Chapter 533 The Strong Are Always Lucky
Curry missed a three-pointer, sweat almost blurring his vision.
He has played for forty minutes, which is very rare for him.
The knee is a little numb, which affects the feeling of shooting, but he has no other way at this time.
Want to win, really want to win, but the opponent is like a robot, not giving them a chance at all.
"Zhang Xiaotian held the ball, and Durant was defending him. It was an exciting matchup."
"Going in again, the first step of Zhang Xiaotian's breakthrough is getting faster and faster... This time he chose to split the ball, and it was a relatively rare pass inside. Draymond Green can only foul, Aldridge Got to the free throw line."
Aldridge hit a free throw and the Spurs led by 6 points.
It was Durant who stood up for the Warriors at the last moment, ignoring the defense and hitting two points twice in a row.
Durant was really in his prime at this time, but unfortunately it was a little late.
During the Spurs' offense, Zhang Xiaotian once again followed suit and helped Aldridge score.
Just when the Warriors' attention was a little diverted, Zhang Xiaotian showed off his CIC skills again.
The game gap has not changed, what has changed is the time, it is already the last 3 minutes.
Even if the Warriors are still in shock, they will definitely feel very uncomfortable now.
Durant played singles with the ball again, but this time he was squeezed by Zhang Xiaotian in a physical confrontation. He staggered a step, and then the ball was taken away by Leonard who came to flank him.
Durant protested angrily like the referee, but just now Zhang Xiaotian was just a normal physical confrontation, and the referee ignored him.
On the contrary, the Spurs had no other emotions, and quickly counterattacked and scored another goal.
The Warriors chose a timeout. After the timeout, they made a three-point tactic. Curry made a shot but still missed.
Just when the Warriors were about to despair, the Warriors also completed a steal in the pinch. Clay took the ball and passed it to Draymond Green, completing an atypical Warriors attack.
A mistake occurred, Zhang Xiaotian took the initiative to slow down the rhythm.
He reminded everyone to focus, then hit a two-pointer off a screen in the middle of the shot clock.
Time is running out, and the Warriors are stuck in a time when they must hit a three-pointer.
This time Curry finally hit, but the time has reached the last minute.
Zhang Xiaotian controlled the time and used up all the attacking time before making a shot. Although the ball missed, there was not much time left for the opponent, and the Spurs still led by 5 points.
Curry forcibly missed a three-pointer, Durant grabbed an offensive rebound, but also missed a three-pointer.
This time the Spurs protected the backcourt rebounds, and the ball was quickly handed over to Zhang Xiaotian. The Warriors chose foul tactics, but in fact it didn't make much sense.
Zhang Xiaotian made two free throws. The Warriors made a mistake at the last moment and made another mistake. The game ended. The Spurs swept the Warriors 4-0, won the Western Conference Championship, and entered the finals first.
The Spurs have won the Western Conference champion many times, but this is exciting no matter what.
Especially seeing the hope of defending the title, the team's management is very happy.
Zhang Xiaotian can bring his wife and children to celebrate together this year, it's great to have an extra family member to share.
But the finals are still to be played, and the celebration of the Western Conference champions needs to be restrained a lot.
The current situation in the Eastern Conference does not see that team can advance, but no matter which team advances, the Spurs will have the advantage, and the team's mentality is also very good now.
Answering the reporter's question, Zhang Xiaotian also spoke in a neutral manner.
Now, there is no need to emphasize defending the title, just wait for the game.
Game [-] between the Celtics and the Cavaliers played well after returning home, but the Cavaliers' role players got lost again.
The first quarter of the game between the two teams was really important. This time, the Celtics felt a good advantage in the first quarter, and they kept it until the end, winning the match point tough.
The Cavaliers' problem is also obvious, and their three-pointers are very limited.
The Celtics also grasped this point and did a very good job defensively.
It's just that the Cavaliers have a super player like James, so there are often surprises.
And this time, the Celtics also did a good job defending James.
Moreover, they actively made changes, adding an inside line to the starting lineup, which is to block James from hitting the inside line.
After the game, Stevens also said that the team's changes were targeted.
When the two teams fought, the Spurs were accumulating strength.
The style gap between the Celtics and the Cavaliers is relatively large, so they are now practicing more offensive routines.
Whether Zhang Xiaotian will continue to win the finals MVP is also in the hot debate among fans.
You know, he is very hopeful to win the MVP this season.
The feeling of sweeping the most valuable player titles will definitely envy many players.
This Zhang Xiaotian is still more concerned, because it is related to the task.
Although his strength is already very strong, he doesn't mind being stronger. According to experience, this kind of difficult mission reward should be good.
The sixth game between the Celtics and the Cavaliers went to the Cavaliers' home court again.
The home team played better in front of both teams, and it's the same this time.
The difference is that this time it is not the first quarter to decide the winner, but the second quarter.
In the second quarter, James showed his power and helped the team gain the lead with an unstoppable posture.
James continued to be efficient in the second half, and the two teams also tied at 3:3, and the tie-break was about to begin.
The Spurs feel that their luck is still good, and the next opponent will have a lot of consumption if they encounter a tiebreaker.
However, the winning Cavaliers were not lucky, and Love was injured again.
So although they won this game, many people are not optimistic about the Cavaliers' next itinerary. Without Love, they still go to the away game to win.
But if the Celtics enter the finals, they will fight all the way with a broken formation, which can be regarded as a good story in the league.
As for who the opponent in the finals is, the Spurs actually don't choose.
Sometimes, a strong team will have more luck, and the Spurs' playoffs this time is a typical example.
After the game, James, who won 46+11+9, was interviewed by reporters with a loud voice, "Courage, tempering, flexibility, no matter who can fight. We must find a way to move forward. No matter how you plan to win, you must work hard to win." Game. If we were one game away from going to the Finals, I think everyone in the locker room, not just the players, in suits, polos, anyone would take that challenge."
Zhang Xiaotian was also excited by these words, he was looking forward to the duel with the champion of the Eastern Conference.
Perhaps it would be a good choice to face James again. Bullying Tatum, a rookie, is not so fun after all.
So Zhang Xiaotian sent a message to James, "Brother, hurry up and fight with me, I can't wait."
