Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 345 The third round

Soon the game started at the referee's whistle.

After Dinwiddie got the ball from Oden, he also quickly dribbled the ball across the half court. He stood on the three-point line and watched Curry who was waiting for him. Then he quickly pulled his body back. In the past Timberwolves' opening offensive tactics, Dinwiddie didn't hold the ball after he dribbled the ball for half the court, but he chose to hand over the ball more, basically according to the situation on the field. Choose to hand over to Jokic, Middleton or Oden, and after he handed over the ball, he still chooses to run without the ball to create space for his teammates.

So after the opening, Curry's defensive tactics against Dinwiddie on the Warriors' side are also arranged in accordance with this arrangement.

But for the first attack in the opening game, Cole on the sidelines frowned slightly, because the ball had been in Dinwiddie's hands for a long time.

And just when he thought so, Dinwiddie made a move.

It's just that it wasn't the pass he predicted, but a shot. Jokic and Grant's double screens allowed Dinwiddie to find the opportunity to make a shot, and according to Da Zhuang's account before the game, he didn't hesitate at all.

This outside three-point shot was very accurate. After flying for a while, the basketball quickly fell into the basket.

And that made Cole even more puzzled. It was the Warriors' turn to attack next, and Dinwiddie's defense made Cole suddenly feel a little bad.

Dinwiddie's defense against Curry is very good, and he just doesn't give Curry a chance to shoot from the outside easily. It doesn't matter if you want to break through, but you don't give it three points, unless every ball is the kind of super long shot that is suddenly shot three points.

Whether it is height or weight strength, Dinwiddie has the advantage. If it is normal, Dinwiddie is weaker in speed and flexibility, but today with the blessing of the system buff, the gap in the weaknesses is basically gone. And the advantages are greater.

In this way, Curry's entanglement with Dinwiddie got into trouble.

After observing a few rounds on the sidelines, Cole also found that the Timberwolves changed their tactics in today's game, especially the offensive tactics. At least today, the core of the Timberwolves' offense has become Dinwiddie. They all played off the ball, which directly made the Warriors' tactical arrangements after the opening all useless.

13 to 2, the Timberwolves stopped the Warriors soon after the opening.

After Dinwiddie attracted the Warriors' defensive attention, a wonderful pass sent the ball to Grant who was emptied, and then Grant, who was standing in the weakside corner, hit the open three-pointer.

The referee on the field also signaled the Warriors on the sidelines to apply for a timeout.

This game is not only concerned about the fans of the two teams. At this time, the two teams participating in the Eastern Conference finals are also watching this game. The strength of the Timberwolves also made the Cavaliers and Raptors feel a little pressure, especially For the Cavaliers, you must know that the Timberwolves put enough pressure on them in the finals last season, and if they are still their opponents in the finals this season, it will be too much pressure for the Cavaliers, so the Cavaliers What everyone wants to see most is that the Warriors can eliminate the Timberwolves.

But the current situation made the Cavaliers even feel a little bit of pressure.

There are also some head coaches of other teams. Chen Dazhuang's miraculous performance in the past two seasons naturally made them pay attention to the Timberwolves. In addition, the performance of the Warriors this season is also against the sky. The encounter naturally attracted the attention of many basketball practitioners.

Originally, many people thought that the Timberwolves and the Warriors should be fighting to the death, but they are worried that the game is now becoming one-sided, which is beyond many people's expectations.

The timeout of the game on the field ended, but after the game started, the Warriors clearly had little effect on the performance of the two teams on the field.

Dinwiddie's performance really surprised everyone.

In previous Timberwolves games, the three people who attracted the most attention were Middleton, Jokic and Oden. Dinwiddie's presence was very low, but today's game has become the focus of the scene .

In the whole one-on-one with the opponent's core, he did not lose the upper hand, and even vaguely gained the upper hand.

Curry has not scored a point since the game so far. It is hard to imagine such a situation in previous Warriors games. Cole on the sidelines also became a little anxious.

In addition, the Timberwolves still have a little change in defensive tactics, that is, after the Warriors were frustrated by Curry, the Warriors soon shifted their offense to Thompson, but soon after Thompson made several consecutive hits, the Timberwolves A change was made quickly here. Grant consciously exchanged defensive targets with Middleton when Thompson held the ball and used his teammates to cover. The change brought about was that Grant also restricted Thompson. The two strongest points on the perimeter were completely locked by the Timberwolves.

As for Bogut and Green on the inside, they can't help at all. At this time, the role of the Timberwolves' powerful inside line has come into play. It is the restraint of Oden and Jokic that makes Green dare not go out of the three-second zone at will, or even pack it casually. Clip, because Jokic put too much pressure on him.

As long as you don't pay attention, Jokic will either pass the ball or directly crush him, or suddenly mention the outside three-pointer. Jokic's shooting range makes Green follow him every step of the way.

As for the confrontation between Oden and Bogut, Bogut was at a comprehensive disadvantage from the very beginning of the game, and his teammates could not help him. The Timberwolves have brought huge benefits. The first is that there are more shots from the outside, because there is no need to worry about rebounds. The second is that Dinwiddie, Middleton and Grant from the outside are more focused on defending the opponent's outside shots. Into the inside to create lethality, then treat you to eat Fatty brand hot pot, or Great Emperor brand.

With 2 minutes and 10 seconds left in the first quarter, the Warriors replaced the main players one after another. Seeing this situation, they also made targeted adjustments, and the two sides started a confrontation with the rotation lineup.

LaVine, Yi Jianlian, Brooks, Bennett and Sims all appeared one after another.

At this time, it can be seen that the Timberwolves are strong in the rotation lineup, and they are not at a disadvantage against the Warriors' rotation lineup, especially the damage caused by LaVine's attack on the inside at the second position quickly made the Warriors a little overwhelmed up.
