O'Neal played and scored continuously. McGee was beaten silently by Old O'Neal at this time. At this time, the Timberwolves replaced Pekovic, a big tree in the black.

The Timberwolves substitution came up, and Wang Kai got the basketball this round first. Now the team has lost points in a row. It should be the time for the main scorer like Wang Kai to jump out to score and stabilize the situation.

Now Wang Kai takes the ball and sees the Suns’ basket is very crowded, so he first denies the idea of ​​breaking through.

You must be rational when playing on the court, and you cannot force yourself most of the time. So at this time, Wang Kai immediately called Pekovic for cover, and Pekovic came up to cover the cover was still very unscrupulous.

After shaking for a while, Wang Kai will run back. Under normal circumstances, this kind of cover is not of high quality, so it will be more difficult for Wang Kai to do so.

But when Wang Kai walked around and saw Wang Kai smiled in his heart. It turned out that Old O'Neil was not serious than Pekovic, and he didn't save at all, and just squatted under the basket.

In this way, Pekovic blocked Barbosa who was chasing him. Wang Kai leaned forward and reached a little bit inside the free throw line, and then got up to a middle distance.

Wang Kai usually shoots more, but at this distance, Wang Kai is more stable.

Because the distance is too close to the basket, shooting is very sensitive to distance.

The feeling of nearly half a step and nearly a quarter of the step is completely different. Now Wang Kai is approaching the free throw line, and his shooting stability is already extremely high, so he scored two points after taking action.

After winning these two points, Wang Kai immediately thought of something: O'Neal is famous for being a pick-and-roll defense.

Why don’t I use this to frequently shoot small and medium-sized shots at this distance!

Wang Kai made up this decision and immediately returned to the defensive end. O'Neal just exposed his weakness on the defensive end. After returning to the offensive end, he immediately cheered up and wanted to play again.

But now the Timberwolves' inside player has been replaced, from McGee to Pekovic. Pekovic is much stronger than McGeeton. He is a European inside player, tall and strong, and stable in the lower plate.

And he didn't take fake moves, so O'Neal came to play Pekovic with the ball and it was a lot more laborious.

You should know that this matter is at the end of his career, and he has been playing for several minutes and has consumed some physical strength. In this case, O'Neal did not eat Pekovic at once.

When this situation occurred, Sebastian looked at it while watching it, and he immediately chased and interfered with O'Neal.

O'Neal barely took action in the double-team, but failed to score.

Love easily grabbed the rebound from behind and then turned around and passed it to Sebastian. Since Sebastian was stimulated by Ross, his style of playing has changed. How to say it! Sebastian is simpler now, but he is also even more crazy.

That day when he realized that he was not a genius, his faith was indeed destroyed, but after a long period of self-awareness, Sebastian asked himself whether he liked playing basketball. The result was certain.

Since you like to play, it doesn’t matter whether you are a genius or not. As long as you engage in this sport, you can make yourself happy and earn a salary, then everything doesn’t matter. You should still play seriously and find your initial happiness from playing.

As his mentality changed, Sebastian's people changed, he played more quietly and more steadily, and at the same time he became more calm and flexible.

In fact, everyone is concerned about Sebastian's change, and Wang Kai is also happy for Sebastian.

Because once a person is no longer impetuous in his mentality, his feeling of playing basketball is completely different from before.

In the Suns half, Sebastian passed the ball steadily to Wang Kai, and Wang Kai took the ball.

The same trick was used again and called Pekovic's cover. Pekovic had just fought against O'Neal for a while and realized that it would be difficult for him to hit the other side today. He would be much more serious when he came over to cover and use this cover.

Wang Kai stepped into the Suns' penalty area again, and O'Neal raised his hand to defend. Faced with this kind of defense, Wang Kai was not angry, slightly raised his arc and easily shot again and scored two points.

Wang Kai's shot was an accident, but Wang Kai played twice in a row.

Gentry knew that Wang Kai was grabbing the sun's fatal hole and hitting him to death. In this way, Gentry immediately jumped out and shouted to Barbosa that Barbosa could squeeze through the pick-and-roll to defend Wang Kai.

Gentry's command is very funny. Facing the opponent's high pick-and-roll, the best defense is that the big man saves it and cuts off the connection between the ball and the unballed person.

But O'Neal was too heavy and too old, so he could only let Barbosa rush out. From a tactical point of view, Gentry's defense was a helpless move with weaknesses, but Gentry wanted O'Neal to be on the court, so he could only play like this.

O'Neal was tossed back and forth for this time, and when he ran over, his physical strength dropped a little more.

At the same time, he had just fought with O'Neal, and Pekovic was more prepared. He came up to fight behind O'Neal and did not let O'Neal get too close to the basket. O'Neal couldn't get up at this time, so he could only turn around and pass the ball to Barnes. Barnes took the ball and made a three-pointer, but unfortunately he missed the shot.

At this stage, O'Neal, who had been so glorious before, was found a way to curb the Timberwolves.

Love scored rebounds again at the basket, and Love's recent rebounding efficiency is extremely high.

Although Love is short, he has big hands, moves quickly, and can fight and grab rebounds.

Wang Kai really hit the Suns with a weak point. In the Suns' half, he still called Pekovic's cover, and he still wanted to play a jump shot.

At this time, Barbosa could only pounce forward with grievance. Wang Kai brought the ball over and saw Barbos pounce, and he happened to force him to play.

But Pekovic looked at him on the side and with his passionate eyes. Although Pekovic's man is tall, his big eyes are very cartoonish and has a very comic style.

Wang Kai really couldn't bear it and didn't pass the ball to him, so he could only turn around and throw the basketball to Pekovic. Pekovic took the ball at the horn position and threw it directly at a mid-range distance.

Not to mention, Pekovic's shooting feels so soft that the basketball cleanly penetrated into the Sun's basket as soon as it was shot.

After Pekovic made this shot, Gentry was a little stupid. Why? Because now, big men with medium distances in the interior seem to be as precious as gold. It seems that Pekovic can withstand this, and even fewer people can shoot 2 points.

The Timberwolves actually dug out one of them and it will have this effect! Gentry suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

At the beginning of conflicts on the sidelines, should O'Neal be replaced and restored his previous small ball tactics.

Just as Gentry was hesitating, the Suns hit again and finally shifted the focus of the offense from O'Neal to Nash. I took the ball and rushed left and right, disrupting the Timberwolves' defense in succession, and then suddenly made a layup and scored two points.

I finally scored a score, but I saw Wang Kai reaching the Timberwolves' half and called another high-level cover.

This time Gentry was going crazy! He screamed and told Barbosa to stop Wang Kai. Barbosa was really desperate to pounce.

But when Barbosa was completely attached to Wang Kai, Wang Kai jumped to the other side of Pekovic's body, so Wang Kai completely stopped Barbosa.

Barbosa posted too hard, so Wang Kai easily passed him. Barbosa Wang Kai faced O'Neal who was moving slowly, used a European step to easily play O'Neal, and then easily made a layup and scored 2 points.

Wang Kai really used O'Neal as an Atm machine here, and he could get points every time he played.

Moreover, it was all the part that O'Neal couldn't defend, but it was just a weak spot. Wang Kai not only hit O'Neal's weakness, but also hit the Suns' weakness. The Suns' original defense was not very good, but now they were caught and hit to death, so Gentry was shaken.

At this time, Gentry's best choice is to let O'Neal go off the court, but O'Neal didn't play much for a while at this time. He didn't dare to make such a decision, so he could only let O'Neal continue on the court, and at the same time let Barnes and Stan save to help defend.

Barnes had no complaints, and Sir had no complaints either, but Sir's own defense was not very good. It was completely nonsense to ask him to help with the defense. At this time, the Suns were completely dragged down by O'Neal.

O'Neal couldn't withstand Pekovic's top defense and the double-teams of other Timberwolves players, so he couldn't save on defense. As long as the Timberwolves played high pick-and-roll, they could play very excitedly. So it was seen that the Timberwolves used this loophole to score in succession. At first, it was Wang Kai, and later Sebastian and Gomez also learned it. They also called Pekovic's pick-and-roll, and then easily scored points from O'Neal.

In this way, in the second half of the second quarter, the Timberwolves had already led the Suns by 10 points with 47:37.

10 points are a line, and the gap between the double digits and the gap between the single digits have a completely different feeling.

When the Timberwolves led by 10 points, the Suns were under great pressure. When the Timberwolves saw that they were 10 points ahead, they were much more happy.

It was also at this time that Hubby Brown finally started talking about the Black Sun again.

"I said that the Suns introduced O'Neal to damage the offense, and the Suns did not gain better defense. When they introduced O'Neal, they did not make any great progress in offense or defense." Gentry saw that he couldn't hold on anymore, so he called a timeout and finally replaced O'Neal who had been playing for 7 minutes.

Then he replaced Dior who could fight, grab and pass the ball. When Gentry replaced Dior, Whitman replaced Love and replaced Jefferson who had been resting for 10 minutes.

The Timberwolves now have a lot of inside resources and can play in rotation, which is a capital that many teams do not have.

When the sun returns, the style changes immediately, and the sun becomes the complete Nash sun.

I took the ball over and passed the ball to Dior who was supporting him at a high position. Dior took the ball and did not move around. I waited behind me before returning the ball to me.

I took the ball to the Timberwolves' basket, but I couldn't get in, so I could only pass the ball to Hill who had just come up outside. Hill didn't play randomly with the ball, and took a look and waited for Nash to run out and then passed the ball to Nash.

At this time, I took the ball and finally found the opportunity. After Hill passed the ball, he immediately ran to the bottom line. He immediately passed the ball to Hill.

Hill took the ball while marching, and faced Pekovic who saved, and scored two points.

Pekovic had made great contributions before, but now he is helping defend people, his ability is a little less.

The overall system of the Sun with Nash as the core is also shown. With this system, the Sun's score is not a problem.

But now the Timberwolves are ahead, and the Timberwolves have also captured some of the pulses of the sun.

The Suns' lineup is not balanced, especially in the inside defense. As long as they hit the Suns' weakness to death, the Suns have no choice.

So Wang Kai came over and got Sbastian's pass and immediately gave Jefferson to the inside, asking Jefferson and S to fight one-on-one.

Sir S and Jefferson are two types of power forwards. Although they both have a rich attacking skills, Sir Sir's style is more open and close, while Jefferson's playing style is delicate and tactful. Many detailed techniques can only be seen in the past video tapes, but there is still a heritage in Jefferson.

At this time, Jefferson got the basketball, which was also very retro in the back seat, then immediately shook his left and right shoulders, and suddenly threw a throw shot that erased the board.

Jefferson used this delicate style to play basketball, but Sir could not defend at all, or Sir didn't focus on defense at all.

Jefferson easily scored two points, and the Suns' previous score was completely in vain.

The ball rights returned to the Sun's hand, and the rhythm of the Sun's holding the ball at this time was different from before.

After getting the ball, the sun immediately pushed forward. Nash seemed to be like a wind in the middle. At this time, Nash's condition was still at the end of his peak, and his speed was completely incomparable to Nash now.

Nash suddenly rushed to the Timberwolves' half. When the Timberwolves' players gathered to surround Nash, Nash turned around and passed the ball to Hill who followed up. Hill made a steadily three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

"brush!"

Hill immediately made a three-pointer, O'Neal, and after changing to the Suns' ball before the Suns, the Suns' score was immediately cleared. The speed was very fast and the score was very easy. At this time, the Timberwolves seized the weakness of the Suns' inability to defend the inside.

After coming again, Wang Kai did not break through and did not make a small jump shot. Instead, he suddenly reached the baseline and then turned to the back-on attack.

Wang Kai got the ball on his back, sat in the Suns' penalty area after two strokes in the back seat, and then suddenly turned over and got into the Suns' basket and scored two points.

Without O'Neal, the Suns' inside defense quality dropped sharply, or the Suns' original inside defense quality was not very good.

The inside offense composed of Sir and Dior is more gorgeous, but it is not firm enough on the defensive end.

In the next period of the second quarter, although the score was not difficult, the Timberwolves could not defend against the defense. Without defense, there was no way to chase points, so at the end of the first half, the Suns just did not allow the score difference to widen.

At the end of the first half, the Timberwolves still led the Suns by 10 points with 53:43.

At the end of the first half, both teams returned to the locker room.
