Chapter 234 Looking for flaws
In the positional battle, Cassel holds the ball in the middle to support the organization, Sprewell on the right side roams around the perimeter, and Garnett in the low post on the left side settles inside. The three together form the main offensive triangle of the Timberwolves.

Madsen in the low post on the right and Szczerbiak and Kassel on the left form a loose auxiliary offensive triangle.

Cassell is the pivot of the Timberwolves' triangle, and his performance is the key.

On the commentary stage, Kenny Smith saw through the tricks of the Timberwolves' offensive tactics at a glance, and analyzed: "Although there was an accident that the Pistons won the NBA championship last season, the most successful team in the last few years is still It's the Lakers and the Spurs.

The Timberwolves did not hide their fangs for the championship, and actively copied the Lakers' triangle offensive tactics. The Spurs' internal and external organization style of play is to use proven successful tactics to polish their team. The question of whether it is suitable or not is the reason why this young Timberwolves have a poor record.

However, this is also the easiest way to succeed.For a small city team without low accumulation, following the trend does not mean failure, he is a good strategy that can quickly gain the strength to compete for the championship! "

Cassell passed the ball to Sprewell on the side with a blank expression. Now the Timberwolves have four powerful scoring points. It can be said that the most important thing is to activate the offensive firepower of their teammates.

Is it a triangle offense tactic?It doesn't seem that important.

However, the Lakers have established a dynasty in the end, and the power of the "OK combination" is also a road to success with traces.

Garnett, like O'Neal, focuses on the inside, and Sprewell is not weaker than Kobe, and focuses on the outside. With this offensive structure, Cassel and even the entire Timberwolves are not against it and agree with it very much.

Even if Szczerbiak has the power of an All-Star, he still agrees with the Timberwolves' tactical arrangement.

Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the right, Sprewell caught the ball and faced the frame, posing in a three-threat pose.

Joe Johnson looked calm, but he didn't relax in the slightest. The man in front of him was called a "madman". In the NBA Finals, the strongman who averaged 26 points per game, except for his arrogance, which was different from Kobe's paranoia, His style of play is very similar to that of Kobe, both are masters of singles and chaos.

Of course, Kobe is better than Sprewell, because Kobe worked hard enough, but Sprewell played with talent. After entering the NBA, his skills did not improve much.

However, the victory is that he is focused enough on the court, and he behaves like another person on and off the court.

Seeing that Joe Johnson was unmoved, Sprewell lifted the ball over the top with both hands, stood with his feet together, bent his knees and raised his body, making a three-point shot.

Joe Johnson moved his feet and pressed up. Sprewell's physical fitness gradually declined, and his peripheral mid-range shots became more and more accurate. How dare he let Sprewell open a three-pointer?
Just as Joe Johnson's footsteps moved, Sprewell also made a move, pulled it down, shortened his body, exerted force on his feet, and immediately rushed into the inside line.

Joe Johnson moved sideways trying to physically block the opponent's advancing route, but Sprewell's explosive power did not lose with his age, and he still maintained an amazing explosive power, like a gust of wind. Johnson skimmed around and went inside.

Marion let go of Madsen and rushed to defend.

Sprewell rushed up like a sharp blade, unstoppable, dropped the ball from the basket, carried Marion's defense, forced the basket, and directly hit the board to send the basketball into the basket.

6 to 5! !
In the next round of offense, the Suns fell into a difficult positional battle again.

Nash and Stoudemire continued to play the pick-and-roll, but were still flanked by Cassell and Madsen.

This time, Nash did not pass to Stoudemire, but came a long pass, passed the basketball in a wide range, and passed it to the left corner of the three-pointer. Nash's vision and passing skills are good, accurate Passed to Richardson's hands.

After catching the ball, Richardson pulled it up and made a three-pointer.

As Szczerbiak rushed back to cover, the basketball flew over his head and headed for the hoop.

There was a bang, the shot was short, and the basketball bounced out.

Marion on the left easily grabbed the offensive rebound, landed a step, rushed to the basket and jumped up, about to dunk the basketball into the basket with one hand.

Unexpectedly, a black shadow flew up from the side.

With a snap, the big hand slapped the basketball precisely, and the basketball slapped the backboard and flew up.

Whoa! !

This is a wonderful pegboard by a wide margin! !
Marion was dizzy from the slap, and landed a little staggeringly. He didn't forget to complain to the referee, complaining that the hitter had fouled the ball.

The referee did not raise the whistle, but waved his hand to signal that there was no problem with the defense.

This is the star whistle!

Who made Marion Kong have all the skills and physical fitness, but his appearance can't be on the stage, and he doesn't have the popularity of being a superstar.

The most terrible thing is that the basketball did not fan out of bounds, the game was not stopped, the basketball was snatched by Cassel, he dribbled a step, non-stop, immediately came a no-look pass, passed the basketball to the half court, hit A quick counterattack.

Sprewell took the lead and rushed out like an arrow off the string.

He stretched out his hand, got the basketball, and took advantage of the situation to hit a quick hit like a whirlwind.

One step from the free throw line, pull the ball up, two steps to the basket, take off with a step under the basket, turn 360 degrees in the air, dunk with both hands, and with a loud bang, the basketball smashed into the basket heavily.

8 to 5! !
At this moment, Sprewell's physical strength was fully reflected.

"The Suns are in trouble, and the Timberwolves are playing sharp offense and defense!" Barkley said with a serious face: "Garnett's inside defense, Sprewell's counterattack, although there are many things in this Timberwolves team, I can see it." It doesn't look right, but the strength they possess is real guys!

The Suns should speed up their offensive rhythm and fall into a positional battle. Garnett guards the basket like a wall of iron and steel. The Suns' simple offensive style is really hard to crack!
Unless the Suns' outside firepower is fully opened, otherwise, the Suns have no power to parry at all.Stoudemire has an iron-like body, but he has no back-up singles ability. He is taller than him in front of him, has a superior arm length than him, and is not inferior to him in speed. He has advantages in strength, technology, experience, etc. Garnett.Stoudemire can't play anymore. He relies too much on Nash's assist ability. The Timberwolves know this very well, and they are tightly restricted. In such a predicament, the key depends on the Suns' outside firepower! ! "

Kenny Smith nodded, took over the topic and said: "The Timberwolves have excellent defense and sharp offense! I copied the Lakers' triangle offense and learned the Spurs' defensive strategy. I used Garnett as Duncan, guarding the basket and surrounding Rao Garnett built a defensive system and played like a championship team!

If the Suns want to win, it depends on whether they can regain the offensive rhythm and have full firepower on the line. Otherwise, the Suns are no match for the Timberwolves at all! "

Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. He also knew that Garnett guarded the basket and was very harmful to the Suns' offense inside, especially Stoudemire's offense. Shrink the defense.

However, if you play this way, you will force the Suns to shoot from the outside. If this is the case, you will not be able to control the outcome of this game.

After all, the Timberwolves have four All-Stars in their lineup, so the offensive power will naturally not be so wrong.

It's just, can a floating outside shot really kill the Timberwolves?
Therefore, Nash did not regard this helpless offensive method as the last straw, but kept trying other attacks, would it be effective?

The Timberwolves' record is not better than the Suns, and they will lose, and they will lose a lot. There must be flaws that he has not discovered?
What he has to do next is to find out this kind of flaw, even if he falls behind in the score, he will not hesitate...
