Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 326
"I don't think there is any need to worry about Stephen's state, I trust him." Zhang Sixin told reporters.

Zhang Sixin is indeed more confident than Curry himself. After the game, he communicated with Curry and told him not to worry.

Curry actually performed very well during training, and he was still a little nervous in his first game back.

Under Zhang Sixin's enlightenment, Curry also began to become full of confidence.

However, the Timberwolves lost back-to-back away games the next day, and they lost to the Lakers.

Curry performed normally, but Milicic was injured, and Kobe broke out in the third quarter to help the Lakers overcome the Timberwolves.

In this game, in addition to Kobe's performance, the Lakers Twin Towers also played well, and the defensive end was very strong.

When the Timberwolves had some problems with the help defense due to player injuries, the Lakers did a very good job in the inside help defense, and it was a pity to lose this game.

What Zhang Sixin didn't expect was that Milicic was fine in such an intensive game before, and the All-Star went to Orlando to have a good time, but now he is injured.

Milicic's injury is still a little troublesome, and he usually needs to rest for a while.

Zhang Sixin is a bit regretful, but he is not too anxious. There are still people inside the Timberwolves who can step up.

As long as Milicic can recover before the playoffs, there will be no problem.

But who will be the starter next? Whiteside can follow the current routine, but he is still not very stable. If he starts, he won't be able to play for that long. It will be like a fake starter.

And if Pekovic starts, the tactics will change slightly.

Pekovic is not a defensive type, he needs to help the team with scoring.

After discussing with the coaching staff, Zhang Sixin decided to let both of them try. The team will choose the starting fifth position according to the opponent's characteristics.

March is here, and the Timberwolves' first game is an away game against the Suns.

The Suns are no longer the strong offensive team in the West, but the Suns still use the 37-year-old Nash as the core of their tactics. They don't hit the basket much, so Pekovic started this game.

At the beginning of the game, Gortat performed better than Pekovic. Although Pekovic is much stronger, Gortat is more flexible and can pull out to shoot.

But generally speaking, the Suns' offense is also very average, mainly because they don't have a strong scoring point.

For the Timberwolves, it is relatively easy for Love to physically bully Frye.

Today's Curry has quickly entered the state, with a 100% shooting rate in the first quarter.

In this case, the Timberwolves naturally gained the lead.

"It's very lucky for the team that Stephen has re-adapted to the game so quickly," Zhang Sixin said.

Others nodded, Curry's ability is indeed very good.

Don't look at the team looking invincible when he is not there, but with his strength on the outside, the Timberwolves will be much more stable when they meet a strong team.

Curry can not only score, but also create a better scoring environment for other players.

As for the current Timberwolves, he is the one who can hit the giant planet at critical moments.

Now the Suns have added a lot of mid-range shots.

But the Timberwolves are still strictly guarding their three-pointers. As long as they lock the Suns' three-pointers, even if they can still score a lot of points, the possibility of the Suns defeating the Timberwolves will be even less.

Now Nash, defense has become more and more a problem.

Whether Curry is on the court or not, the Timberwolves will call Nash by name.

Not just because of Nash's defense, but also because of consumption.

Now people like the Suns are very inefficient in scoring with the ball by themselves, and they are already used to Nash's passing. When Nash has physical problems, the Timberwolves will be more relaxed.

In the second quarter, Pekovic also got used to cooperating with the starters and started scoring.

His strength is better than Love, and he is a threat when receiving the ball in the penalty area. Among the Timberwolves' insiders, he is the best in this aspect, but Pekovic also has more weak links when considered comprehensively.

His skills and tactics are a bit unsuitable for the development of basketball, and he belongs to the relatively old-school inside line.

Even so, he will be good as long as he stays healthy, but his weight and style of play consume too much on his body, and he is older than Love, so it is difficult to maintain a good competitive state for a long time.

In the first half, the Timberwolves can be said to have completely grasped the situation.

But there was a little surprise in the third quarter, that is, Hill hit consecutive breakthroughs.

The Suns also discovered the weak link of the Timberwolves through the first half of the game, that is, their two inside defenses are not very good.

Zhang Sixin also quickly adjusted through substitutions, allowing the faster-moving Whiteside to come up.

Of course, under the tight defense of the Timberwolves, the 39-year-old Hill quickly lost his strength to play with the ball.

When the Suns can only rely on some old players to break the game, they can't stand it anymore.

In fact, the results of the Suns have already explained everything. They really can't do it this season.

In the second half, the Timberwolves' rotation was stronger again, and the Sun's resistance also ended at this time.

After opening the score again, Nash also struggled by increasing his personal offense.

But that's just a decent point to let the sun die. Curry has scored 30 points for the Timberwolves.

After the game, Zhang Sixin also said happily: "This is Stephen's ability. The team's waiting is worth the money. A healthy Stephen is invincible."

The Timberwolves have four away games this time, and the last stop is Portland.

The Blazers this season did not meet expectations at all. Roy chose to retire after being reimbursed for the season. The imported guard Felton could meet the team's expectations. Crawford could not integrate well into the team. There is no suitable fifth position. Camby is really too old to play.

The Blazers really did a lot in the summer, compared to other teams.

But I feel that if I do more and make more mistakes, the team's performance will not improve at all.

That is to say, it feels good to get Matthews for the time being, but Matthews is not the kind of player who can determine the team's upper limit, although this trade for the Timberwolves actually took a big advantage.

Facing the messy Trail Blazers, the Timberwolves secured the victory in the first quarter.

Love directly exploded and beat Aldridge.

To be honest, Aldridge does have strength, but he really doesn't have leadership qualities. He can't lead the team to do better.

After all, the Trail Blazers lineup is not too bad, and the team boss is also responsible for the complete failure of the record.

Although Batum played a beautiful game, the Timberwolves gradually controlled the situation.

After Curry and Love broke out together again, the game lost its suspense.

In this game, Love scored a 40+ super double-double, which made the fans very excited.

After the game, Zhang Sixin said proudly: "Everyone played very aggressively, and the victory was easy."

"As for Kevin, isn't it natural for him to update his super data?"

No problem, Love is a data maniac.
