Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 176
"Kobe only hit one of two free throws, and the Lakers' hope is slim."

"The Lakers continued to play foul tactics, but Curry made two free throws steadily."

It can be said that the Timberwolves' free throws have never dropped the chain, and it is the same this time.

The Lakers had no timeout at this time. Kobe dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt and directly made a three-pointer.

After the game, Zhang Sixin praised the players. He said: "In the locker room, what I tell the players the most is to be more active on the court. We have to control the game at the rhythm we like. We have to pass the ball as before. Today, we did a good job in defense and rebounding."

Lakers coach Jackson said: "We didn't play well enough. The players' training was canceled yesterday, which made them lack organization in the game. We didn't do a good job offensively. Odom and Artest got into foul trouble, which affected our rebounding."

Bryant also said that the Lakers did not devote all their energy, after all, it was only the regular season.

And Love, who scored a large double-double with 28 points and 25 rebounds, said: "We played well today. Facing the Lakers, we are full of fighting spirit. Of course, we are not satisfied. This cannot be said to be revenge, unless we beat them in the playoffs."

The team's current record is mediocre, but they can also win strong teams.

In fact, except for the Rockets game, the Timberwolves did not play badly.

After they killed the Lakers, the public opinion of the outside world has improved a lot. After all, no matter whether the Lakers lineup is neat or not, the title of the defending champion is scary.

Many people are still looking forward to the follow-up of the Timberwolves. They gave fans too much confidence last season.

There are also more and more supporters in Huaguo. Although Jeremy Lin is not from Huaguo, the same skin color can also attract attention. This season, Sun Yue has played a little more time. Many Huaguo people also regard the Timberwolves as the home team.

Now the Rockets just take the lead, and their performance is much worse than that of the Timberwolves.

And after the national team's record in the World Championships was not satisfactory in the summer, many people also hope to see what Zhang Sixin's coaching will look like.

The Basketball Association actually made tentative contact again, but it did not reach the stage of substantive communication.

After all, there was no Dayao in the World Championships in the summer, and the record seems to be understandable.

If Zhang Sixin hadn't appeared, the public opinion would not have been so miserable.

Zhang Sixin has too many demands, so the national team must still depend on the results of next year's Olympic Games.

Now it is easier for the national team to enter the Olympics, and it is enough to win the first place in Asia.

In the future, when we want to look at the results of the World Championships uniformly, there will be no such benefits.

Therefore, in competitive sports, if you do not advance, you will retreat.

But to be honest, the soil for competitive sports in Huaguo is not very good, because the economy has developed too fast, and the competitive sports sector has not kept up with the pace, and it is doomed to be uncomfortable.

Seeing the appeal of some fans, Zhang Sixin just sighed a little.

He is not a god, and it is difficult to bring out any results if he reluctantly accepts the national team. He can only manage the Timberwolves first.

After defeating the Lakers, the Timberwolves played the Kings back-to-back in non-stop away games.

The king's current record is not too bad, but the strength is really weak.

The key is that their head coach and management also have unclear goals. After Evans came back, he didn't want to build a tacit understanding between the two talented young people. Instead, he put Cousins ​​on the bench.

Some head coaches are just stubborn and mentally ill. If Zhang Sixin hadn’t appeared, the Timberwolves would have been harmed by Rambis. He was also a head coach who had a direct conflict with the team’s most promising young man, Love, who made Love play as a substitute for a long time and would only lead the team to lose.

This kind of head coach also thinks that he is quite capable, and there is an illusion that everyone is drunk and I am alone.

Facing the self-defeating martial arts king, the Timberwolves locked Evans directly and let the opponent play whatever they wanted.

How can Evans say, the basket has not improved after a year.

If he doesn't play the No. [-] position now, the Timberwolves' flanks are enough for him to drink a pot.

Compared to playing against the Lakers before, everyone in the Timberwolves felt that the king was in an easy mode.

The main lineup beats the opponent, but the king's performance on the bench is slightly better.

After all, with Cousins ​​and Garcia, the combat effectiveness is good.

It's just that the tactics are too chaotic. Except for Youdry, many of the Kings' players just play by themselves when they get the ball, and they don't have many teammates in their eyes.

Obviously young people should listen to their coaches more, but some coaches just don't know how to teach well.

Therefore, many players cannot go to suitable players, and they may be destroyed without great perseverance.

After being overtaken by a little points during the rotation period, the Timberwolves' main force came on the field and slammed their opponents again.

Compared with last season, the difference in strength between the Timberwolves' main force and the substitute is indeed somewhat obvious.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Sixin is willing to give a lot of opportunities to the substitute players. The rookies in the team are also grateful and ashamed. After communicating well, everyone is working very hard.

This is how the good atmosphere of the team is laid.

However, if the team's record is improved, the team will be full of laughter.

In the first half, the Timberwolves led by double digits.

In the third quarter, Udri and Casspi performed well in the backcourt of the Kings, helping the team struggle a little.

But when the Timberwolves increased their defensive strength in the last quarter, Curry and Love took the game away.

"I couldn't find the rhythm at all. It was hard to get out of the foul trouble and get the feeling again," Evans said after the game. "Their defense did a good job, which forced me to pass more."

The head coach of the Kings also said helplessly: "Obviously, there is nothing we can do against the Timberwolves tonight."

The Timberwolves finally returned home with a winning streak, and they were able to win all back-to-back away games, which also proved their strength.

The Timberwolves have fewer home games this month, and Zhang Sixin also cherishes it very much.

No matter what the weather in Minnesota is, it's much more comfortable at home than away.

Especially the moment when I got home, it was really comfortable.

After the cousin came, Zhang Sixin also had someone to communicate with, which made him feel much more relaxed than before.

Of course, now that I have made some money, it is also one of the reasons not to worry about trivial matters.

On November 11, the Timberwolves, who returned to their home court, ushered in a challenge from the Knicks.

The Knicks are not doing well now, and their desire for Anthony is getting closer.

In fact, the Knicks' current lineup is pretty good, but it's a pity that D'Antoni is a head coach who likes the No. [-] position.

Back in the Suns, he couldn't do it before Nash came.

And D'Antoni doesn't have to be an organizer, he can only bring the type that fits his style.

This is the tragedy of only playing one set of main tactical coaches. Success or failure depends entirely on whether the configuration matches.

So even if the Knicks get Anthony and Billups, they still won't be able to play.
