"Ding! Status card used successfully! ”

The status card is on Manu Ginobili, this is the last game of the third week of the regular season, and it is also the last kick before the best of the week, whether Ginobili can win the best of the week depends on whether this kick is beautiful or not.

Qiao Hai glanced at the task reward: "A special amplification item, 300 victory points." ”

As long as the task is completed, all the victory points spent in the past two days will be earned, and you can earn more than 200 victory points.

In the target center, Timberwolves fans appeared one after another, but until the end, the 20,000-capacity arena still had a large number of empty seats, and compared to Vancouver, the Minnesota Apolis market was even worse, and if you were to choose the worst city, Minnesota Apolis should be in the top three.

In this stadium where there is no atmosphere to speak of, both teams start and the game is about to begin.

On the Grizzlies' side, the starting lineup is the same as in the previous game, with point guard Mike Bibie, shooting guard Manuginobili, small forward Sean Marion, power forward Raheem, and center Patrick Ewing.

On the Timberwolves' side, the starting point guard is Stephen Marbury in exchange for Trill Brandon, the scoring guard is veteran Anthony Piller, small forward Wallis Zebiak, power forward Kevin Garnett, and center is Dean Garrett.

Some time ago, the Timberwolves broke the scandal of Joe Smith's yin-yang contract, for which Joe Smith terminated his contract and left the team, and the Timberwolves' draft picks for the next five years were forfeited.

For the Timberwolves, it's all worse.

The starting center is gone, the draft pick is gone, and in this game, they can only use Dean Garrett, a 10,000-year substitute, to play the starter.

Dean Garrett and Patrick Ewing jump the ball and the Grizzlies win.

Mike Bibi received the basketball and advanced to the front court, Ginobili circled from the bottom line, and after going around, after receiving the ball, the Grizzlies instantly pulled away, the strong side played one by one, and a group of people piled up on the weak side.

After Ginobili received the ball, he made a breakthrough and passed Anthony Piller.

The Timberwolves were forced to shoot, Kevin Garnett defended it, Ginobili passed a pass to the basket, Raheem received the ball and made a layup, and the two points were in hand.

The Timberwolves serve in the backcourt, the ball goes to the frontcourt, and Garnett singles.

Garnett forced Raheem, turned around and jumped, and also scored!

The opening 2:2 was followed by the Grizzlies' offense.

After serving the ball in the backcourt, it was still Mike Bibby who held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.

But this time, Mike Bibi did not pass the ball, but chose to play by himself, and like Ginobili, he also came to a breakthrough, the difference is that Mike Bibie's ball is a cover breakthrough, so he easily shook off the defender.

Then, a step inside the three-point line was stopped, a jump shot was made, and with a bang, it didn't go in.

The Timberwolves' offense, Terrill Brandon took the ball, controlled it for a few seconds, passed to Wallis Zebiak, and Szebiak's shot didn't go in.

Iron was striking on both sides one after another.

Mike Bibby didn't feel good at the beginning, hitting two irons in a row, and in the next round of attack, he could only give the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili also singled the ball and broke through quickly, and the Timberwolves seemed to have changed their defensive strategy and did not have a pinch shot.

So, Ginobili, who was in a hot state, made a mid-range jump shot, and with a bang, the ball went in!

It was Ginobili's first score of the game, and the score became 4:2.

The Timberwolves' offensive round, under the joint defense of the Grizzlies, the Timberwolves' offense is very difficult, on the Grizzlies' side, Mike Bibby hit the iron one after another, purely because of the poor hand, and the Timberwolves' offense also followed the iron, which is obviously the Grizzlies' defense.

The same is true for this ball, Trill Brandon took the ball for a while, but did not find a chance, and finally passed to Garnett, who forced a shot, but still did not score.

Grizzlies' offense, Mike Bibby held the ball, broke through from the right three-point line to the inside, took two steps, and suddenly returned to the left three-point line.

The Grizzlies' off-ball run also quickly opened up space, and Ewing on the inside gave Sean Marion a screen, and Marion moved from one corner to the other.

However, Qiao Hai kept staring at Ginobili, and he knew very well that although Mike Bibby with the ball, the Grizzlies' biggest threat player was Ginobili, and on the court, Ginobili also rushed towards the top of the arc through Raheem's cover.

Mike Bibby opted for a pass, and he found the opportunity to pass a lead amount.

It just so happened that at the same time as Ginobili ran to the position, the ball also arrived.

At this time, the Timberwolves' defense was all concentrated on the inside line and the bottom corners on both sides, and the top of the arc was empty.

Swish!

With a crisp sound of wiping the net, Ginobili hit a three-pointer!

"Nice three points! Manuginobili scored 5 points in a row! ”

To be precise, it should be 5 points and 1 assist, and the Grizzlies' opening 7 points were all related to Ginobili.

Then, the Timberwolves' offense, the ball was still given to Garnett to play strongly, this time, Garnett hit a mid-range jumper, bang, the basketball smashed on the rebound, bounced into the basket, the ball scored, two points, 7:4, the Grizzlies still led by 3 points.

It's Grizzlies' offensive round again, Ginobili receives the ball, three threats at the top of the arc, Anthony Piller's single defense, Ginobili takes a step, and Anthony Piller immediately turns sideways.

Then, Ginobili quickly moved sideways, Anthony Piller hurriedly blocked it, but Ginobili was a recovery again, and after the emergency stop, he raised his hand and threw again!

With a bang, it still hits accurately!

The shot was a long-range two-point run, with Ginobili scoring seven straight points to give the Grizzlies a five-point lead over the Timberwolves 9-4.

The Timberwolves' offense, Trill Brandon made a strong burst and missed the mid-range throw.

Philip Sanders on the sidelines can't sit still, Ginobili's consecutive scoring is not a big problem, the biggest problem is that the Timberwolves can't score any goals!

Ewing grabs the rebound, and the Grizzlies fight back!

In the counterattack, Ginobili took the ball, and there was no need for Philip Sanders to adjust the arrangement, and the Timberwolves made adjustments on their own and began to frantically pinch Ginobili.

Sean Marion smacked and slammed his hand in the fast attack!

At 11:4, Philip Saunders directly called a timeout!

"7 points and 2 assists, Manuginobili stopped the Timberwolves alone!"

McBrin saw at a glance why the Grizzlies played so well.

Mike Bibby's state is not good, and the state of Shaun Marion and others is also average, but at the beginning, Ginobili exploded, relying on Ginobili's point, the Grizzlies 11:4, breaking the Timberwolves' defense!

"If this state continues, Manuginobili has a good chance of winning a magnificent statistic! Before the game, Qiao Hai mentioned that Manuginobili would be the best of the week in a row, and now it seems that it is very likely. ”

During the pause, Philip Sanders began to adjust the offense, for defense, he didn't have too many ideas, although the Timberwolves' defense is strong, but there is no system, relying on Kevin Garnett's historical level of single defense and assistant defense.

So, he didn't have much to adjust.

With a timeout, Philip Sanders could only focus on the offensive end.

"Trier, pass the ball and don't just play alone!" Philip Sanders found out, and as soon as the game opened, the Grizzlies brought the Timberwolves into a cycle of infinite singles, either Trill Brandon singles, Garnett singles, or Szczebiak singles.

In short, it's infinite singles.

The Grizzlies' strong-side stacked defense happened to restrain the single offense, so the Timberwolves were defended to death.

"Lafonso, you go up, replace Dean."

Then there is a substitution, Dean Garrett is a pseudo-starter, the offense on the field has no contribution, and the defensive end can only withstand the opponent's big center, the game is getting more and more intense, it is better to replace Dean Garrett.

And Lafonso Ellis is a player with strong personal offensive firepower, averaging 21.9 points per game in the peak season, and the rebounding ability is not weak, this season in the Timberwolves, Lafonso Ellis is playing the position of the sixth man, and the playing time is equal to the starter.

After the substitution, the Timberwolves' offense has increased, and the defense has not changed much, because with Garnett, the Timberwolves' defense will not be bad.

The game restarted, the Timberwolves' offense, Trill Brandon passed the ball, Lafonso Ellis received the ball, took two steps, made a layup, and scored as soon as he got on the court, the score became 6:11, and the Timberwolves were still 5 points behind.

Although another timeout has passed, Ginobili's form is still hot.

A mid-range screen, the front court formed a small and big opportunity, Ginobili leaned on Lafonso Ellis with his back, turned a tentative, shook off Ellis, and made a jumper.

Swish!

Again!

Then, the Timberwolves' offense.

Trill Brandon added another assist, this time to assist Wallis Zebiak, who received the ball and hit a three-pointer to make it 9:13 with four points remaining.

It looks like the Timberwolves' offense is picking up.

Wallis Zebiak held up his right arm in celebration of the three-pointer.

Ginobili glared at Szczebiak because Szczebiak had just hit the three-pointer in front of Ginobili.

Therefore, Ginobili directly opened his hand to ask for the ball in the backcourt, controlled it to the front court, and raised his hand to return a three-point shot!

"Wow, just raise your hand and vote! Manuginobili is on top! ”

Next second!

Swish!

It's still a crisp sound of wiping the net, the ball is in! There was an instant silence in the center of the target!

Mav Albert, who was just about to question Ginobili's shooting options, immediately shouted: "It's in!" Three points! Manuginobili unreasonably returned a three-pointer directly! It's crazy!

At 16:9, the margin returned to 7 points.

The Timberwolves' offense, Trill Brandon's mid-range shot missed, and Sean Marion grabbed the rebound.

Manuinobili, who felt hot, got the ball again and rushed to the front court outside the three-point line, he felt that he could shoot, so Ginobili made another three-pointer!

Swish!

In the exclamation of the audience, the basketball hit again like a precision-guided cruise missile!

Two three-pointers in a row! Manuginobili has completely exploded!

19:9,10 points difference!

Only halfway through the first quarter, the Grizzlies' offense exploded, or in other words, Manu Ginobili's personal offense exploded, because of the 19 points the Grizzlies scored, Ginobili scored 15 points, and there were 2 assists, all the points were related to Ginobili!

"It's crazy, Manuginobili stopped the Timberwolves again!"

Mike Bibi was very surprised, Ginobili was in such good shape!

On the sidelines, Qiao Hai also patted Ginobili on the shoulder: "Well done, Manu!" Keep up the good work! ”

……

This timeout of the Timberwolves naturally made adjustments to the defense and implemented a pinch attack on Manuginobili.

After the timeout, Qiao Hai replaced Ginobili.

The game is still very long, Ginobili has been crazy for half a quarter, he is also fighting back-to-back, and he fought very hard in the last game, so there is also a problem with physical fitness, even if there is a status card bonus, it can't solve the physical problem.

Therefore, Qiao Hai replaced Ginobili, and even Mike Bibby, who was in average condition, left the game.

The guard line on the court has become Billupsga Michael Reed, the small forward is Stephen Jackson, the power forward and center have not changed, one is Raheem and the other is Patrick Ewing.

The Grizzlies already had a 10-point lead, and in the next game, relying on Billups' control of the rhythm, Michael Reed's accurate outside projection, and even Stephen Jackson's hard work, the Grizzlies still led by 10 points at the end of the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Qiao Hai replaced Ginobili back, Michael Reid was in the third position, and the inside line was roughly and Rasione Estrovich.

Qiao Hai's substitution is very capricious, but he also has capricious capital, no way, there are many cards in his hand, no matter how he changes, the team's combat effectiveness has always been guaranteed, in contrast, Philip Sanders is a little hard.

He didn't have any cards in his hand, and he couldn't even put together a starting lineup.

Grizzlies made all kinds of substitutions, and he could only use the main force to support him.

But when Ginobili returned to the game, there was another outburst.

In the middle of the quarter, the Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves 17:10, and the difference widened to 17 points, the Grizzlies scored 17 points, and Ginobili scored 8 points and 2 assists.

In the remaining half of the game, Qiao Hai replaced Ginobili again and continued to rotate.

After all, it is a back-to-back battle, and Qiao Hai must also take into account the physical problems of the players, especially the Grizzlies, who have more cards and a 17-point lead, no matter how they are replaced, Qiao Hai is not panicking.

In the second half of the second quarter, the Grizzlies' lineup became point guard Steve Kerr, scoring guard Mike Bibby, small forward Sean Marion, power forward roughly, and center is Jamal Magloyer, a rookie who rarely plays after the start of the regular season.

The main point of attack of this lineup became the approximate position of Mike Bibby and power forward, and Jamal Magloyer also made a couple of half-volleys.

Philip Sanders continued to be the main force, and at halftime, the Timberwolves trailed by 13 points.
