Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 42
"This kind of intensity is good, I hope they can get used to this feeling." Zhang Sixin said.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves caught up to the score. After entering the rotation period, the players fulfilled his request and stabilized the score by relying on tough defense, allowing the main players of the Timberwolves to get a full rest.

In the final quarter, the main players of both sides played one after another.

At this time, Turkoglu, who has rich experience in the game, began to play hooligans again.

He plays with the ball and breaks inside. His speed is not fast, but his rhythm is very good.

It was difficult for Timberwolves players to adapt to his rhythm changes for a while. Love, Jefferson and Milicic were all hit and paid fouls on him.

Turkoglu didn't feel good about shooting in this game, but he always turned into a god of punishment at critical moments, which made people quite helpless.

The Raptors' offense today was supported by the free throws of Jack and Turkoglu.

It's okay to say that Jack is rushing in, but Turkoglu is completely cheated by the rhythm.

There are still relatively few players cheating free throws, and opponents hate it deeply.

Zhang Sixin was also very upset, and frowned and complained to the referee. Seeing his own move and his opponent's move, it felt completely different.

When the Raptors took the lead again, surprises appeared inadvertently.

Curry, who had been feeling bad before, suddenly came, and Zhang Sixin almost cheered loudly.

After Curry scored 5 points in a row, Jefferson also started to score in the low post.

The Timberwolves overtook the score, and the situation was very good.

However, with the referee's whistle, Jefferson fouled for the fifth time.

Zhang Sixin was also helpless. Jefferson was relatively active in defense today, but he was continuously called for fouls.

There are also teams with substitutes, and it doesn't matter if Curry doesn't have Jefferson's low post.

Love's partner Milicic is relatively stable.

Sure enough, right after Love hit another two points, Zhang Sixin raised his fist happily.

The Timberwolves performed an incomprehensible operation in the summer, and it turned out that there were so many people playing, it felt really cool.

But before he was happy for too long, Love was fouled again.

Look at the number, only four times, it can be stabilized.

As a result, within two rounds, the referee whistled Milicic again, and Milicic also committed four fouls.

Zhang Sixin almost couldn't control himself and was about to beat up the referee. How the hell is this kind of joy and sorrow.

Halfway through the final quarter, DeRozan scored 2+1, and the Timberwolves once again caught up with the score.

This somewhat mediocre game before, turned out to be exciting in the fourth quarter.

"Steady the defense." Zhang Sixin reminded the players on the sidelines.

But as soon as the words fell, Bargnani scored a three-pointer.

Zhang Sixin really didn't expect the Raptors' first three-pointer.

Back, Milicic down caused Bargnani's foul, but unfortunately only two free throws.

Then Bargnani hit another long two from the perimeter, and his touch seemed to come alive.

This is troublesome. The Raptors' defensive lineup really stretches their hips, but the fifth position feels good and plays directly with the ball on the outside. The Timberwolves are not easy to defend.

Fortunately, Love ate Bosh in the low post again, helping the team recover their blood.

It's a pity that the state seemed to be in the state at first. Bosh responded with a ball and singled out Love to score 2+1.

Zhang Sixin doesn't want to make a substitution now. Jefferson's pace is too slow. The Raptors dare not let him play if he is out of form. Moreover, he is also a fifth offender, so Love will play unless he is really punished.

Just when Zhang Sixin thought it might be over, Curry directly made a steal, and the Timberwolves immediately completed a fast break, and the situation on the field became confusing again.

Zhang Sixin felt that he might be unlucky today, and accidents would happen whatever he thought.

Metaphysics, is this going to be used?
Zhang Sixin was still making complaints, and the referee added drama.

Jack made a breakthrough, and Milicic was called a foul again for assisting defense.

This is good, the team's three insiders have five fouls, and no one should say anything.

Fortunately, Jack only made one of the free throws.

Moreover, the game time has entered the last minute or so, just stick to it.

If you change people, you still have to change, but not directly, but micro-operations.

Zhang Sixin will also play an offensive lineup and a defensive lineup.

Use Matthews and Jefferson on offense, Brewer and Milicic on defense, and fight the Raptors for the last time to see if he has a real back or a fake back.

Under such an operation, Jefferson actually hit two in a row.

Coupled with Love's scoring, the Timberwolves took the lead again.

And at this time, it was already the last few tens of seconds.

The Raptors requested a timeout, then traded Williams for Antawn White, a swingman with a better shot.

Zhang Sixin told the players to do a good job of defending this time. After the Raptors served, the ball was in Turkoglu's hands.

Turkoglu caught the ball and faked a shot, and then wiped it in under the cover of his teammates.

Now most of the attention is attracted by Turkoglu, after all, he is the free throw king in this game.

Turkoglu's speed is not fast, and Milicic's help defense is quickly in place.

But this time Turkoglu did not go strong, but gave the ball to the weak side.

This is not a high-position pick-and-roll, but the effect is similar.

Antoine White, who had just played, received the ball and hit the Raptors' second three-pointer of the game.

When Zhang Sixin heard a few words starting with F appearing next to him, everyone felt very fucked.

The Timberwolves' ball cannot be said to be a defensive error, because the Raptors' players are all outside, Milicic came to help defend, and the Timberwolves' defense immediately turned to Bargnani's side. Unexpectedly, the opponent seized this gap.

Turkoglu passed the ball so well, and the Raptors' three-point luck in most of the half was probably used on this ball.

The Timberwolves have already kicked off on the field, and the time is actually only a dozen seconds left.

Zhang Sixin was furious for a while, and did not call a timeout immediately.

But he saw that the Raptors seemed to have a problem with the defense after hitting a three-pointer, so he simply resisted the urge to call a timeout.

Let's take a look first, he'd better not interfere, after all, this situation is a bit metaphysical.

Curry rushed forward with the ball, and after reaching the opponent's half, he made a small but very quick change of direction and went straight in, breaking through for a layup.

Curry was bold and scored 2 points directly, so the Timberwolves went ahead by 1 point.

The Raptors didn't expect a change in a few seconds after the lucky three-pointer, and their players subconsciously served the ball quickly.

The Raptors have only one temporary left, and their coach Triano also endured it.

However, the Timberwolves retreated quickly, and Jack tried to copy Curry without success.

At this time, the head coach of the Raptors hurriedly called a timeout. In this way, there were only more than 5 seconds left, and it was time to test the Timberwolves' defense again.
