Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 305
"This three-pointer is beautiful!" Seeing DeRozan's decisive shot, Zhang Sixin clapped his hands.

Most players' three-pointers can still be practiced. DeRozan's original history is definitely a psychological factor. Otherwise, how could players with good physical fitness and excellent mid-range shots not be able to shoot three-pointers.

Now under Zhang Sixin's request, DeRozan's three-point shooting percentage has increased by [-]%.

He may never reach Curry's level, but at least he won't be targeted in the future.

To be honest, it's weird that Parker cries every time he beats the Timberwolves and doesn't work hard to practice three-pointers.

Of course, there will be even more exotic players in the future. It is not surprising that Zhang Sixin is well-informed.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves gradually played a rhythm, but without an explosion, the time of the quarter was still a bit short, so at the end of the first half, the Grizzlies relied on Allen's shot in the counterattack to keep the lead.

However, the Timberwolves have found a way, and the Grizzlies can't hold it in the second half as usual.

During the intermission, Zhang Sixin also told the players that the Grizzlies didn't have a three-pointer, and they just needed to stabilize their defense in the second half.

For a team with poor three-pointers, with the defensive ability of the Timberwolves, it should not be too easy to lock up.

The first half was not done, mainly due to the slow start of the offensive end.

In the third quarter, Love began to play normally, beating his opponent.

He can shoot from the outside, and the opponent can't resist him inside. In fact, he is very easy to play.

In the first quarter, the outside shot was not made. The Grizzlies' rookie contracted the defense to limit Love. Now that the Timberwolves are playing normally on the outside, the Grizzlies' defense cannot be comprehensive.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies were completely defenseless by the Timberwolves.

Rudy Gay is not good anymore. This guy has excellent physical fitness and singles skills but the reason why he can't become an All-Star is because he doesn't have many tricks and can't make his teammates better.

When Gay doesn't score, the rest of the Grizzlies are also choking.

Conley is now more used to assisting, while Gasol is more inclined to defend.

Moreover, facing the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies can't play in the paint without Randolph.

The Timberwolves have both offense and defense. Their performance may fluctuate in a certain quarter, but when extended to a game, the Timberwolves' performance will not be bad.

For a strong team to defeat them, they must have enough strength and perform well enough.

The strength of the Grizzlies is still a bit weak, and they have not played exaggeratedly. After the Timberwolves adapted to the opponent's defensive strength, it is normal to gradually control the game.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves almost crushed their opponents, but the Grizzlies did not give up, they were very resilient.

Zhang Sixin knows that in the next few seasons, the Grizzlies will be the spoilers in the West. They don't have particularly strong stars, but they are full of resilience.

Entering the rotation period, the Grizzlies did not continue to be passively beaten.

Because Mayo began to show off his power, Zhang Sixin also sighed a little when he saw Mayo's performance. This buddy is also a talented player, but because of various willingness to play worse, he did not fulfill his talent.

There are many such players in the NBA. As the head coach of the defending champion, Zhang Sixin naturally has the capital to look at similar players with a high regard.

Mayo caused a little trouble for the Timberwolves during the rotation period, but he couldn't really have a big impact on the outcome of the game.

The Timberwolves' bench lineup is also playing well, and Bledsoe's performance is getting better and better.

Zhang Sixin remembers that the team had no guards in the first season, and now even when Curry is on truce, the Timberwolves guards have happy troubles.

As long as the NBA can open its eyes, it can replenish a large number of good players by relying on the draft, saving money and trouble.

At the end of the quarter, Jeremy Lin, DeRozan, Love, and George worked together, and the Grizzlies' defense took care of one thing and lost another, fully realizing the huge gap between them and the Timberwolves.

Except that Milicic was not so comfortable meeting Gasol Jr., in other positions, it is difficult for a defensive strongman like Allen and a quasi-All-Star like Gay to completely hold down the opposing Timberwolves players.

The players are strong and the team has a high level of tactics. The Timberwolves, who have become a strong team, are hard to mess with.

In the final quarter, the Grizzlies actually played very well against the first and fourth juniors, and they were very successful in several inside cuts.

It's just that they replaced more outside players, but there were no three-pointers on the outside. For the Timberwolves, it is better to limit them. For example, Love, who is not very good at assisting defense, sent out three caps.

So although the Grizzlies played well and didn't give up at all, they were still fucked by the Timberwolves.

Their offense really couldn't break through the Timberwolves' defense.

Killing the Grizzlies with an uneven lineup is no surprise.

But in the next game, the Timberwolves almost overturned the underdog.

After James left, the Cavaliers became the weakest bottom team, and they got their wish and won the No. [-] pick.

Their high pick this year is not just the No. [-] pick Irving, but also the No. [-] pick Tristan Thompson.

But they have no other actions, and there is no doubt that they will continue their career as a weak chicken team.

But they were a little surprised at the beginning, because Irving did have the No. [-] pick. Although he is not the kind of talent, he is indeed not bad.

The team feels like it is thriving. Of course, this is just a false impression. Some teams can charge a few rounds at the beginning without the opponent knowing, and then show their true colors. It should be said that they are not strong enough.

The Timberwolves have a great inside advantage. Love and Milicic played very well at the beginning, but the Cavaliers' outside shooting entered the state faster.

Irving broke through the pass and scored, looking full of aura.

And throughout the first half, he showed good efficiency, shooting decisively and passing the ball well. There was nothing wrong with him except for a little more turnovers.

The Cavaliers' rotation lineup also performed well, and outside players such as Sessions, Gibson, and Alonzo Key dared to make shots.

As a weak team, the Cavaliers are not strong enough on the offensive end and have little motivation on defense, but when players shoot accurately, it still makes people feel a little troublesome.

Of course, the Timberwolves also performed well here.

It's just that the back and forth with the weak chicken team seems to be a bit inconsistent with the previous image of the game.

When it's time to stop, the Timberwolves intend to target Irving.

The brand-new state still needs to be tempered, and it will be completely useless if it is targeted by the Timberwolves.

But the Cavaliers were a little tricky. When Irving couldn't do it, Jamison stood up and scored consecutively inside and outside the line, but the Timberwolves didn't take advantage.

In this game, the two sides played until the last moment of the game. At the critical moment, Love scored 2+1 against Jamison and hit a three-pointer to help the Timberwolves win the game in a thrilling manner.

The Cavaliers had a chance until the last moment, but Irving made a mistake.

Being forced to 9 turnovers by the Timberwolves shows that Irving still has a long way to go in the NBA.

Of course, with his offensive power, he was almost at the quasi-All-Star level.
