NBA super small ball center

At the start of the second quarter, the Warriors used a bench lineup.

Center Bogut, power forward Speights, small forward Iguodala, scoring guard Barbossa, point guard Livingston.

And the Timberwolves' bench lineup is a little worse.

Center Bjelica, power forward Garnett, small forward Prince, scoring guard Shabazz Mohammed, point guard Tyles Jones.

The defense of this lineup is average, and the offense is mediocre.

Compared to the Warriors, the Timberwolves' bench lineup is weak inside.

It also gave the Warriors multiple opportunities to force the interior line.

Barbosa broke through again and again, either attracting the defensive ball or going straight to the basket.

And Bjelica was not fast enough, and there were problems with the defense under the basket, and Barbosa scored frequently.

Livingston also found a lot of singles opportunities, throwing into the middle distance.

The two combined for 18 points.

The Timberwolves are completely different, Garnett only defends and basically shoots iron, Shabazz Mohammed instead scored a few shots and scored 6 points, and Tyles Jones also relied on throwing to score 5 points.

With seven minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors were 48-36 with a 12-point lead.

But such a score advantage is not obvious, and the Timberwolves still have the possibility to recover the score.

Wang Lang also played again as a center, playing with power forward Green, small forward Iguodala, scoring guard Thompson, and point guard Curry.

Iguodala also played the full second quarter and was ready to play at full strength.

Wang Lang also knows very well that he can form a more subtle cooperation with Iguodala and Curry next.

The Timberwolves also fielded their starting lineup.

The Timberwolves attacked, and the Ruby ball went beyond the three-point line.

Towns gave Rubio a pick-and-roll, and Rubio continued to dribble from the outside, ready to shoot.

Downs also ran to the top of the arc.

Wang Lang followed Tang Si closely, not leaving an inch.

Rubio couldn't get away from Curry's defense and had to pass to Towns.

Downs received the ball and made a shooting motion directly.

Wang Lang was not fooled, he still stood in place and did not jump.

Downs immediately burst on the left side, strode the ball and rushed towards the penalty area.

Wang Lang couldn't completely block his footsteps, but he defended sideways and increased the confrontation, which also made Downs's dribbling unstable and almost fell.

Coming to the vicinity of the basket, Downs made a sharp effort and prepared to dunk directly.

Wang Lang jumped up and used the extremely high bounce height to interfere with Downs.

Downs' strong dunk was also blocked, and the ball slammed into the inside of the basket and bounced.

Wang Lang jumped up, directly picked up the rebound, and dribbled to counterattack.

He dribbled all the way to the front court and stood outside the three-point line.

Downs also followed all the way and was still defending.

Wang Lang saw the opportunity and directly made a gesture of worshiping the Buddha.

Tang Si also subconsciously took a step back to prevent Wang Lang from breaking through.

Wang Lang suddenly shot a three-point shot and used Curry's special skill [Quick Shot].

Because the shot was so fast, Downs didn't have time to block it, and the ball went in.

Downs also froze in place, at a loss.

Wang Lang scored 20 points and added a rebound, bringing the rebounds to 9, and only 1 was short of 10 rebounds.

He excitedly raised his right hand and held out three fingers in celebration.

The Timberwolves fans at the scene were silent and overwhelmed.

The Warriors are 51-36 with a 15-point lead.

Downs also lowered his head, a little frustrated.

A Smith in the live broadcast room was laughing: "What a fast shooting speed, very similar to Curry, has he specially trained with Curry?"

O'Neal smiled: "In any case, his shot is fast enough, but his shooting ability is still accurate, he is really a powerful shooter, not only can he grab the rebound at the first time to launch a counterattack, but also shoot three points at the first time, both offensive and defensive."

A Smith nodded: "This kind of center player is indeed rare, and this is really what a center forward in the new era can do."

O'Neal looked envious: "If I had such three-point ability, I would have grabbed the rebound alone, it was too enjoyable."

A. Smith asked, "Don't you like to rush in and dunk

?" O'Neal asked rhetorically, "I'm missing a dunk?" "

The Timberwolves attack, and the rupee ball goes to the outside.

Wiggins followed suit.

Downs blocked Wiggins, allowing Wiggins to directly form a breakthrough space and stride into the interior.

Wang Lang immediately switched defenses, allowing Iguodala to face Downs and block Wiggins' path himself.

Wiggins immediately passed the ball to Downs.

Downs also got a misplaced opportunity to force a shot.

Iguodala's height and reach couldn't defend and allowed Towns to shoot.

The Warriors are 51-39, and the margin is back to 12 points.

The two sides were also at a stalemate, with the score changing repeatedly.

The Warriors attacked, and Wang Lang dribbled to the outside to face Towns.

Downs has been scored multiple times, and he is on the verge of being a big enemy.

Wang Lang also made a gesture of worshiping Buddha again.

Downs did not dare to retreat and remained confrontational.

Wang Lang quickly dribbled and broke through, passing Downs from the left side.

Downs also hurried to catch up.

But Wang Lang has already entered the inner line.

He also saw Curry running to the basket nearby.

Wang Lang made a feint to attract the two of them to be wrapped in by Giang and Downs.

He also followed the pass from behind and handed it to Curry.

Curry catches the ball and goes straight to the basket in three steps.

His movements were also very fast, and Gion didn't have time to make up for the defense, and the ball went in.

Wang Lang also got 6 assists, 10 rebounds, plus 20 points, and has already got a double-double.

He happily high-fived Curry in celebration.

The Warriors are 53-39, still leading by 14 points.

The score was in the Warriors' favor.

But Curry's physical exertion is not small, and he feels a little tired.

Wang Lang saw it in his eyes and knew that he had to mobilize more teammates to attack and share the pressure on Curry.

In the next round, the Timberwolves kept attacking, and Towns got a lot of space for misplaced shots.

Iguodala and Thompson couldn't stop either, allowing Towns to shoot a couple of mid-range shots and score eight points.

LaVine also took the opportunity to shoot three-pointers and scored six points.

And then there's Rubio, who has six points in the middle distance.

On the Warriors' side, Curry was heavily targeted, and Wang Lang was also caught and could only pass to Thompson and Iguodala.

But the two of them had a mediocre hand, scoring 15 points on 5-of-10 shooting.

By the end of the second quarter, the Warriors were 68-59, and the difference was back within 10 points, only 9 points away.

This is also the result of the Warriors' reduced defensive intensity and lack of physical strength.

The first half of the game ended with a break.

Wang Lang also sat on the bench, waiting for an opportunity.

At this time, while he was tired, he was also thinking about how to win.

The Warriors' offensive firepower dropped and their defense was inadequate, making it difficult to pull away.

Coupled with the lack of physical strength of Thompson and others, in the third quarter, they will only be more passive.

At this moment, Kerr walked over and looked at the crowd: "Your offense is good, it's just that the defense is not enough, and it looks like it's going to be difficult to change the defensive state.

"So, I made some adjustments, let Green defend Towns, Wang Lang sat under the basket, and our offense also needed to change, from now on, Thompson blocked Wang Lang.

Hearing this, Wang Lang understood and knew that Kerr was ready to change his tactics and strengthen his interior defense, while allowing the Warriors to play more counterattacks and take away the game.
