Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 180 Get it done again back to back

The lineup of the Bobcats mainly restricts some outside lines, but it is not as thorough as the restriction.

For some three-point tactics, they can't defend a lot.

Even on the defensive end, old-school coaches like Larry Brown are out of date.

After all, I am too old, and I probably don't have the energy to learn new things.

So the Bobcats didn't defend the Timberwolves at all, and it would be better for them to wait for the main force of the Timberwolves to rest.

A team like the Bobcats does not have high-level stars, and the bench is still a little stronger.

But it's not too powerful, they don't have that kind of powerful sixth man.

But Larry Brown will fuck the stars, and Jackson and Wallace basically won't rest like this.

After all, the Bobcats have a poor record now, and they need to win.

After Milicic went down, the Timberwolves' frame protection was worse, but their overall defense was good, and the inside line was not what people wanted.

Therefore, it is not so easy for the Bobcats to think that two powerful players will break out during the rotation.

As a result, the Bobcats had only one last resort, which was to bet on Captain Jack's singles with the ball.

Stephen Jackson is a versatile fighter, he can do all kinds of things on the offensive end, but he is not very consistent, so he is not yet an All-Star level.

But when he is in good condition, he can indeed temporarily enter this level.

The Bobcats were lucky, and Jackson felt very good in the second quarter.

He continued to pull out from the three-point line, relying on a few fairy balls to help the Bobcats stabilize the situation, and was not overthrown by the Timberwolves in the first half.

There is no way to deal with this kind of thing. When a single player suddenly breaks out, it is difficult for the team to defend.

But for a player of Jackson's level, the Timberwolves will not carry out flanking or other targeted defenses before he breaks out.

Therefore, the Timberwolves can only make slight adjustments afterwards and pay attention to his defense.

But even if the defensive level is improved, they will not deliberately defend against the low-probability event of pulling out of the three-point line.

No one can make the defense cautious beyond the three-point line. Curry is the first man to let the opponent's defense do that, but Curry is in the Timberwolves.

With Jackson scoring in double figures in the second quarter, the Timberwolves only led the Bobcats by 3 points in the first half.

In this game, the Timberwolves' offense was still very stable.

During the intermission, Zhang Sixin only raised his defense.

How can we prevent some players from the opponent from bursting out suddenly? In fact, we still need to focus.

The inside defense must be timely, and the outside three-point defense must be in place.

If the defensive details are done well, even if the opponent has a touch, it will be difficult to score continuously.

The Bobcats were scolded again, and their coach Larry Brown was very dissatisfied with the defense.

Looking at the team with a group of scoring difficulties, Larry Brown was also a little depressed.

If you can't win, you still have to trade.

In the second half, the defense of the two teams was more targeted.

In games in the league, if the two teams are not weak in defense and then target each other, it will definitely be much more difficult to score.

Especially in the third quarter, both sides have some understanding of their respective states.

Strong teams will exert their strength in the third quarter, but in many cases everyone will play extremely difficult in the second half, which requires players to be patient.

If that side does not resist, it is easy to be defeated by the opponent who seizes the opportunity.

The Bobcats are like the second quarter, only players can use their personal ability to fire from the outside.

Jackson didn't have so many opportunities when he was strictly guarded, and even Wallace's impact style of play could only shoot from the outside.

The hit rate is not very good, but because the Timberwolves did not explode at this time, the scores of the two sides did not change much.

However, compared to the Bobcats, the Timberwolves still score more inside.

After all, the Bobcats' defense is on the outside. When the Timberwolves' outside players don't feel so good on three-pointers, they still score more stably inside.

After all, they have better rebounds, and they can shoot directly after grabbing an offensive rebound. Love and Milicic can also play high and low positions, and their tactical flexibility is much higher than that of the Bobcats.

The Bobcats can only play singles with the ball at this time, also because they lack a few brushes on the offensive end.

"The players played well, but if you want to end the game quickly, you still have to shoot from the outside." Zhang Sixin said.

Sometimes it's not enough for the team to play too reasonably. This is the explosive problem that Zhang Sixin has been thinking about.

However, a positive team always has surprises.

The Timberwolves still rotated on a large scale as usual, and the Bobcats thought the opportunity had come.

But they were worse in the second half than the first half. They just didn't meet expectations in the first half. They were still in an advantage, but the Timberwolves' rotation played very well in the second half.

Bledsoe, Green and George all hit three-pointers, and the Bobcats were a little overwhelmed.

It's really a bit of a blow, the main force can't be the Timberwolves' substitute.

When the main force of the Timberwolves returns, Curry and Love can control the situation on the field again.

In this case, the Bobcats can only gamble with their lives.

Gambling life is to increase three-point shots, which is a familiar business for Jackson.

Wallace is still not good at this point. This is really not his accustomed style of play. It is okay to use it occasionally. When the Timberwolves' defensive strength increased in the second half, he had no chance at all.

So the Bobcats also let Augustine try. Although Augustine did not show a strong enough offensive ability, he is actually an offensive guard, but the NBA is too advanced this season.

Now the team needs him to shoot outside, and he can come.

After all, it is a speed plus shooting guard. As long as the defense is not too strong, both sides can come, and the shooting rate depends on each person's level.

How should I put it, when the Bobcats started to bet on the perimeter like this, it was because they were already behind by double digits.

Because of the unexpected small explosion of the Timberwolves' bench, within 2 minutes after the team's main players returned, their lead reached double digits.

This time is easy to handle. When the score advantage is obvious, the Timberwolves can boldly defend and leave Milicic inside to watch.

Therefore, if the Bobcats want to make a comeback, they have to ask the Timberwolves' defense whether they agree or not.

But their outside touch is still good, Jackson really has two brushes.

The Bobcats did hit two three-pointers at the last moment, but that wasn't enough.

On the offensive end, the Timberwolves still made three-pointers.

So even if the Bobcats regained a little score in the last few minutes, they are still some distance away from a comeback.

As a result, the Timberwolves won back-to-back away games again, and the team came to a four-game winning streak.

Although Love did not continue to exaggerate the data this time, he also successfully won a double-double, and another insider Milicic of the team also had a proper double-double, plus five blocks.

The record of the Timberwolves is gradually improving.
