Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 250 Righteous Words

The Nets' main lineup has two strong points and they are playing well, but their bench lineup is too weak. It is so weak that the Timberwolves rest two people in rotation. When the bench is a little short of people, the rotation lineup still crushes them.

Players who can enter the NBA have very good talents, but there is also a big gap in talent. This gap is very obvious in the rotation.

For a team without superstars, the bench lineup can really represent the strength of the team to a certain extent.

And a team with superstars is the crushing of talent above talent, and it cannot be ignored by common sense.

The Nets' bench lineup is particularly stretched, but the two strong points still have a good performance when they come back.

The Timberwolves have no flanking attack now, which also gives the opponent some room to play stronger.

And I don't know why, the Nets let two strong points, especially Deron played for a long time, so the game will not lose suspense in the first half.

"I don't understand what the Nets are doing, what if the star is injured?" Zhang Sixin complained.

Timberwolves can't control what the opponent does, but they still have to deal with it.

They won't be the main force, but they can improve the defensive strength.

After the Timberwolves improved their defense, the Nets' offensive efficiency began to decline.

Neither of their two strengths is particularly strong, and it is not difficult for the Timberwolves to limit them.

In the first half, the Nets could still keep up with the rhythm, but in the second half, the situation on the court was one-sided.

After the Timberwolves had another small explosion during the rotation time of the second half, the game lost its suspense, and the Timberwolves also avoided continuing to lose.

After this game, the Timberwolves will play back to back again, but it is better to return to the home court.

Zhang Sixin naturally arranged a rest, and the main players who did not rest on the field will have a rest this time.

Paul George got another chance to start, and Whiteside was on top of the fifth position.

Because the playoffs are coming, Zhang Sixin also gave Bledsoe a chance to start.

The Suns have actually bid farewell to the playoffs at this time, but they don't have any suitable rookie training, so the current game is considered casual.

They don't care much about winning or losing. Among the teams that can't make it to the playoffs, they have won a lot of games, and it is too late to perform poorly.

The Suns' lineup this season is not too bad, but the main players are really old.

Their defense is still poor, but the offensive end is not as complete as before.

In fact, the Suns have made a lot of efforts in the middle of the season, such as trading players such as Carter and Gortat, such as acquiring Brooks, but unfortunately it was useless.

Instead, some first-round picks were sent out, which can be said to have completely lost the bet.

So Nash's state continued to decline later, and the Suns had no choice but to send him away for a draft pick to rebuild.

The biggest problem for the Suns now is not that they don't have strong stars, but that their style of play is too extreme.

If a non-defensive offensive team wants to succeed, it must have top stars, which is a difficult choice to achieve results. Now Nash is no longer a star of this level, and it is difficult for the Suns to find a team that is as suitable as Stoudemire.

The Suns don't care about winning or losing, which means they won't give up easily. For the Timberwolves, who have back-to-back and rested the core of their tactics, it is actually not easy to play.

At the beginning of the game, Suns center Gortat played well.

The Suns didn't perform well this season, but some players still gained. Gortat is one of the representatives. It can be said that he did not have a bright future as Howard's substitute in the Magic.

Whiteside's static talent is better than others, but his lack of experience in the first pair is very obvious.

"Hassan is still improving. I remember that he fouled when he went up." Zhang Sixin said.

Whiteside can't count on much this season, but it can be of great use in the future if he continues to improve.

It doesn't matter if the opponent plays well at one point, because DeRozan also played very well.

Facing a team with poor defense, DeRozan still played very well.

Whether it's outside singles or rushing in for dunks, it's more entertaining.

However, Bledsoe, who started for the first time, performed mediocrely. He really didn't play as well as Jeremy Lin.

"It still needs training..." Zhang Sixin sighed inwardly.

He is observing the current situation of the players, and those substitute players can play a role in the playoffs.

He now lets the players take turns instead of playing less time, and he also has the mind to observe the substitute players.

To be honest, that's how the Suns started, but the bench was pretty good.

Not counting Carter, Brooks and Warrick are more aggressive.

It's just that the defense feels weaker, so Jeremy Lin, Green, Pekovic and others can all play well.

For weak defensive opponents, the Timberwolves have enough tactical execution, and the fight is really pleasing to the eye. Those fans who don't know much about basketball will definitely prefer to watch this kind of game.

It was lively until the end of the first half, and the Timberwolves took a slight lead.

In fact, if the Suns go all out, they will not be so simple, but the Suns have no goals now, and the main lineup has not played for a long time.

It’s hard to say how much their main force is better than the backup lineup. In fact, the key is rhythm. The Suns’ bench lineup has offensive power, but the rhythm is a little bit worse. It can be said that the Timberwolves have taken the initiative unconsciously.

The third quarter is about the same.

When the main lineup of the Suns is on the court, they really give full play to their advantages.

However, even with the main lineup, the Suns' defense is not very good.

So when the opponent's player Gortat finished very well, DeRozan played at the All-Star level and scored very fiercely.

Following that, the Suns replaced all of them on the bench at the end of the quarter.

Zhang Sixin didn't mind either, and let the Timberwolves follow the normal rotation.

As a result, the seven Timberwolves scored in double figures, and DeRozan even scored 30 points, winning the game relatively easily.

If you look at the score, the Timberwolves are actually only a little ahead.

But this game is definitely not a fight between dragons and tigers, because the rhythm of the game in the final quarter is completely under the control of the Timberwolves, and the Suns are simply attacking without pressure.

After the game, Zhang Sixin didn't talk much about the game, because the game was too easy, and there was no big confrontation between the two sides.

He talked about some topics about the Timberwolves in the playoffs, as well as players' rest.

"You know, the players are all affected by injuries. The playoffs are coming, and we dare not take risks. We do this to give fans more exciting games in the playoffs."

The same thing, to put it another way, is just such a righteous speech.
