Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 186
From the beginning of the last quarter, Ginobili has a tendency to explode.

Zhang Sixin sighed very much. Sure enough, the variable for the Spurs was still on the side of Yaodao.

Come directly to the fairy ball, who can bear it.

When Ginobili was on the bench, it was actually the time when the Spurs had the most three-pointers.

It's really hard to defend at this time, which is also a test for the Timberwolves' defensive system.

However, the Spurs will definitely not use this lineup when they decide to win. Their head coach Popovich will still stubbornly replace two insiders, although one of the insiders must be a weak link.

It can only be said that the Spurs have transformed, but they still believe in the defense that has helped them win many games over the years. After all, if they only play one inside, the weak link on the defensive end will be more obvious.

It is also because Bonner is not strong enough, so he can only vote for open positions, which feels like a loss.

During the rotation period, Ginobili and Neal both hit three-pointers, and the score was approaching and a bit scary.

Fortunately, Curry hit a three-pointer and stabilized the situation.

When the Spurs can shoot a lot, the defense is not very good. They have to make a choice in the lineup.

For the Timberwolves, there is no obvious situation, and they must be the starter at the last moment.

When they led the most, they had already reached double digits. After the efforts of the Spurs during the rotation period, when the main players of both sides returned one after another, the point difference between the two teams was only in single digits.

"Three points, we must pay attention to the three points, we must be more focused..." Zhang Sixin reminded the players.

As the lagging side, the Spurs will definitely shoot the three-pointer that has been strengthened this season.

Zhang Sixin can even imagine that Ginobili must be holding the ball at that time, and Jefferson is squatting in the bottom corner.

They must strangle these two points, and Parker will hit Zhang Sixin.

The Spurs kept Bonner with the main lineup for about three minutes, but they switched to McDyess after being hit twice by Love.

Anyway, Blair can't play anymore, it's fine to be short, and it's really too unstable to be short and not good at defense.

The Spurs originally asked Parker to launch a pick-and-roll tactic with the ball, and Parker also played two, but after he rushed in and was capped by Milicic, the Spurs still let Ginobili play the main attack.

After Parker was released, he missed a three-pointer and missed a two-pointer. He was about to have a psychological shadow.

And Milicic already has 6 caps this time, if Parker subconsciously rushes in, he will give it away.

As the final quarter passed, the Spurs increasingly needed three-pointers.

At this time, Ginobili was still in a good state of mind. After he missed a three-pointer, he continued to shoot, and he just made another one.

"As expected of the Impassable Demon Sword..." Zhang Sixin couldn't help applauding.

He has made the player first to guard Ginobili's three-pointer, but still let him go in.

However, appreciation is appreciation, and the defensive intensity cannot be lowered.

The Timberwolves started to flank, and now Duncan no longer needs to flank, and the flanking quota cannot be wasted.

In this case, the other points of the Spurs are unable to stand out.

After Ginobili hit the iron twice, Duncan grabbed an offensive rebound and scored Jefferson, who hit a crucial 3-pointer.

It has to be said that the Spurs' defense in the last few minutes was also very good.

Neither Curry nor Love found a chance, but the team's tactical execution was really good, and other players showed their strength.

Milicic hit the inside again, and he also cooperated with DeRozan, who made a solid hit.

DeRozan's shooting is really much better this season. This is his hard work and it also shows that he has this talent.

His mid-range shots are getting more and more stable, unlike last season when he could only hit the basket.

The three-pointers have also steadily increased, approaching [-]% of the shots.

Compared with the initial [-]% and not daring to vote, Zhang Sixin is delighted with the current progress.

DeRozan is different from Matthews. Matthews is not capable of holding the ball enough and can only be an end point. He can only be a supporting role in the team, while DeRozan's talent can become an All-Star.

After DeRozan grew up this season, the Timberwolves' main lineup is really much easier than last season.

It is useless to lock the Timberwolves by one or two points. Milicic and DeRozan's scoring made the Spurs very uncomfortable.

Jefferson's goal just now was a bit lucky, and the Spurs can only let Ginobili play under normal offense.

As for Duncan, this game was indeed in poor form, and he was very energetic.

Ginobili tried his best and caused fouls by DeRozan and Milicic successively.

But then Curry's goal, and Love killed Duncan to the free throw line, pushing the Spurs to a dead end.

The key is that there is no time, and it has come to the last minute of the game. If they don't score, the game will be settled.

Spurs coach Popovich had no choice. He replaced Bonner and Gary Neal again, completely betting on three points.

And their gamble worked, as Gary Neal got the whistle from outside the three-point line.

After he withstood the pressure and hit three free throws, the Spurs chased within 5 points.

Popovich simply became more determined and replaced Duncan.

However, Love hit again next, and the Spurs were finished.

As Manu Ginobili missed a hasty three-pointer, the contest between the big players in the Western Conference came to an end.

The Timberwolves won by 6 points.

When the Spurs had problems inside, both Love and Milicic had double-doubles.

Especially Love, who scored 35 points and 22 rebounds in the game, and he won it abruptly in the paint without taking many three-pointers.

After the game, Zhang Sixin was also generous in his praise. He said: "I like the performance of the team's big men. They give me the courage to challenge any team."

Love also said: "I feel very good today, I know what I can do, we dare to fight, the whole team is."

Spurs player Ginobili also said helplessly: "Our performance at the beginning was too bad. We did not give up. We tried very hard to change the situation, but in the end we still failed."

After killing the Spurs, the Timberwolves have only one home game left in November.

Zhang Sixin gave the players half a day off to make some adjustments.

Zhang Sixin himself took a few young people and went to the community to participate in the activities.

Athletes’ daily life is not just about training. In an era when the Internet is becoming more and more developed, they also need to use their influence to bring positive influence to the society, and at the same time give back to the fans.

Occasionally going to sit down charity activities is good, and Zhang Sixin also enjoys it.

Moreover, he is much more relaxed as a head coach than a player.

The time came to November 11th, and the Timberwolves played against the Warriors at home.

This is also the first time Jefferson has returned to the Target Center. Zhang Sixin signaled the fans to give Jefferson applause.

In the business alliance, there is no need to be too harsh on ex-teammates.

Everyone competes on the court, but they can still be friends off the court.

Of course, familiar players should also be beaten.
