Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 301
In the game between the Timberwolves and the Heat, as soon as the second half came up, James and Wade went crazy.

The first half was not smooth enough, and they were also stimulated.

"The Heat's stars are indeed difficult to deal with. It is difficult for any team in the East to really pose a threat to them now." Zhang Sixin said.

The Big Three of the Celtics are one year older, and the competitiveness of the East is declining.

As for the Bulls, they can still play in the regular season, and they didn't suffer too much in the playoffs.

Regardless of whether there will be injuries or not, the problem of the Bulls' weak offensive end cannot be changed.

Not only is their offensive power insufficient, but their core player Rose is also a player with obvious advantages and disadvantages.

James and Wade's shots will be targeted, not to mention Rose, and he does lack qualified star helpers.

As for the other teams in the Eastern Conference, the Magic are declining, the Eagles are not good enough, the Pacers are robbed by the Timberwolves, and it is estimated that the Heat's rush from the Eastern Conference will be easier than in the original history.

Without Curry's Timberwolves, James and Wade were a bit out of rhythm when they rushed, which is normal.

But after all, it is the regular season, and the Heat will not let the Big Three play the finals for as long, so the Timberwolves must seize the rotation period.

Because of the existence of the Big Three, it is impossible for the Heat to have a strong sixth man.

In fact, apart from the Big Three, they can be said to be mediocre, whether they are starting or rotating.

It is not wishful thinking for the Timberwolves to seize the rotation period to change the situation.

Wade didn't feel good this time, so when James went down to rest, the Timberwolves easily used the rotation to overtake the score again.

In fact, the Heat were prepared in the second half, and the Timberwolves did not play the same three-point offense as in the first half.

It's just that the Heat's own offense is too hip, and the Timberwolves can get everything done with just a satisfactory performance, and the time is only 3 minutes.

A team like the Timberwolves with well-arranged offensive tactics can really change the situation on the field in a few minutes, not the type where everyone sees no change in the score for most of the quarter.

In fact, this kind of game will almost become the standard configuration of the league in a few years. Of course, it is when the defensive strength of both sides drops, and the Timberwolves play purely by tactical execution.

The Heat didn't pay attention to it yet, and as a result, George and Leonard hit three-pointers one after another. Heat coach Spoelstra was a little dumbfounded, the script is not like this.

The Timberwolves don't even have Curry, relying on a group of players who seem to be inclined to defense, how can the offense be so smooth, and how can young players Timberwolves play so well.

What makes people angry is that the Timberwolves are not only smooth offensively, but also very reliable defensively.

Wade and Bosh are both on the court for the Heat, and the offense still pulls the hips, which has more to do with the very tight defense of the Timberwolves.

Both offense and defense, when can young people integrate into the game so easily.

Unscientific, Spoelstra yelled in his heart, but for the sake of the coach's demeanor, his face just became worse and worse on the sidelines.

Spoelstra saw that the scores of the two teams had a tendency to widen, so he could only replace James.

It's just that James' coming up may not be able to completely solve the problem.

James feels unstable, and he still needs to make adjustments when he comes up.

However, after he comes up, he can create some opportunities for others. His passing is very good, and he can also attract defensive attention. The defense of others will be weaker.

This is the role of superstars. If it is an ordinary team, even if they play well, it depends on their individual status, rather than having a tactical effect at that stop.

Superstars can get the maximum salary because of this value.

"It's still the same. To defend against the opponent's breakthrough, the three-point point should be just right. If the Heat only play two points, our offense can be compared with theirs." Zhang Sixin said.

After James came up, there was another effect, that is, the Heat's defense was stronger.

James is also a player who claims to be able to defend in all positions. Of course, it is no problem to defend from the first position to the fourth position. He is now at his peak.

Therefore, after the score entered the decisive moment, the Timberwolves had to play more patiently.

Do a good job of defense and ensure a good rebound advantage, which is Zhang Sixin's requirements for players.

In the second half of the quarter, James broke through and passed the ball to Haslem, and cooperated with Wade to complete the mid-range shot, helping the Heat to bite the score.

But the Timberwolves did not persuade, DeRozan went in and scored, and Milicic also scored.

In any case, the Heat's interior is a big problem, shooting too many shots than James and Wade.

Although the Timberwolves did not play hard in rebounding this time, they still suppressed the Heat.

In the interior, Love's advantage is not obvious, but Milicic can often hit some easy shots, as is the case with his height and arm length.

Of course, Love is not afraid of James when standing against him at this time, and he will not hesitate when he has the opportunity to eat.

The Heat are now using one big, four small and double insides to repeatedly jump horizontally, because they are still weak inside when they go to Haslem, but always using James to top will also affect the offensive end.

After Love killed James once, the Heat still went to two inside lanes in the last few minutes.

In this case, they have one less three-pointer and the Timberwolves can defend more easily.

The Timberwolves are not afraid of confrontation inside, even if there is one less inside rotation.

After all, except for Whiteside, the Timberwolves' insiders are all strong men.

In the last 3 minutes, James and Wade still tried to break through inside.

It's not that they didn't learn the lessons of the finals, but the Timberwolves' defense in the finals impressed them too deeply.

But with Bosh missing a [-], the two of them started to figure things out on their own.

Wade, who was not very accurate in front, made another two-pointer.

This is the power of a star. Even if the front is unstable, he is trustworthy at critical moments.

But the Timberwolves are the defending champions, and the young people on the team are all athletes who have seen big scenes, and the opponent can't scare them just by coming a few times casually.

At the critical moment, Jeremy Lin broke through and caused Battier to foul, and the team once again stabilized the lead.

Without Curry, the Timberwolves are just blooming and winning as a team.

Of course, the players in their team are not ordinary people, not just one at the All-Star level.

With DeRozan and Love attracting the Heat's defensive attention, it is not surprising that players such as Jeremy Lin, George or Milicic can score at critical moments.

James also performed at critical moments, beating Paul George successfully 2+1, and the score gap between the two teams was even smaller.

But the Timberwolves cooperated with a high pick-and-roll, which gave George a chance to cut inside. George also rushed to the basket strongly, causing Haslem to foul.

Even if one person cannot respond directly, the Timberwolves can also respond with teamwork.

The Timberwolves in the new season already have the background of a strong team.
