NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 164 Su Chen Got Her Own Toy

Cheers came from the target center.

For the Timberwolves, being able to get the first win in the series is obviously extremely exciting.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was the core of the game, did not score too high, but he surrendered a large triple-double of 23 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists.

After Kerr woke up and used Green to defend Giannis Antetokounmpo, his scoring did drop, but turning to help his teammates make Giannis Antetokounmpo more effective than his own singles Still big.

The rest did not score particularly high. Butler scored 21 points, and the others basically scored a few or a dozen points.

For the Warriors, Curry scored a super high score of 50 points, directly breaking the playoff career scoring record.

When the Timberwolves adopted unlimited defenses, most of the time it was Covington, who was relatively ordinary in single defense, and Curry's 50 points in the game were not too much.

However, some of these points were forced shots in the BOX-1 tactic, which lowered the hit rate.

Of the other Warriors, only Thompson scored 16 points, and the rest scored even lower.

Curry created his career high scoring record in the playoffs, but did not win the game. This is obviously nothing for Curry to celebrate.

"Cole really has to think about it, how to solve the problem with unlimited defense and BOX-1."

Kenny Smith shook his head.

Even as a member of the Warriors, he has to admit that the Warriors are now in a quagmire.

Su Chen left behind a mature passing and cutting system in the Warriors, which can indeed help the Warriors reduce running-in and quickly return to the strength that a championship team should have.

Cole used his own tactical knowledge reserve, coupled with Su Chen's mature and optimized tactical system, to make the Warriors a competitive championship team.

When looking forward to the playoffs, the media generally classified the Warriors as the top three teams, which is also the role of this mature system.

But now the Warriors encounter the first problem, which turned out to be the former coach.

Those who made this team of warriors are now going to destroy this team of warriors with their own hands.

Cole used Su Chen's more mature tactical system, but it fell into Su Chen's arms and was manipulated by Su Chen.

"Cole thought he had found a treasure, a mature tactical system and a champion team."

"But the former owner turned into a toy."

Barkley said proudly.

He was not happy with the Warriors' three-point system. He was naturally very happy when the Warriors lost at this time.

"Maybe people really have to re-examine the Timberwolves. The Warriors now seem to be very difficult to break the Timberwolves' countermeasures."

"At the same time, for the coach Su Chen, everyone's evaluation may also need to be updated. How much credit does Su Chen deserve for winning the championship last season?"

Johnson said with some exclamation.

"Maybe the Timberwolves have too much to do against the other two favorite teams, the Heat and the Spurs, but Su Chen has too much to do with the Warriors."

O'Neill also said with a smile.

Several people agreed with O'Neill's words.

Throughout the game, it seemed that Su Chen really treated Cole as a toy, especially the guessing tactics of the two timeouts were too powerful.

Cole watched the opponent's players celebrate in groups, and the cheers around him made Cole feel particularly upset.

He looked at Su Chen, who was opposite, with deep eyes and clenched fists.

He still doesn't know why Su Chen can guess his tactics.

Moreover, the connection between infinite defense changes and BOX-1 made him unable to find a way to deal with it when he was on the spot.

There were some pauses later, but the players were actually chatting with themselves and drinking water to rest.

Because Cole was made a little unconfident by Su Chen.

"This is just the first game, let's make good adjustments in the next game."

However, at this time, Ron Adams came over and comforted Cole.

Hearing the words of the old assistant coach, Cole was also shocked.

He is the backbone of the team, if they are all in the shadow of Su Chen at this time, then the Warriors basically don't have to play this round of the series.

Thinking of this, Cole didn't answer, but nodded.

Then he put away his notebook and left through the player tunnel.

The series is not over, so they don't have to shake hands with their opponents. They are still in a fighting state with the Timberwolves.

The Warriors players also went out from the player channel one by one.

The Timberwolves at this time are a bit like the Warriors last season, who were not favored and then defeated the strong with the weak.

It was a wonderful feeling, and a lot of people still remember that feeling.

But for the Warriors players, there is no mood to relive that feeling.

The roles they play at this time are those strong teams that were favored but reversed last season.

In addition to Giannis Antetokounmpo, another very present hero in this game is Beverly.

When switching from unlimited defenses to BOX-1, it was Beverley's excellent performance that allowed the two defensive systems to be seamlessly connected.

At the post-match press conference.

"Beverly is full of drive, he can appear in any corner of the team, and his defense is a lock that is difficult for opponents to unlock."

For Beverly, who did his best in this game, Su Chen also praised him without hesitation.

Praising Beverly at the press conference naturally reflects his attitude and allows other players to learn more about Beverly's defensive spirit.

This is a good improvement for the team.

After Su Chen answered some questions, the reporter started asking Beverly.

"In this game, the Warriors called a timeout consecutively in the last quarter, and you predicted it in advance. Is this usually practiced?"

The reporter asked Beverly.

Beverly glanced at Su Chen with some distrust, but Su Chen had a calm smile on his face.

He remembered what Su Chen had said to him just now.

Su Chen asked him not to disclose that these were arranged during the timeout, and he arranged them through the timeout, so Beverly admitted that he made his own judgment.

On the one hand, Su Chen didn't want the Warriors or other teams to be alert to his ability.

On the other hand, Beverly's performance in this field was very hard-working, and this kind of credit made Beverly himself admit that it is also a reward for Beverly.

Although Beverly itself is very hard.

But Beverly, who was originally a mad dog, got a good record and could evolve into a mad wolf.

"I want to say that we usually do a lot of tactical training. The coach is the coach of the Warriors. We felt that these tactics were familiar at the time."

Although this credit is a reward to Beverly.

But Beverley didn't really cover everything, and still mentioned some things about training.

Hearing what Beverly said, Su Chen couldn't help but smile.

Beverley is really the kind of player that, as an opponent, will be very annoying, but as the same team likes very much.

Afterwards, there was a casual chat at the press conference, and Su Chen dismissed the conference directly.

Soon, there is no need to wait until the next day to rush to report on major news about the Warriors' rookie who lost to the Timberwolves.

The Warriors' preview before the game, the major mainstream media generally ranked the Warriors among the top three.

As for the Timberwolves, they are basically ranked around the top ten.

You must know that there are only 16 teams participating in the NBA, which means that the judgment of the strength of the Timberwolves is basically in the middle and even in the mouth of some media.

When the Timberwolves won the Warriors game, anyone who watched the game can generally see what the Warriors are like.

Under the news of this game, there are also many discussions about this game.

"Su Chen may want to tell Cole that all the things you play are left over from me."

"At first, I thought that the new coach of the Warriors, Cole, was very strong, but looking at it now, it seems that he is not at the same level as Su Chen."

"Kole is too funny. It's just a matter of learning Su Chen's tactical system, but it's ridiculous to use it in front of the master."

"I now believe that the Warriors' championship last season was won by Su Chen with the team."

"Curry is still great. If he has been using unlimited defenses, Curry might score more than 60 points."

"If the rest of the Warriors can't stand up, then in this round of the series, the Warriors will be eliminated early."

"It's not that the best coach of the year is so powerful, so the best coach of the year can't beat other teams casually?"

"Su Chen's fans shut up, don't be so virtuous without getting the best coach. The Timberwolves' victory over the Warriors is purely due to Su Chen's understanding of the Warriors system. Let Su Chen and the Spurs touch each other to know Popovich. Odd's best trainer is out of water."

"That's right, the Timberwolves just relied on their understanding of the Warriors and won by tactical suppression. The Timberwolves, the Heat and the Spurs are not at the same level of team at all."

The debate about this game is everywhere, it's noisy.

But for the Timberwolves, they are not in the mood to pay attention to so many things other than the game.

Although there is no need for the coach to interfere too much in the personal life of the players, after all, the players also need personal social interaction.

But in this playoffs, Su Chen clearly issued a rule within the team not to pay attention to outside discussions.

The Timberwolves have been able to play so far, but it is not as easy as imagined.

The Timberwolves started out on defense, and almost every game consumes a certain amount of concentration for the Timberwolves players.

Looking at the messy news from the outside world will interfere with the player's concentration to a certain extent.

soon.

G2 between the Timberwolves and the Warriors started.

target center.

As the side with the record advantage, this game is still in Minnesota.

The game time of the playoffs is still relatively intensive.

For Cole, he doesn't have so much energy to study the cracking method.

In Su Chen's memory, Cole still solved these problems, no matter whether it was infinite switching, or BOX-1, the two defensive systems.

But it is not adjusted in one or two games.

Moreover, the problems presented by the Timberwolves now are much stronger than those later.

This lineup of the Timberwolves is a perfect lineup with unlimited defenses.

With the presence of Beverly and Covington at the same time, even BOX-1 is full of pressure on Curry.

Su Chen can make Curry fall into a singles trap. Even if Curry feels good, he can rely on Beverly's BOX-1 to deal with Curry.

At this time, Cole seemed a little out of spirits.

Obviously, in the past two days, he has been thinking of countermeasures very intensively.

However, the tactics that Su Chen came up with against the Warriors were basically stuck in the weakest places of the Warriors, and these places were not so easy to make up for with tactics.

Although Su Chen left the Warriors with a relatively mature passing system.

But Su Chen didn't teach him how to break unlimited defense and break BOX-1!
The Warriors did not encounter such a situation a few times last season, and now the Timberwolves are basically aiming at full speed on every ball.

In the original timeline, these problems were problems that had troubled Cole for a long time.

Now it only takes this little time to figure it out, and Cole won't be troubled by those problems for so long.

He has the ability to solve these problems, but it will take a certain amount of time to solve them.

But at least not tonight.

The starting lineup of the two sides is basically the starting lineup of the previous game.

Timberwolves starting lineup: Giannis Antetokounmpo (C), Luol Deng (PF), Andre Iguodala (SF), Robert Covington (SG), Jimmy Butler ( PG)

Warriors starting lineup: Festus Ezeri (C), Draymond Green (PF), Richard Jefferson (SF), Klay Thompson (SG), Stephen Curry ( PG)

However, the Warriors made a substitution, that is, replacing Brewer with Jefferson.

Although Brewer is an important signing for the Warriors during the offseason, sometimes Brewer's performance is not very stable.

Especially in the last game, when Brewer was in BOX-1, his breakthrough ability did not help the team break through the predicament.

So compared to Brewer, it is not surprising that Cole put Jefferson, the starting small forward of last season's championship, on the starting lineup.

Anyway, we can't rely on breakthroughs to help the Warriors open up the situation. It is better to be a more stable and experienced veteran.

In the last game, Jefferson still had at least occasional bright spots, which was much better than Brewer's performance.

Thinking of this, Cole felt a little irritable again.

Originally, at Brewer's point, the Warriors could basically exchange for Iguodala without spending too much chips.

Seeing Iguodala perform so well in the opponent's lineup, Kerr was a little angry thinking about it.

It is equivalent to being the general of one's own family, and then becoming the general of the opponent.

Soon, the game started.

The Timberwolves' defensive strategy in this game is not much different from the previous game, that is, to play an infinite defense.

But on the offensive end, the Timberwolves' offense has made some adjustments.

Originally, Butler and Giannis Antetokounmpo took turns attacking the inside of the Warriors in the last game. Now this time, Giannis Antetokounmpo started some pick-and-rolls to attract defenses, or he made some finishes after his teammates attracted defenses. .

After all, Cole has already understood that Green can restrain Giannis Antetokounmpo, so Su Chen will not continue to attack.

Giannis Antetokounmpo played smarter this time around.

In terms of efficiency, it is not much less efficient than the previous game.

Cole's solution this time is not to allow Curry to play infinite singles, but to give Thompson more to find the touch from the beginning.
