Grab Curry at the start
Chapter 121
Chapter 121
In the final quarter, the Thunder became the main force earlier. In addition to Durant, Westbrook also went crazy.
But instead of scoring, Westbrook made consecutive breakthroughs and sent assists.
The Timberwolves were about to open the score by relying on Matthews' three-pointer and Jefferson's 2+1, but they were pulled back by Durant and Westbrook in the middle of the final quarter.
Westbrook is completely charged at this time, and the lack of ability to protect the frame on the inside line at this time gave the Thunder a chance.
Westbrook rushed to the basket twice to make a strong move and then gave the ball to Kostic. The Serbian is also considered a technical insider. Although his strength has declined after the injury, the space at the basket is still very stable.
The Thunder played two games like this, and they were about to overtake the score. Curry just made a three-pointer.
This ball also brought the Thunder's momentum to an abrupt end. In many cases, the murderous offense made the opponent more flustered than the tight defense.
On the court, mentality has a great influence on players. After all, as long as the shooting action is deformed a little, the result of the shot will be different.
Only players with a big heart can show their strength at critical moments.
And all players will actually be affected by mentality, it's just a matter of how much.
In the next 2 minutes, neither team scored.
Later, it was Durant who broke the deadlock. When the Thunder couldn't score, they could only let Durant play, and Durant was really good.
But his scoring may have stimulated Curry, and he came back and made a sudden turn and shot on the move.
At the last moment today, the Timberwolves are just a little ahead, which makes the Thunder very helpless.
And Durant has been flanked by two people, it is not easy to find another chance to make a move.
Westbrook did have some chances, but he really didn't dare to shoot from the outside.
Westbrook didn't have the recklessness of his peak at this time. He dared to throw it if he was sure. Now that the Timberwolves are on the three-point line, he hesitated, and then rushed in with the ball.
"That's the defense. It's better not to let Durant catch the ball, and not let them shoot three-pointers." Zhang Sixin commented casually on the team's defense.
He is really satisfied now. Not long after he finished speaking, Green made a shot from outside the three-point line.
But then Curry also made some mistakes, and Green seized the opportunity to counterattack.
The Thunder were about to see hope, but then Curry hit again and made up for it.
At this time, the game came to the last minute. The Thunder wanted to find a three-point opportunity to catch up with the score, but they never found it.
Durant didn't have a chance to make a strong shot with the ball. He tried his best and only got two free throws.
But the score gap between the two sides was still 5 points, and the Timberwolves began to control the time again.
The Thunder can only choose foul tactics, and then play five players who can shoot three-pointers.
Durant was so guarded that he had no chance to catch the ball, and Jeff Green had the advantage to make a shot, but unfortunately he still missed.
So this game was won by the Timberwolves again.
Every victory against Western Conference rivals will make things easier for the Timberwolves.
After back-to-back, the two-day adjustment period is also critical.
The Timberwolves just can't let the players get tired now, and there must be no more injuries before the playoffs.
After observation, Milicic has no problem and can come back immediately, and Zhang Sixin is also relieved.
If there is one less insider in the playoffs, it is really impossible to play.
After back-to-back, the Timberwolves can relax at home again, against the Warriors who Ellis will not play.
The Warriors only want to sign now, which should be easier to deal with.
At the beginning of the game, Curry and Love scored easily and freehand, and Zhang Sixin also wanted Milicic to complete the task.
Unexpectedly, there was a little trouble during the period, that is, the short insider Anthony Toliver of the Warriors kept hitting the outside line and felt hot.
This buddy is a second-year undrafted pick. The Timberwolves didn't pay attention at all, and something went wrong.
Of course, as long as the Timberwolves play hard, the Warriors are nothing.
It's just that Milicic didn't seize the opportunity and missed the three-pointer.
The Warriors' offensive end is good, and Zhang Sixin is also worried about capsizing in the gutter, so he can only ignore it.
In the second half, the team increased its intensity and took down the Warriors first.
Two days after taking the Warriors lightly, the Timberwolves played against the visiting Lakers at home.
The Lakers are already adjusting the lineup because of their good record, and Kobe is also recuperating due to minor injuries to ensure the playoffs.
Zhang Sixin felt that this was an opportunity to win the Lakers while Kobe was away.
Although it has no effect on the Lakers' ranking, it is still good for the Timberwolves.
After all, they will have to consider rest for the next back-to-back, and the back-to-back before the playoffs, the main players can't play at all.
But if the record is not good, it will indeed be a little embarrassing.
The Lakers are not only missing Kobe Bryant, Bynum is still recovering from his injuries, the main attack of this Lakers can only be Pau Gasol.
The other is Odom and Artest, which are much worse than the complete Lakers.
However, without Kobe, the Lakers have a lot of offensive lineups.
But the offensive end has also weakened a lot, so the current Lakers still pay more attention to defense.
After all, it is the defending champion, and the players on the team also need to prove themselves. It doesn't mean that Kobe will become an underdog if he doesn't play them.
While other strengths are not there, Gasol has also proved his All-Star level strength.
On the offensive end, he can support and play low.
On the defensive end, he can protect rebounds and also has the ability to assist defense.
Pau Gasol is indeed a more comprehensive offensive and defensive type among inside players. Although these aspects are not top-notch, there are no obvious shortcomings. He is a very good helper for superstars.
He was in the Lakers, and he actually gave up some data because of tactical requirements.
When he helps the team a lot, it is also a more suitable model for him. After all, he still cannot help the team become good enough when he is the boss.
At the beginning of the game, Curry was relatively strong, but this Love didn't feel very good.
Although Love is an insider, he will shoot from the outside a lot of the time, so the touch is also very important.
On the contrary, Jefferson and Milicic both played well. Gasol's lack of strength to defend the inside alone is a relatively obvious deficiency. It is still difficult to support the inside alone. After all, Odom is not very reliable in this regard.
When the main lineup is in, the situation of both sides is similar.
But when the rotation lineup was on the court, the Timberwolves unexpectedly lost to the Lakers.
Farmar unexpectedly performed well today. Not only did he score, but he also passed a lot of good goals.
Zhang Sixin is also careless, because Kobe is not there, and the Timberwolves have a relatively large rotation. I didn't expect that the team's three-pointer is Curry's best, and everyone else is not very reliable today.
As a result, the Lakers, relying on their steady performance and Gasol's outstanding performance, even led the Timberwolves in the first half.
Zhang Sixin didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He couldn't handle the Lakers without Kobe, so he was careless.
