Zhuang Fei definitely doesn't want to lose this game, and losing it basically means the end of this round of the series, facing the Spurs 1-3 behind, even if Jordan is alive, it is difficult to make a difference.

David Robinson took advantage of his height, and after receiving the ball, he didn't dribble directly to shoot, even if the Timberwolves were in place, they still couldn't prevent the ball from falling into the net, but soon, the Timberwolves were not to be outdone, Pierce soon returned to Yan Sè, he has rarely stubbornly impacted the basket in this game, he is now using his back and shooting more to solve the battle, young people rarely like such a big one, they all want to complete their homework in the air, but Pierce knows, Against the Spurs, he must fight with his strongest weapon. A standard step-back jumper is also a hit.

Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, the two teams have been fighting back and forth, and the scores have been alternating, almost repeating the process of the third quarter. But now Zhuang Fei is not happy, because Duncan has not made a shot yet, after the madness of the third quarter, the power forward fell silent again, but even so, under the normal play of David Robinson and other Spurs players, the Timberwolves still did not gain an advantage, if the balance continues, then it is possible that the Timberwolves will be defeated by the Spurs by Duncan at the last moment, and now the other Spurs players are giving Duncan time to rest and recharge.

"We've been held back by the Spurs, we can't be so tepid now, we have to change," D'Antoni said worriedly to Zhuang Fei.

Zhuang Fei nodded, which is also what he wants to do: "Now we have to score a lot of points, and at this time Lewis is no longer of much use on the court." He can't open up his threes, and he can't open up space for his teammates."

After saying that, Zhuang Fei did not hesitate to ask Nash on the bench to hurry up, Nash had just been off the court for 2 minutes, and he was almost full in the first three quarters. Now he is indeed a little tired.

"Steve, remember that umbrella tactic, go up and replace Rassad"

Looking at the back of Nash's departure, D'Antoni is still a little worried, the umbrella tactic is not a conventional tactic, Nashbo's tactics, no one will let the players float outside to put three points at the last moment, and this tactic basically has no interior defensive ability. Of course, for the current Spurs, the interior defensive ability is negligible, and it makes no difference whether Lewis plays or Nash plays.

"Zhuang, isn't it too early, should we wait" If the Timberwolves players play umbrella tactics and throw a few without throwing in, then it is very likely to collapse, and the Spurs will not let go of such an opportunity. And for things like three-point shots, even players with strong three-point shooting ability dare not say how sure they can be, it is completely unreliable. Moreover, the Spurs' outside defense is not weak.

"Of course I do, but do you think I have a choice? That has to change now, and the Spurs don't have much time to think it through, and if we do wait for Duncan to take over the game, it will be really late. ”

"Now there are 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter. We only had 4 or 5 minutes left and we had to open up the difference."

Garnett looked at the situation on the court, and now Duncan is still accumulating, but the Timberwolves still can't pull away the score. The Spurs' defense gives the Timberwolves no explosiveness to score, and the explosiveness of scoring is, as the name suggests, a scoring streak. The Spurs limited the Timberwolves to the point where they couldn't play offense, as the team's only interior strength. He couldn't get up against the Spurs Twin Towers at all. Garnett's trip to this year's playoffs was a bit injured, the Kings' Chris Webber, the Jazz's Carl Malone, and the Spurs' Tim Duncan, encountered stronger and stronger opponents, and he suddenly felt like the protagonist of a Hollywood movie, constantly challenging the stronger and stronger "Demon King".

"It seems that I still need to improve my strength, just this current strength is not enough at all, and there is no way to make any monstrous waves in the playoffs" Thinking of his performance in the face of these super power forwards, and thinking about Duncan's performance when he faced him again, the fluttering that was originally caused by entering the Western Conference Finals was also thrown out of Garnett's mind in an instant.

"The coach is right, if my goal is to be the first person, I shouldn't be happy because of this progress, the playoffs are a stage for a superstar like Duncan to shine, and now my strength can't shine at all" Although Garnett's organizational ability is very good, he doesn't like this style of play from the bottom of his heart, he wants to go to the basket like Duncan. That's the most domineering style of play on the inside, but in the face of the Spurs Twin Towers, he can't get into the inside line at all. It gave him a sense of powerlessness, a sense of powerlessness that he lacked all his strength.

Garnett's organized offense is very good, the Timberwolves have no other point guards except for Nash, so many times when Nash rests, Garnett will make a cameo appearance to organize the offense, although Mobley is more involved in the team organization according to Zhuang Fei's requirements, but Mobley is still unable to satisfy Zhuang Fei, and it cannot reach the level of Ginobili in the future. So Garnett now has to make a cameo role in the organization, and Garnett is also a little relieved to see Nash back on the court, he doesn't really want to do this kind of work.

"Steve, this is really what the coach meant" Garnett naturally knows the team's umbrella tactics, although he has not used it on the court, but he has also practiced it in training in the past few days. Everyone knows the pros and cons of this tactic, and if it does work well, then the Timberwolves' long-standing lack of scoring will be resolved immediately, which is enough to set off an offensive frenzy.

"That's right, that's what the coach means, the next thing we have to do is keep passing the ball and keep shooting, Kevin, you need to keep rushing for rebounds" recalled the instructions that Zhuang Fei gave him just now, Nash said firmly to the Timberwolves players.

"We get it"

Vicky watched the Timberwolves replace Nash and remove Lewis and didn't feel anything wrong, Lewis is the most ineffective player for the Timberwolves on the court, the offensive efficiency of this game is low, as for the defense? Not to mention, but the average height of the Timberwolves is lower when Nash plays and Lewis is off.

"It seems that Coach Z is determined to be a shrinking turtle," thinking about the Timberwolves' special shrinkage defense that is different from other teams, Vicky is also angry.

"Huh? This tactic again? So early? Vicky saw that the Timberwolves players were running differently after Nash came on the court, and soon knew what the Timberwolves were doing, which was the tactic of Zhuang Fei in the second game after removing Pierce and Garnett and defeating them in the last minute.

"Coach Z is really the best gambler, compared to him I am too conservative, since I want to bet, then I will lose to the end" Vicky immediately let Mario Elie on the bench to replace David Robinson, Zhuang Fei's tactic in Vicky's view Although it is a gamble, but it is also extremely shameless, this tactic of defense must move quickly, and the awareness of defensive running must also be strong, which also has to let Vicky withdraw a slow-moving big man, which also weakens the Spurs' interior strength to some extent, That's why the Timberwolves were able to beat the Spurs last time. But Vicky doesn't believe that this tactic can be permanent, after all, although the Spurs' outside players are old, they have a strong sense of defense, although the vertical movement may be a little slower, but there is no problem with lateral movement, and the Timberwolves' tactic requires the players to move laterally, so this is also the reason why the media named it an umbrella tactic.

"Vicky's adjustment is really fast, as soon as there is a change, I will find out" D'Antoni couldn't help but sigh, this clash with the Spurs Zhuang Fei and Vicky on the courtside battle made him amazed, both of them are the kind of coach with extremely sharp eyes, and they are also the kind of coaches who can change the game in an instant

The coach of the situation, and the grasp of the situation between the two is also beyond the ordinary people, as a bystander, he also saw the gap between himself and these two, originally thought that he had learned enough knowledge by Zhuang Fei's side this season, but now it seems that there is still a lot of things missing.

Nash's play did bring great changes to the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves' players shot more resolutely, and because of David Robinson's departure, the speed on the court immediately rose, which is relatively close to the rhythm of the Timberwolves, so soon the Timberwolves began to have a momentum.

"It seems that we were lucky today," Zhuang Fei said with a smile to D'Antoni on the sidelines. He was right, and now the Timberwolves have started to pull away.

"But I don't know how much they can stick to this kind of luck?" D'Antoni doesn't think so, the Timberwolves are the best three-point team this season, the team's three-point shooting rate is more than 40%, the three umbrella tips on the court, Mobley, Pierce, and Jackson's three-point shots are above 40%, D'Antoni admires Zhuang Fei's ability to employ people and see people, what kind of players use what kind of tactics, this is what Zhuang Fei often says to him, and then contact Zhuang Fei's triangle offense in the Duncan era of Wake Forest, the small tactics of the Carter era, and now the Timberwolves' running and bombing, This man definitely has the most tactical variations of any of the top coaches in the United States. No top coach is going to change his tactics on a regular basis, like Phil Jackson, like Don Nelson.

"If I don't have the right players, will I keep running?" D'Antoni was confused. It was the first time he had thought about it.

D'Antoni was pondering, but the Timberwolves were starting to change, and the score was starting to change.
