Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 40 Believe
"It's another duel between Curry and Deron. The two faced each other at the beginning of the third quarter."

"Hit, both of them hit twice in a row... But overall, Deron assists more, and Curry scores a little more. The first positions of the two teams are evenly matched."

At the beginning of the second half, the inside line of the two teams retreated to the second line, and the outside line became the main force on the offensive end.

Both Curry and Deron performed well, scoring and assisting.

However, Curry's little friends are still a little bit stronger, and DeRozan feels that a few beautiful mid-range shots and layups are very exciting.

DeRozan is also the direct main force in the Timberwolves, but his strength and reputation are somewhat unknown to Curry, but he has been improving.

DeRozan can also contribute when the team needs it.

As for the popularity of the outside world, one is that Zhang Sixin praised Curry more in front of reporters, and the other is that Curry played a few brilliant games, which is very eye-catching.

Moreover, the Timberwolves chose Curry with a higher pick, and Curry naturally received more attention.

In fact, the performance of DeRozan and Matthews is also very good for rookies.

In this case, the Jazz also took the initiative to adjust and replaced Millsap.

Although Okur also has long-range shooting ability, but the movement speed is relatively slow.

When the Timberwolves' inside line can be defended, Okur's role is greatly reduced, so the Jazz can only change.

But now Millsap's opponent Love also doesn't take advantage of it, and the Jazz can't help it. Millsap is at least faster.

Of course, Love's advantage is not that great, but that little bit is enough for the Timberwolves to make a fuss.

In the second half, the Timberwolves still gave the rotation more time.

Belinelli and Brewer also performed well, and the Jazz's main lineup could not be suppressed.

No way, because the Jazz's Brewer and Myers didn't play at all in the second half, only Deron and Boozer were relatively stable.

But Boozer's defense is really average, and it belongs to the type that must be used but not so comfortable, similar to the Timberwolves using Jefferson.

The difference is that the Timberwolves have other options, while the Jazz don't, and the Jazz need Boozer's offense.

In the second half, the main force of the Jazz played for a few more minutes. Deron's efficiency has gradually decreased. Only Boozer's shooting on the offensive end is relatively stable, but unfortunately he can't kill anyone.

And after the Timberwolves' main force played again, the Jazz found that it was a disadvantage to use Millsap. Love felt good this time, and he also hit Boozer twice with the ball in the low post. The Jazz could only play Okur again.

They have fallen into an endless loop, and the weak links of players are always exploited by the Timberwolves.

With the rotation and Love's performance, the Timberwolves are already leading by 10 points, and the Jazz find that they need a three-pointer.

But their three-pointers are not very stable, and the Timberwolves' defense is also in place.

Both Okur and Deron tried, but unfortunately they struck iron one after another.

After halfway through the last quarter, the Jazz felt a bit broken.

They let Boozer go straight to the offense, and Boozer made all kinds of half-stops.

Regardless of whether you hit or miss, it is not very useful for chasing points.

At this time, the Timberwolves began to play a combination of inside and outside. Curry and Jefferson both made hits, and they took the lead firmly.

Seeing that time was running out, the Jazz struggled twice symbolically, or it was a habitual behavior.

They implemented foul tactics, but at this time the Timberwolves had already led by 10 points. After the Jazz fouled and then attacked, they didn't even shoot a three-pointer. Zhang Sixin didn't quite understand the opponent's brain circuit.

Their head coach Sloan had a cold face on the sidelines, feeling like he didn't even want to curse.

Obviously evenly matched in the first half, why was it easily won by the Timberwolves in the second half.

Sloan also said after the game: "As you can feel, we played too badly. We played badly in the second half. They shot well in the third quarter, which made it difficult for us. If the defense can't guard anyone, you can't expect the team to win."

Boozer also said: "I think this is a game we can't win. The game has been out of our control, which is worse than the points shown."

Deron's attitude is similar. He said, "This is a very difficult schedule. We are in this situation. We have won some victories, but many of them are against underdogs who have no winning record. Facing the strong teams in the league, we have to wait and see how we play."

The opponent obviously complained about the loss. Zhang Sixin was much gentler when facing the reporter. He smiled and said: "We took advantage of the home court, and we recovered better than them. However, we are very happy that we can beat the strong teams in the West. We cannot say that we are already part of a strong team, but we are working hard to join."

In fact, they did take advantage of physical strength, but winning games that can be won is also an ability that a strong team must have.

The Timberwolves have two days to adjust the time, and then they will face two back-to-backs.

On days when there is no game, the team's confrontation training is relatively loose, and more of them are targeted training, such as shooting, strength and reaction speed.

Zhang Sixin and Tyronn Lu took a few young players who played a lot to watch the video and dig out the details.

"Stephen, look at the shot. It should be earlier. If it doesn't come out, you will be determined to hit it yourself."

"You have to be more familiar with your teammates, and you have to form an instinct when to make which choices. This requires a lot of practice, and you can communicate more after training."

"Demar, look at the similarities between these shots, you need to play more resolutely."

"Wesley, look at these pictures carefully. When you catch the ball, you don't have a chance to release the ball immediately. There can be no pause. This is the NBA, and your opponents are all outstanding. A pause will make the offense more difficult."

"Let's look at the defensive end. What we need on the offensive end is efficiency. We need to get rid of hesitation and bad habits. On the defensive end, we need to focus more."

"These pictures are leaking people, these are unnecessary attacks, these are not calm... I know that you can do better. I believe in my own vision, and you should also believe in your own abilities."

"Believe that you are not playing casually, but improving the details a little bit to make yourself better."

"No one likes to lose, but how to win? Winning is not a matter of chanting a few slogans. We have to become better, play our own advantages, and attack the opponent's weak points. You may not have such a clear understanding, but don't worry, I will tell you what to do. I believe you, do you believe me?"

A group of young people were dizzy, Zhang Sixin gave them a lot of performance opportunities and led them to win.

Don't trust the head coach.Isn't that a fool?
