Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 276 Force
"The Mavericks don't have any new tricks. Their upper limit is already in front of us, but we are different. We have more possibilities." Zhang Sixin encouraged the players.

In terms of tactical details, it is enough for the rest of the coaching staff to explain. Zhang Sixin only needs to pour chicken soup now, because the players are very clear about how to deal with the Mavericks, and the situation in the first half is not surprising.

In this series, one accident of the opponent's role player is almost the limit. What the Timberwolves have to do is to target the Mavericks' strengths.

"This is our territory, we have to increase the intensity and destroy them in one go."

"We barely made it in the first half. The Mavericks were able to cope with the physical strength of the overdrawn players. They had no chance in the second half. We are the strongest team in the West."

Compared with the fighting spirit on the Timberwolves side, the atmosphere on the Mavericks side must be more dignified.

To be honest, they played very well in the first half, but they are still behind.

The Timberwolves have home court advantage. If they can't win this game, it will be really difficult next.

They have to fully attack to have a chance, but they can't relax defensively. The Timberwolves are also very good on the offensive end, and their player ability and teamwork are enviable.

"We withstood their onslaught, and it was our turn in the second half. We have sufficient experience in the playoffs and know how to distribute our energy, but it is difficult for the young Timberwolves to do so. This is our advantage and will help us win the game," Carlisle said.

In fact, the Mavericks have no tactical adjustments, and their tricks are really exhausted.

Does Nowitzki play a small lineup of five?It will definitely not be easy to face the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves can match up in lineup and will be stronger.

The Mavericks are weak because their attack power is almost weak, so they can only fight for a regular lineup.

In the third quarter, as usual, everyone came up to increase defensive strength.

In the duel between strong teams, if the defense is not targeted, it is easy to be in a disadvantageous position.

After the transformation from the Spurs, almost all the strong teams in the West have both offense and defense, but the degree and bias are different.

More than 1 minute later, it was the Timberwolves who broke the deadlock first.

DeRozan's singles once again created a kill.

After DeRozan's strength has improved, his physical fitness really has an advantage in the back line.

He is not afraid of most of the second positions in the league. The Mavericks definitely don't have the few people who can suppress him.

The position of the Mavericks is actually a relatively weak link, and Zhang Sixin will definitely make good use of DeRozan now.

But then the Mavericks also scored, but the efficiency is not as strong as the Timberwolves.

Both sides are strictly guarding against core players, but other Timberwolves players are more capable of scoring.

The Mavericks also got a lot of outside opportunities, but only Kidd hit a three-pointer, and more opportunities were wasted.

But the Timberwolves' starting five were able to score, and Matthews also showed his presence from time to time.

Again, the Timberwolves' perimeter is too strong.

In the regular season, the inside line has more presence. In the game of the Western Conference Finals, it is no problem to do a good job of supporting.

In this case, the Mavericks are still doing the same thing, changing to the rotation in advance.

The difference between the Mavericks' bench and the main force is very small, so their adjustments are similar every time.

Terry and Peja came up to cooperate with Nowitzki. If it doesn't work, Nowitzki will go down and adjust. If it goes well, Nowitzki can always stand on the court.

In the Western Conference Finals, everyone will work hard, veterans and young people alike, but how long they can fight depends on the talent of each player and the strategy of the head coach.

Terry is still helpful, but the Timberwolves are just watching over Nowitzki.

To be honest, no matter how good Terry is, his lethality is not at the same level as Nowitzki.

In addition, the Mavericks have never been able to completely limit the Timberwolves' offense.

The offensive end can rush up, which is the reason why the Timberwolves have enough confidence.

In a stable offense, the Timberwolves have gradually entered the rotation.

Because DeRozan has shaken up this series, the Timberwolves' rotation is easier than in the last round.

Curry can go down to rest first and let DeRozan take the lead. Now Jeremy Lin has no problem standing up for a while. He can partner with DeRozan and Curry respectively for a while.

In this case, the two sides use their own means, but the efficiency is almost the same.

The Timberwolves are leading now, so they are in no rush.

As long as you keep an eye on the Mavericks, when the Mavericks want to try to change, there will be loopholes. At that time, the Timberwolves can take away one after another, at least to stabilize their lead.

The two sides were wary of each other and made moves against each other, but neither chose to take the risk.

After all, this is the battle of Tianwang Mountain, which is too important for the two teams.

And although the Timberwolves are leading, the gap is only a few points, not to the point of danger.

The third quarter of the game passed in a fierce and stalemate. From the end of the quarter, the atmosphere in the whole stadium felt different.

Although the two teams did not immediately show their glory, the adrenal glands of the fans watching the game were soaring.

Fans from all over the world watching the live broadcast are also nervous and excited...

"I'm so nervous, the Western Conference finals are so exciting. In previous years, it would basically be a rehearsal for the finals..."

"The Timberwolves can definitely win, leading into the final quarter, the Timberwolves are basically stable."

"But the opponent is the Mavericks. The previous games have shown that the Timberwolves are not so stable against the Mavericks."

"Let Nowitzki win this time, and the Timberwolves' young people still have a lot of opportunities."

"Hehe, when you get old, you have to abdicate. Competitive sports don't have the habit of respecting the old and loving the young. It must be the Timberwolves reaching the finals, and then Zhang Sixin and Spoelstra will fight."

"The Timberwolves will definitely win. Although Zhang Sixin's coaching time is short, his coaching ability is the best in the league. There will be no surprises when playing key games at home."

"Tch, Zhang Sixin's good luck has come to an end, the young man wants to stop and settle for a while before going further."

There are various discussions outside the court, but they all change according to the situation on the court.

Both sides are a mixed lineup with a strong offensive main bench. Nowitzki brought Terry and Barea. The Timberwolves did not replace Green, who has a better defense, at this time. Curry, DeRozan and Love are all on the court.

The two short attackers of the Mavericks were not so powerful at this time, but Curry and Love began to exert their strength, scoring consecutive points, helping the team expand its lead.

Love, who is fully rested, has already started to exert strength in the paint.

Nowitzki, who played more time, was the first to be unable to withstand the defensive end at this time, and the Mavericks had a crisis.

The Mavericks had no choice but to try a three-guard lineup.

Kidd can top the front line for a short time, and they want to run the ball better.

It's a pity that the effect is not obvious, and the Mavericks are in crisis.
