Chapter 620 West's Alternative Suggestion
In the Target Center, Bruce and West sat quietly in the stands. Although they had great confidence in the Warriors, they still couldn't help being infected after seeing the enthusiastic cheers from the fans around them. Worry up!
As a team rushing to defend the title, what the Warriors have to do now is to use all means to ensure that they can enter the finals!
In this series, even if the Warriors can still complete a double play at their home court, after all, this is the battlefield of the playoffs. Once there is a slight slack, they will be greeted by the bite of wolves !
On the court, the players from both sides looked relaxed and were warming up before the game. When the referee blew the whistle to end the warm-up, the fans in the stands also stopped their shouting and waited expectantly. Upcoming game!
"Jerry, do you think we will win this game easily?" Bruce took a deep breath, staring at the location of the Timberwolves' rest area, especially after seeing the huge fighting spirit on their faces, he couldn't help but Asked with a frown.

"If this is my home stadium, I will do everything possible to dedicate a wonderful victory to my fans!" West's eyes flashed, and he said very firmly.

Just like some players in the league don't like road trips very much, every time they enter another team's home court, they not only have to accept the pressure from the fans, but also may be troubled by the head coach and various factors!
Once their ability to resist pressure is slightly lacking, their performance is very likely to show the embarrassing situation of dragons at home and worms away!
"drop!!"

Another whistle sounded, and as the main players of both sides walked towards the court, under the watchful eyes of all the fans, when the referee threw the basketball into the air, the game immediately began!
"Snapped!!"

With a crisp sound, Duncan took the lead in getting the first possession of the ball after the opening for the Warriors!

On the court, after Billups got the basketball, he ran quickly so that he could take advantage of the chaos and cause some trouble!
However, the Timberwolves have obviously made great preparations for this game!

Under the rapid advancement of Billups, the Timberwolves players who seemed a little slow in the previous two games showed their great concentration and serious attitude at the beginning!

After bringing the ball to the frontcourt, Billups, who originally wanted to disrupt the battle, changed his tactics after seeing the Timberwolves players returning to defense one after another, and started their threatening battle with a loud voice. Half court position!
"Bang, bang!!"

A muffled sound came from the inside line. The fight for an inch of land was extremely fierce in the confrontation between Duncan and Erwin Johnson. The physical collision between the two made the surrounding distance even closer. The fans heard it clearly!

When Duncan relied on his own skills and strength to gradually gain a position in the interior, Billups directly passed the basketball in his hand!
"Dirk!!"

When Billups passed the basketball to the inside, he ran to the left side outside the three-point line, and shouted loudly to Nowitzki who was standing in the low position on the right side of the inside!
After hearing Billups' shouts, I saw that Nowitzki ran directly and quickly to the high position on the right in order to give Duncan more space to play, so that he could receive passes at any time to expand Own attack!
"Bang bang bang!!"

Watching the running positions of his teammates, Duncan directly started his back movement!
In these years of progress, Duncan can be regarded as one of the typical muffled battles every year.

Whether he was the core of the Spurs before or one of the core of the Warriors now, after changing his playing position, his gradually improved strength has made him even better inside!

Just like now, when Duncan resisted the flushed Johnson and gradually came to the edge of the three-second zone from the right side of the penalty area, he turned around quickly like a spinning top, before Johnson had time to move laterally In an instant, Duncan took three steps directly, and a two-handed dunk ended this classic inside confrontation.

"Aha, Tim's dominance in the interior is simply too impressive!!"

Bruce stood up excitedly, turned his head and glanced at West, who was equally excited, and thought of Duncan's great contribution and influence to the team after coming to the Warriors, he couldn't help feeling a burst of emotion !
Back then, if Popovich wasn't tempted by Bruce's bargaining chips, if he wanted to win the championship, he would at least have to wait until a large number of star potential stocks settled in and grew!
And now as Duncan gradually shows his super influence in the Warriors, no matter whether he has a little bit of awkwardness in his heart because of the change of position, it will be very proud to be able to lead the team to the championship after all. things!

Garnett passed the basketball to Cassel very quickly, and then he quickly ran forward!
After the previous two games, judging from Garnett's expression in this game, it is obvious that he has calmed down a lot. A quiet wolf king is obviously more important than a passionate wolf king. Scary!
Coming to the frontcourt, Cassel first sorted out the team's tactical position, and then even under Sprewell's running, he took advantage of the situation and threw the basketball in front of the opponent's running route by an amount in advance!

"Snapped!!"

And after Sprewell received the pass from Cassel, he obviously didn't intend to stop his footsteps. He saw that he started from the bottom line on the right and rushed to the inside without any hesitation. Obviously, Duncan and Nowitzki on the inside have been completely ignored!

As Sprewell approached quickly, Duncan, who was ready to defend, and Nowitzki, who was going to double-team at any time, when the opponent came to the edge of the penalty area, Nowitzki quickly raised it up to seal Block or directly intercept him!

However, I don't know if the old man Sprewell committed an old problem. He just buried his head in the attack, regardless of whether Nowitzki has stood on his breakthrough route!

"boom!!!"

With a muffled sound, Nowitzki immediately fell on his head. Even though his fall had the common performance elements of European players, his actions still won the sympathy of the referee!

"drop!!!"

A whistle made Sprewell, who just showed an innocent look, quickly run towards the referee on duty!
And Garnett, who knows this irascible guy very well, after seeing this scene, he hurriedly chased after him. He didn't want to be caught by Sprewell's actions at the beginning of the game, and the irritating referee was even more "stunning" to the Timberwolves. take care of".

"Damn it, shouldn't this be a blocking foul??" Sprewell was pushed back by Garnett, and he yelled at the referee loudly!

And above the stands, even though the fans clearly saw Nowitzki standing firmly on his feet in the slow-motion playback on the big screen in mid-air, they, as Timberwolves fans, still booed him in return. Dissatisfaction with the referee!
"Hey, it seems that Dirk has improved on the defensive end this season!" Bruce watched the replay on the big screen, noticing Nowitzki's fall with some performance elements, he couldn't help snickering and said .

"Hehe, don't forget that big man from the Cavaliers and Verratti from the Kings!" West reminded Bruce kindly, and then said loudly with his eyes shining, "Why don't you let Dirk try that too?" What about the defense of the two guys??"

"Well.."

Bruce looked at West with a weird face, although he thought that Divac and Ilgauskas did have something on the defensive end, but nowitzki kept falling to the ground, which really made him He felt a little funny!
Seeing that Bruce remained silent for a while, West thought more and more excitedly and said: "If Dirk can use his good ball intelligence and use the same strategy as them on the defensive end, I don't think there will be any player Dare to be too presumptuous in front of him, shouldn't this be a very constructive thing?"

"God, think about it, as a seven-foot-long man, it's too bad to look weird after collapsing again and again!!"

Bruce shrugged helplessly. Although this method is very likely to bring Nowitzki another hat with a bad reputation and will indeed bring good contributions to the team, he still hesitated and said: "Look, if we deliberately instilled this concept in Dirk, not to mention whether he would put down his face and use this method to complete the defense, once this guy has physical problems like those two??"

"Hehe, I just want Dirk to defend with performances. As for too many small moves and overly exaggerated performances..."

Having said that, West couldn't help shaking his head!

"Jerry, Dirk has performed very well now. If he deliberately puts his attention on the defensive end, I'm sure his offensive end will be affected!"

Bruce thought of Nowitzki's average of nearly 23 points and 9 rebounds per game this season, so he couldn't help secretly dismissing West's tempting proposal!

Defense is important to the team and players, but it is obviously not worth the loss to sacrifice some good offensive strength!

Besides, the five starters that the Warriors can play, except for Nowitzki who is a little weak on the defensive end, which of the other four is not a guy with good strength?

And on the field, amidst the chatting between Bruce and West, the two teams finally ushered in a matchup between the substitutes in the 8th minute after a wonderful confrontation!

Not to mention, the Warriors' bench is simply a nightmare for all teams. Even if their performance is not very good, after all, most of the time, they are qualified, let alone their strong performance on the offensive end!
