Chapter 266 1 Paradise, 1 Hell

Who would have thought that it would be a heaven and a hell.

Shou Ye was actually mentally prepared, but he didn't expect to lose so badly, and he was behind the whole game, not leading even once.

The visiting team's locker room after the game was particularly quiet, which was in stark contrast to the joy after the last win.

Adelman began to comfort everyone, but it was obvious that his chicken soup skill was not enough, and he needed to learn from the "soup expert" Lao Li, and the effect was very limited.

Everyone left soon, and Shou Ye planned to leave too, but Ashuai stayed behind.

"Coach, what are you doing again?" Shou Ye asked in his heart.He really felt that this was more and more like "Plums in the Melon Field", obviously nothing happened, which made the two of them really flirt.

Fortunately, Adelman did not let Shou Ye go to his room this time, but chatted in the locker room, which made Shou Ye heave a sigh of relief.

It’s fine not to go to your room, no matter how old the wine is in your room, I won’t go, this is not drinking, this is my innocence!

Adelman looked at Shou Ye in deep thought, and asked suspiciously, "Are you feeling well, Tom?"

Shou Ye recovered and explained again and again: "No, I was thinking about the game just now."

Shou Ye's explanation made Adelman very admired, he was so dedicated, and had the opportunity to ask Jack Ma to ask for a special blessing to give to the beast.

"Tom, what do you think of this game?" Adelman is now more and more concerned about Shou Ye's views on the game. Some aspects of this young man's understanding of the game amazed him.

"We were suppressed both offensively and defensively in this game. First of all, we did not match the opponent in terms of strength. Our strength was originally inferior. If we can't match the aggressive strength, it is a matter of course to lose. On the offensive end, we still played. It’s too simple. If you don’t make it a few times, you will lose confidence. On the contrary, you will make more mistakes. We need to be more determined in the next game. Anyway, we are not ashamed to lose to them. We must fight with the mentality of fighting them. As for the defensive end, we need to be smarter, there were too many fouls this time, and I was a little impulsive, some fouls are unnecessary." Shou Ye said.

Adelman felt that what Shou Ye said was very pertinent, and he didn't teach him how to do it aggressively, but just asked some questions.

"Tom, do you think we need to keep guarding Russ this way?" Adelman asked.

Shou Ye smiled and said, "Coach, we don't defend like this. With our current defensive resources, can we limit KD and Russ at the same time?"

Adelman nodded, of course he understood.The Timberwolves' defensive resources are still too limited, and there is a lack of defensive gates inside and outside the line. Facing the super personal ability of Dewey's second young master, if they simply defend one-on-one, there is a high probability of being blown up.If they all use pincer attack, there are not enough defenders, so there is no way to defend them.So at the moment, looking at Westbrook's anti-surveillance and flanking Durant is the team's highest level of coping strategy.Because you can't completely ignore Ibaka Sefolosha and others, if you let them eat enough, the game will still be lost.

The detailed discussion with Shou Ye has also benefited Adelman. He has a lot of work to do now. The team's game reflects many problems at both ends of the offense and defense, and he and his team need to solve them one by one.

On April 4, the Timberwolves took a plane back to Minneapolis to prepare for the G26 and G3 series against the Thunder.

Although there are more points in the playoffs than in the regular season, Shouye only got 5215 points in the last game because of the loss + mediocre performance. Compared with the first game, it is heaven and earth.

But he can't do anything, he can't guarantee to win every game, and he can still play a highlight performance that breaks his personal record.

Back in Minneapolis, the Timberwolves began training and preparing for the game.

Stealing a victory in the away game is supposed to be a very good result, after all, it has regained the home court advantage.But the disastrous defeat in the last game took a certain blow to the Timberwolves' self-confidence.

On October 4, the Timberwolves played at the Target Center Arena.

The scene is already full, and this team has been away from the playoffs for too long.The last time the playoffs were played was during the Wolf King period. After so many years, many fans no longer love the NBA. Some of the unmarried are married, and some of the married are divorced.

Even though they knew that the home team would not go far, the fans were still very excited because this team gave them hope.

The starters of both sides have not changed, and the Timberwolves, who lost the last game, have not changed.

Like the Thunder that lost in the first game, the Timberwolves have adjusted both offense and defense in this game.

On the offensive end, to deal with the opponent's flanking attack, the Timberwolves increased the number of Shou Ye's participation in screens, allowing him to move more on the off-ball side, just like Durant's response to the Timberwolves' flanking attack.The other players were more decisive when they got the opportunity to shoot, and they were not as timid as in the previous game.

On the defensive end, the Timberwolves still chose to empty Westbrook's mid-to-long distance, which increased the flexibility of the defense, and tried to protect the penalty area as much as possible to prevent Westbrook from frequently killing the inside.In addition, they also used zone defense to target the opponent's strategy of madly killing the basket.

The adjustment of the Timberwolves is very effective. The situation is completely different from the previous game, and of course it is not like the first game.Relying on the momentum at home, they played a close match with the Thunder.

The rotations of the two sides were also almost tied, so the score gap between the two sides in the first half of the game was extremely small.

In the second half, the main players of the two sides still played inextricably, but when the second lineup came on the scene, the situation changed suddenly. The Timberwolves' offense suddenly lost power, while the Thunder's side was able to shoot whatever they wanted.

The balance was broken, which made the Timberwolves fall into extreme passivity.In the end, the Thunder relied on the sudden outbreak of the second team to defeat the Timberwolves in an away game, winning two games in a row, and rewriting the big score of the series to 2:2!

In this game, the Thunder will not only overtake the big score, but also regain the home court advantage.

寿叶本场比赛得到23分15个篮板4次助攻1个抢断1个盖帽，但是没有能够帮助球队获胜。

For the Thunder, Durant scored 22 points and Westbrook scored 18 points, but Reggie from the bench scored 20 points and Martin scored 17 points.

Although there was no disastrous defeat, the Timberwolves still lost after all, and also lost their home court advantage.The good news is that Shouye is still able to play stably, the team's adjustments are also effective, and the effect of the zone defense is also good.

In this game, Shou Ye got 8023 points, plus the points from the previous training and the last game, he now has 15024 points.

He planned to wait until he saved a little more to add more, otherwise it would be like last time, and the added value would not change at all, it would feel like a waste of effort.

G4 of the series will be held two days later. For the Timberwolves, if they fail to win this game, they will face the desperate situation of falling behind 1:3.
