Duncan jumped for the Spurs' chance to take the lead. Parker held the ball to the frontcourt and directly signaled that Duncan wanted the ball in the low post.
The Timberwolves' starting lineup is good, but the defensive problem is very big. Ridnour, Love and Pekovic are famous defensive colanders.
Duncan played back Love directly after receiving the ball from the post.
Love is heavy but slow, Duncan turned to the basket and then turned to the bottom line. After throwing away Love, he hit the rebound and hit the ball.
The Spurs come first.
The Timberwolves' offense, Rubio's outside organization, Love's high post pick and roll, Ridnour and Williams running back and forth without a ball.
Adelman is the best coach in the league to use "Princeton tactics." The Kings, who built the early 20th century, were gorgeous and swept the league.
Although the strength of this Timberwolves team can not be compared with the Kings, but the play is very similar, people, balls, and coordination.
The Spurs' defense was in place, but Rubio suddenly hit the earth with a long throw, and the ball passed through the crowd and went directly to Pekovic.
Pekovic received the ball and hooked directly against Blair.
Blair weighs 120 kg and has a solid muscle stick.
However, the opposite Pekovic is also the same, a large meat shield, and he is 10 cm taller than him, and it is difficult for him to interfere with this shot.
"Oh!"
The ball echoed into the net, and Pekovic also returned a goal.
There was a burst of cheers from the fans.
Pekovic ended beautifully just now, but Rubio's pass is more beautiful, which is the team's hope.
The Spurs attacked and Duncan continued to lay the basket. This time Pekovic came over to help defend when he turned around.
But he was moving slower than Love. Duncan had already completed his shot by the time he reached the spot, and fell into the net bag again after hitting the ball.
Although "Stone Buddha" is old, it still hits a dozen.
The Spurs have this matchup advantage, and they don't even have to waste energy to run tactics.
Looking back, the Timberwolves continued to play Princeton tactics, this time Love was holding the ball high.
When Ridnour and Williams interspersed, he passed the ball to Pekovic in one pass.
After receiving the ball, Pekovic turned and hooked after hitting, but he immediately grabbed the offensive rebound and succeeded in the second attack.
Both teams scored in the first two rounds and scored 4 to 4 at the start.
Popovich stood up from the sideline at this time, loudly reminded Blair to let Pekovic out of the penalty area.
In the Spurs' offense, Duncan continued to receive the ball from a low post, this time Pekovic double-teamed in advance.
Duncan gave the ball to Blair.
After Blair took the ball, he dunked with both hands and finally spit out for himself.
Pekovic's advantages and disadvantages are quite obvious. Offensively, he is strong, excellent in strength, very good at confrontation, and the feel of the basket is very soft.
However, his shortcomings are slow movement speed and slow defense, and he basically cannot return when he comes out.
In the Timberwolves' offense, Pekovic sank directly to the bottom this time to prepare for the ball. Love just had to hang the ball, and Duncan consciously recovered it.
After Tang Tian saw the first time, he assisted in defending Love. If Love was, the shot at this position was very stable.
Love was originally ready to vote, seeing that Tang Tian had assisted in defense, he threw his hand to the cut-in Williams.
Williams received the ball and made a layup before Duncan assisted.
The Timberwolves continued to increase their points, and after the opening of the two teams started a confrontation.
This also became the epitome of the first half of the first quarter of the two sides.
Although the Timberwolves' poor defense made the Spurs frequently score, Blair's disadvantages on the match made Duncan help from time to time.
Tang Tian had to help defend Love, Williams and Ridnour appeared one after another, and the Timberwolves' offense continued.
The first quarter played for about 7 minutes. The score on the field was 18 draws.
At the Spurs' locker room, Jefferson laughed at the pig.
Sure enough, exactly as he imagined, Tang Tian's starting effect is completely different from playing off the bench.
After playing for so long, all his statistics are only one steal, even the number of shots is 0!
What's more terrible is that Williams against Tang Tian has scored 4 points!
There was no chance on the offensive end and the opponents scored consecutively on the defensive end. This performance was simply bad.
Parker's breakthrough caused Pekovic's thug.
"beep!"
At this time, he heard a short whistle from the live broadcast, which was about to be replaced.
And this time, it is the substitution in advance.
The camera wasn't available, but he already guessed that Popovich was going to replace Tang Tian.
But when the camera shifted, his smile suddenly frozen.
The sideline was indeed a substitution adjustment for the Spurs, but it was Split and Ginobili who replaced Duncan and Green, Tang Tian is still on the field!
He gritted his teeth.
Popovich is eccentric!
Before playing the Celtics, he scored 4 points and was replaced. This time, he didn't change Tang Tian!
Parker's two free throws.
He made one of two free throws and the Spurs took the lead again.
But compared to offense, what the Spurs need to improve now is defense.
Love received the ball from a high position and continued to hang on to Pekovic. Pekovic turned and shot, but this time his shot was obviously off.
Split straightened at this time, his height is not shorter than Pekovic, although the confrontation is slightly worse, but the interference on the line of sight is in place.
The Spurs' offense.
After Duncan went off, the Spurs' matchup advantage was not as obvious as before, and Parker signaled to play the AI hammer tactics.
Parker's breakthrough after the left tactic attracted the defense of the basket. He gave the ball to the right corner.
Tang Tian has appeared in the corner with Split's pick-and-roll.
One open three-pointer.
Catch the ball and shoot.
Although he hasn't got a mobile phone meeting yet, he still has a good sense of rhythm.
"Oh!"
The three-pointer was hollow and Tang Tian hit the first goal of the game!
This goal also helped the Spurs to extend their advantage to 4 points.
In the Timberwolves' offense, Love fell to a low post to catch Blair, then turned and hooked.
He weighed heavier than Blair, and this turn was completely a white bear turn, Blair could not interfere.
The ball wiped the rebound and shot into the net bag. Love assisted the Timberwolves in scoring. The difference was 2 points.
Ginobili's possession of the ball in the frontcourt, but he did not attack immediately, but dribbled while signalling Tang Tian and Blair to play off the ball.
Blair was big enough to block Williams from death.
Tang Tiandou's three-point receiving opportunity, Ginobili flew the ball as soon as possible.
Tang Tian catches the ball and Pekovic's speed is too late to change defenses, he can only reach for his hands symbolically.
"Oh!"
Tang Tian's second three-pointer shot, also scored!
Popovich sat down on the sidelines.
The team didn't get off to a good start, and he knew it was a defensive problem.
Tang Tian seems to be leaking, but there is no problem in assisting defense selection.
This is why he keeps Tang Tian on the court. He doesn't need Tang Tian's score, he needs his defense.
I just didn't expect that Tang Tian didn't miss these two three-pointers at once, which gave him a big surprise!
Jefferson's face was a bit ugly, and Tang Tian's climbing performance made him particularly unhappy.
Fortunately, at this time Williams hit Love's pass and hit a large two-pointer to make him slightly more comfortable.
Tang Tian had defended a lot of people before, but Williams was one size bigger than him, and his physical fitness was excellent, and it was difficult for him to defend.
In other words, although Tang Tian's offense is open, it does not mean that the defense is in place.
Now Williams has scored 6 points in the first quarter. If he was present, it would not be the result.
Substitutions occurred at this time, Beasley and Wesley Johnson came on in place of Pekovic and Rubio, and Mills came on in place of Parker.
Tang Tian's three-pointer just now forced him to replace Pekovic.
The Spurs attacked in the frontcourt and Ginobili received the ball. Tang Tian didn't have a chance to run. He directly took the ball and made a breakthrough.
Ridnour was poor and slow, and he couldn't keep up with Ginobili.
Ginobili made a snake-shaped breakthrough and hit the rim to score directly.
The Spurs still maintain a 5-point lead.
This is the role of Ginobili in the Spurs, he is playing with his brain.
Pekovic was slow, and he let Tang Tian run without a three-pointer. Pekovic went down. The Timberwolves had a defensive emptiness under the basket, and he could score Ridden alone.
In the Timberwolves' offense, Love had a bad chance to play Split in the low post. He returned the ball to Ridnour and went to the high post to continue playing Princeton.
The ball passed to Williams, Williams speeded off Tang Tian's layup.
"Snapped!"
But before he picked up the ball, he felt a light hand, and his ball was cut off by Tang Tian directly!
Looking back, dig!
Tang Tian was quick and accurate, and gave the ball to Ginobili immediately after the steal.
Ginobili dumped a layup to Mills.
The Spurs pulled the difference to 7 points!
Jefferson's expression grew darker.
In fact, Jefferson was completely wrong!
Because his ideas are only accurate for the average rookie.
In fact, players like Tang Tian don't need the right to shoot at all.
The reason he will stay on the court right now is that he has a strong enough defense.
In the front, Williams scored more because of assisting to defend Love. Popovich knew that.
So regardless of the role on the field or the coaching staff's consideration, Tang Tian has done a good job, which is also not reflected in the data.
Do n’t need to help defend Love, Tang Tian ’s one-on-one defense against Williams is not a problem at all.
Williams wanted to shake off with speed, but his speed was much slower than Tang Tian, not to mention that Tang Tian's dynamic vision had long captured his intentions.
The reality is a backhand steal.
The first quarter lasted about 10 minutes, and the two sides successively entered a large-scale rotation.
Timberwolves Love, Williams and Ridnour were also replaced and played in Milicic, Webster and Baria.
On the Spurs side, Bonner and Anderson also played for Blair and Tang Tian.
This section on both sides is a pure bench lineup.
In the last two minutes, the Timberwolves side was basically Beasley attacking, the efficiency was very low, and the Spurs side didn't play much.
After the first quarter, the score of the two sides was 31 to 23, and the Spurs held an 8-point lead.
Entering the second quarter, the Timberwolves replaced William Beasley with Williams.
Beasley and Williams are very similar. Beasley feels bad. Adelman wants Williams to take the team offense.
In the second quarter, the Timberwolves took the lead.
"Come on! Timberwolves!"
In the backward situation, the fans at home also cheered for the team under the leadership of the DJ.
The Timberwolves 'young players are a little bit enthusiastic, but the Spurs' defense is solid, and they don't get too good scoring opportunities after half the offensive time.
Barria finally greeted Williams for a pick-and-roll and gave him a chance of dislocation after returning the ball.
After receiving the ball, Williams leaned back on Mills, then turned and walked to the basket, speeding up the slam dunk before Split returned.
From this ball you can see that his competitive status is very good.
He became faster after losing weight, but the confrontation did not drop much, and the whole person looked very light.
In the Spurs' offense, Ginobili broke the layup and caused Milicic to beat. After making two free throws, he continued to maintain a point difference.
Looking back, Barria directly signaled his teammates to pull away, and then handed the ball to Williams, signalling him to play Anderson alone.
At the beginning of the game, Williams has scored 8 points on 4 of 5 shots. Except for the time when Tang Tian was intercepted, his performance was perfect.
This kind of performance should make him play harder, and take advantage of the hot hands to narrow the points.
After holding the ball, Williams chose face-to-face singles. His footsteps were excellent during the NCAA period, and he became more capable after losing weight.
After he made a cross, he pushed Anderson directly and killed the blue.
Anderson judged that it was in place, but the confrontation was a level worse. At the basket, he could only choose to foul to prevent it.
Williams caused a foul in the confrontation and scored a goal, a 2 + 1.
There was a burst of cheering at the scene. Williams has scored 10 points and a penalty!
He is about to break out tonight!
Popovich turned around and called Tang Tian to let him play for Anderson.
Williams was given a chance to increase his punishment. After seeing Tang Tian come up, he was glad.
The ball that was cut in the front is his care. Now the team's main point of attack is here, and he is in a hot state, and he can just find his way!
Williams made an extra free throw and scored 11th point.
Tang Tian had a good chance of catching the ball, but he missed it this time.
Williams grabbed a defensive rebound and transported himself to Tang Tian in the frontcourt.
He can't wait now.
At the Spurs' locker room, Jefferson was also indifferent at this time.
Tang Tian was replaced at this time, and Popovich made it clear that he was going to beat Williams.
Once it can't be suppressed, things will become very interesting.
Williams knew he didn't have a speed advantage and turned his back and chose to play with the ball.
However, he still remembered that at the NCAA, he knocked Tang Tian to the ground one after another.
If it weren't for the referee blowing him offensive fouls, the outcome of that game would not necessarily have been deterred.
New revenge and old resentment, he smashed into it.
"Bang! Bang!"
What surprised him, however, is that Tang Tian is not down at all now, but directly confronts him.
There was a muffled sound of muscle confrontation on the field.
The audience watching this scene was enthusiastic.
Moreover, Williams has a large body, and the confrontation still prevails, pushing Tang Tian a little bit inside.
Williams was a bit surprised by Tang Tian's choice, but it was better this way. When he got to the basket and put the ball in through Tang Tian, the coolness would only double!
"boom!"
It was another muscle confrontation, and Tang Tian stood still this time.
When Williams hit the peak again, he clearly exerted his strength.
But the moment after he exerted his power, he suddenly found that he had lost his focus!
Tang Tian's action of "removing the bench" approached him directly.
"Snapped!"
Another steal!
