Chapter 229 The game is getting exciting! (13)
From the distance from the Chase Arena to the parking lot, Cole was sneezing without listening.
"Are they... these little bastards?"
Coach Kerr sneezes again.Then he rubbed his already red nose and said to himself.
Originally, today he planned to lead the team to finish the game and then go back to deal with some housework.
But seeing that the team was so excited at the end of the first half, I had to find a way to let them play like this.
Kerr had changed his mind in the second quarter.
There were a lot of things I had to deal with recently.Whether it's on the team or at home.
In another month, the team will have to think about the playoffs this season in advance!That's right!It's that fast!
These few games made Cole feel more and more powerless, so Walton coached a game ahead.But now he still has a lot of things to worry about.
Getting into his car, Cole started the car and got on the road.
Before this game, Cole saw a piece of news that last season, Coach Kidd controlled the injury rate of their Bucks to the top three in the league!
In other words, the reason why the Bucks won the championship last season has something to do with this.
Looking at the injury control list in the news, their Warriors only ranked 16th last season.
After seeing this news, Kerr felt that it was necessary for him to emulate Milwaukee's style of play last season and control the team's injury rate.
So how to control it?Reduce playing time for some players and try not to appear too high in terms of win rate.
Don't fight too hard for the number of wins.
The opponent in this game, and seeing this news, plus a lot of things around Coach Cole recently.
It made him want to slow down a few games.
Especially facing the Timberwolves with two top picks, Cole directly wants the Warriors to lose this game.
The regular season has only lost one game so far, and it is scary to think about it.
While thinking about what to do next in the car, Cole suddenly found himself distracted!
As soon as I thought of this, the car behind didn't stop, and got into Cole's car abruptly.
Just as soon as a thought came out, Cole was knocked unconscious in the car in the next second!
From the outside, Cole's coupe turned three times in the air before hitting the ground
Another driver: "Coach Koker, my kids are still watching the game between the Warriors and the Timberwolves. Why did you appear on the road?"
Upon seeing this, the middle-aged driver immediately picked up his mobile phone and called the police.He and his kids are big Warriors fans.
Unexpectedly, he bumped into the head coach of the Warriors.
Varejao: "Oh, that's great! It's time to show my thoughts tonight! I actually hope the team can win~"
Varejao, who was on the sidelines, said with bright eyes at this moment.
The players all showed relaxed smiles when they heard that Coach Kerr had something to leave.Including Wharton.
Walton: "The Timberwolves bullied me too much!! The head coach also let go, asking you not to get hurt. This is what you have to do. Leave the rest to me!"
After several players complained about Coach Cole in their hearts, they began to listen carefully to the young coach's assignments.
Walton: "My main thought is only one, that is. Give me a three-pointer!! This is the main thing, and the second is that the defense of the inside players must be in place."
The players on the Timberwolves side need to rest, except for the No. [-] pick in Goji Berry.The rest of the physical fitness has declined significantly.
At this time Garnett greeted his teammates, and then began to warm up.Mitchell assigned tasks to the players by the side.
The media's biggest guess about the Wolf King this season is whether this player will become an assistant coach of the team after retiring.
Garnett's state in the team at this time is that he is the key figure of the team, and at the same time he can patiently explain tactics to them.
It didn't take long for the lineup here to come out. They are Towns, Garnett, Wiggins, LaVine and Jones!
Towns had a technical foul on him.And Martin had already arrived at the hospital by this time.
Wiggins doesn't matter, he can play 48 minutes.The title of "health expert" in the team is not called casually.
Rubio sat off the court with a relaxed face at this time.
The most powerful thing about the Timberwolves this season is that their main lineup and bench lineup are very strong!
This has also become an important factor for the teams to compete for the East and West championships or championships now!
That's the depth of a team's bench!
The lineup of the Warriors is Varejao, Azeri, Barnes, Curry and Livingston in order!
Li Feng continued to rest off the court, and he was not needed until the next game.
For the Warriors' bench players, what they mainly do now is to pass the ball to the main players or role players first.It doesn't matter whether you score or not.
How long you can play with your teammates on the court is what matters.
LaVine held the ball to the frontcourt at this time, and was finally blocked by Curry!Wiggins ran behind him, took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the basketball and dunked directly to score points! !
The Timberwolves fans at the scene immediately became excited!
Garnett on the court made both Varejao and Ezeri tremble.
Although the former wolf king is a little older now.But he is still very tough on the field!
Unlike the gentle and gentle Kevin in the game, when the wolf king is on the field, sometimes his state can be described as brutal!
This is why Timberwolves coach Mitchell is so relieved.
With Garnett checking on the young players of the team, naturally the whole team will become more confident from top to bottom.
Garnett: "Well, what about Wiggins, don't get too entangled with the opponent's Barnes. Towns and I will guard the opponent's inside center and two forward players.
Your main task is to prevent your opponent's long-range three-pointers!
This is something the Warriors are good at.Curry is here, and this player can also double-team! "
Wiggins nodded at this time, then pushed LaVine away and went to defend Curry by himself.
The two then staged a death entanglement!In the end, Curry missed a three-pointer, and Garnett got the rebound and passed the ball to LaVine.The latter hit a three-pointer immediately after halftime without defense!
73:59!The gap between the Warriors and their opponents is even greater at this time.
Under Kevin's check, the Timberwolves' players have also become more cautious.
The two champions also appeared on the field together at this time.
In fact, this made the Warriors fans on the scene feel emotionally broken.
But what they didn't understand was that when the camera panned to Walton's side, they saw that the interim head coach of the Warriors didn't mean to despair at all.
Wharton, who was in a suit and leather shoes, was watching the game very intently.
Confident and handsome appearance, and a figure that has not lost shape after becoming a coach, attracted many female fans to come to watch the game.
Curry: "Why does this team always feel like something is missing"
Mengshen accidentally met Aizeli's eyes, only to realize that it was Green who was missing.And Andre Iguodala on the court.
In last season's game, as long as Green and Iguodala were in the game, he and Thompson felt very stable.
Two forward players with strong confrontation ability, one stop there, the Warriors seem to forget the fact that their center is weak in the game.
There is also Li Feng, and now he is sitting quietly watching the game on the sidelines.
Without these two, it seems that there are two very powerful helpers missing in the game.
Curry held the ball across half court at this time and found that he was being targeted by his opponent.So pass the ball to Varejao.
The latter was directly double-teamed by Wolf King and Downs, and finally lost the ball.Wiggins picked up the basketball, passed Curry and rushed to the frontcourt.
After dealing with Livingston for less than 10 seconds, he dunked again to score points!
Varejao also felt at this time that no one would win if he played the game like this.
Ask Curry for the ball again.The latter looked at him suspiciously for a few seconds, and finally passed the ball over.
Facing Downs' defense, Varejao suddenly possessed the Hollywood actor
Towns immediately received a second technical foul and was sent off. The Timberwolves asked for a timeout.
This pause came a little suddenly.Wharton would have liked a timeout.
It doesn't seem to be necessary now.The teammates all looked at Varejao with approving eyes at this time.
He directly let the opponent's No. [-] center come off the field!
Walton immediately asked Li Feng to warm up on the sidelines, and then he went to sit on the bench after a brief exchange with his team's players.A pair of confident look.
At this time, an assistant coach bent down and covered his mouth with his hands and said something to Wharton.
I saw Wharton, who was still calm just now, stood up directly from the bench! !
Wharton, who found himself reacting a little violently, sat down again.
Wharton: "Who else knows about this?"
The young Wharton immediately turned around and said to the assistant coach just now.
Teaching assistant: "There is no one else. We just know now."
Walton: "You know what I know, that's all. Let's talk about what's going on after the game. Got it?"
Teaching Assistant: "Understood."
Obviously, the appearance of Wharton just now scared the assistant coach.
Wharton: "I like your prank~ Hahahahaha!"
The laughing Walton and the awkwardly smiling assistant made the surrounding players and assistants relax their vigilance.
Wharton's mind was spinning rapidly at this moment.Coach Cole was unconscious in the hospital at this time.
Then Cole won't be able to come to the next game.What about the team?
More than 10 questions that are closely related to the team suddenly popped up in my mind at this time.But Wharton just sat there quietly, looking ahead.
It feels as if he is still concerned about the live game, but he seems a little distracted.
Pause ends.When the fans confirmed that Li Feng was playing, they cheered again!
After seeing Li Feng play, Curry felt a little more relaxed.
75:67!Varejao ran to the sidelines to serve at this time, and Curry carefully went to the frontcourt after receiving his pass.
Not long after Li Feng came back, the point difference had narrowed to less than 10 points.
Judging from this season, veteran Gorgui looks like a low-profile version of Towns in terms of statistics.
Almost all statistics are weaker than Downs.But this player's defense and rebounding ability are still very good.
But now, on the offensive end, the Timberwolves are not that strong.
Without Downs, the main firepower is also concentrated on the outside players.
But obviously the Warriors with Li Feng are very good in terms of game rhythm.
After halftime, Curry used Li Feng's body as a screen, but passed the ball in the air to Varejao, who fouled Gorgui and scored 2+1 again!
At this time, the opponent has not wanted to pause.
And the Warriors fans at the scene are getting more and more crazy!
At this time, the difference between them and their opponents is only 5 points!
Wiggins stepped forward immediately!Hit a three-pointer under the double-team of the Warriors!
At this time, Li Feng slowly dribbled the ball across the half.
LaVine no longer deliberately guards against Li Feng.Because he found that as the game progressed, Li Feng's personal dribbling ability seemed to be increasing rapidly!
In the first two quarters of the game, with Li Feng's state at the time, it was relatively easy for him to defend against the Asian defender.
But now he found that defending Li Feng and breaking the ball is simply impossible!
Li Feng's dribbling speed is still not fast, but he can't catch this guy's trajectory in terms of foot movement and rhythm!
With Curry and Li Feng on the court, the Warriors are also alive!
The Timberwolves found that their opponents suddenly became stronger, and also adopted a conservative style of play.Now they can barely maintain the score difference and not be overtaken by the opponent.
This is also a bottom line for their team coach.
Rubio is back now. With his physical fitness, maybe there will be a decline in his ability in the second half of the fourth quarter.
So as long as the score does not overtake, they will continue to fight each other.
Li Feng, who went to the frontcourt, passed the ball to Barnes, who immediately passed the ball back.
At this time, Curry has settled down in the distance.Received Li Feng's pass and made a direct three-pointer!
Barnes is in pretty good shape today.In addition, the Warriors have Li Feng and Curry on the field.
The Warriors' side suddenly became tricky!
Wiggins came to organize the game at this time.Jones received his pass jumper on the other side and hit the iron with 2 points!
Azeri picks up a rebound.Curry took the pass directly from the side, and then threw the ball hard to Li Feng.
After the latter got the ball, he strode past LaVine directly, and then made a hollow three-point jumper!
Walton was thinking at this time, let the substitute players play for about 2 minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and then replace the main players.
He has already forgotten about Coach Cole.
In any case, let's finish this game first.
At this time, the morale of the Warriors is high.The Timberwolves are without small forward and center Martin.
So far in the game, it is actually the players on the Warriors side who are more advantageous.
First of all, it can be seen from the game that the rhythm of the Forest team has become chaotic.
The players on the field wait for a timeout.But the pause was long overdue.
There are several reasons for their confusion.For example, the pace of the Warriors' game in the third quarter suddenly became much faster!
What's more, Varejao is a player who will foul his players at every turn.
Garnett successfully beat Azeri at this time!Then the ball is scored.The scores of the two teams have been stalemate.
In the eyes of the fans, the game has begun to become exciting!
