Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 26 Love Comes Back
"Yes!" Zhang Sixin waved his fist heavily.

On the field, Frye hit a key three-pointer, and the Timberwolves tied the score.

In fact, Zhang Sixin replaced Frye because Sima Zhaozhi's heart is well known, but the Rockets' defense just didn't do a good job. As a beneficiary, it feels quite cool.

The Rockets' defense has degraded seriously. Zhang Sixin also admires the fact that they are still a fringe team in the playoffs in the West.

After being happy, Zhang Sixin quickly reminded the players on the field to defend.

At the last moment, the Rockets also started to operate, using two different lineups for offense and defense.

Zhang Sixin looked at the Timberwolves' lineup and felt that there was no need for them to follow suit.

The Timberwolves caught up with the score, and the momentum was like a rainbow. DeRozan hit two more points and completed the lead in the last minute.

And then the Rockets also played a good offense, and finally Landry scored.

With only a few tens of seconds left, the two sides drew again.

Now the first team has only one attack time left. Zhang Sixin told Curry that if the team has a chance in the past, it will take a shot.

The time limit is 30 seconds. If there is a chance to make a shot before 30 seconds, the time will be pressed if there is no chance. If the team does not have the next opportunity to attack, it cannot leave too much time for the opponent.

There is a difference between 20 seconds left and 15 seconds left.

Curry had to cover after dribbling halfway, and then dribbled inside, while Milicic went down.

This time the Rockets defended very well, and the Timberwolves did not find a good opportunity.

Curry made a short circle to the side of the free throw line and returned to the three-point line, and then began to press the clock.

Curry re-started when there were only 7 seconds left on the offensive clock.

It was Milicic who came up to cover, let Curry bypass the defense, and Milicic went down again.

This time Curry still broke through inside. Curry was very good at three-pointers when he was a rookie, but now he doesn't have the confidence of his peak, so he didn't directly shoot three-pointers.

Curry rushed to a place one step away from the penalty area and suddenly made an emergency stop. At this position, the Rockets' defensive players were in an area where they could help defend or not, and hesitated a little.

Curry turned around one by one, leaned back slightly, and made a mid-range shot.

"Stephen Curry, hit a key shot." The commentator shouted excitedly.

With a two-pointer, the Timberwolves took the lead again.

There are 16 seconds left in the time, which is plenty, but it is not a full 24 seconds after all.

After the Rockets paused the deployment, they replaced the players with the strongest offensive power.

Brooks is back on the floor, and he's holding the ball.

This buddy is not big, but he has a big heart. He is also a key defensive player for the Timberwolves.

The Rockets also came to cover inside, but they didn't block at all, they just used the movement of the players to move, and the strikers on both sides also quickly slipped past the baseline.

But the Timberwolves' defensive rotation at this time is very good. Except for Milicic stepping on the penalty area line, the others are in a state of combining zone defense and man-marking, staring at the Rockets' outside players.

The game entered the last 10 seconds, but the Rockets have not found any opportunities.

At this time, Ariza made a pass error.

The Rockets pass the ball more now, so it is easy to have opportunities, but sometimes there will be problems.

At the last moment, not all the players were so stable.

Matthews has quick eyes and quick hands, and directly cut off Ariza's pass.

But he didn't completely control the ball. Rory rushed over and broke the ball back.

Although the Timberwolves did not catch the opponent's mistakes and directly sealed the victory, it wasted time and the Rockets' players were a little confused.

Lowry passed the ball to Brooks again, and Brooks was lucky when he got the ball. The assistant coach of the Rockets reminded loudly that the time was running out.

Brooks looked up at the time on the backboard, and suddenly took a small step to the side and shot a three-pointer.

His set is very neat, and his shots are very quick.

However, the strength was a little stronger, and the basketball hit the back of the basket and bounced high.

Players from the two teams fought desperately for the rebound, but the game was over before one side could control the basketball.

Curry had a quasi-lore, and the Timberwolves won another thrilling game again.

After the game, Adelman said with regret: "The players worked diligently, but we were a little tired in the end."

They are back to back, and the Timberwolves do take advantage in terms of physical strength.

But Zhang Sixin’s evaluation of the players’ performance is still very high. He said: “We seized the victory through hard work. I can feel that the young people of the team are maturing rapidly. They quickly adapted to professional games and can help the team.”

Speaking of putting Jefferson on the bench at the last moment, Zhang Sixin said indifferently: "He just recovered from an injury this season. He was a little tired at the end, and we needed to move quickly. But he scored the highest score in this game. There is no doubt about his contribution to the victory. He is an important weapon for the team."

The NBA is a business league. Zhang Sixin understands it very well, so he will not panic when facing reporters. Chinese people are quite good at the art of language.

After the Timberwolves lost streak, they ushered in a winning streak. Unfortunately, three days later, they went to the away game and encountered the nemesis Blazers.

No miracle, they were hanged by the Blazers again.

Oden feels more and more powerful. At this time, no one may think that this is not the beginning of Oden's magic, but the last handsomeness of the No. [-] pick.

Injuries are fierce, and no one knows how healthy Oden can grow.

In the latter part of November, the Timberwolves' schedule was better, without back-to-backs.

They continued their away game in the West and went to Los Angeles to fight the Clippers again.

The Clippers have shown signs of decline at this time, and they have not yet reached the point where they are bad, but in the West where there are many strong teams, their current situation is at best just a struggle.

Love's comeback this time, temporarily playing a substitute.

The Clippers' starting lineup has also changed compared with the last time. Gordon was injured and Al Thornton replaced him.

Al Thornton is a small forward, and the average height of the Clippers lineup has once again increased.

This buddy doesn't shoot three-pointers very much, and with the Clippers' twin towers, the penalty area may be crowded to death.

At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves turned against the guest.

First Jefferson hit inside, and then Curry made a successful three-point shot.

The Clippers slowed down after 3 minutes, and their counterattack was unsurprisingly started from the inside.

The difference between the opponent and last time is that without Gordon, the Clippers' roles are basically within the three-point line.

After the two sides fell into a hand-to-hand fight inside, Jefferson had less room to play, and several young players on the team began to attack from the outside.

On the offensive end, there is actually no problem.

But on the defensive end, Milicic's foul was a bit out of control.
