Chapter 270: Naive Dunn

Towards the end of the break, Ade returned to the locker room, and after examination, his knee was fine, just a hard injury, and the pain was fine for a while.

However, Old Man Bobo saw that the team had an absolute advantage, and for the sake of safety, he did not arrange for Ade to play for the time being, after all, Gasol's condition does not know when it will get better, if it is not a special situation, Ade will not have to play this time.

Back on the court, the two sides changed sides, the Timberwolves are still the main offensive outside, and the Spurs are inside and outside, but this time Downs seems to have been instructed by Thibodeau, as long as he grabs defensive rebounds, Downs no longer has his back to the card, but faces outward to always pay attention to Lei Shui's movements, block him outside, he only blocks people, does not participate in grabbing rebounds, does not let Lei Shui grab rebounds, and hands over the task of grabbing rebounds to others.

In this way, it is difficult for Thunder Water to grab rebounds, but the Spurs still have an advantage in the competition for rebounds, except for two point guards, small forwards and point guards, the Spurs have obvious advantages in confrontation, and the number of rebounds has not decreased because Thunder Water does not grab.

Although in the scramble for rebounds, Lei Shui was limited by Downs' self-sacrificing defense, so Lei Shui put more energy on offense, and Thunder Water's ball-holding offense, Downs couldn't defend at all.

In the end, the Timberwolves came up with a way to let Downs defend against Leonard, Wiggins to defend against Thunder Water, although Wiggins is much better than Downs in terms of agility, but Wiggins doesn't like confrontation, Thunder Water can come up with different offensive methods according to the different defenders at any time, and it is not easy for Downs to defend Leonard, more than half of the third quarter, the point difference is getting bigger and bigger, to 25 points, Bobo Old Man also chose to gradually withdraw the main force, Thunder Water off the court, the Timberwolves will seem to wake up, and begin to make a big move, shooting, Counterattacks and violent buckles are all played.

At this time, although the defense of the Spurs bench is not as good as the main force, the offensive firepower is not bad, especially Mills, who has a very strong running ability, and there is a passing demon like Ginobili, so even if the Timberwolves offense is opened, it is not so easy to close the score.

In the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves relied on the strong play of Dunn, the firepower point of the bench, and began to chase points, and after a while, Towns also returned to the court in advance, facing the inside combination of Anderson and Bertans, Downs was unceremonious, and used a suppressive physical advantage to play back, chasing the difference to 19 points little by little, and then the Spurs' two passing errors directly gave the Timberwolves 5 points.

This substitution, the old man Bobo put Lei Shui in the position of point guard, and the position of power forward was replaced by Li, Downs was still apprehensive, this just played smoothly, as soon as Lei Shui came back, he would definitely not be able to bargain, after seeing that it was Li who was in the opposite position, Downs put down his hanging heart, and finally did not have to face Lei Shui.

But this time the opponent is Dunn, Dunn is the first round of this year's No. 5 rookie, to Rubio to play as a substitute, in order to make up for Rubio's poor offensive ability, Dunn can be said to be similar to Wade's strong guard, not afraid of confrontation, different from Rubio's empty blue is not on the pass, Dunn has excellent offensive ability, likes to impact the inside, and has good singles ability, but this is for the average guard, it is difficult to say about the thunder water.

The naïve Dunn didn't realize it at first, because in the consciousness of the Americans, he wouldn't admit defeat at all if he didn't experience it himself, even if he watched his teammates suffer a lot on Lei Shui, Dunn didn't think that this kind of thing would happen to him, thinking that his teammates were all suffering because they didn't like confrontation, and he was not afraid of confrontation at all.

Dunn went to defend as soon as Lei Shui passed half the court, he thought that Lei Shui was too tall, and close defense could affect Lei Shui's ball control, Lei Shui saw Dunn so close, bent down and used his left arm to resist Dunn, Dunn did not flinch, his right hand secretly pushed Lei Shui's waist, and his left hand tried to break the ball.

When Dunn tried to break the ball while pushing Lei Shui again, Lei Shui quickly turned back, and sent his left arm to the side, Dunn was suddenly taken in the wrong direction by a force forward, Dunn used his empty strength to stumble forward, Lei Shui took the opportunity to shake off Dunn and rushed to the inside, under the basket Jia Ang and Downs stood in a good position at the same time, trying to make Lei Shui's offensive foul, Lei Shui was one step away from the two of them and stopped urgently, as soon as he raised his hand, Jia Ang and Downs pounced on the block at the same time, Lei Shui wanted to pass the ball, but found that he was the closest person to the basket, In order to avoid hitting people, the blocks of Jia Ang and Downs turned one to the left and the other to the right, leaving a gap in the middle, and Lei Shui took advantage of this gap to jump sideways, passing between the two, stretching his long arms lightly, turning his wrists, and putting the ball into the basket with his fingers.

Downs and Giang knew that they were shaken off in mid-air, and as soon as they landed, the two began to argue, who should jump and who didn't jump in this ball, both of them argued, and finally put the blame on Dunn, after all, he let Lei Shui easily break through.

Dunn was also very aggrieved, he was trying to defend, but he still had a complaint, but Dunn didn't have time to scruple a lot, the ball still had to be played, and he had to score quickly to offset his defensive mistakes.

Dunn's main role is to impact the basket alone, distribute the ball to his empty teammates if he has a supplementary defense, and go on his own if he does not make up the defense.

But the premise is to break through, Dunn swayed left and right, and suddenly started to break through, although the first step was fast enough, half a body at once, but Lei Shui reacted very quickly, slid sideways to keep up, and always controlled Dunn within his own defensive range, Lei Shui has always been a professional in defense, so his teammates are also optimistic about his own people, no one went to make up for the defense, Dunn thinks that he is in the lead, and there is no defense, attacking the basket must be the first choice, but how to avoid the chasing hat of Lei Shui behind, Dunn has no time to think, Jump up first.

Dunn jumped together, he felt a big shadow behind him, he immediately decided to pull the lever in the air and then change his hand to make a layup, confusing Lei Shui, but Lei Shui jumped very fully this time, Dunn made every move in the air under Lei Shui's nose, such a height advantage does not need to be in a hurry to cover, just wait for the last shot and then make a move is not too late, Dunn pulled the lever to change hands to the layup, as soon as the ball shot, just listen to 'pop! With a bang, Lei Shui sent a volleyball hat.

The ball bounced back from the board, just grabbed by Downs, Downs rushed straight to the basket, intending to attack the basket, raised his eyes to see Lei Shui staring at himself, his heart trembled, and immediately lowered his hand to Ji Ang on the other side, Ji Ang was originally here to grab the board, suddenly multiple balls in his hand, no preparation for a while, just a moment of hesitation, Lei Shui has turned around, Ji Ang's ball has arrived under the basket, not on the no, hard to jump up and try to dunk with both hands, Lei Shui head-on, one arm held the ball in Ji Ang's hand, Ji Ang grabbed the ball very firmly, Lei Shui also held his hand and did not let go, and the two of them held each other in the air until they fell, and the two of them did not leave the basketball with three hands.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and awarded a penalty for the scrum.
