56-39! Huazi s injury retreats, lack of database and has gravity, Cole s 14 people rotate and boldly uses people

On May 9, the NBA playoffs continued, and the Warriors challenged the Timberwolves away. In the last game, the Warriors Curry retired. The Timberwolves did not seize the opportunity and were won by their first game by their opponents. In this game, the Timberwolves were determined to take revenge. At present, the two top teams in the Eastern Conference have already lagged behind their opponents 2-0. The Thunder completed revenge at their home court, and all the pressure came to the Timberwolves. In the first quarter, the Timberwolves had a clear desire to attack. Without Ku's gravitational support, the Warriors' offense stagnated and fell 14 points behind in the first quarter. In the second quarter, Edwards retreated and the Warriors regained their offensive touch. At the end of the second quarter, they were in a stalemate with the Timberwolves, but the lead in the first quarter was too large. At the end of the half, the Timberwolves led the Warriors 56-39. In the game, the Warriors could not find the feel of shooting, but were hit 13-0 by the Timberwolves. The starting player performed poorly. Kerr responded in time. Without Curry's restraint, the Warriors' shooting space was relatively weak. Kerr could only hope to debug the lineup through various attempts. In just one quarter of the game, Kerr used an 11-man rotation lineup, with a very clear purpose, that is, whoever feels better will play for a while. Unfortunately, under the defense of the Timberwolves, he only gave an assist in the 8-minute game and scored 7 points. He could not defend or attack, and the Warriors fell into an embarrassing situation. Fortunately, at the end of the first quarter, Green and Hilder made a three-pointer, helping the Warriors recover briefly.

In the second quarter, no one of the Warriors scored. Fortunately, the Timberwolves' offense was not smooth, but the Timberwolves' strong point was that they could defend the Warriors' offense. Green was obviously anxious. After being fouled, his back arm stretched to Reed's head and received his own technical foul. Green, who was out of control, did not hold it down even if Curry came on the court, and then was replaced directly by Cole. But at this time, the Warriors' offense began to awaken and slowly found the feeling of shooting. As the game deepened, Edwards was stepped on by TJD, sprained his left ankle, and was finally forced to leave the court for examination.

Cole directly used a 14-man rotation lineup in the second quarter. In fact, this was also a helpless move. Fortunately, it was a good effect. After Edwards was injured and rested, the Warriors' offense slowly recovered. At least he was able to remain in a stalemate with the Timberwolves in the second quarter. At the end of the half, the Timberwolves led the Warriors 17 points 56-39.

Analysis of the first half game, the Timberwolves' offense started from the second quarter, but they were not very good at defending, but Edwards' injury may become an uncertain factor in the progress of the game. On the contrary, the Warriors' continuous tricks are constantly being used, and Cole is bold and has very obvious intentions. Whoever performs well will play. In the absence of Curry, this is also a helpless move. Fortunately, in this game, Kumingga lived up to expectations, made 5 of 5 in the half-time game, and scored 10 points.

The Timberwolves shot 47% of their three-point shooting percentage in the first half, but the Warriors only had 23%, but as the Warriors' offense gradually opened up, we look forward to the exciting game in the second half. It is worth mentioning that when the article was posted, Edwards had already returned to the field in the second half of the game.
