The game lasted until this point, with only 2 minutes and 30 seconds left until the end of the first quarter, and at this time, Adelman, although unwilling, did not completely suppress the Knicks.

However, he is still starting to prepare for substitutions, and the main players of the Timberwolves have been on the court enough time so far. If he continues to insist on letting the main players play more, it will affect the performance of the players behind him.

The Timberwolves began to gradually replace the bench players, and the same was true for the Knicks.

At the end, the two teams entered the bench period! At this time, the Knicks' offense was still not good. But on the Timberwolves' side, Redno and Barria made a series of mistakes to send points to the Knicks.

As a result, the two teams did not even open the score, and at the end of the first quarter, the two teams were tied at 28-22, and the Timberwolves led the Knicks by 6 points.

In the first quarter, the Timberwolves seemed to have turbulent offensive waves, wave after wave, but at the end of the day, they didn't pull the Knicks apart much.

came back, Tyberdu continued to squeeze Li Feng hard, and sent Li Feng to the court as soon as he started.

It was the Knicks' ball that opened with Livingston dribbling over and walking 45 degrees to the right to draw the attention of the Timberwolves. By the time the Timberwolves players were looking to the right, Livingston suddenly took advantage of Diop's cover and headed for the top of the arc.

At the same time, Li Feng, who had been ambushed on the left bottom line, suddenly ran up, and at the same time, Vucevic immediately covered Li Feng at the waist.

Li Feng passed through the cover of Vucevic and ran up to receive the ball when it was empty, Li Feng received the ball and turned around and jumped directly to suppress Barria who was on defense, and shot at Barria's head.

Compared with Li Feng, Baria is not only short in stature, but also completely disproportionate in weight, and was hit by Li Feng all of a sudden.

Li Feng hit this ball! Li Feng scored such a goal, and even Jeff Van Gundy laughed:

"Li Feng is a bit of a bully this time!"

Hubby Brown also said:

"Yes! It looks like Baria is pitiful. ”

The two of them are narrators. You can have compassion in your heart, but Li Feng hopes that the weaker the opponent, the better.

The Timberwolves came over at this time, because they didn't have Love, so they also started to play relatively easy breakaway shots.

Ridno came over and passed the ball to Gallabal, who was moving towards the Knicks in the box, but Gallabar came in with the ball but was immediately caught by the Knicks' interior player. So he chose to give the ball to Barria from outside the three-point line.

Barria took the ball and shook it for a moment, and then immediately rushed towards the Knicks basket, this guy rushed too hard, and directly hit the body of Vucevic who was standing well in the restricted area.

As a result, Barria failed to attack himself, and instead made an offensive foul. Gave the ball back to the Knicks for nothing. This is that Barria is still too young, and he obviously has a good chance, but he doesn't handle the ball well.

However, the fans at the scene were delighted, and they all cheered on the sidelines when Barria was awarded a foul.

Once the Timberwolves don't score, they immediately give the Knicks a chance.

In the Timberwolves' half again, Li Feng easily stuck Gallabar in the far waist, not because Gallabal's defense was not good, but at this time in the bench lineup, the Timberwolves did not arrange a targeted defensive strategy for Li Feng.

After Li Feng is in the main position. Livingston, who came over, passed a very good angle to hit the ground, Li Feng got the basketball, and saw that there was Garrabar behind him, and there was no Lefu in the Timberwolves' restricted area. This is a great opportunity for Li Feng.

Li Feng attacked with his back, and "snapped" twice directly squeezed Galabal out of position, Li Feng turned around and threw it, and got two points steadily.

The Timberwolves are not on the main force. Without Lefu on the inside, Li Feng's low-post offense is simply what he wants. He scored 4 points in a row, and the difference was shortened to 2 points at once. 28-26, seeing that the Knicks are about to catch up.

Adelman immediately jumped to the touchline and yelled at his players, demanding that his players play more securely.

But just as Adelman was yelling, Amondsen made a mistake when defending off the ball, and Amunderson moved in front of the referee to block and dismantle too obviously, and it all pressed on Tobias Harris.

The referee gave the Timberwolves another foul, and the ball was back in the hands of the Knicks.

Coming back, the Timberwolves' bench lineup was a series of simple mistakes that gave the Knicks a chance after chance.

With this kind of opportunity, if Li Feng can't seize it, it won't be Li Feng.

Li Feng took the ball from the backcourt, and then the whole person went to the Timberwolves' restricted area like a tank. When the Timberwolves players caught Li Feng's four-fold box, Li Feng threw the ball out, and Tobias Harris shot steadily in 45 degrees.

Harris's mid-range shot was simply shot!

This ball hits! The home fans in New York all cheered at once, because by this time, the Knicks had finally tied the score.

The Knicks have been suppressed and suppressed since the start of the season, and now they have finally caught up with the score. This is not easy for the Knicks, so once the score catches up, the fans are relieved. Even the Knicks players on the bench took a big breath.

It's not easy! I can finally relax and breathe. Tyberdu also let out a long sigh.

The Timberwolves have made so many mistakes, and at this time Adelman has not adjusted in time, he only saw the opening minute of the second quarter of the game, and did not see that the team's state is no longer good.

As a result, the Timberwolves ran over again, and Jose Barria shot a three-and-three under the strong defense of the Knicks.

The Knicks took the rebound in the backcourt and got a great chance to overtake.

But at this time, Livingston was too excited all of a sudden, and gave Li Feng a pass that was too far away, but Li Feng didn't catch up.

The Knicks also made a mistake in the critical stage of the overtake! At this time, Adelman hurriedly saw the stitches and immediately replaced Cunningham first.

Cunningham has organizational skills. On the bench of the Cunningham Timberwolves, it won't look so messy.

Sure enough, as soon as Cunningham returned, he made a wonderful pass to Stiesma, who received the ball and cut in the air and immediately caused a foul on the Knicks. And Stiensma's shooting action has already been made.

Steensma could only be sent to the free throw line, and at the free throw line, Steensma hit both free throws, and the Knicks lost a chance to overtake the opponent the fastest.

However, this is the characteristic of the substitute lineup, and it is difficult for the substitute lineup to be as stable and effective as the main lineup.

Livingston made a mistake and this time he came over much more cautiously. Come over and gesture to your teammates first, so that your teammates stand in a regular formation.

The two interior teammates stood in the corner position, and Li Feng and Tobias Harris hung in the bottom corner on both sides. Completely pull the space in the restricted area. As soon as he had space, Livingston chose to walk 45 degrees to the left, and at this time, Li Feng ran up and made a cross cover with him.

Li Feng got the basketball and made a quick pass to Diop in the right corner, and then Li Feng cut directly into the Timberwolves' restricted area.

Because of the previous Knicks' position, the space under the Timberwolves' basket was stretched, Li Feng rushed in and Diop passed the ball, and Li Feng was not facing any tall player from the Timberwolves, but Reedno who was defended by the Timberwolves.

Li Feng faced Lidno and got up directly. Hold down your opponent with bounces and weights and rub the basketball towards the rebound. With another easy two-point score, the Knicks tied it again.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Feng's hand began to feel hot. The shot is there, and this change is obvious. But Adelman still missed it, and he still wanted to drag out the time and give Lefu more rest.

But the Timberwolves came running again. Ridno made another mistake when he impatiently forced a shot from the three-point line at the top of the arc.

As a result, the basketball smashed to the front of the rebound and missed the shot, and the Knicks grabbed the rebound in the backcourt. There was also a chance to break fast.

Once there was a chance to break quickly, Livingston advanced to the middle circle and passed the basketball to Li Feng, who was hot.

Li Feng hit several shots in a row at this time, and he felt very good, and he was completely relaxed when he played. Dribbled to the Timberwolves' three-point line, pressed Gallabar with his shoulders and broke through two steps in a row, and suddenly made a sudden stop to dribble under his crotch, pulled the basketball out of two directions, and shot a wipe board shot on his head.

Li Feng shot from a distance, and all Galabal could do was harassment, but unfortunately now Li Feng began to convulsion again.

Once Li Feng starts pumping, it will be bloody. Li Feng's brushing shot, smashed the rebound, and then simply fell into the Timberwolves' basket.

At this time, the Knicks finally overtook it! The Knicks finally overtook the Timberwolves by two points, and it was not easy to lead by 2 points.

Li Feng seems to be a scoring machine to score points in a row, and the Timberwolves may have come off the bench with too much pressure, or they may be inexperienced.

When Gallabar passed the ball, he also made a mistake, he didn't notice that Diop was standing in front of Stiesma, but he passed the ball and was swept away by Diop with his hand.

Livingston flew over and grabbed the ball that was swept out, and immediately turned back to break fast, and he saw at a glance that Li Feng had arrived in the Timberwolves' half.

A big long slash pass, the basketball was hoisted into Li Feng's hand, Li Feng took the ball and bruised his shoulder into Lidno, got up and volleyed it.

"Bang dang!"

With a loud slam dunk, Li Feng announced to the Timberwolves, I'm back!

The Knicks took advantage of the opening two points of the second quarter to beat the Timberwolves by four points at 34-30.

And at this time, Adelman, who couldn't bear it anymore, finally called that damn timeout.

After calling a timeout, Adelman did two things, one was to ask the team to strengthen their defense, and the other was to put Love back on the court.

Da Fan's two things are not surprising, but the effect on the court is immediate.

As soon as Love returned to the court, the Timberwolves immediately found the backbone of the offense.

The Timberwolves just have a lot of good players, and Love is also the team's top priority. Because as long as Lefu exists, it can change the situation on the court.

There are two types of players who can influence the situation just by standing on the court, one is a big center, and the other is a shooter who runs without the ball.

The big center can attract the attention of the opposition just by standing on the court, and the outside players have a chance. As long as the off-ball running shooter is running, he can disrupt the opponent's position even if he doesn't shoot. These are two types that can decisively change the course of the pitch.

But alas. Now these two types of players have become endangered animals.

Love was back on the court and immediately drew a lot of attention from the Knicks, who picked up the ball at the free-throw line. I also want to repeat the old trick, attract the attention of the opponent myself, and then open the door to my teammates.

It's a pity that this time the Knicks were prepared and blocked the route of Love's pass to the low post. The Knicks, for their part, only noticed Love and the defense in the low post, but missed the defense outside the three-point line.

Love just changed his hand and passed the ball out, and Nelson, who had just been transferred to the court, immediately received the ball and hit a three-pointer in the open space.

Lefu is back. The Timberwolves' tactical system was immediately supported, and Nelson's three-point shot was able to shoot this smoothly. Lefou's containment has contributed a lot! The Timberwolves saw that they were about to stop the decline, and at this time, Li Feng went to the left waist of the Timberwolves to receive the basketball.

Li Feng took the ball over, and the Timberwolves came over immediately, but they were not resolute, Li Feng took the ball and pulled it slightly towards it, and Nelson, who was in charge of the bag, left immediately, so that. Roll over a little Gallabar.

Gallabar stood in place and just stretched out his hand, not daring to jump, he had suffered too many such losses in the last game.

But it's not okay if Gallabar doesn't jump, Li Feng sticks to Gallabar. Jumped backwards and made a jumper.

Li Feng is still hot now, and he shot 2 points again.

So far, Li Feng has continued to score points. There was no one round that missed, and the Knicks relied on Li Feng alone to continue to hold on.

However, on the pitch at this time, the defense of both teams is getting tougher. Both teams are fighting to the defence.

Under the high defensive intensity, the Timberwolves came over and made a passing error, and the Knicks hit the Timberwolves' basket, and Dragic and Love almost clashed.

Now it's hard for both teams to play a ball, it's hard!

The two teams have a lot of defensive intensity and are familiar with each other, although the Timberwolves rely on Love's containment to constantly create outside opportunities. But this kind of opportunity is often a split-second opportunity, and as long as you miss the Knicks' defense, you can save it immediately.

The Knicks, on the other hand, are trapped by the Monster's defense on the inside, and the Knicks are all scoring near the basket, and the Monsters are guarding the basket, and their scoring efficiency is also declining rapidly.

After Lefou's appearance, the game gradually became full of fouls, turnovers, physical contact, friction, and various styles of iron.

The two teams started to play extremely ugly at the beginning of the second quarter, and it was simply miserable, and the game completely turned into hand-to-hand combat. It's very difficult for each other to get two points, and every time they get two points, they have to pay a lot of money.

In this case, the Timberwolves will score easier than the Knicks in comparison between the two teams, because they have more shooters after all.

As a result, at the end of the second quarter, the two teams ended the half 45-43, and the Timberwolves led the Knicks by only two points.

In the second game of the series between the Knicks and the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves exploded in the first quarter, and the two teams fell into hand-to-hand combat together in the second quarter.

This feeling of being a world of difference in a few minutes before and after makes fans feel very puzzled. At this time, as a guest commentator, Hubi Brown asked questions to Jeff Van Gundy on behalf of the fans.

"Jeff, there was a big difference between the first and second quarters of today's game! You see what caused this. ”

Jeff Van Gundy had known that there would be such a problem, and he smiled at the camera and said:

"This may seem like an anomaly, but it's actually quite commonplace. In the first quarter, the Timberwolves hit a lot of unexpected shots. For example, focus on Pekovic, for example, let Lefu be more active at the free throw line! These are all things that the Knicks must not have imagined, so the Timberwolves' offense was smooth in the first quarter, and the Knicks suffered some losses. ”

But in the second quarter, Li Feng came back to tie the score at the beginning. At this time, the Timberwolves came back and wanted to play those unexpected things in the first quarter, and the Knicks were prepared. The Timberwolves naturally can't play, and the Knicks' offensive ability is average, and they can't play when they encounter the Timberwolves' strong defense. ”

"So don't look at the ugliness of the Timberwolves and Knicks now, but this ugliness is the real situation of the two teams. And this ugliness is destined not to last long, once one side of the Timberwolves and Knicks has figured out the other party's defense, its counterattack must be gorgeous. ”

"So in the second half, I think there will inevitably be one or two waves of vigorous scoring frenzy, but I don't know which team can adapt to the opponent's defense first and play a beautiful counterattack."

"Whoever strikes back first will have the initiative in the game."

As soon as Jeff Van Gundy said it, the format of the game was smooth. Even fans who don't usually watch the game have understood the current situation on the field.

At this time, Li Feng also followed his teammates into the locker room. In today's game, the first half was completely supported by Li Feng alone.

Li Feng scored 30 points in the first half alone, accounting for the vast majority of the team's scores, and Li Feng was very tired in such a game.

This back-to-back is too difficult, if it wasn't for a rest last night, Li Feng might not even be able to support the first half, and Li Feng will collapse immediately if he can't hold the Knicks. (To be continued......)
