It's not Zhang Feng's responsibility to think about tactics, but he is used to giving advice to the team's style of play, not to mention that David doesn't mind.

"Do you have anything to add?" After some tactical arrangements, David asked Zhang Feng.

"When we get on the court later, the Timberwolves should use the blocking offense, and we need to speed up in an all-round way", the tactics David just talked about did not include this one, and Zhang Feng proposed it as a precaution.

David thought for a moment before replying, "That makes sense, Justin and Carter swapped, and Randolph continued to wait."

"Coach, I can also run fast ......", not being able to play on the court, making Randolph, who vowed to do his best in the game last night, a little embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I'll have to rely on you to defend later, and when they play, you can do whatever you want" Zhang Feng reminded with a smile, David also nodded, the current Timberwolves ball handler is Butler, and the threat of Towns scoring consecutive points is not great.

On the Timberwolves' side, Thibodeau loudly emphasized that the defense needs to run, and Wiggins listened absent-mindedly, he didn't agree with the statement that 'the defense needs to run', especially when the outside line is passed by various steps, and the disadvantage of fewer people hitting more people cannot be compensated by speed.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves launched the attack first, and Butler was already unconfident that Zhang Feng would continue to break through with three threats, and this time he beckoned Gibson to do a block just after halftime.

The Timberwolves' tactics were exactly the same as Zhang Feng thought, Willy hurriedly stepped forward to delay Butler, and in such a critical half a second, Zhang Feng bypassed Gibson's block and re-aligned with Butler.

Before the first wave of blocking and dismantling was completed, Butler raised his head, such an action directly exposed his intention to pass the ball, Zhang Feng stared at his right hand quietly, ready to launch a steal at any time.

It is obviously impossible to hand over to Gibson on the right, and Wiggins on the left has a bad chance of receiving the ball, so he simply calculates it himself, and Zhang Feng in front of him is not ready to shoot defensively, and Butler jumps out directly the moment he makes up his mind.

"It seems that Butler can't be speculated ...... with common sense", Zhang Feng's heart was roared by thousands of divine beasts, he was deceived by Bartley again, and he could only pray that this shot would not score.

It's a pity that Zhang Feng's wish was disappointed, and although the basketball went around and around the hoop several times, it finally rolled in.

Switching offense and defense, Zhang Feng stopped at the top of the arc with the ball and wanted to call for a block, but as soon as he raised his hand, Gibson and Butler went towards him.

Seeing that the bag was about to be formed, Zhang Feng immediately moved sharply to the right, Gibson didn't dare to clamp again, so he could only go back to defend Willy stupidly, and at the same time expected Butler to be able to defend Zhang Feng this time.

But without Gibson's bag, Butler can only choose to defend Zhang Feng closely, he hopes to delay Zhang Feng's breakthrough speed through the weight advantage, and see if there is a chance to cut the ball by the way.

The dream is beautiful, the reality is cruel, and Zhang Feng only used one back turn to make Butler's defense fall apart.

"Tell me what's the use of running with such a defense?" Wiggins muttered in his heart, he didn't dislike Butler's bad defense, but felt that Thibodeau should develop different defensive strategies according to different opponents, Zhang Feng is obviously a player who is basically unsolvable in heads-up, and his corresponding defensive strategy should be to press just after half court, rather than waiting for Zhang Feng to reach the three-point line and then send someone to cover it, which has little effect.

This time Zhang Feng hit the inside line, and Downs delayed early according to Thibodeau's request, but Zhang Feng easily distributed the ball to Costa, who easily took the ball and scored.

The fans at the target center were a little dissatisfied, they felt like they were watching the game video, and it was played on a loop, Zhang Feng had broken through like this for several rounds, why didn't the Timberwolves change at all?

The frustrated fans booed, Thibodeau had no one to get angry but to pace back and forth on the sidelines to relieve his emotions, and Butler looked determined, and he vowed in his heart that he would make the attack.

Not only to play, but also to go heads-up, he did not hesitate to 'drive' Gibson who wanted to block and dismantle, standing up straight and constantly shooting the ball, waiting for a suitable opportunity.

As the Timberwolves pulled away and the offensive time wore out, Butler finally moved, his center of gravity low, his body almost leaning on the ground, ready to overtake Zhang Feng with speed corners.

It was impossible to grab the ball, and Zhang Feng could only raise his hand high to interfere with Butler's gaze at the hoop.

A second later, Butler stopped in the short corner on the right side and let out a low-pitched pull-up shot while he lifted his thigh.

"Learned, learned...", Zhang Feng has been unable to block Butler's shot 3 times, the first time he was deceived, the second time he miscalculated, and this time he couldn't get close.

"Hit, hit, hit", Butler's resolute spirit touched the fans at the target center, and they kept shouting as the basketball flew over the track.

"FUK", "SHIT", "damn", the quality of the three consecutive resounded through the target center, obviously Butler shot this time, Zhang Feng looked back again, and found that the rebound was picked up by Willy, and he hurriedly ran to the frontcourt.

Willy was not ambiguous, he made a long pass in the quarter, allowing Zhang Feng to receive the ball at the three-point line in the frontcourt, and considering that his teammates who followed up at the same time were Bogdan, he chose to stay in the backcourt to watch the play.

The Kings played two and two in the frontcourt, and Zhang Feng and Bogdan faced Wiggins and Butler respectively.

Wiggins is a speed player, not good at strength, Zhang Feng only thought for half a second and chose to break through, Wiggins not only did not dare to reach out to the ball, but also had to pay attention to the position at all times, otherwise it was easy to be deceived by Zhang Feng into a shooting foul.

The two reached the free throw line with their front and back feet, and Zhang Feng stopped and pulled the ball to break through to the right. But this ploy seems to have been seen through by Butler, and he abandoned Bogdan and blocked the route in advance.

Butler's judgment was not a pure gamble, Zhang Feng shot 3 of 4 in the first quarter, and his hand was extremely hot, and the ball was clearly to shoot.

But Zhang Feng doesn't want to be a lone hero like Butler, he plays alone because his teammates can't open it, Bogdan feels good at this time, what reason is there not to pass the ball?

"It's really passed, Nima", seeing Zhang Feng's movements, Butler knew that he was wrong, if Bogdan hit a 3-pointer, it would definitely be a burst of boos from the fans.

Maybe the more you don't want it to happen, the more it wants to happen, and Bogdan, who catches the ball outside the three-point line, immediately shoots, and it's still a hollow ball.

"Defend! Defend! We need to defend! The fans at the target center yelled as Butler guessed, he didn't care, but Thibodeau on the bench looked pig-liver-colored, and a coach who started by defending was actually yelled at for not defending......

Turning Butler to attack, Wiggins ran past him intentionally or unintentionally, and if Butler understood someone, he would pass the ball out, after all, the first quarter was almost over, and he shot 2 of 8, and his hand was extremely cold.

But Butler doesn't think so, he finally got a chance for Zhang Feng's defense to be leaky, and when will he wait if he doesn't shoot now? So he threw it, but still hit the iron, and the angry Wiggins went straight to the backcourt.

Zhang Feng felt hot but chose to pass, Butler felt cold and still played strongly, and the scores of the two teams gradually opened up, and when the first quarter was over, the Kings led the Timberwolves by 11 points at 32:21.
