For two seasons in a row, the Warriors have been a highlight in the regular season and eliminated in the playoffs.

But while there hasn't been a lot of media talk this season, the Warriors' management has a vague sense that the team may be going downhill.

At this time, some of the fans present have already learned the news that Cole is hospitalized! News that has just come out of the major sports headlines!

And until now, Cole has been in a coma! Wharton knew he couldn't tell his players about it in advance.

He thinks the best-case scenario tonight is for himself to wait for the team's victory and the Warriors players to visit Kerr.

The manager could have suffered a serious injury. You may not be able to get back on the field for a while or even a season.

That means that the Warriors' lineup may completely collapse after this season!

The third quarter of the game was a torment for the Timberwolves players. Because the momentum on the opponent's side has already started!

While the Timberwolves players dunked in various ways during the game, the 2-point shot was made. But the Warriors players have already begun to "accompany you to see that three-point rain"......

！ The Warriors' style of play is now simple.

That's to let Vallejo and Azeri desperately fight for rebounds! They just have to defend.

Because the offensive end really can't get the ball......

Vallejo is a smart guy, and the Cavaliers have been in a state of talent since his years in Cleveland.

But he can stand out from the team when the Cavaliers don't have a great center! It's not that he can be reused with a few fake falls in the ring.

But in addition to some of his own skills, Valejo's reaction on the field is also a ball quotient.

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

The quarter was drawing to a close. Li Feng has already scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists at this time!

The sudden increase in the number of assists was mainly due to a change in the team's tactics and changes to the team's lineup.

Wharton didn't know why, he was still talking and laughing with the players in the first half, but in the third quarter, he looked a little wooden on the sidelines?

I guess I'm thinking about the next way to play in the game.

LaVine didn't run to the basket this round either. The Warriors' under-the-basket defenders are guarding you as if they have a grudge against you at this time!

Probably because it was at the Warriors' home court, the referee's whistle for tonight's game also tended to blow Minnesota, so the Timberwolves players were much more restrained at this time.

The Warriors fight for three points with them, so they will come too. But now they have also found that the three-point efficiency is indeed not as high as that of the Warriors......

This is the signature style of play of other teams!

And when a team is enraged, their potential also explodes on the field!

Jones eventually latched on to LaVine's land-hitting pass.

Facing Li Feng's defense, he finally passed the opponent, but when he made the subsequent jumper, he was directly fanned away by Li Feng behind him!

Azeri picked up the basketball and made a long pass directly to Curry, who ran straight away! It's too late for the Timberwolves to chase!

At this time, Curry directly pulled out a jump shot and hit a three-point shot!

Garnett: "Jones! You, and Wiggins switch places! Wiggins has a mission for you now! Beware of Curry!

Then LaVine and I and Jones were looking for opportunities to attack. The lead we played in front of us can't just let the other side overtake it! ”

At this point in the game, Kevin's role played. The players basically don't think much about how the game will be played when the situation is not open and the manager does not want to pause.

According to their thinking, they are a screw in the game, and the coach tells us to play how we play, and we will be finished.

But Garnett, the team's former Wolves, doesn't think so. He wondered how he could win the game!

If there are troublemakers who can't keep up with the pace. Even the head coach deliberately doesn't want to win, he can't get by with him!

Mitchell watched with relief from the sidelines.

It's great to have this kind of "big brother-level" player in the team. In a team, it is best to have one or two cohesive players in the team.

His teammates listened to him and the players were not easy to slip 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' offensive ability on the outside guard side is a little fouled! Naturally, Kevin's main thing to do is to make Curry's hands cool down quickly!

In this way, the players on the Timberwolves' side have a chance to win the opponent!

At this time, they no longer asked for a big victory over the Warriors, and the fear on their bodies was like a chill, slowly coming to their backs......

No matter what you say, the Warriors are also skinny camels in the regular season.

Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've seen a lot of pigs running away. Over the years, various teams have played in front of the Warriors, and the previous seasons have basically ended in failure.

This time, Wiggins took the basketball, used his body, forced past Li Feng and Curry, and passed to LaVine, who also jumped back and hit a three-pointer!

Also a sophomore, LaVine really started to get noticed by fans and media attention this season.

At this time, LaVine's average data per game is 10.9 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.6 assists! That's a good backup defender in the team!

The Timberwolves have a good roster this season.

At the same time, it also puts invisible pressure on every player. Because when a team of players can play, the reputation is not very low.

When a season passes, there are always players who don't perform well, or even don't perform at all.

Wait to be traded, or look for a chance to get a game average that you are happy with the following year. It can only be so.

So the players on the Timberwolves' side basically played hard. LaVine is in good shape today and may be able to break through 20 points in a single game!

In the last 16 seconds or less, Curry hit three points 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!

The players on both sides were in a state of fatigue to varying degrees.

Both coaches are more energetic. Wharton was very strong at this time! He watched with his hands on his hips as the third quarter ended.

At this time, Wharton had just transitioned from being a player to an assistant coach of the team, and it wasn't clear who the team would be the head coach before long.

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

！ The Warriors had no problem playing in the third quarter, and only a few benches were allowed to play for a while early in the fourth quarter.

So for the rest of the day, Wharton won't be going to make any more changes to the lineup.

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

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

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

Today, the players on the Timberwolves' side also felt the ruthless side of the Warriors!

Even Garnett had a feeling of being overwhelmed. Because the basketball barely 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 is true for this season's competition.

When he was with 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 adjustment, there is finally a season that gives everyone hope. Naturally, the players are basically going to work hard to get to such a result.

Wharton: "I'm going to play two players for two minutes. Then the rest of the game is completed by the players in the third quarter.

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

After a brief remark, Wharton immediately walked back. When he faced the players on the bench, he had a serious face.

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

It's uncertain whether this game will win or not, it's the whole season that counts. How far they can play while Cole is in the hospital.

Everything is unknown.

Mitchell: "In the game, there are times when you have to listen to Kevin.

We must grasp the offensive efficiency well. Don't go too low. Wiggins: Can you still play in the fourth quarter? ”

Wiggins: "I'll have no problem playing two more quarters"

Mitchell: "Okay. Then you go up in the fourth quarter and continue to defend Curry. Just keep the Warriors' three-point shot under control!

We're one step closer to winning against them! Maybe we might just bring down the Warriors......"

......

The Timberwolves don't have much to choose from when it comes to substitutions. Let some mediocre substitutes play the game, maybe you will lose the game right away.

So the team only replaced Rubio in the fourth quarter of the game to replace Jones, although LaVine already looked tired, but today's LaVine is really accurate!

So the team didn't mean to let him go down and rest.

At the beginning of the final quarter, both teams did not hit high shots.

！ The Timberwolves are looking a little better.

The two coaches had various timeouts. In the end, Wharton now only has one timeout left.

And the other party has no pause.

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

Everyone on the Warriors' side is excited!

Ezeri's face was already a little pale.

Wharton immediately learned from Cole to praise him, and after a brief inquiry about the situation, he let him rest.

Curry and Li Feng walked side by side.

Wharton: "That's right, what about Garnett...... There is a good way to defend and organize the team inside. You get the idea.

Rubio on the outside, and he is very good at passing, so ...... I would say that if there are two organizers on the other side, then if we have five organizers......"

The reaction of the players at this point was expected by Wharton.

What does 5 organizers mean? Not kidding?

Li Feng: "Coach, you want to talk about triangle offense, right?" ”

Wharton: "yes!! That's right! Got the idea, right? Triangle Offensive Tactics! If I'm not mistaken, Li Feng, the team you were in last season used a lot of triangle offense, right? ”

Li Feng: "That's right. I'll be honest, it requires the coach to grasp the overall state of the team and the individual ability of the players to meet the standards.

And a high degree of flexibility is required during the game. That's why there are so few teams attacking with triangles these days."

Wharton: "......"

Li Feng: "We can do this. Limit the flexibility of the triangle attack and make it easy to play on the field.

For example, let ...... Iguodala becomes the 'middle' player, the defender is on his side, the center and the big forward are on the other side."

Wharton: "That's it!!" Let me emphasize that the triangle attack, open up the space distance, and thus increase the difficulty of the opponent's defense! Not much to say about the offense. Let's play! ”

The pause lasted for a moment, and Wharton didn't know how to organize the language for a while.

He knew these things in his head, but he had just come up with them.

No, the Warriors could immediately fall into passivity and lose the game. use, and for a while I didn't know what to say.

On the Milwaukee Bucks' side last season, the main offensive tactic was the triangle offense!

Wharton didn't know how they used the triangle from start to finish. The triangular offensive is a rather general term.

It can evolve a lot of tactics internally. For example, Kidd's so-called "mirror positioning" tactic since last season is a relatively simple tactical play that evolved through the triangle offense!

Li Feng's words directly made Wharton feel a lot clearer. He immediately told the players what the triangle attack was mainly doing, and the time was over.

The players also know a rough idea, that is, to open up the space and create defensive difficulties for the opponent!

This is really good for now! Li Feng used this tactic again, and it was many months later.

Back in the game, the Warriors put Speights and Iguodala on the court. Both Azeri and Barnes were running out of energy.

Curry got the ball and rushed to the front court quickly, easily past Rubio, and passed the ball to Iguodala.

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

It's a bad sign. Because you don't know how the other side is going to fight.

Li Feng: "They want to wrap you up." That's it! ”

Curry: "Li Feng: I feel that the Bucks used this set of tactics last season, and the team is still a little bit clear. Confusion may occur. It looks like it's going to work, but the rhythm should be messed up."

Li Feng: "...... Iguodala you pull it out! And Speights is always ready to attack. I'm going to be the 'middle player' of this tactic! ”

Andre Iguodala: "You're at the small forward position? ”

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

Originally, Li Feng felt that he should not have a 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!

At this time, it is very suitable for Li Feng to come out and organize the warriors!

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

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