Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 393 Undefeated in December

"Curry's three-pointer once again helped the Timberwolves seal the victory."

"Curry has entered the discussion of the strongest players in the league. The Timberwolves led by him have been triumphant all the way."

Now there are more and more discussions about whether Curry is the strongest player in the league, and it has also brought him enough heat.

His All-Star votes have already surpassed Kobe's.

The Timberwolves won two championships, and Curry also won the FMVP, but why is his discussion so big?

First of all, the No. 1 league is already very controversial, and the fans of the superstars are not convinced by each other.

In addition, Curry's style of play does not conform to many fans' understanding of No. 1 or even a superstar, because the early superstars defaulted to both offense and defense, and they can fight opponents in both aspects.

Later, some stars who went slanted forward joined the ranks, but like Curry, it doesn't feel like he goes slanted forward, and it feels special if he doesn't.

Obviously shooting is an ordinary thing that everyone knows. It doesn't matter how long you fly in the air, or how fast you are. Isn't it just shooting? Ordinary people can imitate it.

But no one can achieve Curry's level, let alone ordinary people, not even other stars.

That's why there is so much controversy. As the head coach, Zhang Sixin must support Curry.

And as long as the players don't pay too much attention and are affected, it doesn't matter if there are too many discussions.

If it is not a star, the fans are too lazy to discuss it.

In this regard, Zhang Sixin uses the coach's conversation skills to constantly help the players establish the correct three views.

The Timberwolves are so harmonious now, apart from their superb record, Zhang Sixin's role cannot be ignored.

And now they only need one victory to achieve their undefeated performance in December.

Their last opponent this month is the Suns. After the Suns sent Nash away, they also entered a rebuilding period.

This season they are not good at offense and defense, and they belong to the weak chickens among the weak chickens.

After all, their strongest scoring point is Dragic, who is almost meaningless even at the quasi-All-Star level.

And their head coach Gentry also belongs to the type that has something but is definitely not strong.

So for such a team, the Timberwolves must kill randomly.

The undefeated achievement in December was achieved in three quarters.

And the sun's hip defense allowed four of the Timberwolves' main players to achieve 20+ achievements, and only Leonard, who was temporarily supporting the role, was slightly pitiful.

However, the Timberwolves' winning streak also ended in the first game of the new year.

The Timberwolves, who had a day off, came to the Jazz's devil's home court. The players didn't feel very good, and they were fucked by the not-so-strong Jazz.

The Jazz did not have any X factors in this game, but the Timberwolves shot very hard. They won the game by accident with the team's offense and defense, which was not expected by the outside world.

In fact, the end of a strong team's winning streak is often an unexpected situation.

Opponents who really have a chance to threaten the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves are well prepared, and it is actually more difficult to lose.

In fact, since the beginning of the new year, the Timberwolves will play back-to-back away games. Many people are concerned about whether they will lose consecutively.

Public Enemy is like this, losing is news, losing streak can make big news.

Although the Nuggets are a bit far away from the Timberwolves with poor configuration, they feel that they have a chance to do it.

After all, a group of players with excellent physical fitness, the offense is really not bad.

However, shortly after the start of the game, the outside world understood that it was difficult for the Nuggets.

Because the Nuggets players, with a few relatively strong points, couldn't break through the Timberwolves' defense at all.

Now that there are no players with exceptional personal abilities, the Timberwolves' overall defense can almost limit the Nuggets' offense very well.

It is really difficult to play a team in front of the Timberwolves.

In the second half, Ty Lawson gave a little surprise.

But compared to Curry's performance, Ty Lawson is really a few grades behind.

Iguodala and Gallinari are relatively tough, and the Nuggets haven't played as well as they did in their previous encounters.

A strong team like the Nuggets can only bully a weaker team in the regular season. It will be very helpless to meet a strong team like the Timberwolves. Even if the regular season record is better, it will be difficult to go far in the playoffs.

There is no doubt that a team that wants to really make a difference in the league must have stars.

The Timberwolves' schedule in January is a little tighter, but not to the point of exaggeration.

After experiencing a shrinking season, it always feels much easier to play a normal season.

Two days later, the Timberwolves at home ushered in a challenge from the Trail Blazers.

The performance of the Blazers during this period is not bad, much better than at the beginning of the season, belonging to the marginal level of the playoffs.

However, because the team has no substitutes, it is difficult for the Blazers to maintain a good level.

The current situation of the Blazers is also related to Roy. Because of the serious injury, the Blazers chose to pardon Roy, but the salary has to be paid, so they have no money to sign up, and now they can only make do with it.

The Blazers really played well this time, because Batum performed well.

When Batum performed well, it really helped the team.

Because he is also a comprehensive striker, he can do all kinds of things on both ends of the offense and defense.

It's just that there are very few times when Batum plays well. His striker can't play a role at critical moments, and he is really not as good as a role player with a single role.

Batum was in good form this time, and the Blazers took the lead because of this.

For the Timberwolves, the team did not perform very well in the first three quarters. Only Curry and Milicic played well.

While the Blazers played well with Batum, Lillard and Matthews also played better and better. It feels like the Timberwolves may overturn this time.

The Timberwolves lineup is very strong, but as the regular season progresses, the Timberwolves players will experience some fatigue not only physically, but also mentally.

Therefore, in some games, it is difficult for even All-Star players to quickly adjust their status.

In this game, the Blazers really saw hope of winning.

Most of the time, they lead by double digits.

But at the end of the quarter, everything changed.

The Timberwolves' defense maintained sufficient strength in the crucial fourth quarter, but the Blazers' offense has repeatedly appeared, mainly because Batum suddenly failed.

Can it be seen at the last moment of the All-Star level, obviously playing really well in the first few quarters, but wilting at the last moment.

Lillard is also withered, and at the critical moment, the old Timberwolves Matthews is a little more reliable.

But relying on Matthews alone will definitely not work, because Paul George suddenly exploded on the Timberwolves side.

Paul George didn't play very well in the first few quarters today, but he suddenly started in the final quarter, which formed a sharp contrast with Batum.

In this case, the Blazers players are getting more and more panicked.

In the last few minutes, Lillard and Batum did not score a single point, and Aldridge had no sense of presence throughout the game.

Most of the leading Trail Blazers in the whole game successfully proved that they were just fakes in the final quarter, and the Timberwolves won again.
