Kerr was arranging the defense, but after setting it up, Kerr felt that something was missing.

The coaches in the league generally follow the rules of several routines, and no matter how they are arranged, they can find the corresponding solutions.

However, this kind of attack in which all the people are soldiers is the most difficult to guard against.

Even the teams that are top in the regular season will still lose to some of the bottom weakers if they play seriously without rest.

Feel is one thing, but more importantly, this weak team is pure and undisciplined.

If there is a team with a core, the opponent's offense must revolve around the core, so your own defense will also revolve around the opponent's core.

Single defense, change defense, early package clip, delay, fake bag clip, anti-ball.

When the opponent has a clear point of attack, there are many ways to limit the opponent's clear point of attack.

The defensive resources of the whole team revolve around the opponent's offensive points.

Just like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler as the clear core, Kerr is slowly finding a way to target.

But just getting used to the rhythm of the Timberwolves, the current Timberwolves suddenly changed again.

It's the kind of everybody who can pick the ball, and that's often the case with the bottom teams in the league.

But the Timberwolves are not a weak team.

The weak team is a role player who picks up the ball, but the Timberwolves' starting set, Lore Deng and Iguodala are still All-Stars in their prime.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler were originally at the heart of the team's offense.

Although Ibaka's efficiency is not very high when he plays the same inside line, if he wants to play misposition, then Ibaka is also very fierce.

The Warriors' roster is too small, and the size doesn't match the Timberwolves, and that's the problem.

But the Splash Brothers are the core of this team, and if the Splash Brothers are replaced, then the Warriors' offense will not have to play.

Pause back.

This time, the Warriors used a double-block tactic to give Curry a chance to shoot one step from beyond the three-point line.

But the ball is too far away, and even though it's Curry's range, it's still more difficult.

After the ball hit the iron, the Warriors quickly returned to defense and did not give the Timberwolves a chance to break quickly.

The Timberwolves found that there was no chance of fast attack at the first time, and they also stabilized and played positional battles.

The Timberwolves had a chance to cover the run by blocking and pick-and-roll, and there was an opportunity for Lore Deng to face Curry.

Lore Deng cut straight inside, took the ball and prepared for a layup.

When Green saw that Curry was out of position and went to the bag to rush in, Lore Deng followed the tactics to find Giannis Antetokounmpo at the free throw line.

Giannis Antetokounmpo didn't even make a shot after taking the ball, and just dribbled to the frame.

Green can limit Giannis Antetokounmpo, but that's when he gets stuck in position early and doesn't let Giannis Antetokounmpo rush up.

Bang!

Giannis Antetokounmpo, who rushed up, was a slam dunk.

Warriors 8:15 Timberwolves.

Kerr didn't call a timeout, although the ball was scored by the Timberwolves and the Warriors' offense didn't come down.

But at least the tactics were right, and this round should be the player's own problem.

The game went on.

Although Kerr rearranged his defensive strategy.

However, it is still only the extra effort on the delay of the pack, which causes the Timberwolves to make occasional mistakes, but it does not prevent the Timberwolves from still having a huge size advantage as long as they rush inside with the ball.

The Timberwolves have a big lead.

However, Su Chen still changed to a rotation lineup in the remaining two and a half minutes of the first quarter.

Beverley, Middleton, Josh three played.

The Warriors are still behind, and Kerr doesn't dare to let the Splash Brothers go down to rest, not even the two interior lines.

Just let Brewer replace Jefferson on the court, and the Warriors' rotation gap at the small forward position is not big.

And the Warriors' interior and guard lines, the gap between starters and benches is huge.

Although David Lee can attack, his defense will make the Warriors fall into a more passive situation.

However, Kerr relied on the rotation of the starters to basically fill up, and chased back a little more.

The first quarter is over.

Warriors 23:32 Timberwolves.

The difference that was once stretched to 13 points has returned to double digits.

Kerr rubbed his eyebrows, if it wasn't for Curry who forced a difficult three-point shot, the Warriors almost continued to pull the score apart just now.

Kerr glanced at Curry, who looked tired, and more tired than before.

Curry's physical fitness is not bad, but he can't stand up to both offensive and defensive ends, and it is a high-intensity consumption.

In order to protect Curry from being fouled too many in advance, Kerr asked the assistant defender to make possible foul moves to help the defense.

But even with that protection, Curry picked up a second foul in the first quarter.

Thompson also received a second foul.

It's really that the opponent sees that his defender is a splash brother and rushes, regardless of whether he can score or not, whether he can cause a foul or not.

In such a situation, no matter how much Kerr protects against fouls, it is inevitable.

In fact, the opponent is so ignorant of the splash, it stands to reason that the Warriors should seize the opportunity to open the score so that the opponent does not dare to make this attempt easily.

But tonight's Timberwolves defended the Warriors on the outside, and even occasionally missed the inside cut, but they were unmoved.

It can be said that it is very firmly implemented.

The Warriors' pass-and-cut system is to drive the threat of inside through three-point shooting.

The Warriors are not a team that has always been open from the inside out, and their inside cut still relies more on the tactical system and plays some baskets that are not difficult.

No matter how good the passing and cutting system is, you can't run out of a completely empty layup for every ball, and many balls still have to face defense.

Most of the Timberwolves are single defenses, but even if they are single defenses, none of these people in the Timberwolves are afraid.

Especially when switching to Ibaka and Giannis Antetokounmpo, the internal defense ability of these two is mostly impossible.

Even if you can't replace these two, the other three have an advantage on the defensive end.

And on the commentary stand on the sidelines, the game was also being discussed.

"The Warriors are passive, the Timberwolves are very determined to attack the interior, and each of them has the ability to rush inside."

"Kerr's protection of Curry and Thompson was good, but excessive protection made them too inefficient at protecting the rim, and the Timberwolves scored 32 points in the first quarter most of the time."

Johnson explained the situation on the field.

"Su Chen is worthy of being the former coach of this Warriors, he knows the Warriors' system too well, the Warriors seem to have succeeded in cutting a lot of balls, but looking at the score, the Warriors only scored 23 points, and if they don't score three points, they basically can't win this game."

Kenny Smith knows the Warriors better and can see the situation the Warriors are in right now.

At the same time, he was also a little disappointed that the warriors he supported actually played such a game.

"The three-point system just didn't find a way to restrain it, and Su Chen, as the founder, is now giving coaches across the league a teaching lesson on how to defend the Warriors' system."

"Hahaha, this guy Su Chen is really interesting, I have to say that he is a bit cool."

Barkley laughed.

"The Warriors both had two fouls in the backcourt, and if they continue to play like this, they won't dare to defend at all."

O'Neill spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders and said.

"If Cole can't figure out a way to turn things around, then after this series, he will become Su Chen's toy in the mouth of the media."

Barkley said with a smile.

And Cole, who was on the bench at this time, was indeed in a hurry.

If you lose this game, or lose it this way, then the Warriors will basically lose this series.

And his personal comments will also be greatly questioned.

Originally, he was under a lot of pressure to accept this defending champion Warriors, and many people were already pointing fingers at him at the beginning of the season.

With the adjusted record sprinting, he finally beat his reputation back.

After making the first round comfortably, he was basically starting to be accepted by Golden State fans.

But Su Chen made all his efforts for a season in this round of the series useless.

The thought of this makes Cole feel a lot of pressure.

But he didn't have a good idea right now.

In such a short period of time, it is difficult to come up with a real way to solve the problem.

There's also the BOX-1 defensive strategy with Beverley to bite Curry, paired with infinite rotation, which makes it harder for Kerr to figure out how to deal with it.

The real problem with this defensive approach is the people who execute the tactics, and the Timberwolves' personnel seems to be a perfect fit for this defensive system.

Kerr has also asked analysts to study that any other team in the league has more or less flaws in using this defensive strategy against the Warriors, but the Timberwolves' staffing is almost perfect with this plan.

Without solving the offensive problem, now Su Chen threw him another defensive problem at him.

There is no clear point of attack, every position can attack, and the attack from each position is above the league level.

Such a configuration is hard to find all over the league, and it is a tactic that the Warriors will hardly face against other teams.

The reason why the Timberwolves' lineup is not favored is because of the lack of stars.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Butler, who are the core, are both newcomers who have not proven themselves, and it is difficult for such a team to be optimistic about them.

But the stars are not enough, but there are many stars who can't stand the Timberwolves.

Although the likes of Lore Deng and Iguodala have become fringe All-Stars, their offensive ability is still there.

Comprehensive and average.

This is just the right way to suppress the Warriors, a team with insufficient backcourt size.

"This is also suppressed, that is also suppressed, he will not rebuild this lineup for the Warriors, right?"

Cole scratched his hair, feeling upset.

Of course, this is just an outlet for Kerr's negative emotions, and he won't really think that Su Chen is really targeting the Warriors to build a lineup.

The game in the second quarter was similar.

The score between the two sides did not open up too much, and the referee gave some face and did not blow too many fouls in the backcourt.

Curry and Thompson are both three-offenders.

The score ended at half-time.

Warriors 50:62 Timberwolves.

The Warriors' starters are still played at a high intensity and to full-court specifications, while the Timberwolves are rotating with a pinch of the table.

Whether the Timberwolves are offensive or defensive, they are still the side with a more physical advantage.

However, it is precisely because of the expansion of the rotation that the Timberwolves did not really pull the score away even if they suppressed the Warriors.

Kerr is now gathering energy and preparing to play the Timberwolves until the final quarter to divide the victory.

Just bite this point difference.

After the physical strength dropped in the last quarter, it was time to fight the star.

With the backcourt of the Splash Brothers, the current star quality is higher than that of the Timberwolves.

The game actually went according to Cole's idea.

As the game progressed, the offensive efficiency of the rest of the Timberwolves began to decline, and the frequent offense of Lore Deng and Iguodala made it difficult for them to maintain their efficiency.

After all, now that they have become the team's main attackers to a certain extent, their offensive intensity problem has been exposed again.

Last season, Iguodala was with the Nuggets and Lore Deng was with the Bulls, and neither of them could really lead the team to win as the main offense.

But the turning point was halfway through the third quarter.

Curry found an opportunity to play the fast break, and when he was about to make a layup inside, Beverley accurately predicted the position and stood early.

Beverly fell to the ground.

Honk!

The whistle blew immediately.

Curry offensive foul!

Curry suddenly held his head with an expression of disbelief, and Kerr on the sidelines was even more furious, yelling at the referee on the sidelines.

There was also boos in the Oracle Arena, with Warriors fans booing the referees and pressuring them.

Originally, according to this rhythm, the Warriors could really wait until the last quarter to play a giant star comeback by relying on the quality of the stars.

But this whistle is different.

Curry had four fouls.

Beverly lay on the ground, fist swinging and roaring.

Lore Deng and Giannis Antetokounmpo trotted over and excitedly pulled Beverley up.

Curry's foul count has a lot of room for operation.

Originally, with the Warriors' protection of Curry on the defensive end, the referee has let go of some whistles that can be blown or not, and it is not easy for the Timberwolves to beat Curry.

However, at this time, the linesman's opinion and the referee's opinion were at odds, and the referee gathered around to discuss the foul.

Not only because of the pressure at this time, but also because of the fact that this ball will affect the trend of this game.

And this game, in turn, will affect the entire series.

The referees are also more serious about this blowing penalty.

Originally, the referee didn't want to blow the whistle, but Beverley's position was so good that it was very obvious from the perspective of the audience that he fell after a head-on impact.

This kind of obvious foul, if not blown, is too much.

But now that the linesman disagrees, the foul will have to be taken seriously.

At this time, the three referees all walked to the technical table, obviously this ball, to watch the replay.

Players on both sides also returned to the bench.

Taking advantage of the replay, Su Chen picked up the tactics and hurriedly talked about the tactics.

When he was on the sidelines just now, Su Chen saw very clearly that Beverley's ball was in a position in advance.

In other words, this ball is probably an offensive foul by Curry.

Well, here's your chance.

The skill of [Explosive Penalty Moment] is used at this time.

Whether it is Curry or Thompson, whoever comes first to the foul count, Su Chen is ready to hit him with explosive penalties at the moment.

Of course, Su Chen didn't use it right away, this skill was only used when he could enter the court.

After all, there is still something to consider, maybe the referee will change the penalty, or Curry will foul this number and Kerr will replace Curry for a rest meeting first.

However, there was still half of the third quarter, and there were not five fouls, and Su Chen felt that Kerr would not replace Curry so easily.
