NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 104 Five consecutive victories, temporarily ranked first in the Western Conference!

Cole didn't even think about whether McCollum had the ability to pass the ball to Gobert, and whether Gobert had the ability to receive the pass.

Because in Cole's eyes, the emphasis on Su Chen has been raised several levels.

He felt that if Su Chen dared to let Gobert and McCollum play this kind of cooperation, he must be sure.

You can't even pass the ball inside, can you?
In fact, they really don't.

It's not that Gobert can't fit the cake, but he needs tall organizers to feed him the ball, such as Ingles or Li Kell.

To pass the ball to Gobert, you must throw it high.

Because his core strength is relatively weak, if you pass him a relatively low pass, he can't squeeze others.

Just like when Gobert was traded to the Timberwolves, Shuila passed him the ball. The two made frequent mistakes,

Because Shuila itself is not organization-oriented, he is best at passing the ball to the ground. Gobert often loses his grip on this kind of ball.

Gobert's poor core strength is closely related to his buttery hands.

It is precisely because his core strength is weak that he is at a disadvantage in confrontation, which requires more strength from him to maintain the balance of his body, making him even more unstable when he is already smooth.

Su Chen was sitting on the bench, watching the game while taking notes in a notebook.

Mainly about the use of Gobert.

"Giannis could have played a playmaking role for that tall guy who feeds Gobert, but wouldn't it be better to let Giannis do it himself?"

Su Chen wrote something and crossed it out.

Su Chen was in a relatively leisurely state at this time for the five-game winning streak. In fact, he didn't pay much attention to the five-game winning streak.

Finding and solving problems in the regular season is more important than winning or losing a regular season.

There is no doubt that Giannis Antetokounmpo can play the role of feeding Gobert similar to Ingles or Li Kell, but this is really a waste of Giannis Antetokounmpo's physical strength.

When Giannis Antetokounmpo is on the court, his system is to drive the outside three-point shooting space through his threat to the offensive frame.

Instead of feeding Gobert the pie.

Asking Giannis Antetokounmpo to feed Gobert is a very low cost-effective thing.

When the opponent adopts a strong defense against Gobert, Gobert will often dunk and cause fouls, and 2+1 is rarely the case.

Then Gobert's free throw level is so-so. Such an offensive strategy is not cost-effective.

But watching Gobert on the court as a pick-and-roll tool for McCollum's shots is a bit of a waste of Gobert's talent.

In fact, as long as Gobert throws the ball into the sky, he still has a certain threat. His height and arm length can probably cause a foul even if he can't make a dunk.

Gobert can get to the rim, but he can't let Giannis Antetokounmpo feed him.

"So who's going to feed Gobert?"

Su Chen put down his notebook and looked at the Timberwolves' bench.

Josh Smith was wearing long-sleeved training at this time. Knowing that he had no playing time, he didn't even take off his training clothes.

He propped his chin in boredom, watching the game on the field, not knowing what he was thinking.

Speaking of which, last season, Josh Smith was still an all-around striker who averaged 16 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

And in the original season, Josh Smith added more serial roles, averaging nearly 5 assists per game.

"That's right, wouldn't it be just right for Josh to play the role of Ingles or Li Kell?"

When Su Chen saw Josh on the bench, his eyes lit up.

Josh this season is still very young, 28 years old, which is the age of a golden career.

Although for a jumper like Josh, his athletic ability has declined at the age of 28, the Timberwolves didn't originally trade him to be a jumper.

Jumpman already has Giannis Antetokounmpo, and he doesn't need to play the role of flying through the sky and attacking the frame.

Josh Smith's offense is pretty good near the penalty area.

His inside efficiency has always been good, but I don't know why, he is very obsessed with three-pointers and mid-range shots.

The key is that he doesn't have that ability.

Su Chen traded for Josh, and didn't intend to let him go outside to cast.

Even with the ability to increase 10% by the striker's bond, but Josh's three-pointer, adding this ability is useless.

At most, he can complete some mid-range shots.

"We have to let Milosevic transform Josh and let him play with Gobert on the bench."

Su Chen recorded this matter in a small notebook.

Due to McCollum's successive shots on the field, Cole finally couldn't help it and switched back to the main force.

Cole changed, so did Su Chen.

The Timberwolves' main lineup is back on the Warriors' main lineup.

This time the defense against the Warriors was directly changed to an infinite defense system.

Curry's touch this time is good, but every ball is almost a difficult shot.

Even Curry couldn't stand it.

In the first half, Curry's touch was good, but he was full of energy.

Due to the cooperation of Gobert and McCollum, Curry did not get enough rest and was replaced immediately.

Curry's touch and shooting speed have also declined due to the loss of physical strength.

The Timberwolves are different.

Although the Timberwolves consume a lot of physical strength for unlimited defense changes, there are so many Timberwolves.

The current Timberwolves lineup is Giannis Antetokounmpo, Luol Deng, Robert Covington, Andre Iguodala, Jimmy Butler.

But these people can all be replaced.

Middleton, Josh Smith, these two can also switch defenses infinitely.

And it was Beverly who was biting Curry before, which made the Timberwolves' striker team have sufficient physical reserves.

With the rotation of Iguodala and Middleton, Giannis Antetokounmpo can also cooperate with them in the corner position, find his own breakthrough opportunities or create three-point opportunities for the outside.

Because no one in the Warriors can match Giannis Antetokounmpo now, even Draymond Green is only matched in strength, but not in size.

Due to the change of the league rules, the regular season is stricter for breaking through the defense.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's long arms, plus his confrontation now, the 1-meter Draymond Green has no way to block shots.

Many times you have to touch Giannis Antetokounmpo's hand, but touching Giannis Antetokounmpo's hand is easy to be called a foul.

Although Giannis Antetokounmpo's free throw percentage is average now, it has caused foul trouble for the Warriors inside.

After three quarters, both of the Warriors' insiders committed 5 fouls!

How can you defend yourself if you dare not stretch out your hands?
The third quarter is over.

Warriors 78:91 Timberwolves.

The high number of rounds in which the alliance changed the rules has already seen initial results.

Both McCollum and Middleton on the outside feel good today, coupled with Giannis Antetokounmpo's efficient impact on the inside, the Timberwolves scored 91 points in three quarters.

This should be put in the past, this is the score of the whole game.

Although the Warriors are the defending champions this season, due to the change of head coach, the Warriors are actually in a running-in state at the beginning of the game.

Seeing this score, Cole didn't mean to forcefully chase.

In the last quarter, Curry was not played much, so Curry had a good rest.

This is just a regular season after all.

You can't force yourself to compete with Timberwolves just because you say you want to prove that he is better than Su Chen.

Treat both Curry and Thompson like cattle.

In the last quarter, Cole was already training the lineup.

Cole was about to give way to training the lineup. While maintaining a certain score, Su Chen also replaced the main core players to train the lineup.

Little Curry got a chance to appear.

Everyone is still more curious about Curry's younger brother, so they still take it more seriously.

But after watching it for a while, I found that there is still a big gap between his brother and Curry.

The defense is worse than his brother's, and he doesn't have the talent of his brother's shooting at the same time. You can tell just by looking at the shooting speed.

Curry's shooting speed is the textbook shooting style of ordinary shooters in the league, and the speed is naturally normal.

Tonight's little Curry feels so-so, and Su Chen naturally didn't set up any tactics for him in the third team.

But there is no suspense in this game.

The Warriors have already practiced the lineup, so there is nothing to say.

The game is over.

Warriors 100:117 Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves won the victory by 17 points.

At the same time, the Timberwolves also won the opening five consecutive victories!

The Warriors' record is 3 wins and 3 losses. The Warriors' schedule is ahead of the Timberwolves, playing one more game than the Timberwolves.

The 6 Timberwolves scored in double figures in this game, which is a typical team victory.

It's not just Giannis, the Butler double star shines.

The one who scored more off the bench was McCollum, who scored 15 points in this game.

Second only to Giannis and Butler, the two breakthrough double stars.

Cole plays a typical small ball system, and while continuing last season's Warriors championship system, there are also some of Cole's own things.

After all, for Cole, the tactics used by Su Chen are indeed a bit more advanced than him, and he has learned with humility.

But now Su Chen used the brand new tactical system he created to defeat the system he created in the past with his own hands.

This made Cole feel a little unbelievable.

After the game, Cole also took the initiative to shake hands with Su Chen.

"I have learned a lot from this fight with you."

Cole smiled.

It seems that Cole was not disappointed by the loss of this game.

Instead, because of Su Chen's tactics, he saw the weakness of the Warriors.

In the face of this kind of striker and defense system, what should the Warriors do to break the game.

"I only came up with it during the offseason."

Su Chen smiled lightly.

Su Chen didn't care about Cole's learning of his tactics.

Because these things belonged to Cole, he just helped Cole get them back in advance.

Everyone is even.

Cole smiled, then turned and left.

At the same time, the Warriors players also came over to shake hands and hug Su Chen.

The interesting point is that Curry also went to greet his younger brother for a while, but the little Curry was not very interested because he didn't play any good performance tonight.

Curry encouraged his younger brother, and then thanked Su Chen.

As for what to thank, he didn't say it.

Su Chen was taken aback for a moment before realizing it.

It is estimated that Curry chose his younger brother because he thought he was looking at his face.

However, Su Chen did not explain this point.

Although he was selected because of Curry's strength, there is no need to say this clearly. On the contrary, it is not bad to make Curry owe him a favor by misunderstanding.

"Just came the news that the Spurs lost, which means that after the Timberwolves won this game, they will be No. [-] in the Western Conference."

Johnson at the commentary desk said to the crowd.

"It's really funny to say that the Timberwolves team just traded people like Love Rubio, and they achieved this record after rebuilding."

O'Neill said with a smile.

"The Timberwolves can be proud. This group of young people played a youthful storm."

So did Kenny Smith.

"I think the Timberwolves' defensive strategy against the Warriors today can be used as a reference for other teams. This kind of three-point team is so defended that they can't even make a shot."

Barkley is very concerned about this issue.

"Haha, Sir Charles should make an announcement to inform the head coaches of the entire league."

O'Neal laughed.

Everyone knows that Barkley is very upset about winning the championship with the three-point small ball system. Even though he was beaten in the face last season, he still insists on his point of view.

"Even Su Chen, the creator of this system, should be playing other tactics now. Don't all the coaches in the league see it?"

Barkley snorted coldly.

After everyone laughed for a while, they didn't say any more, and prepared to clock in and leave work.

However, they didn't have much reaction to the Spurs' loss.

Because Popovich likes to rest very much, the season has just started, and he started to do it as soon as the results are okay.

Of course, everyone can understand this.

GDP age is now getting bigger and bigger.

At the age of the three Spurs' GDP, they don't need to go through any regular season training. They just need to maintain a good competitive state and prepare for the playoffs.

Moreover, with Leonard's rapid growth, he also needs more players.

The GDP rest can actually allow the young people in the Spurs to get more exercise.

The next day.

The news that the Timberwolves won five consecutive victories and temporarily ranked first in the Western Conference has also become a hot topic.

"After being robbed by other team managers in the offseason, the Timberwolves can start the game and reach the top of the Western Conference. What's going on?"

"I have to say that although Su Chen is not good enough to be the general manager, his coaching level should not be doubted."

"Leading such a group of young people directly overwhelm the defending champion, what kind of coaching level is this?"

"Cole still doesn't understand the system. I don't know what Lacob's expression is now."

"There is a difference between Kerr's coaching level and Su Chen's by Eric Spoelstra."

"That's a good point, even if Eric Spoelstra heard it and wanted to hit someone, the Heat haven't lost this season yet."

"What is the configuration of the Big Three of the Heat, what is the configuration of the Timberwolves, has Eric Spoelstra not been educated enough last season?"

"Blag on Su Chen's saving grace. The season has just started. If you feel good about winning five consecutive victories, you dare to brag like that."
