Chapter 1183
Phil Jackson's words moved Wiengaré's heart, yes, why not fight for it? Not to mention that the championship is not completely hopeless, they still have a chance, even if it is for his own sake, he has no reason to give up.
"Alright, Coach! I'll listen to you!"
Phil Jackson breathed a sigh of relief and patted Wayngarle on the shoulder: "Very good, now I have changed my mind, when you come to the court, you will not only look for opportunities outside the three-point line, but also attack their interior if you can." Now the Knicks don't have any interior benches other than Alonzo Mourning. Like I said, try hard, and you have to defend well, not only against your opponents, but also against Samuel Dampot. Remember, it's all for yourself!"
When it was time to play, the Timberwolves players were really taken aback by watching Wayngarle and Phil Jackson walk out of the tunnel together. What's going on?
"Oh, who is this?" Magic Johnson felt a little familiar to the man who walked side by side with Phil Jackson, but he just couldn't remember who this guy was.
"This guy's name is Wayngarle, and he's the Timberwolves' water cooler keeper, Alvin! But I'm also curious how he ended up with Fell, is this guy Phil's Wonder Soldier?"
"Water cooler keeper? Are you sure? Is it really Phil Jackson's surprise soldier?" Magic Johnson muttered suspiciously, "But that's not how the strange soldier is used!"
"This can't be! This guy definitely can't be a strange soldier! Otherwise, why didn't Phil use it in the first two games?" Bill Wharton obviously thought of something: "Although Phil Jackson is one of the most famous coaches in the league, I don't think he has such a strategy!"
"You're right, from what I know about Phil, it's not his style! I guess something must have happened in the Timberwolves' locker room just now, so Feller had to leave Wiengale alone!"
The game restarted and the surprise happened, with Wiengaré replacing Witherspoon.
"It looks like they've really been cornered by us, and even Wayngarle has sent them out!" said Dampoter, smiling happily, looking quite proud to be able to force the Timberwolves to the point of putting on a bench player who couldn't even play the ball.
Lamar patted Dampotter on the shoulder and said, "It's all your credit, it seems that Humpty Dumpty in the first half has been abolished by you!"
Knowing what Lamar was referring to, Dampott tilted his head triumphantly and said, "That's a small thing for me!
Lamar ignored the skinless and faceless second goods, and walked to the arena without looking back.
Walking to the Knicks' half, Lamar looked at Tayshaan Prince: "Tayxiaan, there should be no problem dealing with him, right?"
The little prince showed off his biceps and said very confidently: "Don't worry, I won't let my guard down!"
Lamar didn't say anything after hearing the little prince's assurance, because he believed in Coach K and the ability of the old coach.
Sure enough, less than 2 minutes into the second half, Coach K got up from the bench and called a timeout, and then took advantage of the timeout to make adjustments to the Knicks' on-court personnel.
In order to limit the Timberwolves' group of shooters composed of Ray Allen, Wiengare, Arenas, and Chris Duhon, Coach K sacrificed a small-ball tactic prepared before the game.
Alonzo Mourning's sluggish pace is clearly a big hole in the face of the current Timberwolves' tactics. So Coach K replaced the younger and more energetic Sean Battier on the court, putting Lamar in the center position, and Prince Prince Jr. also played at power forward.
"Hey, Mr. Shakshewski, you can't do this!" Damppoter saw that Coach K still had no intention of letting him play, so he screamed like a monster, "I know you admire me, but now is not the time." I think it's only when I'm on the pitch that I'm at my best!"
"Be quiet, Samuel, sit honestly, sooner or later you'll have a time to play!"
Dampoter knew that Coach K wouldn't change his mind, so he sat on the bench and muttered, "I hope your words count!"
Billups, who was sitting at the back of the bench, laughed and looked at the broken Dampot, and the villain said triumphantly: "Samuel, it looks like you're really going to run naked after this game! Hahaha!"
Dampot's situation is not good right now, and Garnett, although not as hot as the first two games, still scored 11 points in the first half against the Haitians' defense. In other words, with only nine points missing, the Haitian can trigger the condition of streaking!
"Look, what's going on? Wow! The Timberwolves and Knicks actually played the ball, and that Wayngaré actually didn't play badly!" Bill Wharton screamed, "Is he really Phil Jackson's killer weapon?"
"That's impossible, Bill! Just look at the chemistry between Wiengaré and his teammates, they don't have a tacit understanding at all. Although Wayne Carlet's performance was not bad, but Ray Allen's sacrifice was indispensable, if it weren't for Ray Allen who had been helping him attract defense on the other side, this guy would not have gotten such a good opportunity at all!" Magic Johnson saw some doorways: "This must be Coach Phil Jackson's last resort." With the Timberwolves' remaining personnel right now, he really can't help it. Everyone knows how badly Witherspoon played in the first half, and he was taught a terrible lesson by Dampot. ”
"Well, I agree with you, Mr. Alvin. But what's the use of replacing someone who doesn't fit the team's tactics? He will only add to the chaos of the already chaotic Minnesota Timberwolves!"
"Isn't that great? It would be easier for the Knicks to win!"
After the two of them finished speaking, they laughed tacitly, and the taste of schadenfreude was very strong.
"Be careful, don't let me know you're deliberately holding the team back!" Kevin Garnett was still warning Wayngarle in the middle of the game, he was very worried about this man.
"Just take care of yourself, I'm not playing for you, I'm for myself. I know exactly what to do!" Wiengaré didn't even throw Kevin Garnett off, and ran to the Knicks' half to get in the lead.
The Minnesota Timberwolves kick off and the game resumes. The New York Knicks have a fifteen-point lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves for the time being.
After half-time, Chris Dujon handed the ball to Kevin Garnett.
Kevin Garnett stood at the free throw line with the ball, looked at his teammates' movements, and then looked at Prince, who was defending in front of him, and after trying to break through without success, he immediately passed the ball to Wayne Carlet, who was waiting 45 degrees to the left of the three-point line.
Seeing that Kevin Garnett actually passed the ball to Wiengare, the fans at the scene were also surprised.
After receiving the ball, Wiengarle faced Lamar's defense and chose to break through at the first time.
Lamar is nimble and mobile, but that's also relative to an interior player. Now facing Wiencaré, who is nearly 10 cm shorter than himself, under the sudden start of the opponent, Lamar is obviously not Wiencaré's opponent.
Caught off guard, Lamar had to use his body to keep squeezing Wiengalé in an attempt to squeeze his shots.
Pushing Lamar a little inside, Vingare also felt the pressure Lamar gave him, and knew that sooner or later he would fall into Lamar's trap.
Thinking of this, Viengaré suddenly made a sharp stop, and the soles of his basketball shoes rubbed against the floor and made a shrill chirp.
"Whew!"
Although Lamar had been prepared, due to inertia, his body inevitably took a step ahead.
Taking advantage of this gap, Viengaré immediately jumped.
Although Lamar reacted quickly, due to the gap between the two men and the discomfort in his knee, even if Lamar finally rushed forward to try to block, it was in vain.
"Huh!"
The basketball was firmly in the hoop.
After the goal, Wiengale threw his hands up and ran backwards. Sensing Kevin Garnett's gaze, Vengaret suddenly turned to Kevin Garnett and shouted, "I'm all for myself!"
For yourself!
Wiengalé is for himself, so he has to seize this opportunity to fight.
In addition to Kevin Garnett, the Timberwolves actually found a new scoring point, and now the New York Knicks are in trouble!
Just for yourself!
Wiengaré's shouting made everyone at the scene stunned. People looked at him, and then at Kevin Garnett, who was a little stunned, and immediately understood that there must be a feud between these two people.
The two old foxes sitting in the commentary seat are not simple guys, and after a little thought, they understand the trickiness of it, and also understand why Phil Jackson entered the arena with Wayngaré in the first place.
Apparently there was some dispute between Garnett and Wayne Carais when they were in the locker room, and then Phil Jackson, the spiritual mentor, acted as a peacemaker.
After Phil Jackson's mediation, the two did compromise with each other. After Wiengare came on the court, he did ease the pressure on the Timberwolves' side, and he was surprisingly able to bring some help to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Wiengaré's three-pointer from the outside alone was a headache for the Knicks. How to put aside the shooting percentage first, just because of his existence, let the Knicks' group of guys not dare to unscrupulously pinch the Timberwolves' interior line.
Since the Timberwolves have such a person on the court, the defensive energy of the New York Knicks has been constrained a lot. 2k reading web
