After the game with the Celtics, Liu Han didn't have time to play with Paul? Pierce reminisced, and the team and he had to leave for freezing Minnesota immediately, and the Mavericks faced a tough schedule before Christmas. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Back-to-back away games against the Timberwolves are hard work, not to mention the opposing team's combat effectiveness, the current temperature in Minnesota in the mid-20s and the heavy snow that has almost closed the airport are enough to make the Mavericks wary.

In addition, Garnett and Cassel in the Timberwolves are now desperately looking for revenge on the Mavericks, and the Mavericks' 34-point victory over the Timberwolves in the last matchup between the two teams made some people very unhappy, and Liu Han scored 67 points in that game, which is the highest personal score so far this season, which makes Garnett and others even more unhappy, and they became Liu Han's background board because of that game.

This time the Mavericks visit Minnesota, the Timberwolves will naturally set up a dragon gate for the Mavericks to "entertain" the visiting "guests".

In response to the defeat in the previous game, Philip? Coach Sanders summed up the experience, let Sprewell or a certain player to defend Liu Han alone is obviously an impossible task, the key to defeating the Mavericks is to limit Liu Han's play, although this is a difficult task, but it is what the Timberwolves must do, and another point is to cut off the connection between Odom and Liu Han, the Mavericks actually hide Odom such a "pseudo-core" in the offense, Nowitzki is more of a terminal weapon in the game, And Odom is the key person who connects the team in addition to Liu Han, he has height, good skills, not afraid of confrontation, and a good career, although these data may not necessarily be shown, but they are real, Coach Sanders studied the Mavericks' tactics in detail after the last game, and I have to admit that Nelson does have his own unique tactical insights.

Another point is that Sanders hopes that Garnett can play a greater role in the offense in today's game, after all, the Mavericks have too many outside firepower points, and it is still difficult to completely defend them, so they can only find ways to attack them, although Sanders has always adhered to the tactics of balanced offense and defense, he is not a too pedantic coach.

Sanders and the Timberwolves planned well before the game started, they felt that they had thought of every detail, but when it came to the game, the Timberwolves still encountered all kinds of accidents, first of all, their own poor performance.

In the first quarter of the game, in addition to Garnett's strong inside attack and high-level jumper to help the Timberwolves stabilize the situation, others like Sprewell and Gary? Trent and Trenton? Hassel has shown little at all.

And the Timberwolves did not defend against the Mavericks' multi-point offense, although it was two consecutive back-to-back away games, but the Mavericks were in good shape today, Trent and Hassell tried to prevent Liu Han, but Nowitzki burst on, he hit two three-pointers in the first quarter, and also caused Garnett's foul on the inside. Although Liu Han was specifically targeted by the Timberwolves, he still used his ultra-long range to hit two three-pointers, and the singles in the low post also made the Timberwolves want to die.

By the end of the first quarter, the Mavericks had led the Timberwolves by as many as 15 points.

Sanders had to let Garnett get back on the court early after just three minutes of rest, and in the second quarter, Garnett led the Timberwolves bench to close the deficit to six points in five minutes.

After that, the Mavericks gradually changed to the starters, and the situation returned to the Mavericks' control.

The Mavericks blossomed more on offense, and the defense was joint defense, forcing the Timberwolves to attack more from the outside, and the Timberwolves, who lacked shooters, were even forced to let Garnetra shoot three points from the outside in the face of the Mavericks' joint defense.

At the end of the half, the Mavericks extended the margin to double digits again, and Liu Han still scored 24 points in the half, although he was more heavily guarded.

Faced with such a situation, Sanders was forced to change his tactics in the second half, and the team originally focused on Liu Han's defense and ignored Nowitzki and other Mavericks role players, which made them unable to fully play their team's characteristics at the end of the defensive end.

At the start of the second half, the Timberwolves returned to the team's traditional tactics, emphasizing the protection of the inside cut, while strengthening the breakout and the strong attack from the outside in.

However, the Mavericks really felt strong today, in addition to Liu Han's stable scoring, Odom, Jamison and Allen McGee all scored three points from the outside, and the Timberwolves did not close the score in the third quarter but were extended to 21 points by the Mavericks.

The suspense of the game in the fourth quarter has basically been lost, and the lack of outside firepower is almost impossible for the Timberwolves to chase points in a short period of time, which is the strength of the Mavericks.

With 4 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves surrendered, at which time they had trailed the Mavericks by as many as 27 points.

Liu Han scored 39 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, and he didn't have many assists today, and holding the ball was basically the end.

All six of the Mavericks scored in double figures, with the exception of Nowitzki's 21 points, all of whom scored more evenly.

After this road game, the Mavericks' record has improved to 20-4 and still maintains their first record in the league.

After two consecutive back-to-back games on the road, the Mavericks can finally return to Dallas, and Liu Han can't wait to return to his home in Baiyan Lake, he now wants to see Anna every moment, which has affected his form to a certain extent, and Liu Han's form will decline every time he travels.

Anna is now nearly two months pregnant, her physique is weak, but the morning sickness is not very bad, but Liu Han is still unconsciously worried about Anna.

In fact, Anna noticed that something was wrong with her after she didn't come last month, but she was a little worried or didn't tell Liu Han for other reasons, which led to the later fainting incident.

After a day of peace of mind with Anna at home, Liu Han had to reluctantly leave home and return to the court, and then the Mavericks will face the challenge of the Clippers, although the Clippers are not a strong team, but the last time the two teams met the Clippers at home, the Mavericks were absent in that game, but Nowitzki was there. Now back in Dallas, the Mavericks are looking forward to revenge.
