Chapter 91: Breaking the Deadlock

Carter then missed a three-pointer on one last attempt, and the Spurs won the game 93-90.

Despite the close scoreline, Spurs have been in the driver's seat, showing their strong team style.

On March 16, the Spurs hosted the Cavaliers without Irving.

Irving suffered an injury after he said that he wanted to take the team to the playoffs.

Without Irving, Vitesse, who has a heart higher than the sky, has not proven his ability to lead the team, and the Cavaliers are now completely hopeless in the playoffs.

Parker still hasn't returned, but Duncan and Leonard have blown up the opposing players from the start.

Of course, their back line was also blown up by the other side.

Without a strong partner to attract the defense, a player of Danny Green's type will also suffer.

However, Duncan's performance in these two games really tastes like he is back to the top, and the Cavaliers' interior line has been beaten by him on both offensive and defensive ends, and the young player is afraid that this uncle is terrible.

In fact, the Cavaliers' offense in this game was not bad, but they were always pressed by the Spurs, and the game was almost over when Zhang Xiaotian was powerful in the fourth quarter.

After the win over the Cavaliers, the Spurs were waiting for the Warriors at home.

The Warriors' main center, Bogut, has returned, and they have been bloody opponents in the first few games, and many people have been amazed that there is another strong team in the West.

But this time against Spurs, the situation changed a little.

It's about coming in at home, and there are no back-to-back games, and Duncan's energy is good.

Duncan is in good shape, so he is talking on the inside, at least Bogut and David Lee are not enough to pose much of a threat to him, especially when the old stone Buddha gave the opponent two big hats in the first quarter.

In fact, Duncan's blocks this season are quite ferocious, averaging almost 3 per game, which is about the same as at his peak.

Let's put it this way, now this Spurs, if Parker is slashing points, there can be other situations, and Duncan is basically stable when he dominates the interior.

The Spurs were completely in control of the initiative from the first half of the rotation, and then the Warriors were obsessed with the three-guard style of play, but there was no way to solve the defensive problem.

The outside line fights the feel and has the inside and the outside, of course, the latter is more stable, unless it can go against the sky.

Curry felt very good, but not to the extent of going against the sky, so the Spurs won another victory.

During this time, there were more home games, Yang Feiyu lost his fighting spirit again, and Zhang Xiaotian and had a very good life.

After beating the warriors, Zhang Xiaotian accompanied Yang Feiyu to have a big dinner to celebrate her liberation.

Mr. Yang's short period of entrepreneurship ended in tragedy, but fortunately, someone took over and did not lose to the extent that he couldn't eat.

Zhang Xiaotian couldn't help but sigh, rich people are different, the whole process from the establishment of a company to the sale is so fast, if he were an investor, he would probably want to cut them with a knife.

This was despised by Yang Feiyu, "Now is the information society, the high-tech industry is in such a hurry, how can a guy with developed limbs like you understand." ”

"Next is my graduation thesis, and my life is still very full."

Zhang Xiaotian looked back with disdain, "Please, although I am an athlete, I went to college based on cultural achievements, speaking of which, I am still your senior brother, and my brain cannot be simpler than yours." ”

I didn't expect that going to college with cultural grades would become something he was proud of, and it was very uncomfortable for him not to be recruited at the beginning.

However, he really can't understand Yang Feiyu's entrepreneurship, and the interlacing is like a mountain.

On March 22nd, it was still home, but the difference was that Parker had returned.

This time it was the Jazz who came to challenge them, and the Jazz have a mediocre record right now and are working hard for a ticket to the playoffs.

I don't know if it's because of Parker's return, or because the Jazz's inside line is not a dish.

At the start of the game, Duncan didn't show absolute dominance like in previous games.

Still, he grabbed most of the Jazz's defensive attention and created plenty of opportunities for others.

Zhang Xiaotian sat on the bench and cared more about Leonard's performance.

Truth be told, Leonard's talent makes him a little envious, and this guy is growing at an amazing rate.

As soon as this game started, Hayward was locked up by him.

Hayward played one more year than Leonard, and he is also the young man that the team focuses on cultivating, but at this time, Leonard can be seen to grow better.

What to do, is pride worthy of the man who let him play as a substitute.

Zhang Xiaotian knows that his talent is very average, but if it is on the court, he will not admit defeat.

Hayward was a regular last season, and the Jazz had him try to play the sixth man this season, but ended up putting him in the starting lineup.

In this case, Zhang Xiaotian will have to face Marvin Williams, a player who is extremely experienced on both offensive and defensive ends.

Although the former star star has not grown into a star player, he has also managed to gain a foothold in the league, and he is well-rounded and difficult to deal with.

Zhang Xiaotian is more uncomfortable with this kind of solid player.

Coupled with Ginobili's poor hand, the Spurs rarely suffered in the rotation.

The good thing is that their defense is good, and the main players are also very good.

Although they only scored 38 points in the first half, they only allowed the opponent to score 41 points.

To put it bluntly, the problem for both teams now is attack.

And the two teams solve the problem similarly, both of which are to let the inside line hold the ball and play with the outside players, and wait for opportunities for the outside players to spread out.

Al Jefferson and Duncan both did well, the game between the two teams was very tangled, often hitting iron and scoring, and Randy Foyer and Danny Green also seized the opportunity to score the ball on the inside.

This is not uncommon in a game, and if a team can't hold on first, they will definitely lose.

The Jazz went into the fourth quarter with a lead, but going into the final quarter, it was Leonard who took the lead.

It's just that the Spurs just had the posture to overtake the score, and the Jazz's shooting rate has also improved, and their bench players seem to have suddenly opened up.

After Zhang Xiaotian came on the field, he immediately played a 2+1, and the scores of the two teams narrowed the gap again.

The Jazz were also quick to react, reducing a guard and bringing both Hayward and Marvin Williams on the court at the same time, adding height while continuing to strengthen the defense.

This lineup can be inside and out, and it is more appropriate to use Marvin Williams to consume Leonard.

And at this time, the inside line of both sides has little chance to play calmly.

However, the trouble is that the score is still the lead of the opponent, and if the Spurs do not do something to break the deadlock, the less time they play, the more passive they will be.

Just when the air in the arena was about to freeze with tension, Leonard suddenly made a successful steal.

After he got the ball, he passed it directly to Zhang Xiaotian, who quickly dribbled the ball to the opponent's half, stopped in front of the three-point line and pulled it up and threw the ball.
