Chapter 148: Disadvantage?

Vicky looked at the little general Johnson on the court in a daze, and couldn't believe for a while that the three-point shot facing the defense actually went in, how stinky was the little general in this year's playoffs? The shooting rate is 35%, the three-point shooting rate is 7%, and the team with such a strong interior and strong containment force as the Twin Towers actually played such a data, which is simply unbelievable to everyone, so at first it was just the media criticizing the little general, and even later Vicky couldn't bear it, and even moved the idea of taking him down, just in such a question, the little general fell deeper and deeper, and there was no sign of warming up, and even once again created a record of 13 consecutive missed three-point shots at the top of the arc, And the feeling of this thing is like a virus, starting from the little general to spread to the entire Spurs team, which also makes the little general feel worried, in the end, whether there is no one to defend or not, the more the pressure is greater, and finally everyone can no longer raise the interest in criticizing him, because everyone has given up on him, no one will expect his hand to feel anymore, and the same is true for Vicky, so when he saw the little general shoot this three-point shot, he would be so surprised, because there was no way not to be surprised.

"This is in?" Vicky muttered in distraction, but after a while, Vicky immediately became ecstatic, because just after that, the Spurs attacked again, and the Spurs shot three points again, this time it became the team's small forward Elliott, the Spurs three who were infected by the small general, also scored three points, which means that the Spurs hit three points in a row.

"Hahaha, that's great. It's really good" Vicky laughed wildly on the bench, and the return of the little general's hand also drove the Spurs' outside touch to open, which can be said to have a huge impact on the entire Spurs game, even the winner and loser.

Because the outside line can't be opened, Vicky risked playing the inside and inside coordination in this game, and then used the inside line to force the attack, instead of the regular inside and outside cooperation. The Spurs' two interior players are strong, that's for sure, but again, the Timberwolves have a small defense. There was too little space for the Spurs to cooperate and pass the ball, so there was a pass just now that was broken and then counterattacked.

However, this is no longer the case. As the Spurs find their feel on the outside, Vicky can not take the risk to speed up the offensive tempo, or no longer take the risk to carry out that kind of internal cooperation, now the Spurs only need to play conventional tactics, and more importantly, the Timberwolves will not be able to continue to shrink under the basket, which will provide great support for the Spurs' two major interior lines on the other hand, for the Spurs and for Vicky, such a change is too important.

"I won this game, Coach Z see what you do, do you dare to be a shrinking turtle" Vicky looked at the Timberwolves' bench in ecstasy. Zhuang Fei's calm appearance made him very happy, and the mood that had been held back for a long time was finally released.

The trend of the game quickly responded to Vicky's confidence, and since the young general opened his hand, the Spurs' offense has become very layered, and the Spurs have played smoothly under Duncan's internal and external scheduling. The offensive rhythm slowed down again, and the Timberwolves, who had already had a momentum, were suppressed again, and the Timberwolves played very embarrassed for a while, and Zhuang Fei still couldn't do anything even if he called two timeouts in a row in the first quarter

Solving the problem of the Spurs flowering on the outside, they suppressed 18 games, and this game was a complete explosion. But Zhuang Fei didn't plan to change anything, and he didn't expand the defense line as Vicky thought. He knows he can't solve the problem of the Spurs blossoming on the outside right now, and he also knows that as long as this problem is not solved, the Timberwolves will not be able to take the initiative in their own destiny.

Just when Zhuang Fei was thinking of a way, the first quarter of the game was over, the score was 28-23, the Timberwolves trailed the Spurs by five points, this is the first time in this round of the series that the Spurs scored 28 points in the first quarter, the Spurs still stabilized the defense after the offense improved, and the Timberwolves only scored 23 points in the first quarter.

"Now the Timberwolves are difficult to do" Magic thought with a smile in the stands, according to the strength of the two teams in the first quarter, it is a miracle that the Timberwolves dragged the Spurs into a tie-break, because from the first quarter of the game, the Spurs have the absolute initiative, and the Timberwolves' performance is not bad, but compared to the Spurs' internal and external repairs, the Timberwolves' offense is too far out, and they can't break into the Spurs restricted area at all, so the natural efficiency of such an offense will not be high.

"Maybe there will be new changes" The magician looked at the Chinese on the Timberwolves bench and felt a sense of trust in his heart for no reason, he was the first group of people to identify and know Zhuang Fei, and like Larry Bird, he also admired Zhuang Fei very much.

"Zhuang, what should we do now" D'Antoni looked at Zhuang Fei with a worried face, the situation was originally very good, but just a few three-pointers changed the entire momentum of this game, and the Timberwolves immediately changed from favorable to unfavorable, this kind of rapid change made him, a battle-hardened old basketball man, a little unbearable.

"Don't worry, wait first, let's see the situation first," Zhuang Fei said lightly, but his expression was not as indifferent as his tone, and his brows were tightly wrinkled. He needs to look at the situation now, from the first quarter to see that the Spurs' outside feel is back, but it is also not yet the time to completely make Zhuang Fei make changes, now he can't mess up, at present, he can't move if he hasn't found a way to take care of both inside and outside, just like when he beat the king, he frantically pinched the king's most threatening point before he found the best solution, and now it's the same, chaos is the truth Zhuang Fei understands very well, he must not act rashly now, lest he be completely beaten into a sieve.

Seeing that Zhuang Fei just frowned and didn't do anything, D'Antoni could only do it in a hurry, he could only do it in a hurry when he stood next to Zhuang Fei many times, Zhuang Fei rarely listened to his suggestions on on-the-spot tactics, it can be said that Zhuang Fei was extremely stubborn and conceited in this regard, D'Antoni and Zhuang Fei worked together for a season, and naturally knew Zhuang Fei's xìng style, and now he could only helplessly set his eyes on the field again, but when he looked back, the Spurs hit a three-pointer again, and Zhuang Fei still didn't let the Timberwolves players expand, The Timberwolves still stick to the inherent tactical idea, which is to shrink the basket. It also made D'Antoni's heart sink even more.

"Sure enough, it's a shrinking turtle, such a situation is still shrinking under the basket and can't come out" Vicky looked at Zhuang Fei on the side and thought, although he thought so in his heart, he was also surprised by Zhuang Fei's calmness, Vicky said that Zhuang Fei is a shrinking turtle is definitely not a derogatory term, originally he wanted to use the Spurs to open the outside line to give the Timberwolves a blossom inside and out, and then lay the victory of the game in one fell swoop, but after waiting for a long time, he did not wait for Zhuang Fei's tactical changes, he can only expect Zhuang Fei to change his tactics and expand it now

"Kevin, it's really embarrassing to play now" Paul Pierce watched the little general Johnson hit three points again and was angry, Zhuang Fei made a ball side to force the inside contraction tactics is much better than the current ordinary contraction tactics, if it weren't for such a new type of tactic, the Timberwolves would not only be a few points behind now, and the Spurs' outside shooting rate will also be completely up, which is also a big reason why Zhuang Fei has not adjusted, and the current problem is still within the controllable range, but Zhuang Fei is not in a hurry, The Timberwolves' players are in a hurry, especially Pierce, who is in excellent condition today, is now powerful and has nowhere to go, and he can still play a fast break at the beginning, but now the fast break is gone, and he can only play slowly with the Spurs, which is definitely not what he wants, although his back offense is also very good, and it may not be bad to play slowly, but the Elliott who is defending him on the other side is also very good and has a lot of tonnage, which makes him not very cool to play on his back, if he uses his feet to break through Elliott, it is not impossible, It's just that the thought of entering the Spurs' interior line will encounter those two big men's blocks, Pierce has some needs to consider, in the fourth quarter of the first two games, he broke through Elliott and almost ruined the fate of the Timberwolves, so now the Timberwolves have a sense of fear for the Spurs' restricted area, and even Zhuang Fei is the same, so Zhuang Fei's tactics are extremely conservative in many experts, so this also makes Pierce now have a strong and nowhere to go.

"Bear with me, the coach hasn't thought of a good way yet, we can only do what the coach wants now, try to get the point difference closer, don't be thrown too far" Garnett is also helpless, he is also unhappy, or he has never been happy in this round of playoffs.

The Timberwolves have been waiting for Zhuang Fei's adjustment, but Zhuang Fei has not made adjustments at the end of the second quarter, and the entire first half gives people the feeling that the Timberwolves let the Spurs be suppressed in the restricted area and unable to move, completely at a disadvantage, or without a trace of fighting back. This great passivity was unbearable for the Timberwolves' group of young people.

At the end of the first half, in the cheers of the Spurs' home fans, the first half of this game was 53-46, and the Timberwolves trailed by 7 points, which is already a big difference compared to the previous meetings with the Spurs. This is also a reasonable score on the field so far in this game.

"Coach Z's defensive tactics are very good, the players on the side with the ball are frantically pressing to force the opponent to be unable to handle the ball normally, disrupting the opponent's cooperation, such a contraction can win more time for the defense, it seems that my worries are unnecessary, according to his xìng grid, the third quarter is probably ready to counterattack" Magic Johnson looked at the scoreboard and couldn't help but sound some things before.
