Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 184 The Spurs Weak Inside

The Thunder struggled a few times at the last moment and used foul tactics.

It's a pity that they don't have three points, and it really has no effect.

The Thunder are now focused on engaging insiders, but in fact their 3D is what they lack the most.

After trading Green, who can shoot three-pointers, their three-pointers are really more uncomfortable.

If it weren't for the Thunder having Durant, a guy who has reached the superstar level, they really wouldn't be able to reach their current competitive position in the West.

In fact, in the original history, the gap between the Thunder and the championship may be one or two 3D players.

So you say that the Thunder's vision is not good, and they have selected so many good seedlings. If they have a good vision, they don't seem to understand what kind of configuration the team's star needs.

Really, sometimes the fans can't see it, but the management doesn't have enough courage.

After the game, Thunder head coach Brooks also said: "We did not perform well in the second half. Both offense and defense have not withstood the test. We need to play harder."

Zhang Sixin said happily: "I'm very happy with the team's inside play. They turned their advantage into a victory. This is what I hope to see."

Milicic, who scored a new season high, said: "I just told myself to be firm. I have the ability to score in the penalty area. I want to be the winner of the penalty area."

The Timberwolves have only one away game this time. When November ends, they can be relatively relaxed.

After returning to Minnesota, Zhang Sixin asked his cousin to go to a nice restaurant to enjoy a meal.

This is also a rare activity. Most of the time he is not so free, and he can relax at the end of the month.

I also go out for a walk while the weather is not too cold, and it will not be so comfortable outside after a while.

In a few days, Zhang Sixin will participate in a program, and by the way, shoot a simple commercial.

Locally in Minnesota, he also has some business ventures.

But there are basically no other places in the United States. As a head coach, the main job is more important.

Money is endless, so Zhang Sixin will not be active after reaching a certain level of commercial endorsement.

"Are you still used to it here?"

"It's actually quite comfortable, but sometimes things are a little less..."

"But it's very important, isn't it? I can't trust others. Our brothers are united and have made a career in the American Empire."

The two drank two glasses. Although the feelings of childhood were not completely retained, they were equally comfortable getting along.

With Zhang Sihui as an assistant, Zhang Sixin let go of trivial matters, which is also the reason why he sometimes comes out to relax.

The team has returned to the home court, but it is still a ruthless player.

The Spurs, who are now ranked No. [-] in the Western Conference, are visiting, and they are also No. [-] in the league at this stage.

The Spurs are still in transition this season, paying more attention to offense, and now they have a lot of momentum.

They didn't spend a lot of money to change in the summer, and of course the Spurs have always been in a state of not spending much money.

They signed the Brazilian Splitter, got another undrafted pick, Gary Neal, and that was it.

This season Ginobili directly became the starter. The team did not directly use Splitter inside, nor did they continue to use too old players like McDyess. They chose the attacking short and strong insider Blair.

The Spurs' starting lineup this season can be said to be very offensive, and there are also players like Hill on the bench. From the perspective of the regular season record, their transformation is relatively successful, if they have not been hacked in the original history.

The Spurs, whose defense has been lowered, may be very stable, but they may also play awkwardly when they encounter tough players in the playoffs.

After the game started, Zhang Sixin felt for the first time that the Spurs' insiders were so easy to bully.

Blair is really too short, he really can't guard anyone in the Western Conference level matchup, Love and Milicic just hit him casually.

Coupled with Duncan being one year older, the Spurs will have a difficult first quarter.

The Spurs actually focused on Curry when they came up. Last season, they were broken by Curry.

Unexpectedly, this time Curry hadn't played yet, and their inside line was blown up.

The point is, Duncan's offensive performance was not very good today.

At this age, Duncan has also been plagued by some minor injuries, and his state is not good this season.

As for the offensive end, it is not so easy for him to single out Love or Milicic.

In fact, in the later stage, Duncan is more of a deterrent on the defensive end.

The offensive end has a limited time to explode, and can only bully those insiders who are relatively weak in body. Bosh can be regarded as catching up.

Of course, it is also related to the Spurs' current tactical choices. They are getting more and more outside.

So Gary Neal can get a chance as soon as he disrupts the game, if the previous Spurs were not so easy to mess with.

Even a defensive team like the Spurs has begun to transform, which shows that the league is now changing.

I haven't noticed that it's time for coaches who can't keep up with the times to be eliminated.

In this game, the Spurs were deflated at the beginning, and it wasn't all about the insiders.

The Spurs' own offense also had problems.

Of course, there are also inside matters here, because the Timberwolves have Milicic, and the Spurs can't play inside. If there are two points missing, there will definitely be problems.

On the outside, Parker doesn't have a three-pointer. The Timberwolves only need to guard Ginobili and Jefferson's three-pointers to make it easier.

The Spurs transitioned to offense, and the three-pointers naturally increased their shots, but the main lineup did not. The Spurs got some role players who can shoot three-pointers to enrich their tactical options.

Their main tactics are actually still the same, and Parker didn't practice three-pointers hard.

As a romantic Frenchman, Parker must have had a good time picking up girls during the holidays. How happy he was at the time, how helpless he was about to be targeted now.

Parker shot unhappily and made a hit, but it didn't matter to the overall situation.

Against the Spurs, as long as Parker was on the court, the Timberwolves would dare to release him for three-pointers.

He invested a few more if he had the ability, but obviously he didn't have the ability.

After the main lineup was restricted, the Spurs also made various adjustments.

But after they used Ginobili as the main force, the substitute players did not have such an immediate effect.

Hill can also, but it's far worse than Ginobili, and the Timberwolves' defense can handle it.

And the Spurs are also a team that will not be the main force in the regular season, Zhang Sixin can rest assured to train young people.

In fact, the substitutes on both sides did not perform very well this time, but it doesn't matter, the Timberwolves have the advantage of the main lineup, and Zhang Sixin doesn't care if the two sides peck each other longer.

The Spurs also let Ginobili stagger the time to bring back to the bench, but the feeling is still different from when Ginobili played directly on the bench.

In the past, the Spurs were stronger on the bench, but now, like other teams, the Timberwolves can withstand it.

Moreover, after the main lineup played again, the Spurs' inside line was still weak.

Playing the Spurs can actually bully their insiders, Zhang Sixin feels that he will see him for a long time.
