The King of the NBA

“beep……”

The game is over.

With a score of 117:106, the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors by 11 points and won the first game of the Western Conference finals.

Ning Yi scored a game-high 7 points, plus 8 rebounds, 10 assists; Love scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists; Rubio 10 points, Martin 11 points, Jokic 1 point, Turner scored 1 point and the Timberwolves scored in double figures.

On the Warriors side, Curry had 2 points, rebounds, 5 assists and 5 of 10 3-pointers; Thompson scored 28 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists and 5 of 11 3-pointers.

Strictly speaking, whether it is Curry or Thompson, this play is still good, and it is their inside that really let the Warriors lose.

From the beginning, the Warriors’ inside line was a weakness.

Especially for Bogut, today Bogut only scored 4 points, plus 4 rebounds, but fouled 5 times. His point is almost useless. In the first quarter, Ning Yi played a slacker. Cause the Warriors to fall behind.

Later, the Warriors’ various adjustments were in fact all around the vacancies and backward score adjustments, but there was a problem at the beginning, and then all the remedies were useless.

“The Timberwolves are really strong, and the Rockets are really lucky to be able to play Game 7 with them.” Cole sighed. The Timberwolves are stronger than the Rockets. If Ning Yi was not injured, I am afraid the Rockets could not hit them first. Seven games. Now this powerful opponent has to let their Warriors deal with it.

The game is over.

Ning Yi and Curry hugged each other, then came to the sidelines, hugged McGrady, and smiled at Yao Ming: “Brother Yao, how did you not embarrass you?”

“Of course not, you played well.” Yao Ming smiled and reminded: “But the Warriors are not easy to deal with, you won this game, and it will not be easy to use this strategy to win in the next game. .”

Ning Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled: “Relax, the Warriors are strong offense, but the defense has a big problem. Their advantages are very outstanding, so any team may win. But at the same time their shortcomings are also obvious , So they may lose against any team. But we are very balanced. When we meet, we can only count them out of luck.”

Yao Ming thought for a while and nodded with a smile: “Oh, you are better than me.”

…

A day later, the second game of the Western Conference finals started.

If the first Timberwolves win by strategy and tactics, then the second game is by the stars.

The Warriors made tactical adjustments in this game. Although the inside is still weak, it has not become a loophole as in the first game.

But this still can’t stop the Timberwolves.

Ning Yi watched many Warriors games before crossing. Of course it was on TV. Although not on the spot, he watched the Warriors against so many opponents, including the finals and the Cavaliers. Ning Yi’s understanding of the Warriors and Cole can be said to be no less than that of Adelman’s coach.

In some respects, Ning Yi even had it.

The Warriors’ changes did not surprise him, and Ning Yi had already figured out a way to use his teammates’ pick-and-roll singles Curry continuously, making Curry very helpless.

His height and physical quality are inferior to that of Ning Yi. Although he is active enough and has a good skill in defense, he mainly suffers from the defense.

Every time everyone pulled away, Ning Yi misplaced singles Curry and either directly scored points or attracted the opponent’s bag and then passed the ball to his teammates.

Before Ning Yi crossed, seeing the Cavaliers show up against the Warriors, James did just that. As long as his teammates are strong enough, playing like this is simply unfavorable.

When the Warriors attacked, it was mainly outside shooting.

Today Curry was choked by Ning Yi, and he was very suffocated. On the defensive end, he really couldn’t help Ning Yi, but on the offensive end it was different.

Curry’s scoring ability is very strong, he has a terrible three-pointer, and has a super ability to control the game, the breakthrough ability is not weaker than anyone. Although his physical confrontation, explosiveness, and bouncing are not very good, but his technology makes up for this, so he does not only make three points, if you are afraid of his three points, the post is too up, if you are not careful Will be passed.

Rubio suffered a loss on Curry and was almost exploded by Curry.

Fortunately, Rubio’s three-point shot is still ok, seized the opportunity to return two three-pointers, my heart is considered more balanced.

The Warriors are shooting from outside. They mainly rely on Curry and Thompson to score. When they open, the others can score. If they can’t open, it will be difficult for others to score.

The Timberwolves are mainly Ning Yi, and then Le Fu. The two are inside and outside, which makes the Warriors have a headache.

From the beginning, this game has evolved into a duel between the two players. The Timberwolves cannot prevent Curry and Thompson from scoring, and the Warriors cannot prevent Ning Yi and Love from scoring. The two sides are coming and going, killing each other. Happy

Just halfway through, Ning Yi scored 27 points and Love scored 18 points; the Warriors Curry scored 24 points and Thompson scored 19 points, which is not much worse than that.

However, in terms of score, the Timberwolves took the advantage, leading the Warriors by 9 points at halftime.

“The Timberwolves are peaceful and have Love, but this is not the key. The key is that they are role players and there are too many people who can score.” Cole frowned and his heart was solemn. “Martin, Rubio, Turner, Jokic, Shabats… This is something we don’t have, whether they are outside or inside ~www.mtlnovel.com~ there are enough people, every position is not lacking.”

Cole realized that the real gap between him and the Timberwolves is not a star, nor a strategy or tactic, but a heritage, and an overall strength.

A team with obvious shortcomings and distinct advantages may be invincible in the regular season, but in the playoffs, especially in the Western Conference finals, it can’t be eaten.

Because the regular game is one or two games, that is, home and away, and there will be a period of time, the opponent may not know enough about you, and your advantages are well played, and you can make up for the disadvantages.

But in such an important game in the playoffs, and seven games in a series, the opponent has enough time and energy to study you. In this way, it will be difficult for you to avoid strengths and avoid weaknesses. Your shortcomings will be magnified and targeted by the other party, and may even become the key to your failure.

The Warriors are a classic. They are strong because of their outstanding advantages, explosive scoring ability, and sharp three-pointers. Once they are thrown away, no one can stop them. But the disadvantages are also outstanding. The inside is empty and too dependent on projection. These are all studied and used by the Timberwolves and used as a breakthrough.

This breakthrough is fatal!
