Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 296
Zhang Sixin held Yang Yuyu in his arms and danced for a while. The dance between the two of them was normal, but the atmosphere was up.

Yang Yuyu's many days of fatigue seemed to be swept away, her heart was full of joy and a little excited, but the matter exceeded her expectations, which made her unable to sort it out in a short time, making her look a little naive.

This look is much more charming than the usual bluffing look, Zhang Sixin couldn't help lowering his head.

The surrounding service girls and the band withdrew in an orderly manner, and the rest of the time belonged to the two-person world.

Zhang Sixin took Yang Yuyu's hand, came to the dining table, and said softly, "Try how it tastes."

Yang Yuyu picked up the dessert she liked very much and beamed with joy after tasting it.

"It's really... really good, which restaurant here did you order?"

The corner of Zhang Sixin's mouth curled up, and he said, "The specially hired chef, as long as you like it. Then, can you be my girlfriend?"

Yang Yuyu nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly realized, she whispered shyly, "You're just an inducement, so it doesn't count."

"Then I don't care, you are mine after eating my food." Zhang Sixin pecked her face again.

Yang Yuyu blushed, "Hmph, it's cheap for you."

The two had a comfortable few days at the manor, and Yang Yuyu spent this holiday very comfortably.

Zhang Sixin did not leave for the rest of the time, and he temporarily lived with Yang Yuyu.

The two just started dating, so it was naturally sweet, and Yang Yuyu became more passionate about her work.

The NBA has come to a standstill, and the labor and management sides have been unable to reach an agreement. The new season will definitely not start on time.And during this period of time, the teams are still unable to work, so Zhang Sixin's life is still very easy.

He's not a player, either, and doesn't need to worry about the future or stay in shape.

In addition to participating in some business activities, he stayed with his girlfriend in New York until the lockout ended in late November.

Due to the limited time, the new season has been negotiated to have 66 games at most, and the preseason will be reduced to two games.

In December, the Timberwolves all meet in Minnesota.

Although the time is tight, the tradition cannot be changed. On the first day, Zhang Sixin took everyone to a happy dinner party to exchange feelings.

For the three rookies, Zhang Sixin is quite satisfied.

All of them have excellent physical fitness. Thomas Jr. and Leonard's three-pointers are also good. Although Leonard's skills are a little rough now, don't be impressed. He can be used as a 3D player directly. Only Butler is slightly worse, but he will not mess around in the game. It is a bit like Green before.

Zhang Sixin also told Leonard and Butler to practice three-pointers and defense first.

As for Thomas Jr., defensive awareness needs to be practiced, but he must be on the court as a supplementary firepower. Everyone has a different position.

"If you can help the team, you will get a chance, and you will know by watching your seniors."

"Playing in the Timberwolves, as long as you work hard, you can get a lot. So, keep up with the team."

This season, the Timberwolves have enough guards, and Sun Yue went to the Trail Blazers on a two-year contract.

Originally, Zhang Sixin also considered Ah Lian, but considering the insider and training Whiteside, Ah Lian was already in contact with the Mavericks, so he didn't really take any action.

On December 12, the Timberwolves ushered in the first game of the preseason.

Curry is still recovering, so in addition to changing Paul George to the third position in the starting lineup, Jeremy Lin was also replaced at the first position, which is similar to what the outside world guessed.

Their opponent is the Bucks. The strength of the Bucks has not changed much in the past few years, but the Timberwolves are already the defending champions, and the Bucks can no longer fight against the current Timberwolves.

The Bucks resisted for a while in the first quarter, and were completely blown away in the second quarter.

Love broke out and killed the Quartet, DeRozan was unstoppable, and it is normal for the Bucks to be unstoppable.

There is also an upgraded version of Paul George, who can do Bogut's Milicic inside, and the bench is even more fierce.

In the preseason, Zhang Sixin gave the three rookies more opportunities.

Thomas Jr. was the brightest. This guy is a scorer and has no fear.

Although not tall, his physical fitness is amazing.

In fact, he has proved in college that he can fight against big men, but everyone does not know whether he can adapt to the NBA, so there is no candidate in front of him.

Facts have proved that he will at least have no problem scoring in the NBA, and he easily scored in double figures this time.

The words of Leonard and Butler didn't show much.

Leonard still played a few times, but the efficiency was not very good, and he was still adapting.

But it can be seen that his physical fitness and static talent are really good, that is, his touch has not been adjusted well.

Butler is dedicated to defending, that is, defending, and basically doesn't take much shots.

In this preseason game, the Timberwolves showed no mercy and beat the Bucks by 40 points.

Bucks coach Skiles blushed, thinking that the Timberwolves were too embarrassing in the preseason.

Zhang Sixin expressed his innocence. He even let a group of rookies fight on it. Who knew that the Bucks couldn't even stand up to rookies.

A few days later, the Timberwolves will play the second preseason game against the Bucks, and the Bucks feel that they need to save some face.

The Bucks are a very good defensive team. Although they didn't make the playoffs last season, they wanted to find a way on the offensive end this season, but they can indeed defend.

If the Timberwolves don't give face, they decide to fight again to lock the Timberwolves' offense.

The Bucks made some efforts in the summer and got players such as Dunleavy and Stephen Jackson, but these players still cannot fundamentally change the team, so the Bucks can only rely on defense if they want to fight the Timberwolves hard.

Without Curry, they still have a small hope.

After all, in the preseason, the Timberwolves will not be so serious.

The Bucks also put on a starting lineup with both offense and defense, just like they did on the field.

Their offense and defense are different from strong teams, that is, offensive players are mainly responsible for offense, and defensive players are mainly responsible for defense.

They let the defensive player Mbah a Moute with little offensive ability start, and then let the offensive ability Gooden and Ilyasova provide firepower on the bench.

In fact, this arrangement is fine. Although the Bucks don't have an All-Star, they have more players. They actually have a chance in the East, but they obviously can't face the Timberwolves.

The Bucks held back the Timberwolves' offensive pace by relying on their defensive efforts, but Love was still unstoppable. The Bucks' weak link in the fourth position was too obvious, which activated Love's abusive attributes.

Then, the Timberwolves took the lead by practicing again.

The only difference may be that it is not as bad as playing.

Defense alone can't beat the Timberwolves, because the Timberwolves' defense is also very good.

The Bucks' defensive efforts also drove the Timberwolves' defense. The Timberwolves basically prevented their opponents from scoring.

It can only be said that the Bucks' offense is really bad, and Jennings feels more and more lifeless.

No way, this buddy is at the quasi-All-Star level, and his personal ability cannot drive the offense of a defensive team.

The Timberwolves' preseason was just a little practice.
