Chapter Seventy-Three: Pulling the Void

๏ผŒ

"Can we win this game, several major media in the United States today are not optimistic about us, thinking that we are doomed, after all, the Trail Blazers are stronger than us and are ranked higher than us."

"Yes, they are indeed very strong, that Lithuanian center Sabonis, the former Raptors' leading point guard Damon Stoudemire, and our team's big traitor Ryder, although I don't want to admit it, but these are all star players who have been famous for a long time, and these young people on our team may be really difficult to win, even at home."

The game is approaching, and the fans in the target center are becoming more and more worried, their thoughts are now very simple, I hope the team will not lose their spirit, this game can be won better, they will not have any dissatisfaction with the team, the team has now performed enough.

"Maybe when these players of ours grow up, they're going to do miracles for us, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Steve Nash, we've got enough potential stars now, maybe the Timberwolves will be on the n when they grow up

A highest peak, if it really reaches that point, all this is the credit of that Chinese. โ€

The fan said this, and the Timberwolves fans next to him fell silent. This day may be near, or it may be far away. But before this Chinese came, they didn't dare to think about such a thing.

"yes, we never thought it would have been a great achievement for Garnett and Marbury to lead the team to the playoffs for the first time last year, and I believe these players can replicate and surpass what our team did last season, we don't have Jordan, we don't have Olajuwon, we don't have N

A is the best player, but I think we will be n

A best fan, we will always accompany this group of young people, forever. โ€

Silence, silence again, followed by a cacophony of head-to-ear exchanges, followed by earth-shattering applause and cheers from the stands.

The target center arena boiled instantly.

"Come on, Timberwolves!!"

The 20,000 fans spoke with the same voice

"Today the Timberwolves fans are very excited, the atmosphere in the stands is extremely warm, it seems that the current situation of the Timberwolves' two consecutive defeats has not affected the enthusiasm of the Timberwolves fans, they are still sparing no effort to cheer for the Timberwolves, which has changed dramatically from the situation of the Timberwolves at the beginning of the season, and I look forward to the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers today to bring a fierce game to fans across the United States." ABC commentator Michaels said slowly.

"The players on both sides have started to warm up for the first 3 minutes of the game, there are not many changes in the personnel on both sides, the only change for the two teams is that Timberwolves head coach Zhuang Fei once again used the young forward Rashad Lewis, and Dean Garrett, who showed sรจ in the first two games, was put on the bench"

"The starting lineup for this game is as follows, Trail Blazers center Lithuanian Sabonis, power forward Rasheed Wallace, small forward Brian Grant, scoring guard former Timberwolves leader Ryder, playmaking guard Damon Studmeire"

"Timberwolves center Garnett, power forward Rashad Lewis, small forward Paul Pierce, scoring guard Stephen Jackson, playmaking guard Steve Nash"

"The major sports media are optimistic about the Portland Trail Blazers in this game, and it will be difficult for the Timberwolves to beat the Trail Blazers in this game, the Trail Blazers are currently in good shape, having risen from seventh at the beginning of the season to third now, and it has put a lot of pressure on the Jazz Spurs, who are ranked first and second."

"However, in the basketball game, it is difficult to say victory or defeat when the game is not over, the Trail Blazers play steadily, the Timberwolves play aggressively, the styles of the two teams are very opposite, as long as the Timberwolves can suppress the height of the Trail Blazers with speed, then this game still has to be played."

On the Portland Trail Blazers' bench, McDonleavy looked at Rashad Lewis on the court with a look of haze in his eyes, his brow furrowed and thoughtful.

It was a surprise that Rashad Lewis was able to start this game, and it should have been Dean Galle who had expected him to start. If the Timberwolves' starter is really Dean Garrett, then he won't be worried, because Garrett doesn't have the ability to pull out and shoot, so with the height of the Trail Blazers, he can completely block the Timberwolves.

But now Zhuang Fei is coming, this hand has made the game a little unusual, Garnett and Lewis are both inside lines that can be pulled out, and the Trail Blazers' center 2.21 meters Sabonis will obviously be difficult to follow, even if they go out, these two people can easily get rid of him.

It's difficult, these two interior lines of the Timberwolves are troublesome, and McDonleavy sighed. Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked at Zhuang Fei who was not far from him, and found that Zhuang Fei was also frowning, which also made Dunleavy feel slightly better, the Trailblazers were in trouble, and the Timberwolves were also in trouble.

"Does your defensive strategy against Sabonis really work?"

"I don't know, I haven't tried it either, I think it will have some effect."

"I'm really afraid that if your strategy is used now, our internal line will be directly undefended"

D'Antoni was worried

"Oh my God, beautiful back turn, Paul Pierce turned his back and got rid of Grant who was defending him, Grant was slow, after all, he was an inside player, Pierce had an absolute advantage in speed, Pierce didn't stop to shoot, is he ready to force a layup? Sabonis and Rasheed Wallace under the basket are ready to go! โ€

Commentator Michaels wondered that Pierce was not such a player in his impression, Pierce had a high ball quotient and would never do this kind of thing like an egg hitting a stone. This kind of thing is a slightly higher success rate for outside players than when an egg hits a stone.

"Oh, no, Paul Pierce didn't make a layup! As he got in front of Sabonis, he had already distributed the ball to Kevin Garnett in the bottom left corner, and then after passing the ball, the Timberwolves player did not forget to quickly block between Garnett and Sabonis. It was a very breakthrough shot, and this time the Trail Blazers' two interior lines were very surprised, and they didn't react much."

Garnett didn't waste this scoring opportunity, and he hit a solid long-range shot, and after the shot, Garnett didn't forget to wave his hand to the bench and the stands.

After this goal, the Timberwolves fans in the stands let out a huge cheer, and Zhuang Fei on the sideline bench also nodded slightly.

The inside line opens up the outside line to break through, this is just the first step to deal with such a team with excellent height, or how to play Zhuang Fei with an inside line that is very similar to Yao Ming.

In this game, the Timberwolves will focus on the breakthrough ability of the three players on the outside, of course, Nash and Pierce will have a heavy task, the two of them must penetrate their defenders when attacking, of course, against the Trail Blazers, Zhuang Fei is more than this method, now just give the Trail Blazers a dismount.

The Timberwolves' sudden score made Dunleavy's heart jump, if it was against other teams' interior Sabonis sitting in the basket Rasheed Wallace would be a mobile force, such a combination is perfect, few teams will be as shooting as the Timberwolves. Now Rashid Wallace can't get out of the way, if Rashid was defending Garnett just now, then Dunleavy believes that Pierce's ball will definitely be distributed to Lewis on the other side.

The Trail Blazers' offense wasn't stunned by McDonleavy's stunned, as Rasheed Wallace hit a long-range two-pointer almost from the same corner as Garnett, and immediately returned the ball.

Nash was skillfully controlling the ball, he was waiting for his two interior teammates to pick it up, and when Garnett and Lewis both mentioned the left and right sides of the corner position in the free throw area, Nash moved, a very light change of direction shook off Damon Studemire and then played a block with Garnett to distribute the ball to Garnett, Garnett faced Sabonis and jumped up and threw the ball to Pierce at the three-point line in the bottom right corner, the pass was very long, but Garnett did a very good job in this regard, Pierce was unable to limit his breakthrough after receiving the ball, and this time Pierce did not pass the ball again because the basket had already been emptied by Garnett and Lewis. If Garnett broke through Sabonis by himself just now, it would have been dangerous for Sabonis to follow this time, but he finally brought it up.

Paul Pierce hit the basket with a backhand back dunk, and after the dunk, he didn't forget to beat his chest with both hands, looking domineering.

Pierce once again ignited the enthusiasm and cheers of the Timberwolves fans, and the fans in the audience chanted Pierce's name.
