Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 29 Counterattack
Zhang Sixin remembers that facing the Suns at that time, he won the game because the team attacked.

The Nuggets' team defense is as bad as the Suns', that is, their individual defense is a little better. The Timberwolves still have a lot of opportunities, but the young players are not so stable and did not seize opportunities like last time.

He kept encouraging the players, but under the constant attack of the Nuggets, the Timberwolves' players were completely caught in the opponent's rhythm, and it was difficult to adjust.

"Wait until the intermission, Zhang, the kids won't listen to you at this time." Ron Adams said with experience.

At the end of the first half, Curry hit the buzzer, but the score was still behind by double digits, and the players were a little frustrated.

Many fans who watched the game were also quite disappointed with the Timberwolves' performance.

"The Timberwolves are still the same. Once they hit a strong team, they exposed the essence of the Huskies."

"That Chinese coach is bluffing, the team is not often hanged."

"The owner of the Timberwolves didn't think about winning. He hired a young Chinese coach to act. It's disgusting."

"Fans who believe that the Timberwolves can rise are so naive."

"I bet next month, the Timberwolves will blatantly start to play badly."

"If it's like this, it might as well just be bad. Anyway, there will be no hope in the West."

"Curry still can't do it. He can only shoot outside. It's completely useless at critical moments."

"Trash Timberwolves, a waste of fans' feelings."

In the locker room, Zhang Sixin did not discuss tactics with the players.

In the first half of the game, it was not because of tactics. After the Nuggets got off to a strong start, the Timberwolves couldn't let go.

Seeing the players returning to the locker room, Zhang Sixin smiled and said, "Don't worry about it. Professional players must learn to bear the outcome of the game. The ranking is not determined by a few games in the regular season. What we have to do is to accept and improve."

"How about, let's talk about something else to relax now... You may not know that your head coach can't find girls to date after work, and often doesn't know what to do. Who can introduce me to some good games, good dramas are fine. I think about a lot of things in my head every day, and I'm afraid my hair won't be able to support it if I don't relax."

"That would be miserable, I don't have a girlfriend yet..."

Zhang Sixin successfully diverted the players' attention with some self-deprecating remarks.

A group of young people began to talk about their leisure life, but they were also a little ashamed at the same time.

The head coach has done so much, no time to date, and tried so hard to make them relax, but they didn't do what the head coach asked.

The Nuggets' defense is not good. Opportunities often appear after high pick-and-roll tactics, but they fail to grasp them.

They can clearly grasp it, and they can feel the improvement of shooting during practice.

During the intermission, some players relaxed and temporarily forgot the embarrassment of the first half, and some players secretly vowed to play well in the second half.

In any case, the atmosphere on the Timberwolves side has changed.

Zhang Sixin also hopes that the players will do better in the second half. He is also making various attempts, but he really does not pay too much attention to the outcome of the game.

Now they can't beat the Nuggets, which is relatively normal.

As soon as the second half came up, Love hit two points, and his eyes were much more determined.

When he was away, the team had been a strong team. Could it be that the team can't do it when he comes back?

The head coach trusts him very much, and he doesn't want to just sit on the sidelines and wave the towel.

Then Curry rushed in strongly, causing a foul by Billups.

He is certainly not Billups' opponent in physical confrontation, but he is young and his feet are faster.

There are also DeRozan and Matthews, and their shots have become more decisive.

The Nuggets also quickly sensed that something was wrong, and Anthony and Billups responded quickly.

The two sides came and went, and the third quarter turned out to be an offensive.

Zhang Sixin saw that the player's outside touch was coming, so he decisively replaced Frye, and he could pull out from all five positions to shoot.

This time, the offensive lineup performed well, with both Love and Frye hitting three-pointers.

At least, they did not lose to the Nuggets on the offensive end.

After that, Milicic, Brewer and other players came up and continued the team's offensive state.

"Play well, that's it!" Zhang Sixin encouraged the players loudly.

Although the score did not catch up, but the players need to affirm their progress.

Even if this game is lost, Zhang Sixin will not be sad, he has seen the adjustment ability of the players.

For the Nuggets, George Karl is also satisfied with the performance of the players.

They took the lead smoothly in the first half, but the players actually took it lightly.

The Timberwolves started the third quarter, but the Nuggets reacted immediately after noticing it. They were not attacked by the opponent, showing the strength of a strong team.

During the rotation period, George Karl also involved more rotation players.

The Timberwolves feel the same way, with more rotations on both sides.

However, Brewer, Frye and Milicic broke out in the rotation time and hit consecutively, narrowing the score gap between the two teams to single digits.

At this time, the Nuggets hadn't noticed something was wrong, and they didn't switch to the main force so quickly.

When Curry played on the Timberwolves side and hit two consecutive three-pointers, the score gap between the two teams was directly within 5 points, and the opponent realized that there was a problem.

George Karl couldn't help losing his temper, "The game is not over yet, so give me a little more focus."

The main players of the Nuggets are a bit wronged. Just now, the rotation players did not stand up, so why scold them.

Anthony tried his hand at the three-point line when he came up, but unfortunately he missed.

Turning back, Curry and Milicic cooperated tacitly. Curry then rushed in with a screen and gave Milicic a just-right lob.

There was only one ball gap between the two sides, and the Nuggets became nervous.

When it was the Nuggets' turn to attack, Billups hit Curry back with his strength.

But the Timberwolves did not stop their offense because of the stronger ability of the Nuggets' main lineup. They fully played out their touch in the second half.

And on the defensive end, he is also very desperate, completely sparing no effort.

The fans at the Target Center also regained their spirits, and the cheers became louder and louder.

The Nuggets players finally felt the pressure they should have on the road.

If they were reversed by this group of young brats, they would really lose face.

Anthony and Billups began to take over the game with strong personal abilities, and their insides also performed very strongly. Milicic actively assisted in defense and fouled a lot.

Zhang Sixin looked at the situation on the court, then at the remaining time of the game, and said to Jefferson, "How is it? Have enough rest, I need you to go up and stabilize the situation."
