Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 66 Doubt
The insiders of the Warriors are all relatively light in weight, able to run and jump, and relatively lacking in strength.

The Timberwolves have slowed down their tempo. They can't do anything inside. The Timberwolves are not like Frye. The three of their insiders are all relatively powerful types.

The Warriors also want to bring the rhythm up, but they can't grab the rebounds.

"It's rare for us to fight like this..." Zhang Sixin couldn't help laughing.

Love can even take advantage of the low position, and it is estimated that there are only unlucky teams like the Warriors.

In fact, the Timberwolves slow down the pace, and the offensive end cannot be particularly efficient.

However, it is not efficient for them to defend the Warriors in this way.

To win the game, you can score more than your opponent, or you can suppress your opponent to score less than yourself.

Zhang Sixin will not put a label on the team, whether it is an offensive team or a defensive team. If he insists on giving the Timberwolves a position, he hopes to be a team that pursues victory.

Competitive sports should pursue victory, what looks good is just a cover for the loser.

In the third quarter, Ellis and Maggette completely misfired, but Randolph hit a few balls.

Anthony Randolph is actually a young player with good physical talent, but unfortunately he didn't play out due to injuries and other reasons.

There are many such players in the NBA. They don't have enough opportunities, and they don't do their best, which leads to a waste of talent and eventually disappears from everyone.

After all, the players who can be on the big stage of the NBA are not ordinary people.

When the offensive end cannot be opened, the Warriors continue to rotate.

But after Radmanovich and Watson and others played, they still didn't perform.

The Warriors under Don Nelson have become accustomed to a certain rhythm, and suddenly they will not be able to play when it is slow.

Don Nelson is an amazing coach. He is considered an excellent tactical master and innovator. He often takes the lead in using novel tactics, such as ball-holding small forwards, shark-cutting tactics, and pulling big men to the outside to shoot three-pointers and so on.

He's the NBA's unique mad scientist, but he's never been able to win a championship.

He should love basketball very much, but not obsessed with winning.

There will always be something different in professional sports, and they will be liked by a lot of people.

However, Zhang Sixin is a different kind of person.

He also likes various tactics, but it's all about winning.

If one tactic can win a championship, he'll keep using it.

Entering the final quarter, the scores of the two teams were almost the same.

In the second half, the Timberwolves' main lineup had an absolute advantage, but the substitute lineup did not seize the opportunity to open the score.

The Timberwolves' bench lineup is actually not very suitable for a slow-paced style of play.

Therefore, the suspense of the score remained.

After the main lineups of both sides played again, the Warriors gradually adapted a little.

They no longer have to play fast, or drive to the rim.

The Warriors began to try the mid-range offense of positional warfare. Although the efficiency is still very average, it is much better than the chaos in the third quarter.

It's just that defensively, they still haven't made any targets for the Timberwolves' inside offense.

It's no wonder that the league's defense ranks last. Opponents will like their attitude of letting you play at will.

Jefferson and Love did not disappoint the opponent's defense, and they hit successively on the field.

In this way, the weak side in the first half has now become the leading side.

"If they didn't play like this every season, I would have thought they were playing badly on purpose." Zhang Sixin laughed.

"The effect is similar." Dell Curry said with disgust.

This kind of team with no desire to win is scary to think about.

He didn't know that if Zhang Sixin hadn't appeared, his family would have become fans of this team.

Just after half a quarter, Matthews received a pass from Curry and hit a three-pointer from the corner, and the Timberwolves also led by more than 5 points.

Under the slow pace, it is difficult for the score to change quickly.

Most of the Timberwolves' current scores are chipped back by the two insiders.

On the Warriors' side, they found that the middle distance was still unreliable, and they were attacking the inside again.

The main reason is that the two core players are not very reliable and their shooting is not very stable.

So, they can only rely on Maggette's muscles.

Maggette, a young man from the Timberwolves, really couldn't stand it. Matthews was killed in a row, and he committed six offenses.

Fortunately, Brewer is the same up, no problem defensively.

Relying on Maggette's free throw, the Warriors supported for a while.

But they haven't improved defensively, and it doesn't really mean much to score a little bit of hard work.

After coming back and being hit by the Timberwolves, the score gap between the two sides basically remained the same.

In the last 2 minutes, the Warriors finally began to help defend the inside, forcing the Timberwolves to fight them outside.

But it's a bit late, and their perimeter efficiency is not high.

After Ellis hit, DeRozan also hit.

The point is, the Warriors lost backcourt rebounds again.

Love and Jefferson grabbed offensive rebounds and scored successively, directly killing the suspense of the game.

Looking at the insiders with two large double-doubles, Zhang Sixin couldn't help but laugh.

The two insiders with no height and no explosive power played like twin towers under the defense of the Warriors.

The Warriors finally struggled with foul tactics, but the Timberwolves had no problem with free throws. They still won the home victory by relying on their performance in the second half.

At this time, the All-Star Voting released the data for the third time, and several players of the Timberwolves were in the limelight again.

In terms of the number of votes for Western guards, Curry surpassed Nash and Paul, second only to Kobe, and became the second in the Western Conference.

On the front line, Love also surpassed Duncan and Nowitzki to become No.2, with only Anthony in front.

Jefferson finally passed Bynum, and there was only Stoudemire in front of him.

The players in the three positions all became the players with the second most votes in the West, and the American media went crazy.

Are Curry, Love and Jefferson at this level?Do the Timberwolves qualify?

According to the current votes, Jefferson is okay, there is only one spot for the center position, but Curry and Love are about to enter the All-Star starting lineup.

Obviously there are many better players in the league than them, which is not fair.

When the All-Star votes were announced last time, many people were discussing this issue. At that time, the Timberwolves were crusaded, but they were only one of the crusades. At that time, the Rockets were on the cusp.

After all, since Dayao entered the NBA, the votes of Chinese fans have always made many American fans unhappy.

Now that the Timberwolves have completely emerged, they immediately replaced the Rockets as the main target of the crusade. After all, after the Rockets Yao Mai was injured, the others, although they had more votes, could not be ranked at the top. The All-Stars must have no chance.

The few Timberwolves players who got more votes were very happy, but they were also a little worried in the face of crazy questions from the media, especially the young people.
