Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 16 We are wolves
The Timberwolves beat the Suns away, which was once again impressive.

This is still when their lineup is not complete. If Love comes back, to what extent will the Timberwolves be able to form competition in the West.

Although the season has just started, winning two games is nothing, but the feeling of the Timberwolves is indeed different.

The two games they won were not tailwind battles, but they performed better than their opponents at critical moments, which is rare and precious.

Relying on this victory, Zhang Sixin completed his first home and away win.

The point is, after this task, Zhang Sixin rose to level ten and revealed a special skill.

[Talk to the coach: Individual conversations with the players can effectively improve the mental state of the players. 】

At first glance, this special skill has nothing to do with the outcome of the game, but when you think about it carefully, it's a brainwashing skill. With this, a famous coach is half as good.

Don't you see that there are many famous handsome men who are more good at fooling around?

Moreover, this is actually a very practical skill.

The mentality of the players will directly determine the outcome of the game in many cases.

After killing the Suns with some surprises, the Timberwolves came to Los Angeles non-stop to play back-to-back away games against the Clippers.

The Clippers won the No. [-] pick Griffin by virtue of their poor performance last season. When their few fans were looking forward to it, Griffin was reimbursed for the season due to injury.

So their lineup for the new season looks okay, but it's not worth looking forward to at all.

Baron Davis, who has been declining since coming to the Clippers, barely able to score second-year scorer Gordon, mediocre [-]D Rasoul Butler, very slow Chris Kaman, defensive data brush Marcus Camby.

In fact, the Clippers' lineup is not very bad. The key point is that their defense is poor and the players are not motivated enough, so they are temporarily unable to turn around.

Kaman and Camby can barely be said to be a twin-tower combination, and Zhang Sixin is also worried that Jefferson will be fucked.

In reality, however, Jefferson played okay.

Zhang Sixin can be sure that Jefferson is an inside player identifier, and Camby, an insider who relies on data to deceive the defense and the best defensive player, suddenly revealed his true colors.

Of course, Camby doesn't have the slightest defensive pressure in front of many insiders. His inside statistics can be good, and his statistics will also be good.

In the future, Whiteside will inherit Camby's fine tradition, but it is a pity that it was much more difficult to deceive people at that time.

The Clippers will soon have had enough of Camby this season and find a way to trade him to make way for Jordan on the bench.

In this game, it was not easy for the Timberwolves to defend against the opponent's two insiders, so Zhang Sixin divided the game into two stages, one for Jefferson to perform, and the other for the team to find ways to speed up, so that the Clippers' two slow-moving insiders became decorations.

Each has its own advantages on the inside, but the Timberwolves actually performed better on the outside.

The bearded Davis, who has very good physical fitness on the back line, is now a blacksmith, and his movements are not as fast as when he was at his peak.

In fact, he is only 30 years old now, and the Clippers would only offer him a big contract before. However, this buddy has degenerated a bit quickly, and now he is no match for Curry.

On the contrary, Gordon and DeRozan played back and forth. Both of them are the type with good explosive power but average static talent. It is normal that neither can guard the other.

"Cory's shooting is too unstable, and now the third position in this lineup needs better three-pointers." Zhang Sixin frowned.

With the Clippers' bad defense, the Timberwolves could have taken the lead a few times, but the players didn't grasp it.

They can play against a strong team like the Suns, but facing a weak team like the Clippers feels similar.

This is the fault of young teams, unable to exert their strength stably.

"If Kevin comes back, the starting lineup will be better on the offensive end." Zhang Sixin sighed.

If Jefferson's defense is a little better, Zhang Sixin will not be entangled. If Frye starts with him, the team's offense will not be a problem.

But Jefferson's defense is like this. If he didn't have such a big contract, Zhang Sixin would let him sit on the bench.

But now he had to use it, the contract couldn't be left in his hands, he had to be given a chance to perform.

Of course, Jefferson's interior skills are really good, and they are easy to use when used correctly. He is a player with obvious advantages and disadvantages, but he doesn't quite adapt to the current Timberwolves.

Zhang Sixin can only be disassembled and let Jefferson and Curry take turns as the tactical core.

The rhythm of the team will also change according to the characteristics of the two. It is not so easy for the players to adapt in the first half of the season, but after running in, it should be difficult for the opponent to adapt.

During the rotation period, the Timberwolves didn't take advantage of it, because Frye didn't feel good today.

Frye's effect is not so obvious when he feels bad, and he also belongs to the type that suffers on the defensive end.

On the Clippers side, Kaman with the bench lineup was tough.

"Ron, you need to pay more attention to Darko. He has been active during this time, but his fouls are a bit uncontrollable." Zhang Sixin said.

Milicic's mentality is better, but his skills still need to be polished.

It can be said that he is still playing with his talent when he was young, and he has not improved much in the league these years.

Given his physical condition, it was a waste.

Although it is impossible to completely make up for the time now, it is always right to make up for it.

As he spoke, he looked at Le Fu again, and Le Fu quickly waved the towel.

Love suspects that the head coach is a little dissatisfied with him, but now that he is unable to play to help the team, he is also a little guilty, so he can only honestly complete Zhang Sixin's confession.

Also, cheering on the sidelines is okay if you get used to it.

The few players on the side who have less chance to play are following along.

The head coach has said that this represents the cohesion of the team. He has no chance to perform more on the court and does not work hard off the court. Do you want to sit on the bench for the rest of his life?
In the first half, the Timberwolves fell behind their opponent again. Although it was only a few points, the opponent was the junk Clippers. Zhang Sixin was very dissatisfied with the result.

"What do you do when you don't feel so good on the offensive end? Defend, defend desperately, this is a requirement I have repeatedly emphasized. But in the first two quarters, you didn't do a good job."

"It's back-to-back away games, but the season has only just started. Are you out of energy now? I'm angry, not because the score is behind, but because you haven't shown your quality. On the pitch, you have to use your strength to earn respect."

Young players should be encouraged, but they should not be joking when it is time to talk.

"Ron, tell them about the mistakes in the defense in the first half. In the second half, I don't want to see those problems again. Your opponents have not won the game at the beginning. I don't want their first victory to appear on us."

"We are wolves, show your fangs, gentlemen."
