"Do you know what you've done in this section?"

Back on the bench, Minnesota Timberwolves head coach Tom Thibodeau turned blue and pointed to the team's backup center Cole Aldridge: "You let a rookie steal the rebound in the frontcourt and put on a top-level performance. ”

"Oh, Cole, I really want to know, what you think now!" Combined with Cole Aldridge's timidity to return to the offensive end after being dunked, Thibodeau couldn't bear it!

was scolded by the head coach, Cole Aldridge didn't dare to reply, so he could only keep his head down and not say a word.

But he also knew that his performance in the second quarter had completely left a bad impression on Thibodeau's heart, and the consequences of this could be imagined.

Tom Thibodeau was even more angry when he saw that the big man on the team didn't dare to speak, he looked at the other players who had just come on the field, and lowered his tone: "Guys, you guys were disrupted by a newcomer, and that kid had been on the pitch for less than five minutes in total before that!" ”

"Before today, his entire career total was only two points!" After saying this, Xibode's eyes were fierce: "Look at him, we still have the initiative!" ”

Thibodeau was right, although at the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic fought back strongly and played an 8-0, but before that, the Timberwolves had a 22-point lead, and even now, the Timberwolves still hold a double-digit lead.

The reason why he called a timeout was only because the team's current offensive rhythm was completely disrupted by Wu Rui's previous two dunks, and the 2+1 formed by a frontcourt rebound, and the cooperation that seemed to be a mistake, but turned into an aerial relay, made the Timberwolves mess up, and the last three points, like icing on the cake, set off a wave.

Thibodeau's pause is to hold this tide down.

So, when the timeout ended, Thibodeau made a personnel change, Cole Aldridge was replaced by him, and the champion Karl Anthony Downs was back in the field!

"Oh, the Minnesotans don't want to let their opponents play a scoring wave, Carl is back on the court, they're really moving!" The commentator on the sidelines saw the Timberwolves' starting center standing on the baseline and preparing to serve, and shook his head: "With Karl blocking the restricted area, Michael will be magically absent." ”

"Seriously, I'd love to have Carl play a little later, I haven't seen enough of Michael's performances yet." Another commentator was equally unapologetic: "He's the best Asian I've ever seen." ”

The fans at the scene saw the personnel transfer of the Timberwolves, and their hearts were cold, Towns is not Kerr Aldridge, he does not allow a newcomer to wreak havoc on his basket!

In fact, as everyone thought, as soon as Towns returned to the court, the Timberwolves were the first to find their rhythm on the offensive end, and Jones, who was previously thrown away by Watson, also took advantage of his speed, leaving behind CJ Watson with just a few dribbles.

Stephen Zimmerman on the inside line saw Jones come in, so he naturally couldn't sit still and decisively met him, but Jones obviously wouldn't be strong on his own, throwing the basketball high, and Jones's eyes fell on the big man that Zimmerman missed.

Immediately afterwards, Carl Anthony Downs jumped up directly, held the ball with both hands, and smashed the basketball into the basket like a walnut!

"Roar—"

At the end, Downs didn't forget to roar and announce his existence!

"The aerial relay, that's the Timberwolves' talent, they play so easily." The commentator said as he compared the previous Magic's aerial relay: "Look at Tails' just right pass, CJ Watson is completely because of Michael's amazing bounce, and he has one less mistake in technical statistics!" ”

Of course, Towns' role is not only reflected on the offensive end, as head coach Thibodeau requested, the Timberwolves' defense is obviously a little more inclined to Wu Rui, whenever Wu Rui runs, whether it is Zach LaVine or Shabazz Muhammad who can be defended at any time, he will follow up as soon as possible, not giving him a little space to catch the ball.

When the rest of the Magic team attacked, whether it was scored or not, Downs under the basket would occupy the best position, although Zimmerman worked very hard, but the gap in strength was too obvious, and the rebounding ball was not in Downs' pocket at all!

"What's the matter, where's your bounce?" Seeing Jones catching Downs' pass and advancing, LaVine did not forget to provoke Wu Rui, who had no choice but to retreat next to him: "The rocket also has a day of failure!" ”

Zach LaVine's meaning is very simple, didn't some people say that Wu Rui's bounce is stepping on a rocket?

Then from now on, this rocket will fail in this game!

"No, man, rockets will never fail." Of course, Wu Rui also knew what Laven meant, smiled slightly, and responded lightly: "It just needs time to add some fuel." ”

"Come on, that batch of fuel will never arrive!" Dropping this sentence, Zach LaVine suddenly ran back, taking advantage of Wu Rui's lack of concentration, ran out of space, caught Jones's pass, and shot directly with two points, the basketball was impartial and hit steadily.

Shooting this ball, LaVine also pouted at Wu Rui, who was about to chase after him!

The next game gradually became simpler, and the Magic lineup originally relied on Wu Rui's strong momentum at the beginning, but now it was directly wiped out by Downs Gallavin, and the gap in strength was undoubtedly revealed.

And because of the existence of Downs under the basket, Wu Rui had no chance to dunk at all, and tried two outside shots, one to the left and the other to the right, but they didn't hit.

In the middle of the second quarter, Magic head coach Vogel also made personnel adjustments, of course, he couldn't really give up the game completely in the second quarter, and the pressure on the main rotation was almost over, and he also put the starting five back on the court again.

was pressed by Vogel for a while, and the starting five did wake up like a dream and found their form, but unfortunately it was too late.

In addition, the Timberwolves brought Wiggins back to the court to ensure offense and defense after the Magic made personnel transfers, and the rhythm of this game was firmly in the hands of the Timberwolves!

With Shabazz Mohammed hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer, the Timberwolves led the Magic by 20 points at 97:77 in the third quarter!

In the fourth quarter, the two sides of the game played back and forth, but it had little impact on the outcome of the game, and in the end, with LaVine, Wiggins and Towns combined to score 86 points, the Minnesota Timberwolves ended their four-game losing streak in Orlando!

After the game, it was Zach LaVine, who scored 37 points in this game, who was interviewed by the media!
