Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 67
"If the All-Stars want to choose the player with the best record, they can choose directly according to the record; if the All-Star wants to choose the player with the best statistics, they can just rank according to the statistics. However, the All-Star chooses the player who is the most popular among fans, and our players fully meet the requirements." Zhang Sixin said loudly to many reporters.

"The Timberwolves are a young team. We have many talented young people. Relying on our dedication to victory, we worked hard and defeated the No. [-] in the West and the No. [-] in the East. Our players are not eligible to enter the All-Stars, so who has?"

"If you want me to say, all Timberwolves players should be in the All-Stars, because our record is made by a group of young people, and they are the future of the league."

"I am here to thank the fans for their support for the players. We will continue to work hard to win every game, live up to the fans' hopes for us, and hope that the fans will support us more."

"Someone questioning us is questioning the cutest fans. We can't be knocked down by them. We just want to help young players who are talented and hardworking to enter the All-Stars and show themselves. Let's work together!"

Faced with many doubts, Zhang Sixin turned the interview scene into a speech scene.

It's so cool, I just like the way some people can't understand them and can't kill them.

In fact, Zhang Sixin is not completely fooling around or making strong words. The All-Star starting is to choose the fans' favorite players.

The NBA is a business league, and it's about making money. The players the fans like represent the commercial value. Who would have trouble with the dollar.

Zhang Sixin also said to several players: "The fans chose us, we must stand up to accept the love of the fans, and we must continue to work hard to win the game to prove that the fans' choice is not wrong."

"We will also continue to appeal to the fans to support us. If any of you really become an All-Star starter. The fans will be very happy, and I will be very happy."

With Zhang Sixin's enlightenment, the young Timberwolves are only happy.

Their thinking is not like the Huaguo people who worry about other people's opinions. They like to express themselves.

Instigated by Zhang Sixin, Curry also posted a dancing video on social media to solicit votes, which attracted rave reviews from fans.

Now that social media is still in the process of development, many players have no idea that communicating with fans on it can increase their popularity.

Zhang Sixin will definitely not give up this opportunity. Under his leadership, the Timberwolves players can be said to have become one with the fans.

Although there are many Chinese fans in their votes, there are also many American fans.

In a joyous atmosphere, the Timberwolves played against the Pacers at home.

Murphy came back in this game, and the Pacers also intend to avenge their shame.

Several Timberwolves players got so many All-Star votes, and other teams are also a little sour.

Many people want to teach them a lesson and let the fans see who is the All-Star player.

However, the strength of the Pacers is still weaker.

They took the lead in hitting a three-pointer this time, but were quickly found back.

The weak link on their defense is obvious, and Murphy still can't stand the starting four.

And Curry also scored when he came up, and the Pacers couldn't defend from the outside.

The Pacers' defense is not as bad as the Warriors', but it's not much better, especially in personal defense. The Timberwolves can score in singles in several positions.

"The team's rebounding is really great!" Zhang Sixin praised.

Now that the Timberwolves meet a team that is not so good inside, the rebounds are really oppressive.

In this case, when dealing with outside shooting teams like the Pacers, as long as they defend well, they can deal with it more calmly.

The Pacers started off well in this game, but Hibbert quickly got into foul trouble again, and they had more obvious problems.

The substitute gave them another wave, and Dunleavy still scored when he came off the bench.

But the Timberwolves' rotation players are not bad, Belinelli and Frye both performed.

But in the second quarter, Jefferson and Love both made efforts, and the Timberwolves still saw a clear advantage.

By the third quarter, the Timberwolves had completely established the lead, and the Pacers had no way to fight back.

The Timberwolves have three strong points, Curry, Jefferson and Love all got double-doubles.

And they all had double-doubles in points and rebounds. Many people would be a little surprised that Curry also had double-doubles in rebounds.

This fully demonstrated the Timberwolves' rebounding advantage, and they directly won over twenty opponents in the game.

In this way, the Timberwolves also won five consecutive victories.

Zhang Sixin's interview after the game was also succinct. He said: "I am proud of my players."

But after taking down the Pacers, the Timberwolves' easy days are gone, and the next one is an intensive schedule.

The next day, they will go to the East to play back-to-back away games.

The back-to-back opponents of the Timberwolves are the Bulls. This season, the Bulls officially strengthened the sophomore Rose as the core of the team's tactics.

Their performance was not good at the beginning due to running-in, but it cannot be said that their strength is poor.

As the season progresses, the Bulls, which are built on young players such as Rose, Noah, and Luol Deng, will gradually show their competitiveness in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, the weak link of this bull is also more obvious.

There is no complete organizer, the offensive end shooting is unstable, but the defensive end is very average.

When they invite defensive master Thibodeau next season to create a defensive tactic suitable for the Bulls, the Bulls will have more competitiveness in the East.

The Timberwolves started off well, and Curry looked fine.

But soon the Timberwolves ran into trouble, that is, the Bulls' two young men, Noah and Gibson, were not easy to play.

Jefferson and Love played relatively easily in the first few games, and they were a little swollen.

It was only after meeting the young insiders of the Bulls that they realized that they didn't seem to have much dominance inside.

The Bulls really have someone on the inside, not to mention the old Bai Miller. They also have Tyrus Thomas and James Johnson on the bench. They are both strong men. The Timberwolves really have nothing to do inside.

"The offense can't be said to be bad, but there must be a problem with the three-pointer." Zhang Sixin had a headache.

He doesn't know if the team's unstable three-point shooting is due to his more tactical changes. Maybe the Timberwolves focus on three-point tactics, and the players' three-pointers will be more stable.

But Zhang Sixin is still unwilling to do that. Isn't it a waste to play only one tactic with cheats?

The point is that tactics also require the cooperation of players. As the head coach, Zhang Sixin must watch the food and eat.

"The Bulls' offense still takes more mid-range shots, which are more difficult to limit."

"Hinrich's condition is really good today, fortunately Rose is relatively average."

Zhang Sixin looked at the situation on the court, tapped the tactical board, and thought about how to give the team an advantage.
