Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 311 The New Jazz
At the beginning of the second half, the Timberwolves' defensive intensity was upgraded.

The Clippers were completely constrained, and even if Maurice Williams was replaced soon, it was useless.

Xiao Mo had a good touch in the first half, but under normal circumstances, he is just an attacking guard with no physical advantages. It is not difficult for the Timberwolves to restrict.

On Griffin's side, it seems that Love really can't play very well.

Therefore, the Clippers' offense can only rely on the veteran Billups.

The offense of the Timberwolves was no different from the first half. They had a lot of offense, and even if Griffin tried his best to hold Love back, it would not work.

No one in the Clippers can hold DeRozan now, and Paul George can also play one from time to time.

By the time the Clippers discovered something was wrong, the Timberwolves had already caught up with the score.

In this case, the Clippers lost confidence more and more.

"There are too many injuries this season. I think as long as we keep our players healthy, the regular season will be very easy." Zhang Sixin said.

Ron Adams agreed: "The strength of our current team is indeed guaranteed. Without injuries, there are not many teams that can pose a threat to us."

At the end of the quarter, the Clippers couldn't even get Billups.

With the exhaustion of physical strength and the tight defense of the Timberwolves, the Clippers really have nothing to do.

But the Timberwolves are very stable, crushing their opponents in two-point and three-point efficiency.

There is no way, at this time the Clippers players are a little frustrated.

They comforted themselves that the Timberwolves could not be restricted because of the disorganized lineup, but they did not think about the disorganized lineup of the Timberwolves.

With Jeremy Lin and Love hitting three-pointers successively, the game was settled.

Love, who easily scored a double-double again, said after the game: "In some games, we missed a lot of shots, but our defense played a role, and our execution at critical moments was also in place, so we gave ourselves a chance to win."

"And this game, we relied on offense to have the last laugh. If we stick to it, we can win a lot of games that need to be decided in the final quarter. There is no doubt that we have this ability."

The undefeated golden body continues, and the Timberwolves continue to play back-to-back away games.

They then went to Utah, and the Jazz didn't make any big moves in the summer. They just signed some cheap veterans to assist the team's young people.

Millsap, Hayward, Harris, Favors, and the newly selected No. [-] pick Kanter.

However, the Jazz started to perform well, and players such as Millsap and Hayward performed well.

So they don't feel that the display is bad yet, they can only see the situation first.

Thinking back to when I spent more money, the record was mediocre. Now that the team does not have tens of millions of annual salary, but they are playing well, the Jazz management is probably a little confused.

At the beginning of the game, Jazz player Millsap performed well and even suppressed Love.

Obviously, back-to-back away games have some impact on the state of the Timberwolves players.

This also led to the fact that the Timberwolves' insiders couldn't take advantage of it, and the Jazz's young insiders did perform well. Kanter and Favors can both play well.

Relatively speaking, the Timberwolves' perimeter defense is more stable.

The inside line may have been magnified by the weakness of slow footsteps due to fatigue, so the Jazz and a group of young people got more opportunities.

"In fact, the Jazz's defense is not good, but our players are a little tired." Zhang Sixin said.

Love's efficiency is a bit low, but DeRozan, Paul George, and wing players such as Green and Leonard on the bench are all performing well.

It's just that the Jazz also performed well on the offensive end, and the substitute Miles and others also feel good.

This also led to the Timberwolves' relatively stable offense and defense, and did not gain an advantage.

"The Jazz feel good today, but their outside shots are actually not that stable." Zhang Sixin said.

"However, as long as we continue to play steadily, we can definitely find good opportunities."

The Jazz, which is also dominated by young people, cannot be stable all the time, and in the second half, the Timberwolves will habitually exert force, and the state of the players will be different.

Millsap had to find a way to kill this point in the second half, but the others didn't care. The Jazz now scored more points, but it wasn't because of the background of a strong team like the Timberwolves, but because they couldn't find a few people who could be used as facades. In other words, their current players were not good enough.

In the third quarter, Millsap didn't have much performance.

In fact, he didn't perform that much in the second quarter. After all, as long as Love keeps people in check, and Milicic helps defend properly, Millsap won't have many opportunities.

However, the Jazz players are very tenacious. Their veteran Raja Bell suddenly came and felt like hitting consecutive hits. In fact, Raja Bell is no longer an outstanding 3D player when he was young, but as a veteran, sometimes he can rejuvenate for a few minutes and help the team.

With such a small outbreak, it is difficult for the Timberwolves' defense to be in place in time.

"Don't worry." Zhang Sixin gestured to the players on the field.

The Timberwolves do have plans to push the Jazz down in the third quarter, but even if an accident fails, they are capable of ending the battle in the final quarter.

The Timberwolves are very strong in the last quarter. What they have to do is not to be disturbed by accidents and give each other more opportunities.

The Timberwolves players may be younger and less experienced, but as the defending champions, they can still stabilize, as long as Zhang Sixin reminds them in time.

When it comes to the rotation period, the Jazz is still competing with the Timberwolves. Today, the Jazz, whether young or veteran, played well against the Timberwolves.

Maybe there is no pressure. This kind of team with no big names and many young people is easy to lose their record, but there is also a probability of playing a good game together.

The young players trained by the Jazz are not the type that need to hold the ball for a long time, which may also be the reason why they have some surprises this season.

But at the end of the quarter, teams without big names have a common problem. When a player needs to stand up, who should they give the ball to?
The Timberwolves also had a little bit of this problem when Curry was out.

Why a little, because the Timberwolves still have All-Star players, and their tactical execution is stronger than those teams that focus on teamwork.

Therefore, Zhang Sixin can safely arrange tactics in the final stage of the game, give the ball to someone in good condition, or continue to play conventional tactics. Other teams do not have this condition.

With Jeremy Lin and DeRozan hitting three-pointers successively, the Timberwolves finally gained an advantage of more than 5 points, while the Jazz encountered trouble in the last 5 minutes.

They had no other choice but to give the ball to their best player, Millsap, when the Timberwolves defense was ready.
