For two consecutive seasons, the Warriors ended with a stellar performance in the regular season and elimination in the playoffs.

But although there hasn't been much talk in the media this season, the Warriors' management has a vague feeling that this team may be going downhill.

At this time, some fans present had already learned the news that Cole was hospitalized! The news just came out in major sports headlines!

And up until now, Cole has been in a coma! Walton knew that he could not tell the team members about this in advance.

He believes that the best case scenario tonight is that he waits for the team's victory and the Warriors players to visit Cole.

The head coach may be seriously injured and may not be able to return to the game for a period of time or even a season.

That means that the Warriors' lineup may completely disintegrate after the end of this season!

The third quarter of the game was torturous for the Timberwolves players because the opponent's momentum had already risen!

Although the players of the Timberwolves dunked and shot 2-pointers in various ways during the game, the players of the Warriors have begun to "watch the three-point rain with you"...

86:86! The Warriors' style of play is very simple now.

That is to let Varejao and Ezzeri work hard to grab rebounds! They just need to defend.

Because the offensive end really can't get the ball...

Varejao is a smart guy, and from his years in Cleveland, the Cavaliers have always been rich in talent.

But he can stand out from the Cavaliers when they don't have a strong center! It doesn't mean that he will be reused just because he makes a few flops on the court.

But in addition to some of his own skills, Varejao's reaction on the court also has a good football intelligence.

Playing as a power forward may be inferior, but in the role of a traditional center, there is no problem!

This quarter of the game is coming to an end. Li Feng has already scored 12 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists!

The sudden increase in the number of assists is mainly due to changes in the team's tactics and adjustments to the team's lineup.

Walton didn't know why. He was still talking and laughing with the players in the first half, but in the third quarter he seemed a little dull on the sidelines?

He was probably thinking about how to play next in the game or something.

LaVine didn't run towards the basket this round either. The Warriors' defensive players at the basket were guarding you as if they had a grudge against you!

Perhaps because it was the Warriors' home court, the referee's whistle for tonight's game also tended to blow Minnesota, so the Timberwolves players restrained themselves a lot at this time.

If the Warriors compete with them for three-pointers, then they will come too. But now they have also discovered that the efficiency of three-pointers is indeed not as high as that of the Warriors...

This is the signature play of his team!

And when a team is provoked, their potential will burst out on the field!

Jones finally caught LaVine's ground pass.

Facing Li Feng's defense, he finally passed the opponent, but when he made a jump shot, the ball was directly slapped away by Li Feng behind him!

Ezeli picked up the basketball and passed the ball directly to Curry. The latter immediately started running like crazy! It was too late for the Timberwolves to catch up!

At this time, Curry directly hit a pull-up jumper and hit a three-pointer!

Garnett: "Jones! You and Wiggins change positions! Wiggins will give you a task now! Guard Curry!

Then LaVine, myself, and Jones looked for opportunities to attack. The lead we had in front cannot be allowed to be surpassed by the opponent like this!"

At this time, Kevin's role played a role in the game. The players basically didn't think too much about how to play the game when they encountered a situation that couldn't be opened and the head coach didn't want to pause.

According to their thinking, we are a screw in the game. We can play however the coach tells us, and that's it.

But Garnett, the former Wolf King of the team, doesn't think so. What he thinks about is how to win the game!

If there are teammates who are causing trouble, who can't keep up with the rhythm, or even the head coach who deliberately doesn't want to win, he won't be able to get through it!

Mitchell watched this scene with relief from the sidelines.

It is great to have such "big brother" players in the team. It is best for a team to have one or two cohesive players in the team.

His teammates listen to him very much, and it is not easy for the players to lose their status on the field. At the same time, such players are also resolving all kinds of crises that you can't think of!

Right now, the Warriors' good offensive ability at outside guard is a bit foul! Naturally, what Kevin mainly does is to cool down Curry's hands quickly!

Only in this way can the Timberwolves' players have a chance to win against their opponents!

At this time, they no longer asked for a big victory over the Warriors. The fear on their bodies was like cold air, slowly coming to their backs...

No matter how you say it, the Warriors are still a skinny camel in the regular season.

Even if you have never eaten pork, you have seen many teams where the pigs ran away. Over the years, various teams have competed with the Warriors, and the previous seasons basically ended in failure.

This time Wiggins took the basketball and used his body to force past Li Feng and Curry and then passed the ball to LaVine, who also jumped up and hit a three-pointer!

Also a sophomore, it was this season that LaVine really began to receive the attention of fans and the media.

At this time, LaVine's averages per game are 10.9 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 2.6 assists! He is considered a good substitute defender in the team!

The Timberwolves have a very good lineup this season.

At the same time, it also brings invisible pressure to every player. Because all the players on the team can play, and their reputation is not very low.

When a season passes, there will always be players who perform poorly, or even do nothing at all.

Waiting to be traded, or looking for an opportunity in the second year to get an average per game that you are satisfied with. That's all.

Therefore, the players on the Timberwolves side basically played hard. LaVine is in good shape today and may be able to break 20 points in a single game!

In less than 16 seconds in the last 16 seconds, Curry hit another three-pointer, and Li Feng assisted 1! And Wiggins from the Timberwolves also caught the ball and hit a three-pointer in the last 5.3 seconds!

Players on both sides were fatigued to varying degrees.

The coaches of both sides were competing with each other. Walton was very energetic at this time! He watched the third quarter end with his hands on his hips.

At this time, Walton had just transitioned from player status to the team's assistant coach, and soon it was not certain who would be the team's head coach.

Walton feels that he, like other assistant coaches on the team, also wants to taste what it is like to be the head coach for a dozen or even dozens of games.

92:92! The Warriors had no problem with their lineup in the third quarter. They only let a few substitutes play for a while early in the fourth quarter.

So in the remaining time, Walton will not adjust the lineup.

What the Timberwolves are most looking forward to is that the game should be decided quickly in the fourth quarter!

Because in this case, they will finally win, which is the result that the Timberwolves coaches and players want to see most!

If you don't play against the Warriors, you won't be able to appreciate how powerful their opponent is.

Today, the Timberwolves players also felt the Warriors’ ruthless side!

Even Garnett felt powerless because the basketball almost stopped flying towards him!

Sometimes even if he wants to defend or attack, he can't use his strength. But Kevin is really full of expectations and confidence for this game!

The same goes for this season's games.

When he was with the Minnesota Timberwolves, he always hoped to lead these "wolves" to the finals and eventually win the championship!

After so many years of adjustments, there is finally a season that gives everyone hope. Naturally, the players will basically work hard to achieve such a result.

Walton: "In the next game, I sent two players to play for 2 minutes. Then the players in the third quarter will complete the rest of the game.

As for whether there will be any player adjustments at that time, let’s talk about it.”

After briefly speaking, Walton walked back immediately. When he faced the players on the bench, he had a serious look on his face.

At this time, Walton was thinking more about the future of the Warriors.

Whether they win this game or not is uncertain, what matters is the entire season. How far they can play while Cole is hospitalized.

Everything has become unknown.

Mitchell: "In the game, sometimes you have to listen to Kevin's arrangements.

We must control the offensive efficiency well. Don't let it be too low. Wiggins, can you still play in the fourth quarter?"

Wiggins: "I'll have no problem playing two more quarters"

Mitchell: "Okay. Then go up and defend Curry in the fourth quarter. Just control the Warriors' three-pointers!"

We are one step closer to defeating them! Maybe we can defeat the Warriors directly..."

...

The Timberwolves have no choice in terms of substitutions. If they let some substitutes with average abilities come on to play in the game, they may lose the game immediately.

Therefore, the team only replaced Jones with Rubio in the fourth quarter. Although LaVine seemed tired, LaVine was really accurate today!

So the team has no intention of letting him go down to rest.

At the beginning of the last quarter, the shooting percentages of both teams were not high.

102:96! The Timberwolves look better.

The two coaches called for various timeouts. In the end, Walton only had one timeout left.

And the other party has not paused.

LaVine walked back and sat down to rest directly. The coach and players gathered around him to discuss tactics, which saves LaVine the step of standing and listening to the coach's instructions.

Everyone on the Warriors team is very excited!
