Chapter 147: Advantage?

"Whew, it's so easy" Garnett fell lightly from the air, looked at Duncan's back in front of him, and was extremely surprised, he didn't have much power at all this time to jump the ball, but it achieved a different effect from the previous times, this is the first time the Timberwolves have successfully jumped the ball in this series.

"Haha, Kevin, don't be in a daze, start pushing" The Timberwolves' advance speed after the success of the jump ball is a must in the league, because Duncan's 'accidental' jump ball failure caused the Spurs' defense to not be too jǐngti, so this is definitely a good opportunity to fight back, and it is too difficult for the Timberwolves to catch the Spurs' counterattack in this series.

The Timberwolves' tactical system this season is to run and shoot, pursuing speed, among which the defensive counterattack that successfully grabs the backcourt rebound is the first in the league, and Garnett and Pierce's GP's connection is praised by fans and experts, and the Timberwolves have an average of 21 points per game in each game, which is also ranked first in the league, but this round of the series and the Spurs have played so far, and the Timberwolves' fast-break score is only 6 points per game, which is nearly 4 times worse, which is why the Timberwolves have played so hard in this series, not only because the score in the restricted area has decreased, but the rhythm has been mastered by the Spurs, and the Spurs' offense has basically not been mistakenly attacked, so the Timberwolves cannot master or change the rhythm of the Spurs.

Looking at his teammate Garnett, who had disappeared in a smoke, he could only chase forward, but when he first came to Nash's side, Pierce had already received Nash's 3-pointer at 45 degrees on the left side, in addition to Garnett and Pierce's counterattack connection, Pierce and Nash's three-point chase is also a major feature of the Timberwolves.

"It was really good today. No, today was my best game in the series," Pierce was excited to think after he made the three-pointer, and he loved the big scene, which was great.

Just as the Timberwolves scored this three-pointer and the Spurs were ready to attack, there was a sudden movement in the stands. All the fans let out a shocking boo.

"Cāo, that bastard actually dared to come to San Antonio" A middle-aged male fan couldn't help but curse loudly when he saw the familiar figure.

"yes. We have to win this game, this time we have to beat the Timberwolves to get to the Finals no matter what, especially in front of him."

The sāo movement in the Spurs stands quickly spread from one piece to the entire stadium. And the source of their sāo move is the Spurs' biggest enemy in franchise history, Magic Johnson, who defeated the Spurs led by the Iceman Devine twice in the Western Conference finals.

Magic has been quite busy lately, compared to the coaching path of good friend Larry Bird. Johnson's business path is not easy, he has rarely watched other teams' games, of course, the Los Angeles Lakers he still has a concern, but this year the Lakers are not competitive, the first round was eliminated by the bitter Jazz, as the former "showtime" controller, Magic is also a loyal fan of Zhuang Fei, he likes offensive basketball and beautiful basketball.

"It seems that I am not welcome here," the magician said with a wry smile after hearing the sudden loud boos from the scene, but it was definitely an honor for many players. The cheers of the home team and the boos of the away team are like scars on the warriors.

Regarding this matchup, which has been dubbed by the media as one of the greatest divisional finals in NBA history, the Magic is also eager to come and witness it live to see if this round of matchups is really as the media boasted.

The reason why the Spurs' offense prevents the Timberwolves from taking the opportunity to counterattack is not because of their extremely effective interior offensive play, which basically gives every offense to the interior first. Let the inside line distribute the offense, Duncan got the pass from the little general at the free throw line and gave the ball to Robinson, Robinson got the ball on the inside, a very beautiful back hand hand, Duncan cut in from the outside is a dunk. A very jīng 彩 inside the pass.

Zhuang Fei shook his head on the sidelines, the Timberwolves' defense had shrunk very little. However, the Spurs' two interior lines can still embroider in the restricted area, which also shows that the tacit understanding between these two giants is extremely pure, such a combination can not only make the Timberwolves have no way, but all teams in the league have no good way.

What can I do? Zhuang Fei smiled bitterly in his heart, he had no other choice but to shrink.

The opening momentum of the Timberwolves' game is quite good, it can be said that the state is hot, which is definitely good news for the Timberwolves who rely on the outside to eat, and on the defensive end, the Timberwolves still have nothing to do, the Spurs have more and more experience with the Timberwolves' new type of shrinking defense, although the Spurs have been iron on the outside for 18 games, but it does not mean that they have no offensive ability at all, as long as they don't throw three points, their other offenses are not bad, and they can also give the Spurs some echoes

"Zhuang, have you noticed that the Spurs' offensive tempo has increased in this game" D'Antoni looked at the Timberwolves and Spurs players back and forth on the court, a little puzzled, it was obvious that the speed and pace of this game was much faster than the previous six games. The Spurs' main way to deal with the Timberwolves is to press the tempo, why are they speeding up now? And the connection and interspersing between the two interior lines of the Spurs has also increased. The little cooperation between each other is very beautiful. I have to say that the Spurs played beautifully at the beginning of this game.

"Mike, what has changed from today's Spurs compared to the previous Spurs" Zhuang Fei was not surprised, but just asked D'Antoni rhetorically.

"What has changed?" After thinking about it, D'Antoni immediately said: "They went up in the number of rounds at the same time, their points went up, and Vicky wanted to score more points in this match"

"That's right, Vicky is starting to panic, defense is passive after all, if you want to win the game he has to score more than us, and they don't have enough athleticism to play defensive counterattacks like us, and the outside feel is even more untrustworthy, so in order to take the initiative in this game he has to attack, he has to shorten the offensive time without rounds, and he has to let Robinson and Duncan run and cooperate more, but this change is risky, so it is an opportunity for us" Zhuang Fei's eyes are a little bright now, he didn't expect that Vicky would sacrifice defense for the team's offense, and it is inevitable that mistakes and misattacks will occur when the offensive rhythm accelerates, and the Timberwolves will naturally be able to use these Spurs' mistakes to counterattack, as long as the Timberwolves can play counterattacks and play speed, you will not have a team in the league that can strangle this running giant wolf.

"I really didn't expect our offense to be a deterrent to the Spurs" Vicky shook his head and said with a wry smile, where does the Timberwolves have any style of the league's No. 1 offensive team after this series, it can be said that it was broken by the Spurs cleanly, except for the Spurs' three-point approach to the Timberwolves, the other offensive methods of the Timberwolves are basically restrained.

"Of course, although there are winners and losers in the game, the difference between the two teams has not been very big recently, so it is understandable that he is looking for a change for the sake of the initiative"

As soon as Zhuang Fei's words fell, the Spurs made a mistake as he expected, which was still an inside pass from Robinson and Duncan, but the ball was cut off by Garnett, who had a long reach.

"There has been, the NBA's most classic fast-break combination this season is linked again, Garnett successfully intercepted Robinson's pass, the Spurs made a mistake, Pierce has begun to run wildly, Garnett's ball has been flying in the air, beautiful, Pierce received this long-distance pass at the free throw line after a very easy two-handed dunk under the basket to complete the offense" ABC commentator Michaels roared loudly, such a picture is too rare in this series.

On the sidelines of the Spurs bench, Vicky looked at Pierce with a bad face, not knowing what he was thinking, the Timberwolves averaged only 6 points per game in the previous game, and now the first quarter has just begun, and it has reached five points with a three-point dunk at a time.

"Zhuang, you're right, our chance has come," D'Antoni looked at Zhuang Fei with admiration and smiled. All the situations on the scene are developing towards Zhuang Fei's vision.

The mistake just now obviously caught the Spurs players a little off guard, and also became a little restricted, and the Spurs' offense became regular again, at least in the next round, the Spurs are no longer Robinson and Duncan's Nene cooperation.

Duncan leaned on Garnett's body behind his back, felt the power from Garnett's body, and pushed the ball to Johnson at the top of the arc with a little sigh, this ball Spurs was killed, there was no offensive opportunity, and there was no way to choose the last ball, and there would be no time if he didn't shoot, and Duncan didn't have hope for Johnson's three-point arc top, not to mention this kind of shot that was sealed, even if there was no one to seal the empty space Johnson couldn't shoot.

Veky has been frowning after watching the Spurs give up the interior cooperation on the court, and his face is even more ugly after seeing Johnson shoot. Once again, the offensive did not work. Before the results came in, he decided that Johnson couldn't shoot the ball, because in the same position, Johnson had hit the iron 13 times in a row.

"Zhuang, let's guard again" As soon as D'Antoni turned his head after saying this, the smile just now turned into horror.

"Brush" hollow hit, Johnson finally hit the top of the arc for the first time, watching the ball through the pocket, the little general stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.

And the Spurs fans at the scene once again let out an earth-shattering cry.

"It's difficult" Zhuang Fei looked at Johnson who was in a daze on the field, and his heart sank, and the last thing he wanted to happen was going to happen.
