Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 320 Good Civilian Team

As soon as the 76ers game started, they took out the defense they depended on to survive.

Love is in trouble when he gets stalked by this year's second-round pick, Lavoy Allen.

This fourth position who can't attack, the defense is definitely at the NBA level.

However, on the outside, DeRozan found the only relatively weak link of the 76ers' defense and ordered.

DeRozan is also good at bullying the weak. He feels that he has the same hobbies as Love, but DeRozan still has more targets to bully. Except for a few ruthless characters in the league, he can perform well.

Zhang Sixin would subconsciously feel that DeRozan may still have a little problem with the few big guys who are always unable to do it.

Although DeRozan, who was directly selected by the Timberwolves, doesn't look depressed at all, it's hard to say about his psychological quality. Some teams will be very excited when facing a ruthless character and want to fuck the opponent.

This may not have much to do with the opponent's defensive level. Anyway, DeRozan is quite fierce today.

But the 76ers also played well. None of them scored too much, but they were a team.

Holiday feels pretty good now, but it's a pity that the 76ers didn't make up their minds to train him in the end. Holiday suffered injuries and repeated injuries, which can be regarded as a late bloomer.

But he entered the All-Star quite early. It is estimated that the 76ers are worried that this buddy will be the same as Iguodala, not a leader.

This 76ers has a strong rotation.

Lu Wei, Thaddeus Young, and Evan Turner and Vucevic, the 76ers actually have a lot of good players, but they are not satisfied with all the trades, and then they will do all kinds of bad things until talented young people appear.

If you don't think about it, you can't go up or down, and make up your mind, it's the way to go in the NBA.

A league that is not relegated, has good seedlings from all over the world, and it is really difficult for rich people to lose money investing in a team.

In the first half, whether it was the main lineup or the substitute lineup, both sides played inextricably.

In addition to DeRozan for the Timberwolves, Jeremy Lin also played well, and the two can be regarded as a weakened version of the backcourt.

"Against a team like the 76ers, we must play our own offense," Zhang Sixin said.

To be honest, the Timberwolves' defense is already very good. The 76ers didn't hit a three-pointer in the first half, but they still bit the score.

The Timberwolves don't pay much attention to the long two-point defense, but for this 76ers, it seems to be their more common weapon.

Therefore, the Timberwolves must restrict their opponents more, or they cannot be entangled with each other on the offensive end.

In terms of the strength of the team, the offensive end should indeed be better.

However, it is indeed difficult for the Timberwolves to face a good defensive team. The All-Stars of the major teams are not super-level. Zhang Sixin looks forward to Curry's comeback after the All-Star Weekend.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves started to get tough. Love and Milicic made an internal pass to force Lavoy Allen, and Pekovic did the same when he came up. The four insiders on the court, that is, Whiteside, did not have this kind of strength.

The Timberwolves did not play so resolutely in the first half. After the previous duel, the Timberwolves felt that the 76ers' inside line was relatively weak.

As long as he gets a deeper position, Lavoy Allen really can't defend. He can only choose to foul in many cases, which caused the 76ers to replace Vucevic in advance.

It's just that the current Vucevic is different from the Swiss who has fully adapted to the NBA. He is relatively thinner now, so although he is taller, he still can't stop the powerful inside of the Timberwolves.

In terms of strength, the Timberwolves' inside line can be said to be unique.

The inside line suffers in the confrontation, and when troubled by fouls, the 76ers can only choose more outside shots on the offensive end.

After Brand's failure here, they already lacked offensive power in the interior, and now they are even more embarrassed.

As for the outside line, whether it is Iguodala or Holiday, they are not so stable. Their offense is not as good as their defense.

As a result, the Timberwolves began to gradually gain the upper hand.

"Our unilateral ability may not be top-notch, but our comprehensive ability is strong, and we can always target the opponent's weaknesses. This is the art of tactical planning." Zhang Sixin snorted.

Everyone in the coaching staff is convinced that Zhang Sixin is good at using tactics to target, and he can be called a master.

In fact, in training, more tactics are carried out by members of the coaching staff. They have a better understanding of many tactics than Zhang Sixin, but when it comes to specific opponent games, Zhang Sixin is even better.

No one is dissatisfied, because Zhang Sixin has created miracles since the beginning of his coaching career.

The 76ers still played well during the rotation period and brought blood back to the team.

Lu Wei's sharp offense is really useful in tight defense.

His average playing time per game is less than that of the 76ers who scored in double figures, and he can also rank first in the team per game, which can explain his scoring efficiency.

It's just that the defense is too good, and the 76ers coach Collison doesn't want to use him very much.

The 76ers in the rotation lineup bit the score, but after the main lineup played again, they were abused again.

It's just that the offense is not good, and the team's tactical core is difficult to score.

Holiday was better and dared to make a move, but Iguodala had no idea of ​​making a move at all.

In this case, they can only keep Lu Wei on the court to increase scoring points.

As for the insider who couldn't do it in the first place, only Brand was left.

In this case, Le Fu broke out directly.

Love is still relatively good at bullying the weak. Without an insider, Love is blooming inside and outside, directly helping the Timberwolves expand their lead to more than 5 points.

As I said a long time ago, 5 points is nothing to an attacking team, but to a defensive team, it is a natural moat that cannot be passed.

The 76ers couldn't score in the last few minutes, and it's useless to keep Lu Wei on the court. He doesn't have as many possessions as he did during the rotation, and anyone in the backcourt of the Timberwolves can beat him, which is even more miserable.

With Holiday missing a three-pointer, the Timberwolves won the game.

To be honest, this is already a relatively difficult game for the Timberwolves, but at the last moment, the 76ers still couldn't pose much threat to the Timberwolves.

After the game, 76ers coach Collins also said helplessly: "We have tried our best, but they performed better."

After the game, the Timberwolves rushed to Denver to play back-to-back the next day.

The Nuggets are still one of the fringe players in the Western Conference playoffs, but unlike many teams that have lost their core and must be rebuilt, they played well without Anthony.

Nuggets coach George Karl does have a set of offense. The team can play a beautiful offense without an All-Star, which is an example for many teams to learn from.

It is a pity that in the playoffs, no matter whether it is a strong offense or a strong defense, it is difficult to go further without star players.
