Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 61 War Magic
"Wonderful!"

Curry scored a three-pointer in the third quarter, and Zhang Sixin applauded without hesitation.

Facing the Magic, you can't just bully the [-]th position. Nelson doesn't hit hard at this point, so what kind of coach is he?

A short offensive guard with too obvious weaknesses, it is actually difficult to play. The Magic really loves Nelson.

In the second half, the Magic also enriched their tactics in the face of the Timberwolves' strict defense of the three-point line.

It is also a common routine in the alliance to kill from the flanks.

But now Carter is really no longer at his peak, and in this respect he is not as good as the cheap Barnes.

Carter has a long career, but his peak period is not long enough. His strength has dropped significantly when he was in the Nets.

When he came to the Magic, he lost the style of the All-Star period. His various non-human dunks are basically invisible, and his outside shots are not very stable.

He has been shooting from the outside all the time now, which is more in line with the Magic's tactics.

But if Carter can only achieve this level, the Magic will definitely not want to spend that money. After all, there are much cheaper players who can do it.

"The execution of the players is very good. We are only a small step away from a real strong team." Zhang Sixin sighed.

"Actually, we are already considered a strong team." Ron Adams said sincerely.

"Experience issues, the players will solve them sooner or later, and detail issues, in fact, every team will have them. Zhang, you have done really well."

"It's not just me. We are a very good team." Zhang Sixin said modestly.

The Timberwolves have rebuilt from the team to the management, which gave Zhang Sixin the greatest freedom.

Now that the team is getting more and more attention, owner Glenn Taylor also trusts Zhang Sixin more.

Standard capitalists, as long as the projects under their hands have good returns, they will show generosity.

In the third quarter, the Magic's outside shooting was relatively restricted, but they still rarely gave the ball to the inside.

Howard is probably the one with the least possession of the ball among all the core players in the league.

Given his reputation, it's really hard to imagine.

In this case, there will naturally be nothing during the honeymoon period between the players and the team, but once there is a conflict, the two parties will definitely break up.

Amidst the banging of irons on the outside of the Magic, the Timberwolves caught up with the score.

Zhang Sixin is a very kind coach, but in terms of team tactics, he will never allow players to mess around.

Therefore, although the Timberwolves are a young team, they generally do not fluctuate too drastically in the game.

The situation was wrong, and the Magic took the lead in entering the rotation.

Things have improved for them with the replacement of a seasoned defender.

After the Timberwolves also entered the rotation, Zhang Sixin found that the problem had arisen again.

In fact, their substitute players played better in the second half, Belinelli and Brewer both performed.

However, the Magic's White Chocolate and Anderson are in great shape.

The main force of the Timberwolves used a little bit of defense to get back the score, and was taken by the Magic again during the rotation period.

In this game, Milicic is not very useful, but he has problems with the team's defense if he does not play.

What the Timberwolves are now exposed is the initial problem. Offensive players can only attack, and defensive players can only defend. No matter what lineup there is a weak link.

The situation on the bench is even more obvious. Belinelli and Frye are on the offensive side, and Brewer and Milicic are on the defensive side. It is no problem to meet ordinary opponents, but they will be in a weak position when they encounter more powerful opponents or their opponents are in a state.

Zhang Sixin has been thinking about how to rotate in order to cover up the weak links of the team as much as possible.

From the beginning of the season to the present, he has also made many attempts.

Now there are several lineups that are good, but they still haven't completely solved the problem.

Zhang Sixin also has no good solution. He can only adjust while playing, hoping that the overall level of the team will continue to rise, so that it will be difficult for opponents to grasp their weaknesses.

At the end of the quarter, Zhang Sixin replaced Curry in just over 7 minutes.

Curry came on the court and announced his return with a three-pointer. It was impossible for the Magic's two guards to guard him.

Curry's state can continue, and Zhang Sixin relaxes a little.

The Magic's current mixed lineup is very strong, and the Timberwolves must have someone stand up.

But at this time, the Magic also consciously consumed Curry on the offensive end.

Curry is not strong enough, and now the entire league knows it.

Popular players, whether young or old, will be remembered by opponents.

Curry's physical problems, the team is also trying to improve.

But there is no rush, because Curry is a shooter, and the team is also worried that he will affect his shooting if he practices too much strength. In addition, he is worried about injuries. This must be done step by step.

Zhang Sixin knows that even if Curry is physically stronger, it will not cause shooting problems. Those muscular men who can't shoot well are more likely to have not spent enough energy, and only a few of them are really lacking in talent.

But Zhang Sixin will not let Curry become stronger quickly, he is mainly worried about the kid getting hurt.

It's best to take it slow. Compared with Curry's shooting, it's not a problem that he is weaker.

Carter misplaced and hit Curry, but that's it.

The Magic's tactics make it not so easy for them to order Curry, and Curry will not pick up every time. With the Magic's style of play, it's not that the opposing players have to consume Curry on the offensive end, just think about it.

But at the end of the quarter, the Magic's defense was also very tight.

The Timberwolves rarely have a chance to counterattack quickly in the transition between offense and defense, and can only rely on the personal ability of the stars to create.

This is the time for players to play, and Zhang Sixin cannot guarantee the result of the game.

Curry has been leading the team to chase points, but it is always a little bit short.

Halfway through the last quarter, Curry stole white chocolate and assisted DeRozan to complete a dunk, before the Timberwolves caught up with the score.

The Magic immediately requested a timeout and replaced all the main players.

They played well from the bench today, but at critical moments they still feel that the main lineup will be safer.

Magic head coach Van Gundy was still a little annoyed. His substitutions were still slow, causing the Timberwolves to catch up with the score.

After the return of all the main players of the Timberwolves, their strength is indeed completely different from that during the rotation period.

After the Magic adjusted the lineup, they played immediately, and Nelson also directly hit a three-pointer from the outside.

This is his trick. He can gain a foothold in the NBA by shooting from the outside.

But Curry is in a good state today. After the Timberwolves attacked Jefferson and missed, Curry completed a steal in defense.

Although Curry is the most famous for three-pointers, in fact, his stealing ability has always been very strong, and he also won the steals king in history.

In the last few minutes, the defense of the two teams has improved again, and it is not easy to score.

Entering the last 4 minutes, the Magic began to let Carter play with the ball.

At this time, Carter finally showed his strength, and it depends on how the Timberwolves respond.
