Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 86

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves showed their real strength, but they had not had time to fully recover the score before the end of the first half.

However, Zhang Sixin already has an idea, and the team has a great chance to dominate the game in the second half.

As long as the team plays like in the second quarter, defending the three-pointers and the inside, the Bobcats will not have a play.

On the Bobcats side, Larry Brown emphasized defense, "If you want to win the game, you must be tougher. Each of you must do your own thing. On the basketball court, you can never be considered soft."

His expression was very serious, and the Bobcats players didn't speak. Looking at the atmosphere, they thought they were behind in the first half.

In the third quarter, the Bobcats still couldn't attack and could only let Jackson play singles.

On the Timberwolves side, they continue to combine internal and external.

A tall insider like Chandler will continue to be a substitute, and Zhang Sixin will definitely give the insider a chance to perform.

The Bobcats can't defend Jefferson on the inside alone, but if they shrink their defense, they will have opportunities on the outside.

But the Bobcats did not adjust immediately, they chose a certain amount of defense, coupled with accelerated defensive rotation.

Larry Brown doesn't like Chandler very much, and he doesn't want to use him even if the team has some difficulties.

Older coaches are a bit stubborn, so the Bobcats will trade Chandler to the Mavericks after the season to help the Mavericks by the way.

No matter how active the Bobcats are defensively, if the insiders can't handle the defensive system one-on-one, there will be loopholes.

The Timberwolves don't need to seize every opportunity, they only need to seize some of them to catch up with the score.

With Curry and Love both hitting three-pointers, the score gap between the two sides disappeared like a bubble.

After Jefferson was not so sharp in singles, Zhang Sixin started to rotate.

First, Love rests and Milicic, and then Jefferson rests and Frye. If Frye feels good, he can hit Love and the team will attack with all his strength.

There are so many people, but some operations can be performed according to the status of opponents and players.

Zhang Sixin doesn't like the regular replacement of players, although it may be relatively stable.

Frye felt good in the second half, and he was also a threat as a pure shooter on the outside when he was partnered with Milicic.

If the Bobcats hadn't been too hot in singles, Jackson would have been crushed to death by the Timberwolves.

As Jackson continues to feel better, Zhang Sixin will consider flanking.

The Bobcats don't have a particularly good organizer, so flanking must be useful, depending on whether it's necessary.

The truth is, there is no need.

As the second half progressed, Jackson's shooting percentage began to decline.

He is the Bobcats who played the most minutes, almost no rest in the second half, physical energy will always be exhausted.

When physical strength declines, no matter how good the previous performance is, the offensive end will be affected.

Jackson is at the All-Star level. The reason why he can't become an All-Star is because he can't play efficiently and stably. Most of the more powerful quasi-All-Stars have this problem.

Jackson also likes to pull up when he holds the ball. When he is in good shape, he really feels very powerful and can attack and defend.

But when he misses, the coach will also want to kill him, especially if he is not very obedient.

Career is always unable to stabilize in a team, and can not get too much salary, because the skills and temper are not very stable.

Before the Timberwolves were ready to attack, they waited for Jackson's efficient finish.

After he couldn't play, the Bobcats really had no one to score.

Their other strength is Wallace, who can't shoot very well. He can't play against a defensive team like the Timberwolves.

If it weren't for a player with obvious weaknesses, he wouldn't have been given to the Bobcats for nothing. You must know that although this buddy is a quasi-All-Star, he can also be an All-Star in the Eastern Conference. This year he has his share.

When a purely defensive team wants to score, it is really pitiful. The Timberwolves played another wave with an offensive lineup. After confirming the lead, they took the defensive route.

Just let Milicic lead the defense inside, and his partner Love or Jefferson are very stable.

Milicic has been extraordinarily desperate this time, and has already scored a double-double and 3 blocks.

Larry Brown looked very bad on the sidelines, but there was really nothing he could do.

The Bobcats have so many cards. Larry Brown's style is still mainly defensive, and he is not good at chasing points.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Timberwolves had already led by 10 points.

During the rotation period, the Timberwolves still grasped it more accurately.

But that's it, the Bobcats still didn't deliberately arrange three-point tactics.

Defending, and then scrupulously looking for opportunities, Zhang Sixin felt stable sitting on the sidelines.

The Timberwolves didn't find any opportunities in the last few minutes, and the Bobcats' defense was really nothing to say.

However, they were in the lead, and they were not in a hurry at all, so they won the game steadily.

After the game, Larry Brown criticized the players for not giving it their all until the last minute.

"We had a chance to win, but we didn't make it to the end. If the players don't give it their all, they lose the game. I told them what to do during the timeout, but unfortunately no one did."

Zhang Sixin is looking forward to the All-Star, "I can have a good rest this weekend, but I still want to go to the scene to cheer for the players. This is their first All-Star, and I like to witness this moment."

In fact, the All-Star Weekend is also during the Huaguo Spring Festival.

Zhang Sixin can't go back, but it's not interesting to stay in Minnesota to suffer from the cold. The weather in Dallas is better. As a single dog, he plans to go for a stroll.

However, there were still some slight changes in his plan.

When calling home, his parents asked him to take care of himself during the Spring Festival.

"Yang Yuyu is studying here?" Zhang Sixin was a little surprised when he heard the news.

A fuzzy image of a kid and an urban white-collar appeared in his mind. Counting his previous life, he hadn't seen this little girl for a long time.

Yang Yuyu is considered a neighbor's child, much younger than him, and Zhang Sixin felt a little annoyed when he was always pestering him when he was a kid.

Later, when their family moved to the provincial capital, they basically lost contact.

I met at a banquet later in the previous life, and the other party worked in the provincial capital, and I felt that we got along very well, but at that time, the feelings of the two parties were already a little strange.

At this time, Yang Yuyu is indeed of college age, but has she ever studied abroad?Zhang Sixin really didn't know.

Because the school winter vacation is different from that in China, Yang Yuyu can't go back during the Spring Festival. Her family is busy with business in the provincial capital and has no time to come to accompany her. Hearing that Zhang Sixin is also in the United States, I came to see him.

The two adults have never lost contact. Yang Yuyu wanted to come to see him for the holidays. His parents must have been admonishing him for a while. Zhang Sixin simply asked the other party to go directly to Dallas and take her to the All-Star Weekend.
