Chapter 326 The Intensity of the Playoffs

Due to Leonard's offensive foul, the ball was switched and the Timberwolves got the ball.

Ruby's Olympic ball came over and organized the offense at the top of the arc.

Shou Ye came out to catch the ball, then handed Kevin Martin a hand.

The Spurs' perimeter defense is the top in the league, and even Parker is a defensive champion at the No. 1 position in the league.

Facing the Spurs' outside defense in the playoffs, it was really difficult for the Timberwolves' two wing players to score one-on-one, how powerless they seemed.

The ball returned to Shou Ye's hands.

Shou Ye held the ball and hit Split again.

Continuous cross dribbles under the crotch, Shou Ye walked in with the ball, and worshiped Buddha near the free throw line!

Splitter thought he was about to take another mid-range shot and jumped up, but it was a feint!

Shou Ye went straight to the basket, facing the sluggish defense, made a high throw-the ball was scored!

Shou Ye made 3 of 3 shots and the Timberwolves led 6:0!

The Spurs did not take a timeout and the game continued.

Yu Jia sighed: "Shou Ye's action just now, I can't believe he is a center forward! This is completely a defender's action!"

Su Qun said with a smile: "It's not been a day or two since Shou Ye played as a defender. He usually doesn't play so much in singles, but today Popovich obviously wants him to play in singles and not give him a chance to pass the ball. Unexpectedly He's been playing in the mid-range, not shooting the 3, not going to the basket."

Shou Ye knew the Spurs very well in his previous life. The Spurs' defensive style has always been to control the 3-pointer and the penalty area. They don't give you a chance in the middle, let you go to the side, and then fill up the position near the penalty area.

This defensive strategy is naturally not very friendly to breakthrough players and 3-point shooters, but it is easy to be hit by mid-range masters.Kobe is awesome every time he plays the Spurs, while O'Neal seems to be struggling, and that's why.

Popovich also thought that Shou Ye would shoot 3-pointers, and thought he would hit the basket, so he deployed heavy forces outside the 3-point line and under the basket, but who knew that he suddenly chose to play singles in the middle distance.

Here, Parker borrowed Splitter's cover, walked in with the ball, and then hit the ground to Splitter who was running down!

Love was directly confused by the pick-and-roll and lost his position!

Shouye's basket is one defense and two defenses, so he can only make up for Split who rushed in first!

Split passed the ball to Daidai at the basket, who caught the ball and it was a standing windmill... no, but a good dunk!

6:2, the Spurs also scored!

Ruby's Olympic ball came over and was given to Love.

Love slammed Splitter in a low position, turned over and was covered!

But Love grabbed the ball, continued to forcefully roll, turned around to the penalty area, forced a layup and was served by the hot pot!

Shou Ye grabbed the ball, forced a charge, and was blocked by Split behind him!

Before the ball went out of bounds, Shou Ye snatched the ball back, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and slammed into the second man of the Spurs. He stood up forcibly and caused Split to foul!

Shou Ye will go to the free throw line!

Yu Jia sighed: "This is the intensity of the playoffs! When did Duncan play like this in the regular season!"

Su Qun said: "Shou Ye really wanted to win. He played very resolutely after the start."

At this time, the Spurs requested a timeout.

Popovich called a timeout very casually. You thought he was going to call, but he didn't.You thought he would not bark, but he barked instead.

The Spurs asked Splitter to defend Shou Ye at the beginning of the game and did not allow Duncan to defend. Obviously, they were protecting Duncan and preventing Duncan from consuming too much energy in the confrontation with Shou Ye.

In Popovich's playbook for the series, Shou Ye's threat far exceeds Love's.Don't look at Love's 20+10 in the regular season, but Shou Ye is obviously a head higher in terms of offensive grasp and efficiency.

Back from the timeout, Shou Ye walked to the free throw line.

Shou Ye steadily made two free throws, and the Timberwolves led 8:2!

Shouba scored all 8 points of the Timberwolves start!

Although the score was behind, the Spurs were not impatient at all, and they still ran tactics step by step and cooperated.This team is as precise and regular as a machine. This season's offense and defense are also smooth, and the overall strength is extremely strong.

Kevin Martin has breathed a sigh of relief since the beginning of the game. Finally, the opponent's No. 2 position no longer ravages him.The Spurs' No. 2 position is Tielin, and Tielin's tactical system in the team is to open up space and shoot, and he has no role in attacking with the ball.And he has never been a player with outstanding ball handling ability.His ball-handling ability may also be one of the worst starting 2 positions in the entire league, or even none.

Kevin Martin breathed a sigh of relief, but Claude couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, because Parker had been looking for Splitter's pick-and-roll, which was aimed at him.

Parker is different from Rubio in that his pull-up 3-pointers are also mediocre, but he has the mid-distance ability of emergency stop that is rare among the No. 1 positions in the league.

So once Love chooses to shrink back, Parker will use the murderous mid-range to serve.

Once Love pinches him, he passes the ball down to Splitter to attack the rim.

It's even better if you switch defenses. There are many ways for the old French sports car to use Love.Even though the sports car has almost become a classic car, in front of Love, who moves slower than the big center, he is still a brand new sports car.

Here, Parker used a pick-and-roll to make a mid-range hit, and the score became 8:4!

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack. This time, the Spurs no longer let Splitter defend Shou Ye one-on-one. They joined in a pinch attack.

In order to help defend Shou Ye, the Spurs chose to empty Rubio's 3-pointer and selectively empty Brewer's 3-pointer.

Although the Timberwolves have a 5out all-space lineup, Rubio and Brewer's 3-pointers are actually very average, especially the former, which is slightly better than Rondo.

People may not target you in the regular season, but they will match up in the playoffs. If you don’t target you with such a big flaw, do you think they are stupid?

The Spurs gradually regained their offensive rhythm, and the pass and cut began to play.

The Timberwolves' defensive problems still exist, whether they are defending with the ball or off the ball, they are not doing well.It doesn't put too much pressure on the opponent's outside line, so that the opponent can pass the ball happily.

However, the Timberwolves' offense is not bad. No matter Shou Ye's singles or Love and Kevin Martin's 3-pointers, they can give you a shot from time to time, so the score between the two sides has not been widened.

The game enters the rotation stage.The Timberwolves are led by Barea, while the Spurs are led by Yaodao.

The Spurs played a 10-man rotation today, and the five substitutes were Dior, Yaodao, Mills, Belinelli and Red Mamba Bonner.

The second lineup showed its strengths, and the Timberwolves were a little bit overwhelmed.Popovich really knows how to play. He let Yaodao lead the second team, and cooperated with the French magician Dior and others, and the offense was very effective.

The Timberwolves' second team has always been weak in offensive power. They couldn't stand it, and the score soon fell behind.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by 22 points at 26:4.
