When Richard Jefferson came on the court, he whispered to Curry about Kerr's setup.

At this time, the referee had already urged Curry to hurry over and jump the ball.

There is no use of time-outs, and discussing tactics with the players is not allowed by the rules.

Cole made a small move, and the referee didn't see it, but Cole was arranging tactics with the player who didn't play and then letting that player come on the court to convey it.

Seeing that Richard Jefferson was still grinding with Curry there, the referee was immediately unhappy.

Curry nodded and walked over to the referee, ready to jump with Beverley.

Curry was already tired, and his athleticism actually didn't have much of an advantage over Beverley.

In terms of physical fitness, Beverley can still complete actions like dunks, while Curry is the king of dunks.

The difference in physical fitness and physical fitness between the two allowed Curry not to skip Beverley.

Timberwolves ball possession.

The Timberwolves' offense played slowly, with Beverley dribbling across the halfcourt and Giannis Antetokounmpo receiving the ball in the low post.

It was Green who defended Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Kerr saw from the Trail Blazers' game that he used the front to defend Giannis Antetokounmpo.

In the first half, Kerr was still using the interior of Azeri and others to defend Giannis Antetokounmpo at the beginning, but with the interior obviously unable to guard Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Kerr remembered that Batum was defending Giannis Antetokounmpo well, so he asked Green to defend.

Green's power is not at a loss, and his speed is comparable to Giannis Antetokounmpo.

It's fair to say he's better suited than Batum to defend Giannis Antetokounmpo.

For this, Su Chen thought about it from the beginning.

After Cole found out about this, Su Chen changed his strategy.

When Giannis Antetokounmpo was in the low post, Iguodala ran over and played a hand-to-hand tactic that Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler often played.

But there was no Upper Butler, it was Iguodala who carried it out.

Generally speaking, after Butler walks this hand-to-hand, he will rush into the inside.

After reading this defense, Jefferson chose to go and block Iguodala's breakthrough route.

But Giannis Antetokounmpo's first shot was just a fake pass, and after this fake pass, Iguodala ran straight away from beyond the three-point line.

At the same time, Giannis Antetokounmpo's pass also went to Iguodala's hands.

After Iguodala received the ball, Jefferson allowed Iguodala to get a three-point open due to his misjudgment.

Brush!

Iguodala adjusted a little and hit a three-point shot.

Timberwolves 85:85 Warriors.

As soon as the opening period began, the Timberwolves tied the score.

Jefferson patted his chest and signaled that it was his pot.

Everyone knew Jefferson well, knew that he was not a man who made mistakes often, and no one blamed him.

Even Cole didn't say anything on the sidelines.

This hand-to-hand tactic, just now Cole is accustomed to thinking that this ball will be a hand-to-hand inside tactic.

Because Butler's three-point game is inconsistent, Butler rarely runs three-pointers, and I think Iguodala is the same with it.

Iguodala doesn't have a strong presence, and he's not an attacking player on the team.

But his strength is online.

Whether it's his three-point breakthrough defense, he still has the ability of an average star, but he is mostly low-key and hidden in the team's lineup.

Iguodala doesn't have a sense of presence when he doesn't make a move, and he can basically do this when the other party is about to ignore him.

The opponent has no special defenses against Iguodala, so Iguodala is very effective in throwing cold arrows.

Warriors possession.

Curry didn't have the ball, and Beverley still started to consume Curry at halftime, so the ball was sent to veteran Jefferson.

What left Curry speechless was that he didn't take the ball, and Beverley still pestered him.

Basically, Curry's forward route is occupied by Beverley, and if you want to catch the ball, you need to do a free move.

After Jefferson passed halftime, Curry directly handed a hand and walked around behind Jefferson.

And Jefferson also immediately made a pick-and-roll move to block Beverley's pace.

But Jefferson is on the perimeter after all, his pick-and-roll cover is not so tight, and Beverley is still chasing behind Curry like a mad dog.

Covington also made up for it directly, but Curry was prepared and made a direct change of direction.

Curry took advantage of a hand-to-hand cover, and the sudden acceleration passed two people in a row.

Ibaka and Giannis Antetokounmpo both came in at once, leaving only Iguodala to break the ball outside.

Curry found a spot in the middle of the crack.

Thompson was watched tightly by Iguodala, Azeli didn't shoot, and only Green was a big open in the bottom corner.

This season, Green was asked by Kerr to train for three points, and although his three-point shooting rate was not high, he still shot when he should shoot.

After Green received the ball, he aimed at the basket before shooting.

Clang!

But the iron was struck.

Green didn't make the three-pointer and looked a little annoyed.

But now is not time for Green to be frustrated, the ball Warriors are not firm enough on the back, and Azeri and Jefferson want to fight for rebounds.

But there was an Ibaka in their rush route, and Ibaka directly stuck both of them.

Iguodala and Covington defend rebounds inside.

After Iguodala received the rebound, he didn't hesitate and chose to pass it to Giannis Antetokounmpo, who had already run to the halfway line.

Giannis Antetokounmpo received the ball and went straight to the run mode.

Giannis Antetokounmpo pushes the fast break so fast that it's hard to imagine a man the height of a center running faster than a defender.

In such a high-speed run, Giannis Antetokounmpo, even if Thompson has successfully returned to defense, but in the face of such a big guy rushing quickly, Thompson only symbolically stopped.

It's not that he doesn't dare to fight against Giannis Antetokounmpo, it's mainly that the difference in size between the two is large, and Thompson forced himself to defend and easily sent 2+1.

Even Thompson didn't dare to block it, and Giannis Antetokounmpo also strode into a meteor and opened it directly!

Bang!

A gliding dunk that slammed the ball in.

Timberwolves 87:85 Warriors.

This vigorous dunk directly ignited the center of the target.

The momentum of the entire Timberwolves became extremely strong, and the surrounding audience did not hesitate to make the loudest noise.

Such a scene undoubtedly made the adrenaline secretion of the Timberwolves players and made everyone very excited.

Honk!

Cole didn't hesitate any longer and called a timeout.

The opponent has already taken up, and even if nothing is arranged for this pause, it has to be called a timeout to interrupt the opponent's momentum.

Not to mention, now the Warriors are playing too hard against the Timberwolves' BOX-1 defensive formation.

This pause is a must.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was greeted heroically, and his explosive performance not only moved the crowd but also his teammates.

The entire Timberwolves bench was buzzing, with everyone on the bench high-fived and hugged Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Even Butler, who was replaced, did not complain at this time, cheering for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

For Butler, who is hungry for victory, the team can win, and it is okay if he doesn't.

Su Chen directly handed over the tactical board to Milosevic and asked him to arrange the offensive tactics to the players.

Milosevic knew that this was a very strange habit of Su Chen at the beginning of last season, and last season he often asked old assistant coach Ron Adams to help with offensive tactics.

When the offensive tactics were arranged, Su Chen came over to arrange the defensive strategy.

In this season's regular season, there are actually such cases, but there are relatively few of them.

Milosevic didn't ask much, just nodded, took a closer look at the tactical board and walked over to the players.

For Su Chen's behavior, the explanation that Milosevic can come up with is that Su Chen's on-the-spot reaction still needs more time to think about defensive strategies.

Milosevic went to talk to the players about tactics.

Although it was not Su Chen who was talking about tactics that made the players a little unaccustomed, this was not something that had never happened before, and the players were not surprised.

Under such a high-intensity confrontation rhythm, everyone did not pay attention to some inconsequential things, but listened to the tactics carefully.

And Su Chen, who was mixed in the crowd on the bench at this time, was looking at the Warriors bench.

【Hawkeye】Mark Cole's tactical board and activate!

Suddenly, the tactics drawn by Cole were all given to Su Chen at a glance.

"I see."

After seeing Cole's tactical arrangement, Su Chen also closed [Eagle Eye].

Then Su Chen walked over, took the tactical board from Milosevic's hand, and made defensive arrangements for the players.

"Beverley, if the opponent wants to play such a tactic, you hide in the cover group and suddenly rush out to steal."

"From what I know about the Warriors, that's probably how they're going to pass."

Su Chen said to Beverly.

At the same time, on the tactical board, the Warriors' passing routes were drawn.

These are all things he just saw from Cole's tactical board.

For such a ball, Su Chen felt that it would be more suitable for Beverley to execute it.

Beverley himself is sensitive to passing routes, and sometimes he can make some tactical pass tackles through his own judgment.

Now Su Chen directly drew the Warriors' route to Beverley, and for Beverley, this is simply a ball for him.

"I get the coach."

Although Beverley didn't know why Su Chen could guess the Warriors' tactics so confidently, he didn't need to think too much about execution at this time.

He fought so the field, not only for the victory, but also for his value.

And the matter of value is purely to see if the coach gives him a chance, and if the coach doesn't give him a chance, a marginal player like him will soon fade out of the league.

Regardless of whether Su Chen guessed correctly or wrongly, he had to implement Su Chen's tactics, and there were not many other options.

And if Su Chen really guessed correctly, then he would not only be able to get the data of steals, but also launch a fast break to get the data of points or assists.

Such a wonderful shot will also become the top ten goals of the day.

The pause ends.

Both sides returned to the field.

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

Warriors lineup: Jermaine O'Neal (C), Draymond Green (PF), Richard Jefferson (SF), Klay Thompson (SG), Stephen Curry (PG).

The Timberwolves' roster has not changed, but the Warriors' roster has been changed.

Azeri, who played for a long time in this game, was replaced by O'Neill Jr.

O'Neal Jr. joined the Warriors with a base salary this season, just to go to the Warriors to mix a championship, as a former six-time All-Star and a second-team and three-team.

O'Neill Jr. still has some strength this season.

Cole's purpose for O'Neal Jr. at this time is also obvious.

One is that Ezeli didn't play very well tonight, and he played for too long.

The second is that while O'Neal Jr. can complete the task of blocking and dismantling, his ability to protect the frame and offensive ability under the basket are still very important.

Although O'Neal Jr.'s offensive ability is not as good as David Lee's, he still has the ability to punish the forward line for changing defenses.

This is also to prevent the Timberwolves from playing infinite defense again, after all, Kerr's rearranged tactical system is centered on Curry to contain Klay.

Just doing the work of blocking and dismantling, O'Neal Jr. is not necessarily worse than Azeri.

For this substitution, Su Chen was not surprised.

When he activated Hawkeye just now, he saw Cole drawing tactics and pointing at O'Neal Jr. with his pen.

I don't know if I'm going to go to O'Neal Jr.

Therefore, Su Chen has no intention of restarting the infinite change of defense to disrupt the deployment of the Warriors, after all, if O'Neal Jr. changes the defense to Covington on the inside, he will still have a good success rate to fight him.

Warrior Round.

Curry first pretended to catch the ball, and then because of Beverley's entanglement, he still let Jefferson dribble the ball through half court.

In order not to make the Warriors vigilant, Su Chen still asked Beverley to continue to give Curry strength, so that the whole Warriors team felt that they were following Kerr's tactics.

After Jefferson got the ball, he didn't rush to give the ball to Curry, but chose to observe the defense.

Beverley still bit Curry tightly and didn't give Curry a chance to catch the ball.

At this time, Green came around.

Green made a cover for Curry, Curry went around, and Beverley still watched very closely and didn't catch the ball for Curry.

At this time, Jefferson saw that he didn't give Curry a chance to get the ball, but he gave it to Green.

After giving the ball to Green, Jefferson went straight to the left.

There were only Green and Curry in the right half, and at this time, Curry also left the right half and ran towards the left half.

On the left half, the Warriors have done a good job of covering and blocking with a group of tactics.

Looks like it's for Curry.

But at this time, Curry is just pretending to run this cover, he is a cover man instead.

Thompson sprang straight out of the pack like a rocket, and his defender Iguodala was directly blocked.

It's a really good chance, Green thinks.

So, Green passed it unsuspectingly.

But a dark shadow burst out from the path of the pass.
