Chapter 317 Be strong when encountering strong forces 3

Fortunately, the Timberwolves had some advantages in other positions in the rotation, so although Curry still maintained a good touch, the point difference was not widened.

Yi Jianlian and LaVine both hit three-pointers from the outside. In this way, Cole's expectations were completely disappointed, so he quickly replaced Curry with Livingston again in order to give the main force a rest.

time.

At 5 minutes and 17 seconds into the second quarter, Cole and Da Zhuang replaced all the main players one after another.

The real confrontation begins from this moment.

After the substitution, the game restarted, and this time the wolves showed their deadly fangs towards the warriors.

Cole, who originally looked very relaxed and confident of winning, completely disappeared within a few minutes and was replaced by a look of anxiety and confusion.

On both the offensive and defensive ends, the Timberwolves were in better shape than they were in the first quarter. Middleton, Dinwiddie and Jokic frequently began to show off their power from the outside.

Middleton even made three consecutive attacks with Thompson hitting three-pointers from the outside.

These three three-pointers also greatly boosted the Timberwolves' morale.

And the most fatal thing for the Warriors is not just that. The most fatal thing is that the Timberwolves' defensive intensity is also the same as his offense. If the first quarter of the game was just an exchange of blows, then after the substitutions, the Warriors'

The offensive wave was directly blocked back as if it hit a dam.

Curry, Thompson and Bogut in the post were successively arranged by the Timberwolves for a hot pot meal.

Under this ebb and flow, the original 6-point difference was quickly smoothed out, and the Timberwolves even surpassed the Warriors by 7 points. After the substitutions, the Timberwolves went on a 13-0 run and gave the Warriors a 13-0 run.

Cole on the sidelines could only quickly call a timeout.

To be honest, he really didn't understand what was going on with his opponent. The tactics on the field were still the same, but the effect was completely different from the first quarter.

If it weren't for the clear score between the two sides on the scoreboard, Cole would have suspected that everything like this was an illusion.

He couldn't figure it out and could only blame it all on the player's sudden state of play.

Cole felt that this phenomenon could not continue forever, so he also hoped to cool down the opponent's hot feel and morale through a timeout.

The Warriors fans in the stands have been cheering for the team.

Even because the team was lagging behind, the volume of the cheers was much louder than before.

Soon the timeout time came and the two sides returned to the court again. At this time, the Timberwolves chose to make substitutions. Yi Jianlian replaced Oden. Da Zhuang also wanted to take advantage of the team's high morale to play well.

Confront each other on the outside.

Back on the court, the game starts again.

The Warriors had the offensive ball, but this time they scored the ball. Brandon missed a three-pointer from the outside, but Bogut seized the opportunity and scored the ball with a tip-in.

Although he missed the outside shot, he still broke the scoring drought.

But when the Timberwolves attacked next, the positioning of the five Timberwolves players on the field made Cole start cursing in his heart.

The Timberwolves once again used a strange offensive tactic. There was no one in the three-second zone inside, and five people were constantly running around the outside and inside without the ball.

Everyone moves quickly, picks and rolls, screens, transitions, mismatches, mismatches, constantly forming mismatches and attracting the Warriors' defensive center of gravity, and then creating space on the outside.

All five players have three points, so there is no way to double-team.

Throughout the second half of the second quarter, none of the Timberwolves' offense hit the paint, and not a single shot was taken from the three-point line. All shots were taken outside the three-point line.

Although this kind of offense is very extreme, and there is no guarantee of rebounds in the inside. After all, the other three-pointers have a shooting percentage, but one thing is very important. The Warriors are also a team that is good at three-pointers. The players on the court are under such pressure.

After being stimulated, I unconsciously began to want to confront the other person.

This is what hurts the Golden State Warriors the most.

Because in this way you completely enter the rhythm of the Timberwolves.

Even Cole's continuous calls for timeouts were not very effective. The Warriors were already playing too hard.

At the end of the second quarter, the score difference between the two sides was widened again, but unlike the end of the first quarter, the leading side at this time had become the Timberwolves.

68 to 53, a full 15 points difference.

When the referee blew the half-time whistle, although the Warriors fans in the stands were still cheering for the Warriors at the top of their lungs and booing the Timberwolves with all their strength, many people heard from the voices of these fans.

I felt something different.

At the beginning of the game, the voices of these fans were full of hope. When the Warriors took the lead and ended the first quarter, the voices of these fans were full of excitement and happiness. But now they are slowly becoming helpless and confused, and even there is still something in them.

Mixed with this is a trace of unwillingness and fear.

"Zhang Zhi, what do you think of this half of the game between the two sides?"

"It can only be said that the Timberwolves played too smart. The Warriors had completely lost their rhythm in the second half of the second quarter, and were led by the Timberwolves, both on the defensive and offensive ends. And this can also

It can be seen that Chen Dazhuang does have his own set of things when it comes to on-the-spot command. Just in terms of on-the-spot command, Cole loses."

"If we win this game, it will really feel like a complete transformation for the Timberwolves. It should be said that the team's self-confidence will be greatly improved in the upcoming schedule."

"Yes, after all, judging from the round record, although the two sides are very close, the Warriors and the Timberwolves are only one game apart, but if the Timberwolves win this game, it means that the Warriors have been double-killed by the Timberwolves this season. This will be a good influence for the future.

When the two sides meet again, whether in the regular season or the playoffs, this psychological advantage will be too great, and it will definitely be a heavy blow to the morale of the Warriors."

After returning to the locker room, both sides also began to prepare for the final half.

The major live broadcast rooms were also intensely discussing the performance of both sides in the first half.

Soon the intermission time came, and the players from both sides returned to the court from the tunnel again. The third quarter of the game also started at the referee's whistle.

The Warriors' offensive possession.

Curry used the screen of his teammates in the frontcourt to complete another three-point shot. The basketball still accurately fell into the basket. Even though the team is currently at a disadvantage and the team's morale has dropped, Curry still maintains his

Very good feel.
