Chapter 316 Be strong when you encounter strong people 2
The game officially started with the referee's whistle.
The Timberwolves still got the first shot of the opening. As deafening boos rang out in the Oracle Arena, Dinwiddie brought the ball to the frontcourt and then handed the ball to Oden who was stuck in a good position.
Oden, who received the ball outside the three-second zone, hit Bogut with his back. From the Warriors' defensive tactics, it seemed that the Warriors were not prepared to double-team Oden.
As Oden exerted force again and again, it was finally accompanied by a continuous turn and feint, and then a one-handed hook sent the ball into the basket.
From this offense, we can see that the gap between the two is very obvious. Before Oden's continuous feint at his feet was over, Bogut had almost lost his defensive focus.
Next it was the Warriors' turn to attack.
And the result was just as Dazhuang worried before the game started. The Warriors at home were in absolutely great condition. Maybe it was to put enough pressure on the Timberwolves. Maybe it was because the previous two seasons had made the Warriors hold their breath. Curry
Dinwiddie's defense used the time difference created by Green's high pick-and-roll to quickly complete a three-point shot from the outside.
The basketball also passes through the frame very accurately.
This three-pointer also made the audience burst into warm applause and cheers.
In fact, this ball is completely a reflection of Curry's personal ability. The Timberwolves' defense has no problems. Dinwiddie faced Green's pick-and-roll, and other players did a good job in covering up the defense, but they still couldn't stop Curry's three-pointer.
.
This is also the helplessness of other teams facing the Warriors this season.
But then it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, and the Warriors were unable to defend the opponent.
The outside lines of both teams are the kind of teams that use pick-and-roll screens and quick ball transitions to create opportunities. The Timberwolves are even more skillful and perfect than the Warriors in some aspects.
With the continuous pick-and-roll screens, Jokic held the ball outside and faced Thompson's defense more than ten seconds later. After Jokic made a shooting action, he attracted Green's cover-up action, and then Jokic quickly
The ball was sent to Middleton who was left empty in the bottom corner.
He also responded with a three-pointer that passed through the frame.
The back and forth of offense and defense between the two sides at the beginning is like a microcosm of the subsequent game process.
The scores of both sides also increased alternately. Defensively, no one could really limit the other's scoring, and all the starting players of both sides were in very good condition today.
Even when facing Oden in the paint, Bogut was in excellent condition. Even though he was unable to limit Oden on defense, Bogut also played a very good role when the Warriors were attacking.
At 8 minutes and 14 seconds into the first quarter, the Timberwolves chose to make substitutions.
Wright replaced Dinwiddie, and LaVine replaced Middleton.
The two of them faced each other's core scoring points throughout the first quarter, so the consumption was very high. Da Zhuang also hoped to give the two of them time to replenish their physical strength.
The real turning point of the first quarter occurs at this moment.
Cole saw that Dazhuang replaced the two main players in the backcourt, and he also chose to make substitutions. Livingston replaced Curry, and Barnes replaced Brandon.
Cole left Thompson on the court with the very clear intention of using this time to widen the point difference.
And the result did not disappoint Cole.
When Wright faced Livingston, he was overwhelmed in terms of experience and strength.
Because of his collapse at this point, the Timberwolves' defense also began to have problems.
Da Zhuang also shook his head on the sidelines. There was nothing he could do. He was already mentally prepared for this when he replaced Wright.
Next door, we must find a suitable backup point guard before the trade deadline. Although Wright is worth cultivating, it may take a season or two to grow up.
Da Zhuang, who was standing on the sidelines with his brows furrowed, also thought fiercely in his heart.
Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first quarter, and players in other positions, especially LaVine, also noticed the defense on Wright's point, so although they fell behind in score, the point difference was not big.
With the Warriors' final attack, Thompson's outside shot was blocked by Bennett, who had made a good judgment in advance and the ball went out of the sideline. The referee also blew the whistle to end the first quarter.
34 to 28, the Timberwolves trailed the Warriors by 6 points in the first quarter.
Looking at this result, Da Zhuang didn't know whether he should be sad or happy. He was sad because there was some gap with the opponent in terms of actual strength, but Da Zhuang also knew that this gap was the depth of the team's bench at the first position.
, I’m so happy that although I didn’t meet the third condition of the system buff, I at least met the second one.
Then with the support of system buffs, there should be no problems in this game.
Three people are equivalent to three red buff bonuses. If the Warriors still can't be defeated by this, then don't play this season.
Because of the lead, whether it was the Warriors fans in the stands or the Warriors bench on the sidelines, the atmosphere was very cheerful. Even Curry was talking about happy things to Green. The faces of the two people before the game started.
The solemn moment finally turned into joy.
Laugh, take advantage of this opportunity to laugh a little longer, I guess you won’t be able to laugh anymore later, Da Zhuang happened to turn his head and saw this scene on the Warriors’ bench, and he thought to himself.
It will be time for the break soon.
The Timberwolves' big team also arranged the rotation according to the previously planned plan.
Wright, LaVine, Grant, Yi Jianlian and Himes.
On the Warriors side are Curry, Clark, Iguodala, Speights and Ezeli
Seeing that Cole actually arranged for Curry to play, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. He knew Cole's intention, which was just to use this to disrupt his own plan. He also wanted to see if there was any chance to use it by the Timberwolves.
When rotating the lineup, widen the score difference.
Damn it, you really treated me like a soft persimmon.
"What does this guy mean? Does he want to beat us to death with a stick?" Both Mosley and Smith stood beside Da Zhuang.
"He thinks too much. He is so proud now that he will cry miserably later. But to be honest, our No. 1 rotation is indeed a problem. When I go back, I will look for Milt to see if I can find a suitable one.
Now that I'm here, Wright still needs to practice."
"Well, is there anything suitable on the free market right now?"
"Let's take a look. Besides, if it doesn't work out, let's see if there is a suitable trade partner. In short, if it is just Wright, he will become a big trouble in the playoffs this season. In addition, Spencer is under too much pressure.
