Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 191 I Believe You

The Spurs did increase their outside shots in the third quarter, but the Timberwolves were waiting here.

The Timberwolves were strictly guarded against three-pointers, and the Spurs couldn't help but contributed a few more pieces of refined iron.

And in the second half, Duncan really began to lose his physical strength.

In other words, if the Spurs don't want to play outside, they can't do it.

However, Duncan's defensive skills are still there, which is what he is best at. After physical problems occur, it will at most affect the deterrence on the offensive end.

The Spurs still let Blair start, but changed in three minutes.

The Spurs are working hard to attack from the outside, while the Timberwolves are mainly attacking by Curry, Love and DeRozan. Matthews is squatting, and Milicic has no sense of offense today.

Fighting the outside line with the Timberwolves, the Spurs obviously have some difficulties, especially when Ginobili is in poor form.

In fact, the Spurs GDP, Parker and Ginobili are not very good, they both need to hold the ball to play.

Now that they start at the same time, it is difficult to enter the state together when they encounter a strong defensive team.

And facing the Timberwolves, Parker's three-point problem will be more targeted than infinite.

In the outside duel in the second half, the Timberwolves basically beat their opponents.

In a word, Curry is strong.

Compared to deterrence, Parker's shoes are not worthy.

Curry doesn't need to create much space at all, there is space everywhere outside the three-point line.

And DeRozan's physical fitness is something the Spurs can only envy.

The current Matthews is also stronger than the degraded Jefferson.

As long as Duncan doesn't get mad, the Timberwolves' strength can actually crush the Spurs.

The situation is wrong, and the Spurs are also doing rotations, but they are more cautious.

But the effect was not very good. It was not until the Timberwolves had a tendency to open up the score that the Spurs went all out and carried out a large-scale rotation.

They simply dropped Duncan and let Ginobili play off the bench.

The Spurs don't know what the effect will be. It is estimated that Ginobili himself doesn't know what he will do, otherwise he wouldn't be a demon knife.

The Spurs made such a bet, in fact, they made the right bet. It wasn't that Ginobili went crazy, but that after a group of substitutes who could shoot came in, the team finally had a three-pointer.

When the Timberwolves entered the rotation, they had no more than two defensive players on the bench last season. Their current rotation lineup is worse defensively, giving the Spurs a chance.

If it's the playoffs, the Timberwolves will definitely go all out to take the Spurs away.

But now it is the regular season, even with the impact of the Western Conference rankings, it is impossible to chase after the regular season early.

The substitute lineup did not hold up, and the Spurs caught up with the score again.

But it doesn't matter, Zhang Sixin's rotation time is originally to train newcomers.

He is also convinced that those rookies are always growing, and it is worth it.

It is worth losing a few more goals, not to mention that it will not affect the outcome of the game.

Isn't it just that the opponent has caught up with the score, and the main lineup just needs to suppress the opponent.

After the main lineup played one after another in the final quarter, the situation on the court was different.

First of all, the defense of the main lineup is much more stable, and it is difficult for the Spurs to attack the inside.

In addition, the Timberwolves' main perimeter lineup has much more firepower.

In addition, the Spurs' main lineup has fewer three-pointers.

They can't do without Parker's ball-holding point, which is a contradiction that the opponent cannot resolve.

Of course, the Spurs will use one big and four small in the last few minutes, Hill stays on the court, and Duncan supports the Spurs inside alone.

This gives them three outside [-]-pointers, which is better than just two in the starting lineup.

But even with three three-pointers, it is not so easy for them to break through the Timberwolves' defense.

Duncan also tried to go crazy again, but after one hit, he couldn't move much.

After all, he is old and has some injuries on his body, so he dare not continue to work hard.

The Spurs played harder against the Timberwolves than against other teams, but they did not reach the level of the playoffs, so the Spurs can still only focus on the outside.

Originally, it was difficult for the Spurs to withstand, at least unable to overtake the score, but there was a problem with the Timberwolves.

Milicic was blown twice by the referee, and he made too many fouls and couldn't stay on the court.

At the opponent's home court, we still need to pay attention to fouls.

If Milicic goes down, the Timberwolves' defense will drop a bit, mainly because Whiteside has not yet achieved success in interior defense.

So what should I do if I go to the bench or what to do? Zhang Sixin called a timeout, and after careful consideration, he went to Paul George.

Anyway, the Spurs are also one big and four small, and Paul George still has no problem playing the fourth position.

Zhang Sixin felt that George should be given a chance to exercise, but he did not choose Green because of his height.

George was more excited when he came up and immediately grabbed an offensive rebound, but he missed the next shot.

"It's okay, keep working hard..." Zhang Sixin encouraged George.

After George comes up, the defense can go out completely, squat the bottom line when attacking, and the Timberwolves can also diversify their tactics.

He doesn't need to take too much responsibility, it's good to take away a defensive player.

Then Curry hit a shot, which also proved that the Timberwolves' small lineup has a bonus to the outside offense.

And if Love goes inside, he can actually withstand it, but the team doesn't have help defense.

In addition, when Love and Duncan confront each other, don't expect much from his offense.

On the rebound, Love is stronger than Duncan.

Zhang Sixin doesn't let Love hit fives very much. He pays attention to defense. If it's just offense, it's no problem for Love to hit fives, and he won't suffer any losses on rebounds.

Duncan finally gave up after beating Love. Love, this chubby guy, is really powerful, and Duncan feels that he can't afford it.

He can only play back now, otherwise he will end in a few minutes after showing his power, and the Spurs will be finished.

"A master tactician, relying on Duncan so much..." Zhang Sixin muttered sarcastic remarks from the sidelines.

After Milicic left the field, the Spurs began to look like they were going to come back.

But after the Timberwolves resisted, Curry's scoring stabilized the team again, and Zhang Sixin felt relieved.

Milicic waited until the last 3 minutes to play again.

But in less than 30 seconds, Ginobili got it down again.

Zhang Sixin is also speechless. Even if Ginobili is not good at the basket, he still has a tactical effect on the court.

Milicic was a little frustrated, Zhang Sixin immediately comforted: "It's okay, we can watch the video to improve the details, so they won't be able to deal with you like this next time."

After Milicic made six fouls, the Spurs began to attack the inside frantically.

Ginobili fouled Love again, and Jefferson also got a chance to go in and dunk.

The Spurs once again approached the score. In the last 2 minutes of the score, the air in the stadium became tense again.

Zhang Sixin also felt a little nervous, but he still smiled and said to the players: "It's okay, I trust you."
