"It looks like a lot of rotation on both sides, but the cores of both teams don't really get much rest, and it's a physical battle between Curry and Giannis."

"In fact, the Warriors have more of an advantage in comparison, and Butler has significantly less rest time than Thompson."

"When the fitness of the two leading stars drops, the performance of these two secondary attackers can really control the trend of the game."

Johnson brings the conversation back to the point.

"I don't expect the Timberwolves to continue this defensive strategy and Curry will take over the game."

Kenny Smith has spoken his mind.

Since last season's playoffs, Kenny Smith has been very concerned about this Warriors team, and Kenny Smith has watched almost every game in the regular season this season.

He already knows Curry very well, so that Curry can really play a team by himself.

Although Curry's athleticism does not seem to explode, in fact, Curry's physical reserves are still quite deep.

In the period when the Warriors needed to make the playoffs, Curry showed his super physical strength, and many times you think he is tired and out of energy, but he can still hit some difficult shots.

That's Curry's individual ability.

"Are you so confident?"

Barkley asked, looking at Kenny Smith with a frown.

"I don't want to list some of Curry's stats in crunch time, but I do want to say that the Timberwolves look like they're making the Warriors' passing system work, but they're underestimating Curry."

"Su Chen should be very aware of Curry's ability, but I don't know why, he would choose this way."

Kenny Smith expressed his doubts.

"In any case, the Warriors' most familiar passing and cutting system can't work, and I don't think Su Chen's strategy is necessarily wrong."

Barkley retorted.

Before the two knew it, they were fighting again.

The two argued that they couldn't come up with a result, and it still depended on the performance of the game.

Soon, the third quarter of the game began.

The Timberwolves still maintain an infinite rotation system, and only when Curry is off the court will the Timberwolves come up with other defensive methods.

The scores of the two teams were not very different.

But in the last minute of the third quarter, Curry suddenly made three three-pointers in a row, directly overtaking the Timberwolves in a wave.

Letting Curry nurture his hand still allowed Curry to find his touch in the long game.

Because of Curry's shooting rate, a lot of the time Curry isn't actually playing against defenders, he's playing against his own touch.

But fortunately, the third quarter was over, and the Timberwolves didn't have to make adjustments to deal with it right away.

With the end of the third quarter.

Timberwolves 82:85 Warriors.

The Warriors, who were originally behind, also overtook the Timberwolves by three points.

This point difference is not a problem, it is a point difference within a round.

But the point is, Curry's hand is raised.

Cutting off the connection between Curry and his teammates, and then letting Curry go head-to-head, is really not very stable.

There are some stars that you can put him in infinite singles, because most of them are two-point plays.

Unless it's a particularly high hit rate, like O'Neal's, there is one to hit one.

The kind that can't let him single.

Most singles, two-point and two-point plays, are actually difficult to take over the game.

But Curry's singles will occupy a lot of three-pointers, and three-pointers will be different.

In addition, under the new rules, three-point and breakthrough are the version of the answer, and the rules will also be more biased towards the attacker of three-point and breakthrough.

The final quarter of the game is the moment when the two teams win or lose.

When he saw Curry carrying the defense and scoring three three-pointers in a row, Su Chen frowned, but he didn't panic.

has always let Curry feel good, and you can't really expect Curry to not find the feel for the whole game.

He chose to defend Curry alone, and he had already thought about this problem.

Although they only led by three points, the atmosphere in the Warriors right now is very exciting, and everyone knows what Curry is capable of.

Curry's three-point shot is up, and it's hard to defend it again.

Cole also smiled slightly, feeling that the game was already in hand.

The Timberwolves should have adjusted next, but Curry got his hands on it, and that was the moment to show that Curry has gravity.

When the Timberwolves need to deploy too many defenders on the outside to defend Curry, then the entire Warriors' passing and cutting system can completely teach the Timberwolves to be humans.

"Curry has found his touch, Su Chen's strategy is wrong, and their chances of winning are getting smaller this time."

Kenny Smith, too, said unceremoniously.

Although the rest of the commentators wanted to say something, Curry just hit three unreasonable three-pointers in a row, all of which were opportunities found by the defender alone.

There is very little room to shoot, so to speak, it is shooting against the defender.

One can be said to be Meng, and two can also be said to be really Meng, but even three really have to admit that this is strength.

The whole Warriors team also believes in Curry.

The Timberwolves fans in the target center are also a little weaker.

When they learned that Su Chen became the coach of the Timberwolves, they had already found a lot of videos of Su Chen coaching the Warriors, and many Wolves fans had seen Curry's three-point power.

There are also a few Warriors fans from Golden State, who are arrogantly getting up to celebrate.

But now that the whole Timberwolves are on the team, they have to believe Su Chen.

That's when the players from both sides entered.

Timberwolves lineup: Sergi Ibaka (C), Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Robert Covington (SF), Andre Iguodala (SG), Patrick Beverley (PG)

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

The scores of the two teams are so tight, it can be said that this is the moment to win or lose.

But the Timberwolves' lineup is a little incomprehensible.

Don't say that the fans and commentators can't understand it, even Cole on the opposite side didn't understand Su Chen's lineup.

What's going on?

He's already on the main lineup, and the Timberwolves are still using the rotation lineup?

Although Butler's three-point difference is a little worse, but Butler, as the team's No. 2 offensive player, really doesn't need to play at this time?

"Don't you need to use Lore Deng and Butler?"

Barkley saw this employment person, and he was numb.

Although Lore Deng's positioning has declined with the Timberwolves, his strength has not declined much, and he is a fairly reliable point when he needs to make a shot.

"I would say Lore Deng is playing well on the field, and as an All-Star caliber player, he can share the offensive pressure of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler."

O'Neill also affirmed Lore Deng.

Such a moment of victory and defeat does not need to be understood by Lore Deng so that O'Neill does not understand.

"Share the offensive pressure on Butler? Where does Butler get the offensive pressure on the bench, hahaha. ”

Kenny Smith laughed.

The two who can be the team's No. 2 offensive and No. 3 offensive players are not on the court, whether Timberwolves fans can't understand it.

"Covington's defense of Curry is very average, Su Chen can't see it, and Beverley's playing time in this game doesn't add up to ten minutes."

"Beverley didn't play well in playing time, so why would Beverley be the point guard in the winning moment?"

Johnson shook his head and said.

As a result of this game, the Timberwolves spent most of their time playing infinite rotation, which left the undersized Beverley with little playing time.

And this season has been going on for so long, everyone basically knows what kind of player Beverley is.

A standard small man 3D who has a presence on the defensive end, but is otherwise ordinary.

As a point guard, Beverley's organizational pass control is simply a failing level, which makes Beverley's value not too high.

Beverley is generally rated low now, because Beverley is a player who seems to be difficult to get along in the league, otherwise the Rockets would not have lost to the Timberwolves so cheaply.

While his defensive ability is okay, his poor passing means he has to play shooting guard if he wants to start.

However, due to his small size, it is difficult for him to defend when others cut into the box, and the back two will drop the overall team height on the field.

If you play as a substitute, this kind of small point guard is very embarrassing because of the lack of ability to steal points.

That is, the Timberwolves, the overall height is enough, and the two forward cores on the offensive end hold the ball to make Beverley look somewhat useful.

Even Timberwolves fans, after seeing Beverley on the court, their eyes were full of doubts.

If this is a Knicks fan, if you can't play with such a person, you have to be ready to boo.

However, Beverley has not been affected by too much outside influence at this time, and from the beginning of his play, his eyes have been on Curry.

It was as if he was going to bite Curry with his eyes.

The game begins.

Players from both sides returned to the pitch.

Green walked to the sideline, and Curry was just on the sideline to get the ball when he saw that Beverley had come over.

After Beverley came over, he didn't talk much nonsense and went directly to Kacurry to catch the ball.

This forced Curry to make an escape move to catch the ball.

Throughout the dribble over half court, Beverley looked at Curry and took a backward approach.

Give a little confrontation from time to time, and then reach out to try to break the ball, but the action is also more conservative to avoid being passed by Curry in one step.

Just over half time, it took Curry six seconds.

Beverley didn't get much playing time throughout the game, and he finally managed to get playing time, and it was in such a win-loss moment.

Beverley was also unsparing.

Beverley never demands himself on his defensive end, and he puts his energy into it every turn.

After Curry passed halftime, Beverley did not retreat, still clinging to Curry.

That's the chance not to give Curry three points.

Curry is also not polite, since Beverley is not defending the shot, then he will break through directly.

Since Curry has been pestered by Beverley, this has made Curry seem a little irritated, so he doesn't read the opposing team's defensive formation.

After breaking through, Covington suddenly arrived.

Covington's top-notch defensive awareness played a role, as he accurately jammed Curry's breakaway lane and stood early.

Curry also hurriedly collected his speed, the opponent had already stopped, and if he rushed over, it would probably be an offensive foul.

As soon as Curry stopped, Beverley got tangled.

Beverley cooperated with Covington and directly locked up Curry.

Curry looked up to find a passing route, but Beverley went directly and ferociously to grab the ball in Curry's hand at this time.

The two scrambled, and both fell to the ground.

Curry was holding the ball tightly, but Beverley's hands were also on the ball to grab it.

Honk!

The referee blows the whistle.

Scrum!

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers in the center of the target.

Curry was also pulled up from the ground by his teammates.

And Beverley, who made this defense, even waited for his teammates to pull him, and he was already excited to stand up.

Compared to Curry, Beverley looks like a beast of madness.

"It's a BOX-1 tactic, at this critical moment, Su Chen gave up the infinite change of defense, and instead used BOX-1 to target Curry!"

Johnson exclaimed.

If it is BOX-1, then it is easy to understand why Su Chen wants to go to Beverley and Covington.

The physical Beverley wore down Curry on a single defense while keeping Covington, who was excellent at helping defense, on the court, and the defensive line of the two men kept most of the league's players out of the way.

Moreover, with the BOX-1 tactic, even if you break through the defensive line of these two people, there are still people behind you who can make up for it.

"So that's the case, Su Chen is so relieved to raise the feeling in the library, he has already calculated it a long time ago!"

Barkley also said with some surprise.

In the last season, Barkley was still very unhappy with Su Chen, but he was slapped in the face by Su Chen in various ways, and now he is also convinced by Su Chen.

Although Barkley is a bit of a big mouth, he can be willing to gamble and lose, and he fulfilled what Da Yao did at the beginning.

Besides, Barkley is not disgusted with Su Chen, but the Warriors' three-point system.

Su Chen doesn't play the three-point system now, so there is no gap between him and Su Chen, but because Su Chen plays the Warriors, he is forced to support Su Chen.

It can be said how aggrieved he was when he was slapped in the face by Su Chen last season, and how cool Barkley is now.

Looking at Kenny Smith, who supports the Warriors, the expression on his face at this time, Barkley is even more happy.

No matter how good Curry's physical reserves are, they are not made of iron.

Cole's original self-confidence has now become ugly.

He thought that Curry had raised his hand and would basically be able to win this game, but Su Chen hid such a hand and directly stunned him.

Beverley's intensity confrontation will still have a big impact on Curry's physical fitness.

Although Beverley himself will pay more physical exertion, but Beverley only played a few minutes in this game, and Curry and him exchanged physical energy.

At the same time, after the BOX-1 tactics were taken out, Curry's newly cultivated feel didn't have much effect.

"We're going to have to switch tactics to Clay right away."

However, Cole was still sober and was immediately thinking about how to break this BOX-1 tactic.

Getting Klay Thompson to break the game is one way.

But Kerr didn't call a timeout right away, but before Curry jumped the ball, while the referees were still having some controversy to discuss.

Call Richard Jefferson from the bench and get him on the court.

At the same time, tell Richard Jefferson how to deal with it, and let him tell Curry to pass the ball first and look for opportunities.

At this time, the veteran who helped the team win the championship last season came into play.
