Chapter 618: Head Wolf!
61:60! Crawford's arrival immediately changed the situation of the game! The Timberwolves can still maintain their fighting power when some of the main players are about to go off the rest in this quarter!
Lance made a decisive pass to O'Quinn under pressure from the opposition. Zhang Hao immediately cut off the ball in his hand when the other party didn't notice and passed the ball to Black Bean! For Brooks, who played in the Rockets, he is very close to Zhang Hao.
He, like Scola and Battinger, has some memories of being on the ring with Yao Ming. The whole Minnesota team is feeling very excited this season! In constant operation, they get what they want!
Faced with no defense in front of him, Brooks jumped up for three points and smashed it on the basket...... Hardaway Jr., who had just returned, immediately rushed over to get the rebound and passed the ball to Lee. Li didn't have three points, Chen stood there at this time, suppressing his emotions, and his body shook slightly imperceptibly.
"Lee: Is this Brooks possessed?" Chen thought so in his heart. Immediately after Porzingis went off the court, the Knicks were in a mess of the rhythm! If Bo Shen is there, at least the basketball will pass to him, and basically there will be points on offense!
Downs immediately grabbed the rebound on O'Quinn's head and dribbled the ball almost past halftime to pass to Crawford, who immediately dribbled a few times and wanted to shoot a three-pointer, but when he saw Hardaway Jr. coming, he immediately changed direction and rushed in and scored a layup! 63:60!
Such a speed stunned the players on the New York bench off the court. Crawford's form is a terrible player once it opens up! He's also got great speed and shooting and finishing ability!
Such a player is usually an ordinary blue-collar player. But if he really goes crazy, his teammates are probably scared...... There are times when you score 50+ points in a single game!
After Lee took over the basketball, he immediately shot three points after halftime, and the basketball immediately went out of bounds. Chen directly asked for a timeout!
"Crawford and Zhang Hao are going to be packed, and their guards don't have to be too defensive, when they're under the basket...... Lee: What are you doing? Chen saw the absent-mindedness of some of the players and immediately picked one and asked.
"Didn't do anything, coach~" Li said to his coach a little frivolously.
"You just missed two three-pointers by not following my request......"
"Isn't that normal? And I can't hear you, Coach Chen," Li said as he watched Chen Yinan slow down. Obviously, Chen Gang's words made him feel that he had been hurt to a certain extent.
"What? Do you need to bring hearing aids? Chen's words immediately amused the players around him~
"You may have misunderstood me, Coach. I'm fine with my ears but I can't hear what you're saying."
"Ramon! Beasley! Come over and replace Lance and Lee. Pay attention to the opponent's forward line and center, and increase your efforts defensively. Chen and Li looked at each other again, and the game immediately started again!
Chen stood on the sidelines, his thoughts fluctuating a little. Lee's words and the attitude of the players around him at the time immediately came to his mind. Porzingis can't let him play yet, so he has to leave plenty of fitness to play against this strong team in the final game!
Thinking about the later arrangements, Chen gradually concentrated on watching the game again.
Beasley averaged 9.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1 assist per game when he was with the Bucks! He's a good blue-collar player. The technique is relatively comprehensive, and the physical confrontation and shooting accuracy are remarkable, but he is not very obedient on the court......
But now what the Knicks need is the players' offense!
Crawford took the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Downs. Under the defense of O'Quinn and Cornet, since he stayed in the air for a while, he violently dunked and scored points! At the same time, the scene remembered the referee's whistle. Standing at the free throw line, Downs hits the ball! 66:60!
It can be said that the current head wolf of the Timberwolves is none other than Towns! Last season's 26.9 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists are enough to illustrate! Excellent awareness and good basketball IQ and shooting ability all add a lot of points to him!
Obviously, the head coach of the Timberwolves still wants his team to play in this quarter. The team has that strength now! Butler rushed to give it a try and told the coach that he could play halfway through the third quarter, but the coach immediately rejected it.
Ramon took Cornet's ball and slowly passed the half, and Beasley jumped up and hit a long-range 2-pointer as soon as he got the basket! 66:62!
Zhang Hao dribbled to the front court and faced the strong O'Quinn and immediately tossed the ball to Downs behind him. The Knicks haven't reacted here yet, and Downs has already dunked with both hands to score points! 68:62!
Hardaway Jr. dribbled to the frontcourt, and O'Quinn took the basketball and quickly passed it to Cornet. The latter's jumper was unexpectedly missed, and Downs jumped up under the basket to get the rebound and passed the ball to Crawford.
Beasley was directly passed by the other party in the past! With no one in New York under the basket, Crawford immediately made a layup and scored 2 points! 70:62! Beasley immediately went to the frontcourt after taking the basketball and didn't have a three-point shot under Crawford's defense! O'Quinn took the basketball and was about to go to the basket, but Downs directly slapped the ball with a big hat!
As soon as the basketball reached Brooks' feet, Black Bean took the ball and ran. At a time when both teams were a bit bottomless, Brooks hit a three-pointer! 73:62! The point difference went from leading by 2 points to falling behind by 11 points!
The camera is focused on Chen at this time. He was just watching the game on the field, and there were some boos on the scene, which were not loud but could be heard clearly.
At this time, little Hardaway was already a little close to the limit in terms of physical fitness. He slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Beasley took advantage of his height to shoot a 2-point jumper! 73:64!
Hardaway II basically doesn't shoot much now! He's playing with Ramon and Beasley is the only one on the center line who has a slight advantage in scoring.
"It would be nice if Noah could play now." In the process of the game, Chen still thought of the guy who was sitting on the court in a suit and combing his braids today. Although Noah was given several times by the camera, he got the same expression.
Noah has always felt quite annoyed that he accidentally injured himself in the preseason, but he can't vent it. Thankfully, I didn't have a season reimbursement...... He was itchy all over his body in today's game, but he just couldn't play.
Jones carried the ball to the frontcourt, and after Towns got the basketball, he attracted three defenders and suddenly passed the ball to Zhang Hao. The latter almost didn't catch it! After getting the ball, when he saw that the opponent had not come back in time, he decisively jumped three points and hollowed into the net! 76:64!
Butler, Gibson and Teague were there cheering right away! Zhang Hao also had a different feeling flowing in his body at this time. I haven't been replaced yet, so it's really unclear how many points I can get in the end!
Beasley carried the ball to the frontcourt, didn't pass the ball when Kornet and O'Quinn were free, and threw the basketball under the opponent's bag! Jones unexpectedly got the basketball and passed the ball to Downs, and Crawford took the basketball and immediately accelerated past half court and went to the basket to score points! 78:64!
At this time, Chen's mind was quickly thinking about how to adjust the team to finish this section. For now, he still doesn't want to put Porzingis on the line. Just as he was about to signal a timeout, Thibodeau took the lead in asking for a timeout.
