Chapter 94: Timberwolves without Li Qiang

In Game 31, the Timberwolves are about to play against the Clippers. For the Clippers, Li Qiang's deepest impression is that Griffin, a muscular man, has always liked to dunk on the inside. And the speed of that new little man, Chris Paul. However, Li Qiang was not worried about this at all.

However, the night before the game, Li Qiang suddenly received news from home, saying that his mother suddenly had a serious cold and wanted Li Qiang to go back to visit her when he was free.

For his parents, Li Qiang very much hopes to be able to teach them the Yijin Sutra, so that they can be healthy and live a long life. However, Li Qiang did not dare to be careless about the ancient monks' admonitions. After all, the ancient monk had the power to destroy the world, and pinching him to death was like pinching an ant to death. Therefore, Li Qiang's secret of the ancient Yijin Sutra still didn't dare to tell anyone, including his parents.

However, as for breaking the New York Knicks' winning streak of 33 games, Li Qiang is not so unavoidable. After all, a void record is more important than that of parents. And Li Qiang feels that even if this record can't be broken this season, it can always be broken next season, anyway, he has broken a lot of records recently, and it's not bad.

After thinking about it, Li Qiang still asked head coach Adelman for a leave. Adelman thought that this game was not bad anyway, and at the same time, it was just right to see the team's true level without Li Qiang, so he agreed. Li Qiang urgently asked the agent team to book a ticket to return to China that night.

"Let's take a look at the starting lineup of the Timberwolves for this game!" O'Neill's majestic voice rang out again, "Lefou, Gasol, Andre, Pock, Knorr." Hey, where is Li Qiang! The big shark wondered.

After a while, the big shark's voice sounded: "That's the case, before the game, head coach Adelman announced that Li Qiang had something to take leave and would not come for one or two games temporarily, let's wait and see what kind of performance the Timberwolves will have without Li Qiang!" ”

Advertisements began to play on the TV screen again.

At the beginning of the game, it was normal at first, and the scores of the two teams rose alternately. But 5 minutes later, the Timberwolves had a wave of scoring drought, and the Timberwolves without Li Qiang at this time seemed to be unable to play all of a sudden!

In the face of the Clippers' defense, no matter which person's offense is, it is repeatedly ironed! Everyone seemed to be used to having a great man step up and score goals when they were in trouble, pulling a gap for them. There are no empty seats, and the Timberwolves players don't seem to be able to attack all of a sudden! Adelman called a timeout urgently.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves: Clippers trailed 15-25. O'Neal's assessment is very pertinent: "Without Li Qiang, the Timberwolves have finally revealed the essence of their young team. When playing downwind, the offense is still very good, but when the wind is headwind, the Timberwolves have no leadership core except for Li Qiang! ”

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves seemed to recover a little and began to play well. The Timberwolves' interior twin towers, Love and Gasol, finally stepped up and began to lead the entire team's offense. For a while, the Clippers played on par, and at halftime, the Timberwolves were still behind 41:49.

In the third quarter, the Clippers' monster Griffin suddenly exploded and scored three consecutive balls on the inside. There was a ball Griffin that jumped very high and dunked very hard, which knocked out the morale of the Clippers at once. Then, the Clippers unleashed a wave of offense.

In the face of the Clippers' outburst, the Timberwolves without Li Qiang looked very powerless! The defense has been repeatedly blown up! Without Li Qiang, no one can defend the opponent's star players, and no one can interrupt the opponent's rhythm by continuously contributing steals and blocks when the opponent is smooth. The Timberwolves look powerless!

“What’sgoingonwithTimberwolves? Theyaresheepnow!!” Sir Barkley, who had been watching the game intently just now, roared loudly.

In the fourth quarter, the former boss of the Timberwolves, veteran Love finally stood up and carried the banner of the team's offense. For a while, Griffin was finally temporarily turned off, and the Timberwolves scored a few goals in a row.

But in the seventh minute of the game, when Lefu was grabbing a rebound, he accidentally stepped on Griffin's instep when he landed and fractured his ankle! Lefou's was rushed off the field. All the Timberwolves players have expressed their high respect for Lefou's behavior!

In the next game, the players of the Timberwolves, encouraged by the spirit of Lefou, began to attack bravely. However, the score was too poor before, and Gasol was unable to support himself on the inside after the loss of Lefou, and finally ended up losing 68:92.
