Chapter 159 The All-Star Curtain opens

The Timberwolves ended their winning streak with a two-game losing streak after beating the Knicks twice at home.

One game against the Dallas Mavericks, facing the German tank Nowitzki, who was full of firepower and had no shooting range in the half, the Timberwolves obviously did not have players who could limit the German king.

Whether it is Gasol Jr. or Lefu in the face of today's spicy German king, they all seem too tender, the German king who has experienced ups and downs in the alliance for many years, his offensive skills are already terrifying, and even the back body technology is now perfect, plus the advantage of high-level shots, it is completely a big killer.

The old demon Jason Kidd also restrained Li Shihao that night, although his pace was still slow, but he had excellent defensive awareness, and a pair of fiery eyes seemed to be able to see through Li Shihao's next move, and every time he was able to jam Li Shihao's breakthrough position.

This season, the Mavericks climbed to the second place in the West, and it is still very promising to win more championships, which makes the heart of Jason Kidd, the old demon who has not won a championship for many years, extremely hot.

The league-hardened Jason Kidd has long been hungry for a championship ring to bring his career to a successful conclusion.

Today's Jason Kidd has lost the sharpness and impulsiveness of his youth, and in the face of most interviews in the league, the old demon Kidd often avoids talking about it, and the accumulation of years has completely worn away Jason Kidd's edges and corners.

has reached the top of the East twice, but was cleanly defeated twice by the OK combination in the finals, which made Jason Kidd feel helpless at the same time, but also a feeling of both Yu and Liang.

O'Neal, a big shark in his prime, has made many players regret, Iverson is one, Nowitzki who was reversed in the Finals in '06 is one, and even Tim Duncan, who already has four championship rings in his hand, had the idea of fleeing the West at the beginning.

It can be seen that the terror of O'Neill, the big shark at his peak. It's completely unstoppable berserk beasts in the forbidden area, unstoppable!

Without the honor of the regular season MVP, looking at the honor of the two MVP trophies of the old rival Steve Nash, the old demon Kidd will also be envious in the dead of night, but he is just envious.

Kidd knows exactly what he needs, a championship. An NBA championship that made his dream come true, and now Steve Nash, who is far away in Phoenix, is also fighting for it.

Even though the outside media kept attacking him for his low offensive ability, he even said the ridiculous words "he grabbed Nolvich's rebounds, so that Nowitzki had no rebounds to grab".

Kidd ignored it, he is no longer the peak triple-double king of the early 21st century, and now the only thing that can support him in his rush to the championship is a ghostly passing hand and a defensive ability that has not yet regressed.

Facing Li Shihao, who was only in his rookie season, the old demon Kidd obviously felt Li Shihao's thoughts very well, and the old demon Kidd, who had been playing for many years, had a pair of sharp eyes and took all Li Shihao's thoughts. See it clearly.

It has risen to the high-end of the hole, Li Shihao was suppressed very badly, not only could not play the offensive end, but also in a sluggish state on the tandem team, and finally the Timberwolves lost to the Dallas Mavericks 109-89, a full 20 points loss.

Lee Se-ho was in a slump, scoring only 15 points, and was severely ridiculed by the Dallas media after the game. The name of Li Shihao's data brush was greatly disparaged, believing that his contribution to the team was extremely low. It's a team cancer.

After the game, Li Shihao was not in a good mood, the team lost to the Dallas Mavericks, and he was suppressed by the old demon Jason Kidd, which made him really not in the mood to deal with those media reporters with long guns and short guns, and after dealing with it hastily, Li Shihao was under the cover of the Timberwolves official personnel. Left the arena.

The aftermath of the loss to the Mavericks didn't heal so easily, and the Timberwolves lost another game in the subsequent home target center, facing the Memphis Grizzlies who were playing on the road, but could not hold on to the home victory. Let the Memphis Grizzlies succeed in the victory.

Li Shihao is still not performing well as the core of the team, and he has obviously not come out of the Mavericks' defeat with only 18 points, and he has played 11 iron games in the whole game, and the cold feel really froze the Timberwolves.

On the other hand, McConley, the point guard of the Grizzlies, played well in this game, not only limited Li Shihao's performance, but also scored 20 points on 8 of 15 shots, and hit 4 free throws steadily.

This also made the Dallas media more vocal, and with this game against the Memphis Grizzlies as an example, the Dallas people played more easily in the Black Lee camp.

The Timberwolves, who have lost two games in a row, then faced the Philadelphia 76ers and Bobcats, and Li Shihao finally returned to the game.

In the first game against the Philadelphia 76ers, the Timberwolves Brewer and Love were not in good shape, and they made a series of mistakes in the opening game, and the Philadelphia 76ers seized the opportunity and played a wave of 11:2 counterattacks, which put the Timberwolves in danger for a while.

Li Shihao stood up in time, and two jumpers from the outside opened up the situation for the team, one of which was a key three-point line projection, which was even more amazing to the audience, stepping on a step outside the three-point line, and misplaced in the face of Iguodala's defense, Li Shihao didn't think about it, and shot directly.

After staying in the air for a second, the basketball passes through the net, splashing a burst of nets.

This goal is obviously wonderful, even in the Philadelphia 76ers' home stadium of the Philadelphia 76ers, it still won cheers, the Philadelphia 76ers' record in recent years is not ideal, Philadelphia fans are naturally more tolerant of other players who rushed to fight, and the general wonderful goals can attract cheers from Philadelphia fans.

This goal is extremely confident, and the three-point score has also greatly improved the morale of the Timberwolves.

Then, in the final moments of the third quarter, Ryan Gomez hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer from the outside to tie the score.

In the most critical fourth quarter, the weakness of the Philadelphia 76ers' lack of offensive ability was highlighted obviously, and in the face of the offensive Timberwolves, the Philadelphia 76ers could only rely on Iguodala's sole support, which was a drop in the bucket after all.

When there was 1 minute and 30 seconds left before the end of the game, the Philadelphia 76ers were still 8 points behind, obviously powerless, and finally the suspense was completely lost, and when the final whistle blew, the Philadelphia 76ers lost the game with a score of 90:100.

Then the Timberwolves returned to their home court and defeated the visiting Bobcats again, and Li Shihao scored 25 points, 8 assists and 3 steals, which directly collapsed the outside of the Bobcats.

With both wins, the Timberwolves ended all their games before the All-Star break, and they could rest for a while. (To be continued.) )
