Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 203 Differences in Pick and Roll Tactics
The Timberwolves' road trip continued, and this time they finally lost.

After Love broke out on the field, he was in poor form, and the team lost to the underdog Timberwolves in the West.

Strong teams often lose, which is such an unexpected situation.

Gordon's unreasonable outburst on the outside of the Clippers is also one of the reasons.

It's okay to lose an away game. After returning to Minnesota, Curry has confirmed his comeback.

In fact, Curry has no physical problems in front of him. It was Zhang Sixin who asked him to rest until the end of the consecutive away games.

It is relatively safe to come back at home, and the physical condition can be controlled at any time.

After the Timberwolves' consecutive away games, there is a home adjustment, and then they can rest for three days.

But then it's back to back again, and the end of the month is not so easy.

The Jazz are visiting. The Jazz's current record is not bad. Although Millsap has grown rapidly, but Boozer left and Okur was injured, they still lack insiders.

And now the Jazz's defense is getting worse.

Their tactics are still the same, but a little out of date.

Curry felt good after his comeback and hit a three-pointer at the beginning.

Next, the Timberwolves also blossomed more, and the starting five tigers all scored.

Fans can see that the cooperation between Curry and Love is much smoother than DeRozan and Love before.

Compared with the Timberwolves' full-scale offense, the Jazz is mainly the pick-and-roll of Deron and Millsap.

The Jazz's tactics are like this, and the routine will not change if the players are changed.

Only the players adapt to the system, and the system will not change much because of the characteristics of the players.

Now that the Jazz can't guarantee the effectiveness of their iron-blooded defense, their offensive power seems a bit insufficient.

"The Jazz still have too few players who can score with their individual abilities, and their offensive system has too little participation in the third point of the team." Zhang Sixin commented.

The Jazz's pick-and-roll and the Timberwolves are actually different. Except for the organizers, they are all terminal points, and the inside line partnered with Deron must be the strongest terminal point.

For the Timberwolves, two people can organize, and there are many more tactical changes.

Of course, the Jazz will also make fine-tuning based on other characteristics, but they really rely on the personal ability of the tactical core. If the tactical core is not in a good state, it is difficult for them to make adjustments.

The Jazz's substitute players are actually not bad. They have also won some talented young people in the new season. The team still feels promising.

But facing the Timberwolves, they didn't give much time to the rotation, so the substitute players didn't play much.

On the Timberwolves side, more time is given and more points are scored, which is actually about the same.

In fact, regardless of the main substitute, the key is to look at the efficiency on the court.

What Jazz coach Sloan feels a little upset is that even if they keep the main lineup on the court for more time, they have not been able to take advantage.

At most, the Timberwolves have not continued to expand their advantage. The main confrontation between the two sides, the Jazz is indeed at a disadvantage, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. Timberwolves are stronger.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves are still blooming more.

After Curry came back, the team's offense became smoother. When they met a team with poor defense, they were able to play dazzling cooperation. Fans who don't know much about the ball will feel that they are very teamy.

"You can play real team basketball without a master of organization, or in other words...the master of organization can't actually play team basketball of this level, because the master of organization needs more possession of the ball, which is actually an act of destroying the team. Therefore, the master of organization is actually a star tactic, but he is better at organization." Zhang Sixin thought.

But there is no need to worry about who is stronger in team basketball or star basketball.

Tactics should be arranged according to the characteristics of the players. There is no strongest tactic, only more suitable players.

Competitive sports, everything is for the victory of the game, and the entanglement of which tools to use is actually a problem with the brain.

It's just that some coaches who can't see clearly are for profit, and some are really stupid.

At the last moment of the first half, Curry made a throw and Love made an offensive rebound. The two scored 4 points to help the team stabilize the lead.

The Jazz's current record is in the same category. Their conflicts have not yet broken out, and the team still wants to strengthen and hit a higher ranking in the West.

During the intermission, their head coach Sloan was very dissatisfied with the team's performance. The players lowered their heads and were a little bit depressed.

Encountering the Timberwolves with a neat lineup, most teams in the league will be very painful, and the Jazz will be the same.

What the Timberwolves have to do is to give full play to their inside advantage, and then drive the outside attack.

To put it bluntly, it is the advantage of rebounding. Curry and Love have this advantage. To put it bluntly, Love grabs a few more rebounds and allows Curry to shoot more. It is a very powerful advantage.

In the third quarter, the Jazz actually wanted to add some other offenses.

But now the Jazz's role players really don't shoot very well, and they failed several times to end with three-pointers.

The Jazz really don't pay enough attention to three-pointers. Obviously, role players squatting on the three-point line can improve the offensive power of pick-and-roll tactics.

It may be that the head coach Sloan's thinking is a bit rigid. In fact, the Jazz still shot more three-pointers than earlier, but they did not change as fast as the Spurs and were too conformist.

Under such circumstances, even if the Jazz's two tactical cores play well, they cannot narrow the score gap with the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup this season really has no obvious shortcomings, especially on the offensive end. Everyone has their own means.

And their lineup can be upgraded. If it becomes more perfect, Zhang Sixin can also say to other teams, are you here to compete for second place?
Now, the Timberwolves are still relatively strong in the second tier of the league.

By the time of the playoffs, they will be the first in the league.

Plug-ins to upgrade players are so immediate.

However, the Jazz reaped benefits from letting the main lineup play more in the second half. After all, the Timberwolves' bench lineup is still unstable.

The defense has been getting better, but Whiteside hasn't improved enough, and the offense has not yet reached the standard.

Zhang Sixin also knows that no pains no gain, so he is not in a hurry and will give enough opportunities to exercise at any time.

With a rotation like his, even without cheats, the growth of players will be faster than in the original history.

After all, many teams in the league don't give rookies too much performance time in the game.

In that case, rookie players will definitely be much slower to adapt to the league.

Zhang Sixin is different. The rookie player's salary has rookie benefits, so it's a good deal to use it at this time.

Of course, this is a joke, mainly because Zhang Sixin has the confidence.
