Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 11 The Regular Season Begins
"Beautiful, Curry has improved again." Zhang Sixin admired.

"This is talent." Tyronn Lue said enviously when he thought of his playing career.

Dell Curry is proud of himself. Although he was only a sixth man in his playing days, he is strong in cultivating his son.

Curry is very adaptable to playing the only core. In fact, most young players will adapt to a similar style of play, because many of them came here in their school days.

It's just that in the NBA, most of them can only become supporting roles, but Curry has the ability to continue to be the leading role.

Facing the loose defense of the Raptors, Curry is omnipotent in scoring, assisting, and stealing.

The Raptors can play, it is completely Bargnani's super-level explosion.

His mediocre performance this time, the Raptors exposed their biggest weakness, no one inside to protect the frame.

Bosh's data is pretty good, he can grab rebounds and score, but he is the same as Love in this respect, he can't control the penalty area with data alone.

It's just that the specific situation is slightly different. Bosh can't handle it with strength, and Love can't move and bounce.

Milicic is on the inside alone, and his defense is better than the Raptors Bosh and Bargnani.

"You see, as long as there are outside shots, it will be much easier to cut inside." Zhang Sixin said.

This is easy to understand. If the Timberwolves shoot well from the outside, the opponent will expand, and the inside will also be affected.

It's just, can the team maintain this shooting percentage in the regular season?

The defense in the preseason is still much weaker.

"You can't be obsessed with outside shooting, you can't rely entirely on the player's touch." Ron Adams said.

For people from Adams' age, defense is the greatest truth.

"Of course." Zhang Sixin didn't deny it. He smiled, "A strong team must be able to attack and defend. But in the league, outside shooting will definitely become more and more important."

"Compared to relying on strong physical talent to hit the inside, outside shooting is easier to practice and easier to score."

"Now the league's ordinary players are getting better and better. Except for those talented star players, it is difficult for others to score as they want. Therefore, the league needs a relatively simple way of scoring. Faster rhythm, more precise shooting, and allowing many players to participate in the offense are the direction of basketball development."

"If it is reflected in defense, the ability to dislocate defense will become more and more important."

"I can help the team with this." Ron Adams also laughed.

He can actually accept new things, as long as he can pass the test of record.

To be honest, the Timberwolves actually performed well in the preseason.

Moreover, Zhang Sixin's idea is not particularly deviant. Many coaches in the league have already tried it, but he pays more attention to three-pointers.

As the game progressed, Curry's organizational ability was reflected, and the Timberwolves blossomed more on the court.

It also has something to do with the Raptors' defense. Their defense is not online. Most of the Timberwolves young people can go in and score, which made Bargnani foul too much.

The Raptors were only a few points behind in the first half, but in the third quarter Curry led the team to a three-point rain, which directly helped the team expand its lead to double digits, and the Raptors lost much fighting spirit in the final quarter.

In the last game of the preseason, the Timberwolves took the opponent lightly. Curry scored 21 points, 9 assists, 6 rebounds and 4 steals, just like a star player on the court.

After the game, Zhang Sixin was full of confidence in the face of reporters. He said: "The last few games of the preseason are a bit dense. Our players are tired. We also encountered injuries. Even if we lose the game, it is justifiable."

"But great players and great teams always find a way to improve and win in the end."

"The regular season will start soon. I have full confidence in the team. Please wait and see."

Zhang Sixin wasn't exactly bragging, after finishing a batch of missions, he basically pointed out all kinds of offensive and defensive tactics.

The point is, because of the system, young players grow faster than normal, the team recovers better from injuries, and the team's strength is gradually increasing.

Maybe the current Timberwolves can't be a real strong team, but they can already bully the fish, and then they are [-]-[-] away from the general playoff teams.

"It's good to have talent in the team, the draft is really the key." Zhang Sixin couldn't help sighing.

It's a pity that this year's rookie positions are too concentrated, otherwise he really wants to handle the team's backcourt, striker and inside line all at once.

Three days later, the regular season will officially start, and the Timberwolves' debut of the new season will be the second day after the start of the regular season.

So the team has three days to adjust. Zhang Sixin gave the players a day off to relax. He also needs to sort out the gains during this period, and then plan the next priorities.

What Zhang Sixin is most concerned about now is Love's recovery from his injury, but when entering the regular season, the first thing to do is to finish the series of missions that Milicic picked up, which is the first stage of the mission.

Because as long as Milicic takes the lead in starting the official game, the current stage of the task can be completed perfectly.

Originally, Love needed to come off the bench first, but I didn't expect that this buddy was injured and couldn't play. Milicic could start without a trace. Sure enough, sometimes disasters can also reap benefits.

Matthews still has a ten-game starting task, but there is no limit to the number of games on his side, and he can start again when needed.

While completing the tasks of the players, the tasks of the assistant coaches are also very important. Remember to keep an eye on the progress of the task of Dell Curry and find a way to complete it.

And Ron Adams finally got a mission.

[Ron Adams’ approval. 】

It can be completed by the middle of the season with more than half of the winning percentage. This is also a very rewarding task.

A strong defense, whether it is in the regular season or entering the playoffs, is very critical.

For the new season, Zhang Sixin is also looking forward to it.

In the first game of the regular season, the Timberwolves received a lot of attention, mainly from Huaguo.

Because it is the Huaguo Derby, the Timberwolves will face the challenging Nets at home.

In the pre-match interview, Zhang Sixin did not give his opponent face. He said: "Yi Jianlian is a good player, but the Nets are not very good. We will definitely win."

Don't give the team face but give the reporter face, this is the art of language.

With the departure of Carter in the summer, the Nets' Three Musketeers have completely become history.

The Nets have rejuvenated their lineup this season and have embarked on the road to reconstruction.

On the surface, the Nets and Timberwolves feel similar, and even the Nets are more reliable.

However, Harris, the outside core of the Nets, looked good last season, but he is actually useless. He is not good at organization, and his shooting is not very good. It is very inefficient to rely on speed.

The rest of the team is also obviously weak. Only the second-year Lopez is good. He looks like Duncan's successor. He has solid low-post skills and is much better than Bogut's self-proclaimed.

But Lopez's physical fitness is not outstanding, his rebounds are weak, and he can't afford the Nets.

There are still people paying attention to the weak opponent at the beginning, Zhang Sixin thinks it is perfect.
