In the second quarter, both sides basically did not change their lineups.
This was a tie-break match, and everyone was going all out. Once they collapsed, it would be difficult to recover.
Wang Chen knew this, so he temporarily put aside his physical strength problem. If there was a physical strength problem, he could slowly adjust it in the third quarter.
This was because his information board could not only see the player's touch, but also some of his conditions. His physical fitness could also be displayed in data.
Wang Chen had some understanding of Saunders before he transmigrated. Saunders was a very conservative coach who didn't know how to adapt.
Although he was also the Thousand Victory Coach, he had not formed his own tactical system after coaching for many years.
Moreover, he wasn't good at digging for new players. There were no changes now, and he was still stuck in the cycle of letting Garnett play.
In the last game, it had been proven that Garnett's forceful play was not enough.
The Nuggets didn't have a superstar in the true sense of the word. Even with Anthony's explosive performance, his true strength was still in his rookie phase, and he couldn't reach the level of a superstar.
Although the Nuggets didn't have superstars, they had a lot of players!
There were Anderson, Nene, and Canbi inside. The three big inside players all had a certain level of strength.
As the saying goes, three heads are better than one Zhuge Liang. These three guys took turns to fight, and Garnett really found it difficult to hold on.
Timberwolves 30:42 Nuggets
The difference in points between the two sides was still in the double digits.
Garnett was already trying his best, but the hole in the first quarter was too big. Anthony's touch was too unpredictable today.
Saunders could also see that if they continued to play like this, Garnett would fall into the previous game where the Nuggets 'three big players would take turns to fight.
It was the third period.
Saunders finally let Garnett rest for a while.
Cassel became the core of the match. Cassel had contributed 40 points in previous matches.
Saunders chose to believe in Cassel and buy Garnett some rest time.
Cassel used his own offensive threat to attract the defensive team and assist his teammates.
After a few rounds, Cassel managed to get the score back to single digits.
Beep!
However, not long after, Wang Chen called a time-out.
It wasn't because of Cassel's performance.
"Snow has appeared in Cassel!"
When Wang Chen saw Cassel's snowflake state, he immediately called a pause.
Cassel was simply an unreasonable existence in the series.
Because almost every match, Cassel had a fiery feel, as if a fiery feel was a fixed state for Cassel.
This was simply abnormal.
He didn't expect that Cassel, who had been feeling hot, would finally feel cold.
It seemed that Garnett had attacked too much with the ball and Cassel did not make much of a move, causing Cassel's touch to drop.
"Boykins, go onstage."
"Anthony, take a rest."
When Wang Chen announced the arrangements, everyone was shocked.
Why did he have to go to Boykins when he was playing well?
Boykins was hit by Cassel in the first quarter, so he had been pressed down and did not play once.
Everyone could see how easy it was for Cassel to play against Boykins, so they understood the substitution.
But now, it was a little difficult to replace Boykins.
The lineup had always been Anthony's main attacker. There was no point guard. If Anthony went down, Leonard could be moved to the shooting guard position.
But Miller hadn't even played today, so why did Boykins have to play?
However, no one dared to say anything in the crucial match of the tiebreaker. Even the assistant teacher, Krask, did not say anything.
Compared to unreasonable adjustments, internal strife within the team was a big taboo.
Wang Chen smiled.
He could have played Miller, but there was no need.
Going up to Boykins was just bait, forcing Cassel to go up against Boykins.
Cassel, who had knocked Boykins off the field in the first round, would not let go of this opportunity, and neither would Sunders.
Now that the Timberwolves were behind, they were not in the lead. They had to take a gamble.
This was not only a conspiracy, but also an open one. Even if he saw through it, he had to rush up.
The time-out ended and the players from both teams returned to the field.
"Hmm? What is Wang Chen thinking?"
James, who was on the sidelines, was dumbfounded.
He was still praising Wang Chen in his heart just now, but now, Wang Chen's wave of attacks was simply a negative operation.
It was good that the Nuggets had a slight advantage, but that didn't mean they could give the opponent a chance.
"I hope you really have a plan and not…"
James shook his head and looked at his good brother Anthony with worry.
