As soon as Horn's long-range shot is opened, the Timberwolves' joint defense immediately becomes a decoration, and Horn belongs to the type that can't stop once he shoots.

This shot, coupled with Horn's three-in-a-row breakthrough ability, the Timberwolves couldn't stop Horn at all, and the two teams reached a tie at the end of the first quarter. At 32:32, both teams scored high scores, which seemed to be a clash of two strong offensive teams, but in fact the Nets were a poor offensive team, and they played like this because Horn scored 20 points in the first quarter.

Horn scored 20 points in the first quarter, shocking the audience at once, although Love also scored 13 points in the first quarter, but compared with Horn's 20 points, the shocking effect was far worse.

Horn scored 20 points in the first quarter, and Adelman just stopped paying attention to defense in the second quarter, and at this time he began to give Horn a trick.

Adelman is a coach who is bold and flexible in his use of tactics. When he first coached the Rockets, Van Gundy Jr. always asked Yao Ming to force the position, but after Adelman arrived at the team, he let Yao Ming cut the position more through blocking and dismantling. This incident shows that Adel is a person who pays attention to means in terms of tactics.

At the break in the first quarter, Adelman noticed that Horn's breakthrough was powerful and the mid-range shooting was open, and at this time he asked the team to adopt some trapping strategies, while also consolidating the restricted area, and most of the outside space was still open to the Nets. This defensive strategy is actually a more flexible joint defense, which has a strong targeted package in it.

At the beginning of the second half, Horn got the basketball again, and obviously felt that the Timberwolves were more targeted.

At this time, there is no space for him to break through, and his shooting will be harassed immediately, and after losing his shooting skills, Horn's shooting resistance to harassment has been greatly reduced, and it is very impossible for him to play simply and roughly.

Horn faced a targeted defense at this time, first took a tentative and sudden step, but as a result, the opponent's defense immediately sandwiched Horn in the middle.

Horn could only pass the ball to Williams at this time, and Williams looked a little tired today, and he took the ball and shot a three-point shot but also missed.

This is the tragedy of the Nets, if the Nets have the ability to shoot, Horn alone plays one side to attract the bag, and the other side must have a chance to shoot three-pointers, but the Nets have no shooter, not a single shooter.

The Timberwolves played back, and Beasley easily played Wallace once, and Wallace and Beasley are two extremes of small forwards. Wallace is explosive in energy and extremely rough in offensive skills, while Beasley is also flashy in technique but almost no aggressiveness.

One plays basketball and plays technique, and the other plays basketball and physical fitness, and these two people can't play together at all.

The Timberwolves began to target themselves, Horn knew very well what he was facing at this time, and it was not impossible to hit if he continued to play strongly, but the shooting rate must be low, and at this time Horn knew that he needed to pass the ball.

But you can't pass directly to your teammates to shoot three-pointers, your teammates' three-point shots are very unstable, what should you do at this time, Horn feels a little scratching his head? Today, the Junior General did not let the team continue to play energy basketball, which is more suitable for playoff showdowns rather than regular season encounters.

After the Timberwolves adopted a flexible defense, Horn continued to look for opportunities but couldn't find them.

In the end, Horn was still angry, Nima! If you don't have a fighter, you can get on it and them directly.

More than 2 points in the opening quarter of the second quarter, Horn finally stopped being patient, he took advantage of Williams to pull the ball, and drilled into the Timberwolves' restricted area from an empty cut on the weak side, and at this time Williams outside instantly passed the ball in.

Horn caught the ball and started a three-shot combo, one step past Beasley, who was catching up, and then hit Lefou's head with a final step, and the last step flew towards Pekovic's head.

Horn swooped in like a beast, and Pekovic jumped up and struck Horn's arm with a wave of one hand.

"Smack!"

A clear defensive foul, the referee blew the whistle and Horn went to the free throw line.

Horn hit two solid shots from the free-throw line, and the Timberwolves' second-quarter shooting began to drop slightly, and Rubio actually started shooting, and he missed the free-throw line.

The Timberwolves missed, Horn came over this round and cut in to hit the basket, this time Horn suddenly learned a good way, took the ball and dribbled a step, but immediately stopped in the first part of the three-in-a-row, and immediately turned sideways with an Olajuwon-style feint to shake all the inside lines of the Timberwolves, so that Horn turned around and scored two points with a throw.

Horn switched from ball-handling to a combination of off-ball and ball-handling, and began to use a triple shot, which Horn has only now begun to use to fully grasp all his tricks.

The Timberwolves did not have an absolute offensive dominant player, and Lefu was targeted by Horn, and Lefu still forced his back to eat Horn when he hit again.

However, at this time, Horn learned to be obedient, and he didn't need to foul the action, but used his height to cover the top of Lefu, so that Lefu did not have a good vision to attack, and the bottom was cleanly resisted.

Horn's side is clean, but I can't imagine that Lefou's small actions are quite a lot, Lefou's actions are not fouls, but they are indeed a little dirty, Horn can't bear to worry about him at this time, this is the Timberwolves' home These actions Lefu can do, Horn will definitely foul when he moves.

Horn finally held on, and Lefou's low-post offensive ability was not strong, and a hook came out and missed.

Horn turned around and grabbed the rebound, smiled at Love, and suddenly rushed towards the opponent's half.

Love and Hornby are not fast at all! Beasley is also reluctant to run, and in the end only Rubio is willing to run and defend, Rubio knows that his offensive shortcomings are significant, so he usually runs and defends desperately when he plays.

Rubio's defense was really good, blocking Horn's route, Horn didn't have a little mercy at this time because the opponent was short, three consecutive hits, one step to Rubio's side in one step to completely knock the opponent away, and finally got up and made a layup.

Horn bullied Rubio extremely happily, and the Nets scored points again.

After the Timberwolves targeted the joint defense, Horn began to force the inside to foul, and began to look for opportunities to play offensive and defensive transitions, which is the same idea as playing the Celtics, but without the full support of the coach.

It's not that the little general doesn't want to support, he thinks that today's game can be played normally, but now that he sees that Horn's desire to win is so strong, he is embarrassed not to give tactics.

In the next dead-ball time, the little general also gave tactics here, and the Nets continued to play energy basketball, dead defense, and offensive and defensive switching.
