Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 310 Contradiction
"Joe Johnson made another hit, and the Eagles persevered in the game."

"Love made damage at the basket, and Josh Smith still couldn't stand it."

"Willie Green made a shot and an assist from Teague. Although time is running out, the Eagles still have a chance. They are working hard."

"Oh, Jeremy Lin hit a three-pointer! This ball can be said to have killed the game."

In Atlanta, the Timberwolves continued their winning streak and have won 12 games in a row at the start of the new season.

Zhang Sixin once again told the media that they are not pursuing a winning streak, they just play every game seriously.

The Timberwolves' winning streak has not yet come to an end. After they returned home, they faced the weak chickens in the West.

The Kings are still cultivating young people this season, but their head coach Keith Smart is really not good, and the team's offense and defense are terrible.

Obviously they have talented players recognized by the outside world, but they have not surprised anyone since the new season.

Evans and Cousins, two young players, many people think will be the king's future combination of inside and outside.

It's just that Evans feels more and more back, Cousins' efficiency as an insider is a bit unstable, and the Kings now have an extra show-stealing Thornton on the outside. The Kings look very lively, but it is very difficult to win.

Not to mention that the king seemed to play smoothly at the beginning of the competition, that is, the defense was basically not, and was mad by Lin Shuhao and Lefu for a while.

The king's group is really not good at playing, which fully reflects what is going on when they are good and alone, and their performance is not as good as that of the bench players.

So the Timberwolves settled the battle in three quarters, and Jeremy Lin and Love also scored 60 points together.

Two days later, the Timberwolves faced the weak chickens who came to challenge again at home.

Zhang Sixin feels that at the beginning of the season, it seems that many teams in the East can give up.

This year's Eastern Conference is really overwhelmed, and the strengths and weaknesses are too obvious.

The Pistons were also a year to train their rookies. They also found that Stuckey had no future, and they wanted a guard on draft night.

Knight is actually good, but the high pick is still not so cost-effective, or the Pistons are afraid that they are not very good at cultivating rookies.

The Pistons are now also difficult to score. The strongest point is the second-year Monroe, but Monroe is not difficult to limit.

They don't have any three-point ability, so the Timberwolves can restrict their opponents as long as they shrink their defense.

In the first half, the Pistons relied on Prince's unexpected good touch to bite the score, but in the second half, they couldn't handle it with the naked eye.

At the critical moment, when the Pistons can only rely on Ben Gordon to throw around, it is naturally difficult to match the Timberwolves.

Therefore, the Timberwolves took the opponent lightly when the substitute players made efforts and hit consecutive three-pointers.

In this way, the Timberwolves have already won 14 consecutive victories.

"It's worthy of being the defending champion, and I haven't lost a game until now."

"It's shocking that the Timberwolves are going strong again with Curry on the sidelines."

"Coach Zhang Sixin is strong. I think no matter what players are under him, he will quickly become stronger. Have you noticed? The young people selected by the Timberwolves have stayed in the NBA and played well."

"The Timberwolves' youngsters have also become All-Stars, and this season may increase again."

"Zhang Sixin is the god of coaches, leading a group of young players to beat the entire league."

The team's good record benefits everyone in the team, and Zhang Sixin's reputation is also increasing day by day.

As the Internet became more and more developed, Zhang Sixin was quickly known by more people, including some people who were not fans.

Therefore, even as the head coach, Zhang Sixin's commercial value is not cheap.

However, the Timberwolves, who have even cut chickens, are about to usher in back-to-back away games.

Two days later, they went to Los Angeles to play against the Clippers.

This season, the Clippers traded for Paul and signed Caron Butler and Billups, with a strong lineup.

However, the Clippers' performance was not as good as fans expected.

Neither Paul nor Griffin are considered top scorers, and the Clippers are still a little bit behind.

But the Clippers are like a new strong team in the West. After all, they have two All-Stars and some veterans with combat effectiveness.

It's just that Paul and Butler on the Clippers' side were unable to play in this game, and some other role players suffered minor injuries.

However, the Clippers are not very weak without Paul. The Clippers still have Billups and Mo as guards this season, and there are also many players.

In the first quarter of the game, Timberwolves veteran Foye performed well.

It's been so long, but Foye is still motivated to fight the Timberwolves, and he probably has become a habit.

Love and Griffin are in a situation of consuming each other. They are two All-Stars of similar level, and they are both more eye-catching.

Milicic, on the other hand, Zhang Sixin didn't expect, he beat Jordan right away.

Jordan's strength is not bad now, it should be that Milicic is in good condition.

Jordan is more explosive, but he may not be as powerful as Milicic. With the support of the Timberwolves' tactical system, it is not surprising that he suffers.

Because Billups also played well in the first position, the main players of both sides came back and forth after the start.

But during this rotation period, the Timberwolves suffered a disadvantage.

Maurice Williams' unreasonable shot helped the Clippers take the lead.

Unexpectedly, without Paul, the personal scoring ability of the Clippers players was activated instead.

This is not surprising. Paul is strong in rhythm, but sometimes holding the ball too much will hinder his team's offensive fluency. Everything has advantages and disadvantages, depending on which aspect is the main one.

The Clippers are strong now if they play smoothly. If the Timberwolves' defense persists, the opponent will expose their weak links.

By the second quarter, the Timberwolves gradually adapted to the Clippers' rhythm and began to take the initiative on the court.

The outside line is now basically concentrated on the outside, and the efficiency of the inside line is relatively low. The substitute inside line can only be ravaged, that is, the halftime break comes in time, otherwise the Timberwolves are likely to come from behind and achieve a lead.

But even so, how the Clippers maintain their state in the second half is also a problem.

After all, they took the lead in the first half by relying on the superb performance of the bench lineup. Facing the defense of the Timberwolves, it is basically impossible to replicate the same thing in the second half.

"We have to do our own thing well, and let go of both offense and defense, but we can't underestimate our opponents. In any game, I hope to see everyone can concentrate on the court and play a wonderful game." Zhang Sixin said to the players.

Even if Zhang Sixin's words have no additional effect, the Timberwolves players are willing to obey.

In the second half, the mental outlook of the Timberwolves was a little different.

With an unbeaten start, the Timberwolves players were a little excited, but at the same time a little mentally fatigued.

Contradictory performance is not conflict, and players are also complex individuals.

But it is still not easy to defeat them.
