Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 214 The Magic of the First Shot

The Spurs led for most of the half, but at the last moment they became the trailing side.

This is still a big blow, because they were overtaken but they didn't have much time to chase points.

Duncan hit another shot, and after a missed shot, the Spurs could only count on Ginobili again.

Parker couldn't count on it anyway, he managed to convince himself that he missed a shot from the three-point line, and it was impossible for him to slow down with the little time left.

The regular season is not like the playoffs. Even if the two teams change at the last moment, they are not as cautious as the playoffs, and there is no such thing as a few minutes playing for a long time.

Ginobili played with the ball and missed a three-pointer, so there was not much suspense in the game.

Even though the two teams struggled for a long time in the second half, the Timberwolves seized the opportunity at the last moment.

Without much time, the Spurs could only choose to try foul tactics.

This is to try, after one time, Jefferson missed a three-pointer, and the Spurs gave up struggling.

Although a bit embarrassing, the Spurs, as a veteran team in the Western Conference, really don't pay much attention to the outcome of the regular season.

They always like not to go all out in the regular season, and then pretend to be pigs and eat tigers in the playoffs.

Of course, they are real pigs in many cases, but Zhang Sixin still agrees with the practice of trying to ensure the health of the core players and focusing more on the playoffs.

Neither side said much after the game. Love, who scored double 20, and Curry, who scored 28 points and 11 assists, will undoubtedly become more and more popular with fans.

Zhang Sixin is also very happy to be able to win the Spurs in a row.

But the Spurs are still No. [-] in the West, because the Mavericks also lost.

On the contrary, the Timberwolves' record has become hopeful to reach the top, but their focus has not been placed on it.

It's good to be No. [-] in the Western Conference, and it's okay if you don't.

Upgrading players and waiting until the playoffs to kill the Quartet is Zhang Sixin's season goal.

Two days later, the Timberwolves' game was still at home, without an away game and back-to-back, Zhang Sixin felt very refreshed.

It's just that it's freezing outside, otherwise you can go out and breathe fresh air.

When playing games at home, Zhang Sixin has free time to contact his family.

It's colder at home now, too, but better than Minnesota.

Zhang Sixin is now with young athletes every day, and he pays more attention to his figure.

In winter, the metabolism is slower and it is easier to gain weight. Zhang Sixin also tries to keep exercising as much as possible.

He is also considered young, and he cannot stand on the sidelines and command with a big belly like other coaches.

Zhang Sixin originally trained with the players, but he was too easily hit, so he bought some sports equipment to exercise at home easily, which is not bad.

"You are going to record a few Chinese New Year advertisements next." My cousin reminded Zhang Sixin.

"Let's do it on the rest day at home." Zhang Sixin said casually.

It is mainly due to several commercial contracts in China, and they are planning to take advantage of the Chinese New Year to explode a wave of sales.

He is still relatively free now, and the other party will cooperate with his time.

After all, his endorsement effect is not bad, and thanks to Dayao for making so many fans in the country, he has such a good influence.

On January 1, the Wizards visited.

The Wizards got the No. [-] pick Wall this season and have also entered a complete reconstruction.

The first relatively big deal of the season was initiated by them, sending Arenas to the Magic.

They are now mainly cultivating young players. Young players such as Wall, McGee, Thornton, and Nick Young are all starters. The UAE has also been traded to the Wizards this season.

But there are not many opportunities in the Wizards of the United Arab League. The United Arab Emirates and Wall are an agent.

Looking at it now, the performance is still relatively tasteless.

The Wizards mainly train Wall this season, but the old players are traded away, and Nick Young and Blatche don't give the No. [-] pick much face, and they can't get the ball out of their hands.

In many cases, the rebuilding team is so chaotic, and the current Wizards can also be said to be a typical example of being unable to attack and defend.

Now that Blatche is injured, the situation is better with McGee on top.

From the start of the game, everyone knew that it was not the same level of competition.

Love played the fine tradition of cruelty, and the data exploded when he came up. He and Milicic overwhelmed each other in the interior.

McGee is actually good, but he fouls quickly, which is actually a bit similar to Whiteside now.

And the other insiders of the Wizards are all food delivery.

The Wizards are also more face-saving this time, giving the UAE a lot of time.

Zhang Sixin is of course sensible, and gave Sun Yue more playing time, so everyone can play the national derby.

The U.S. can still play well this time. After all, the Wizards are too good inside, let alone the others. U.S. can follow Love a little bit.

Sun Yue's performance was average, but the defense was still good, and he also sent assists.

Zhang Sixin was still a little dissatisfied when he didn't hit a three-pointer.

Facing weaker opponents, the Timberwolves managed to clock in and get off work in three quarters, and Love was 30+ in three quarters, and he was also a guy who could show off.

Zhang Sixin felt that if Love started his career in a big city, even if the team's record was not close, his reputation would definitely be stronger than in the original history. He is too good at bursting statistics.

After the game, Love also called on fans to vote for the Timberwolves players. Around the end of the month, the All-Star starters will come out.

Next, the Timberwolves still sit at home to meet the challenge of the Eastern Conference team, but they are no longer a weak team like the Wizards. The visit is magic.

The Eastern Conference is very competitive this season. In addition to the Celtics before, there are also the Big Three, the Heat, and the Bulls who have risen after the coaching change. The Magic feel that the lineup is a bit overwhelmed.

Because Lewis's strength has declined, and there is a defensive loophole in the fourth position, and Lewis is sent away in exchange for Arenas, hoping to improve the team's strength.

And they also sent Carter and Gortat to the Suns, in exchange for Howard's old partner Turkoglu and the three-point dunk king Jason Richardson.

Magic made an early move and felt threatened, so it made up its mind.

After all, Howard, the boss of the team, is not satisfied with the team's combat effectiveness. If the Magic doesn't play hard in the playoffs, it may be difficult to retain the only ruthless player in the fifth position in the league.

However, these two transactions did not solve the fundamental problem of the Magic.

It's not that they don't have attackers, but they don't have good organizers. Unlike the outside-oriented teams, the core of the team is the fifth position, which must be equipped with good organizers.

Their deal looks scary, but Arenas has not recovered from his serious injury, Turkoglu has declined compared to two seasons ago, and it is difficult for Richardson to play his strength without a good organizer.

The magic's power was used in the wrong direction, and the result was that the playoff record became worse, and Howard was disheartened.

But now, the Magic is still a difficult opponent.
