

Zhang Xiaotian gave Eddie a thorough explanation, the small endorsements and small business activities on San Antonio's side can be accepted without affecting his training, and the endorsements of big brands are based on years, if he is given a big contract because of this crazy performance, he can accept it, and he will pay it back if he doesn't pay much.

After making it clear, he turned to training and competitions, and the athletes talked about the results, and everything else was false.

On November 9, the Spurs played the Kings away.

The Kings are now dominated by young players, DeMarcus Cousins in the third year, Isaiah Thomas in the second year, and Tyrek Evans in the final year of his rookie contract.

Because of the unsatisfactory interior performance against the Clippers Spurs in the last game, the Spurs also removed Burres Dior as the starter in this game and replaced it with DeJuan Blair.

However, many fans still care about Zhang Xiaotian, athletes, like artists, can also become popular.

But to continue to be popular, the results must definitely keep up.

Spurs got off to a strong start again to prove that he was not completely old, scoring first on consecutive offenses.

But after the Kings stabilized the situation, Cousins also scored five consecutive points to lead the team's offense.

The young Kings began to attack the Spurs' defense, and by the second half of the first quarter, they took the lead.

Zhang Xiaotian was substituted at the beginning of the second quarter this time, and his shocking performance was different, and Popovich also planned to let him enter the regular rotation, otherwise the fans and team management would not agree.

He is also a person who has a lot of fans now, and he can bring financial benefits to the team.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't play well and doesn't let him go, but he definitely has a chance.

As soon as Zhang Xiaotian went up, James Johnson, who was defending him, began to provoke, "I heard that you are a magical boy, I hope you don't cry by me." ”

"Barnes thinks the same thing, but he might have to think about retiring now, and if I shoot you have to react, or your home fans will hate you."

In the opponent's half, Ginobili passed the ball to Zhang Xiaotian just like in the previous game.

Although it became popular all of a sudden, Zhang Xiaotian is still quite low-key in the team, several bigwigs in the team are more satisfied, and Ginobili is also willing to give him a chance.

Zhang Xiaotian caught the ball at one point, but he didn't expect James Johnson not only to jump up, but also to jump fiercely, pressing directly at him, as if he wanted to snap him hard.

He was not polite when he sent it, and Zhang Xiaotian immediately jumped up and made a shooting motion.

The referee's whistle blew and three free throws were taken.

Zhang Xiaotian breathed steadily, and solemnly hit three free throws, because he had a chance to play extraordinarily, he couldn't make mistakes in small things, he must win the points he could win, and he must concentrate on defense.

James John, who had just passed his addiction, was immediately replaced by Kings head coach Keith Smart.

The players who came up were close to Zhang Xiaotian in a decent manner, and they didn't dare to relax at all.

Zhang Xiaotian's goal has also been achieved, the Spurs don't need him to score at all now, Duncan, who has rested, comes up and kills again, but Cousins can only sit below and stare dryly because of the foul crisis.

The Spurs ended the first half with an eight-point lead, and in the third quarter, Cousins fouled again and went down a short time later, but Evans and substitute Marcus Thornton scored back-to-back points to help the Kings catch up with the score.

In the fourth quarter, the Kings simply put Evans at the No. 3 position and put on the most offensive lineup.

Zhang Xiaotian also played again, and in the face of the former best rookie, he did not dare to have a trace of negligence.

In the Kings' lineup, Thomas, Thorton, and Evans all have a lot of offensive power, but all three have a common problem, that is, they like to play alone.

Zhang Xiaotian provoked Evans when he came on the court: "Dude, I'm going to beat you alone in a while." ”

Evans snorted disdainfully, although he was ridiculed for being at the peak of his debut, and now he has begun to decline, but he still has strength.

Zhang Xiaotian wanted to single him, so he would single Zhang Xiaotian first.

Evans is not the kind of player who is extremely fast, well-rounded but not particularly good at shooting, and is somewhat similar to Zhang Xiaotian, and is the type of player he likes to defend the most.

Evans didn't pass Zhang Xiaotian in the first step, and Zhang Xiaotian kept sticking to him.

The opponent was stunned that there was no pass, and the 45-degree angle near the free throw line was directly a pull-up jump shot.

Zhang Xiaotian did not lose his position at all, and under his interference, Evans struck the iron gorgeously.

On the offensive end, Zhang Xiaotian attracted the attention of the opponent, and Mills hit a shot from the perimeter.

Evans still wanted to single Zhang Xiaotian, but Thomas Jr. came by himself.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't take the initiative to attack much from the first half, the Kings team began to defend him conscientiously, and now he has relaxed a lot, but this time Zhang Xiaotian was very decisive after receiving the ball, and he pulled up the shot in front of Evans, and Evans didn't react at all.

With a two-point hit, Evans' face suddenly changed.

He wanted to save face, but when it came time for the Kings to attack, Thorton didn't pass at all after receiving the ball, and he hit the iron.

Became a three-guard, a three-guard defeat, and the three singled several times, the Kings fell behind again, and the Spurs were completely in control of the situation on the court.
