Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 317
Fortunately, the Timberwolves have some advantages in other positions in the rotation, so although Curry still maintains a good feel, the point difference has not been widened.

Yi Jianlian and LaVine both hit three-pointers from the outside line one after another. In this way, Cole's expectations were completely defeated, so he replaced Curry with Livingston again soon, in order to let the main force get a rest time.

At 5 minutes and 17 seconds into the second quarter, Cole and Da Zhuang replaced all the main players one after another.

The real confrontation begins from this moment.

After the substitution, the game restarted, but this time the pack of wolves bared their deadly fangs at the warriors.

Cole, who had a relaxed expression at first, with a posture of winning, disappeared completely within a few minutes, and was replaced by an expression of anxiety and confusion.

Whether it is the offensive end or the defensive end on the field, the Timberwolves showed a better state than in the first quarter. Middleton, Dinwiddie and Jokic frequently began to show off on the outside.

Middleton even made three consecutive offenses and hit a three-pointer against Thompson from the outside.

These three three-pointers also greatly increased the morale of the Timberwolves.

And the most deadly thing for the Warriors is not only that, the most deadly thing is that the Timberwolves' defensive strength is the same as his offense. The wave of attack was directly blocked back as if it had hit a dam.

Curry, Thompson and the insider Bogut were successively arranged hot pot meals by the Timberwolves.

Under this ebb and flow, the original 6-point difference was quickly smoothed out, and even the Timberwolves overtook the Warriors by 7 points. After the substitution, the Timberwolves directly gave the Warriors a 13-0 climax.

Cole on the sidelines could only quickly call a timeout.

To be honest, he really didn't understand what happened to the opponent. The tactics on the field were still the same, but the effect was completely different from that in the first quarter.

If it weren't for the clear scores of both sides on the scoreboard, Cole would have suspected that all this shit seemed to be an illusion.

He couldn't figure it out, he could only blame all this on the sudden state of the players.

Cole feels that such a phenomenon cannot be maintained forever, so he also hopes to cool down the opponent's fiery touch and morale through a timeout.

The Warriors fans in the stands have also been cheering for the team.

Even because of the team's backwardness, the volume of cheering and cheering was much louder than before.

Soon the timeout expired, and the two sides returned to the court again. At this time, the Timberwolves chose to make a substitution. Yi Jianlian replaced Oden. Biao with the opponent about the outside line.

Back on the court, the game restarts.

The Warriors' possession of the offensive ball, this time they scored the ball. Brandon missed a three-pointer from the outside, but Bogut seized the opportunity to make a dunk and scored the ball.

Although the outside line missed, it broke the scoring drought anyway.

But when the Timberwolves attacked next, the positions of the five players on the Timberwolves field made Cole start to curse in his heart.

The Timberwolves once again resorted to a wonderful offensive tactic. There was no one in the entire inside three-second zone, and five people were constantly interspersed on the outside and inside without the ball.

Everyone is moving quickly, pick and roll, screen, switch the ball, dislocation, dislocation, and constantly form dislocations to attract the Warriors' defensive center of gravity, and then form an open space on the outside.

All five had three-pointers, and it was impossible to double-team at all.

Throughout the second half of the second quarter, all of the Timberwolves' offenses did not hit the inside line once, and none of the shots were inside the three-point line. All the shots were outside the three-point line.

Although this kind of offense is very extreme, there is no guarantee of rebounds inside, and the other three-pointers have a shooting percentage after all, but one thing is very important. The Warriors are also a team that is good at three-pointers. After the stimulation, unconsciously, it also means that I want to confront the other party.

This is where it hurts the Golden State Warriors the most.

Because in this way you have completely entered the rhythm of the Timberwolves.

Even Cole's consecutive timeouts didn't work very well. The Warriors are already playing a little bit better.

At the end of the second quarter, the point difference between the two sides was widened again, but it was different from the end of the first quarter. At this time, the leading side had become the Timberwolves.

68 to 53, a full 15 points difference.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the halftime game, although the Warriors fans in the stands were still cheering for the Warriors at the top of their lungs and booing the Timberwolves with all their strength, many people felt that the Feel something different.

At the beginning of the game, the voices of these fans were full of hope. When the Warriors took the lead and ended the first quarter, the voices of these fans were full of excitement and happiness. Mixed with this is a trace of unwillingness and fear.

"Zhang Zhi, what do you think of the match between the two sides?"

"It can only be said that the Timberwolves played too smartly. The Warriors had no rhythm at all in the second half of the second quarter. They were led by the Timberwolves, whether it was the defensive end or the offensive end. It can be seen that Chen Dazhuang really has his own set of things in terms of on-the-spot command, and Cole lost in just on-the-spot command."

"If the Timberwolves win this game, it will really be a reborn feeling. It should be said that in the next schedule, the team's self-confidence has been greatly improved."

"Yes, after all, judging from the round record, although the two sides are very close, the gap between the Warriors and the Timberwolves is only one game, but if the Timberwolves win this game, it means that the Warriors have already been double-killed by the Timberwolves this season. When the two sides meet again in the regular season or the playoffs, this psychological advantage is too great, and it will definitely be a heavy blow to the morale of the Warriors."

After returning to the locker room, the two sides also started the arrangement for the final half.

And the performances of both sides in the first half were also being discussed intensely in the major live broadcast rooms.

Soon the intermission time came, and the players of both sides returned to the court from the player tunnel again. The third quarter of the game also started with the referee's whistle.

Warriors' offense.

Curry used the cover of his teammates in the frontcourt to complete another three-point shot. The basketball still fell into the basket accurately. Even though the team is currently at a disadvantage and the morale of the team is declining, Curry still maintains nice touch.
