Afflalo stopped shooting three points in the final quarter, and he already knew that there would be no luck in front of Zhang Xiaotian.

He came up with what he was best at, working both offensive and defensive ends.

It's just that he feels that Zhang Xiaotian is also a lot more difficult than before, and he does his best to score one of three at most on the offensive end.

He's not a soft egg, and he has to kill the second-year rookie in front of him at a critical moment.

Back hit, turn and lean back.

Afflaro is not as nimble as DeRozan, but he leans back so much that he barely gets covered.

The only downside is that because the amplitude is too large, the hit rate has also been affected a bit.

If his body can force the defenders, he won't have this trouble, but he obviously can't eat Zhang Xiaotian, so he can only rely on technique and difficulty.

Hit, 98-94, the Heat only led by 4 points, and the Magic saw hope.

But when you consider that the Heat trailed by 16 points in the first half, and the Magic led not long ago, the four-point gap can already make people feel hopeless.

In turn, the Heat broke through with the ball again, and the ball spun in the hands of James, Wade and Zhang Xiaotian, and finally Bosh hit an empty two-point shot.

It was the last minute, and the magic was stopped.

If they can defend against the Heat's offense, they can still choose to play safely.

With six points, the Magic once again opted for a three-pointer from the outside.

Afflaro asked for a cover and threw it up, Zhang Xiaotian was prepared, and the players who bypassed the opponent's cover directly sealed it, and Afflaro hit the iron again.

But Glenn Davis grabbed the rebound and hit the rebound, and there was hope for the Magic.

The Heat were unhurried and controlled the time, and James almost ran out of offensive time before he shot and hit.

Half of the time has passed, and there is still a six-point gap, and the Magic team has little hope.

Afflaro forced his hand again, and this time Zhang Xiaotian's judgment was more accurate.

Smack, a sturdy hat, Afflaro froze, Magic despaired.

At 103:97, the Heat successfully directed a comeback and won thirteen in a row.

At this point, the Heat are more focused on winning, and if they can break the long-standing opening streak, it will also be a great incentive for the team.

However, the team's injury problems have become more serious, and there is something wrong with Chanmos's wrist.

Zhang Xiaotian has good endurance, and often practices strength with James, but there is no problem with his body.

Now his main offense is still the three-point shot, and teaming up with two breakthrough All-Star-caliber players is a must-have skill.

There is also the ability to defend and fight, which is indispensable wherever you go.

He also wanted to improve in all aspects, but there was simply not enough time to train.

In the training of group confrontation, tactics take up a lot of time, and he is now practicing more, and the effect is not obvious, if he does not work hard, he will probably be eliminated in the league.

In the NBA, every year, some players who can't see the situation clearly leave silently.

Zhang Xiaotian wants to be more efficient, and the training room in the system is definitely a good choice.

But what to improve with precious victory points, to be honest, he feels that the choice is difficult.

The gap between people is still quite big, and James trains hard, but he is certainly not the only player who works so hard, and many times the ceiling is determined by talent.

The sunspot on the Internet kept saying that he hugged his thigh, and Zhang Xiaotian didn't bother to respond, but there were rookies in the league who wanted to challenge him, and he would say a few words.

On November 25, the Heat continued to sit at home, and this time it was the Suns who came to challenge.

The Suns made three changes to the starters, but there were no major changes in nature.

They pushed Dragic to the front, apparently still trying to bombard the backcourt.

Compared to last season, they had a decent start.

However, their potential newcomer Eric Bledsoe has been plagued by injuries, which has also bothered them a bit, but fortunately, the replacement Gerard Green has also played well.

The Heat were sidelined for this game, and Norris Kerr was given a start.

Although the Suns are bombarding, they still have the height of the inside line, and Bosh didn't feel good at the beginning.

Dragic organized the team well, and almost everyone scored.

However, the Suns obviously couldn't stop James and Wade, and they didn't force it, and put their efforts on defensive tactics that cut off the ball carrier from other teammates.

Because of the Suns' first change of defense and playing style, the Heat adjusted Zhang Xiaotian to the No. 4 position against Channing Frye.

It is obvious that Zhang Xiaotian suffers from being tall, but Channing Frye most of the time pulls to the outside to shoot, and Zhang Xiaotian is still quite experienced in dealing with big shooters.

The Suns' No. 3 PJ Tucker is a sturdy man, and they took the initiative to switch defenses to limit James.

But it's not that simple, PJ Tucker has a lot of power and speed, and can usually bully the opposing team's forward players, and even defend the inside.

But what he's good at is what James is better at than him, and that's tragic.

James played PJ-Tucker very efficiently, and by the way, he also led the team.

But the Suns are also playing well, the bench is rotation time, and the Heat's veterans really can't handle the Morris brothers.

The situation is a little more difficult than expected, and even a bombardment team like the Suns knows how to catch the holes in the Heat's interior line.

Now on the Heat's bench, except for Ray Allen, it is really difficult to find a person who is in charge.

So Spoelstra raised the idea of letting Zhang Xiaotian play as a substitute several times, but in the end he rejected it.

After his many observations, Zhang Xiaotian does not seem to be the type that can directly support the rotation time.

His conscientious defense and ability to score at key moments are more suitable for hiding behind the Big Three to assist, or to give a fatal blow in important moments.

Spoelstra somewhat understands why Spurs didn't spend a little more to keep Zhang Xiaotian, and the player's shortcomings are still relatively obvious.

If you use it well, it can be said that it is at the level of 10 million, and if you don't use it well, 3 million is too much.

The team with poor results may be able to gamble that the team aiming for the championship cares more about stability and controllability, and will not be so easy to make up its mind, not only because of money, but also about the lineup.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't expect that in a short period of time, the mood of the team's head coach had changed so much.

Otherwise, he will definitely cry out for injustice.

He's not unstable, he's too stable, and he can enter the level of a star in an instant when he activates his skills.

On the court, Zhang Xiaotian used his footsteps to beat Channing Frye.

He feels very good, the Heat play a small lineup for a long time, and although his breakthrough ability is not as good as James and Wade, it can gradually come in handy.

Any team that underestimates him will pay a price, not just the stats, he shakes and knows how to use the rhythm to get opportunities.
