NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 155 The moment of explosive punishment, the second round

press conference.

"Coach Su Chen, you swept your opponent, what do you think made you win the series?"

The reporter was the first to ask Su Chen.

"Focus, we've been focusing all season."

"You know, we've been through a lot at the start of the season, and each of us is trying to find our sweet spot."

"I tell the players, if you want to play on this team, you have to be focused enough, whether it's defense or offense."

Facing the reporter's interview, Su Chen answered calmly.

"The Blazers are also a youth team, but they were swept by you. What kind of team do you think they are?"

Then a reporter asked Su Chen.

This question is a bit provocative.

"They have a very strong offensive player, when Aldridge has the ball, we have to take turns to limit the strategy."

"Lillard is also very good, honestly, he scored some unbelievable goals."

"But we found the right way, disrupted their rhythm, and we were focused enough."

Su Chen also gave a more official answer to this question.

I didn't look down on the opponent because I swept the opponent, and said some teasing or demeaning remarks.

Hearing Su Chen's answer, the reporter was a little disappointed.

At first, I thought that Su Chen, a young man, had insufficient EQ, but now it seems that he has no chance to get any news.

"What do you think of the next opponent?"

The reporter asked Su Chen again.

"The opponents in the next round haven't finished yet, but the Warriors are currently leading [-]-[-]. I had a very good time with them last season and I know their strength very well."

"However, whether it is the Rockets or the Warriors, we need to maintain enough focus and seriously defend every round."

In Su Chen's slightly official answer, he also expressed his own opinion.

After answering some random questions, Su Chen returned to the hotel.

After a short rest, the team can take the flight back to Minnesota.

Next, whether it is against the Warriors or the Rockets, the Timberwolves will give priority to the home court advantage.

Inside the hotel.

The first thing Su Chen did when he returned to the hotel was to open the system interface and check the information.

Su Chen felt a little uneasy.

"I don't know if the Trail Blazers are considered an A-level team."

Su Chen was also a little unsure.

Although the Blazers have Aldridge at the peak, and Lillard who is slowly entering the peak, the overall Timberwolves and the Blazers are not too difficult to fight against.

According to Su Chen's understanding, grade A is also divided into three grades: A-, A, and A+.

A grade is required for check-in, so A- is not enough for check-in.

It is unlikely that the Blazers' lineup will fall to the B level, but it may be A-.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning and scoring the series of A-level and above teams, and a lottery can be conducted."

After seeing this message, Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, the Blazers still reached the A level.

"It seems that Lillard should get a lot of extra points in the 75th place in the future."

Su Chen chuckled.

And after confirming that the Blazers are A-level, the remaining teams can basically be determined to be A-level or above.

The next round will probably be the Warriors advance.

For the defending champion, there is no change in the players, and even an extra Brewer was added.

The Blazers can all be A-level, so there is no reason for the Warriors to be lower than A-level.

As for the strong teams they will face next, one is the Spurs and the other is the Heat. These two teams are at the S level.

In other words, the opponents of the Timberwolves this season can basically draw a lottery.

"Open the draw!"

Su Chen didn't think too much, and started to smoke directly.

What makes Su Chen feel a little helpless about the lottery draw of this system is that there is no process, no turntable or fruit machine.

is to generate results directly.

Although most of the lottery draws generate good results when the draw button is pressed, it's not bad to pretend to be excited while watching the process.

"The extraction is complete, the A-level skill [Explosive Punishment Moment] has been released."

Another A-level skill!
The last time I got an A-level skill, I still ignited this skill in the hot zone.

how to say.

Su Chen felt that A-level skills were a bit too restrictive.

Last season, there was a guy like Curry in the hot zone. This skill is very practical, and it can be said to be worthy of A-level performance.

But this season, the team's most accurate Middleton has only two hot spots on the outside.

One piece is still in the bottom corner.

This season, Su Chen almost forgot about the ability to ignite the hot zone.

From last season's A-level skill with super-touch intensity, it has become a tasteless A-level skill.

For this new skill, [Explosive Punishment Moment], Su Chen actually had a guess in his mind.

Click on [Explosive Force Moment] to take a look.

[Explosive Penalty Moment (Level A): The player gets the explosive penalty charge, which improves the foul-making ability of the designated player and increases the free throw ability. Continuous effect: two charges are obtained within 1 minute, and the player's impact on the basket will automatically take effect. Free throws consume a charge. 】

"It's quite a limitation."

Su Chen looked at the skill description and frowned.

This and the hot zone ignite, both last 1 minute.

But the hot zone is ignited within 1 minute, and it takes effect an unlimited number of times. According to the general offensive and defensive rhythm, it can be played about three times.

If the opponent doesn't delay and play fast, or Su Chen directly uses foul tactics, committing two points and chasing three points.

This takes effect more times.

This explosive power moment lasted for 1 minute, but it only took effect twice.

And there is no guarantee that free throws can be made, regardless of whether they are on the free throw line or not.

But when Su Chen thought about it, it was actually reasonable.

If the opponent has a five-offender player on the field, at this explosive moment, arrange a tactic to find the opponent to fight.

Can beat the opponent's five offenders to graduate!

If this skill takes effect an unlimited number of times within 1 minute, it can even beat a three-offender's main force to five offenders in an instant, or even graduate.

If so, this skill is an S-level evaluation.

"Although the truth is the same, it's just that the two recharges can't guarantee a stable foul, so the intensity is a little low."

Su Chen thought about it, but had no choice but to accept it.

Then, take a look at your own panel as usual.

【Host】: Su Chen

"That classification is quite mysterious. I don't know if we can extract the things from that classification this season."

Su Chen turned off the panel.

Su Chen sat on the bed and took down the notebook.

"The next step is to fight the Warriors, how should the Warriors fight?"

Su Chen looked at the notebook and thought.

In fact, if you want to say how strong this Warriors team is, it's not that strong.

First of all, judging from the lineup, the Warriors' lineup is actually weaker than the lineup in the original timeline.

Not to mention Bogut, the original timeline was injured, but this timeline is mysteriously earlier than the original timeline.

The original Warriors had Iguodala this season, and Brewer this season.

Although Brewer also has a certain strength, he is still much worse than Iguodala.

The Warriors in the original timeline fought against the Clippers in seven games and were eliminated in the first round.

The Clippers did not play the Thunder in the original timeline. It is conceivable that the strength of the Warriors at that time.

But the Warriors have also become stronger.

That is, the Warriors have found the most suitable style of play ahead of time.

After Su Chen led the Warriors to win the championship last season, Xiao Hua took a look at the small-ball style of play and won the championship, so he went ahead and implemented the rule changes he planned early in the morning.

The rules were changed, and Cole took advantage of it directly after taking office.

It's not just that the rules are in favor of the Warriors, at the same time, Su Chen has come up with a fairly mature system for the Warriors last season.

Cole didn't need to go to tedious little things to improve at all, except that the elevator door couldn't be used anymore, the entire transfer system had already been fixed by Su Chen.

In the first half of the season, the Warriors were running into this system, and after running in, they rushed directly to the third place in the Western Conference, which is enough to show that this team has a different style of play.

You must know that in the original timeline, the Warriors this season are still coached by Mark Jackson.

"The players are weaker than before, but they have found the best style of play. There is no doubt that they should be stronger overall."

Su Chen was analyzing while taking notes.

"But the way of playing pass and cut, what should you do with my striker lineup, Cole?"

Su Chen smiled.

With the advanced system he brought, no problem.

But with his system, it means that most of the time, Su Chen doesn't even need to use [Hawkeye] to see Cole's tactical board.

You can also guess which tactics Cole will play most of the time.

As the Timberwolves swept their opponents to advance.

Slowly, other teams also completed the first round one after another.

Western side.

Like the Timberwolves, the Spurs also completed a sweep of the Grizzlies.

The black sevens and black eights that everyone was looking forward to now are simply jokes.

Both the Spurs and the Timberwolves have shown the momentum of the top teams. Whether it is the Grizzlies or the Trail Blazers, neither team seems to have much to do.

A team that is not at the same level as the opponent is average.

The Spurs are a veteran team, there is nothing to say.

Before the start of the playoffs, the Timberwolves have always been considered a pseudo-strong team, the kind that will show their true colors once the playoffs arrive.

But in the face of the Blazers' sweep, many people changed their views.

There are also people who are more stubborn, thinking that the Trail Blazers team was a big team last season, and like the Timberwolves, they are rebuilding and rushing to the playoffs.

It's nothing to win the Trail Blazers, who are not considered a strong team.

The controversy about the Timberwolves team is still going on from the offseason to the regular season, and even to the current playoffs.

Except for the Spurs and Timberwolves.

The other two teams in the West that advanced to the second round are the Warriors and the Thunder.

The Warriors are relatively easy.

After two to one, the Warriors won two consecutive rounds and eliminated the Rockets led by Harden.

Under Cole's pass and cut system, the Splash Brothers become the core, and once the touch is opened, they become an existence that the Rockets cannot stop.

The backcourt combination of Harden and Jamilin couldn't stand it at all, and their defensive champion Beverly, who was supposed to rise this season, was taken away by the Timberwolves.

If Beverley replaces Jamie Lin as the starting point guard, he may be able to win an extra game against the Warriors.

Although the Warriors' promotion is not as easy as the Spurs and Timberwolves, it is not too difficult.

The real difficulty is Thunder.

They played the tiebreaker with the Clippers, and then relied on Westbrook's explosion to win the tiebreaker and advance.

If it hadn't been through the trade, the Thunder would have won the Clippers more easily.

The tie-break is not just Westbrook's outbreak. Although Ibaka's replacement with Gobert's combat effectiveness has dropped a lot, once Paul feels bad and can't practice Gobert alone, then Gobert is still enough to restrict the Clippers inside.

The results of the second round match are also out.

San Antonio Spurs vs Oklahoma City Thunder.

Minnesota Timberwolves VS Golden State Warriors.

The seasoned Spurs will face the Thunder who rushed out from the tiebreaker and led by the Shuang Shao.

After the first round, both the Thunder and the Clippers were in a fierce battle. Facing the Spurs, more people are optimistic about the Spurs.

The Thunder want to win the Spurs, so whether Gobert's restrictions on Duncan are successful will become the key point.

Gobert is an offensive player, and his current selling point is defense. If the defense can't prevent Duncan, Gobert's role on the court will be a question mark.

In contrast, the battle of the other group received a very high degree of attention.

The Warriors had a dramatic encounter with the Timberwolves, the new team led by former coach Su Chen, in the playoffs.

This is a very interesting thing.

Before, many people still questioned that the Timberwolves' opponents in the first round were not rich enough, so in this round, the defending champion Warriors are full of gold.

The strength of the Warriors is considered by the outside world to be in the top three, second only to the Spurs and the Heat.

This set of matchups is undoubtedly very interesting.
