The King of the NBA

The Timberwolves changed their defensive strategy and strengthened their defense against Curry and Thompson.

Seeing that the players adjusted their defense, Adelman relaxed. Originally, he was going to remind the players to strengthen their defense outside the three-point line, but now it seems unnecessary.

However, after more than two minutes, Adelman became nervous again. They strengthened the defense against the three-point line, especially the defense against Curry and Thompson. If Curry and Thompson break through, there will be Love and Whiteside to stop them. As for the missed ones, Ning Yi will take over.

The Warriors have a small lineup, and the inside line is not very high, so Ning Yi can withstand even if the inside line leaks.

But even this can't limit Curry and Thompson.

The Warriors' rhythm is too fast, and the counterattack is fast. Often, the Timberwolves have just returned to their own half after the offense. Just raise your hand and throw a three-pointer, and you can still score.

In just over two minutes, Curry scored a three-pointer and Thompson scored two three-pointers. The Splash Brothers' three-pointer rain was indeed terrifying and chilling.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the two of them can have this kind of performance in every game, but it is obvious that they are in very good condition now, and this is also part of the game. Ning Yi can face Bogut and score consecutively. Curry and It is not surprising that Thompson made consecutive shots in the counterattack.

"beep"

Adelman called a timeout.

When the players came down, Adelman first emphasized defense, and then changed his tone after speaking: "We try our best to defend well. If we still can't defend, it's okay. We can't change the opponent, but we can change ourselves." He saw Xiang Ning Yi and Love, "Ning, Love, leave the offensive end to you. No matter whether we can limit the fouls of Curry and Thompson, we must play a good offense. Play our offense well, even if we can't limit the opponent. , at least they can cancel each other out.”

"yes."

"clear."

Ning Yi and Le Fu exchanged a look, and nodded in agreement.

Back on the court, the Warriors still had a small lineup of five, but Barnes was replaced by Iguodala. Under Ning Yi's defense, Barnes did not play well.

Jack was replaced by Timberwolves and replaced by Rubio. When Rubio came up, Ning Yi handed over the organization task to him. After he got to the frontcourt, he ran quickly and interspersed with his teammates.

Rubio has only two tasks, one is to organize the offense, and the other is to shoot three-pointers. Now he is organizing the offense. Seeing Ning Yi and Turner crossing positions, they are asking for the ball from him, and they pass it immediately .

Ning Yi took the ball, lowered his center of gravity, protruded his right foot, and made a breakthrough posture. Iguodala also immediately lowered his center of gravity, opened his hands, and retreated with one foot, ready to respond at any time.

But at this moment Ning Yi suddenly jumped up.

"Pull!" Iguodala reacted quickly and jumped up immediately.

However, he was still a step slower. Ning Yi's dry pull was not only sudden, but also very fast. He specifically asked McGrady for advice, and then combined McGrady's dry pull with his own speed to form his unique dry. pull. McGrady is abrupt and leaning back, while Ning Yi is abrupt and has a quick shot.

Swish!

The goal was scored and a three-pointer was hit.

Ning Yi glanced at Curry and turned back to defend. Curry can shoot three-pointers and he can. Although he may not be more accurate than Curry, it may not be much worse.

Ning Yi's pure three-point shooting ability is not as good as Curry's. After all, there is a difference of one grade, but Ning Yi has the height and wingspan that Curry does not have. If he is in good condition, he may not be worse than Curry.

For a player, strength is a part, and status is also a part!

After Ning Yi hit a three-pointer, Curry planned to return one, but failed to make it. It was Green who grabbed the rebound and passed it to Iguodala for a layup and scored two points.

But turning around, Love made another three-pointer, giving the Warriors a head-on blow.

The two sides come and go, and a few more rounds have passed, and the second quarter has already passed halfway, and the shooting percentages of both sides have begun to decline. Whether it is Curry, Thompson, Ning Yi, or Love, it is impossible to continue in a good state If you go on, you will be affected by your physical fitness, and it is impossible for anyone to ignore this.

Seeing the drop in the shooting percentage of his players, Cole began to replace Curry, Thompson, and Green one after another, and then Bogut was replaced again.

Adelman also made substitutions, replacing Ning Yi and Love successively, and replaced them with Martin and Jokic. Let them take turns to deal with Bogut. The tactics of "making fouls" still have to continue.

Bogut was idled for a while because of "not paying attention" to defending Ning Yi. Of course, he can't do that anymore, but this is exactly what Adelman wanted. Martin and Jokic did not disappoint Adelman either. They didn't have much time to win in the second quarter, but they made Bogut a foul.

Seeing this, Cole frowned again and again.

McGrady laughed and said, "Bogut is unlucky enough today."

"Hehe." Yao Ming chuckled, "It's a good thing for the Timberwolves. Bogut basically didn't play a role today, and now he fouled three times. The confrontation between the two sides will be more intense in the second half, but his playing time But it will be limited, and the Warriors' interior will also become a loophole."

"So how do you think the Warriors will respond?" McGrady asked.

Yao Ming said: "Relying on offense, the Warriors' inside line is a weakness, and the outside line is not monolithic. Curry is also a defensive weakness. So it is difficult for the Warriors to beat the Timberwolves on defense. After all, the Timberwolves have a strong offensive ability. Ning Yi , Love, Martin, Turner and others are all able to score points."

"The advantage of the Warriors is scoring. Their scoring ability is one of the best in the entire league, and their scoring explosiveness is the best in the entire league. When they play well, it is not impossible to score ten or twenty points in two or three minutes. .So after Bogut loses his deterrence at the whole point, they can only rely on offense to win."

Tracy McGrady thought so, and asked: "What about the Timberwolves?"

Yao Ming smiled and said, "You know why you need to ask me? From my point of view, the Timberwolves will choose defense. Of course, not blindly defending, but both defense and offense, but the final victory depends on defense. It’s not a good choice. It will only fall into the rhythm of the Warriors. Compared with them, the Timberwolves may not lose, but they may not win either. The risk is very high. The point is that they don’t need to do that at all, and they can gain a foothold For defense, as long as they hold for a while, survive the Warriors' counterattack, and wait for the Warriors' offensive to recede, the Timberwolves will win."

McGrady nodded repeatedly and joked, "Yao, I think you should become a coach."

Yao Ming smiled, noncommittal.

Being a coach can only save one team. What he wants to save is the entire Huaxia Basketball. To do this, being a coach is not enough. Even if it is a national team coach, the only way to do it is to become the chairman of the Basketball Association.
