Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 325 Curry Comes Back
"James and Wade are still on the court, and it feels like they are playing the Heat's regular season. But this arrangement has worked, and the gap between the East and the West is getting smaller and smaller."

"James hit another three-pointer. James is already the player with the most three-pointers in the two teams. His touch is very good."

Zhang Sixin looked at the serious Spoelstra, smiled and shook his head.

The All-Stars also took out the trick of playing football stars. It's hard to say whether they are too eager for victory, or they have no other means.

James and Wade are indeed stronger than the All-Star bench, but Zhang Sixin is still in no hurry.

The East can't overtake, and they can't beat the West in the end.

The West not only has strong personal abilities, but also has a tacit understanding between players.

And Kobe has completed the task and surpassed Jordan, he will not mind Durant showing the limelight.

With Kobe in charge at the last moment and Durant scoring strongly, Zhang Sixin is not afraid of raising the flag, just being steady.

Relying on Spoelstra's shameless tactics, the East was only 5 points away from catching up, but after the Timberwolves replaced the winning lineup, the East couldn't stand it anymore.

Zhang Sixin didn't make it to the main lineup so quickly. In fact, their starting lineup was a bit unreasonable.

Zhang Sixin first let Paul play for a while, and Love moved to the fifth position, so that the offensive end will be more abundant.

In fact, Paul Zhang Sixin is not so satisfied, but who made Curry not come.

Outside of the small lineup, Durant and Kobe kept getting opportunities and immediately stabilized the score.

At the last moment, the Eastern Conference scored three points. James, Wade and Anthony tried their best, but they were always a little bit short.

"Sure enough, the West cooperates better than the East."

"Zhang Sixin is so handsome coaching the All-Stars, and he supports the Timberwolves to defend the title."

"What does the All-Star game have to do with the coach? But Zhang Sixin is really cool, with the demeanor of a famous coach."

At the last moment, Zhang Sixin played Milicic again, asking him to help defend inside, it can be said that he did not give a chance at all.

In the west, Kobe can also play the first position, and the rhythm is steady.

With Wade missing a three-pointer, the West beat the East 157:148, and Durant, who scored the highest, won the MVP.

After the game, Durant was also very happy. He said, "I feel very excited to get this All-Star MVP. This is my dream when I was young. From the very beginning when I came here to play, I didn't expect that I would have today. Everything is blessing me. You know I am very excited, and I am very happy that I can go home with this trophy."

The All-Star Weekend ended perfectly. Zhang Sixin returned to Minnesota with the players. They had a game on the first day after the All-Star Weekend.

The players have recovered physically and mentally, but they just don't know if they have escaped from the happy weekend.

Fortunately, their opponents are also in a similar situation. Paul and Griffin also played very well in the All-Stars.

In addition, Curry is back and has reached his peak.

Curry hasn't played yet, but Zhang Sixin, who has seen Curry's state, knows that this will be the real return of the king.

Curry's comeback is the starting lineup, and he has discussed this aspect with Jeremy Lin before.

Although there are definitely fewer opportunities to go to the bench lineup, the team is stronger, and their main substitutes will have a better future whether it is a transaction or the expiration of the contract.

Of course, whoever wants to take the initiative, as long as they can exchange for equal bargaining chips, they can negotiate with Zhang Sixin, and Zhang Sixin will not force people to stay.

This may happen to the Timberwolves in the future. Now a group of young people are looking forward to defending the title, and the team is still very harmonious.

The Clippers' record at this stage is not bad. They are in the second tier of the Western Conference. Unfortunately, Billups was injured.

This season, the Clippers traded Paul, and the team has two All-Stars, so they naturally want to do a big job.

After the All-Star weekend, I met the Timberwolves and wanted to do a big job.

At the beginning of the game, the Clippers entered the state earlier, Griffin was in excellent form, and completely suppressed Love in the first quarter.

Although Paul didn't attack too much, he played very steadily. Relatively speaking, Curry, who just came back, is still looking for a feeling.

Even if the tactics don't need any adjustments, Curry still needs to rediscover tacit understanding with his teammates when he comes back.

Fortunately, after entering the rotation period, the Timberwolves are much better than the Clippers.

When Maurice Williams feels bad, the Clippers' bench lineup is a bit choking.

The Clippers also feel that the team's offensive firepower is still a bit insufficient, and they want to trade some scorers.

In the rotation lineup, Jeremy Lin, Green, and Pekovic all performed well.

This also caused Paul to increase his personal offense for the second time, and the Clippers' lead gradually disappeared.

The Clippers also have a lot of players, but everyone else is too ordinary.

After the Timberwolves choked the Clippers' three-pointers defensively, they often needed their stars to solve the problem. It was difficult for the Clippers' role players to participate in the team's tactics.

Moreover, their backup insiders are really a bit poor.

"Their two core players hold the ball for too long, but they can't completely solve the problem. We can safely target it." Zhang Sixin said.

Neither Paul nor Griffin's offensive ability is top-notch, but they both have to hold the ball, which is sometimes difficult to play.

No matter how good Paul's organizational ability is, it is not as good as the Timberwolves' tactical execution.

In the third quarter, the defenses of both sides were highly targeted, and the scoring efficiency was declining.

Because Curry still didn't find the feeling, Zhang Sixin began to let DeRozan focus.

In fact, they spent some time in the first half to help Curry find his feeling. Now, the team is going to win.

Curry will be an outside shooting point, and the Timberwolves' combat power will not be worse.

During the rotation period, the Timberwolves took the lead without any suspense.

The Clippers let Paul, Griffin and Jordan play more minutes, but still did not stop the Timberwolves from advancing.

Moreover, although Griffin was strong in the first half, his efficiency dropped a lot in the second half.

He has been involved in the All-Star weekend, without a good rest, it is difficult to maintain the high efficiency of the whole game even at home.

After Griffin had a problem, Paul had to do it himself, but his scoring ability was just that, not bad, and he couldn't turn the tide.

In the final quarter of the Timberwolves, DeRozan and Paul George went crazy.

The two hit three-pointers one after another, and then went in one after another for a complete layup. In 2 minutes, the Timberwolves' lead was extended to double digits, and the Clippers were a little confused.

In the last few minutes, the Clippers, who were behind in the score, didn't know whether it was because of the Timberwolves' defense or something else. They didn't even bet on three points, just waiting for the Timberwolves to win the game.

When Curry's comeback performance was mediocre, the Timberwolves continued their winning streak.

Griffin, one of the core of the Clippers, also said helplessly: "The Timberwolves are very strong, we must perform better next time."
