Chapter 20 Difficult schedule
"We have to recognize our true strength and the team's position in the league. But it doesn't mean that we are not strong enough now, and we can't compare with some strong teams, so we should stop fighting and fight hard."

"Do you know what our biggest advantage is? It's youth! Because we are young, we are improving every day. Now we may only be a marginal team in the playoffs, but when the playoffs really come, who knows that we will not be in the top four in the West, or even better?"

"I just want to ask, do you have confidence?"

"Anyway, I'm confident. I'm no worse than other head coaches. If you think you can't do it, you can tell me in private that I won't force him in the future. The team also needs people to train with. He can still get his own salary."

"But if you feel that you are not inferior to others, that's great...train harder, play more focused, and execute tactics better. Our goal is to become the best team in the league step by step."

"Gentlemen, let's work hard, let's realize the value of life, become a good basketball player, and get paid more than others."

"Hard work pays off. Dollars are a good thing, aren't they?"

Athletes are still more susceptible to chicken soup, especially young players.

On Love's side, there are still two games left before the task can be completed.

Zhang Sixin also talked to each player in the team individually to test the coach's conversation skills, and the effect was not bad.

The outside world suspects that the team is the same thing, anyway, the Timberwolves have always been the same thing.

As long as the team's internal atmosphere does not deteriorate, Zhang Sixin will not worry.

On November 11, the Timberwolves encountered another strong enemy at home, and the Mavericks visited.

The Mavericks signed and traded Sean Marion this season, and most of their future championship team has been assembled, leaving only Chandler.

As a traditional strong team in the West, the Mavericks almost belong to the type of both offense and defense, which is more difficult to play.

And they have the superstar Nowitzki, who is even more difficult to deal with than the Suns.

In this game, Jefferson asked for leave due to his family's illness, and the Timberwolves were relatively short on the inside.

Fortunately, the Mavericks are either a meat shield with no scoring ability, such as Dampier, or an alternative big man like Nowitzki. Zhang Sixin is not very worried.

He let Frye's partner Milicic start, and if Brewer comes off the bench, he will be the fourth position to defend Nowitzki.

The Timberwolves have an uneven lineup, and the Mavericks are also troubled by injuries. Josh Howard cannot play.

Therefore, Zhang Sixin still holds the hope of defeating his opponent. The key is that it will become more and more difficult for the team to continue the losing streak.

No matter who the opponent is now, Zhang Sixin must have the mentality of defeating the opponent.

After this game, the Timberwolves went to the away game to play back-to-back.

The schedule at the beginning of the new season is definitely not friendly to the young Timberwolves.

After the game started, both sides felt average on the offensive end.

The Mavericks scored first, but then Curry also scored inside throws.

"Actually, when we faced most of the strong teams, we didn't show a significant gap." Zhang Sixin said.

"However, young people still need to grow in their ability to grasp the game at critical moments. There is no way to improve this quickly. We can only help them maintain their confidence and then play more games to adapt."

"Young people's defense is still improving very quickly, and the loss is only temporary." Ron Adams said.

Tyronn Lue interjected: "I have a deep understanding of this. I can clearly see the growth of young players, not just defensively, they are full of talent."

With the starting lineup of the Mavericks, Kidd and Dampier lacked scoring ability. Under the serious defense of the Timberwolves, the two teams did not open the score at all in the first quarter.

When Terry came up, the Mavericks were more aggressive offensively, but the three-pointer was still not allowed.

On the Timberwolves side, the situation is similar, and no one on the offensive end can shine.

It still hasn't opened. After losing the first few games, the young people's confidence has weakened a little.

With Jefferson not here, Zhang Sixin can also know more clearly what this buddy is doing now.

When it couldn't be opened before, it can be opened to let Jefferson play in the low post.

However, Jefferson's singles ability is also ineffective.

Zhang Sixin feels that the team still needs to cultivate a few players with singles ability.

The outside core, the inside core, and the sixth man of the team must all have the ability to play with the ball.

It's not a big problem if the young people of the team guide them well.

I just don't know how long it will take to grow before the effect will be obvious.

After Matthews and Frye started, another problem appeared, that is, the lack of firepower in the rotation lineup.

The Mavericks have Terry, a powerful sixth man, and the Timberwolves really don't have such a character now.

In the previous games, the firepower of the rotation lineup was mainly supported by Frye, Matthews and Belinelli.

This time, it is really a bit stretched.

Zhang Sixin reckoned that the situation would be better when Le Fu came back.

Although the team did not have a sixth-man figure at that time, the overall firepower would be much better.

In fact, Mills has some characteristics of a sixth man, but it is a pity that it is not easy to cultivate, and his strength is also a bit weak.

The improvement of the team lineup has been difficult this season, at least until next season.

In the second quarter, when Terry, Nowitzki and Marion were on the court at the same time, the Mavericks finally broke out and took the lead.

Before that, the two teams may have tied more than ten times.

"Stephen, you still have to play confidently." Zhang Sixin sighed.

"However, he is still too young to be too demanding."

"Zhang, if you have any request, I will tell him well." Dell Curry said.

Now that Curry has a high tactical status in the Timberwolves and his reputation is gradually rising, his family's attitude towards playing for the Timberwolves has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Zhang Sixin laughed and said: "I will also discuss this with him more, but we can't act too hastily. Stephen's body is still a little thinner. I am worried that he will be injured."

"He needs a little more attention, especially around the ankle."

Dell Curry nodded. Unlike himself, Curry is not a pure shooter. He also hits the ball a lot. He really needs to be more careful.

The team fell behind, but Zhang Sixin also saw the hard work of the young players.

The team's defense is indeed getting better and better. The young players have just come out of the college team. They are not opposed to emphasizing discipline and defense, and their execution is very strong.

The Mavericks were defended by the Timberwolves and only scored 42 points in the half, which was quite miserable.

It's just that the Timberwolves were even worse. Zhang Sixin felt that he had to find a way in the second half.
