Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 155
The Lakers are not just on the road, and their luck is not very good.

When Kobe played hard to chase points, Odom committed six offenses.

Very obvious foul, he reached out to Milicic inside.

The Timberwolves' inside advantage is really helpless for the Lakers. As long as they don't play against Gasol, the Timberwolves can bully people on several inside lines.

Now it is actually possible to let Bynum come up, but the team fell behind, and the Lakers still chose a small lineup and played Shannon Brown.

But now the other point of attack is to squat in the three-point position, and the Lakers are not playing any tactics. It is Kobe playing with the ball, and at most Gasol will try it.

Artest can top the fourth position, but he is not a real insider after all.

The Lakers' decision is actually a more risky play.

At the Timberwolves' home court, they have been taking risks. To be honest, Zhang Sixin doesn't understand.

But it may also be because the third game is the game that the Timberwolves have the best chance to win, so the Lakers came to some tricks, winning if they can win, and it is also a temptation to not win.

The Lakers' small lineup still had a three-point chance, but Artest didn't hit it.

The Lakers have three points, but this is not their strongest weapon. Playing this at a critical moment will certainly not be the safest choice.

But then Gasol got a chance to free throws, but unfortunately the decline in physical strength only made one of two free throws.

"At this time, we are not only defending, but also stabilizing the offensive end." Zhang Sixin said.

On the court, Love received the ball from Curry and made a layup with Artest.

Zhang Sixin waved his fist, Love found the touch in the second half, and the Timberwolves were much more stable.

The Timberwolves' inside line is not without strength, the type that the third position can easily resist.

But the Lakers' gamble was not without any gains. Artest still hit a three-pointer under pressure.

It's a pity that the Timberwolves soon responded, and Curry made a hit against the defense.

Lao Yu is actually a heavy guard, and it is indeed difficult to defend against Curry.

At this time, the Lakers also pick and roll and then attack first. Love will have a chance before, but he can't do it in time without the ball, and Curry is good at grasping the defensive gap, which is similar to what he did in college.

Encountering a pincer on the outside is not like when the striker is rushing in, the physical contact is not so good, sometimes it is really similar to the game in Curry's school.

Lakers coach Jackson couldn't help reminding the players on the sidelines that Curry must not let him make another shot.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, it was mainly Kobe's attack.

Kobe is now hitting half of the iron goals, of course, the attempt outside the three-point line is all iron.

Because of this situation, the Lakers have not narrowed the score gap to less than 5 points.

The inside offense of the Timberwolves is quite stable at this time, probably similar to Kobe.

The Timberwolves are on the court with four three-pointers most of the time, and the Lakers' defense is really not easy to shrink at will.

At this time, Love, who can play both inside and outside, is more critical. Originally, he could not play very well against the inside of the Twin Towers. In this game, the Lakers gave up an inside, and Love naturally played much more comfortably.

When the time came to the last 2 minutes, the Lakers began to go all out to shoot three-pointers.

The result was ironic. The Lakers must not be as proficient as the Timberwolves in this matter beyond the three-point line. The same is true for defensive three-pointers. The Lakers' current tactics are actually based on luck.

So time passed, and the Timberwolves were rock solid.

In the Target Center arena, the fans cheered constantly, they were finally able to beat the Lakers.

In the end, the Lakers still struggled with foul tactics, and their attitude of wanting to win was still obvious.

However, with Fisher's last three-point attempt, the game came to an end.

After returning home, the Timberwolves finally won their first victory in the Western Conference Finals.

Kobe said after the game: "We are not a very good three-pointer team, and facing their defense, sometimes our offensive rhythm is too slow. If we can perform well in the first 17 seconds of each round, we can do better."

"There is no doubt that to beat them we have to control those stupid mistakes in the future games."

Love, whose performance in this game has recovered, said: "We just want to play aggressive. Coach Zhang told me that my contribution should never be questioned, and I will give [-]% effort every night. I feel more responsibility. This is a game that must be won."

Lakers coach Jackson didn't say much, but he was very relaxed.

"They won the game and we were a little bit underprepared against them defensively."

This may be a bit of a joke, implying that the Timberwolves have too much physical contact at home.

Zhang Sixin directly expressed his happiness, "I saw the hard work and progress of the players. We played better every game than before, and then we won. I like the attitude of these guys on the team. They will never back down. They hope to get better. They chase after victory... These qualities are actually better than winning the game."

"The team is very tough on both ends of the offense and defense today. In order to win, we try to take any method, no matter what the method is, as long as it can help us win. Some people may sneer at our way of playing, but we still play as we want."

Zhang Sixin likes winning basketball, which he doesn't mind letting people know.

Of course, his methods are all within the rules of competition, and he also disdains coaches who use off-field tactics.

But he also disdains coaches who flaunt the art of basketball.

After winning a game at home, the public opinion of the outside world finally improved.

But there are more people hacking them, this is the traffic brought by the Lakers.

As for the Timberwolves, because Bynum made too many fouls, winning is indeed not that convincing.

Of course, it mainly depends on which side the fans support. If they don't support them, no matter how beautifully they win, Heizi can find many faults.

For the Timberwolves, this game is still very confident.

In only two days, there will be a second home game.

The game is fierce, and the core players play a lot of time, so even at home, the team will not conduct too complicated training.

When the players were resting, Zhang Sixin studied the video with the coaching staff.

How to lose when you lose and how to win when you win, as a head coach, you must be clear.

Don't make similar mistakes, the tactics that can help the team win must be done better.

"The next game will definitely be more difficult. The effect of creating damage is rare. We must be prepared to fight tough battles. However, restricting the Lakers will not change what we have to do."

"I hope the players can perform better..."
