Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 322 Lazy Weekend

Whether the Timberwolves' problems in the first half have been resolved, the answer is yes.

The Jazz played well in the first half. In fact, there is an X factor. The swingman Josh Howard they introduced in the summer feels very good.

But Howard is now far behind his peak. It is accidental that he plays well. To put it bluntly, the role player hits one or two good shots, and the opponent's defensive attention still does not look at him.

Pay more attention to the defense in the third quarter, and Josh Howard is gone.

In addition, the Timberwolves were stronger inside in the second half.

If they rely on strength to bully people, the Timberwolves are not only strong in rebounding, but also have a strong scoring ability in the penalty area. Love's internal pass is very useful.

Love can have many choices in high position support, and he can also do it. So in terms of tactics alone, Love can be said to be the first core. It's just that NBA strong teams often don't use tactics in the playoffs and directly look at the performance of stars, so Love is still not as important as Curry.

The Timberwolves overtook the score in the third quarter, and their rotation quickly expanded their lead.

During the Jazz rotation period, not only the offense had problems, but also the defense. The Timberwolves made consecutive three-pointers, which directly made the Jazz players desperate.

The Jazz trains young players, and their ups and downs in the game are actually quite big.

They are a normal young team model, not very stable on both ends of the offense and defense.

After the main lineups of both sides entered the field, Jeremy Lin continued to exert his strength and helped the team win the opponent in one fell swoop.

In this way, the Timberwolves players can enjoy the All-Star weekend with a good mood.

Orlando is a good place, Minnesota is still cold in winter, but the climate is pleasant.

However, Zhang Sixin, who took the mission this time, did not go there ahead of time.

After the game, Zhang Sixin took a good rest at home for two days.

The general manager of the team, David Kahn, stared at the trading market, but Zhang Sixin didn't care.

With the strength of the Timberwolves, don't care about some team changes in the middle of the season, and it is impossible for another Big Three team to appear.

Zhang Sixin didn't care about work, and he didn't go to Orlando to play. This time, Yang Yuyu couldn't be together is also one of the reasons.

Yang Yuyu is working now and doesn't have as much time as before.

The annual leave is not worth it now, and I can have more fun with Zhang Sixin in summer.

Zhang Sixin and Ye Yang Yuyu talked about work. In fact, she can do things that are easier now, but Zhang Sixin still respects his girlfriend's choice, and he should not leave regrets when he is young.

Of course, Yang Yuyu is not a workaholic, nor is Zhang Sixin. Apart from the inconvenient meeting between the two, they still have time to communicate every day.

Many Timberwolves players have passed by, so Zhang Sixin will still participate in the three-day All-Star Weekend to support the young people of the team.

Flying to Orlando, Zhang Sixin felt that the weather was much more comfortable as soon as he got off the plane.

But staying in a hotel is still not so fun, he will not go out with the players to have fun, the temptation of good weather is like that.

However, food is still available.

Zhang Sixin chose a hotel with a highly rated restaurant and was ready to eat for a few days.

Usually because I follow the team, I really don’t have time to enjoy some delicacies.

So, after ordering a big meal, he gave Yang Yuyu an application for a video call.

In the video, Yang Yuyu gnashes her teeth cutely, "I really want to bite you to death..."

Yang Yuyu also wanted to show off, but remembering the unfriendly prices in New York, she decided to take a beauty sleep.

Zhang Sixin enjoys food and fitness at the hotel, and only goes to the All-Star scene during the rookie game.

Compared to players, coaches seem to be more relaxed during the All-Star weekend.

This year's rookie game is a new competition system, regardless of first-year or second-year, but Barkley and O'Neill will compete against each other.

As far as the selection is concerned, Barkley is strictly based on the basketball position, while O'Neal has added some gimmicks. The popular Griffin is on the O'Neal team, as well as the international player Rubio and Jeremy Lin who are also very popular.

But looking at the lineup, Barkley is indeed more reasonable. The players' positions are clear and there are many big men, unlike O'Neal's side who have many guards.

Both Paul George and Leonard are on the Barkley team, but Leonard is not well-known now and can only be a substitute.

The Barkley team consists of Irving, Cousins ​​and Paul George. The O'Neal team's starter is Griffin at this level, but Griffin still has the All-Star Game, so it's hard to say how much he can contribute.

At the beginning of the game, the Barkley team slammed the O'Neal team.

In the starting lineup, Irving, Turner, George and Cousins ​​all performed well. There is also a strong player like Wall on the bench.

Before the game, Zhang Sixin told the players to show themselves to the fullest.

But Jeremy Lin still couldn't let it go, he was embarrassed to compete with other players for the ball.

There's no way around this, there's no way to be polite on the All-Star stage.

On the other hand, the other two players on the team are playing very high, like Leonard, who is usually quiet, and should be unambiguous on the court.

"Sure enough, it will still be different from the original history." Zhang Sixin sat on the court and applauded happily.

Paul George is not only very active, but his strength is also stronger than the original history.

At the end of halftime, he had already scored 20+, and he was determined to win the MVP of the rookie game.

After all, the Timberwolves have a good tradition, and Paul George also wants to have a good time.

Leonard also scored in double figures, but he didn't have as many opportunities as the main players. Zhang Sixin saw that he actually wanted to compete.

Of course, Barkley's strong competitor is Irving, and Irving may not have thought that George was so fierce.

As for the O'Neal team, there is really a gap in the individual abilities of the players.

Even they have some players who really want to get the best performance, but there is a real difference in shooting percentage.

Are you afraid that Irving almost never misses, Paul George and Turner are basically the same, but Turner doesn't make so many shots.

In the O'Neal team, only Tristan Thompson has such a shooting percentage, but he is an insider, and it is much more difficult to get the ball than an outsider, so he can't make waves.

In the end, it was basically the internal competition of the Barkley team.

In the end, Paul George scored a 30+ double-double, and Irving scored slightly less, but it was also a double-double.

The final result was that the two shared the MVP trophy of the rookie game together. Zhang Sixin also lamented that Irving was very strong, similar to Paul George who sped up the upgrade speed by cheating.

After Paul George won the trophy, he joked with Leonard. Leonard was paralyzed, unconvinced, and secretly decided that he must blow everyone up next year.

The competition within the Timberwolves may allow many players to grow faster, and other teams will soon know that the Timberwolves are an invincible super team.
