Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 280 The First Western Championship

Zhang Sixin watched the situation on the field intently, and he was also very nervous now.

There must be risks in a decisive battle with an opponent in advance, and the Timberwolves also made a capital investment.

If this game is not won, the seventh game is really hard to say.

At the critical moment, Marion had a taste of returning to his peak. When Nowitzki was flanked, he hit the basket again.

Before that kind of thing was done by Terry, but now he feels good, the ball is in his hands.

Kidd is still very good at distributing the ball, and the Mavericks' offense is organized by him in an orderly manner.

Of course, it's useless to be organized if you can't score.

Milicic was unable to assist in the defense and was challenged by Marion to score 2+1.

Marion also hit the key free throw, and Zhang Sixin heard his own breathing. Now the Timberwolves can no longer make mistakes.

The player he has always believed in, give the answer he wants.

The Timberwolves still attacked from the pick-and-roll, and Curry passed DeRozan in seconds, and the latter also challenged the opponent's inside line like Marion.

DeRozan is not as good as Curry, but he is still proud and fearless.

Chandler came over to help defend, but he was a little helpless against DeRozan's bounce.

DeRozan did not score 2+1, but Chandler committed six fouls.

DeRozan stood on the free throw line without worry, and made two free throws steadily.

Under the training of Zhang Sixin, the young people of the Timberwolves are basically big-hearted.

Looking back, the Mavericks did not continue to let Marion attack.

Milicic is still on the court, and the success rate of two consecutive challenges is too low.

The point is, the game has entered the last tens of seconds, and the Mavericks habitually want Nowitzki to attack.

In order to catch the ball, Nowitzki circled out from the baseline, and Haywood, who had just come up, helped block people.

Kidd, on the other hand, is responsible for passing the ball to Nowitzki just right.

But at this time, the Timberwolves' defense was very flexible. Wherever Nowitzki ran, the Timberwolves players next to him would come and attack.

Kidd still passed the ball to Nowitzki, which is his famous ability.

But the Timberwolves' flanking attack immediately caught up, and Nowitzki turned around and shot without any time to adjust.

Zhang Sixin felt that the sound of the basketball hitting the rim was very pleasant.

Matthews took off the rebound, Zhang Sixin gave the players a gesture not to rush, and Curry began to control the time.

That's right, after a few rounds, the time is only 23 seconds left before you know it.

The rest of the time, the Timberwolves can control the ball until the end of the game.

Of course, the Mavericks wouldn't be watching them do it, but the Mavericks didn't immediately foul either.

They pressed forward and hoped that the Timberwolves' youngsters would make mistakes.

Zhang Sixin has emphasized the handling of the ball at critical moments many times in his usual training. After Curry made mistakes in the regular season, he has been corrected, and now he dare not take it lightly.

With the tacit cooperation among the players, the Mavericks' press failed, and they were almost scored directly by the Timberwolves.

It's just that the Timberwolves only need to control the time, and they just scare the opponent when they see a defensive loophole, and they don't take the risk of rushing in.

When there were only 13 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks finally couldn't help fouling.

If they continue to defend, the Mavericks are not confident that they will cause the Timberwolves to make mistakes. Instead, they will have no time to counterattack, so they can only choose to foul.

Curry made a steady free throw, and then Nowitzki missed a three-pointer, and the Mavericks fouled again.

It was a dull and uninteresting final moment, but fans all over the world were watching the live broadcast intently.

They all want to see the team they support win, and it doesn't matter whether the game is boring at this time.

The most eye-catching thing in competitive sports is not the beautiful style of play, but the victory.

"Zhang Sixin is the league's tactical master, and the Timberwolves' tactics have always been aimed at the Mavericks. Carlisle is also a tactical master, but he has been coaching for many years and has been figured out.

"Obviously, the Timberwolves coached by Zhang Sixin are stronger, and the Mavericks can only pray for a miracle now. It's just that the Timberwolves never make low-level mistakes at the last moment. Their young people don't seem to know what nervousness is, and there is not much time left for the Mavericks."

The explanations supporting Zhang Sixin were neutral on the surface, but in fact, they all went to grandma's house.

But this buddy is right, the Mavericks really can't turn the tables.

When the Mavericks missed a three-pointer again, Zhang Sixin finally breathed a sigh of relief with a smile on his face.

After a chaotic rebound, the Mavericks hit two, but the game was over.

The Timberwolves defeated the powerful Mavericks 4:2 in the series and became the new Western Conference champion.

The Timberwolves' playoff history has also been refreshed again. This is their first Western Conference championship trophy.

The head coach of the Mavericks congratulated the Timberwolves after the game. He praised: "This group of young people is incredible. They are the present and the future."

The opponent left the game sadly, even in the away game, the Timberwolves are the most shining now.

Zhang Sixin told reporters: "This is so exciting. I am very excited to make history with the Timberwolves. This is a wonderful day and it is worth celebrating, but this is not the end. Our goal is not just that. I am already thinking about the finals. We have to move on."

He also expressed respect for the Mavericks, "They played very well, whether it is physical confrontation or fighting spirit, it is unbelievable. Since this year's playoffs, I think this series is the most difficult. They have made several very powerful adjustments and strengthened the attack efficiency, which made us passive for a while. Our morale was once contained, but our players have withstood the pressure, which is great. Of course, we still have a lot to do."

Curry said after the game: "We don't care who we meet in the finals. Our goal is to win 4 more games. This is a very special opportunity. We will go all out without any scruples. This is what it means to play in the NBA."

Love said: "We are the best team at the critical moment. Now this Timberwolves, we trust each other and are very united. I believe we will be successful this year."

On the other hand, in the Eastern Conference Finals, the Heat defeated the Bulls 4:1 in the series, making the Timberwolves their last opponent.

In the finals of the Western Conference, the strengths of the two teams in the Eastern Conference are relatively clear.

The top defensive Bulls can't limit the Heat's Big Three.

They won Game [-] with James and Wade missing outside shots and Rose shooting well, but that turned out to be an accident.

Next, the defensive ability shown by the Heat made the Bulls desperate, because the Bulls themselves lacked offensive power and Rose's shooting was not good.

The point is, Rose can't stand alone, and because Bosh is facing Boozer, the weakness of the Bulls' defense, the Bulls can't even restrain one of the Big Three, so there is no suspense in the result.
