Chapter 158: How to Win (Ask for Subscription!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
Garnett caught the dunk in the air.
The score is 2:0
After landing, Garnett yelled excitedly, beat his chest with a fist with his right hand, and found that the SuperSonics had sent the ball out halfway, and Lu Fei advanced quickly, and it was already half time.
That's McMillan's tactic, speed up!
The players of the SuperSonics are younger, more capable of running, and constantly attacking the opponent's basket with a constant increase in speed, making the opponent tired of defense.
Lu Fei had to say that McMillan had found the right direction.
But that's not enough, if you want to win the game, you need to not only attack, but also defend, and McMillan's defensive set-up before the game obviously didn't have much effect.
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "The supersonic team's offense is really fast enough, chasing the Timberwolves' ass and beating without giving the other party a chance to react...... Lu Fei passed the ball and passed the ball directly to Oku in the bottom corner, Oku made a three-point shot, hey, it's a pity that it didn't go in, if this ball was shot by Ray Allen, it would definitely go in, but fortunately Collison grabbed the rebound. ”
After Collison won the rebound, he entered the position to attack, and the basketball was handed over to Lu Fei again.
Cassel bent his center of gravity, his eyes were firmly fixed on the basketball in Lu Fei's hand, Lu Fei was not in a hurry, anyway, there were 24 seconds left in the offense, and he dribbled unhurriedly.
At the same time, Ray Allen and Battier began to cross the run, Oku covered the outside cut, and Olovokandi followed, but it was a three-man defensive change, and Sprewell and Hassell's defense made a mistake in the switch, and Ray Allen came out.
Lu Fei stuffed the ball over, and Ray Allen received the basketball's knife and dropped the knife, and the three points were scored.
The fans cheered.
"Don't say it, the SuperSonics' cover run is really good, I just shoot when I get out of the vacancy, and I can still throw it." Zhang Weiping said.
Sun Yiping worried: "But the success rate of three points is not as high as the success rate under the basket after all, once you don't completely get rid of the defenders, in the face of the Timberwolves' pull, it is very difficult to shoot three points." ”
What Sun Yiping is talking about is the defense under the current rules, and the blowing penalty for fouls on outside shooting is not severe, while the outside defenders have a lot of small actions, and the shooting rate of three-point shots is significantly lower than that of the basket.
"So the SuperSonics have to do something on the defensive end." Zhang Weiping nodded in agreement: "The Timberwolves fell into the position again, and Kassel hoisted the ball to Garnett, and Garnett should be relatively simple to hit Collison with the ball...... Shaking shoulders, turning over, jumpers, Garnett's move makes Collison's defense very uncomfortable, although it is said that the jump shot is not dead, but the defense is not in place, it will be fatal! ”
Garnett hit a shot to make it 4:3
Lu Fei knew that before McMillan thought about how to defend the Timberwolves' offense, all they had to do was play every offense and drag the score.
"Lu Fei broke through...... It's over, Cassel is a little older after all, and his pace still can't keep up with Lu Fei's speed, Trenton-Hassel helped defend and blocked Lu Fei's breakthrough route, and Lu Fei doesn't seem to have any chance...... He threw the ball into the corner, when did Battier get there? ”
Sun Yiping was stunned, the camera did not give Battier's position, it stands to reason that he should be within the defensive range of Hassel, but when Lu Fei broke through, there was no shadow of him.
Battier made a three-point shot and the ball went in.
4:6
Zhang Weiping sighed: "Lu Fei's style of play is really not like a rookie player, he clearly knows the shooting position that every teammate is familiar with, just now Oku also showed a vacancy in the bottom corner, but Lu Fei did not choose to give the ball to Oku, because Oku's shooting rate in the bottom corner is not high, and Battier is better at three-point shooting in the bottom corner, which is what a good playmaker should do." ”
Garnett frowned and said to Hassel: "Defend your players well, Lu Fei doesn't have to worry about you, as long as he dares to enter the inside, I will let him taste my block." ”
Hassel nodded, knowing it was his own mistake that led to Battier's goal.
……
Garnett received the ball in the high post, ignored Collisson's defense, and hit a jumper.
……
Lu Fei broke through Kassel's defense again, but did not enter the inside, but stopped inside the three-point line and made a one-step shot, scoring two points long.
……
Kassel suddenly shot a cold arrow and hit a three-point shot!
……
Collison was blocked by Garnett as soon as he shot a cricket basketball, and the ball was converted, and Sprewell broke through Ray Allen's defense and picked up the basket hard.
……
With two minutes left in the first quarter, the score was 27-23, and the Timberwolves took a four-point lead thanks to Collison being blocked and missing two outside shots.
Both sides were replaced by substitutes.
The Timberwolves' substitution of Szzzebiak was hot, and after coming on the court, he hit three three-pointers to stretch the difference to 10 points.
36:26
The SuperSonics only relied on Wang Zhizhi's outside shooting to score three points.
Entering the second quarter, Szzebiak was still hot, shooting inside and out, no one could stop him, and neither Dio nor Simmons was beaten by him and had no power to fight back.
With five minutes left in the second quarter, McMillan had no choice but to replace the main player in advance, hoping to save a wave.
The main players obviously stifled the momentum of the score expansion after they came on the court, but the head coach of the Timberwolves Philip Sanders did not replace the main players, but let the bench continue to entangle with the SuperSonics.
It wasn't until the margin was chased to a 55:44 11-point margin that he waved his hand and replaced the main player in the last two minutes of the second quarter.
The physical advantage allowed the Timberwolves to pull away once again.
At 61:46, the Timberwolves led by fifteen points into halftime.
The supersonic fans were silent all over the court, although they were prepared that the team might lose, but they didn't expect that throughout the first half, the team was pressed to the ground by the Timberwolves except for a brief lead in the opening stage.
Is the Timberwolves really that strong?
Not only the fans think so, but even the members of the SuperSonics team have this question in their hearts.
In the eyes of many people, although this Timberwolves are very strong, they are not so strong that they are scary, and everyone thinks that this Timberwolves must be slightly inferior to the Spurs and Lakers.
Only Lu Fei knows that the Timberwolves still have a 58-24 record this season, even though they only played 28 games due to Szczebiak's injury, and entered the playoffs as the first in the West.
On top of that, Garnett was also voted the regular season VP this season.
The gold content of this VP is still very high, and the main contenders at that time were Peak Duncan, O'Neal and Kidd.
Garnett's first record in the regular season was not played alone, KG's data that year was 242 points, 139 rebounds, 50 assists and 22 blocks, while Cassel also had 198 points and 73 assists, and Sprewell scored 168 points.
If it weren't for Cassell's injury, they really wouldn't have necessarily lost to the Lakers.
But Lu Fei doesn't want to lose, this season has just begun, even if the Timberwolves are strong, so what, isn't the first record in the regular season the same as losing 24 games?
Since you will lose, there must be a way to win.
And the way to win is to defend!
