Chapter 163: The big score is 1-0
Thompson had already prepared the ball in advance, but the ball did not reach the designated place according to the tactical run.
As the receiver, Thompson was the first to see who the dark shadow was.
Beverley!
As if he had already judged this passing route, he gave up his defender and rushed out.
Green also felt incredible.
You know, Beverley's defender is Curry!
In this game, the Timberwolves defended Curry for a whole game, and even used BOX-1 to defend Curry.
Before the timeout, Curry had more than two defenders on the lookout, and even when Curry broke in, five people were drawn in Curry's direction.
Curry's appeal has been hit.
Besides, even if Curry hasn't made a pitch yet, even with Curry's current name, it should attract two defenders.
But the focus of the Timberwolves' attention now has become Thompson.
And Beverley still gave up defending Curry to make this steal, which is outrageous.
After Beverley grabbed the ball, he was in a sprint form.
Even if Thompson reacts at the first time, he needs to have a starting process to run back and forth.
Beverley's athleticism is superb, and he wasn't trusted by NBA teams before, nor because of his lack of athleticism.
Beverley doesn't have enough dribbling to get a foothold in the NBA, poor playmaking and poor offensive ability, which is enough for a player on the undersized side to make the team lose interest in him.
But his athleticism isn't, his athleticism isn't top-of-the-line or upper-average.
Thompson, who needed to get up to speed, didn't catch up with Beverley.
Faced with an empty basket, Beverley opted for an empty basket to go up.
He doesn't need to show his dunk ability, he's not good at it himself, he just has to focus on the defensive end.
Timberwolves 89:85 Warriors.
After Beverley made a layup, Green and Thompson arrived.
Thompson was a little dissatisfied, and gave Green a puzzled expression, which meant obviously.
Have you seen people still pass it on?
Green knew the ball was his, but he also had a hard time.
First of all, he played according to the tactics, and secondly, Beverley's surprise attack was very hidden, plus there was Curry's attraction so he didn't think too much about it.
But Green knew that at this point, there was no point in arguing with his teammates.
Green patted his chest and motioned for the ball to be his.
Thompson wasn't the kind of person who chattered either, and he didn't say anything else when he saw Green like that.
"Focus!"
Cole was on the sidelines, shouting into the sidelines.
But he has nothing to blame for the players, this tactic is the tactic he arranged, Green and Thompson no matter who makes a mistake, they are running according to the tactics and not running around.
So it can only make the players more serious.
After Cole said that, he crossed his hands in front of his chest and took two steps in place with some irritation.
He looked at Timberwolves Beverley, and then at Su Chen.
"I don't know if it was Beverley's player's own judgment or if the guy guessed it."
Cole thought with some annoyance.
If it were Beverley's own judgment, then this player could cause a lot of trouble for the Warriors throughout the series.
But if it was Su Chen who predicted his tactics, then it was Su Chen who saw him through, which was more difficult for Kerr to play in this series.
For Su Chen's prediction of his tactics, Cole was not incomprehensible.
To be honest, this season's Warriors' record can rush to third in the West in one go, and he largely refers to Su Chen's tactics.
Although he also knows these tactics himself, Su Chen's tactical system is obviously much more mature than him.
At the start of the season, the Warriors had a poor record.
There are reasons for running-in, and there are also reasons for him to use his own tactics, and the results are also immediate after he let go of his prejudices and began to use Su Chen's tactics.
Warriors offensive round.
Cole was a little nervous, as the second round he set up was also a gaggle (group) tactic.
And this tactic is a tactic that Su Chen used a lot in the playoffs last season.
It was Curry and Thompson who went inside to make a crossover run, then double-screened and pick-and-roll, with Green dealing a card to pick an opportunity point.
This ball is indeed running according to tactics.
After Green got the ball, Curry and Thompson made a baseline cross run.
Curry is a cover fake run, and the real point is Thompson.
After the ball was cross-covered, the Timberwolves' defense directly switched defenses, and Beverley, who defended Curry, directly switched to defend Thompson.
In order to prevent the situation in the previous round, Green added a little pass advance.
Beverley couldn't steal the ball, but it was harder for Thompson to catch it.
Thompson didn't know that Green was going to pass like this, and without preparation, he didn't catch the ball steadily.
Beverley didn't steal the pass, but according to Su Chen's arrangement, he didn't defend Thompson's front at all.
It looked like Thompson was ahead of Beverley, but he barely managed to squeeze half a body out.
When Thompson didn't catch it, he was directly bitten by Beverley's defense, and the ball came out of his hand.
In order to fight for the ball, Thompson jumped in the direction of the ball, trying to protect the ball.
However, when he made such a jump, he did not control the ball at the first time, but made him lose his center of gravity and could not continue to fight for the ball.
Beverley stood firm, the ball was in mid-air, and was directly snatched by Beverley.
Beverley grabbed the ball and launched a fast break.
The last ball Green was slow to react, and this ball Green saw that Thompson did not catch the ball steadily, so he carried out a slow retreat in advance.
Green defended successfully.
But Iguodala followed suit.
Beverley lunged towards the basket, drew Green's defense, and passed straight to Iguodala.
After Iguodala received the ball, Green didn't even turn around and stand up before he saw that Iguodala had already flown and dunked.
Bang!
Iguodala made a misplaced dunk and directly blocked Green.
When Green thought that he was going to be sucked, he pulled Iguodala with his hand, but Iguodala's core strength was not bad, and such a simple pull did not interfere much with him.
Honk!
Green's action of reaching out and pulling was also caught by the referee.
It's a 2+1!
Iguodala walked to the free throw line and hit the free throw safely.
Timberwolves 92:85 Warriors.
Kerr was beaten 5-0 in two rounds after he took the initiative to call a timeout and set up his tactics.
It's incredible.
After Iguodala scored, cheers rang out in the target center.
Beverley looked very excited, and it was his two key defenses that played this 5-0.
Honk!
Cole knew it was his tactics that had been seen through.
Quickly called a short timeout.
In a short period of time, the Warriors were stopped twice in a row and looked very passive.
The atmosphere of the whole warrior is also a little depressing.
Thompson also communicated with Green just now, and after this round, Thompson ignored Green.
The two, as Curry's main helpers, have not communicated at this time, and it is obvious that they have some negative emotions about the game.
Even Cole did not immediately go to the players to arrange tactics at this time, but discussed something with the two assistant coaches.
As the coach of the team, the tactics arranged by the opponent have been cracked continuously, which is a blow to the confidence of the whole team.
"It's crazy, Beverley, and I love that guy's defense."
O'Neill, who was on the commentary stage, couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart.
"In previous games, I thought that guy just had excellent individual defense, but he didn't just defend Curry but also defended the whole Warriors team."
Barkley was also in a good mood at this time, he was unhappy with the Warriors' three-point play, and Barkley made no secret of his opinion.
"Beverly? I think this is the team's tactical arrangement, no matter how bold he is, can he really give up Curry to defend Thompson? ”
"If he made this choice, either he would be a master tactician, or he would be an irresponsible defender."
Kenny Smith, who has watched the Warriors a lot, has a different view at this time.
With his knowledge of the Warriors and Curry, Curry is a point that the Warriors can't put on.
When the Timberwolves used infinite to change defenses before, he said that it is not a wise strategy to use a single defense to defend Curry.
After Curry's hand was raised, it really proved that Curry is not a player who can defend himself like this.
If it weren't for Su Chen's arrangement of BOX-1 to deal with it, Curry, who had an explosive hand, would have been able to take over the game directly.
Now Beverley has made the decision to let go of Curry to defend Thompson, which is a very outrageous defensive choice.
"You mean to say that Su Chen saw through the Warriors' tactics, so Beverley made that choice?"
Johnson thought for a moment and then asked Kenny Smith.
Barkley and O'Neill also fell into thought after hearing this.
They are also professional, but the picture just now makes people adrenaline-pumping, and some details are ignored under emotion.
"The two tactics arranged by Kerr were both commonly used by Su Chen in the Warriors last season, and Kerr used them directly because Su Chen guessed them."
"He should have let Beverley watch some footage and familiarize himself with these tactics of the Warriors, after all, he is the founder of these tactics, how can Kerr have his understanding?"
Kenny Smith went on to explain.
With such an explanation, several people also understood.
"Su Chen is telling Cole that he can create these tactics and crack them?"
"This behavior is so cool, this guy has a bit of a handsome demeanor."
After O'Neill understood, he also said in surprise.
"It seems that the three-point system is just one of his arsenals, and the three-point system is not the best system in the league, Su Chen is telling the whole league this with the Timberwolves with a more civilian lineup."
Barkley also took the opportunity to belittle the three-point system, and this was the founder himself to show how to crack it.
"Sir Charles, what do you think, it's just because Su Chen knows too well, and other coaches can't prevent the essence of these defensive methods."
Seeing Barkley step on the three-point system, Kenny Smith also retorted.
The two argued this sentence by themselves, but the timeout was only a short timeout.
When Su Chen was paused, he used [Eagle Eye] to look at Cole's tactical board again.
The continuous use of the [Eagle Eye] skill made Su Chen seem a little mentally ill, and he did not stand on the sidelines but sat on the bench.
The reason why I chose to use it continuously was to knock down the warriors in one wave.
It is not possible to break down the Warriors in a wave at the beginning, because the Warriors are chasing points too quickly, and the players have two mentalities when the score is chasing and when the score is kept.
When the score is ahead, the player wants to play slow and have a success rate.
The side behind the score will be more decisive, especially in the choice of three-point shots.
The three-point chase is too fierce, and 20 points is not a stable score.
But that's no longer the case.
At such a moment, Curry's physical strength has been consumed for more than three quarters, and it is also limited by BOX-1.
Thompson originally wanted to come out and take over the game, but Thompson's tactics were continuously guessed and targeted, which made Thompson discouraged before he even began to find his touch.
The tactics that Cole laid out next were relatively conservative.
The points of choice are not all on Thompson, so that Curry can also run without the ball, and there is a chance to make the ball for Curry.
However, in the case of Su Chen's continuous use of [Eagle Eye], Cole's arrangement was seen through.
While the overly conservative passes kept the Timberwolves from getting a direct chance to steal the pass, these overly conservative passes also made the Warriors have fewer opportunities.
Often, when the time for the attack is almost up, a forced shot is hurriedly made.
Such a hit rate is naturally low.
Su Chen knew Cole's offensive tactical arrangement, and he also knew the focus of Cole's defense.
Middleton also came off the bench to play some outside and mid-range offense.
In such a situation, the score of the Warriors was slowly stretched.
And the whole warrior has a feeling of being deflated.
Curry couldn't help it, and even under the strict defense of BOX-1, he wanted to break it with a strong attack.
But with Beverley's BOX-1, Curry wanted to carry the two to shoot those balls, and it was too difficult.
The two teams maintained a point difference of more than 10 points, and the Warriors did not catch up by the end of the game.
Even the free throw impact tactics that Su Chen had prepared had not been used yet.
"The moment of the explosion seems to be used again."
Su Chen saw the game scene and smiled slightly in his heart.
The target center arena rang out with the sound of the end of the game.
Timberwolves 112:101 Warriors.
Although Thompson made consecutive three-pointers through opportunities, the score was too wide, and the Warriors' role players did not step up.
The Timberwolves got this game with a lot of attention at home.
Big score: Timberwolves 1-0 Warriors.
At the same time, it also gave the Timberwolves a lead over the Warriors in the second round of the playoffs.
