Chapter 107: The Calf Divides the Wolves (Part II)
Liu Han dribbled to a high position, and Kassel immediately prepared to paste it, because he noticed that Nowitzki's cover had come, but Liu Han suddenly changed direction and broke through to the other side of Nowitzki's cover, Kassel had to quickly adjust the defensive position to stick to Liu Han from the side, and at the same time, Sprewell, who was defending Odom on the bottom line, also tried to wrap Liu Han.

Just when Liu Han suddenly pulled the ball back with his left hand, and at the same time jumped out of the three-point line with a small jump under his feet, and then calmly shot a three-point shot, the Mavericks tied the score at 22-16 in the seventh minute of the first quarter of the game, and the Mavericks led by six points.
Liu Han's goal seems simple but in fact really reflects his game experience and overall situation, he first used Nowitzki's cover to confuse Kassel, and then rushed to the middle moment of Kassel's center of gravity adjustment and Sprewell to make up for the three-point line before the defense, the whole timing is extremely accurate, this alone is a lot of players who have been in the league for more than ten years can not do, many people use their physical advantages to play when they are young, and they still want to play with physical advantages when they are older, This is a common problem for many NBA players, especially American players.
Liu's three-pointer was his second in the last two minutes, and Sanders had to call a timeout after that goal because the Mavericks' momentum had already started to pick up.
The timeout didn't stop the Mavericks' next momentum, and even though the Timberwolves began to expand to the perimeter in defense, they still couldn't stop the Mavericks from scoring, or they couldn't organize Liu Han to score.
Liu Han's movements are not complicated and chaotic, but rely on the cover or running of teammates to shoot, although Cassel is experienced, but Liu Han has been repeatedly played, which made the "alien" almost make too excited moves, he directly pulled down Liu Han outside the three-point line.
When Liu Han went off the court in the ninth minute, the Mavericks had expanded the difference to 10 points, although the Timberwolves could still maintain efficiency in the offense, but they couldn't withstand Liu Han's three-point shots one after another, and the fans in the target center arena booed constantly, but it still couldn't prevent Liu Han from scoring 13 points in four minutes.
After Liu Han left the court, the Mavericks took advantage of the height advantage of the new Bradley and Odom, as well as the defect of the Timberwolves' over-expanded defense, to play one after another on the inside, forcing the Timberwolves starters to always ensure the success rate of the offense.
After the start of the second quarter, the Timberwolves took advantage of the Mavericks' bench to be too eager to expand the score and played several counterattacks, and the score of the two sides narrowed to single digits, and then Sanders put Garnett back on the court to lead the team to quickly catch up with the score.
The Mavericks fell into a slump for a while, and Nowitzki didn't change much when he played, he was stared at by Garnett and didn't have much room to play.
The Timberwolves, playing at home, did play their own decisiveness and bravery, and they wanted to encircle the Mavericks like a pack of wolves.
In the 4th minute of the second quarter, Liu Han returned to the court, and after he came on the court, he first used an unreasonable three-point shot two meters away from the three-point line to help the Mavericks stabilize the situation, which was his sixth three-pointer of the game.
The Timberwolves are still a strong attack on the inside in the offense, and then wait until the Mavericks pack and then distribute to the outside shot, Garnett looks for an opportunity to grab rebounds and play a second offense, originally they wanted to kill the Mavericks, but the Mavericks didn't have much strength on the inside, and the Mavericks gave up directly in the face of the ball that could not be defended, and then turned around and immediately served to counterattack.
The Timberwolves had to try to contain Liu Han in defense, after all, he is now the most dangerous man for the Mavericks, but Liu Han suddenly reduced his shots and began to pass the ball to his teammates, Nowitzki's form recovered, hitting a three-pointer and a high mid-range shot in succession, and the Mavericks regained an 8-point lead.
The Timberwolves are facing a dilemma, the inside line of Liu Han will be empty, and there will be gaps in other positions, if Liu Han is not clamped, Liu Han is an unreasonable three-point casual score, the Mavericks' current three-point tactics are their characteristics this season, which makes the defensive tactics that prevail in the league now very difficult to defend, after all, many teams pay more attention to the defense of the interior, and pay attention to the benefits brought by shrinking the defense, they don't have too many outside defenders, and the players on the outside are more offensive-oriented, So many teams are very difficult to defend against the Mavericks.
By the end of the second quarter, the Mavericks had extended the margin to 16 points.
Seeing that their home court was about to face defeat, the Timberwolves players moved more and more in the third quarter of the game, and many defensive moves were simply aimed at people, and the Mavericks players were also affected a lot, they began to chase physical confrontations, and began to fight hard with the Timberwolves.
This plays into the hands of the Timberwolves, who are not afraid of physical confrontation, they are afraid of the Mavericks' three-pointers.
However, Liu Han once again made the Timberwolves want to cry without tears, although he didn't look for fouls on the Timberwolves' interior like in the previous two games, or assist teammates to open the situation, but Liu Han's almost inexplicable outside projection still made the Timberwolves cry without tears, and the three points defended by Kassel were nothing, and he even forced three points against Garnett's defense and caused Garnett's defensive foul, which once made the target center arena quiet.
Sanders tried to use a timeout to end Liu Han's inexplicable state, but after the timeout, Liu Han still scored bravely, and by the end of the third quarter, Liu Han had already shot his 10th three-pointer of the game, in the face of such a Liu Han, all the Timberwolves could do was to ensure efficiency in the offense, but unfortunately their too big action made the rest of the Mavericks begin to look for physical confrontation, although the Timberwolves' offense can score, but the rhythm of the game is really messy.
By the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks had led the Timberwolves by 18 points.
In the fourth quarter, all the Timberwolves starters returned to the court at the beginning, and they were ready to fight to the death, and Liu Han's defense was almost to the limit, with Kassel, Sprewell, and even Garnett all beginning to contain Liu Han.
But Liu Han, who has completely played his scoring rhythm, is like a god, he shot three points just after the middle circle, and he can still hit, which makes the Timberwolves on the bench lament, and some of the Timberwolves' bench players even watched everything that happened on the court in amazement, they didn't dare to think that someone would dare to shoot three points in such a position.
117 to 101, this is the final score of the two teams, the Timberwolves lost again without temper, they lost to one person, Liu Han scored 47 points in a single game, 13 of 16 three-pointers, such Liu Han is insoluble for all teams.
