Get back on the field.

Su Chen glanced at it, and David Lee was still sitting on the bench.

The Warriors' roster has not been adjusted, and it seems that the Warriors are not going to punish the Timberwolves' interior line.

Su Chen couldn't help but smile, and could only say that it was worthy of Cole.

In his system, the interior is blue-collar and shouldn't take on more offensive work.

Speaking of which, we have to talk about a rookie named Wiseman.

Wiseman is well-known for his void pick-and-roll in the Warriors, but in fact, this kind of thing is not impossible to practice as a professional player.

But Wiseman knows very well that if he does do a good job of blocking, then his career with the Warriors will be set to be a blue-collar worker.

In Kerr's system, there isn't much play on the inside, and even if there are offensive opportunities, it's the outside players who give you.

While the Splash Brothers aren't the type of player who doesn't pass the ball, a lot of the time, their offense is more than playmaking.

The organizational power of the entire Warriors is relatively concentrated in Green's hands.

Thompson doesn't need to say much, he's actually a cake eater, and he takes the ball and pulls out of the ball.

Although Curry has organizational ability, the team's system requires him to attack, and many balls are not that Curry does not pass but that he is used as a tactical endpoint.

Even if Wiseman didn't understand this, his agent did, and he would naturally tell Wiseman.

Wiseman's Warriors career has been almost entirely gambling.

Boss Lacob supports Wiseman, and Cole sees through Wiseman's mind and doesn't want to reuse him.

But even Lacob, at Kerr's insistence, traded away his favorite Wiseman.

"That's good."

Su Chen saw Cole's persistence, and silently praised Cole in his heart.

Although in the playoffs last season, Su Chen did not reuse David Lee, but David Lee's offensive ability cannot be denied.

David Lee hasn't slipped down, he was an All-Star and All-Star last season, he just didn't have the ball.

Originally, this season, it was still Mark Jackson who was coaching, and David Lee was able to average 18 points per game.

This season, the Splash Brothers are starting to play, Curry can average 24 points per game, and Thompson is averaging 18 points per game.

In terms of scoring, David Lee and Thompson are basically the same, but in terms of shooting per game, David Lee averages 1.3 fewer shots per game than Thompson.

But in the original timeline, in Kerr's first season in charge, David Lee became an average of 7.9 points per game.

David Lee's offensive ability has always been on the line, which is almost the number of points he has scored with an average of 6 shots per game, and he is still efficient without his tactical position.

So in fact, if David Lee plays, Su Chen feels that whether this infinite change of defense can still be used or not, it is a bit hanging.

Except for Giannis Antetokounmpo's confidence in David Lee, it is still difficult for other players to misplace to defend David Lee.

Even Lore Deng, who is 2.06 meters tall, although his height and arm span look qualified to defend David Lee, David Lee, as an all-round attacker on the inside, can score the ball even against normal inside.

Luoer Deng was a little reluctant to face David Lee, not to mention that others were small and big to defend David Lee.

But if Cole didn't use it, then Su Chen would have to change his guard fiercely.

Warriors possession.

Curry came up and made a simple run for two screens, only to find that he always had a defender in front of him.

The Timberwolves' infinite speed of switching defenses is currently the fastest in the league, and even in order to pursue the ultimate speed, even Ibaka, who has excellent athleticism, has not been played.

The Warriors really want to run out of position by tactics, and it will be very difficult to face the fastest lineup in the league.

The biggest weakness of infinite change defense is that it is easy to be punished on the inside.

Even if the Timberwolves' current front line size is large enough, they will still be beaten against a team that really has an offensive center.

For example, against the Spurs, you can't expect Covington to switch to the interior to guard Duncan.

But now that Cole has given up playing this weakness, then Cole is uncomfortable.

But Cole wasn't without a little bit of action.

After Curry ran to cover, after swapping the opposing man to Covington, the others pulled away directly for Curry to single.

Covington was on the lookout.

Curry made a breakaway feint after making a back-to-back dribble, and Covington shook it slightly.

Curry didn't hesitate to use the signature Curry-style back luck and then made a quick shot.

Brush!

Timberwolves 2:3 Warriors.

After Curry scored, he shook his head and celebrated, and the momentum of the entire Warriors team was also improved.

Seeing the performance of this defensive round, Su Chen looked a little helpless.

Although Kerr didn't make adjustments to punish the interior, Kerr didn't do nothing, and he caught the defensive weakness of the Timberwolves' lineup.

The biggest weakness of this lineup is Covington.

Even at his peak, Covington is not a top-tier defender on a single defense, he is a super assistant defender and supplement.

During the Trail Blazers era, Covington defended the opposing core almost every game, but he was also blown up most of the time.

If Covington's co-defense ability is S-level, then his single defense ability is basically floating from A to B+

Now that Covington is still a rookie, he lacks defensive experience and may not even be able to reach B+ alone.

It's just an ordinary passing level.

Kerr still has something, and while sticking to his system philosophy, he has found the weakest point of the Timberwolves.

Su Chen, who was on the sidelines, touched his chin, but he had no plans to make adjustments, so he would take a look first.

There is no good solution to the main solution.

Middleton's individual defense ability is also decent, and even inferior to Covington, who is top-notch.

Beverley's individual defense is good enough, but he lacks size to play infinite defense.

Putting Beverley on the court, even without David Lee, allows the Warriors to find an opportunity to easily punish the Timberwolves' interior line.

Changing Ibaka is also not a good solution, and if you put a big man like Ibaka on the field, the speed of changing the defense will decrease.

The Warriors have two all-time shooters, Curry and Thompson, and sometimes they have a little space and can shoot efficiently.

The reason why infinite switching is so difficult to take effect on the Warriors is because it is not efficient enough.

It's the pinnacle of the splash, Curry's super-fast and almost invisible-to-shoot shots, and Thompson's defense-defying top-shot ability.

If you want to really limit this kind of splash movement, you have to go to extreme speed.

was scored by Curry in a heads-up way, and Su Chen felt that it was acceptable.

Covington isn't really a defensive colander, his defensive level is still passable, and he also has an advantage over Curry in size.

Su Chen didn't call for a pause to adjust, just played.

Throughout the first quarter, this rhythm was basically maintained.

On the offensive end of the Timberwolves, they relied on the individual abilities of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler to impact the Warriors' interior line.

The Timberwolves don't have many whistles, but the Timberwolves' current offense is to make it clear that most of the rounds are forced to rush inside.

Butler and Giannis Antetokounmpo rushed inside, and some of the balls were indeed fouled, and it was too much for the Timberwolves to not give a whistle at all.

At the beginning of the game, the referee didn't give much money.

As the Timberwolves gradually fell behind in the score, the Timberwolves still did not change their style of play, but forced to rush.

This makes it difficult for the referee.

Give it, the Timberwolves are a small ball market that the league doesn't like, and the playoff confrontation itself should be bigger.

But don't give it, the new breakout rules have been in place for a season, and it may have some bad effects if you still have to do the same as before.

If this is an ordinary regular season game for the Timberwolves, if you don't blow it, you won't blow it.

However, the ratings of this round of the series are quite high, and the Timberwolves will not change their style of play, and if the whistles that frequently hit the Timberwolves are too few, they will definitely be analyzed for analysis.

After Xiao Hua took office, the new rules promulgated by the league are no longer the kind of confrontation in the previous NBA, and the new rules are more biased towards three-point and breakthrough.

The referee also felt a bit of pressure, so some of the contact that really had fouls, the referee still blew it.

This is why the Timberwolves' score has not been continuously expanded.

As for the Timberwolves' defensive end.

is still a continuation of the infinite change of defense, and the Warriors want Curry to name Covington.

Although Curry scored two in a row at the beginning, Covington was not a fool and changed his defensive strategy after being beaten two in a row.

Regardless, the Covington size is adequate.

And Covington changed to the main defense Curry shot a three-pointer and let Curry break through, which made Curry sometimes forced to score.

As soon as Curry breaks through, the Timberwolves will immediately have someone to defend him.

Then Covington didn't chase Curry, but quickly read the defense on the court, looking for the point of leakage.

Covington's top-level defensive ability was once again on display.

At one point, the Warriors stretched the deficit to 12 points, but after the Timberwolves gradually found a way to defend it, they chased it back.

End of the first session.

Timberwolves 19:25 Warriors.

The Timberwolves chased back to 6 points from a maximum of 12 points through active defense.

For this point difference, Su Chen is still quite satisfied.

After all

Su Chen glanced at the Warriors' bench.

At this time, Curry sat on the bench to rest.

Holding a towel in one hand and Gatorade in the other, he looked very tired.

This is the first verse.

But for Curry's physical fitness, it has reached a very strict test.

With Kerr in the first quarter, Curry frequently named Covington, and Curry spent a lot of physical energy on offense.

Covington's defense, although not very strong, is torturous.

Covington's steal ability is not very good, but he has a lot of steal feints, which makes Curry deal with high intensity all the time.

Cole, who was on the field, actually discovered this scene.

But Cole doesn't seem to have a good way at this time.

He found the weakest point of the Timberwolves lineup, but the Warriors only have Curry, a super heads-up.

Although Thompson also has a strong shooting ability, more often than not, Thompson needs tactical movement to support without the ball.

Since it is without the ball, there is no ability to roll names.

Even if it can be done, it is very cumbersome, and the opponent can find a way to resolve it.

Su Chen was also satisfied when he saw the warrior's appearance.

Turning his head, he looked at Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler, who were also very tired.

Milosevic, who was next to him, looked at the two.

"How's it going, can you hold on?"

Seeing that the two were so tired, Milosevic couldn't help but ask, wanting to see if the two needed to rest.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler were already tired and out of breath, and the answer was naturally half a beat slower.

Before the two of them could speak, Su Chen rushed to answer in advance.

"Giannis and Butler are very physical youngsters, and the game has come to this point, so that's nothing."

Su Chen directly answered Milosevic's words first.

"Right?"

Afterwards, Su Chen also looked at Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler and asked.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler are a little speechless, the head coach has already said this, at this time they answered no, doesn't that mean they are soft?

"No problem."

Butler replied firmly.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, on the other hand, just nodded wearily.

"Cheer up, Curry is tired, and the next thing is for us to blow the horn of the counterattack."

Su Chen also encouraged the team.

This set of sets stunned Milosevic.
