Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 381
"Some young players in the Warriors are good." Zhang Sixin commented.

Thompson's performance this time was actually mediocre, but as a person with open eyes, Zhang Sixin still admired it very much.

The Warriors performed very well in the second quarter. First, because Jack and Landry, the sixth-man inside and outside players, played well, and David Lee performed well.

David Lee is really a very characteristic player, and he always has some methods on the offensive end.

It's a pity that the defensive awareness is too poor, otherwise the Warriors will definitely be competitive.

The current Warriors' defense should still be an inside problem, and Jefferson's movement is getting slower and slower. After his contract expires, the Warriors probably will not renew his contract.

Of course, the lack of outside offensive power is another topic.

Because of the impact of the Timberwolves' flanks, the Warriors chose to shrink their defense in the second quarter. As a result, Curry began to explode, but the Warriors did not withstand the defensive end, but the offensive end kept up.

So in the first half, the two teams can be said to have played back and forth.

While observing the situation on the field, Zhang Sixin was also considering whether the team's tactics should be adjusted.

The Timberwolves are now focusing on stability, and sometimes it feels difficult to exert the team's offensive power.

The main reason is that the inside line is not moving fast enough, and it is somewhat out of touch with the outside line.

Zhang Sixin thought it was okay before, the team was winning anyway.

But sometimes I also think about whether the team will be better after speeding up.

Or the fifth position can follow its own rhythm, and the outside team will try to counterattack more.

As the head coach, Zhang Sixin still often thinks about how to make the team more competitive.

After all, the Timberwolves' outside shooting is sometimes not particularly stable. Without Love making a turn, it seems that they are not so tall tactically.

If you think about it again, it may still be a problem with rebounds.

Forward teams like Paul George and Leonard are not weak in rebounding, but they are still not as good as real insiders, especially Love, who is full of rebounding awareness.

Zhang Sixin sometimes thinks a lot, but he is very cautious about actually making the team change.

It feels like doing nothing. In fact, think more and prepare more backup plans so that you won't be at a loss when you encounter trouble.

A team that wants to win three consecutive championships and establish a dynasty still needs to be fully prepared.

At the end of the second quarter, Curry cooperated with Paul George to attract the attention of the defense and straight to Leonard. The latter hit a layup and the Timberwolves took the lead into the intermission.

During the intermission, Zhang Sixin rarely emphasized the issue of rebound protection.

In the first half, it was indeed David Lee who grabbed some offensive rebounds.

But sometimes it's useless to just rely on emphasis. The Timberwolves still lost in the third quarter on rebounds. It feels like it hasn't happened for a long time.

Fortunately, the team's offense is not bad, and the players' personal ability is cool.

Moreover, the Warriors, who have good offensive power in the new season, missed a single three-pointer defended by the Timberwolves.

At the end of the quarter, the situation is more biased towards the Timberwolves.

It means that the players are the most capable, both offensive and defensive.

The Warriors' attack points, Clay, David Lee and Jefferson were all restricted.

Sometimes without hitting the critical moment, the gap between ordinary teams and top teams can't be so clearly reflected.

In the end, the Warriors really don't know who should score.

The Timberwolves are different. Curry, DeRozan and Paul George, the Warriors can't restrain them.

It felt like a fight in the front, but at the end of the quarter, the situation was completely one-sided, and the Timberwolves controlled the rhythm of the game.

And throughout the second half, the offensive Warriors didn't hit a single three-pointer, which can be said to be exaggerated.

Teams that pay attention to the Timberwolves may find that when Love is away, the Timberwolves' defense is actually stronger, which can be said to be desperate.

After defeating the Warriors, the Timberwolves rarely had four days to adjust.

Zhang Sixin generously gave the players a day off, combining work and rest.

Then he went to a high-end restaurant to enjoy the delicious food for a day, life just needs more embellishments.

After returning to the regular season, the Timberwolves will face the Nuggets who are performing well.

The Nuggets' performance after Anthony left is surprising, and they have not lost their competitiveness.

They helped the Magic and the Lakers reach a big deal in the summer, and they also gained a striker Iguodala with excellent overall ability.

Although Iguodala has been selected as an All-Star, he should be at the quasi-All-Star level, but he is the kind of player who can help the team no less than an All-Star.

So this season, the Nuggets' combat effectiveness has gone a step further and can cause some trouble in the West.

Among the contenders, there will be some familiar faces and new faces every season. This is competitive sports, and the offseason cannot predict everything.

The Nuggets are old faces who don't have a strong sense of presence. They have a bunch of players with strong physical fitness and play offensive basketball, but not many people like it.

Therefore, professional sports are not entirely competitive, but must also know how to promote.

The Nuggets have a strong offense, mainly the overall offense, and there are more players, but they don't have a particularly outstanding core player.

At the beginning of the game, when they felt a little bad, no one could stand up and solve the problem.

So the Timberwolves easily took the lead under the scoring of DeRozan and Paul George.

The defense of the offensive team will cause them to fall behind quickly.

Of course, their offense will give them a chance to catch up before.

Unlike a defensive team, it will not fall behind so easily, but it is basically difficult to recover after falling behind.

Many offensive teams are in a state of fits and starts. It is a bit exciting if they are not blown up or blown up.

The performance of the Nuggets this time is very obvious. The iron strike was very sluggish in the first quarter, and they were reborn in the second quarter. The difference in performance makes people wonder whether they have changed teams.

But going back to the defensive end, you will find that they have not changed a bit. The excellent physical fitness of the players cannot be transferred to the defense. A pick-and-roll can make their defense leak.

Nuggets coach George Karl does have something, but the weak link is also obvious.

If the Nuggets' group of runners and jumpers do a good job of defense, it may not be obvious in the regular season, but in the playoffs, they will definitely be much more competitive.

Now, a defensive champion like Iguodala is a waste in their team.

"If the offensive end can always seize opportunities, there will be no surprises in the game." Zhang Sixin said.

It is precisely because the Timberwolves' offense can be really strong that Zhang Sixin considered being more offensive.

The reason why there is no adjustment is that apart from thinking that stability is better, it is also for the team's inside line, and the team's inside line must still maintain a standard, so that the team will not have weaknesses.

And players can also get big contracts in the future. Zhang Sixin's coaching is not just for the record or himself. He likes win-win and multi-win.
