Chapter 158: Double Kill

Compared to the intensive schedule in January, February is undoubtedly much easier, with a total of 13 games in the whole of February, and an All-Star weekend in between, and 13 games in one month, which is really much more relaxed.

The most fortunate thing for the Timberwolves boys is that most of their opponents in February are Eastern Conference teams, and there are not many outstanding players, which is a cause for cheer for this group of young lads who have worked hard all in January.

On February 1, the first day of the month, the New York Knicks challenged, and the Timberwolves defeated the Knicks at home without any suspense.

That night, the New York Knicks showed a strong offense, playing randomly on offense, fully proving what it means to play randomly, and once grasped the victory, but unfortunately was finally taken away by a wave of counteroffensive tide from the Timberwolves.

At the beginning of the game, Li Shihao scored 4 points in the opening game, and scored two outside jumpers, Chris Duhong obviously had limited defensive ability and couldn't prevent Li Shihao's outside jumpers, which made the mustache D'Antoni on the sidelines angry and felt a little helpless.

This is the mess left by the management of the New York Knicks, who knows who tricked him into coming to the ghost team of the New York Knicks, it's a mess.

Every time Mustache D'Antoni sees the team's starting point guard, Chris Duhon, being blown up by the opposing player on the court every time, the mustache wants to shake off the tactical board and pick on it.

D'Antoni was tempted to point Donny Walsh in the nose and ask him, a defensive point guard like Chris Dujon, and expect him to lead the New York Knicks to play run-and-gun tactics to save the market?

Thankfully, the rest of the New York Knicks aren't too wasteful. Chandler and David Lee have succeeded in attacking on the inside, opening up the situation for the Knicks, and with the containment of the inside, the other players of the Knicks seem to have opened up their minds, and they all know how to play, and their shots are more accurate than one another. An offensive frenzy began.

The score quickly surpassed the leading Timberwolves, and under such an offensive frenzy, even Chris Dujon received a buff, hitting two outside jumpers and scoring 4 points, avoiding the embarrassing situation of 0 points in the first half.

The Timberwolves obviously didn't have a good way to face the New York Knicks, who were a little crazy in the first half, so they had to shrink their defense and use the simplest way, man-to-man. Don't give the Knicks players on the court a chance to catch the ball and attack.

Although this trick is simple, it is extremely practical, especially in the face of a team like the Knicks without a clear tactical system, there is no chance to win in the chaos, the New York Knicks' gang of chaotic bandits suddenly have no use, and the efficiency of forcing shots is not good, 20 shots in exchange for 8 hits, the situation is obviously not satisfactory.

The Timberwolves took advantage of the opportunity. Again overtook and returned to the leading position. Who would have thought that with 2 minutes and 11 seconds left before the end of the first half, the Knicks had another convulsion, and the young Italian boy Gallinari's three consecutive outside shots hit steadily, and he was extremely hot, scoring six points in a row to narrow the score gap to two points.

In the end, the Timberwolves temporarily took a two-point lead at 56-54. The first half of the duel ended.

Gallinari, the Italian boy tonight, was obviously a little excited, even too excited, and he pressed 18 points in the first half alone, using only 13 shots, and obviously hit a good percentage from the field. Excited, he also made a few strong man movements when he left the field, leaving a lot of footage for reporters on the sidelines.

At the start of the second half, the Knicks started the offensive trend, and Gallinari continued the excellent performance of the first half, hitting a mid-range jumper as soon as he came on the court.

David Lee can't sit still, he is now the biggest star of the New York Knicks, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader of the team today, the team's younger brother Gallinari has exploded, how can he sit still.

For this reason, David Lee continued to ask for the ball, seeing this, Chris Dujon naturally would not give it, he couldn't wait to pass the basketball in his hand, and when he saw the team boss asking for the ball, he was naturally full of joy.

You must know that the Chinese kid who is in the opposite position doesn't know how to practice, obviously the arm span is average, but the speed of the shot is as fast as lightning, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will be taken away by his thief hand, if you can't maintain the vigorous attention of the whole game when you are in position with him, you will be miserable.

David Lee didn't ask for the ball for nothing, his playing IQ was still good, and the New York media praised him as an underrated interior player on weekdays, which is actually true.

At least on the offensive side, David Lee can do a lot for the team, this season David Lee can win an average of 20+10 data per game, which is not all brushed in garbage time, there is still a bit of real gold content.

There aren't that many teams in the league that are kind enough to give you stats!

David Lee is very good at finding opponents on the offensive end, and he clearly understands that on the defensive end, Marc Gasol and Kevin Love are better to deal with, and as soon as he receives the ball, he aims for Kevin Love.

The footsteps under the basket are extremely flexible, and with a turn, Lefu is left behind, directly hooked under the basket, shot from close range, and the hit rate is very high, and the basketball is not a problem at all to roll into the basket.

The offensive wave directly suspended the Timberwolves, and head coach Frank Vogel clearly understood that the New York Knicks were in an unusual state tonight, or at least a bad anomaly for them.

The New Yorkers have to be limited on the offensive end, at least to cool down their offensive touch, otherwise let them play like this, and it's hard to say who the victory will ultimately belong to.

There are no weak teams in the NBA, even the 72-win Bulls team led by Michael Jordan back then had times when they lost to weak teams, even if it was a random punch, it could kill the master, let alone a team like the Knicks who went crazy.

At the behest of head coach Frank Vogel, Lee Se Brewer has stepped up his perimeter running and marking, keeping an eye on Gallinari's movements, and it is clear that the Italian's good form tonight has caught Frank Vogel's attention.

David Lee on the inside also received special treatment, and once the New York son got the ball, he was treated as a bag, not giving him enough space to attack.

David Lee, who has no way out, can only play strongly, and the result is naturally not too ideal, and most of the basketball pops up in the frame, which makes David Lee, who was a big fan before, a little frustrated, at least now he has not become an inside player with a killer feature.

He's still a long way from top power forwards like Duncan and Garnett.

In the end, the New York Knicks failed to set off a counterattack and were won by the Timberwolves, ending the game with a score of 119-109.

Both teams scored very high, and there were not many scoring feasts staged in the game, which made many fans who bought tickets to watch the game on the spot very addicted. (To be continued.) )
