The Timberwolves are difficult to play, first of all, Towns will play the four Clippers, and no one will be right, and Xiaoka's figure is too bad, just like the Suns are at a loss when they beat the Clippers. To deal with this kind of two-tower team, the best thing is to play counterattack through small guards to find opportunities, empty three-point must be accurate, if it is a forward, you need to have a good ability to make fouls, such as Butler, but the Clippers are relatively lacking in these two types of players. Secondly, the interior defense can't be prevented, which is the biggest problem of the Clippers, and to deal with the Timberwolves, to be honest, you still have to have the kind of center with height and bouncing blocks.
Not just on the twin towers can have a good effect, if the Clippers go on the twin towers, the outside line is generally not so accurate, to be honest, the inside line is honestly not so accurate, at this time the Timberwolves' defense will shrink more to the paint area, and the small card will have less space for mid-range shooting And even if it is on the twin towers, the Clippers may not be able to grab offensive rebounds. It must be admitted that the Timberwolves' lineup does defeat the Clippers, you know that the Clippers often like to make sudden efforts, at this time the Clippers' defensive strength and concentration will be greatly improved, and at this time the offense of most opponents will become very difficult, including the Lakers and Celtics.
The defender is defeated by the striker, the forward is defeated by the center, and the center is defeated by the defender, which is an iron law. Now there are very few super guards in the league, and Harden Curry is too old to train big centers, so it can be seen that the league is starting to be larger. Although the Clippers use Harden as the core of the organization to deal with the team's offense, the essence is still a two-forward team building model, and playing a strong team on the inside is a restrained relationship. Correspondingly, it can be found that the Clippers play teams with strong guards, such as the Suns, Warriors, and Kings, who are basically easy to abuse.
The Timberwolves' two major interior lines, from the perspective of the lineup, are the Tianke Clippers. But none of the Timberwolves' two interior lines is a super interior, Towns defense is actually not very good, Gobert defense is good but there is no star whistle, facing a real super interior, such as Embiid Jokic, can directly knock out the Timberwolves' interior advantage. And the team with super guards, the overall strength of the Warriors is too poor, although the Thunder has Alexander, the overall size is too bad, and the Suns have Booker Beale without defense, and they can't completely suppress the Timberwolves, so they can only say that they have a chance to win. Only the Nuggets, the center position can play head-on, the overall defense is not weak, and there is an explosive guard player Murray in the playoffs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Timberwolves are the team they are most afraid of meeting in the playoffs.
If you have to meet the Erha team in the playoffs, fighting with them on the inside offensive is doomed to constipation. The opponent's long arm is very capable of cutting the ball, so the attack must be simplified. On the punch card Pepper round flip ball heads-up, Harden received a double cover to hold the ball and hit the opposite inside. Two of the three remained on the court, paired with Powell and Coffey, and played 48 minutes. Playing a heads-up game, the whole league wants to say that the resources are better than the Clippers, but there is really none. Fighting wolves, who kept the twin towers on the field for 48 minutes, Wei Shao didn't play for a minute. In addition, Mann started as the lead defender. Coincidentally, the Wolves are one of the few who don't need to be defended, and Conley is a relatively traditional playmaker with not many offensive roles. Most of them go to the front court to play Downs and Huazi. Therefore, there is no need for a defender. With a big lineup against a big lineup.
In short, Tucker, Theis, and Brown, choosing one of the three to play the starting 4 can greatly solve the problem of the Wolves being difficult to play. Choose the one with the best three of them. Don't these heads-up resources Clippers have? As long as the inner meat shield is up, it shouldn't be so difficult. Actually, as long as the No. 4 can shoot a three-pointer in the corner, it's fine (as long as Theis can do that, and of course, Tucker can do it).
When you strip away the things of the system, you will fight for the star level. You will find that the stars of the wolf are Huazi and Downs, if you want to say that these two are very strong, it is obviously not strong enough. It's that simple. Downs is averaging 22.5 points per game this season, and he is very lacking in hard finishing ability. A lot of the scoring is a three-point steal, and just happens to encounter a size advantage to eat. Just like in those years, everyone praised how strong the warrior system was... Is he strong in the system? When we disenchant these things, we find that this body shape is just like that. He is strong in Curry, Durant, Thompson. When there is one less Durant, he is not invincible, he can be attacked.
