The Warriors' next regular season game is on the road against the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves have been rotten for years, and even worse since Garnett left.

So far, the Timberwolves have a 1-5 record and are in contention for the top spot this season.

But after Zhou Yang and Curry came to Minnesota, they slipped around outside and choked on the cold.

This is the habit of the two of them, when they arrive at a place, they want to walk around the hotel.

In fact, this is just because both of them are rookies, they are too energetic, and everything is fresh.

After a few years, they will definitely not have this habit.

The old ball ruffian arrives away, except for sleeping in the hotel, it is training, and he will not go out to play at all.

Another reason is that although they are relatively famous, they have not yet become superstars.

After many years, both of them are superstars, and it is impossible to go out and play like this, they will definitely be surrounded by fans, and they will not be able to play at all.

Even now, the two are often recognized by fans on the road when they go out, and they strongly ask for autographs or group photos.

After walking around, after returning to the hotel, the two felt that their hands and feet were frozen and unconscious, and then they knew the seriousness of the problem.

The next morning, when the players were training, Nelson Sr. found that Zhou Yang and Curry's movements were very stiff and cold.

"Hey, what's the matter with you two? Can't play anymore? ”

Faced with the manager's questioning, the two had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Coach, we ...... It's just a little uncomfortable to freeze, but it'll be fine for a while. ”

"You guys, really children......" Old Nelson didn't reproach the two, just shook his head and walked away.

Nelson Sr. is very experienced, and he doesn't feel the need to criticize rookies for this little thing.

If it is really because of the freeze, the game is not in good shape, and the game is lost, I believe that the feeling of losing will cause them a great sense of guilt.

This is also a kind of lesson, and the next time they go to the away game, they don't dare to go out and play casually without the coach's advice.

Eight o'clock in the evening, Target Center Arena.

The Timberwolves host the Warriors, who have won six in a row.

Although the Timberwolves have been hovering in the bottom few seasons, there are no weak teams in the NBA, so in the first half of the first quarter of the game, the Timberwolves played very hard, and the scores of the two sides were very close.

Zhou Yang and Curry's hands are still cold, but fortunately, their teammates are in good shape, so they are not behind.

After more than 5 minutes in the first quarter, Zhou Yang shot 1 of 3, and the goal was still a dunk.

Curry shot 0 of 4, banged the iron, and was about to smash the basket.

Old Nelson shook his head lightly on the sidelines, he knew that today's game was dangerous.

The reason why the Warriors have been able to achieve impressive results this season is the explosive performance of Zhou Yang and Curry.

The other Warriors players are basically the same as last year's team.

Last year, the Warriors finished 11th in the West in the regular season, which was actually about the same as the Timberwolves.

During the official pause, Nelson Sr. didn't say much about tactics, because today's tactics were fine, but the two cores didn't feel good.

But the coach still emphasized the defense.

Offense can deceive you, defense doesn't, as long as you have an attitude, defense won't be bad.

After the timeout, the Warriors stepped up their defense, and the Timberwolves players' shooting percentage began to decline.

Relying on defense, the Warriors took a slight lead in the first quarter.

28:26。

Zhou Yang scored 4 points, a dunk, a rebound, Curry made a foul by breaking through and scored 2 points from the free throw.

The duo's sluggish performance in the first quarter once again drew ridicule from the media and fans.

Zhou Yang's passing was also affected, and the passing time was always a little worse.

Fancy passing is very demanding on the feeling of the player's hands, and after the hands are numb, the strength and direction of the pass are not so accurate, and there are several more mistakes.

In the second quarter of the game, Zhou Yang and Curry still did not feel good, and the Timberwolves took advantage of the home court advantage to overtake the score.

At halftime, the Timberwolves actually led by seven points, 62:55.

Zhou Yang scored 11 points in the half, and Curry scored 6 points, which was significantly lower than the average of the previous regular season games.

After the start of the third quarter, after the Warriors' defensive intensity came up, the Timberwolves' shooting percentage dropped again, and the two sides began to stalemate.

Although Zhou Yang and Curry still don't feel good, they reduce their shots, increase passes, and try to let their teammates finish.

With this strategy, the Warriors slowly caught up with the score.

Margety and Jackson carried the offensive banner and it worked well.

At the end of the third quarter, the Warriors not only caught up with the score, but also overtook by 1 point.

78:77.

In the first half of the fourth quarter, Zhou Yang and Curry rested below, and the two teams were still playing fiercely, and the score was deadlocked.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves are also a bad team, and if they are replaced by the Suns, the Warriors should have fallen behind by 30 points.

In the second half of the fourth quarter, Zhou Yang and Curry appeared again.

While maintaining the defensive intensity, Zhou Yang strengthened the lethality of the pass.

He began to give his post players seconds so that he could score quickly and efficiently.

With Zhou Yang's efforts, the Warriors finally got some advantages, and finally won the Timberwolves without danger.

Zhou Yang played 33 minutes today, scored 19 points and dished out 12 assists, while Curry only scored 10 points.

Although the process of the game was a little rough and a little ugly, in the end he won the game.

Zhou Yang and Curry broke out in a cold sweat, and the two of them also accepted the lesson, and they would never dare to go out to play easily in the future.

At the very least, it is necessary to look at the weather conditions of the visiting team in advance and take protective measures.

Zhou Yang's rival, Jennings of the Bucks, defeated the Hornets at home today, and Jennings scored another 35 points.

Jennings was praised by the media.

In the battle for Rookie of the Month, Jennings took the lead again.

For NBA players, this is a once-in-a-lifetime achievement that is very important.

Zhou Yang didn't want to lose this honor, and Jennings was even more eager for it.

The media criticized the Warriors' game, especially Zhou Yang and Curry.

Barkley said on a talk show: "Zhou Yang is still unbearable, it is really disappointing to play so poorly in the face of a weak team!" ”

"In vain after my last game, I also apologized to him, it seems that Zhou Yang wants to prove that he is a qualified core player, and it takes many games to do it, otherwise it can only show that he is a nerve knife player!"

Magic Johnson praised Zhou Yang in the last game, but after today's game, he unceremoniously criticized it.

"Zhou Yang's hand feels cold, it's nothing, but his passing has also lost its power, which disappoints me too much, it seems that in the last game, he just had a flash of inspiration and can't continue."

Not only did the celebrities criticize the two, but the sunspots among those fans were even more merciless and began to spray wildly.
