The King of the NBA

In the 2013-2013 season, the Warriors ushered in an explosion. The combination of Curry and Thompson bloomed dazzlingly, shocking the entire league.

In the first half of this season, they even led the team to the top four in the Western Conference.

Although their record declined in the second half of the season, they eventually reached the playoffs with the sixth record in the Western Conference, and they were upset in the first round of the playoffs. Nuggets.

Entering the second round, the Warriors lost to the Spurs, but their talents amazed countless people, especially the three-pointers. Both Curry and Thompson hit more than 200 three-pointers this season. When it rains three-pointers, it always makes the fans feel refreshed.

Of course, as their opponents, only the scalp is numb.

It can be said that this season laid the foundation for the rise of the Warriors and also established the tone of their "three-point team".

Entering the 2013-2014 season, the ambition of the Warriors is obviously not just to enter the playoffs, or to get past the first round. Their lineup has become more tidy, and the players have become more mature. Not only Curry and Thompson, but also 12 years Rookies Barnes and Green, these two have gradually emerged, making the Warriors even stronger.

The Warriors have played 4 games this season with a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.

Of course, this season has just started, and it is difficult to see too much from the record, but judging from the performance in the game, the Warriors are indeed stronger than last season.

Facing the Warriors, all the generals of the Timberwolves felt a little dignified.

Adelman is also full of seriousness, especially after experiencing two consecutive losses, this game has become extremely important. If the Warriors can be won, it will not only be as simple as ending the losing streak, but also improve the morale of the Timberwolves. .

On this day, fans came to the Target Center early, waiting for the game to start.

The Warriors players have arrived. Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, David Lee, Bogut, and Barnes all looked calm, but the fighting spirit in their eyes was shocking.

At this time, the lights on the scene dimmed, and the DJ loudly announced the appearance of the Timberwolves players. A beam of lights lit up and hit the top of the player tunnel. Timberwolves players came out of the player tunnel one by one, welcoming warm cheers from the audience.

The huge cheers were deafening, resounding throughout the arena, and also reached the ears of the Warriors players. Finally, there was a slight change in their plain expressions-not fear and worry, but excitement.

This is a rising team, a young team, full of fighting spirit, ambition and dreams, and everyone is eager to fight.

The Timberwolves players came out one by one and looked at the Warriors players.

The eyes of the two sides collided in the air, and sparks burst out. From the eyes of the other side, they both saw determination, and they were bound to win this game.

Ning Yi took a deep breath, glanced at Curry and Thompson, and then fell on Iguodala and Green. The Warriors' starting small forward should be Iguodala, and the substitute should be Green. Which one is not easy for Ning Yi, both of them are defensive champions.

And Ning Yi is good at attacking but not good at defending. It is not good for him to encounter such a defensive champion.

At half past six in the afternoon, the game begins.

The Timberwolves are regular starters, and the Warriors are Bogut, David Lee, Iguodala, Thompson, and Curry, who are also regular starters.

As soon as it came up, the Warriors got the ball.

Their rhythm is very fast. After reaching the frontcourt, they move quickly, split after pick-and-roll and block, and cross positions between each other, like a rotary machine, without stopping for a moment.

Some people say that the Warriors are the best running team in the NBA. This sentence is not unreasonable. Their tactics and player characteristics determine that they must be good at running. And this smooth and rapid offense is also the attraction of the Warriors, and it will always make you feel refreshed.

"Shua!"

After a few runs, the ball was given to Thompson. He raised his hand and made a three-pointer. The ball entered the net decisively, cleanly, and made the first victory for the Warriors.

Here, the Timberwolves fight back

Ning Yi sat on the sidelines, frowning: "The Warriors' counterattack is too fast, plus the three-pointer is sharp. Although our side is also scoring, the efficiency is not as good as the opponent."

Adelman was also frowning. After playing for more than three minutes, the Timberwolves had already fallen into a disadvantage. The rhythm was controlled by the opponent, so they could only chase hard and be led by the nose.

This is definitely not going to work. Adelman called a timeout, looked at the bench, hesitated, and said, "Dion, go up and replace Pekovic. Cunningham, go up and replace Brewer. .”

Ning Yi was stunned, without himself?

This made Ning Yi feel lost, but soon he knew why.

More than three minutes later, the Warriors began to make substitutions, replacing Barnes and Green.

Here, Adelman also made a substitution, replacing Cunningham and Martin with Ning Yi and Mbah a Moute.

"So that's how it is." Ning Yi was stunned, but couldn't help but sigh, the coach was still consciously letting him avoid the opponent's main small forward. At least in Adelman's opinion, Green, a second-year rookie, must be easier to deal with than Iguodala, and it also allows Ning Yi to play better.

But for this arrangement, Ning Yi is not happy.

This made Ning Yi very unwilling, but Adelman has his own considerations, and he stands from a different angle. In his opinion, Ning Yi is still a rookie after all, and it is not a good idea for him to fight against the opponent's main small forward. choose. Just like against the Knicks and the Raptors, this is not a good thing for the team, and Ning Yi will become a weakness.

"beep"

The whistle blows and the timeout ends.

Ning Yi came on the court and immediately felt strong defensive pressure. Although Green is a second-year rookie, he is extremely talented, especially on the defensive end. The best defensive player in the future is no joke.

"Huh." Ning Yi let out a foul breath, then ran back and quickly cut into the inside line. He gave Dion a look, completed a pick-and-roll with Dion, and threw Green away.

Coming to the other side, Ning Yi catches the ball.

At this time, the figure flashed, and Green had already caught up, and he didn't jump up in a hurry, just staring at Ning Yi like a cheetah, ready to violently hurt people at any time.

Ning Yi frowned, but chose to pass the ball.

In the following period of time, Ning Yi took three shots and only scored one. Green's defensive talent is really extraordinary. He has height, wingspan, speed, and bounce, and is very good at using his physical advantages to constantly give Ning Yi Apply pressure so that Ning Yi can't get rid of it, even if he gets rid of it, he can catch up quickly.

When the first quarter ended, Ning Yi only scored 2 points.
