Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 516

"The most important thing in the fight against the Timberwolves is to lock Curry." Zhang Sixin said.

Flank Curry, then Leonard takes care of George, and that's what the Timberwolves are doing.

Of course, there are too few teams that can achieve the level of the Knicks.

The Timberwolves also want to lock down the Knicks' core players, and it cannot be said that it is ineffective, but the Knicks' fluency is stronger than the opponent's, and everyone can score.

Maybe they are just a little bit better than the opposing players, and the sum is the guarantee of victory.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves actually made a big comeback just after they came on the court.

Curry forcibly pulled out a three-pointer, a bit like trying to forcibly bring up the team's momentum.

It's just that the fairy ball still can't last.

Some teams will be affected and defeated when they encounter a fairy ball, but the Knicks will definitely not.

"The Timberwolves' three-point shooting rate is too low, or so many shots with such a low three-point shooting rate, can we make some adjustments?"

"Look at the Knicks' cuts and running positions, which are at the textbook level."

"There is still time, it depends on whether the Timberwolves can perform well in the future."

In fact, the Timberwolves performed well in the second half.

Only at the end of the quarter, the Knicks stabilized the lead with a tough attitude.

Leonard and Antetokounmpo took turns attacking the inside, causing consecutive kills, and the Timberwolves were a little helpless.

They also want to do a good job in defense inside, but it is really not that easy, whether it is to get a good defensive inside, or to do a good job of defense in front of the Knicks' powerful offense.

The difference in the final score was not big, but even the fans could vaguely see that the Timberwolves were completely targeted at the last moment, and they were too passive.For Zhang Sixin, this is actually quite normal, it is him who bullies others.

After taking down the Timberwolves, the Knicks were so imposing that they went to the away game and beat the 76ers.

In back-to-back games, he beat the Bulls again.

The Bulls have basically not changed their personnel this season, but something went wrong with the team.

They changed the head coach, stopped playing defense and switched to offense.

It's just that the Bulls are originally a lineup that is more suitable for defense. After fighting for offense, some players are useless.

Sometimes, the front office of the team is blind.

When the team doesn't reach the ideal state, they will try, make mistakes and continue.

Some of them will be hurt, and that is something that cannot be helped.

It can only be said that the previous Bulls had a little more injuries, but their strength was not bad.

After changing the style of play, I don't know if the injury is better or not, but the strength is not good anyway.

The Knicks have never encountered such an easy-to-play bull, so Zhang Sixin also sighed a little.

Two days later, the Knicks continued their winning streak and easily won the underdogs such as the Magic and Cavaliers.

It's a pity that in the Christmas game, they lost to the Eagles who played well off the bench.

The Knicks this season are extremely strong, but sometimes they lose inexplicably.

This gives people hope that the Knicks' lineup is still a bit weak on a closer look. Their rotation lineup is not very good defensively, and their offensive stability is not enough.

It's a pity that it's just a rotation lineup. If the Knicks let the main players play more in the playoffs, it will still be difficult for them to find flaws.

"It's hard to imagine that the league is ruled by one head coach."

Although the Knicks have only won two consecutive championships, but with the Timberwolves before, Zhang Sixin can really be said to have dominated the league.How to defeat him has really become a difficult problem.

Most of Zhang Sixin's formation depends on rookies, and most of the time they are rookies that other teams don't value.

When the rookie grows up, each team will try hard to poach talent, but no matter how Zhang Sixin's lineup changes, it is always so strong.

So some people say that Zhang Sixin is a magician who can always make his players stronger.

The Knicks have only two games left in December.

Against the Pistons, they are naturally crushed.

And this season's Celtics are barely an opponent.

The Celtics actually didn't make any big moves in the summer. They relied on the growth of young players and some practical signings to improve their strength.

Some people say that Celtics coach Stevens has a taste of Zhang Sixin, but it's just a beggar's version.

The Celtics can still compete in the East, but they are nothing in the entire league.

Their offensive end is not bad overall, but their defense is too poor, and their strengths are also a little bit worse.

Their current top scorer is just the substitute Thomas Jr. Zhang Sixin used when he was in the Timberwolves.

Of course, some teams are now headed by young people who played as substitutes under Zhang Sixin.

He is proud of sending talents to the whole league.

Against the Celtics, Zhang Sixin mainly practiced with the opponent.

The Celtics played reasonably, so the Knicks played even more reasonably.

In the critical round, it is necessary to firmly hold down the opponent's strong points on the defensive end.

"The game between the two teams is a bit like the NCAA. It would be great if all teams played like this."

"Then it's better to watch the NCAA to stimulate, and the NBA still depends on the stars."

"The two teams also have stars, okay? At least the Knicks have..."

Zhang Sixin sat on the sidelines, communicating with the rest of the coaching staff very relaxedly.

Even when the opponent is playing well, he is not in a hurry, and he is full of handsome demeanor.

"In the last quarter, just a little defensive trap." Zhang Sixin said.

He knows Thomas Jr. because of his height, he really wants to prove himself.

He is not the kind of honest organization type, especially in the last quarter, he will definitely play by himself.

As long as the main defensive player pushes, and then the auxiliary defensive player waits for the opportunity to move, it can be done.

This kind of trick doesn't work for some players, but it's just right for players like Thomas Jr.

In the fourth quarter, Thomas really wanted to prove himself, but he fell into the trap of the Knicks.

Looking at the hopeful score, the Knicks completely controlled it all at once.

The Knicks are about to win again, that's how the fans feel.

And they lived up to expectations and decisively won the game.

December is over, the new year is here, and the Knicks continue to fight.

Now, they are nearly ten games ahead of the second place in the Eastern Conference, with an amazing record.

Even in the entire league, only the Timberwolves can keep up with their record this season.

There were still some before, but as the season progressed, the strength of the team became more obvious.

The Knicks' players voted in the All-Stars, and there is no doubt that they dominate the Eastern Conference.

While Zhang Sixin pays attention to the health of the players, he also pays attention to communicating with them to keep them motivated.

"We want to set up a benchmark for a strong team in the league." This is what Zhang Sixin often says.

The players are all proud of pursuing victory and playing hard, the atmosphere of the team will naturally be good.

Other teams can only spend the entire season in expectations and doubts.

The strength of the Knicks will give players who want to challenge their dominance a strong psychological shadow.
