Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 240 New Record

In the game between the Timberwolves and the Mavericks, during the second half rotation period, because the Mavericks did not achieve the expected success, the Timberwolves still took the lead.

At the end of the quarter, the Mavericks had no more options, they could only attack in an all-round way.

Full offense means that the Mavericks will shoot more three-pointers from the outside.

Even if the Mavericks have a complete lineup, they don't have much offensive power inside. In fact, they are a flawed and strong team.

But there is no team in the entire league that is omnipotent, so there is suspense in the playoffs.

Even those teams that dominate for a while actually have weak links, just because they are too strong, their opponents cannot seize the opportunity.

But for the Timberwolves in this game, it is not difficult to seize the chance of victory.

When Nowitzki rested, the Timberwolves almost blocked the opponent's three-point line.

After Nowitzki came up, he was faced with pincers again, and had to fight physically without the ball.

Love has already got a large double-double, and the final offense can be handed over to his outside teammates. His situation is completely different from that of Nowitzki, and everyone is very happy to spend it together.

Nowitzki is very powerful, but until the last moment, he will not catch the ball from outside the three-point line and face the flanking attack. He will pass the ball most of the time and let other players attack.

Generally, it is someone who can play with the ball on the back line, such as Terry.

Kidd and Terry are still complementary. Kidd can stabilize the rhythm and give Terry when he wants to attack.

However, the Mavericks' perimeter defense will still be affected. Terry's defense is not very good. Kidd is old and slow to move, but he can't keep up with the rhythm.

Need to score now, the Mavericks guard configuration is more risky, Terry plus Barea.

Both can attack, but defense is more problematic.

Curry and DeRozan seized the opportunity to take the ball directly.

Of course, the Mavericks' gamble lineup did have some effect. When the Timberwolves pinched Nowitzki, both Terry and Barea scored, which was better than Kidd's offensive effect.

But Zhang Sixin still insisted on flanking Nowitzki, and it didn't matter if he was caught up a bit, because he didn't believe that the Mavericks would dare to bet like that in the last few minutes.

Even if the opponent dares, it is difficult for the players to withstand the pressure.

Besides, as long as the Timberwolves can continue to score, it doesn't matter.

When the time came to the last 5 minutes, Barea was replaced after missing a three-pointer.

At this time, the score gap between the two sides was smaller than before, and Mavericks coach Carlisle really didn't dare to bet.

But the Timberwolves' offense did not stop because of the adjustment of the opponent's lineup. First, DeRozan hit the inside and scored 2+1, and then Curry stole Kidd and assisted Love for an easy layup.

After Kidd came up, should there be a problem with the Mavericks' defense or a problem.

The Timberwolves almost closed the game, but the Mavericks still showed their demeanor as a strong team in the Western Conference at the critical moment. First, Dirk Nowitzki caused a foul in the interior, and then Terry soared a fairy ball, which kept the suspense for the outcome of the game.

However, this is still far from enough, because time is getting less and less.

Although the point difference is only about 5 points left, the Timberwolves' defense can be said to be impeccable, and it is difficult for the Mavericks to find any opportunities.

In the last 2 minutes of time, Kidd finally used his body to cause Curry to foul and made two free throws, but then Milicic hit inside.

This feeling made the Mavericks players a little discouraged. Every time they saw an opportunity, the Timberwolves would hit the head and kill them.

Nowitzki really wanted to change the situation with his personal ability, but the team was severely restricted by the Timberwolves' defense in the next two rounds.

As Nowitzki forcibly missed a three-point shot, the game lost its suspense.

Of course, the Mavericks tried hard to implement two foul tactics, but the score gap became even wider than before.

This game was still won by the Timberwolves.

Love finally occupied the season's double-double record alone, and Zhang Sixin also sincerely sent his blessings, "I know very well that Kevin can do it, and he has excellent abilities. In the future, he will create more records, and he will pursue his wishes until he has always hoped for various victories."

Love broke the record, which can be regarded as fulfilling the player's wish, which can make the player's mentality better in the future.

And the schedule in the middle of March is also available, and the Timberwolves still have two home games.

Two days later, they welcomed the Pacers in the East.

The Pacers are also in a difficult situation now. They still have hopes for the playoffs, and it is too late to start playing badly, and the team's main player, Dunleavy, is injured again.

Facing the Timberwolves, the Pacers were a little weak.

Curry and DeRozan broke out in the first quarter of the Timberwolves, and the Pacers' defense seemed weak from the beginning.

Then there was a foul problem with Hibbert, Love and Pekovic broke out again, and the Pacers couldn't resist it in the first half.

In the second half, the Timberwolves made great efforts on both offense and defense, and the team clocked out of get off work in three quarters, which is rare.

In this game, the Pacers were limited by the Timberwolves to 80 points and failed to score. While their head coach Vogel was grabbing the defense, the offensive end seemed a bit dull.

As for the Timberwolves, Love scored a double 20 in 20 minutes, which is not good.

Zhang Sixin was a little worried that he would not be able to hold on in the playoffs after being so hot in the regular season.

Two days later, the Timberwolves beat the Jazz at home again.

The changes in the Jazz still happened as in the original history. The old coach Sloan was so angry that he left Deron, the young man he was most optimistic about, and then the Jazz also sent Deron to the Nets.

Now the strength of the Jazz has declined, and the replaced Harris is much worse than Deron, and the team's record, which was not bad, has gradually declined.

Now their playoffs are only theoretically possible, but the team has not made up their minds to use the remaining time to train young people.

I may still be unwilling, and I don't think it will be okay to leave the Deron team.

But they just can't do it anymore. All-star players mean so much to a team, especially a team with a relatively fixed tactics like the Jazz. Before, all the players were built around Deron. Now they can't play the team's due strength.

In this game, the Timberwolves also suppressed their opponents at the beginning, and all the five starting five tigers were very impressive.

But at this time, the Jazz is still injured, and Millsap, the strongest point left on the team, can't play yet.

Then their current strength is about the same as that of the Weak Chicken Team.

The Timberwolves once again clocked out of get off work in three quarters, and Love's season double-double record continued.

However, the scenery of the Timberwolves did not continue.

After they went to the away game, they lost to the Warriors inexplicably.

Love felt sluggish, and his double-double record ended at 53 games.

However, this kind of thing is irrelevant. The Timberwolves only have the last dozen games left in the regular season. What they want to look forward to is no longer a flashy regular season data record.
