Kerr remembered Su Chen's fast-break opportunity to directly stop the Timberwolves just now, that is, he made it clear that he wanted every ball and hit Curry by name.

As for Green not changing just now, Kerr didn't blame him too much.

Covington's three-point chance did come out, and as a 3-and-D player, it wasn't wise to go for his three-pointers.

With Cole's ability, it is not impossible to deal with a roll call tactic.

For example, the strategy of resuming after a delay is the defensive system that Kerr uses to deal with roll call tactics.

It's just that the current Cole is still a rookie coach, and he is not very experienced.

Su Chen was a sudden attack, making it difficult for him to guard against it at all.

By the time Kerr recovered, Curry had already committed five fouls.

At this time, there is no hurry to think about what to deal with roll call tactics, no matter what kind of response strategy comes up with, Curry will not be able to play during this time.

Kerr doesn't have much confidence in this game now.

At this moment, the anger on his face looked a little like impotent rage.

The Timberwolves camp is on the rise.

Knock Curry to the fifth foul, and they have a big advantage.

Originally, the Warriors' turnaround point was also defeated.

"We still have to keep the intensity on our defense, and we don't have to go out of our way to foul Thompson, but our defense has to focus on him."

Su Chen took out the tactics board and drew tactics against Thompson at the players.

There is one less Splash Brother, just to deal with one, Su Chen directly chose to use a simple BOX-1.

Curry is still hard to figure out on his own, let alone Thompson.

Thompson had no ball and the ball, and both sent two people to watch him.

Thompson's three-point explosiveness is there, but without Curry's containment, all the defense is on him, and he can't support the entire Warriors.

Pause back.

Warriors lineup: Festus Azeri (C), David Lee (PF), Harrison Barnes (SF), Klay Thompson (SG), Jordan Crawford (PG)

Timberwolves lineup: Sergi Ibaka (C), Giannis Antetokounmpo (PF), Lore Deng (SF), Andre Iguodala (SG), Jimmy Butler (PG)

The Warriors' re-entry lineup, it can be seen that Kerr even came up with David Lee, whom he didn't like very much, in order to attack.

How much offensive pressure the Warriors are on right now.

Jordan Crawford has proven in previous games that he is not a consistent shooter, but Kerr still uses it.

And the Timberwolves are still very chicken thieves, after the roll call tactics, the Timberwolves changed back to their previous starting lineup.

Without Curry for the Warriors, it is equivalent to the Spurs without Duncan, and the Heat without James.

Although the team still has a certain amount of combat effectiveness, everyone else is a supporting role.

These supporting characters are perfect when they are combined with the protagonist, but without the protagonist, it is difficult for these supporting characters to make any waves.

Curry doesn't have six fouls yet, but it's about the same as six.

As long as Curry is on the court, the Timberwolves can go to Curry at any cost, and even if the referee will raise his hand to the foul, he can't always protect it.

Without Curry's containment, although Thompson's accuracy is terrifying, he can still hold down Thompson with the Timberwolves' front size.

As for the others, like what David Lee, Jordan Crawford.

If they want to fight, Su Chen will take a single defense, and it is their ability to score.

If they can really carry the team on offense, they won't be marginalized in the Warriors.

At the end of the third quarter.

Warriors 71:89 Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves entered the final quarter with an 18-point advantage.

At the same time, Thompson also committed a foul just now, and both of the Splash Brothers became big foul players.

In the final quarter of the game, the Warriors needed to chase points.

After not playing for a few minutes, Kerr was replaced with Curry, and if he didn't play again, he was spent.

Next, the Timberwolves made a two-minute impact on the Warriors' interior.

All the balls grabbed Curry's point to rush, and Kerr arranged a cover to defend back, but this missed too many threes.

Although the Timberwolves do not rely on three-point play, their open three-point ability is still above the level.

Protecting Curry in this way made the Warriors miss a lot of three-pointers.

The key is that even in this situation, Lore Deng found an opportunity to beat Curry.

Honk!

With the referee's whistle, Curry also held his head in great annoyance.

In the past three minutes, there have actually been two fouls that the referee did not blow, after all, Curry went to the Warriors and had no point difference.

But the Timberwolves are always looking for trouble, that is, to attack Curry.

There is no way for this referee not to blow all the time.

Curry fouled six.

Compared to the five fouls, Cole's face was angry, and this foul Cole was much calmer.

Because Kerr also knows that the referee can't help it, and there will always be fouls when such frequent impacts.

And because he overprotected Curry, he missed a lot of three-point openings.

As a result, even though Curry hit a good shooting percentage on the court, he actually missed a lot of points, and the difference between the two sides didn't move at all.

The two sides almost played to the end of the game with a 20-point difference.

Su Chen also didn't change the water cooler player in advance, and he had to wait for Cole to change before he made a substitution.

This game made Cole lose his temper.

Doodle!

With the referee's whistle, the game ended.

Warriors 93:115 Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves won a hearty victory on the road.

After winning this game, the big score between the Timberwolves and the Warriors: The Timberwolves 3-1 Warriors.

The Warriors did not take the game to the Battle of Tianwang Mountain, and the 1-3 point difference disappointed the Warriors fans.

What disappointed the fans even more was the performance of the whole game.

It's not so much that one player dominates the game, but the whole game, the Warriors have been led by the nose in terms of strategy and tactics.

Originally, fans still thought that Kerr was an excellent successor to the defending team, but it seemed that it was purely the toy of the previous Warriors coach Su Chen.

Warriors fans don't admit that the Timberwolves dominated the entire series, but Su Chen dominated Kerr.

Originally, such a coach should continue to coach the Warriors.

But it was Lacob who was greedy for power, liked to control the team, and didn't want to believe that Su Chen let Su Chen leave.

There were many fans at the scene, who were very dissatisfied with Lacob and Cole.

They still haven't left the field, and some of them are yelling at Lacob and Cole.

"I originally thought it was a very exciting and fierce game, but Su Chen's strategic victory made this game no longer suspenseful."

Johnson said helplessly.

"When Curry made five fouls, the game was actually over, and Kerr was too slow to respond."

"Whether it is Su Chen's use of roll call tactics, or infinite change of defense, BOX-1"

"Cole knows there, hey man, you're going to have to figure it out."

Even Kenny Smith, who has a good impression of the Warriors, couldn't bear it at this time and directly attacked Kerr.

"Haha, congratulations to the Timberwolves anyway, they won tonight."

"In this series, they're going to control the match point."

Barkley was very happy to see Kenny Smith eating deflated.

"If Kerr continues like this, then the Timberwolves will probably end the series in Minnesota."

O'Neill said with a smile.

The game is over.

The best performance of the Timberwolves tonight is undoubtedly Iguodala.

In this game, Iguodala got 23 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the all-around data.

And Iguodala's ability to frequently roll out Curry at critical moments is crucial to this game, and it can be said that the data does not reflect Iguodala's help to the team.

The MVP of this game is undoubtedly Iguodala.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, who was the core of the team, had a much more mediocre performance in this game, only getting 16 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists.

The team's stats are quite average, and Iguodala is considered high.

Lore Deng, Butler, Ibaka and others all scored in double figures but didn't score much.

The Timberwolves' rotation personnel are basically points, and it can be said that this is a team victory.

This also makes it clear to people.

The Timberwolves do have the problem of insufficient star quality of core players, but the Timberwolves play too many people, which is enough to make up for the problem of the core quality of the Timberwolves.

The core of a team, even in mixed situations, the team can win.

Such a team is the most terrifying.

Conversely, a team needs a core player to get 30 points higher to win.

Then this team is too dependent on stars, and it doesn't have the team strength that a really top team should have.

Now the Timberwolves are tying the Warriors 3-1, and almost every one of them is suppressing.

If G3 hadn't scored too many difficult balls with the Warriors' hands, that game would have been pressed by the Timberwolves.

Most of the time, the Warriors are playing the role of a scorer.

That's telling.

Before the playoffs began, the Warriors were named a top three candidate for the title, which is not an understatement as the defending champions.

But playing like this, too many people didn't expect it.

The Timberwolves are a rebuilding team that not only won the second place in the West in the regular season, but also passed the first round.

Facing the defending champion, he also played such a huge advantage.

It's really impressive.

Warriors on the other side.

At this time, many players were not in a hurry to leave the field from the players' tunnel.

Curry gritted his braces, stuck his waist on the sidelines, and watched the score on the big screen with some unwillingness.

Thompson, on the other hand, kept his head down, and when the team was in trouble, he couldn't step up and help the team turn the tables around.

Green didn't say a word and left straight out of the tunnel tunnel.

Many of the other Warriors were players from last season, and they did the same against the Spurs last season.

But at that time, Su Chen led them to regain their strength and made a shocking comeback.

But Cole, who is now the coach of the team, does not make any moves at this time, or his actions are incompetent and furious.

There is a roar, but I don't know what I am yelling at, and I haven't come up with a real solution to the problem.

Last season, the story of them coming all the way to win the trophy was exciting, but this season it seems that the roles have been reversed.

They became the favored side, but they were counterattacked by the team led by Su Chen.

In addition, O'Neal Jr., who came with a base salary, was also numb at this time.

thought that the Warriors could take him to a championship, so he gave up the opportunity to get the middle class and ran to the base salary to vote.

Now it seems that he picked the wrong team.

Everyone in the Warriors is disappointed, and the defending champions are about to stop in the second round.

The other side.

The Timberwolves' press conference.

"Throughout the series, you're so clear about Kerr's tactics, have you done a lot of analysis?"

A reporter asked Su Chen.

'I just do what I'm supposed to do and leave the rest to the players, the players I trust me and they're all very good.'

Su Chen faced this question and replied with a smile.

Obviously, the media can now see that in the entire series, Su Chen has targeted Cole's tactical system too much.

And these targeted methods basically hit the weakness of the warriors, which makes it difficult for the warriors to counterattack.

Cole got into these troubles, and he hasn't solved anything until now.

In fact, not only these media people, but also industry insiders, even old fans who watch more games can see how much advantage the Timberwolves have taken advantage of tactically.

When it comes to player ability, Curry also contributed a 50-point performance in a single game, which was a gold medal in FMVP last season.

But playing like this, it really allowed Su Chen to use a classic car to win Cole's sports car.

"It's not over yet, the Warriors are a very resilient team, you know, last season, I and the Warriors climbed over the mountains and won the championship."

"They're not easy to deal with, and we can't take them lightly."

Towards the end of the press conference, Su Chen answered this question.

Su Chen's attitude is also nothing to say.

Next.

Regarding this series between the Timberwolves and the Warriors, the media wind is already very skewed.

"Using Su Chen to play the rest of the tactics, Cole paid three losses. 》

"Curry's 50 points are difficult to help the Warriors, the coach is the biggest problem for the Warriors, Kerr may be out of class? 》

Dominance from the Coach! The stats show that after each timeout, Su Chen leads Kerr 71.6% of the rounds. 》

"Relentlessly Crushed! Last season's Warriors won the championship with their coaches. 》

Three-point tactics become mainstream in the league? Su Chen taught a lesson in the small ball era. 》

The whole news trend is basically a criticism of Cole's voice.

The Warriors are now hugely popular, and the Splash Brothers have proven their quality as they play the most entertaining team in the league.

Many analysts are suggesting that the Warriors' playbook is the most efficient under the league's new rules.

But now, as the founder of this system, first of all, he stopped fighting.

Not only does he not fight, but he has already figured out a tactical system to deal with the one he has created.

This makes people feel that Su Chen is too outrageous.

Generally speaking, the players dominate the game and the coach is the supporting role.

But now this series between the Timberwolves and the Warriors is gradually subverting people's concepts.

Looking at it now, Su Chen seems to be the biggest contributor to the Warriors' championship last season.

Lacob just felt that the coach was a supporting role no matter what, so he refused without hesitation when Su Chen asked for power.

It's the kind that is not negotiable.

At the beginning, many people laughed at Su Chen for running away, thinking that Su Chen was too arrogant.

He just happened to meet a strong team and won the championship.

will actually fall out because of the management and the team.

At that time, they all felt that Su Chen, a rising star, had become a meteor.

But the current trend of speech, ridiculing Su Chen is basically gone.

On the contrary, it was Lacob, who was almost ridiculed by the whole network.

let go of Su Chen, and then Su Chen led a rebuilding team to play like this, and it was about to be eliminated.

If the Warriors can't turn the tables around and are really eliminated, Lacob will be a joke in the industry.

San Antonio.

On this night, the Spurs game was going on.

They play a day earlier than the Timberwolves.

Now they have a 3-1 lead against the Thunder.

And in tonight's game, with the Thunder extinguishing the flames, the Thunder was eliminated by the Spurs without resistance.

The Spurs went 4-1 with the Thunder and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

Although everyone was happy after the game, the Spurs did not have that feeling of excitement.

After that trade, the Thunder's strength dropped by more than a star.

The game that the Thunder won relied on the double combination to score 60+ points.

But under the tight defense of the Spurs, Shuangshao did not continue to continue that hot hand.

After the game, Popovich gave a casual interview and walked out of the arena.

After returning home, Popovich did not rest immediately, but took out a notebook from the cabinet.

"The opponent of the West Finals should be that kid."

Popovich flipped through his notebook.

He hadn't opened the notebook for a long time, and the last time he opened it was after the Warriors overturned last season.

In the notebook, some terms and drawings are densely written.

Not to mention the layman, even the insiders may not be able to understand it.

Among them are the special symbols that Popovich is used to.

"However, he doesn't use those tactics anymore."

After a few scans, Popovich closed the notebook again.

He then put the notebook back in the cabinet.

"He can win against the Warriors, and it seems that he not only knows a lot about his own tactics, but he has a new understanding."

Popovich sat on the couch and touched his chin.

Then, Popovich pulled out his phone.

"Su Chen's video should be divided into three phases, one stage when he won 20 consecutive games, and another stage after the trade."

"The third stage is the playoffs, especially against the Warriors."

Popovich spoke to the team's analysts.

Popovich actually cares about these things, though sometimes he doesn't seem to care.

He's a special guy.

After the Grizzlies were on the Spurs that year, Popovich has been very targeted at the Grizzlies.

When you encounter a grizzly bear in the future, you will be beaten violently, and you can sweep as much as you can.

Last season, he was turned over by Su Chen in that situation, although Popovich on the surface never said anything, and he showed no expression when facing Su Chen.

In fact, Popovich has been waiting for an opportunity.

Settle the accounts of last season and Su Chen together this season!
