Chapter 165: 2-0, Lacob is numb

It's just that the Warriors' passing and cutting system is very dependent on Curry.

Cole wants to use non-Curry methods to solve Su Chen's system, which is very difficult.

In the general rhythm of the game, the team will choose to focus on the inside, and then shoot three-point shots after the inside line plays a containment force.

When the Warriors started playing this system last season, the reason why they encountered so many opposition voices was because the Warriors' system violated this law.

But in fact, the Warriors did not disobey this law, on the contrary, the Warriors implemented this law very well.

The team opened the inside line first, in fact, relying on some stars to impact the inside line.

For example, O'Neal's inside line, or the outside line.

To put it bluntly, the so-called relying on the inside line to open, and then through the inside line to shoot the outside three-point, can be put in another way, that is, to rely on the star to contain the force, and then to shoot the outside three-pointer.

Last season, the Warriors' system actually followed this rule, but the Warriors' star containment was Curry.

Curry relied on his individual ability to contain the opposing defense, and then gave the Warriors more opportunities at the three-point position.

It may seem like the Warriors are shooting threes all the time, but there is a difference.

This is commonly known as the gravitational attraction of the library.

Kerr didn't follow this rule this time, and Curry didn't play a containment force yet, so he went to hit Thompson in advance.

It can't be said that such a strategy is wrong, but it is obviously unbreakable for Su Chen's targeting system.

Although the Warriors have Green to contain Giannis Antetokounmpo, in this game, Su Chen did not let Giannis Antetokounmpo play the main game.

Create a mismatch for Giannis Antetokounmpo, but don't let Giannis Antetokounmpo play, but let him play a defensive pull.

After reading the Warriors' defensive strategy, Su Chen directly replaced Middleton.

At the same time, the [fixed stat value] was not given to Giannis Antetokounmpo, but to Middleton.

Middleton's current ability is still far from 80% of the peak, but the improvement is not big, and the improvement is still there.

Su Chen directly found an opportunity and used [Hot Zone Ignite] on Middleton.

There are not many hot zones in Middleton, and the tactics arranged by Su Chen are all fixed in Middleton's hot zone position, and he didn't react to a wave of sneak attacks on Cole.

Originally, the Warriors' defensive strategy revolved around Giannis Antetokounmpo.

However, Giannis Antetokounmpo directly became a blue-collar worker this time and assisted Middleton.

And Su Chen's arrangement of the three of them in the horn position took Butler down and replaced him with Iguodala.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Middleton, plus Iguodala, are still a big threat from the outside, and the three points of these two are sure as long as the interference is not too big.

Brush!

In the half, with Middleton's three-point shot.

Timberwolves 66:51 Warriors.

In the first half, the Timberwolves played a very dominant offensive and defensive round.

Even in the moment of projection tactics, the trio of Josh, Ibaka and Giannis Antetokounmpo were on the field at the same time.

The fetters of the strikers are directly full!

Relying on the fetters of the forwards and the suppression of the rebounding ability on the court, Su Chen directly arranged the shooting tactics of this game.

Middleton and Iguodala weren't accurate in three-point shooting, but they couldn't stand up to the rebounds in the frontcourt.

Originally, the Warriors' fast break was very strong, but because they lost too many rebounds, Kerr didn't dare to arrange too many people to play the fast break.

Carry out collective protection rebounds.

But this strategy is to make the Warriors have fewer rebounds than the Timberwolves, and at the same time, the fast break is not played.

Cole wanted to do both, but he didn't catch any of them.

In the second half.

In the face of the Timberwolves' still high-intensity defense, the Warriors' offense looked a little chaotic.

The main thing is that they didn't find their touch, and after Su Chen predicted Cole's two pause tactics again through [Eagle Eye], Cole also looked a little confused.

When the entire Warriors were lost in the second half, Kerr didn't come up with any moves, which made the Warriors have no momentum to chase points at all.

At this pace, the Warriors still couldn't catch up with the score.

As the full-time whistle blew.

Timberwolves 123: 108 Warriors.

The Warriors were on the road and received a big defeat.

At the same time, the big score of the series between the two sides became: Timberwolves 2-0 Warriors.

In this game, the Timberwolves played a game where all the people were soldiers.

Giannis Antetokounmpo took the position of the Green Leaf in this game, and he finished with 13 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, which is basically his worst stat in the series.

But if you watch the game, at least Giannis Antetokounmpo's performance can be regarded as having a greater effect on the team.

Iguodala scored 19 points and Middleton scored 20, and the duo's high scores were aided by Giannis Antetokounmpo.

At the same time, Josh, Ibaka, Butler and others also scored in double figures.

For the Warriors, Curry scored 29 points and Thompson scored 33.

The Splash Brothers combined for 62 points, but the others struggled to score in a system of infinite rotations.

Su Chen wonderfully separated the Splash Brothers and the rest of the warriors, if these two couldn't super explode.

Then the other role players of the Warriors will have a hard time helping the team.

This is the defensive effect that Su Chen wants to achieve.

The Splash Brothers can score, but not unlimited.

Then the other role players directly lost the help of the Splash Brothers, and Kerr wanted to play the pass-and-cut system, but he couldn't play at all.

Maybe Kerr will crack such a defensive strategy, but not now.

In this game, Timberwolves owner Taylor was watching from the sidelines.

At this time, this little old man was also very excited, and sometimes he stood up and waved his fist or something.

For Taylor, letting Su Chen take over the team also endured a lot.

People say that the Timberwolves are ruined, Su Chen ruined the future of the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves have no draft picks and no present.

But what about the facts?

Now the Timberwolves have not only entered the playoffs for a long time, but also reached the second round, facing the defending champion Warriors with a direct score of 2-0.

Besides, what if the Timberwolves don't have draft picks?

Giannis and Butler, two young superstars, the Timberwolves' draft picks, are probably worthless.

The teams that traded draft picks with the Timberwolves are losing money at this time.

At the time, they thought that the Timberwolves' record would be terrible, that the Timberwolves' draft pick would be very high, and that the Timberwolves' draft pick value would basically default to the high pick in the offseason.

And in order to make the draft picks look more valuable, Su Chen directly gave up the first few protections, even if it was the champion sign, it was not protected!

After the game, Taylor also walked to the middle of the court excitedly and hugged Su Chen.

"I knew you could do it, and you could do it."

Taylor said excitedly to Su Chen.

"We're only in the second round, so you don't have to be so excited now, let's wait until we get a higher score."

Su Chen didn't expect Taylor to rush in so excitedly, and said helplessly.

In Su Chen's opinion, it is not difficult to defeat the Warriors in the second round, and when he built this lineup, he built a team according to the meaning of the Warriors.

For the team built by the Warriors, if he is eliminated by the Warriors, then he will be too embarrassed, right?

It is said that it is aimed at the Warriors, but it is actually aimed at the situation that the small ball has more advantages under the rules of the league.

There will be more and more teams that follow the Warriors, and they are not aimed at the Warriors, and it is really difficult to have a good time with the current strength of the Warriors.

If you want to rebuild the team next season, you also need to consider the problem of small ball.

Press conference.

"May I ask Coach Su Chen, your team looks like it is easy to face the Warriors, is there any preparation?"

A reporter asked Su Chen.

"Ready, of course, they're the defending champions."

'Their threes are amazing, I know them well and we need to stay focused on the floor and put pressure on every three.

Su Chen first replied jokingly, and then moved on to the question of defense.

But these are some nonsense, and he is not interested in explaining his strategy in front of the media.

Although there will be professionals who will conduct tactical analysis and dismantling, Su Chen will not take the initiative to say it.

Then there's some fixation.

"Curry is a very good player, his three-pointers can change this era, and we can't take him lightly."

"Giannis, I don't think he's sluggish, I always say to the players, as long as you do a good job on the defensive and offensive end, you can see if the basket gives you face."

'Middleton I always knew he had that kind of ability, he worked very hard and I'm proud of him tonight.'

Su Chen also used some official answers to answer all these questions.

However, there is one sentence, Su Chen is also sincere.

Although it is now 2-0, it is still necessary to take it seriously against the Warriors.

You can't say that you're already thinking about your next opponent or something.

Next.

The semi-finals of the East and West have been played twice.

Semifinals in the West.

The Timberwolves and Warriors are currently tied at 2-0, which is a very surprising scoreline.

Before the game, many people thought that the Warriors were the ones who led 2-0, at least 1-1.

After all, from the perspective of optimism, the Warriors are only favored this season by the Heat and the Spurs, and the Heat are in the East.

Then the Warriors can be said to be the second most powerful force in the West.

The Warriors were beaten 2-0, which was a confusing score.

But what is more confusing is not the score, but the process of the two games.

If you want to say that the Timberwolves have delicious dumplings and won two Warriors, there is still something to say.

But after two games, it can be seen that the Timberwolves have pressed the Warriors in both games.

The Warriors are basically on the chasing side.

Chasing points in one game is not a problem, and chasing points in two consecutive games is most likely inferior in strength.

The Warriors' configuration is significantly stronger than that of the Timberwolves.

This season, the Warriors' Splash Brothers both entered the All-Star, and even Green almost voted for the All-Star.

At the same time, the rules of this season have been changed, and the three-point and breakthrough play style has been enhanced.

It stands to reason that the Warriors will only be stronger than last season.

But now that it's like this, the Warriors have to find a reason.

Come to think of it, there has been no change in the configuration of the team, not only has there been no loss of rotation players, but Brewer has also been added.

Although there is no Iguodala, a Brewer in white is not bad, and there is also O'Neal Jr., who has a base salary to vote for.

Since it's not the player's problem, it's only Cole's reason.

A lot of analysis videos and articles, after a video analysis of the two games, it was found that Cole's tactical convenience was purely crushed.

It's not just the conventional tactics, but there are also tactics arranged after the pause, which was directly guessed.

Although many people said that Beverley had good defensive awareness at the beginning, through frame-by-frame analysis, Beverley made a choice without looking at Curry's position at all.

If it is forgotten once or twice, Beverley's many choices are to act rashly without looking at Curry's position.

But Beverly doesn't usually have that habit at all.

And if you have this defensive habit, you will always make mistakes, but Beverley doesn't have those mistakes.

That can only be explained, it was arranged by the coach.

The average player would not dare to make these defensive choices on his own, and given Beverley's status on the team, he would not dare to make such rash choices.

In other words, Su Chen's suppression of Cole is not only a suppression of the usual tactical system.

In the suspended round, Cole was also guessed in advance, which directly allowed Cole's tactics to be guessed.

That's what surprised everyone.

At the same time, everyone has a clearer understanding of the level of Cole and Su Chen.

Especially for Warriors fans.

originally thought that Su Chen's departure would have no loss to the warriors.

The newcomer Kerr and the team ran in quickly, and the Warriors also played a very bright record for a while, and the sprint in the second half of the schedule was also impressive.

There are even many people who feel that Cole is not necessarily weaker than Su Chen, or even stronger than Su Chen.

Su Chen just developed this system, and Cole is the one who really carries forward this system.

Otherwise, why didn't Su Chen play such a tactical system in the new team this season?

But as soon as the two sides touch, the gap is too obvious.

The Timberwolves are a team that is not favored at all, and the team configuration is also some other teams that are ready to give up, as well as some rookies or newcomers.

Such a configuration is obviously weaker than that of the Warriors.

Cole took a big deck of cards and went to play Su Chen's not so good deck, and then was pressed by Su Chen to play.

This disappointed many Warriors fans.

There are even Warriors fans who have scolded Warriors owner Lacob on the push.

"Spicy Chicken, what did you find when you let Su Chen go?"

"I was happy in these two games, Kerr played badly, and I can only say that Su Chen is the real champion coach of this Warriors."

"How about letting Su Chen run the team, look at the Timberwolves, a team that can't make the playoffs, and now they are all pressing us down."

"Hurry up and open a high-salary contract to invite Su Chen back!"

"Su Chen's draft level is really good, Lacob, don't you have any own operation level, why don't you give power to Su Chen?"

"Disappointing team, disappointing coach, disappointing boss."

"I'm really angry with Stephen Clay, they obviously have the strength, but they can't play because of tactical reasons."

Many Warriors fans' remarks about Lacob are also very true.
