Chapter 577: Battle Pack Wolves!
By now, Harden's personal ability has improved a lot. When he first took over the Rockets, there was a lot more talk around him. First of all, Harden is indeed one of the more well-known figures in the league.
But it even felt like a good way to attack at the time. But when it came to the playoffs, the referee's penalty and the intensity of the game at that time immediately fell into a confused situation.
A lot of mistakes increased, but they couldn't score a point at that time, and in such a situation, the Rockets immediately collapsed. During the rest of the past few years, Harden has made a training plan for himself in addition to entertainment.
He's improved in terms of duels and scoring so far! Plus, he's a smart player with a big beard. Who would have thought that a role player on the Oklahoma City Thunder would now grow into a star team leader in the league?!
After just a few dribbles, Harden's judgment was still wrong! Jeremy Lin expected Harden to run for him to make a quick foul, so he left himself plenty of leeway in the move just now!
Griffin immediately took Jeremy Lin's ball and jumped up to shoot and missed, and Love directly made up for the score! 71:64!
Judging from the game in this quarter, the Eastern team should try to tie the score as much as possible! Or keep this point difference with the Western team until the fourth quarter! Because they are all voted on first. So now the most popular players on the pitch!
Curry immediately went to the frontcourt, and Davis took Curry's pass and dunked the ball directly! 73:64!
95:93! The third quarter of the game is over! 125:124! The final score was fixed here. The eastern team failed to beat the western team in the end!
......
Butler was on his way to the Timberwolves shortly after this game. This is a heavyweight that the Timberwolves have received!
"I feel like it's time to take the plunge. There are quite a few players on the opposing side who are very capable. Their record this season hasn't been bad either," Chan and Welch said.
"I think Borg's tactical drill this time is okay. So there's no need to take that risk. ”
"Borg's is really good, and I didn't make any big changes. It's just a few different players."
"That's not too much of a change?"
Welch and Chen were still discussing the matter before the game began. As Welch, who has good defensive drill ability, Chen's tactical play is indeed a bit risky.
Today's Timberwolves starters are Kerr, Gibson, Butler, Crawford, and Brown. On the Nets' side are Mozgov, Griffin, Jonathan, Jeremy Lin and Goodwin.
The current Timberwolves are basically like a tiger after Butler's arrival! They're doing the same thing as the Nets this season. are in 9th place.
That's good enough for them who had a terrible season last season. At this time, Butler chose to come to the Timberwolves during the period when the Bulls were making adjustments. Maybe there will be a lot of changes this season, players, coaches, and rankings.
Crawford and Brown have been in great form since they arrived at this team this season! Maybe they also want to fight for their salary!
Immediately the game began, Mozgov grabbed the basketball directly and passed the ball to Lin. The latter jumped up and hit a three-point shot after getting the basketball directly! It was Goodwin who had just scored! I have to say that in the All-Star Game some time ago, Goodwin sat by the TV and watched it carefully.
He thought that Jeremy Lin would not be chosen. Because it's been that way for some years. Either lost or on the bench. But this year's game, Lin played as a starter in the East.
Such an event and exposure may not be able to catch up in a lifetime. After watching the game, Goodwin went to practice. His thoughts weren't too shaken, but he was a little jealous of them when he watched the game.
I turned off the TV, got dressed and headed for the arena. "Even if you can't make it to the All-Star team, this season you have to make the playoffs in the East with the team and then go to the finals in the East!" With that in mind, Goodwin continued to practice basketball.
The young man looked up to Jeremy Lin so much, but he didn't notice that the kids in his area were looking up to him when he started signing a guaranteed contract with the Nets. Although the salary is not very high, it is already a decent income for the working class in the United States.
There is no doubt that he has become a local star too. The only thing that can make the Nets happy in this game at the moment is that there are a group of players who don't look very good, and sometimes the data of quasi-star players comes out!
The Nets have gotten the current lineup after several rounds of screening, but the competition within the team is still fierce! At the same time, they feel that Jeremy Lin's personal data really doesn't need to be pursued too deliberately.
He now has the ability to unconsciously brush up a certain amount of data for himself on the field. His popularity and role in the team have not stopped now, and they are still rising.
Crawford immediately returned to the Nets with a three-pointer!
"I wouldn't be too surprised if this guy becomes a leader in a team one day." Welch spoke at this point.
'He's really good offensively. But there is still a lot of strength and skill to be added on the defensive end."
"This player is fast! Stability depends on how he treats it. Sometimes his sudden outbursts are terrifying! In the third game, Crawford personally scored 26 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists! Now when I look at this data, it's a little hard to believe! ”
"There's nothing too unusual. He still has a lot of experience in the team. The player is now basically capable of leading the team in the Timberwolves. However, I still feel that he may have to rely on the end of his career at the blue-collar stage," Chen was thinking about the player's individual ability at the basic level and thinking back to some of his information.
Lin went to the frontcourt, there were no three-pointers, and Mozgov almost lost it after getting the rebound right away! He suddenly threw the ball high to Griffin on the outside, and Jonathan immediately took the basketball and went to the basket to score points! 5:3!
In this game, because the Timberwolves added another heavyweight, the Nets may suffer in the later stage if they are too persistent in sending only good players in the early stage. So Chen intends to only send some substitutes to play in the first half.
If they do well, it can't be better. But if the Timberwolves take the lead, Chen also has his own plans in the third quarter.
Brown carried the ball to the front court and scored a three-pointer directly against Goodwin! He couldn't believe it when he threw it himself. The expression on his face changed from feeling that he was in a hurry to being surprised. 6:5!
Now in the whole league, the three-point rain mode is more popular! The Timberwolves are working in that direction right now. Butler's arrival may have been even smoother for them!
Butler's offensive efficiency is relatively high, and his shooting is decisive and accurate! At the same time, the defense did not suffer much, and the whole game was full of vitality!
Jonathan immediately adjusted his pace as soon as he took the basketball. The big guy he faced today was enough for him to fight. In the next 3 years, maybe he Jonathan will not be too famous, and Butler is likely to be even more famous!
When he was about to go to the basket, he was covered by Butler directly in the air! Lin immediately got the basketball puppet and jumped 2 points hollow into the net! 7:6!
Now the Timberwolves on the field seem to have gone back to years ago, led by Golden Boy and Love, or to Garnett! The team's form has changed a lot!
After the Nets actively returned to defense, they still let Crawford successfully rush in and score 2 points when they had already increased their defense! 9:6! Today's Butler may not have adapted too much to the pace of the team, and he is still trying to find it himself.
Griffin took the basketball, and Lin rushed in to take the hat off from Butler in another position after Lin got the ball again! Immediately there were exclamations from the scene, and then the sound of cheering for Butler! At this time, Chen Zhen felt as if he had entered a wolf's den!
After receiving Brown's pass in the frontcourt, Butler jumped up and missed the three-point shot in the cheers of the audience. Gibson immediately got the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Kerr, who went straight to the basket and scored 2 points easily! 11:6!
Lin slowly moved up front after receiving Mozgov's pass, and he himself now felt a change in the atmosphere. The opposing player's mental state is not very stable right now......
It's easy to trigger their desire to attack at this time! So as to form a different model to compete with Brooklyn! The last thing you want to see is that the other party unknowingly appears in "mad dog mode"! At that time, it was not easy to win!
Immediately after Griffin's three-pointer was missing, Crawford took Gibson's pass and went to the front court to hit another three-pointer! 14:6! Chen saw it and immediately asked for a pause!
"How do you feel about the new Timberwolves? Egyptian Dius came over, and Teague. Now let's play rhythm and offensive efficiency with them! The opponent's current lineup won't have a problem with us. And some of their players were okay tonight. Get nervous from now on! Cherish every shot. Be as equal as possible with each other and don't fall too far behind......"
After this three-point score, it also had a certain impact on the hearts of the players. Is this a Warriors possession?
Back on the court, the Nets made two substitutions. The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are just explaining that there are times when they want to avoid mistakes. There were no substitutions.
Teague quickly got to the frontcourt, and he saw that Crawford was already following at this point, and when he feintmed to attack, he immediately hit the ground and passed to Griffin, who dunked directly to score points when Gibson was a little slower! 14:8! Such an attack is indeed safe!
Butler held the ball to the front court at this time, and in the face of Jonathan, he rushed to the basket and scored a layup directly with a crushing attack! 16:8! Butler didn't feel like he had lost anything since he left Chicago. He's kind of similar to Lopez, and he's had a good time with the Bulls.
If we talk about losses, the Bulls won't say they have lost anything. At least they cut Butler after they had made a certain decision. When he came to Minnesota, Butler felt the local passion for him!
This kid feels a little too comprehensive in terms of ability right now! And it can play very well! As soon as the team has a crisis situation, he can step up and continue to score to make up for the score that is behind!
However, such a player, he also needs to have a brother who can fight side by side with him! Wade and Rondo were very good partners at that time! It was his first goal since coming to the Timberwolves!
Now he feels the form of the team tonight! He prefers a Timberwolves like this! Everyone acts together to make each other feel the pressure of not preparing in advance! Jonathan just got the ball and saw the opposing player and immediately passed it to Teague.
When the latter made a layup, Butler jumped up again and flew the fan out of bounds! At this time, the scene was about to boil. On the side of the hot Timberwolves, the Nets seem to be a little unmotivated.
Lin took the basketball, and under the bag of Crawford and Brown, he directly chose to break through, and after seeing Gibson coming, he passed directly to Mozgov, who threw 2 points into the account! 16:10!
"Do you think it would be better if you played according to Borg's tactics?" Chen didn't wait for Welch to ask, he just told the story.
"This ...... It's hard to say. My thoughts now are that I feel that your tactics can be used to delay a certain amount. Your adjustment feels correct. Borg's tactics were risky. ”
"My thoughts are the same as yours now. Indeed, looking at it now, I wish I had been wrong once. ”
If the Timberwolves continue to have a strong desire to fight, then the Nets will have to be ready for the next or third quarter. The pace of the game may be much faster in no time!
At this time, the pressure on the players on the Nets' side seems to be a little high. They don't think much about the score anymore. It's just how to execute the coach's arrangement well.
They also know that the more they think about it, the more likely they are to make mistakes. After Gibson's jumper missed, Egypt's Diyus immediately got the rebound and passed the ball to Lin. In the timeout just now, the reason why Chen let Egyptian Diyus come up is that he is still relatively good at grabbing rebounds!
If the Brooklyn side loses too much advantage, the game will basically not be played. Jonathan took the basketball again, and Teague immediately got his pass and hit a three-point shot! 16:12!
Clifford didn't think much of it when he saw Butler asking for the ball and passed it directly. After less than 3 seconds of confrontation with Jonathan, Butler immediately got up and speeded past the opponent, missed the jumper, and immediately grabbed a rebound and ran out!
When Egyptian Dius saw this, he immediately followed him and jumped with him!
