three five seven old shark(1/2)
Updated: 2012-11-03
After the Suns replaced the substitute lineup, the advantage of the inside was gone. The Timberwolves' inside were Love and McGee, and the Timberwolves stabilized the situation during the substitute.
By the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves trailed the Suns by 4 points 20:24.
The Timberwolves are behind, although they are not much behind! However, during the game, the Timberwolves' sense of rhythm is a bit undetectable, and Wang Kai cannot adapt to this oversimplified tactic. If you are a tactic without tactics, Wang Kai is a little unacceptable.
So at the end of the first quarter, Wang Kai asked Whitman to communicate about this matter. On the bench, Wang Kai said to Whitman: "Coach, you see, we can't play more pick-and-rolls, so we will have more opportunities."
Whitman is more disgusted with Wang Kai always interfering in tactics and team management, and he has a premonition that he may leave sooner or later, so his mind is not on the team at all. Now Whitman's idea is to not make mistakes.
So Whitman and Wang Kai didn't expect to go together. After listening to Wang Kai's advice, Whitman was not angry and said: "You have the final say on the court, but I don't want to see a mistake."
In fact, Wang Kai has been dissatisfied with Whitman for a long time, so when he heard Whitman say this, Wang Kai immediately said angrily to Whitman: "Okay, since I have the final say on the court, then don't interfere with me."
After Wang Kai finished saying this, he immediately rushed over and said, "Listen, let's play more pick-and-roll later. Be a little patient in the offense. Once there is a chance to get a fast break, we are playing fast."
Wang Kai made a play that was in conflict with Whitman. At this time, the Timberwolves players looked at Whitman's expression. Seeing that Whitman's expression was ugly, but he didn't say anything?
At this time, the Timberwolves players knew that Wang Kai and Whitman had a conflict, so they would better not say anything at this time.
Most players avoid this dispute, but Sebastian is not the case. He clearly saw that Whitman had lost McHale's trust and now has a bad relationship with the team's leading star.
In this way, Whitman is basically dead.
So Sebastian supported Wang Kai and said, "I think we should play more cooperation, otherwise the rhythm will be gone."
Sebastian's words naturally aroused Whitman's dissatisfaction, but Sebastian was really not afraid of him, Whitman.
As a coach, Whitman was so angry that he couldn't do it, but he couldn't do it, because now he was at the Timberwolves' home court, and the broadcast was on the side! If he had any moves here, he would be broadcast on TV, and he would lose more than he would. Whitman had to endure at this time, and then he would come back in the second quarter at this time.
The game started with the Timberwolves' ball. Ferjena came over and gave the basketball to Wang Kai first.
Wang Kai immediately called Love's cover when he got the ball. Love still listened to Wang Kai on the court, and immediately moved sideways and gave Wang Kai a cover at a high position.
Wang Kai used Love's cover to get a position at the 45-degree card on the right, and immediately turned around to direct his teammates to cross-cover and run.
Wang Kai was playing ball by himself while commanding his teammates. Under Wang Kai's command, Jefferson found an opportunity to cut in the middle with an empty cut. Wang Kai immediately got the ball into Jefferson's hands.
Jefferson got the ball and threw a small throw, scoring two points for the team first.
The Suns are still a substitute lineup at this time, so there is neither O'Neal's low-post heavy artillery nor Sir's low-profile box.
At this time, the Suns could only play their previous small ball tactics, so the Timberwolves scored, just because the Suns quickly caught up.
After chasing him, Barbosa got the ball and started playing outside by himself. He took the ball and shot directly by himself. Barbosa even hit the ball like this.
Barbosa is a guerrilla captain. When playing as a substitute, he has certain lethality in shooting and breaking through.
Now the Suns lack offensive firepower, and it is the time for him to perform. When Wang Kai saw this, the Suns' offensive firepower was concentrated on Barbosa. He immediately paid attention to the focus of the defense of Barbosa in the next round.
The ball was pushed forward. At this time, Wang Kai saw that the Suns' lineup was really small. His average height was very short. Wang Kai immediately threw the basketball to Love, who was in the inside line.
Love beat Dior with the ball. Both of them were not tall, but Love was still thin and could not resist Dior.
In the end, Love missed the shot. Although he missed the shot, there was McGee on the Timberwolves. McGee was one piece higher than Lopez who was against him, and his bounce and wingspan were also stronger than Lopez. So as soon as the basketball fell, McGee grabbed the first point first, reached out to get a little, and scored two points in a single tip.
After the Timberwolves' two rounds, they deliberately controlled the rhythm for a while, and the fight was indeed much more reliable than before.
The Timberwolves' changes are more obvious. At this time, Huby Brown said: "Now the Timberwolves are playing more stable, so it's normal. It's wrong to shoot completely like just now. Because as a team, you need to take advantage of a misalignment and open opportunity, and you can't just consider not playing more efficient balls."
The Timberwolves stabilized two goals in a row, and at this time the Suns' substitute lineup was still free to attack.
Barbosa still had to play hard when he got the ball, Wang Kai quickly moved over and defended Barbosa himself.
Barbosa accelerated and hit Wang Kai. Wang Kai had nothing to do, so Barbosa dropped the ball immediately.
There was such an opportunity, Corey Brewer immediately picked up the basketball behind Wang Kai and then quickly counterattacked towards the Suns' half.
Brewer is particularly thin and is not very beneficial to the confrontation, but once he runs, he is very fast.
Brewer took the ball and passed Barnes who was defending him. After passing Barnes, Brewer easily made a layup and scored 2 points.
When he came back, the Timberwolves scored 6 points in a row and overtook the Suns. At this time, Suns' head coach Gentry also saw that the momentum was wrong and immediately replaced Nash.
Nash is the soul of the sun. Only with the Nash Sun's system can it be fully operated, so Gentry joined Nash without hesitation.
After the Sun went to Nash, the situation was really different. With Nash's wandering and connecting the Sun's attack, which seemed loose and disorderly, suddenly became orderly.
This feeling is very strange. Nash is very good at putting together several people who had no response. No matter who he played with Nash, as long as you have a skill and are willing to show it, Nash can find opportunities to show your abilities.
The same is true now. Nash ran two seemingly disorderly in the Timberwolves' stadium and suddenly passed the ball to Dior.
Dior moved empty-handed at the bottom line, took the ball and scored 2 points easily.
Nash's hands have the effect of turning decay into magic, while Dior seems to be a piece of chocolate from France, and no matter what, it is as smooth as silk.
Nash and Dior's cooperation looks very soft, and it makes people look so comfortable whether it is passing, running, or scoring.
If the opponent hit someone like this, even Wang Kai would praise his opponent. From the defensive end, Wang Kai went to the Suns' half again to see the Suns' lineup, and the average height was still insufficient.
Moreover, the defense intensity is not very strong. The Suns' defense intensity is not that the players do not work hard to defend, but that there is a lack of connection between defense and defense. The Suns' defense is not a systematic tactic, but that they fight for their own battles.
When encountering this situation, Wang Kai immediately went down to the 45-degree card position on the right to get the ball, and after getting the basketball.
Wang Kai was not polite to the Suns players, and turned around and squeezed towards the basket. Barbosa, who defended Wang Kai, was good at speed and sometimes shot very accurately. But he really couldn't withstand Wang Kai in terms of strength.
Wang Kai stepped into the Suns basket in one step, and Lopez and Dio came out to defend together on the Suns. Lopez was a rookie and came out in one step, but Dio was cunning and protruded half a step.
In this way, Wang Kai turned around and gave the basketball to McGee, who took the ball like a huge ape flying.
"Clang!" Another dunk was completed in an instant, and McGee's dunk was quite ornamental.
This kind of ornamental dunk can greatly increase the morale of the team. So when McGee dunked, the players on the Timberwolves were immediately happy, and the fans at the target center were also happy.
Although the Timberwolves played poorly in the first quarter, the Timberwolves became very motivated at once. They had both dunks and fast breaks!
Once the Timberwolves' morale rises, their defense will immediately become stronger. This time, Nash dribbled the ball and passed the ball to Bass for a breakthrough, and Bass was actually defended by Love.
Seeing that the Timberwolves were coming again, the Suns' defense had not yet stopped. Wang Kai passed a ball to Love who followed up, and Love raised his hand and three-pointer.
"brush!"
The three-pointer was also hit, and the Timberwolves dunked and three-pointered again, and the morale was about to rise. Everyone on earth knew that they could not make the youth team play too happy. If such teams play too happy, they would have no way to suppress them.
So Gentry couldn't help it anymore, and immediately replaced S. and replaced Lopez. The Suns still need to strengthen their attack.
The Suns have never been a defensive team. If you want to play well, you have to start off the offensive.
The Sun changed into Xiao Si. After the substitution came back, the Sun immediately sent the basketball to Xiao Si who was in charge of the far waist position.
Sir S got the ball and turned around and hit McGee directly. Sir Sir's face-frame offense is definitely among the top three among all the power forwards in the league. Sir Sir have all small mid-range shots, breakthrough dunks, and one-step jump shots. It can be said that Sir Sir Sir's three-stage offensive technique is at the plenary session. In this case, Sir Sir has reason to be proud. So he didn't care much about McGee who defended him when he got the ball today.
He shook the ball with a while, and when he saw that McGee's position was a bit off, Serge immediately broke through and took a step forward, and when he got to pull it up near the basket, he was about to dunk.
Xiao Si's dunk is very distinctive, basically because he is better at seeing others, and others cannot reach Xiao Si's ball.
But this time, Xiao Si pulled up and saw that McGee, who was half a step behind him, arrived immediately. His steps were amazingly fast. What was even more surprising was that McGee's bounce was also very amazing. He came over and blocked his head with his left hand.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Si raised his hand and changed the angle of the dunk. Most of the time, Xiao Si was enough to dodge the opponent's block.
But McGee was even more amazing than S. She didn't touch the basketball with one hand, and the other hand immediately waved it.
In the air, McGee still had a chance to wave his left hand and right hand. Xiao Si couldn't dodge it.
Mike hit Little S's ball firmly in the rebounding arena.
"Bang" "Bang boom boom!"
In a moment, the target center finally caused a sensation. McGee's talent was really amazing.
It was so amazing that you could take turns to slap each other in the air. Wang Kai was also watching from the side and laughing.
At this time, Mark Jackson was also a little stupid and said, "This guy! This guy! This talent is really amazing."
Hubby Brown laughed and said, "I said the Timberwolves made two good deals this year. If McGee is well trained, he will be a beast in the league."
Xiao S was beaten by a rookie like McGee, and her face looked extremely bad, but deep down, Xiao S was also deeply afraid of McGee's talent.
Before Xiao Si was injured, she was nicknamed Xiao Ba Wang, and her talent was extremely outstanding. She was in a turbulent and omnipotent in the inside. However, after being injured, Xiao Si's combat effectiveness decreased a lot. In order to make up for her lost talent, Xiao Si practiced a jump shot of mid-range shots and emergency stops to continue the rest of her profession.
Now Xiao Si is no longer at her peak physical fitness. After being blocked, Xiao Si decided to change the way of attack.
After McGee picked up the rebound, he immediately passed it out and gave it to Fery. Fery dribbled the ball and ran out a fast break.
Basketball gave Wang Kai in the middle, and Wang Kai dunked with both hands in the middle, and the Timberwolves made another fast break dunk in a blink of an eye. In this way, the fans in the target center cheered even louder. With the already home advantage, the Timberwolves played better and better, and the Timberwolves' general trend was already established.
Gentry was a little anxious here. Before, the Timberwolves were a typical team. Once they got crazy, the Celtics and the Jazz couldn't stand it. So Gentry quickly changed the players and replaced Dior with O'Neal.
The Suns were continuous, with multiple substitutions several times to withstand this attack from the Timberwolves in the second quarter.
The Suns replaced O'Neal and immediately played O'Neal's low post tactic, allowing O'Neal to get the master in the low post on the left, and then immediately passed the basketball to O'Neal.
McGee was very good at defending Jersey before, but now he has met O'Neal, and he also takes the initiative to come over to defend.
But defending O'Neal is not the same as defending O'Neal. He can use his own steps to bounce and wingspan to defend O'Neal, but defending O'Neal is completely useless.
O'Neal had no tricks to get the ball, just two consecutive steps in the back seat, suddenly turned over and then threw a throw without fast speed.
During this process, McGee had no room for resistance. He could not withstand O'Neal at all. He had to take a step back if O'Neal took a step back. Moreover, when O'Neal turned around, McGee could not jump at all, because O'Neal's weight was too big, completely suppressing McGee. McGee could not play out his wingspan, because O'Neal's horizontal area was too large.
McGee's defense was good before, but he almost had no effect on defending O'Neal.
In this way, O'Neal immediately teased McGee after scoring and blew a breath at McGee. The whole world knows that O'Neal is an old naughty boy's temper, and McGee has no choice after being teased.
