Two consecutive defenses made Ratriel Sprewell, one of the Warriors' offensive endpoints, directly dumb fire.

Obviously, the Warriors won the jump ball, but at the beginning, they were directly beaten by the Timberwolves 4:0.

Wu Dao also used a steal and a big hat to cover the sky, and instantly became the focus of the audience and the media on the sidelines.

Some of the people who came to watch the game today have watched the Timberwolves game before, and they know that the rookie selected by the Timberwolves this year is playing well, and it is different from the "talent reserve" they expected, and he is a rookie with immediate combat power.

But it wasn't until they saw the performance of the two defenses of the martial arts that they finally understood how strong the immediate combat power of this team was.

In the previous preseason games with the Warriors, Wu Dao was a little more serious when facing Jim Jackson, and he didn't actually use his best at other times. And Jim Jackson didn't play much in the preseason, and the audience's attention was also attracted by the offensive attributes of Wudao, and they didn't have a clear understanding of Wudao's defensive ability.

But today's two defenses have shown the strong single defense ability of martial arts.

In today's league, two-time All-Star, who averaged a career-high 24.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game last season, is undoubtedly one of the best outside scorers.

No one would think that Buddo, who singled out Ratriel Sprewell two consecutive rounds of attack, would rely on some "accident".

"It was so exciting at the beginning."

"Will this kid really honestly follow the coach's instructions to assist?"

Marbury scored a fast-break layup, and when he returned to the top of the arc to defend himself, he couldn't help but glance sideways at the side of the martial arts, and couldn't help but think of it in his heart.

Marbury is a sophomore rookie this year, and he asked himself, now that he has an explosive hand today, he can play this kind of ball, and he will definitely not be willing to obediently assist others.

What should first-year rookies do in the regular season?

Lead the team to a crazy win and help the team qualify for the playoffs?

Wake up, this is the NBA, and after all these years, no playoff team needs to be led by rookies. What first-year students have to do in the regular season is to buy as much playing time as possible for themselves, and play effectively in the limited playing time so that the team can see their value.

In order to increase their worth.

What the hell is it to support someone else when you have a talent for terror?

You can't even guarantee playing time as a rookie, what kind of assistance do you support?

Marbury's concern is not unreasonable, in fact, Wu Dao, who blocked Ratriel Sprewell's two goals in a row, is also thinking so in his mind now.

Tactics, you say?

QNMLGB's tactics.

Lao Tzu is going to use Ratril Sprewell to establish his status in the team today!

The kind of game in the preseason is not convincing, but the regular season does!

Alternate between offense and defense.

The Warriors' No. 1 Bembo Coles had already entered the front court with the ball, and his eyes only glanced at Sprewell's position, and then immediately turned his head and looked at Joe Smith on the inside.

There is no need for his teammates to say anything at all, Joe Smith on the inside will quickly come out and hang a block for his teammates.

Marbury's pick-and-roll was delayed, and the ball-handling Bimbo Kers quickly slid to the three-point line and slammed the ball inside from his feet as the Timberwolves' white center stepped in.

Dampier of the Warriors took the ball inside, dunked directly with both hands, and poured the ball into the basket.

There was some crotch-pulling defensive rotation, and this time Garnett chased Joe Smith a little too far and retreated a little slowly.

"KG, focus on defense under the basket."

"If he's shooting high, let him shoot, control the rebound, and defend in the paint!"

On the sidelines, Coach Philip Saunders shouted into the middle of the pitch for the players to make adjustments.

When Lao Mei's coach is instructing, most of them are more passionate, and after a game, the players on the field have huge physical exertion, and the coach's voice is also huge.

This season is his first season in charge of the Timberwolves, and his goal is to lead the Timberwolves to the playoffs.

There are 82 games to play in the regular season, and if you miss any detail, you will be caught by other opponents and attack like crazy.

In the middle of the court, the Timberwolves began to push back.

Marbury's side didn't advance quickly with the ball, and after crossing the halfway line, he slowed down, and only after many of the Timberwolves' players were in place did Marbury slowly enter the front court with the ball.

The Warriors have plenty of time to deal with the Timberwolves' positional battles.

They focused their defense on Tom, Takemi, and Garnett.

However, surprisingly, Marbury, who entered the front court with the ball, was not in a hurry to get out of the ball, and a scorer of Tom's level did not mean to cut inside to seek opportunities, but ran towards Marbury quickly and made a cover for Marbury.

By covering, Marbury took advantage of the time difference between the opponent's change of defense, drilled directly between Marshall and Coles, quickly dribbled the ball into the interior, and sent the ball to the basket with a pick-and-roll.

Joe Smith reached out to interfere, but the basketball was hit head-on, rebounding steadily into the basket.

There was some applause and cheers from the stands, and Marbury had a good chance and it was a beautiful goal.

The Timberwolves' offense was smooth and Minnesota fans were happy.

And the Warriors, who got the ball, became a little stumbling on offense.

Coles, who dribbled into the frontcourt, wanted to repeat his old trick and asked for an exact high pick-and-roll like before.

But this time, Garnett wasn't pulled too far inside by Joe Smith and didn't even chase him off the free-throw line. This caused Coles to burst forward within a few steps before he met Garnett's defense, and at the same time, Marbury quickly surrounded him.

Helplessly, Coles could only jump hard and pass the ball back to Joe Smith behind him.

Joe Smith, who got the ball, was in the open space, hesitated for a second, and immediately raised his hand to throw the ball.

One step inside the three-point line, this kind of inefficient shooting, is almost extinct in the future basketball world.

"Huh!"

Joe Smith's shooting ability is not bad, and the basketball goes straight into the net.

Coach Philip Sanders on the sidelines didn't say anything when he saw the Warriors' goal, this kind of ball, it goes in.

Can you Warriors shoot us Timberwolves to death with this kind of high shooting?

That's Joe Smith, not Jordan.

The ball came to the hands of the Timberwolves again, and the Timberwolves played at a slow pace, still playing slowly. After the players were in position, Marbury was stopped by the Timberwolves who switched in time after breaking through with Tom's pick-and-roll.

Turning around, he gave the ball directly to Tom, who was misplaced to face Coles, who took the ball, directly used his body to eat the opponent, crossed the opponent and then made a quick stop jump shot on the side of the free throw line.

Tom has a good hand, and the basketball brushes into the net.

In the next few rounds, the Timberwolves' offense was generally smooth, with Tom, Marbury, and Garnett successively exerting power, and a large number of offensive baskets and mid-range shots made the Warriors tired to deal with. The efficiency of the three is also good, with a success rate of more than 80% under the basket and an overall shooting rate of more than 50% from mid-range.

Although Wu Dao had fewer opportunities to participate on the offensive end, he also got a few open three-point opportunities, hitting 3 of 3, plus his opening dunk, after the first quarter, he easily scored 11 points.

Compared with the smooth progress of the Timberwolves, the offense on the Warriors' side has become stumbling, and Takeshi has not been involved in the offense much and has focused most of his energy on defense.

Sprewell, who was in the opposite position, was entangled in the death of Martial Arts.

In the face of Martial Arts' defense, Sprewell had no way to rely on his personal ability to break through Martial Arts alone, but with the help of his teammates' blocking, he barely got some opportunities.

However, perhaps because of the terrifying block at the beginning of the martial arts, Sprewell has some scruples about the defensive range of the martial arts, and often plays in a hurry when he gets the opportunity to shoot, for fear that the martial arts will chase after him.

In most rounds, Martial Arts will give Sprewell a serious interference, which causes Sprewell's popularity rate to become very poor.

In the first quarter, Sprewell only made six successful shots, accounting for nearly a quarter of the team's shots, but only hit one of them and scored two points.

On the contrary, Joe Smith made 10 crazy shots when Sprewell drastically reduced the ball, and scored 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in the first quarter, playing a good effect.

It's just that when Sprewell was blocked by the martial arts, the Warriors didn't have a second point of attack to help the team.

At the end of the first quarter, the Warriors trailed the Timberwolves by 18:31 by 13 points.

In the second quarter, the Warriors made a change of formation, taking the No. 1 position and replacing it with Jim Jackson, who has excellent scoring ability.

If you want to say martial arts, the Warriors' coach Callesimo is really calm, he has been blown up by the Timberwolves in the first quarter, and he also put another scoring point of the team off the court.

In fact, what Wu Dao didn't know was that the reason why he didn't replace Jim Jackson for so long was to confirm Wu Dao's defensive ability.

He wanted to see what this rookie from the Timberwolves could force Sprewell toward.

In the '96-97 season, Sprewell played 79 regular season games for the team, and in those games, Sprewell scored more than 18 points in 64 games and scored more than 25 points in more than 40 games.

Iron Man's attendance, terrifying scoring ability, so to speak, in today's league, there is hardly an outside defender who can make Sprewell suffer a big loss.

Well, the Seattle SuperSonics led by Gary Payton and Rainman Sean Camp that year gave Sprewell a real kick.

In that game, Sprewell played 37 minutes and scored eight points.

And today's game made Calesimo smell unusual again.

This result was brought by the rookie of the Timberwolves.

Break periods.

"It's a good game, so keep it up."

"The Warriors didn't let Jim come up in the first quarter, and they definitely came up in the second quarter, unless they didn't want to win today's game."

"Stephen, you're in charge of guarding him, he's taller than you, you just have to block his breakaway, and if he's going to shoot, you can interfere."

"We're so far ahead, it's impossible to get rid of us with a shot."

"We didn't change our lineup for the second quarter and extended the score advantage."

"Martial arts, you defend very well, just defend like this, that kid from Ratrier has already been killed by you! You have to watch out for the number of fouls though. ”

Philip Saunders has a clear idea of maintaining the advantage and expanding the score.

After a 130-second break.

The two teams are back on the court, and the Timberwolves have the ball.

The martial arts style of play remains the same, still revolving around the attack of Garnett, Tom and Marbury, and the way of initiation often starts with Garnett's high blocking.

The most unpretentious tactics often work well.

The Timberwolves' second quarter continued to play smoothly.

However, the Warriors also functioned smoothly on the offensive end after replacing Jim Jackson, and to the surprise of the Timberwolves, Jim Jackson was full of hands today, frequently hitting difficult goals under Marbury's defense.

However, the Warriors' Sprewell is still struggling, and the point difference between the two teams is still inevitably quickly pulled away by the Timberwolves

At the end of the second quarter, the score came to 44:70, and the difference came to 26 points.

Although Wu Dao did not have a chance to hold the ball in the second quarter, he still had a lot of scoring opportunities, 5 of 6 three-pointers, easily scored 15 points, and his personal score also came to 26 points.

The Warriors' players and coaches didn't feel that the Timberwolves were using any effort to expand the margin to this extent.

The outcome is basically determined at this moment.

In the third quarter, the Warriors changed their bench lineup, and the players in the four positions of 1.3.4.5 were changed over and over again, leaving only one starter and four bench players to continue the game.

The Warriors did not replace the main force at this time, but only changed the center to let Dampier, who had already run two quarters, take a break, and the rest of the players were still on the court.

It's the first game of the regular season, so you have to get the main players to play as much as they can and get into the groove quickly.

The Warriors thought that after the Timberwolves changed to the bench lineup in the third quarter, the offensive intensity would be weakened, but they didn't expect that in the third quarter, the rookie of the Timberwolves broke out.

Although the performance of the rookies in the first two quarters seemed to them to be explosive, it was not until the third quarter that the Warriors realized how wrong they were.

After Garnett, Tom, and Marbury and other main forces were discontinued, Takedo was given unlimited firing rights.

The few players who came off the bench all played around Takemichi, and Takeshi also shot inside and outside, shooting 15 times wildly, scoring 21 points in a single quarter.

There is no way to compare the offensive efficiency of martial arts with the first two quarters, but the martial arts in the third quarter showed superstar characteristics.

The low-post singles of the martial arts in positional warfare, and the mid-range rollover and leaning back, are all superstar weapons in this era.

And the outstanding performance of martial arts also completely extinguished the warrior's hope for victory.

At 89:121, the Timberwolves won 30+ and won the first regular season victory.

And Wu Dao played nearly 40 minutes, scored a team-high 49 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and handed over the first report card of the regular season in his rookie season.
