Devil shooting guard in basketball

Chapter 230 This game, no rest (23)

For two consecutive seasons, the Warriors performed brilliantly in the regular season and were eliminated in the playoffs.

But although not much has been said in the media this season, the Warriors' management vaguely feels that this team may be going downhill.

Some fans present at this time have already learned that Cole was hospitalized!The news that just broke out in the major sports headlines!
And until now, Cole has been in a coma!Walton knew he couldn't tell the players about it in advance.

He thinks the best-case scenario tonight is for him to wait for the team to win and the Warriors to visit Kerr.

The head coach may be seriously injured.It may not be possible to return to the field for a period of time or even a season.

That also means that the Warriors' lineup may completely disintegrate after the end of this season!
The third quarter was a torment for the Timberwolves players.Because the momentum on the opponent's side has already risen!

Although the Timberwolves players had various dunks and 2-point shots in the game.But the Warriors players have begun to "accompany you to watch the three-point rain"
86:86!The Warriors' style of play is simple right now.

That is to let Varejao and Aizeli desperately fight for rebounds!They just play defense.

Because the offensive end really can't get the ball.
Varejao is a smart guy, and the Cavaliers have been full of talent since his years in Cleveland.

But he can stand out from the team when the Cavaliers don't have a strong center!It's not that he was reused after a few flops on the court.

But in addition to some of his own skills, Varejao's reaction on the court also has a golf quotient.

Playing a power forward may be inferior, but in the role of a traditional center, there is no problem!

This section of the game is drawing to a close.Li Feng has scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists at this time!
The sudden increase in the number of assists was mainly due to the team's tactical changes and team lineup adjustments.

Wharton didn't know why, he was talking and laughing with the players in the first half, but in the third quarter, he looked a little dull on the sidelines?
He must be thinking about how to play the game next.

LaVine also didn't run to the basket this round.The defensive players on the Warriors' side of the basket are guarding against you as if they have a grudge against you!

Perhaps because it is the home court of the Warriors, the referee's whistle for tonight's game also tends to whistle for Minnesota, so the Timberwolves players have restrained a lot at this time.

The Warriors fight them for three points, so they will come too.But now they have also discovered that the efficiency of three-pointers is indeed not as high as that of the Warriors.
This is the team's signature style of play!
And when a team is provoked, their potential will explode on the field!
Jones eventually caught LaVine's touchdown pass.

Facing Li Feng's defense, he finally passed the opponent, but when he made a jump shot, he was directly slapped by Li Feng behind him!

Azeri picked up the basketball and passed the ball directly to Curry, who ran wildly!It's too late for the Timberwolves to chase!

At this time, Curry directly made a jumper and hit a three-pointer!
Garnett: "Jones! You, switch positions with Wiggins! Wiggins will give you a task now! Beware of Curry!

Then LaVine and I and Jones looked for opportunities to attack.We can't just let the opponent overtake the lead we played earlier! "

At this time, the role of Kevin played in the game.The players basically don't think too much about how to play the game when they can't start the situation and the head coach doesn't want to pause.

According to their way of thinking, they are a cog in the game, and we can play as the coach tells us to play.

But Garnett, the former wolf king of the team, doesn't think so.What he thought was how to win the game!
If there are troublemakers and teammates who can't keep up with the rhythm.Even if the head coach deliberately doesn't want to win, it will be difficult for him!
Mitchell watched the scene with relief from the sidelines.

It's great to have this "big brother" player on the team.A team, ideally with one or two cohesive players on the team.

The teammates listened to him very much, and it was not easy for the players to slip away on the field.At the same time, such players are also resolving all kinds of crises that you can't think of!
Right now, the Warriors' good offensive ability on the outside guard is a bit of a foul!Naturally, what Kevin mainly does is to let Curry's hands cool down quickly!
In this way, the Timberwolves players have a chance to win their opponents!

At this time, they no longer demanded a big victory over the Warriors, and the fear on their bodies was like a chill, slowly coming to their backs.
No matter how you say it, the Warriors are also the skinny camels in the regular season.

Even if I have never eaten pork, I have seen many teams where pigs ran away.In recent years, various teams have played in front of the Warriors, and the previous seasons basically ended in failure.

This time Wiggins took the basketball and used his body to forcefully pass Li Feng and Curry and pass the ball to LaVine, who also jumped up and scored a three-pointer!
Also a sophomore, it was this season that LaVine really began to receive the attention of fans and the media.

At this time, LaVine's average data per game is 10.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists!In the team is a good backup defender!
The Timberwolves have a solid lineup this season.

At the same time, it also brought invisible pressure to every player.Because the players of a team can play, and their reputation is not very low.

When a season goes by, there will always be players who perform poorly, or even do not perform at all.

Waiting to be traded, or looking for an opportunity to get a satisfactory average per game in the second year.That's all.

So the players on the Timberwolves side basically played very hard.LaVine is in a good state today, and may be able to break through 20 points in a single game!
In the last 16 seconds or less, Curry hit a three-pointer again, and Li Feng assisted +1!And Wiggins on the Timberwolves side also caught the ball and hit a three-pointer in the last 5.3 seconds!
Players on both sides are fatigued to varying degrees.

The coaches of both sides are competing.Wharton is very strong at this time!He watched the final end of the third quarter with his hands on his hips.

At this time, Walton has just changed from a player status to an assistant coach of the team, and in the near future, it is not certain who will be the head coach of the team.

Walton felt that he, like the other assistant coaches on the team, wanted to taste what it was like to be the head coach for a dozen or even dozens of games.

92:92!There is no problem with the Warriors' lineup in the third quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, a few substitutes will be allowed to play for a while.

So for the rest of the time, Wharton will not adjust the lineup again.

And what the Timberwolves are most looking forward to is that the game should be decided quickly in the fourth quarter!

Because in this case, they will win in the end. This is the result that the Timberwolves coaches and players want to see most!

If you don't play against the Warriors, you can't appreciate the strength of your opponent.

Today, the Timberwolves players also felt the fierce side of the Warriors!
Even Garnett has a sense of powerlessness.Because the basketball hardly flies to him!
Sometimes even if you want to defend or attack, you can't use your strength.But Kevin is really looking forward to and confident about this game!
The same goes for this season's games.

When he was in the Minnesota Timberwolves, he always hoped to lead this group of "wolves" to the finals and finally win the championship!
After so many years of adjustments, there is finally a season where everyone sees hope.Naturally, the players will basically work hard to achieve such a result.

Walton: "The next game I sent two players to play for 2 minutes. Then the next game was completed by the players in the third quarter.

As for whether there will be player adjustments at that time, let's talk. "

Wharton walked back immediately after speaking briefly.When he faced the players on the bench, he looked serious.

At this time, Walton thinks more about the future of the Warriors.

It is still uncertain whether this game will be won or not. The key is this entire season.How far they can play while Kerr is in the hospital.

Everything has become unknown.

Mitchell: "In the game, at some point you have to listen to Kevin's arrangements.

We must grasp the offensive efficiency well.not too low.Wiggins, can you still play in the fourth quarter? "

Wiggins: "I'll be fine for two more quarters"

Mitchell: "Okay. Then you go up in the fourth quarter and continue to defend Curry. Just control the Warriors' three-pointers!
We are one step closer to winning them!Maybe it will directly defeat the Warriors."

The Timberwolves have run out of options in terms of substitutions.Let some subs with average abilities go up to play the game, and they may lose the game immediately.

So the team only replaced Rubio in the fourth quarter to replace Jones. Although LaVine seemed tired, today's LaVine is really accurate!

So the team has no intention of letting him go down to rest.

At the beginning of the last quarter of the game, the shooting percentage of the two teams was not high.

102:96!The Timberwolves look better here.

The two coaches have to pause in various ways.Finally Wharton now has only one timeout remaining.

And the other party has not paused.

LaVine walked back and sat down to rest directly. The coaches and players gathered around him to discuss tactics, which also saved LaVine from standing and listening to the coach's arrangement.

Everyone on the Warriors side is very excited!
Azeri's face turned pale.

Wharton immediately imitated Cole and praised him a few words, and after briefly asking about the situation, he let him rest.

Curry and Li Feng walked over side by side.

Walton: "That's right, Garnett is a player. He is very good at defending inside and organizing the team. You understand.

Rubio on the outside, he's good at passing the ball, so... I would say, if the opponent has two playmakers, then if we have five playmakers."

Walton's reaction from the players was predictable.

What does 5 organizers mean?Really not kidding?

Li Feng: "Coach, do you want to talk about the triangle offense?"

Wharton: "Yes!! That's right! Do you understand? Triangle offensive tactics! If I remember correctly, Li Feng, the team you were in last season used a lot of triangle offenses, right?"

Li Feng: "That's right. I'll tell you the truth. It requires the coach to grasp the overall state of the team and the players' personal abilities to meet the standards.

And a high degree of flexibility is required in the game.That’s why there are so few teams using the triangle offense these days.”

Wharton: "."

Li Feng: "We can do this. Limit the flexibility of the triangle offense tactic and make the tactic easier on the field.

Like having Iguodala be the 'middle' player with a guard on one side of him and a center and power forward on the other side of him."

Wharton: "That's it! Let me emphasize, the triangle offense, widening the distance, thus increasing the difficulty of the opponent's defense! I won't say much about the offense. Let's play!"

There was only such a short timeout, and Wharton didn't know how to organize the language for a while.

He knew these things in his head, but just figured them out.

No, the Warriors could be immediately passive and lose the game.Yes, I don't know what to say for a while.

For the Milwaukee Bucks last season, the main offensive tactic was the triangle offense!

Walton didn't know how they used the triangle offense from start to finish.The triangle offense is a more general term.

Many tactics can evolve within it.For example, the "mirror position" tactic that Kidd started last season is a relatively simple tactical play evolved through the triangle offense!

What Li Feng said directly made Wharton feel that his thinking was much clearer.He immediately told the players what the triangle offense mainly does, and the time was over.

The players also know the general idea, that is to open up space and make it difficult for the opponent to defend!
This is really suitable for use now!It has been several months since Li Feng used this tactic again.

Back from the game, the Warriors let Speights and Iguodala play.Both Azeri and Barnes were almost exhausted.

After getting the ball, Curry rushed to the frontcourt quickly, passed Rubio easily, and passed the ball to Iguodala.

The coach of the Timberwolves frowned at this time, and he felt that the tactics of the Warriors at this time looked a little strange!

It's a sign that people don't feel good.Because you don't know how the opponent is going to fight.

Li Feng: "They want to double-team you. That's easy!"

Curry: "Li Feng, I feel that the Bucks used this tactic last season. The team is still not very clear. There may be confusion. The appearance can be made, but the rhythm should be chaotic"

Li Feng: ".Iguodala, you pull out! And Speights are ready to attack at any time. I will be the 'middle player' of this tactic!"

Iguodala: "You come to the small forward position?"

Li Feng: "That's right! Don't hesitate! Change positions immediately!"

Originally, Li Feng felt that he had no chance to get the task requirements given by the system today.

The triangle offense was simplified by Li Feng at this time, but the simplified triangle offense system, the most basic, also needs a player to organize the team!

This is the perfect time for Li Feng to come out and organize the warriors!

The positions on both sides are symmetrical, forming the "mirror position" that Kidd said last season, and then on the offensive end, the Warriors have no problem!

From this point of view, Li Feng's assist data has settled.
