Chapter 110: Record Night
Chapter 110: Record Night
(PS: Thank you for the reward of "Winged Knight" and "Spring 18" children's shoes, I am not in a very good mood today, but I am still very happy to see the word reward in the book review area.) Thank you so much!
Another: Because I can't become a moderator in the book review area at the starting point, I can't reply to some comments, but I'm paying attention to it, and if you have anything you want to say, you can post it, and I can see it. )
In this game, Li Shihao did not choose to go head-to-head with Derrick Rose, but chose to make the ball for his teammates, and used his outside long-range shot as a firepower to suppress, so that the Bulls were tired of coping.
To be honest, the young bulls were a little overwhelmed by this situation.
Today's Bulls head coach is Vinnie De Nagro, a head coach who is suited to coaching emerging teams that are rebuilding and can handle the usual game situations in a comfortable manner, but in the face of the current situation, the Bulls head coach's tactical level is a little stretched.
Originally, at the beginning of the second quarter, Bulls head coach Vinnie wanted to give the team's core Rose some rest, but the Timberwolves' bench lineup was also in excellent condition today, and several consecutive offenses were played, and the Bulls' bench group was suppressed.
The Timberwolves' bench interior Milicic has a very comprehensive skill, although this handsome guy is regarded by many as the "parallel import" of the 03 platinum generation, but in fact, Milicic cannot be underestimated in terms of physical fitness and interior skills.
After being drafted by coach Larry Brown in his rookie season, this rookie kid was obviously extremely unlucky, and was locked up in a "little black room" in his first season, with no playing time and no due tactical support.
Milicic, who is still a glamorous rookie, has been hit by Larry Brown, a coach who has never liked to use newcomers, and the first few years of his easiest growth and development have been wasted.
A few years later, his skills are still the same, and when his rookies have already made their mark and even led the team to the playoffs on his own, Milicic can't find a team willing to give him trust.
He expected to continue his dismal career in Memphis, but a notice shattered his suspicions, and the team made a trade, and the Memphis Grizzlies chose to send him to the icy Minnesota in exchange for ownership of Rubio, Europe's "golden boy".
Milicic is undoubtedly disappointed, but he has become numb, and after moving from multiple teams, the star of the 03 generation has completely lost faith in the future, and he really can't hold out any more hope for his dismal career.
Maybe I'll end my NBA career at the end of this contract, right?
But fate played a big joke on him, and the Minnesota fans clearly didn't reject him too much, and when Milicic completed a dunk in garbage time in preseason this season, the adorable Minnesota fans apparently didn't skimp on their applause.
"Whoa~"
Even though the applause was a little sparse, the sound reached Milicic's ears clearly, and the young Serbian and Montenegro obviously did not expect the Minnesota fans to face him in such a friendly manner.
How long has it been since we heard such a pleasant, delightful applause?
Milicic himself can't remember how long he's been saddled with the label of "parallel import", when LeBron performs a dunk every day to please the Cleveland fans, when Wade puts in a dazzling maze to make a layup, has anyone ever paid attention to his feelings?
Years of neglect and a bleak career have made Milicic numb, but that night's game, the lovely Minnesota fans exchanged their applause for a glimmer of hope for the Serbian youth.
Because of a burst of sparse applause, the young man of Serbia and Montenegro re-raised the expectation for the future in his heart, maybe he can still rise?
At the very least, there are people here who are paying attention to me and someone who is willing to give me a round of applause!
It is for this reason that Milicic has shown an extraordinary enthusiasm for training this season, and McHale, a former Hall of Fame insider, has naturally taken notice of this, and he has begun to try to give Milicic more playing time so that the Serbian and Montenegro youth have plenty of game time to show what he can do.
Facts have proved that McHale's decision is correct, the Timberwolves have successfully found a treasure, and the former "parallel import" list Milicic has become a top player on the Timberwolves bench this season, and his interior skills do not seem to be too bad, both defensive and offensive have good basic skills.
This seems to be a "good seedling" worth training?
It is precisely because of McHale's optimism that Milicic has received a valuable attention, although this attention is not much, but it has already made the Serbian and Montenegro very happy.
Milicic's scoring stats have risen a lot this season, averaging 11 per game. 8 points 6. Five rebounds, that's good enough for a bench, not to mention that Milicic only played a measly ten minutes.
You must know that last season, the performance of the Serbian and Montenegro youth in Memphis was far from so outstanding, averaging a little more than five points per game, but many Memphis fans stopped clamoring, and they even hoped that Milicic would get out of the Memphis Grizzlies as soon as possible.
And tonight Milicic seems to be about to explode!
The young man of Serbia and Montenegro has obviously accumulated a lot of experience, hard work in training on weekdays, and outstanding talent that he was once proud of, and finally seems to be mixed with the resentment and dissatisfaction accumulated over several seasons.
It's all going to explode tonight.
As the head coach, Frank Vogel obviously quickly noticed this, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he quickly replaced the core of the team, Li Shihao.
Li Shihao certainly understood Frank's intentions, and he began to make balls for Milicic from time to time on the court, and I have to say that Milicic seemed to be really hot tonight.
In less than eight minutes, the Serbian youth has already made six of eight shots, scored 12 points, and contributed 6 rebounds.
Li Shihao was surprised in his heart, after Milicic came to the Timberwolves this season, his training attitude has indeed changed a lot, and his offensive and defensive contributions per game have obviously increased a lot, but tonight, this kid seems to be about to break out!
I was thinking of dragging the game to the third or fourth quarter and then showcasing it, but since Milicic was in such good shape tonight, Li Shihao no longer hesitated.
If such a great opportunity is missed, it will be too undeserved!
Li Shihao and Milicic led the Timberwolves and a group of benches to break down the Bulls' defense, and the two of them were one mile and one outside, and the power of the team was not inferior to the effect of the starting lineup.
Bulls head coach De Nagro is in a hurry, if the team is defeated by the Chinese kid outbreak, it is okay to say, but if he is defeated by Milicic, who is recognized as a "parallel import" in the league, then he, the head coach, will definitely bear most of the public opinion firepower.
In a hurry, he took advantage of the dead ball and replaced the starting lineup of a group of Bulls such as Derrick Rose.
But Milicic's performance tonight is obviously a little unstoppable, the young Serbian and Montenegro have gone crazy, and the red-eyed Milicic doesn't recognize who his opponent is.
Li Shihao and Milicic both fired, blossoming inside and out, directly stunned the Bulls, and at the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves led the Chicago Bulls 89-74.
The 15-point advantage was enough to make it tricky for the young Bulls to deal with.
In the end, the Timberwolves didn't let the victory slip out of their hands, and managed to snatch this crucial victory at the Union Center, adding one more victory.
In this game, Milicic played 36 minutes, bombarding all the way, facing the Chicago Bulls with 26 points, 16 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 6 blocks, 11 of 19 shots and 4 free throws, and won the title of the best player of the game.
The teacher who retreated into the background naturally smiled and watched Milicic give an interview to the media, he scored 19 points and 13 assists tonight, and the big double-double did not give him much excitement, but it was Milicic's outburst that surprised him.
Record night!
Milicic had a record of his own!
