The King of the NBA

"I still suffer from experience." Adelman sighed.

Adelman himself has this experience and has made some preparations in advance, but he is not the player who plays, but the player, he is just the coach. The coach gave instructions on everything in advance, and when they are on the court, everything will change with the development of the game, and the players will involuntarily follow the rhythm of the game.

When the opponent's pace is getting faster and the confrontation is getting stronger and stronger, you have to adjust yourself, but this adjustment is more delicate. At this time, experience will play a role.

The Timberwolves played well in the first quarter. In the second quarter, the players instinctively followed the first quarter's style of play, because they felt that this was right and should be like this, so that they could maintain the lead.

On the other hand, the Rockets are consciously adjusting in the second quarter to save energy and try to choose a more reasonable scoring method.

Under this ebb and flow, the situation is naturally reversed.

"beep"

Adelman called a timeout.

With a few minutes left in the second quarter, Adelman replaced Love with Ning Yi, and told Ning Yi: "Pay attention to saving energy, organize the offense well, make the offense as reasonable as possible, and mobilize the entire team." strength so that you won't be too tired to fight. This is the playoffs, do you understand?"

"Understood." Ning Yi nodded, he knew what the coach meant, and Ning Yi himself felt it. This is the playoffs, the confrontation intensity is very high, the competition is very fierce, and the physical consumption is also great, so it is necessary to ensure that you can play Save physical energy under the premise of saving physical energy, so that there will be no problem of overdrafting physical energy in advance.

Soon, the pause is over.

A few minutes after the second quarter, Ning Yi took control of the overall situation, mobilized the strength of everyone in the team as much as possible, and used tactics to score instead of relying on personal ability to save energy.

But bystanders are clear, authorities are fans, Timberwolves generally lack playoff experience for players, even if Adelman told him in advance, Ning Yi is also paying attention to control, but when they are put into the game state, they still instinctively follow the regular season habits go to the game. If this is the regular season, then of course there is no problem, but in the playoffs, the same action consumes much more energy than in the regular season.

In this way, the physical problem is getting bigger and bigger after all.

When the second quarter ended, the Rockets led by 8 points.

Entering the second half, the Timberwolves have made some changes. When the physical energy consumption is too high, the players finally instinctively choose to save energy as much as possible, which is more effective than the coach's exhortation.

But when the Timberwolves save their energy, the matchup with the Rockets will naturally fall into a disadvantage.

So when the third quarter ended, the Rockets had extended their lead to 14 points, which made many Timberwolves fans feel a little overwhelmed. Why was the Timberwolves so fierce in the first quarter and then became weaker and weaker?

"Alas." Adelman sighed, suffering unspeakably.

The Rockets are trying their best. In the first quarter, it seems that the Timberwolves have the upper hand, but in fact it is not. The Timberwolves have taken the lead in terms of score, but in terms of physical consumption, they have been fooled by the Rockets.

After the second quarter, this problem was further highlighted and intensified.

Later in the third quarter, although the Timberwolves players had consciously controlled it, it was too late. The Rockets' advantages gradually accumulated and became bigger and bigger, completely gaining the upper hand.

"Wait for the fourth quarter, Dion, Turiaf, Shabaci, Ba Mote, Barea, you guys come on." Adelman took a deep breath, with determination in his eyes, and ordered: "No Save your energy, this is the last quarter and our last chance, just fight hard."

Everyone responded with solemn faces.

Subsequently, Adelman spread out the tactical board and arranged tactics.

Not far away, Rockets coach McHale is also making arrangements, and Adelman knows that the Rockets will definitely be prepared to deal with the Timberwolves' all-or-nothing strategy, perhaps they have already been ready. But Adelman can't help it, the situation is compelling, and now the Timberwolves are completely at a disadvantage, so they can only give it a go.

For the Timberwolves, there aren't many options available.

Give it a go, maybe there is a chance.

But if you give up, you will lose directly.

This is the first battle of the playoffs, no matter what, you can't give up lightly, even if you really lose, you must fight to the end!

"beep"

The whistle blows and the fourth quarter begins.

The Timberwolves have a pure bench lineup, so the fans can't understand the lineup, which is simply unreasonable and unreasonable.

McHale laughed softly. He knew that the Timberwolves were going to put all their eggs in one basket and let it go. He smiled confidently, and whispered to himself: "Give it a go? Hehe, I expected it a long time ago, and you have no chance."

For the Rockets, Asik, Jones, Parsons, Jeremy Lin, and Beverly are on the team.

The Timberwolves' offense was extraordinarily ferocious. They were all fighting without any energy. Everyone was running, almost without a moment's rest. Whether it was offense or defense, everyone was going all out.

But after all, it is a pure substitute lineup, and the defensive end may be effective by relying on hard work, but on the offensive end, the Timberwolves are obviously not as good as the Rockets.

On the sidelines, McHale took his time, folded his arms, and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Fight? Why are you fighting with us? Just relying on a bunch of substitutes, just relying on momentum? It's useless, this is the NBA , not a street court, let alone a fight. We have accumulated from the second quarter to the present, and you cannot make up for this advantage."

McHale's solution is very simple, that is, step by step, one step at a time, just crush the past, use the advantages that have gradually accumulated, and use the strength that has the upper hand to crush the Timberwolves to death.

"Oh, the Timberwolves are going to lose."

"Haha, it's good to lose. It should have been lost. This is our Toyota Center."

"The point difference is getting bigger and bigger, it's already 17 points."

"I lost, I lost. With a 17-point difference, there is less than one quarter left. How can I catch up?"

"Unfortunately, I didn't expect the result to be like this."

"Damn, what happened? How did it turn out like this? With Adelman's arrangement, he put on a group of substitutes even though he knew he was invincible. What is this for? He took the initiative to die?"

People talked a lot, some lamented, some lamented, some gloated, and some did not understand Adelman's dispatch of troops and cursed.

When the fourth quarter hit the fourth minute, the point difference had widened to 17 points, and even many Timberwolves fans had given up.

Only one group of people did not give up, and that was the Timberwolves' coaches and players.

Adelman didn't give up, and neither did Ning Yi, Love, and Martin. Everyone didn't give up, 8 minutes, 17 points, no matter if it works or not, let's give it a go!
