Chapter 228: The Game Starts to Get Exciting! (1/3)

From the Chase arena to the parking lot, Cole was sneezing unlisteningly.

"Are they ...... These little bunnies"

Coach Cole sneezed again. Then he rubbed his already red nose and said to himself.

Originally, he planned to lead the team to play this game today and then go back to deal with some family matters.

But seeing that the emotions of the team were so high at the end of the first half, I had to find a way to let them play like this.

Kerr had changed his mind in the second quarter.

I've been dealing with a lot of things lately. Whether it's on the team or at home.

In a month's time, the team will have to think ahead about the playoffs this season! That's right! It's that fast!

These games made Kerr feel more and more inadequate, and Wharton was in charge of one game up front. But now he still doesn't have a lot of things to worry about.

Getting into his car, Cole started the car and came out onto the road.

Before this game, Kerr saw the news that Coach Kidd kept their Bucks' injury rate in the top three in the league last season!

In other words, the reason why the Bucks won the championship last season also has something to do with this.

Looking at the injury control list in the news, their Warriors only finished 16th last season......

After seeing the news, Kerr felt the need to follow Milwaukee's style of play last season and control the team's injury rate.

So how to control it? Reduce the playing time of some players and try not to appear too high in terms of win percentage......

Don't fight too hard for the number of wins.

The opponent of this game, and seeing this news, plus there are a lot of things going on around Coach Kerr recently.

It made him want to delay a few games.

Especially against the Timberwolves, who have two champions, Kerr directly wants the Warriors to lose this game.

We've only lost one game in the regular season so far, and it's scary to think about.

While in the car thinking about what to do next, Cole suddenly found himself distracted!

As soon as he thought of this, the car behind him didn't brake directly, and he stiffly got into Cole's car.

It's just a thought that just came out, and in the next 1 second, Cole was already knocked out in the car!

From the outside, Cole's car spun around three times in the air before smashing to the ground......

Another driver: "Branch...... Coach Cole...... Buy Karma ...... My kids are still watching the Warriors vs. Timberwolves game. Why did you end up on the road......"

Seeing this, the middle-aged driver immediately picked up his mobile phone and called the police. He and his kids are die-hard Warriors fans.

I didn't expect to hit the head coach of the Warriors......

......

Valejo: "Oh, that's great! It's time to show my thoughts for tonight! I actually hope that the team can win~"

Valejo, who was on the sidelines, said with a twinkle in his eyes at this time.

The players all smiled easily when they heard that Coach Kerr was leaving. Including Wharton.

Wharton: "The Timberwolves are bullying me too much!! The manager also said that you should not get hurt. That's what you're going to do. I'll take care of the rest! ”

Several players complained about Coach Cole in their hearts and began to listen carefully to the young coach's assignments.

Wharton: "There's only one thing I have on my mind, and that's that. Three points for me to paste!! This is the main thing, and the second thing is that the interior players have to be in place defensively......"

The players on the Timberwolves' side need to rest, except for the goji champions. The rest of the physical fitness has decreased significantly.

Garnett beckoned to his teammates and began to warm up. Mitchell was on the sidelines and gave the players tasks.

The biggest speculation in the media about the Wolves this season is whether the player will become an assistant coach of the team after retiring.

Garnett's form in the team at this time is that he is a key player in the team, and at the same time can patiently explain tactics and so on.

It didn't take long for the lineup here to come out, and they were Downs, Garnett, Wiggins, LaVine and Jones!

Downs had a technical foul on his back. Martin was already at the hospital by this time......

Wiggins doesn't care, he can play 48 minutes. The title of "health expert" in the team is not called casually.

Rubio sat down on the sidelines with a relaxed face at this point.

The best thing about the Timberwolves this season is that their main lineup and bench lineup are very strong!

This has become an important factor for teams to compete for the Eastern and Western championships or championships!

That's bench depth for a team!

The lineup on the Warriors' side is Vallejo, Azeri, Barnes, Curry and Livingston!

Li Feng continued to rest off the court, and he didn't need to play until the next game.

For the Warriors' bench players, the main thing they do right now is pass the ball to the main players or role players first. It doesn't matter if you get points or not.

It's all about how long you can play with your teammates.

LaVine held the ball to the frontcourt at this time and was finally blocked by Curry! Wiggins ran past him and picked up the basketball to score points!!

The Timberwolves fans at the scene immediately boiled!

Garnett's presence on the field made both Vallejo and Ezeli tremble......

This former wolf king, although he is now a little older. But he is still very tough on the field!

Unlike Kevin, who is gentle and elegant under the game, when the wolf king is on the field, sometimes his state can be described as ferocious!

That's why Timberwolves head coach Mitchell is so reassured.

With Garnett checking the team's young players, it is natural that the whole team will become more confident from top to bottom.

Garnett: "Well, Wiggins, don't get too entangled with Barnes on the other side. Downs and I defended each other's interior center and two strikers.

Your main task is to prevent your opponent's long-range three-point shots!

That's what the Warriors are good at. Curry is here, and this player can also be packed! ”

Wiggins nodded at this point, then pushed LaVine away and went to defend Curry himself.

The two then staged a death entanglement! In the end, Curry missed a three-point shot, and Garnett got the rebound and passed the ball to LaVine. The latter hit a three-point shot without defense in the middle of the half!

! The Warriors are even more far apart from their opponents at this point.

Under Kevin's control, the players on the Timberwolves' side have also become a little more cautious.

The two champions also appeared on the field together at this time.

In fact, this made the Warriors fans at the scene feel quite emotionally collapsed.

But what they didn't understand was that when the camera panned to Wharton's side, they saw that the interim head coach of the Warriors didn't mean to despair at all.

Wharton, who was in a suit and leather shoes, was watching the game very intently.

The confident and handsome appearance, and the figure that has not been out of shape after becoming a coach, attracted many female fans to come and watch the game.

Curry: "Why does it always feel like there's something missing on this team right now......"

Moe God inadvertently made eye contact with Azeri, only to realize that it was Grimm who was missing. And Iguodala on the field.

In last season's game, as long as Green and Iguodala were in the game, he and Thompson felt solid.

Two very confrontational forwards, and the Warriors seem to have forgotten the fact that their center is weak during the game.

There is also Li Feng, now he is sitting on the sidelines and watching the game quietly.

Without these two, there seemed to be two very good helpers missing from the game.

Curry held the ball across half the court at this time and found that he was being targeted by the opponent. So he passed the ball to Vallejo.

The latter was directly caught by the Wolves and Downs, and finally lost the ball. Wiggins picked up the basketball, passed Curry and rushed to the frontcourt.

Less than 10 seconds after circling with Livingston, he flew again and deducted points again!

Vallejo also felt that he would not win the game like this......

Like Curry again for the ball. The latter looked at him with some confusion for a few seconds, and finally passed the ball over.

Facing Downs' defense, Vallejo was suddenly possessed by a Hollywood actor......

Downs immediately picked up a second technical foul and was sent off...... The Timberwolves asked for a timeout.

The pause came a little suddenly. Wharton would have wanted to take a timeout.

Now it seems that it is not necessary. His teammates all looked at Valejo with approval.

He directly let one of the opponent's top center strikers go off the field!

Wharton immediately asked Li Feng to warm up on the sidelines, and then he briefly communicated with his team's players and then went to sit on the bench. A confident look.

At this point, one of the assistant coaches bent down and said something to Wharton with his hand.

I saw Wharton, who was still calm and relaxed just now, stood up directly from the bench!!

Wharton, who found himself reacting a little violently, sat down again......

Wharton: "Who else knows about this?" ”

The young Wharton immediately turned to the assistant coach just now.

Teaching Assistant: "No one. Let's know ...... now."

Wharton: "If you know, I'll be fine." We'll talk about it after the game. Do you understand? ”

Teaching Assistant: "Ming...... Got it......"

Apparently Wharton's appearance had scared the assistant teacher out of the way.

Wharton: "I like your prank~hahahahaha!" ”

The laughing Wharton and the awkwardly smiling assistant coach made the players and assistant coaches around him let their guard down.

Wharton's mind was racing at this point. Coach Cole was unconscious in the hospital at this point.

Then in the next game, Cole will not come. What about the team?

At this time, more than 10 questions related to the team suddenly popped up in my mind. But Wharton just sat there quietly, staring ahead.

It feels as if he is still concerned about the live game, but he looks a little distracted.

The suspension ends. When the fans confirmed that Li Feng was on the field, they let out a lot of cheers again!

After Curry saw Li Feng playing, his heart also relaxed.

......

! Vallejo ran to the sideline to serve, and Curry received his pass and cautiously stepped to the frontcourt.

Not long after Li Feng came back, the score difference had narrowed to less than 10 points.

This season, the veteran Gorgui looks like a low-profile version of Downs in terms of statistics.

Almost all of the numbers are weaker than Downs. But the player's defensive and rebounding abilities are still very good.

And now, on the offensive end, the Timberwolves are not so strong.

Without Downs, the main focus of fire is also on the outside players.

But apparently the Warriors team with Li Feng is very good in terms of the pace of the game.

Curry used Li Feng's body as a cover after half time, but passed the ball in the air to Vallejo, who made Gorgi foul and played 2+1 again!

At this point, the opponent has not asked for a timeout.

And the Warriors fans at the scene are getting more and more crazy!

At this point, they are only 5 points away from their opponents!

Wiggins stepped up immediately! Hit a three-pointer under the Warriors' bag!

At this time, Li Feng slowly dribbled through the half.

Laven no longer deliberately defends against Li Feng. Because he found that as the game progressed, Li Feng's personal dribbling ability seemed to be rising rapidly!

In the first two quarters of the game, with Li Feng's state at that time, it was relatively easy for him to defend the Asian defender.

But now he found that defending Li Feng and cutting off the ball couldn't be done at all!

Li Feng's dribbling speed is still not fast, but he can't catch this guy's trajectory in terms of foot movement and rhythm!

With Curry and Li Feng on the court, the Warriors are also alive!

The Timberwolves noticed that their opponents suddenly became stronger, and they also adopted a conservative style of play. They can only barely maintain the score difference now, and not be overtaken by the opponent.

This is also a bottom line for their team manager.

Rubio is back now, and with his fitness, maybe there will be a dip in ability in the second half of the fourth quarter.

So as long as the score is not overtaken, they will keep playing each other.

Li Feng, who went to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Barnes, who immediately passed the ball back.

At this point, Curry was already in a position in the distance. took Li Feng's pass and hit a three-point shot directly!

Barnes was in good form today. Plus the Warriors have Li Feng and Curry in the arena.

It's getting tricky for the Warriors all of a sudden!

Wiggins is here to organize the game. Jones took his pass on the other side and hit a jumper with a 2-point shot!

Azeri picks up a rebound. Curry took the pass directly from the side, and then threw the ball hard to Li Feng.

After the latter got the ball, he strode directly past LaVine, and then hit a three-point jumper!

Wharton thought at this point that he would just let the bench play for about 2 minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and then switch to the main team.

Coach Cole's business, he's gone for it.

Anyway, let's get this game over first.

That's when morale is high on the Warriors' side. The Timberwolves are without small forward and center Martin.

So far in the game, it is actually the players on the Warriors' side who are more advantageous.

First of all, it can be seen from the field that the rhythm of the Forest team has been disrupted.

The players present were waiting for a timeout. But this pause has not come for a long time.

There are several reasons for their confusion. For example, the pace of the Warriors' game in the third quarter suddenly became much faster!

There is also the fact that Vallejo is a player who asks their players to foul at every turn......

Garnett succeeded in beating Azeri at this time! Then the ball is scored. The scores of the two teams have been stalemate.

In the eyes of the fans, the game is starting to get exciting!
