Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 101 The advantages and disadvantages are obvious

The Rockets got off to a surprisingly good start, and Scola made Love uncomfortable.

The key is that at the beginning of the game, the Rockets felt good in the first few starts. Curry had an obvious advantage over Brooks and failed to take the lead.

"The Rockets lineup has obvious advantages and disadvantages. We can't let them play comfortably." Zhang Sixin said.

In fact, he made the team pay attention to the Rockets' three-pointers from the beginning. The opponent's three-pointers were not played in the first quarter, but the inside cut and mid-range were very efficient.

Rockets coach Rick Adelman still has something, especially during the regular season.

His set is more suitable for characteristic civilian teams, just like Zen Master's set is only suitable for teams with superstars.

Coaches like them who focus on a set of tactics must select players suitable for the tactics.

After Zhang Sixin called a timeout to remind the players, the Timberwolves' defense improved a lot.

They did not continue to focus more on the opponent's three-pointers, but the overall defense has improved.

On the offensive end, the Timberwolves have not felt the outside line except Curry, but Milicic is already bullying the Rockets' inside line.

When he held high and played high, Hayes at the fifth position of the Rockets could only foul.

Hayes can rely on strength to withstand the tall center, but the weakness of height cannot be changed.

Scola is also not tall enough, and the athletic ability of the two insiders is not enough, which leads to the fact that the Rockets' insiders basically have no frame protection.

The Timberwolves did not deliberately pursue outside shots this time, and they went in many times.

Especially when Milicic is resting, Love mentioned the high position, and the flanks with excellent physical fitness can hit the Rockets' inside line.

Looking at it this way, it seems that the Timberwolves are also playing Princeton.

Needless to say, Le Fu is really suitable for this set.

Originally, in history, Love also let Adelman guide him for several years, and the statistics are very beautiful.

It's a pity that injuries still continue, and the team's performance cannot be guaranteed.

Later, Love went to assist the little emperor. Although the data dropped a bit, he won the championship and high salary, which is not a loss. Anyway, Minnesota and Cleveland are both rural places.

When the team took Love as the core of their tactics, Love was finally not as miserable as the beginning of the game.

In fact, he played smarter, and Scola couldn't guard against him.

In the front, he underestimated the enemy. In fact, it is not easy for him to beat Scola. Although Scola is a floor player, he is physically stronger.

Of course, Love can only bully some weak chickens inside.

The rotation lineup, the Timberwolves must be stronger, but they didn't fully play out in the first half.

Without Jefferson, the team's combat effectiveness still declined, and there were some problems with the rotation.

This is because Zhang Sixin didn't think carefully and didn't give the team more inside substitutes.

There is no way this season. If they want to change, the Timberwolves can only get more big men in summer.

So by the end of the first half, the Rockets were still in the lead by virtue of their advantage in the first quarter.

The Rockets are now in the playoff stage, and they will fight every game. If the Timberwolves want to win the game, they must not hope that there will be problems with the opponent. They must play more proactively.

During the intermission, Zhang Sixin adjusted his defense against Scola. The Rockets' current weak inside line must not allow them to play comfortably.

In addition, the opponent has already fouled a lot inside. They want to turn their advantage into a winning situation, and then attack again, so that no one can use the Rockets inside.

The Rockets also made adjustments in the third quarter, and they suddenly increased their three-pointers.

As soon as the second half came up, Brooks sneaked one.

This is also the characteristic of Brooks, who is very daring and has a big heart.

It's a pity that the weak link is too obvious, and you can only become a firefighter if you can score.

Height is very important in professional basketball. If you are not tall enough, you must be strong, otherwise it will be difficult to mix.

The Rockets realized that they would not be able to do it inside, but the Timberwolves' tactics remained unchanged.

They still got Hayes down quickly, and Scola also played much harder.

In fact, the Timberwolves are willing to see if Brooks is the main attacker. After all, this small guard is a bit high and his efficiency will not be very high.

In fact, it is, but the Rockets' current top card Martin is still efficient.

Kevin Martin, as a quasi-All-Star player, is very good on the offensive end, that is, his defense is too poor.

But the Rockets' ball was in the hands of Brooks, and Martin was more efficient but didn't get more opportunities.

For a player of Martin's level, the new Rockets still can't hold back the field.

Of course, the Rockets don't score many points now, and several major scoring points are relatively tightly defended.

The Timberwolves' defense will definitely guide the Rockets to make shots from less stable points.

During the rotation period in the second half, the Rockets' advantage became more obvious.

Both Brewer and Frye performed well. The Rockets' previous sixth man Randall has been distributed in the deal with McGrady, and their rotation lineup has lost a lot of scoring ability.

After a wave, the Timberwolves caught up with the score.

As long as the Timberwolves get the feel of the team, chasing points is really easy.

In the same way, the defense is solid, the offense is excellent, and sometimes it is easy to open the score.

It's just that the team was not that strong in the first half of the season, so there were still relatively few time to clock in and leave work early.

Of course, their offensive and defensive ends are not particularly stable.

Young teams have their strengths and weaknesses, which Zhang Sixin understands very well.

There was a problem with scoring, and the Rockets simply didn't let Hayes play at the end of the quarter, and they couldn't help it anyway.

The young player Hill is also not good, and he is full of fouls for a few minutes.

Just let Jeffries and Budinger take turns, the Rockets still pay more attention to offense.

But no matter what, the Rockets are still very weak inside.

Especially after both sides have switched to the main lineup, this feeling is even more obvious.

In the last half of the quarter, Milicic scored from the basket, and Love finally forced Scola's foul.

Love also roared excitedly. He thought that Scola would not be difficult to fight, but it turned out that it was not so easy, so he finally let out his breath now.

After all, he is a little fat man, so his body still has an advantage.

After hitting the free throw, the Timberwolves took the lead firmly.

At this time, the Rockets were also a little anxious, and began to make various three-pointers.

The opponent grabs a three-pointer, but in fact, there is no such delicate tactical coordination at the beginning of the game.

Therefore, it is nothing to play well in tactics when the wind is down, the key is whether you can perform well under pressure.

Obviously the current Rockets are not good, but Love is getting more and more courageous in the interior.

Because Scola has fouled five times, and Jeffries can't resist him.

However, the game did not end so smoothly.

Martin seized his strength on the offensive end, scored 5 points in a row and caught up with the score.

On the basketball court, you can never underestimate your opponent.
