At this time, Su Chen, who was on the sidelines, made a gesture.

The Timberwolves' defensive formation changed immediately.

Iguodala stepped forward directly to entangle James, while the others put on an iron bucket type of defense.

"The Timberwolves changed to a box-1 defensive formation this round."

Johnson on the commentary podium also saw it.

"Haha, Su Chen really has to use any trick for 20 consecutive wins."

Olney laughed.

At present, the league still uses very little BOX-1 tactics, and it is usually used when facing superstars.

And even if it does, it will only be used in the playoffs.

In fact, the box-1 tactic has become a very common defensive tactic in the small-ball era.

When facing a team led by a few one-core stars, the box-1 strategy is a good way to deal with it.

Because the new rules are very good for three-point and breakthrough offense, it is difficult for ordinary 1v1 defense to really lock the opposition like the old rules, and if you still maintain the previous defensive action, the referee's whistle can make you graduate with six fouls in minutes.

At the same time, in the new era, the bulky center is slowly eliminated.

Those heavy-tonnage interior players can't play in the NBA, but are athletic long-term players who can handle the role of center in the small-ball era.

In the past, the box-1 tactic was rarely used because the lineup was too slow and could not be rotated.

But in the small-ball era, teams have made their rosters faster, so the box-1 strategy won't miss as many threes.

The Timberwolves' lineup, even in the small-ball era, has a top-notch defensive rotation speed.

Not to mention in this day and age.

So even in the face of James, who can crack the box-1 tactic, Su Chen still uses it.

Giannis Antetokounmpo swept near the interior and Covington swept on the outside, both of whom were top-tier co-defenders.

In addition, Wade has not played yet, and he is not afraid of them just by relying on Qian Moss and Bosh Suchen.

James also observed a change in the defensive formation with the ball.

As one of the few players in the past era to have experienced the box-1 defensive formation, James is no stranger to this defensive formation.

He knew very well that Iguodala would not give him a shot, so James made a three-threat shot and then suddenly accelerated.

Guarding this formation, Iguodala can't put James three-pointers, so even though he knows that James may be shaking him, he still can't give James space to shoot.

James didn't need any skills, and when he saw Iguodala give him a breakthrough position, he directly held the ball and squeezed it in.

Like a bulldozer, carrying Iguodala's defense, he rushed inside.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is in charge of sweeping the interior, and when he sees James coming in, he naturally wants to come to the rim.

In the face of the two people's flanks, James directly distributed to the empty Qian Moss.

But the Timberwolves rotated very quickly, and after Moneymos received the ball, Butler had already rushed over.

Butler, who was defending Ray Allen, ran to make up for him, and Chanmos didn't make a move, and immediately distributed the ball to Ray Allen.

It stands to reason that this is basically the time to have an opportunity.

The point where the Heat catch the ball is still Ray Allen, which is the most accurate point for the Heat.

But Covington ran fast and reached for Ray Allen as soon as he received the ball.

Ray Allen has some room to make a move, but it's not empty.

There was no way, Ray Allen could only pass to the original Covington defender Battier.

But Iguodala had already run straight in front of Battier.

Battier was a little embarrassed after receiving the ball, there was no more space on the field at this time, and he did not have the ability to handle the ball.

Giannis Antetokounmpo defends Bosh, and Lore Deng defends James.

Covington knew that Battier, who was already at this age, had no ability to handle the ball, and he was also very relieved to make bold steals, so that Battier was forced to hold it high and not dare to pass it indiscriminately.

James asked for the ball inside, but Battier was blocked from the pass, and he wasn't sure he could pass the ball to James.

At this time, there is very little time to attack.

It was still Ray Allen, who was experienced, and ran directly around the back and received the ball from Battier.

But Ray Allen was also entangled by Covington.

Although Covington's individual defense ability is not top-notch, it is not bad.

Ray Allen received the ball in such a hurry and shot in a hurry, he could still interfere.

Ray Allen is not at his peak after all, and such a difficult ball may not be at his peak.

Clang!

Shoot the iron.

Giannis Antetokounmpo got the rebound, didn't hesitate, and threw it directly to Butler.

Butler was on the fast march early, and only Chanmoss retreated.

In the case of fast break 1v1, Butler withstood the defense of Chanmoss and scored directly into the layup.

Honk!

At the same time, Chanmos really couldn't guard Butler and was forced to foul.

2+1！

Eric Spoelstra was very annoyed on the sidelines and called a timeout.

You know, he's just called a timeout, and now he's called another timeout.

After a while, Eric Spoelstra was stopped by Su Chen in a row.

Eric Spoelstra was actually hesitant, for the sake of his face, he could have looked at it again and called again.

But he also saw it.

Su Chen came prepared, this defensive rotation was so exciting, even as an opponent Eric Spoelstra had to be convinced.

If this timeout is not called, then the Heat will definitely be in a quagmire next.

He didn't expect that Su Chen had already left the Warriors and became a coach on a weak team like the Timberwolves.

However, even when he arrived at the Timberwolves, Su Chen still beat him at the tactical level.

This even left Eric Spoelstra with some self-doubt.

Just like he and Su Chen were two street ball players playing heads-up, Su Chen was a right-handed player and beat him up.

It's not a shame to be too humiliating for you, just practice your skills and then fight back.

But now Su Chen wore a pair of slippers with his left hand, played another heads-up match with him, and beat him again.

This has already taken a blow to Eric Spoelstra's confidence.

He's with a Super Big Three, and there's no reason to look for it.

In past games, the Heat have also been regular guests in the Finals.

Last season's Warriors were actually not very strong, and they were about to be eliminated by the Spurs, and the whole team didn't even have an All-Star except David Lee.

Not to mention the Timberwolves this season, trading players like Lefu Rubio, the Timberwolves are not too much to say that they are rebuilding the team.

But it's the kind of team that has brought the Heat to this point.

The whole Heat team also seemed a little lost, the team atmosphere was not good, and now the team atmosphere is even worse.

There was little communication between teams after the timeout.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves are on the other hand.

Butler made an excited gesture to flex his muscles after playing 2+1, and was cheered and celebrated by his teammates when he entered the bench.

The momentum of both teams is not on the same level.
