Chapter 271 The Beginning of the Western Conference Finals 2
Soon the referee came to the center of the court and threw the ball into the air, and then blew the whistle to start the game.

The first round of the Western Conference Finals, which has attracted the attention of fans all over the world, has officially begun.

Oden easily defeated Bogut with a jump ball, and then the basketball came to Dinwiddie. The Timberwolves' first attack, after Oden got stuck, Dinwiddie also directly lobbed the ball to Oden.

With three or two back hits, Oden easily opened up the space, and then turned around and made a one-handed buckle, which directly heated up the atmosphere of the scene.

Bogut really couldn't stand it. It seemed that the two were about the same size, but when Oden started to exert his strength, Bogut felt that what he was facing was not a normal person, but a humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex.

Cole on the sidelines sat there very comfortably. Even though Oden scored the first goal, there was no trace of anxiety on his face. He doesn't care, what he cares about is whether his offense can be played out.

Next it's the Warriors' turn to attack.

At this time, Cole seemed to realize why Chen Dazhuang had changed his formation.

Although the Warriors scored this goal, Cole found that the Timberwolves were very strict with their perimeter defense. Indeed, as Cole saw, the Warriors' defense in this game was to strictly defend the perimeter. You don't give the opponent a good chance to shoot from the outside. You can do it suddenly, unless you make a mid-range shot. As long as you want to score in the three-second zone, Oden is naturally waiting for you.

A very simple tactic, but Cole has to admit that this is the most suitable tactic for the opponent's current Warriors. The biggest reason is that the players' physical fitness can't keep up.

The previous series with the Clippers was too exhausting.

And as long as Curry or Thompson gets the ball on the Timberwolves side, they will take the initiative to pull away and let you play singles.

The height is not dominant, although for Curry, the feet move faster, but it is inevitable that when you try to single the opponent in front of you, if you have no cover, the single will inevitably consume you more of stamina and energy.

And Dinwiddie is intentionally sticking very tightly, actively seeking physical contact.

After a few rounds, Curry's chest began to heave.

It can be seen that Curry is also in good condition in this game, but the tiger can't stand the pack of wolves.

The Timberwolves' offensive tactics are also simple, that is, singles, singles in each position.

In fact, tactics cannot be used to describe it. It can be said that there seems to be no tactics at all, but it is the most deadly for the Warriors. It is obvious that the Timberwolves are trying to show their advantages as much as possible.

The score of the entire first quarter was still in an anxious state.

By the end of the first quarter, the score was 31-29, with the Timberwolves leading by only two points.

In the second quarter of the game, when Lin Shuhao and Bennett came on the court, facing the Warriors' bench lineup, Cole was a little anxious on the sidelines at this time.

Lin Shuhao, LaVine, and Bennett are on the outside, and Sims and Taylor Zeller are on the inside.

And who are the insiders on the Warriors' side? It's Azeri and Speights. Lin Shuhao on the outside is facing Livingston. LaVine is facing Barbosa. Under Te's entanglement, he did nothing.

At this time, in the competition of the rotation lineup, when the Timberwolves presented a completely suppressed situation, everyone understood why facing the Warriors and in such an important game as the Western Conference Finals, Chen Dazhuang had to adjust the lineup. The tactics are very simple, I just use my starting lineup to consume your little physical energy, and then use my rotation lineup to grab points.

In this way, your main force will not be able to play, and if you do it, your main force itself will be exhausted and you will not be able to get enough rest. Let alone this game, the next series may be greatly affected. If you don't change to the main force, you will just watch your rotation lineup being pressed to the ground and rubbed back and forth.

The most important thing is that the score is gradually being widened.

Seeing that the team was at a disadvantage, Cole no longer had the composure he had before the start of the game. He was also muttering non-stop, probably greeting Chen Dazhuang non-stop.

It is precisely because of Green's absence that the Warriors lacked a defensive gate in this playoffs.

To break the face.

After thinking about it for a while, Cole decided to replace the main players, and this is exactly what Da Zhuang wanted to see. After seeing the Warriors start to make substitutions, Da Zhuang also immediately arranged for all the starting players to play one after another.

After the two sides had all replaced their main players, the situation of the game fell into anxiety again.

But this anxiety is very detrimental to the Warriors.

The score is not much behind, and the point difference has always remained at around 8 points.

But these eight points seem to be an insurmountable trench for the Warriors.

What makes Cole helpless is that the guy on the opposite side is as difficult to deal with as a piece of dog skin plaster. As long as the Warriors make a substitution, Chen Dazhuang will immediately follow behind to make a counter-position substitution.

In the second half of the third quarter, as the Warriors' shooting rate dropped sharply, Da Zhuang on the sidelines also showed a smile on his face, and the sequelae of the tiebreaker finally broke out.

"Okay, there should be no problem with this game." Da Zhuang whispered to Smith and the others.

The point difference was still in single digits, but in less than 5 minutes, the Timberwolves widened the point difference to fifteen points.

Carlisle on the sidelines also stood on the sidelines and shook his head helplessly.

For Carlisle, the reason for this game is completely a crime other than war.

At 5 minutes and 13 seconds of the fourth quarter, seeing that the point difference was still widening, Carlisle also decisively replaced all the main players. Since there was no hope of winning, there was no need to waste the main players It is better to surrender as soon as possible, so that the team's main players can get some supplements to prepare for the next game.

Seeing that Carlisle replaced all the main players, Da Zhuang on the Timberwolves bench also high-fived Smith and others. Although the game is not over yet, in everyone's eyes, the game is over.

Soon after the remaining garbage time was exhausted, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of the game in time.

119 to 98, the Timberwolves won the game by 21 points.

This also took the lead in the series of the Western Conference Finals.
