Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 43
The Timberwolves' defense tried their best to prevent Turkoglu from receiving the ball.

Very successful, the ball reaches Jack's hands.

Maybe the Raptors' tactic was to let Turkoglu handle the ball, so Jack paused after getting the ball.

It also made the clock tighter. Bosh reached for the ball near the free throw line. Jack took a look and saw that Bosh was entangled with Love and was not so good.

He simply didn't care about anyone, he dribbled a few times, and started directly on the three-point line.

Jack is also a player with a big heart, and he has the buff to kill the team's starting guard.

Every time he went to a team in his career, the team's starting guard would have an accident, and then he could become the starter.

But his characteristics are actually a bit like a sixth person, and he is more aggressive, but the choice is not very easy to say.

He obviously played well relying on breakthroughs before, but in the end he chose to face the defense with a three-pointer.

Then the iron was struck, the game was over, and the Timberwolves took a thrilling away victory.

Zhang Sixin jumped up excitedly when he saw the whistle sounded at the end of the game.

In fact, winning or losing the game is not that important, it's just an ordinary regular season, but the last moment of this game was really fucked up, it's really cool to win, and the previous depression was swept away.

At this time in the West, the Lakers are thriving.

The records of the Spurs, Trail Blazers, and Jazz have declined, and the Timberwolves are in the second group in the West with the Nuggets, Mavericks, and Suns.

In this situation, one is the beginning of injuries, and the other is that during this period of time, the strong teams in the West are fighting each other, and the record fluctuates greatly.

As a result, the Timberwolves' record in the new season is like riding a roller coaster. The top four in the West went to the bottom, and then bounced back to the top eight in the West, and the top four in the West soon.

Of course, the current record is still uncountable, and the clues will not be seen until the All-Star Weekend.

However, Zhang Sixin was quite satisfied. Thinking about it carefully, although he lost some in close matches, he still won more. Good luck did not abandon him after all.

After winning the not easy away game, the Timberwolves will return to play back to back at home.

It is the Hornets that we fought not long ago, and everyone is quite familiar with it.

"Do you still remember our defensive strategy, play well, we are now one of the strong teams in the Western Conference." Zhang Sixin encouraged the players.

After a wave of five consecutive victories, the Timberwolves can indeed be a little proud.

The Hornets are actually making efforts, mainly because Paul's physical condition has begun to improve.

A good guard can really drive a team. Paul is one of the few stars in the league who can guarantee the team's lower limit, so even if his resume in the playoffs is not very good, he can be ranked first among active players.

If a team wants someone to make the playoffs, Paul is a good choice.

This aspect is the point guard advantage, and both Nash and Kidd have done it.

If players in other positions also perform like this, it must be organizational skills, such as James.

If it is a pure offensive or pure defensive star, the lower limit of leading the team is still not so stable.

Zhang Sixin wanted to use the same trick to deal with the Hornets, but the Hornets were not NPCs, so they were also trying to figure out a way.

They were defended by the Timberwolves in the final battle of the game, so they tried to speed up this time.

With Paul's ability, it is actually possible to lead the team to speed up.

But he is not the best at this aspect, and the Hornets players are not very suitable for speed.

In any case, the Hornets still speeded up a lot in the first quarter.

At least it can be guaranteed that if the Timberwolves want to lock up other players and sever the connection between them and Paul, they will not be able to do so for the time being.

In this case, Curry played handy, with three-pointers and assists.

In Paul's words, he was still distributing the ball more, but he was obviously not used to it, and made two mistakes.

After all, Paul was not a god, and his stability also had prerequisites.

But when Paul didn't fully play well, the Hornets and Timberwolves played against each other.

Because Stojakovic broke out, it may be that he dreamed of returning to the king, experienced the peak moment, and was advancing quickly, raising his hand for a three-pointer.

It's just that this buddy tends to pull his hips at critical moments, otherwise this three-pointer is really scary.

In the case of speeding up, the other players of the Hornets did not adapt so well.

West is a bit useless, he must play pick and roll with Paul in order to play.

Brown is also a bit out of position, unlike the Timberwolves. In addition to Curry, DeRozan, Matthews, and Love all played well. Occasionally, when the speed is not raised, they can also give Jefferson a low position.

However, the Hornets responded quickly and replaced Thornton in the half quarter.

Thornton is also a master of chaos. When the Hornets' rhythm is a bit chaotic, he comes up like a duck to water.

In the case of speeding up, he played more conspicuously than Paul, scoring various points.

Therefore, it is obviously the rhythm that the Timberwolves prefer, but the two teams still played inextricably.

It is because the Hornets Stojakovic and Thornton also like this rhythm very much, and they can continue to score.

But during the rotation period, the Hornets can't handle it.

Even if Paul is a little uncomfortable with speeding up, he can still handle it. Collison doesn't have that ability.

And the speed has been increasing, the Hornets players can't stand it a bit, the two of them are not particularly able to run inside, especially Okafor, it is completely useless.

And Stojakovic's legs are also old, and he was very excited at the beginning. After running for a long time, he is not as good as a young man.

On the Hornets' bench, that is, Thornton had a good time, but the others couldn't.

For the Timberwolves, Brewer, Frye, and Milicic are all worthy, and Mills can actually play, anyway, it is not worse than the ground.

After the Timberwolves were fully running, Milicic completed dunks several times.

The Hornets saw that it was impossible to play like this, they couldn't handle it at all.

So, after their main force came back, Paul and West played pick-and-roll honestly.

The pace has slowed down. Curry may have been affected a little by the Timberwolves, but it has little effect on others. The Timberwolves can be fast or slow.

After Love and Jefferson hit one after another, the Timberwolves finally stabilized their lead in the first half.

On the defensive end, they can force Paul to play by himself, but Paul's touch today is just average.

"Today's rhythm change can clearly see the growth of the players." Zhang Sixin said with relief.

"The young people on the team are basically in good physical condition, and they dare to fight hard." Ron Adams praised.

"Their shots are still not fully utilized." Dell Curry Versailles said.

"It was Zhang who showed their characteristics. Other teams dare not use young people like this." Tyronn Lue said sincerely.

For a moment, Zhang Sixin couldn't tell whether Tyronn Lu was flattering or really sighing.

But he felt that Tyronn Lue is really a good person, why don't you add to the burden on his shoulders.
