Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 56 Mainly Handsome
When Curry and Love led the rotation, they both played high efficiency, and the Timberwolves' lead came to double digits without any suspense.

Arenas really wants to turn the tide, but unfortunately his current strength is still lower than when he was at his peak.

Moreover, all fools knew that he was going to attack. Of course, Zhang Sixin arranged a flanking tactic.

After Arenas hit the iron for a while, the Wizards had no hope of a comeback.

In the end, the Timberwolves beat the Wizards by 20 points.

At the critical moment, none of the Wizards' Three Musketeers performed well, but Foye performed very hard.

Because Foye is the main bargaining chip for the Timberwolves to trade the No. 5 pick, Foye also came to the Timberwolves with similar operations when he was a rookie.

Now that the deal has come to Curry, it must be a blood profit.

Foye really wanted to prove himself in front of his old club, but unfortunately he couldn't do it.

After the game, he was also aggrieved and expressed his desire for revenge, but as a small person, he didn't pay much attention.

Zhang Sixin took Brewer, who scored 20+ points for the first time in the season, to an interview. Brewer was also quite excited. He said to reporters excitedly: "I feel that we are a young team. We are improving every game. I hope we can maintain this momentum throughout the season."

Zhang Sixin also hopes that the players can maintain a good state. Brewer is actually a relatively easy-to-use player. If his shots are more stable, Zhang Sixin will not win his starting position. Unfortunately, his weak links are also obvious.

On the losing side, Timberwolves head coach Saunders was very helpless. As an experienced head coach, he found that he couldn't handle the current Wizards.

He said: "I'm frustrated, as I said to our players, as a coach, I'm not going to make changes defensively or otherwise, it's just because we didn't give our best, or didn't play the game properly. If you don't give your best and don't follow the plan, you don't play well."

Arenas criticized himself. He said: "When we were behind, I felt that I had to shoulder the task of leading the team forward. I was the team's sinner. When we were behind, I didn't let the team repeatedly send out the motivation to move forward."

"Right now, we're one of the worst teams on the East Coast until we can improve our performance."

After defeating the Wizards at home, the Timberwolves are going away again.

Before going to the away game, Zhang Sixin actually received a call from the Basketball Association.

Because the promotional program of the Timberwolves has been broadcast in China, and there is also a personal interview with Zhang Sixin.

It talked about the issue of coaching the national team, which also aroused heated discussions in domestic circles.

Regardless of whether it is because of public opinion or respect for the first domestic NBA head coach, the Basketball Association has to contact Zhang Sixin.

In fact, the Basketball Association has long wanted to contact him. The title of NBA head coach is nothing in the United States, but it is relatively tall in China.

However, after last year's Olympic Games, the national team temporarily has no competition tasks.

Whether it's basketball or football in China, the local coaches and foreign coaches take turns. It's like the two-party system in many countries. When you need to take the blame, you can change it.

Because it is generally believed that the level of foreign coaches is relatively high, when there are important games, foreign coaches are generally used to coach in China, and at other times, local coaches may lead the team to make the transition.

For the current national team, the local coach Guo Guo has only been in office for a few months, otherwise the Basketball Association will definitely contact Zhang Sixin earlier to let the national team try an NBA-level coach.

However, the national team led by Guo was defeated by Iran in the final of the Asian Championships, and the local team lost the championship. If there is a suitable candidate, the Basketball Association does not mind substituting.

After the Basketball Association contacted Zhang Sixin, someone soon came to Minnesota to have an interview with Zhang Sixin.

The other party was quite enthusiastic, but after Zhang Sixin finished his many requests, the officials of the Basketball Association were a little embarrassed.

In the end, the other party could only leave the polite words of going back to study and research, and this research may be fruitless.

It happened that Zhang Sixin didn't want to take over now, and he didn't have much time, so he was relieved that they couldn't reach an agreement.

It is only serious if everyone compliments each other a few times in the air. If we want to deal with each other in real life, I am afraid that it will offend others and it will not be worthwhile.

The Timberwolves went to the away game at the end of the month and were beaten back by the Spurs.

There is no shame in losing to the Spurs in the Western Conference, but there will always be a bit of a bad taste.

Now the league's argument is that Duncan is old after 33 years old, but Zhang Sixin knows that the old man can play for a long time, and has always maintained a threat on both offensive and defensive ends, especially the defensive end.

In fact, the Spurs are now in the stage of trying to remodel.

Starting from a strong defensive team, they gradually focused on offense, especially outside offense, and successfully turned into a comprehensive strong team.

But in the process, their record will fluctuate, and Duncan also looks old in advance.

This season, the Spurs introduced Richard Jefferson and McDyess and still maintained their competitiveness.

Of course, their current role players are still not good enough. Later, the Spurs have a bunch of chaotic masters on the bench, and the GDP combination can have a second spring.

And this time, the Timberwolves were not actually killed by GDP, they were thrown to death by a sudden attack on the Spurs' seemingly old, weak and sick rotation.

Spurs substitute Roger Mason caught people off guard with a few three-pointers.

However, although the game was lost, the Timberwolves players in the second round of the All-Star voting had more supporters.

The effect of publicity is different, especially in Huaguo, where the number of Timberwolves fans has risen very fast.

In fact, the votes in the hands of many fans are idle, and they have to vote.

You must know that the injured McGrady, as well as the Rockets striker Ariza and Scola, have all been voted into the top ten in the Western Conference by Chinese fans.

Now that there are other options, you can also support the players under Zhang Sixin. The Timberwolves have performed well this season, and Curry and Love also look good, don't they?
Therefore, Curry rose to fifth among the Western Conference guards. Among Kobe, Nash, Paul, and McGrady, only Kobe had the highest votes, which was not far behind the other three.

Love also came to the fifth position of the western forward, surpassing Durant.

Anthony, Duncan, Nowitzki and Gasol are ahead of Love, and only Anthony has more votes. It is not that there is no chance of defeating the first three.

Jefferson has no choice, he is still the third center in the Western Conference, because the first two opponents are relatively strong, although his number of votes has increased a lot, he still does not surpass Stoudemire and Bynum.

The news of the All-Star voting diluted the unhappiness caused by the loss of the game.

Zhang Sixin also fulfilled his promise and kept calling for votes for several players on his personal social media.

As the head coach of the team, his fans have actually grown rapidly.

Nothing else, mainly handsome.
