Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 238
In the second half between the Timberwolves and the 76ers, because the 76ers' insider Brand committed three fouls at the beginning, the 76ers let Brand take a rest before long, and the team began to play one and four.

However, this made the Timberwolves' inside line completely explode.

At this time, Speights was the tallest insider of the 76ers, and Milicic directly dominated the offense and defense in the penalty area.

When Milicic went down to rest, Pekovic came up and became a bully in the penalty area.

If it weren't for Iguodala's outside touch to be better than in the first half, the 76ers would have finished the third quarter.

Now the head coach of the 76ers, Doug Collins, you can't say he can't do it. It's okay for the 76ers' configuration to stabilize the record, but you can't say he can do it.

The Timberwolves' inside line is the number one in the league, so how to play with a smaller lineup.

The Timberwolves' inside line is not only about height, they are all strong men, without a meat shield that can resist them, they can really fight casually.

After all, the inside of the Timberwolves headed by Love may not be the top in the league, but bullying weak opponents is definitely the first in the league.

The 76ers have a crisis inside, and the Timberwolves have become the leading party, but they still haven't been on the inside. During the rotation period, they have been speeding up, trying to abolish the Timberwolves' inside.

This is also a method, after all, the 76ers' inside confrontation is not so strong now.

Just increasing the speed does not necessarily destroy the opponent's inside line, and it may also cause the inside line to completely fall.

The 76ers are in the latter kind of sad situation, because their three-pointers are mediocre, and the Timberwolves' defense on the outside is very good. The 76ers' bench lineup did not play the effect of the first half.

Without a scoring advantage, the Timberwolves scored steadily inside. At the end of the quarter, the 76ers faced a more difficult situation.

They can only let Brand come up, hoping to change the situation.

It's just that they still used the first and fourth juniors, but the fifth position was replaced by Brand.

Brand's confrontation is still good, but he is not tall enough after all, and it is a bit reluctant to hit five.

But the 76ers don't have many choices. You must know that one big and four small are actually their tricks, and their No. [-] position, Hawes, is just a fake starter.

Originally, their abacus was to gain an advantage during the rotation period and strive to win the game.

Judging from the situation in the first half, they actually had a chance to do it.

However, the Timberwolves are not so easy to deal with. They will definitely guard against the problems in the first half in the second half, and the success of the 76ers in the first half is also a bit of luck.

The Timberwolves are a strong team in the league, and there is still a gap in strength between the two teams. Even if the Timberwolves' substitute strength is almost inferior, it is not easy for the opponent to handle it, so the 76ers misjudged the difficulty of the game.

In the final quarter, Brand was also completely ineffective.

Because the 76ers are not good at three-pointers, the Timberwolves can shrink their defense.

And when they shrink their defense, they can still limit the three-pointers to death.

The Timberwolves' ability to defend three-pointers is so advanced.

In order to limit the Timberwolves' inside line, the 76ers also shrunk their defense, but at this time the Timberwolves' outside three-pointers will not give their opponents any face.

Halfway through the final quarter, Curry and Matthews hit three-pointers successively, and the Timberwolves stabilized their lead.

The 76ers were not in a hurry at the beginning, because they were not far behind.

But the team always struggled to score, and after the game time became less and less, they panicked a little.

At the last moment, the 76ers also wanted to have some luck outside the three-point line, but Iguodala didn't make a single shot at the critical moment.

This is why Iguodala can't succeed as the boss. He can do everything and feels omnipotent when he is in good form, but it is difficult to lead the team to win joint games if he can't score at critical moments.

But a player like him is very good as a support, after all, he can do anything.

The Timberwolves won the game against the 76ers in the second half.

After the game, the head coach of the 76ers, Collins, could only say depressedly: "The reason for our failure was the poor performance in the second half. They played better than us, and we made too many mistakes."

Zhang Sixin teased Love, who had double 20+ again, and said: "I'm helping him keep records. He doesn't care on the surface, but he must be motivated in his heart."

As long as Love gets one more double-double, he can equal the history of a double-double in a single season created by Moses Malone 32 years ago. Zhang Sixin feels that Love can actually easily surpass and become the number one in history.

He is also constantly breaking records in front of him. For Love, double-doubles are really as simple as eating and drinking.

Zhang Sixin felt it was a pity that a data maniac like Love didn't keep up in the later stage.

If he can win the championship with Love, this buddy will not cooperate with others to lose weight in pursuit of the championship in the future. His prestige in the interior should last for a relatively long time.

Thinking about the era when powerful insiders are scarce in the future, it will not be too difficult for Love to keep the top five insiders.

Back-to-back away games are very hard, but the Timberwolves played against a weak team in the second game.

Wizards with relatively weak offense and defense, obviously they are not satisfied with only one champion.

Love will not have a problem tying the historical record against a defensive insider like Brac.

Another insider of the Wizards, McGee, Milicic will help out.

Love was more excited when he came on the court, but he didn't shoot blindly. When he was excited, he grabbed rebounds sharply, which no one in the league could do.

If you score, it will not be difficult for the Timberwolves to cooperate in double figures.

Facing the weak chicken team, the Timberwolves came up with both inside and outside lines.

The Wizards players only care about their own statistics, and it is difficult for Wall to come back after passing the ball.

As an insider, Brac can be said to be unique to a certain extent, which is even more exaggerated than the same team's outsider than Nick Young, and his efficiency is even lower.

So although he has produced good statistics, no team behind him is willing to pay him a high salary.

After the Timberwolves took the lead, they let the substitutes exercise again.

Back-to-back games are like this, of course Love's stats Zhang Sixin will help keep an eye on them.

Players can create records, and the head coach must support them.

In the second quarter, the main players did not play for long, and the substitute Pekovic played very well, but the score gap did not change.

Even if it's a weak team, it's not too bad. Before the Timberwolves' lineup is fully upgraded, they can't crush their opponents.

But this is enough. The Timberwolves now have the second record in the Western Conference and have trained young rookies. Zhang Sixin has no dissatisfaction.

By the third quarter, the Timberwolves were in full swing.

In this case, it is not easy for the Wizards to score. Under the defense of the Timberwolves, they all become blacksmiths.

With Love successfully completing a double-double, the Timberwolves began to close the game.

Of course, when the rotation lineup came on the court, the Wizards returned a little blood.

But the main lineup played in the final quarter, and it was relatively easy to close the game.

For a team like the Timberwolves with excellent offense and defense, the possibility of overturning in the final quarter is extremely small.
