The Timberwolves beat the Hornets as expected, but the fans and the commentators did not expect that the game would be so exciting.

The second half of the Timberwolves and Hornets were widely circulated after the game. Fans who have watched the video of the second half of the game were deeply shocked by the wonderful performances of the two teams.

Many players have commented on the football team, which is a man-made game. This is the most exciting season in this round of playoffs.

With such a wonderful performance, the Timberwolves and the Hornets naturally returned to the forefront.

The media once again hyped up all aspects of the two teams' games. Although the Hornets lost the second game, Paul said to the media firmly, "We'll see you at home!"

Paul put all his treasures on the home court at this time, and the Hornets could only do this. In the third home court, the Hornets could only win, not lose! Because once they lost, they would be completely finished.

According to the records, no team can turn the tables behind 3:0. Therefore, the third game is not only the Hornets' first home court, but also the bottom line that the Hornets must defend, which must not be broken.

The next game between the Hornets and the Timberwolves will definitely be a deadly battle. As a result, the three major TV broadcasters will no longer dare to ignore the game between the two teams. The three major broadcasters are competing for the broadcast rights of the game, but the final game's broadcast rights still fall into the hands of espn.

The Timberwolves defended the home court. On the way to Orleans, McHale gave the team a task of doing everything, not stealing a home court, nor waiting conservatively. Instead, inspiring the team to do something and eat the Hornets in one go. Even at their home court, even in their life-and-death battle, we cannot show any mercy. We must sweep the opponent out without mercy. This is the attitude that a good team should have.

When the Hornets died adjacent to each other, the Timberwolves still didn't want to give the Hornets a slight chance.

The Hornets have to defend their home court and defend their last chance, while the Timberwolves have to kill people. The third game between the two teams has reached a level of life and death.

The Timberwolves team went from the cold Minneso to the warm New Orleans. The team adjusted slightly in the Orleans team, and finally the third game of the first round started.

This is the Hornets' life-and-death battle, so the Hornets' home court is full of supporters, and all Hornet fans come to the home court to make the team's ambition. If you lose this game, the Hornets will be finished, so the fans on the Hornets are very enthusiastic at this time.

The Hornets almost bet on everything. The Timberwolves insisted on killing them all, but while the Timberwolves were determined to kill people, they performed very low-key and did not show too much ostentatiously.

Before the third game began, ESPN's front commentator Magic Johnson and Jaylen Rose sat on the commentary stand to start the commentary game.

Magic Johnson said to Ross before the game: "In the last game, the Timberwolves and the Hornets played showtime. According to probability, it is difficult to play such a game today, but today's game still has many highlights."

"First, what kind of way will Paul play the game today? Whether it is a steady or radical way of playing, it will determine the rhythm of the Hornets. The Hornets played very aggressively in the last game, but this is not Paul's style. They did not maximize Paul's organizational ability, but they were the most effective targeting the Timberwolves."

"Second, what kind of mentality does the Timberwolves play? This is also very important. If the Timberwolves come with the goal of stealing a game, they may lose today because the Hornets are fighting now, and the Timberwolves are a little weaker, so they will not win this game. If the Timberwolves make up their minds and fight, today's game will be more interesting!"

While the Magician was commenting on the spot, the domestic xxtv finally broadcasted the Timberwolves game. At this time, Teacher Heli sat in the broadcast room and said excitedly: "This is the third game of the first round between the Hornets and the Timberwolves. If the Timberwolves win, they will basically win the series. Based on my understanding of Wang Kai, the Timberwolves will not give up such an opportunity. Today's game, the Timberwolves will definitely end, and the Hornets will have to make a dying fight. The game will definitely be exciting."

The advantage of Teacher Heli is that he knows Wang Kai's temper better than the magician, so Teacher Heli really hit it. The Timberwolves will definitely end today, and the Hornets must fight to the death. The two teams will definitely be the strongest collision today.

Before the game, the Hornets made an opening ceremony to increase the players' cohesion, and the game began after the opening ceremony.

The lineups of the two teams remain unchanged. The Timberwolves are still point guard Fery, shooting guard Wang Kai, small forward Gomez, power forward Jefferson, and center Pekovic.

The Hornets' starting lineup was point guard Paul, shooting guard Devin Brown, small forward Peja, power forward West, and center Okafor.

The Hornets did not produce their craziest small lineup at the beginning of the game, and the Timberwolves did not have their strongest mixed lineup.

Both teams are hidden at the beginning, without missing the real purpose, and use their heaviest punch as appropriate according to the situation of the game.

Okafor and Pekovic stood in the middle circle to compete for the ball, and at the beginning of the game, the Hornets still clicked on the basketball.

The moment the Hornets drove the ball, the Hornets' home court suddenly burst into cheers. The Hornets were indeed different when they arrived at home. The atmosphere on the court was completely on the Hornets' side, and the Hornets were also full of momentum when they came up.

Although the team was not happy, the chances were very strict, so they played a very strict inside tactic.

The entire team clearly opened up the space, and finally the basketball pass was in the hands of Okafor who was low. Okafor and Pekovic fought hard in the last game. To be honest, Okafor's efficiency was not high. Now the Hornets are here to play Okafor again at the beginning, which at least shows that the Hornets' tactics at the opening of today must be stable.

After seeing Okafor, he started playing in this position first, and Mr. Heli said with Ross: "Where is the Hornets playing Okafor at the beginning to show an attitude! Or is it a hint!"

No one thinks that the Hornets played Okafor first at the beginning of the game, but at this moment, Okafor took the ball and pressed hard. Pekovic pushed forward with force behind Okafor.

Okafor changed his approach to fighting for power in the last game. With Pekovic's strength, Okafor turned around and shouldered the opponent behind him. He stuck Pekovic behind him, and Okafor made a backhand layup at the basket and sent the basketball into the opponent's basket.

Okafor made a beautiful low-post footstep at the beginning, and the Hornets' home court suddenly burst into applause.

The Hornets boosted their morale at the beginning, and Okafor also used his steps to combine powerful forces to complete the attack.

The Hornets scored a wonderful goal at the beginning, and the team started with a good start. The Hornets had another change in the opening game, and they played another way of playing that they had never seen before.

The Timberwolves came to the end today, so they were very fierce when they came here.

The Timberwolves' first goal at the beginning was in Wang Kai's hands. Wang Kai took the ball and looked towards the Hornets' half. He saw that the Hornets' defense changed slightly, the Hornets' position became more dense, and the team shrank even more powerfully.

The Hornets are betting that the Timberwolves' shooting rate is not high on the outside, so they make the most dangerous gambling with the Timberwolves from the upstairs. You should know that the Hornets' offensive efficiency is the strongest this season, and the outside shooters are pushing one by one. When playing against such a team, the Hornets actually shrink and play. This requires great courage, and it is also a helpless move to be in a cliff.

When Wang Kai saw that the opponent looked down on his long shot, Wang Kai didn't care anymore, so he pulled up and threw a three-pointer.

Since you gave me one step, I definitely can't let it go. Wang Kai threw a three-pointer with confidence, but Wang Kai's shooting percentage today was indeed average, and he missed the basketball shot.

At the beginning of the game, Wang Kai made a bad shot in the first ball, which is not good news.

At this time, Rose in the commentary seat also said: "Wang Kai missed the shot at the beginning and lost such a key goal. Wang Kai hasn't been like this for a long time."

"Wang Kai's shooting rate this season is very stable. It is indeed rare for Wang Kai to not make a shot in such a half-space position!"

The magician also commented at this time, Wang Kai's mistake.

Wang Kai lost his first shot, but his mentality was still the same and was not affected.

The Hornets pushed forward again, and the Timberwolves also increased their defense, and the entire team was culling wildly.

Under such circumstances, the Hornets could not easily pass the basketball to Okafor. Okafor could not receive the ball, so the basketball came to Peja.

In the previous two games, Peja was basically a gunner, and his other abilities were gone at all, and his previous empty cuts and breakthroughs were gone. So when Peja got the ball at this time, the Timberwolves' Gomez immediately stuck directly to Peja.

Gomez believed that according to the previous level, his defense was in place, but what Gomez didn't expect was that after Peja was stuck, he dribbled the ball and then retreated directly to the side with a large step back.

Peja is tall and has long legs. The distance to retreat after this step is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

At this point, Peja retreated far away. Gomez's defense was completely empty, and there was only one open position. Peja took a three-pointer, and Peja's three-pointer was always very accurate in the opening minutes. This time, Peja actually scored a three-pointer with the ball at the beginning of the game.

This time, the Hornets immediately led the Timberwolves by 5 points 5 points, and at the beginning of the game, the Hornets were in the bottom line and three-pointer, which completely opened up the feeling. This made the Hornets cheer at home even more violent. At the Hornets' home court, once the Hornets played two good goals at the beginning, the team's morale would come immediately.

The Hornets' morale is high, and Scott also came up to command the team to strengthen the team's defense.

At this time, the Hornets' defense intensity increased again, but the Hornets' defense was not an aggressive cull outward, but more interconnected and more team defense.

The Hornets attacked well at the beginning, and they fought desperately on defense, while Wang Kai was under the Hornets' focus on guarding.

The Timberwolves can only start attacking from another singles point. Jefferson took the ball from the bottom line and fought with the Hornets West in hand-to-hand combat.

Now the Hornets are fighting to shrink their defense, and Jefferson forced into the low post and there was not much room. Between the arms and thighs, Jefferson was also dizzy and could not hit the target.

The Hornets defended the Timberwolves for two consecutive goals, and such a defense gave the Hornets great confidence at the beginning.

The Hornets came to the Timberwolves for the third time, and they were full of confidence. Paul took the ball and passed the ball steadily to West who pulled it out.

West had a very strong struggle under the influence of his teammates. The moment he took the ball, he forced himself to hit Jefferson. Jefferson got the position and resisted one step, but West had a special difficulty and turned around and took a step back.

"Brush!"

West also made a high-difficulty goal, so the Timberwolves could only call a timeout.

The Hornets were indeed a little crazy when they arrived at home. They played a 7-0 at the beginning of the game, and it seemed that the Hornets were still going crazy. The Timberwolves could only call a timeout to maintain the situation.

When he arrived on the bench, McHale immediately said: "Now no matter what we have to score, no matter what means we use, I want to see the score, but I don't want to see the shooting. I can only shoot without shooting for three rounds and give me a breakthrough. If I can play the inside, the Hornets want to shrink inside and not come out, there is no way!"

McHale naturally saw that the Hornets were gambling with themselves, but McHale was not gambling with the Hornets.

The Timberwolves are in a good situation now. Why do you have to use the Hornets' routine? If you don't let me play the inside, I will just fight, not only to fight, but also to fight fiercely.

So McHale called the first timeout, which was to break the Hornets' tight defense.

At the beginning of the game, the score was indeed a bit surprising, but it was not shocking. After all, this is the Hornets' home court, this is the Hornets' life-and-death battle, and the Hornets' fierce opening game was also expected.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves kicked off at the sideline. This time, the Timberwolves not only played harder, but also became more patient. The Timberwolves began to give the Hornets a higher courtesy.

Wang Kai kicked the ball out on the sideline and gave it to Fye. Fye immediately transferred the ball to Gomez on the other side. Gomez used the cover to break through to the penalty area and was attacked by a sniper. He turned around and passed the ball to Fye.

When Fier got the ball to Wang Kai, Wang Kai also broke through to the Hornets' penalty area and passed the ball to the outside. When the outside was getting the ball and passing the ball again, the Hornets' defense was a little scattered, because Gomez and Wang Kai had repeatedly hit their inside. At the moment when the Hornets' defense was scattered, Fier passed a good ball, and the basketball was directly given to Pekovic, who was cutting the inside. Pekovic took the ball and turned around and made a layup, and was finally scored two points by the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves' scoring finally came. These two points came a little late and it was a bit difficult. In order to win these two points, the Timberwolves used many breakthroughs and multiple passes. They were definitely not achieved overnight. They wanted to get points.

After entering this state, Magic Johnson also said: "The Timberwolves' mentality at the beginning is still a little anxious, and now they are finally in the state. The higher the level of the game, you can't be anxious. Waiting for a little while may be a better chance. Waiting is also a tactic!"

The Timberwolves finally got the points, and the Hornets followed up. Today, the Hornets definitely didn't want to give the Timberwolves any chance.

Paul came up at this time, squeezed the top of the free throw line and raised his hand to make a fake move. Although he shook Foyes one, he did not win a chance to shoot. Paul often pushed the ball near the free throw line. The advantage of doing this is that it is easy to create opportunities for teammates and put pressure on the opponent, but the disadvantage is that it is much more difficult to shoot than to press near the three-point line.

Under the Timberwolves' strong defense, Paul is not able to take action at will near the free throw line.

He could not take action himself, so he could only pass the ball quickly to Peja behind him. Peja is in good shape now and just made a difficult ball, so he took the ball without hesitation and threw it out with a three-pointer.

Peja is in good shape, but not every ball can be shot. Peja missed this three-pointer.

This was originally a good time for the Timberwolves to fight back, but today the Hornets were indeed lucky. The basketball rebounded far away and fell into Paul's hands on the outside. Paul took the ball and passed it back and went directly to Okafor at the Timberwolves' basket.

Okafor took the ball and swung his back to the basket, making Pekovic's center of gravity unstable. Okafor turned around and dunked "Cang!" The Hornets scored again, and scored with a dunk.

The Hornets' home court naturally continued to carnival, and the Hornets' fans are now in a state of madness.

Today, the Hornets arrived at home. With home fans cheering and role players’ magical strokes, the team’s condition suddenly rose. The Hornets were able to play super-level games at home. In this way, the Timberwolves wanted to withstand these things, and the Yale was very big!

The Hornets can still score, and the Timberwolves must withstand the pressure at this time, and resisting the pressure is something that young players are not good at.

Now the Timberwolves still need to fight with themselves. When the Timberwolves reached the Hornets' half, they still implemented McHale's tactics to play the inside, and at the same time they learned from the previous round of experience to pass more balls. However, the risk of passing more balls is also very high. When Foye was accidentally passed to the inside, the basketball was instantly cut off by West from the inside. West intercepted the ball and drove the ball forward quickly again.

At this time, when the Timberwolves were moving towards West, West legend gave Paul in the penalty area. Paul took the ball and hit the ground and passed the ball directly to Brown who followed behind him. Brown got the ball and made another dunk.

"Clang!"
Chapter completed!
