Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 348 The Third Round 5
From the starting lineups of the two sides, it can be seen that there is almost no change. The playoffs have entered the current stage, and there are no secrets for both sides.

Soon after the starting players of both sides stood in their positions, the referee on the sidelines came to the center of the field after communicating with the technical desk. After briefly communicating with the players of both sides, he checked the time and immediately He threw the basketball in his hand into the air, and immediately blew the whistle to start the game.

Accompanied by the sound of the whistle, cheers like landslides and tsunami sounded at the scene, and amidst such cheers, Oden and Bogut jumped up at the same time, and the two stretched their hands towards the basketball as hard as they could.

In the end, Oden had the absolute upper hand, but it seems that the Warriors are not prepared to get the first attack. Since Oden joined the Timberwolves, as long as Oden is present in the game, the Timberwolves have never lost the opening goal. The first attack, so many teams now don't even arrange for the center to jump the ball with Oden when they are playing against the Timberwolves. After the game started, the opponent began to retreat.

The Warriors did the same this time around.

Bennett protected the basketball that Oden dialed, and then handed the ball to Dinwiddie.

Curry did not retreat, but followed Dinwiddie, constantly interfering with Dinwiddie's dribbling rhythm in an attempt to slow down the Timberwolves' offensive speed.

But after Middleton approached, Dinwiddie used the screen to dribble the ball to the left, and Thompson, who followed Middleton, completed the defense switch with Curry at this moment.

Facing Thompson who was defending himself, Dinwiddie made an emergency stop and then accelerated forward. The emergency stop was followed by a crotch dribble and a change of hand to dribble the ball in the opposite direction, but Thompson, who was trying to follow, It was blocked by Jokic who was mentioned to the high position, but Dinwiddie hit the ball to Middleton on the weak side in a way of not looking at people at this time.

Middleton, who received the ball, made a shooting action on the spot and directly hit Curry, then adjusted and completed a three-pointer.

After the basketball flew in the air for a certain distance, it fell into the basket precisely.

The first attack in the opening game ended with a three-pointer, and Da Zhuang, who had been standing on the sidelines, also applauded.

Then it was the Warriors' turn to attack. Both teams adopted perimeter-based offensive tactics. As Da Zhuang said before, he did not believe that the Warriors could maintain a high shooting percentage.

It is also an infinite pick-and-roll dislocation, but this time Curry's shot from the outside line is out of the frame.

The rebounds are naturally well protected by Jokic and Oden.

Cole on the sidelines frowned slightly when Curry failed to hit the three-pointer.

The failure to score this goal made Cole feel a little bit bad.

Next it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack again.

It's just like the replica of the last ball, except that the person who completed the shot is different, but Dinwiddie is still the one who sent the assist. This time Dinwiddie suddenly rushed inside after Jokic's pick-and-roll screen, but just in When everyone thought that Jokic was about to fall into the double-team of Green and Bogut, Dinwiddie threw the ball directly behind him.

And the direction of the basketball flight is Jokic, and it is Curry standing in front of him.

Jokic didn't even adjust after receiving the ball, and directly shot a three-pointer.

As a result, there were no accidents, and the basketball fell into the basket again.

After making three-pointers, the Timberwolves hit consecutive three-pointers from the outside. They used this method to tell their opponents that not only you are good at three-pointers, but we are also good at it.

The Warriors' offense finally scored in the next round. It was not Curry who hit, but Green who was emptied. After receiving a pass from Thompson in the bottom corner, he hit an open three-pointer.

But this team, the Timberwolves, has no influence. You can score and I can score, and I am more accurate than you.

All the offenses of the two sides in the entire first quarter were carried out around the outside line.

However, it can be seen from the score that the Timberwolves have the upper hand.

At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court was temporarily fixed at 34 to 29. The Timberwolves led by five points and entered the second quarter.

The short intermission passed quickly, and the second quarter of the match between the two sides began with the referee's whistle.

Both head coaches have chosen rotations.

However, Cole didn't last long. The Warriors' rotation lasted less than 4 minutes, and Cole was forced to replace the main force, because the Timberwolves' rotation directly defeated the Warriors. Brooks, who came off the bench, was blessed by the system buff, and the various passes of Black Bean, who was already very flexible, made Livingston hard to defend.

His cooperation with LaVine quickly overwhelmed the Warriors.

On the Timberwolves side, Da Zhuang didn't rush to replace the main force this time, especially Dinwiddie.

The buffs of the system can be used in rotation this time, so the next step is to let Brooks continue to consume Curry's physical energy, and even directly foul when necessary. In short, the task given to Brooks by Dazhuang is to not give Curry easy The opportunity to catch the ball and make an easy shot, and foul decisively when the situation is wrong.

Soon this tactic played a big role.

In less than 5 minutes, Curry, who has always been an important scoring point for the Warriors, did not take a single shot. Although the price was that Brooks contributed two fouls, it was not worthwhile for the Warriors because it was already a serious problem. It has affected the offensive rhythm of the Warriors.

As soon as 5 minutes came, Chen Dazhuang chose to make a substitution, Dinwiddie replaced Brooks, and Middleton replaced LaVine.

Now just in terms of physical reserves, the Timberwolves have a great advantage.

With all the main players from the Timberwolves on the field, the situation on the field gradually became a little unfavorable for the Warriors.

The Warriors fans in the stands could only watch helplessly as the score difference between the team they supported and the Timberwolves gradually increased. Although they still maintained a high enthusiasm to cheer for the team, they did not have any effect.

By the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two sides has exceeded 15 points. Although this point difference still has a great chance for a game, everyone can understand the situation now. When it comes to a big problem, it is impossible to have a chance if this problem is not solved.

Cole kept emphasizing the people who followed him to the starting main force on the sidelines.
