Leon called a long timeout and another so that they were left with only one of the second half timeouts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The Celtic players came off the court and gathered around Leon, sweating and sweating, and everyone didn't look good, and suddenly they fell behind so much, and this is the first time they have encountered this situation this season.

Leon held the tactical board in his hand but did not speak, and a terrible silence suddenly fell near the Celtic bench, forming a circle of silence centered on Leon in the noisy arena.

Sometimes silence is more frightening and frightening than roaring.

Garnett pursed his lips and lowered his head, Pierce crossed his waist and looked at the sky, Arenas was biting his fingers, Reid looked helpless, and PJ-Brown was constantly wiping sweat.

In short, the sudden appearance of Leon, the sudden silence, and the embarrassing situation of trailing by 16 points all made the Celtic players feel embarrassed to face the manager.

"Fu-ck......" was silent for a minute, and Leon finally squeezed a word out of his teeth.

Although it was scolding, as soon as he said this, the mood of the players seemed to be much more relaxed.

"Your defense is a piece of, and I remind you that this game has to be won, especially Kevin. I don't understand why you look like you're not motivated, do you feel sorry for the fans here? Or do you think you're still a Timberwolves player? If you think so, then I ask you to take off the Celtic fans and sit on the bench until the end of the game! A minute of silence was exchanged for a minute of eruption, and Leon first scolded Garnett, who was in a slump.

As soon as he was in the taxi, he felt Garnett's mediocre performance in this game through the live radio, and the mid-range miss and fast break loss just now were directly related to him.

After scolding people, Leon squatted on the ground with a tactical board, and the Celtic players also squatted down and surrounded Leon, Leon looked at everyone and said: "I think there should be no problem with our offense, the problem is defense." Next, we had to close the score before the fourth quarter began, and dragging it out until the fourth quarter would only get us deeper and deeper. So, I decided to use the defensive tactics we were experimenting with in advance......"

Carlisle heard Leon's words on the side, and couldn't help but ask, "Did you use it early like this?" Will it be rushed? If you don't use it well, it will only ......"

Leon stopped Carlisle's next words and replied only: "Can the situation be worse than it is now?" ”

After saying that it was time to take a timeout, Leon stood up and pointed to the bench, ready to start the substitution.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves are still immersed in the joy of a big lead, but Sanders obviously does not dare to take it lightly, he knows that the Timberwolves have been great this season, and the Celtics lineup at the beginning really makes him dare not underestimate.

In particular, the sudden appearance of Fox Leon has caused psychological fluctuations on both sides, and Sanders knows that at this time he must stabilize the mood of the players and even encourage everyone.

But how to cheer up the players may be Sanders's worst thing, and his old-fashioned motivational words and calm tone often make players fall into inexplicable embarrassment. When Garnett was still with the Timberwolves, it was often Garnett and not Sanders who gave the team a morale boost.

After the timeout ended and the game restarted, Sanders did not change the team's lineup, but when he looked at the Celtics' lineup, he was a little confused, what kind of lineup is this?

I saw that after the timeout, Leon replaced Arenas with Ragabel and replaced Pierce with James Posey, so that the Celtics' point guard became Bell, and the small forward was Posey. With the team trailing by 16 points, Leon actually took two offensive arrowheads and replaced them with two substitutes.

Bale, in particular, had barely gotten any playing opportunities in previous games, had less playing time than Wang Zhizhi, and he was not a point guard, so let him play point guard, Sanders doubted that he could possess the ball through the half.

However, the Timberwolves players can clearly feel that the momentum of the Celtics players who are back on the court is completely different from before.

Kevin Garnett had the ball in his hand and kept gritting his teeth and smashing his head, as if he was going to wake up his previous self.

When he returned the ball to the referee, Garnett's eyes were no longer hazy with the fog at the beginning of the game, only firmness and ferocity, and he hammered his chest hard, as if saying goodbye to his previous self.

Posey served from the baseline, Bale took the ball, and then he passed the ball to Garnett, who controlled the ball across half court.

"Stupid, to let Kevin control the ball, although he has this ability, he is not a point guard after all." Sanders was surprised to see Leon let Garnett possess the ball for half the court. He knows Garnett, he's an all-around wizard who can dribble across half court with Arenas, Alston and Strickland.

Sure enough, Garnett dribbled steadily past the half, but the Celtics did not organize the offense effectively, and the outside line was missing Arenas and Pierce, and the offense of this lineup was really a little rushed.

Garnett was busy dribbling and then about to fall into the low post, he made a rare effort to ask for the ball in the ribs, and pushed Walker hard away from him, and Reed hoisted the ball into Garnett's hands.

Garnett held the ball with a clean inside turn, faced Milicic who was making up the defense, and hit the board with a high throw with one hand!

However, such a goal does not worry Sanders, he knows that Garnett is not the kind of super scorer who can score consecutive points, and the 14-point gap Sanders feels is still quite solid.

But Sanders' peace of mind lasted only five seconds, with the Timberwolves serving in the backcourt and Bale defending Kassel, his defense like kraft candy. At the same time, Reid always swam around Cassel, like a shark waiting for the smell of blood.

Soon, after half-time, Kassel suddenly found himself forced into a corner!

He had to pass the ball, but the left side was blocked by Reed, and the right side was ...... On the right are the sidelines.

Walker tries to come up and pick it up, but it is ushered in an even more terrible Garnett, and Cassel makes a mistake! Bale cut off the ball in his hand, which is very rare for Kassel!

Bale passed the ball to Reid, who didn't have any other ideas, dribbled all the way, pushed through Hassel's defense, and barely dunked with both hands to win another two points.

Sanders was a little worried, but he couldn't call a timeout yet, he crouched down while he was standing, and then they just had to score a goal to stabilize the situation.

But this idea was shattered in two seconds.

Milicic misses the throw-in, Posey snatches the ball from Sprewell, and makes an easy layup for another two points!

The Celtics scored six straight points in one minute, while the Timberwolves were cut off two in a row without even a decent shot.

Sanders was in a hurry, he got up from the ground again and yelled at the players to keep them focused. Now that Sanders has reached the tipping point, if the Timberwolves can't score any more points and are successfully countered by the Celtics, he will call a timeout.

And the Timberwolves' players are also a little confused, because the Celtics' defensive position is quite strange, neither marking people nor the ball, but they seem to be marking people and the ball.

There was a lot of pressure on the players who served because it always felt like the Celtic players were in the way of the pass, as if every one of their passing lines had been explored.

Only Cassel faintly felt something in his heart, the Celtics' defense reminded him of the feeling he had when he faced the supersonic speed when he was with the Rockets, the biggest pain of the Rockets when he was supersound, and at this time, the Celtics' defensive style is very similar to the supersonic - it is the amoeba defense!

However, it is different from the amoeba, the Celtics players' bags and positions are very erratic, and they don't want to be as clear as the amoeba, and the two outside lines are to hold the ball.

When Cassel carefully dribbled past half court this time, he began to look carefully, trying to find some flaws in the Celtic defense, as long as it was defense, there will always be flaws.

Yes, the Celtics' defense does have flaws, but with Kassel's ten years of point guard experience, it is impossible to see whether the Celtics' defensive formation is man-to-man, joint defense or packing. They are like a real amoeba, undergoing endless changes.

"Buzz!" The buzzer sounded at the end of the 24-second mark, Milicic barely made a shot, the ball smashed to the front of the basket, and a reluctant shot at the whistle gave Brown a rebound in the backcourt.

This time, Garnett took the lead, he had already rushed across the halfway line, rushed over the free throw line, and Brown made a long pass from great distance, which is rare in the Celtics' offense.

But Garnett received this pass, and no one, no one could stop him!

"Bang!" Garnett jumped three steps from the basket, slid a one-handed dunk, and after the goal, he roared like a werewolf on a full moon night. He's no longer scary about the eyes of the fans at the target center, no longer bound by the emotions of eight years, and now, he's a Celtic player.

"Beep!" The referee's whistle blew and Sanders had to call a timeout, and the Celtics chased eight straight points in two-and-a-half-minute minutes.

Leon got his hair done, and he knew he was right again. (To be continued.) )
