The Timberwolves believed that they had found a way to curb the other party, and the Mavericks gradually understood the Timberwolves' temper.

The Mavericks will start with Nowitzki, who is the only player who is misplaced against any player.

At this time, Wang Kai continued his previous style and double-teamed him when he came up, but Nowitzki was not stupid either.

After he understood the opponent's idea, Nowitzki immediately transferred a large scale. Nowitzki's current passing ability is no longer comparable to that of a few years ago.

Moreover, Nowitzki did not pass the ball to Marion this time, and passed the ball directly to Terry. Terry's condition is not good today.

He knew it himself, so he simply shook it and rushed to the basket to break through. Curry's health was really bad and he had no way to foul again.

Terry made a foul and went to the free throw line. Terry made one of two free throws on the free throw line. A shooter like Terry felt bad today, and he even made one of two free throws on the free throw line. He was so poor that he was dying!

There is no way for Terry to do this. Terry is so invincible, and no one can do it without being able to do it.

41:47, the Timberwolves took the ball and hit the Mavericks again. This time, the Mavericks finally waited for the Timberwolves to play. So the five Mavericks all arrived near the penalty area, and the space outside was widened. Anyway, you Timberwolves were not allowed today. Curry and Love were both shot blindly, so the Mavericks made the Timberwolves shoot.

Curry knew that he was not sure today, and he didn't dare to take action rashly when he came to get the basketball. From the perspective of the ball business, Curry is still very good at judging the situation. He is not the kind of player of the strong player. No matter what the situation is, he will kill himself. Curry is not like this. Curry is often very thief and can use his brains to attack and defend, which is a necessary condition for becoming a star.

Curry didn't take action and turned around and passed the ball to Wang Kai. Curry asked Wang Kai to handle the ball! Wang Kai is the boss of the team, and handling the ball is Wang Kai's ultimate responsibility.

At this time, Wang Kai was holding a basketball. When he saw the Mavericks' defense, he also understood that the Mavericks looked down on the Timberwolves' outside projection.

Curry and Love's shooting are not good today. They are usually the arrows of the Timberwolves' three-point offense. But the Mavericks forgot whether it's okay. Last summer, Wang Kai also practiced three-pointers hard. Wang Kai not only practiced hard, but also found the rhythm of three-pointers enlightened.

Now Wang Kai is still very confident about his long shot, but at this time Marion actually took a step forward, and Wang Kai suddenly felt that he should make the Mavericks more awake.

Outside the three-point line, Wang Kai made a little preparation and made a three-pointer with a great sense of rhythm.

Once Wang Kai made a three-pointer, Carlisle immediately felt that things were not good. What did the US Airlines Center also feel that it had forgotten?

Sure enough, Wang Kai made a three-pointer and steadily hit the Mavericks' basket, 44:47, and the score difference was only 3 points left.

The Mavericks were about to be caught up, and the team began to get nervous. Baria and Terry came over to take turns using Nowitzki's cover to play the pick-and-roll in the high position.

At this time, Teague had already defended well enough, but it was very difficult to completely defend Barrea's breakthrough.

Baria took advantage of the change of rhythm and suddenly hit the Timberwolves' basket. Xiaogang Cannon used his body to resist the opponent and raised a layup. The Mavericks finally scored a stable 2 points at the critical moment.

The Mavericks finally became stable, and turned around and defended a tight defense. After all, the Mavericks still didn't believe in Wang Kai's three-point stability, and the Mavericks didn't believe that Wang Kai could kill them.

Because Wang Kai hasn't come out for a long time to play, but when Curry comes over again and passes the basketball to Wang Kai, it is already destined. The Timberwolves decided to believe Wang Kai's three-pointer.

Wang Kai took the ball from the wing and did not disappoint the team's expectations. He got the ball and threw a three-pointer.

"brush!"

Wang Kai made another three-pointer, 47; 49 The score difference between the two teams was only two points left. At the critical moment, Wang Kai did not disappoint. He pressed forward step by step and got smaller and smaller, ending the stalemate state.

In this way, the Timberwolves stabilized and their morale increased. A good Timberwolves' condition means that the Mavericks are in poor condition.

The Mavericks were chased closely, and the defense was under great pressure. At critical moments, there was still a lack of defensive players. If they did not tighten, they could not defend the basket. If they tighten, the outside line would be too far away. At critical moments, Carlisle could only let Marion save alone, and the remaining four people would keep the basket tightly.

The Mavericks attacked and the defense level of the Timberwolves faced increased again. The Timberwolves were still mainly young players. Once the offense started to fight, the defense immediately became stronger. The Mavericks came over and had no advantage to get involved.

The Mavericks' basketball was passed back and forth several times, and finally the basketball came to Marion's hands, who wanted to copy his back-to-back small throw.

But he couldn't sit still, Wang Kai, and Wang Kai was pressing behind him. Marion could not exert force comfortably, so he turned around and threw a small throw. Because the distance was a bit far, he naturally missed again.

The Timberwolves' expectation of defense has finally improved, but this is based on the team's offense.

After all, the Timberwolves are not as calm as the old team and can keep their anger. The Timberwolves caught the backcourt rebound and immediately launched a fast attack.

The Timberwolves wanted to take advantage of the situation when the Cows were unstable. The Mavericks were really afraid of the Timberwolves' move.

Because they have no defense in the inside and the height of the outside is not enough, and they cannot delay the opponent well, they just see the Timberwolves pushing forward in an instant.

Teague passed the ball to Wang Kai. Wang Kai didn't stick to the ball, so he quickly got to Curry's side. The moment Curry received the ball, he dribbled the ball behind him and passed Terry.

When Guden took a step, Curry took the ball and jumped and folded it in the air, then shot it from a distance and took two points.

In this way, the score between the two teams was tied at 49; 49, and the Mavericks had no leads in the first quarter at this time.

The American Airlines Center was suddenly exclaimed, but a group of players on the Timberwolves were all energetic. The young Timberwolves players who played poorly in the first half were immediately resurrected with full blood.

Seeing that the Timberwolves' morale was rising, the Mavericks were about to have a tragedy at this time, because the Mavericks had very few ways to solve problems, and they could only solve problems through offense, and there was no way to adjust their defense.

In this way, the Mavericks played again, and the basketball could only be passed to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki is facing defensive pressure from the Timberwolves at this time. Once he gets the ball, Wang Kai will immediately double-team because Marion does not have a long shot to Wang Kai withdraws from defense.

Nowitzki faced the double defense of Wang Kai and Love, and he could only turn around and take a step back. The Golden Rooster shot. Nowitzki shot with such a difficult action and his shooting rate would definitely not be extremely high. As expected, Nowitzki missed.

The Timberwolves won the backcourt rebound, causing a foul by the Mavericks again, and Teague made both free throws.

In this way, the Timberwolves took the initiative completely, with counterattacks and insides on offense, and their defensive strength suddenly increased. As a result, the Big Boars suddenly fell into a tough battle. At the end of the second quarter, the Timberwolves overtook the Mavericks by 4 points with 56:52.

The Mavericks finally lost their position in the last stage of the second quarter, but this is reasonable. The Mavericks are already poor in defense. Once the Timberwolves get serious, they increase their intensity on the defensive end. The Mavericks have no way to resist the inside weakness of the targeted attack on the Mavericks.

In the midfield, Ke Fan and Duan Ran also evaluated the first half of the game in the studio. At this time, Ke Fan said: "The Timberwolves are arrogant and have the capital to be arrogant. If they don't play well in the first quarter, they can pull them back in the second quarter. Wang Kai came out to take charge of the overall situation just now, and he won the advantage with a few goals and commands. The Timberwolves are still powerful!"

Duan Ran also said at this time: "Indeed, the Timberwolves are indeed strong now, especially Wang Kai. Wang Kai's command just now was very exciting. He keenly discovered the Mavericks' weaknesses on the court and used them to finally form a tactical style. This is a very mature approach. And what makes people very scared is that Wang Kai is indeed accurate and stable in the long shot. When the Mavericks shrink their defense, Wang Kai took a three-pointer without hesitation, and he is very confident, which shows that Wang Kai's current three-pointer must not be ignored."

"Well! In fact, during the World Championships, Wang Kai's three-pointers stabilized and his style of play was confirmed. Now it's just a re-interpretation, and the Mavericks have just forgotten Wang Kai's existence."

"That's Wang Kai's so successful in making soy sauce!"

Duan Ran made a last joke and both of them laughed.

Wang Kai has been very successful in playing soy sauce recently. The media basically does not report news about Wang Kai. Wang Kai rarely shows up or squirts. Wang Kai is doing everything very low-key, and everything is aimed at the team's stronger goal.

During the intermission, the Timberwolves were still happy, thinking that they had solved the Mavericks so far.

The Mavericks were much more upset because they established a big advantage in the first quarter, but were eroded in the second quarter, which was a big blow to the team.

When he came back from the second half, the Mavericks played a little weak, while the Timberwolves took the initiative while taking the lead in the second quarter. A group of young people on the team played better and better.

Since the Timberwolves took over the game, Wang Kai got off the court early to rest. Wang Kai played symbolically for three minutes in the third quarter.

However, even so, at the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves still led the Mavericks by as much as 10 points. The score between the two teams was 79; 69. The Mavericks' shooting percentage further decreased in the third quarter, and the offense was gone. In this way, the Timberwolves' leading position was natural.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves simply did not play Wang Kai, and the Mavericks did not play Nowitzki.

The main players of both teams did not play, and the Timberwolves' rookie was a little impatient and the game was a bit messy.

One minute of the game, the Timberwolves didn't get a single point, and the Mavericks didn't get a single point either.

The Timberwolves were not afraid of this messy situation because they were already leading the way. In addition, training the team was also the top priority for the Timberwolves in the first half of the season, but when the Timberwolves were in a daze.

Terry was so bad that he was dying in the first three quarters that no one came to defend him in the fourth quarter. At this time, Terry took the ball and used the screen to reach the outside of the three-point line. At this time, the Timberwolves' defense was simply noticed Terry.

Terry competed with him with the ball and threw a three-pointer.

Terry missed a three-pointer before, but he finally made a three-pointer. 79:72, Terry made a lot of excitement when he made such a ball.

Terry's shot like this did not attract the attention of the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves were still the leader of the Imperials when they hit him. Jordan Hill, who had not played for a long time, came on the court and took the ball to the basket. His physical fitness was indeed better than the opponent, but the feeling of shooting was much worse. Jordan Hill missed the shot here, and wasted another opportunity.

While shooting birds on the Timberwolves, the Mavericks got the backcourt rebound and gave the basketball to Terry first.

Although Terry did not perform well today, he still has priority to get the ball wherever he has qualifications.

At this time, Curry was defending Terry. Curry was not aggressive in defense. Terry took the ball and changed direction with one hand, pulled it to one side, and directly threw Curry away. Terry raised his hand and made an unreasonable three-point shot.

This kind of long shot is unreasonable. Most people avoid this kind of projection, but now Terry is just taking action.

"brush!"

Terry scored two consecutive three-pointers, and the score was rewritten to 75; the 79-point difference was brought closer, and Terry finally found the feeling of shooting through these two goals.

Terry is the kind of player who can't let him find the feeling. Once he finds the feeling, he can't stop him.

Now Terry has made two three-pointers in a row, Terry's feeling has been found, and the Timberwolves also feel danger.

McHale quickly called for a timeout, and the Timberwolves needed to handle the current situation carefully.

Terry's state was waiting for a game. Now Terry's state has finally come. The Mavericks also realized the opportunity and are about to change to the main force duel.

The Timberwolves called a timeout and replaced Wang Kai and Pekovic in one breath. Wang Kai was replaced to suppress the team, and Pekovic was replaced because the opponent's inside defense was poor, and Pekovic was able to attack the Mavericks' inside.

The Mavericks are replaced by Nowitzki and Kidd. Nowitzki has comprehensive offensive ability and Kidd is old enough to control the situation.

The two teams came back from substitution, and the Timberwolves kicked the ball from the sideline. The ball was opened. The Timberwolves immediately hit a Pekovic's empty cut. Pekovic came up and then went in and cut immediately. At this time, Wang Kai's pass was right in front of Pekovic.

This was originally an excellent cooperation, but when Pekovic reached out, he actually had a butter hand. He didn't catch the ball and did not make a layup.

The Timberwolves made a sure-fire goal, and the Mavericks caught the backcourt rebound and quickly caught up.

Once the Mavericks came, Terry immediately played a high pick-and-roll with Nowitzki. The Timberwolves' attention was slightly changed. Nowitzki took the ball and turned around to Kidd. Kidd made an open three-pointer and "sweep!" The Mavericks made another three-pointer.

The score between the two teams became 78:79, and the Mavericks tied just one point away.
Chapter completed!
