"But looking back at this game, there shouldn't be much suspense."

O'Neill said from the side.

"That's right, Kerr has slowly started to get familiar with the team recently, and the tactics that Su Chen used last season Kerr is also very good at."

"Now that the Warriors are slowly returning to their position as the defending champions, the Timberwolves are still far from being a team that has almost rebuilt."

Johnson also nodded in agreement.

Despite the recent performance of the Timberwolves, it looks relatively strong.

But as the Knicks have recently started their losing streak, everyone can see that the Knicks are no longer at the level of second place in the East last season.

The Timberwolves' seemingly strongest opponent in the past winning streak is actually due to the decline in the team's strength, and there is no performance of the playoff powerhouse at all.

"Although I like Su Chen's coaching philosophy very much, the Warriors are now recovering faster than expected from the championship, and the Timberwolves don't even have an elite shooter."

Even Kenny Smith, who was so supportive of Su Chen last season, is not so optimistic about this Timberwolves.

Kenny Smith likes that philosophy, and now Kerr understands it well, and the current Warriors don't see much regression from last season.

And at this time, the game is about to begin.

For this game, Su Chen still attaches more importance to it.

In order to maintain his spirit before, Su Chen didn't even use [Eagle Eye], but this time Su Chen was full of energy and had already marked Cole's location in advance.

This game can also be regarded as a place for young players like the Timberwolves to test their progress.

The Warriors also need to run in the lineup now, so this game is a game that both sides will compete for.

At this time, the players of both sides also entered.

Warriors starting lineup: Festus Azeri (C), Draymond Green (PF), Corey Brewer (SF), Klay Thompson (SG), Stephen Curry (PG).

Timberwolves starting lineup: Giannis Antetokounmpo (C), Lore Deng (PF), Robert Covington (SF), Andre Iguodala (SG), Jimmy Butler (PG)

Lore Deng and Iguodala are back in the starting line-up.

Before the start of the game, Su Chen had already communicated with them.

Iguodala has already begun to recognize his position, and Iguodala is not averse to such a position, and he himself does not want to be the boss of any team.

As for Lore Deng, after seeing Giannis Antetokounmpo's talent, coupled with Giannis Antetokounmpo's age, he also recognized the reality and was willing to be the role of Green Leaf.

Originally, he and Boozer led the Bulls last season, but in the face of the Heat being crushed, he didn't think too much about being the team boss.

After all, throughout the offseason, he was scolded by the media and fans for the entire offseason because of his playoff performance.

As for Butler, who came with him, Lore Deng didn't have any objection, others didn't know how hard he tried.

These two people had already recognized their positioning, so Su Chen put them in the starting lineup.

After all, he spent those chips in the offseason to get them in exchange for them just to make them a boost to the team, not to sit on the bench and watch the rookies play.

As for Josh Smith, he still doesn't recognize the reality and thinks the team can't do without him.

Su Chen also asked him to continue to calm down.

Now Su Chen's right to speak in the team has almost reached the peak, and no one can disobey Su Chen.

The Timberwolves don't have a big-name star like James, and the Timberwolves' management and head coach are Su Chen.

After signing the VAM agreement with the boss Taylor, even the boss has no right to interfere, otherwise it will break the VAM agreement.

It can be said that at least this season, the Timberwolves are Su Chen's words.

This is also the reason why Iguodala and Lore Deng returned to their hearts so quickly, because there is nothing to make a fuss about, and Su Chen is the highest authority of the Timberwolves.

Even Josh Smith also tactfully said to Su Chen that he still has the firepower to support the offensive ball of the entire team.

He was stunned for a moment, but he didn't dare to contradict Su Chen.

At the same time, in this game against the Warriors, Gobert and Muscala, the two big inside lines, did not play.

When playing other teams, Su Chen usually arranges one of them to start according to the situation.

But against the Warriors, there is no need for the two of them to start.

On the one hand, the Warriors' interior lines are all blue-collar workers, and there is no interior offensive position at all, and the Warriors' system has at most an interior cut.

There's no back-to-back tactics for these.

On the other hand, a big interior like Gobert who can't keep up with the speed of a projection team like the Warriors will be held back defensively.

Gobert's ability to change guards is average, and when he encounters a top guard, he will directly become a scope, and Curry Thompson obviously has the strength to use Gobert as a scope.

This makes the team with Gobert generally choose to let Gobert retreat, and the normal game will give the opponent a lot of three-point opportunities.

Gobert originally intended to use his defense to improve the team's overall defense, but Gobert would reduce defensive efficiency, so Gobert would not have to play.

Using Giannis Antetokounmpo to play the interior allows for more options for blocking and pick-and-roll.

The Warriors' starters are mostly the same as last season's.

One difference is that Brewer was promoted to the starting line-up.

Originally, this starting position was Iguodala's, but because Iguodala was robbed by Su Chen, even Rubio was thrown away.

When the Warriors couldn't grab it, they took a cheaper Brewer and made him a starter.

However, the current warriors are not much worse than the warriors of the original timeline.

Although the Warriors are without Iguodala, Brewer's addition is not bad.

The second is that Su Chen helped them discover the veteran, Richard Jefferson, as last season's champion small forward, naturally not traded out this offseason.

In the original timeline, Richard Jefferson was a bargaining chip in trading Iguodala.

And because of the experience of the playoffs last season, Barnes is also a little more mature than he was and has played with some confidence.

The Warriors' forward reserves have not weakened much because Iguodala has not arrived.

If Su Chen doesn't snatch Iguodala, the Warriors will not only bring in Iguodala, but also Jefferson and the more mature Barnes.

The reason why Richard Jefferson didn't start was not that he lost Kerr's trust, on the contrary, Kerr also recognized Richard Jefferson.

But considering that he is a veteran after all, Kerr intends to give Jefferson more rest in the regular season and wait for the playoffs.

At this point, the referee throws the ball into the air.

Giannis Antetokounmpo managed to dial the ball.

Azeli's athleticism still can't match Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The ball goes to Butler.

Iguodala stepped up and gave Giannis Antetokounmpo a cover.

This ball played a simple bull horn tactic.

The ball got into the hands of Giannis Antetokounmpo and got a solo breakaway.

Giannis Antetokounmpo also bullied Azeri for not being able to keep up, and directly forced a breakthrough to complete a layup.

Recently, the scale of blowing penalties for breakthroughs has become stricter, so that Azeri does not dare to make moves behind him, after all, he has lost his position.

It's easy to send 2+1 when you do the action.

If it's a playoff game, you have to take the opponent down even if you lose the position, but it's just a regular season game.

And the opposing coach is still Su Chen, who led them to win the championship last season, there is no need to maliciously foul.

Warriors 0:2 Timberwolves.

Giannis Antetokounmpo opened the game with a layup that was squeezed in with physical gifts, which boosted the team's morale.

They don't have any baggage, after all, they are not favored by the outside world, and no one will be disappointed in them in any way.

On the contrary, if you play a good performance, you will be praised a lot, and your evaluation will rise rapidly.

Not only are the Warriors the defending champions today, but they have also maintained this season thanks to their fluid style of play last season.

Now the popularity of the Warriors is already very high.

Playing well in the face of the Warriors is an extremely face-revealing behavior.

In the first round, the Timberwolves played a tactic, and Kerr looked a little displeased.

But he didn't say anything to the pitch.

After all, the Timberwolves are a rebuilding team, and he has not studied the Timberwolves, and he is not familiar with the Timberwolves' style of play.

If it weren't for watching the other party for Su Chen's sake, Cole wouldn't have wanted to watch a few more videos before the game.

Warriors offensive round.

In the first round of the Warriors, they chose to play a no-ball cover around the pick-and-roll tactic.

Draymond Green picked up the ball near the free-throw line, and it was Lore Deng who defended him.

After all, Lowe Deng's defensive skills are famous, and Draymond Green himself is not good at offense, so he naturally will not challenge Luol Deng.

Draymond Green was watching with the ball.

It's a Curry running a fake cover, but it's actually Thompson running a real off-ball block for a three-pointer.

But after running for a while, neither Curry nor Thompson escaped.

Draymond Green was a little anxious and hurriedly called a change of tactics and asked Curry to play a hand-to-hand hand.

After Curry's hand-to-hand hand, Iguodala, who was defending him, was blocked by Draymond Green, but Lore Deng stepped forward to press Curry's defense.

After Curry dribbled twice in a row, he found that none of them got rid of Lore Deng.

As long as Lore Deng is not the main offense, with his height and arm length, he has a very good defensive shooting.

Moreover, Lore Deng himself is a player who is biased towards defense, and his judgment of defense is rarely wrong.

This kind of single-style dribbling, he may not be able to defend every one, but he can also give a lot of restrictions.

Today's Lore Deng has not degraded much in terms of moving footsteps, and today's Lore Deng is still at the tail of his peak.

Originally, according to Curry's style of play, at this time, he should call another block, and then find an open shot by dribbling.

But when I ran without the ball just now, I wasted too much attacking time.

Curry can't call the ball and must choose to carry Lore Deng's defense, or pass the ball out.

Draymond Green cut in at this point and had already raised his hand for the ball.

Curry took a look at Lowe's obscuring defense, but chose to pass the ball to Draymond Green and cut in a misplaced inside to the outside.

But this inside line is Draymond Green at 1.98m, and Iguodala on the outside is also 1.98m.

Iguodala was very strong and was not pushed out of position against Draymond Green.

Draymond Green's under-the-basket offense, he didn't count as a skill stream, he cut inside to hit Iguodala and was directly pushed by Iguodala.

The whole layup action is deformed.

Draymond Green tried to grab the rebound and play a second offense but also didn't succeed, Iguodala not only single-handedly blocked Draymond Green, but also took the rebound.

After getting the ball, Iguodala went around with a straight back luck.

The ball turned straight into a fast-break opportunity for the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves' fast break will naturally give priority to Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is a tall man, and he rushed into the Warriors' restricted area alone, directly squeezing all the people who the Warriors could return to the basket.

This is mainly due to the fact that the Timberwolves do not have shooter-level players.

But there are no shooters and no shooters, and there are still 3D shooters.

Giannis Antetokounmpo also chose to run the ball directly to Covington, who ran the ball to the baseline.

Covington is very diligent and puts a lot of practice into open threes, and the 10% bonus from the forward allows him to shoot some open threes.

Covington also lived up to the team's trust, receiving the ball in the bottom corner and hitting it steadily.

Warriors 0:5 Timberwolves.

As soon as it started, the Timberwolves scored two goals in a row through tactics and defense.

This made Cole's brow furrow.

But fortunately, next, Curry is not to be outdone.

Relying on his own ability to block and dismantle with Azeri, Giannis Antetokounmpo's change of defense was a little slower, giving Curry a little time and space to shoot.

But Curry relied on his high-speed shooting rhythm and threw the ball straight out.

The ball goes in.

Warriors 3:5 Timberwolves.

Curry also gritted his braces and shook his head in celebration.

After the baptism of the finals and the FMVP award, Curry is now at the peak of his life.

And the next ball, the Timberwolves attracted the defense through Giannis Antetokounmpo's breakaway, and distributed the ball to Lore Deng.

However, Lore Deng didn't feel good about the ball and didn't throw it.

The Warriors had a chance to switch offense and defense.

Curry and Thompson were both near the three-point line, and after Curry received the ball, he attracted the Timberwolves' defense and directly distributed the ball to Brewer, who cut inside the basket.

There was no one in front of Brewer.

Brewer's breakthrough score ratio is still relatively high, and in the face of such an opportunity, Brewer will not let it go.

But just as Brewer made a layup, Giannis Antetokounmpo behind him suddenly appeared.

Bang!

A top board was bumped up, and the ball was directly bummed to the rebound and stopped.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is starting to show his outstanding talent.

Exaggerated arm span as well as explosive bounce!

Brewer was stumbled to the ground by this inertia.

Giannis Antetokounmpo also rushed up to chase and cushioned forward.

However, the ball was picked up by Covington.

The Timberwolves defended the fast-break and got a fast-break opportunity.

Covington threw the ball straight to Iguodala.

The Warriors' two interior lines are still in the second half, and they simply haven't kept up with this fast break, so they are still in the second half.

Lore Deng ran straight to the bottom of the three-point corner, forcing Draymond Green to defend him.

Up front, Iguodala and Butler had a two-on-one Aizeli.

Iguodala caught Aizzel's attention on a breakaway and passed the ball to Butler when Ezeli was already up to block him.

Ezeri was off balance in the air, but still trying to get the ball down.

Honk!

Azeri's action was whistled for a foul.

But at the same time, Butler scored the ball.

2+1！
