Chapter 486: Difficult to fight
Tyberdu immediately called a timeout, the game could not continue to play like this, not every time a big hole was dug it could be filled.
The Knicks all looked solemn, and the corresponding players of the Timberwolves were all fighting spirit at this time.
Tyberdeau called a timeout, and as the Knicks players walked back, Tyberdeau picked up the tactics board and said:
'We've got to solve the defensive problems. Although the Timberwolves' offense has changed more today, the source of everything is still on Lefou, so in the next game, Lefu will give me a more ferocious bag once he receives the ball, and try to save as quickly as possible for the outside defense to put pressure on the Timberwolves! ”
"Offensively, we're going to start playing more in the low post! Li Feng, JR, the next two of you have to attack more resolutely on the inside. If you don't score, you have to make fouls, and you must not let the Timberwolves continue to expand the score. ”
Tyberdu has to play low on offense and control Lefouk on defense.
After the pause, the Knicks' ball, at this time the Knicks teed off from the sideline, the ball was sent out Dragic to the right 45 degrees and Li Feng crossed the cover, Li Feng took the ball and moved along the three-point line, and then made a cross cover with JR Smith The ball passed to JR Smith's hands.
J.R. Smith and Thornton tried to play a high pick-and-roll, but the Timberwolves squeezed through, and their high post pick-and-roll didn't come out.
J.R. Smith only took the ball and re-prepared to attack, at this time the Knicks' weaknesses were revealed, the Knicks did not have a big man who could play low post or can respond, and the basketball was always passing around on the outside and could not go inside.
JR Smith passed the ball to Dragic again, but Dragic couldn't help it, and seeing that the offensive time was about to run, Dragic could only rush in and throw a high throw.
The time was short, the difficulty was great, and Dragic's high toss had no score at all. threw it off the ground and gave the Timberwolves a backcourt rebound for nothing.
After the Timberwolves grabbed the rebound. Rubio was excited to play at this time because of the previous consecutive scores, dribbling towards the Knicks halfcourt, and then suddenly passing the ball horizontally to Brewer.
Rubio saw that Brewer was in a good position, but he didn't see Brewer following Li Feng by his side.
Li Feng rushed over and stretched out his hand, and immediately broke the basketball. The Knicks broke the ball, and Li Feng immediately turned around and ran towards the Timberwolves' halfcourt.
At this time, the Timberwolves suddenly remembered that the Knicks' fast attack was really powerful, and the Timberwolves immediately shrank into their own restricted area.
Li Feng rushed over to see that the four of the Timberwolves were huddled in the restricted area. The outside line is left to himself, which is a clear gamble with himself.
Li Feng didn't talk nonsense at this time, and immediately got up and threw a wipe board shot. As a result, it was okay not to wipe the board, but Li Feng threw the ball crookedly when he wiped the board.
Li Feng's pull-up jump shot was also unsuccessful! The basketball is back in the hands of the Timberwolves.
Li Feng's opening feeling today was so bad that he missed the middle distance continuously, and at this time Li Feng himself knew that he should adjust it. You can't just rely on the middle distance to score!
At this time, the Timberwolves protected the rebounding ball in the backcourt and rushed over all of a sudden. The Knicks' back-to-back offense was at a time of low morale.
The Timberwolves hit it all at once. Lefu suddenly took the main position in the far waist position, and the Timberwolves saw that Lefu had a position and the basketball immediately came in.
Lefu turned around and went into the Knicks basket, and Tyberdu didn't know to take a tighter grip on Lefu before, so the Knicks immediately came up to Lefou.
Lefou's bottom line is wrapped in a clip. He is Lefou, but he is not a superman, and the difficulty of one dozen or three is still very great.
So he immediately found the gap and passed the basketball to Cunningham in the bottom corner, who received the ball a little bit. Immediately passed the ball quickly, and passed the basketball right into Brewer's hand, and Brewer was above the free throw line. Catch the ball and shoot it from the middle distance.
The ball is in!
After the Knicks called a timeout, they didn't score themselves, but let the Timberwolves score, and the margin continued to expand to 10 points.
This situation suddenly left the fans in the center of Madison Square Garden speechless. Jeff Van Gundy also said:
"The Timberwolves started the day perfectly! They all seized the opportunity to shoot. The small probability events that should not be voted on are also grasped. And Li Feng, the main offensive player on the Knicks' side, has a bad hand, which opens up such a big gap in the middle. ”
Tyberdu saw that the timeout was over, but the Timberwolves offense was smoother, and his team didn't play the low-post offense they demanded.
He immediately jumped to the sideline and shouted:
"Hit the number 5 tactic! Playing No. 5 Tactic"
Now that the Knicks have started the game with a perfect start, the Knicks are desperate to score.
If you don't score, you may be solved by the Timberwolves in the first half, which is a big bad result.
Tyberdu yelled at the No. 5 tactic, and after the Knicks came over, he immediately played a pseudo-triangle attack, Li Feng took the ball and moved to the 45 degrees of the three-point line and turned back to J.R. Smith, and then immediately crossed with Dragic who ran from the baseline.
Li Feng used the cover to get stuck to the right waist, and Dragic pulled out to the outside of the three-point line to receive a pass from J.R. Smith, and then immediately hoisted into the hands of Li Feng on the inside.
Li Feng took the ball and immediately walked over, from the back basket to the noodle frame, Li Feng's position on the right waist is more suitable for playing the noodle frame. It is a common belief that the left waist is suitable for playing the back basket and the right waist is suitable for playing the noodle frame.
As soon as Li Feng turned around, seeing that Lefu was blocked on the other side of the basket by the Timberwolves' own people, Li Feng immediately burst out and rushed up along the bottom line.
Easily rubbing the basketball towards the rebound, Li Feng finally scored two points smoothly and began to stop the bleeding for the team.
Li Feng scored strongly, and it was a good start.
But today's Timberwolves are powerful and terrifying, and they immediately pushed forward quickly again after the baseline kickoff.
However, this time the Timberwolves played quite unexpectedly, they did not play Lefou's low-post tactics, but suddenly played a Pekovic low-post attack.
Pekovic suddenly got into the spotlight on the edge of the box, and Rubio sent the ball in.
Pekovic, who took the ball, did not dribble at all. The body shook forward, then immediately rolled back and made a clean step-back jumper.
Usually Pekovic often uses this action to shoot three points, but now he uses this action to shoot two points, which is also unusually accurate, and Thornton, who turned over and stepped back, did not react, and the basketball was shot cleanly.
The Timberwolves hit again! The Timberwolves' offensive wave is simply wave after wave of fighting.
As soon as the Knicks scored, the Timberwolves scored, the Knicks didn't score, and the Timberwolves still scored. Such a game makes people feel that today's Timberwolves are extremely strong. The offense is sharp and smooth to the extreme! All the dots in the team seem to be open.
The Timberwolves played like this. It's going crazy! The Knicks came over and could only continue to start from Li Feng's point.
This time the Knicks played a relatively simple tactic, Li Feng received the ball directly at the corner, and all the Knicks players were raised to near the free throw line, giving Li Feng the space under the basket.
Li Feng took the ball at the corner, faced Brewer, and suddenly broke through a step directly from the left, one step to the waist, and here Li Feng collected the ball and turned around to make a feint. A feint Li Feng shook Brewer into the air.
But when Li Feng turned back, Lefu's assistant defense also pounced, and Li Feng had to play a small trick in the face of Lefu. The hand bounced forward a little faster before throwing out a high-toss wipe shot.
Lefu was delayed by Li Feng. The jump did not cover the high throw ball thrown by Li Feng.
It is worth mentioning that Li Feng's high throwing is not low, and it is even much more difficult than ordinary mid-range, which is to cross Lefu's shooting.
But the ordinary middle distance Li Feng missed. This kind of difficult ball, but Li Feng shot it cleanly.
Lefu, who was scored on the head by Li Feng, also showed considerable helplessness at this time.
The Timberwolves have had convulsions. When the team fell behind sharply, Li Feng came out and scored 4 points in a row, which was quite important.
The leader of the team is to be able to stand up when the team is in the most crisis, and now Li Feng has done it.
Li Feng's presence did not allow the Timberwolves to continue to stretch the score, and the game entered a stalemate at this time.
When the Timberwolves advanced again, the team was going to give Love a low post in terms of tactical preparation and positioning.
The Knicks were also defending Lefu with all their might, but at this time, Cunningham, who was holding the ball, suddenly gave a ball back to Pekovic, who came over to block it for him.
Pekovic was very flexible in his position today, moving up and down, not hanging on the bottom corner and outside the three-point line.
So in this way, Thornton has to pay attention to Lefou, and he has to watch Pekovic a little unable to catch up.
Pekovic, who received the ball, was on the right side at 45 degrees, completely repeating the old trick, receiving the ball and turning, shooting directly, and the ball went in!
Pekovic's hand feeling today is really very hot, the heat is not good, every time he shoots, there is no one who misses. So far, Pekovic is the Timberwolves' top scorer and the most limelight, even overshadowing the LeFou.
Until now, the Timberwolves' offense is still continuous, and the pressure on the Knicks at this time is huge, and Tyberdu is also frowning deeply on the sidelines.
It's only the beginning of the game, and the Knicks are headwinded, and the situation is harsh, and this kind of game makes the Knicks feel out of breath from top to bottom.
Li Feng also focused his attention at this time, and Li Feng didn't expect that the Timberwolves would put so much pressure on his team as soon as the game started.
The Knicks ran over again, and Li Feng received the ball at 45 degrees, at which time the Knicks' position was about the same as in the previous round.
However, when Li Feng began to break through, the Timberwolves players suddenly clamped towards Li Feng, forming a three-person situation.
In the encirclement, Li Feng hurriedly threw the basketball out, and J.R. Smith, who followed up behind, broke through with the ball and caused a foul by Brewer.
And this time J.R. Smith made a shooting move, so it was equivalent to sending J.R. Smith to the free throw line.
At the free throw line, J.R. Smith hit both free throws, and when the Timberwolves' offensive boom continued, the Knicks' offense began to quietly improve, Li Feng scored points, and other teammates led by Li Feng also began to create kills.
Knicks' offensive mode. And now it's too! This is good news for New York fans.
At least the point difference will not continue to widen, and the Timberwolves now rely more on mid-to-long-range shooting, and their high shooting rate will definitely not last. If the point difference is not widened, the Knicks will definitely have a chance after a long time.
The Knicks seem to be on their feet now, but when the Timberwolves push in again, they're still playing like a tidal wave.
The Timberwolves pushed in, and the tactical preparation for the start was still to play Love, and when the Knicks players realized that the Timberwolves were playing like this again, they suddenly shrank back quickly.
At this time, Love immediately divided the ball again, which is the regular way of playing for the Timberwolves. The Knicks also adapted to them.
The Knicks' players followed the ball, and went out to pack Rubio, who got the ball, and Rubio wanted to play with the ball, but he didn't find a chance after going around in a circle.
The pass was back to Pekovic at the top of the arc, and as soon as Pekovic got the ball, the Knicks player was really scared and pounced on Pekovic, but when Pekovic passed the ball to Cunningham in the bottom corner, Cunningham was very elegant and took the ball forward and shot a mid-distance in the drift.
Cunningham scored the goal, too! The Timberwolves scored in a row for several rounds in a row. Almost as soon as the shot was made, the Timberwolves began to score like a blowout in the first quarter.
The Knicks have been playing through thick and thin, and so far everyone in the Timberwolves has scored, and each of them has scored at least two points.
This situation has pressed the Knicks to the most uncomfortable place. The whole Madison Square Garden is depressing.
At this time, in the domestic cav broadcast studio, where did the guest Su Qun also say:
"This Timberwolves played really weird today! It's really hot hands. Love scored only two points in the first quarter, but Pekovic scored six. Rubio has 6 points, Cunningham has 4 points, and the scoring points are particularly many and scattered. The Timberwolves have an overall tendency to explode at this time. If it goes on like this, the Knicks won't win. Now the Knicks' focus should be on defense, figuring out who can control the Timberwolves who scores, who doesn't score, and who is difficult to score. With defensive control, the Knicks have a chance to win. After all, they are still a defensive team at the root, and the Knicks lack offensive firepower. Winning the game depends on defense, and you can't always rely on Li Feng to fight alone! ”
When Su Qun was emphasizing that he couldn't just play Li Feng alone, the Knicks came over, and the ball still went to Li Feng's hands.
Tyber Duke is a famous Zhou Peel, who has a better star under him, and he is definitely used to the extreme by his cramps and peeling.
What's more, there are really not many cards that the Knicks can use now, Li Feng got the basketball outside the three-point line, and Cousins immediately came over to cover Li Feng after getting the ball.
Li Feng took the ball and looked at the Timberwolves' basket for a while, and found that the Timberwolves' basket was only Lefu alone.
This is a good opportunity for Li Feng, Li Feng came up and passed Brewer, and then rushed up to challenge Lefu directly, Lefu saw Li Feng coming, and he was also nervous.
When Lefu was nervous, Li Feng played a European step, took a figure-eight step, flashed to the right, and then the whole person came in from the left, and threw the basketball to the basket with his right hand very quickly.
Lefu was completely shaken off by Li Feng, who scored two points on a layup under Lefou's armpit.
Li Feng scored back-to-back points, and when the Timberwolves came over to attract attention from Lefou, they still suddenly passed the ball to Pekovic.
However, at this time, the Knicks' players were already keeping an eye on Pekovic, and the Knicks' harassment also arrived when Pekovic made a move.
As a result, Pekovic missed his first shot today! Pekovic's miss shot is like a signal!
Just when he missed, Li Feng jumped up and grabbed the rebound, then turned around and ran towards the Timberwolves' halfcourt, Li Feng walked to the left, just when all the Timberwolves' attention was focused on Li Feng.
Li Feng suddenly made a pass and gave JR Smith who was cut in from behind, and JR Smith took the ball and suddenly accelerated directly to the Timberwolves' inside line, jumping and splitting with one hand.
The Knicks only now finally had a chance to chase the score back by two points.
Seeing the Knicks' consecutive scoring, the Timberwolves missed for the first time, and Adelman was in a big lead for his team.
Called a timeout, Adelman's timeout, apparently felt that the Knicks' momentum had improved, and he could not tolerate this happening.
After the timeout, the Timberwolves came back to attack, and sure enough, the Timberwolves were unwilling to let the Knicks have a chance to breathe, and came up with a match that was very similar to the opening offensive tactics.
Love suddenly appeared on the free throw line, attracting all the attention, at this time Cunningham quietly slipped to the bottom line, and Love passed the ball to the hands of Cunningham who walked the baseline.
Cunningham took advantage of the basket's cover and opened the back door to steal two points.
The Timberwolves' current plan is not to give the Knicks any chance, not to give you the slightest. The Knicks were a little bit better, and they immediately applied offensive pressure.
At times like these, the constant pressure on the Knicks has been on them. When the whole team was facing great pressure, the basketball was still in Li Feng's hands.
Li Feng took the ball at 45 degrees inside the three-point line this time, and after taking the ball, Li Feng used a probing step, and then when Li Feng was about to attack with his back to take the ball back, he suddenly felt it, and the feeling of receiving the ball was good.
So Li Feng got up directly and threw another middle distance. Li Feng missed several times in a row, and Brewer didn't even come up to harass him, but Li Feng threw the ball into the Timberwolves' basket very softly this time.
Li Feng felt it himself, and his hand felt gradually back! (To be continued......)
