About 4 minutes into the second quarter of the game between the Timberwolves and the Jazz, the Timberwolves changed sides.

After Takemichi and other starters returned to the court, with the efforts of Takemichi and Marbury, Garnett and others, the difference quickly narrowed to 6 points.

Midway through the second quarter, the Jazz put Brian Russell back on the court again, and as soon as he got on the court, the defensive pressure on the martial arts side escalated again.

Even in the second quarter of the game, Brian Russell dared to make moves more than in the first quarter, and the sense of pressure on the defense was stronger.

Garnett and Marbury and others still maintained a fairly good hand, and Wu Dao didn't take many shots in the second quarter, but he hastily scored 7 points in the limited time of possession and in the limited offensive rounds.

The Jazz are very satisfied with the effect of their team's restrictions on martial arts, while the Timberwolves are not too concerned about the fact that martial arts has reduced the number of shots.

After all, Marbury and the others played well, and although Wudao's performance today was "decent" and not as bright as in the previous games, at least the team still showed a good strength, which was enough to make Coach Philip breathe a sigh of relief.

What he fears the most is that the martial arts are completely muted, and at the same time, no one in the team has been able to stand up, and as a coach, this situation is the most terrifying.

That means that their Timberwolves are a "one-man team", as long as they limit the martial arts, their Timberwolves will not do anything, which is very detrimental to a team that aims for the playoffs or even the championship.

The outstanding performances of Marbury, Tom and Garnett also made Philip feel a little at ease.

At the end of the second quarter, the Timberwolves trailed by six points at 29:35.

The score of the two teams also came to 57:64, and the difference between the two teams expanded to 7 points.

Wudao scored 16 points in the second quarter and had a brilliant performance, but for those fans who have been watching the Timberwolves game, Wudao, who scored 16 points in the half, played obviously a little "convergent" today.

In the second quarter of the Jazz, their bench No. 3 Adam Kee Fae (206cm/104kg, No. 10 pick in the first round in 1992) blew up Mitchell on the Timberwolves side.

And coincidentally, Adam Kiefer's hand is quite good today, and his luck is also very good, how to play, Tom can sometimes bypass the block and defend in time, Adam Kife can still send the ball into the net with strong shots.

Even if the shot is slightly off, the basketball can fall into the net after two bumbles on the basket.

Wu Dao once wondered if this kid had entered the "zone" mode and hung up!

This guy scored 12 points in a single quarter, which was the first contributor to the Jazz's ability to lead the Timberwolves by so many points.

During the break, Tom, who had suffered a big loss, was a little annoyed, wiped his sweat, and then suddenly smashed the sweat towel on the empty bench, venting the anger in his heart.

Seeing Tom's appearance, Wu Dao took the place of Philip's coaching role, and enlightened: "Tom, what's there to be angry about?"

"Who hasn't played in the NBA a game to break out?"

"That kid is shit luck, not as good as yours in terms of hard power."

"It's cold, so I can't get in."

Martial arts' words did make Tom's face look better. As Wu Dao said, in the NBA, who hasn't had an "explosive" game?

Adam Kiffe was meant to be a first-round pick, and in previous games, the guy has always started, and his playing time is almost half split between Brian Russell.

The two No. 3 positions of the Jazz have different functions, one is more offensive than defensive, and the other is more defensive than offensive.

The Jazz will alternate the two players or play together at the right time, depending on how the opponent is line-up.

The Jazz noticed that Tom played well in the first quarter, and that Tom's 191cm, 86kg No. 2 Jeff Hornacek was a little too easy, and they were also planning to use Adam Kee to give Tom a boost.

Although Tom also scored 6 points in the second quarter, Tom was a little weaker than Adam Keefe's performance.

With a seven-point deficit on their backs, after a short break, the game between the Timberwolves and the Jazz entered the third quarter.

All the starters on the Jazz side, except for Jeff Hornacek, who was originally in the No. 2 position, was replaced by Adam Kife in the No. 3 position.

On the Timberwolves side, it is a starting lineup with Wu Dao, Tom and others.

The Timberwolves' style of play has changed little from the previous two quarters, and the proportion of the ball in the martial arts is still in a greatly weakened state, and the offense is more around Marbury and Garnett.

After the Jazz replaced Adam Keefe, Tom's shooting percentage dropped significantly, and the offensive success rate was mediocre.

As soon as the third quarter began, Tom, who was already in a declining state, continued to hit iron, allowing the opponent to seize the opportunity and expand the difference to 11 points.

After realizing this, Marbury also reduced the ball on Tom's side in time and increased the proportion of his own breakouts, and Martial Arts often provided Marbury with blocking after realizing this.

With the help of martial arts, Marbury sometimes drilled out of the gaps of the Jazz defenders, and sometimes used martial arts to block and shoot sideways three-point jumpers.

Unlike the previous two quarters, Marbury's hand in the third quarter was obviously not as good as the previous two quarters, and he shot a lot of iron.

In terms of rebounding protection, the Jazz did a pretty good job, and the Timberwolves grabbed very limited offensive rebounds.

Tom and Marbury both slipped in form, affecting the team's overall offensive rotation.

Under the influence of the two of them, Garnett's state also became erratic.

Of course, this is what Garnett himself thinks about himself, and he feels that he has been influenced by his teammates, and some useless runs and frequent goals conceded by his teammates have made Garnett play impatiently.

made his posture deformed when he attacked with the ball, and under the defense of Malone, Garnett, who could not concentrate wholeheartedly, must have suffered a "tragic Waterloo".

Halfway through the second half, the Timberwolves only scored 10 points, while the Jazz scored 16 points, and the difference between the two teams widened again.

The score also came to 67:80, and the difference came to 13 points.

Seeing the game time passing minute by minute, in the face of a 13-point difference, Marbury is also trying to find a way to break the game.

"Bang !!"

The Timberwolves offense round, the game really entered the white heat, Marbury held the ball at the top of the arc to observe the movement of his teammates, and at this time, a loud noise suddenly came from not far away.

has been following the martial arts, interspersed from the horn position to the paint area, and then went to the bottom corner, and then ran back to the horn position, Brian Russell, suddenly mixed his left foot with his right foot, directly stumbled, and fell to the floor like a dog chewing.

"Give the ball!"

The referee didn't blow the whistle, and Wu Dao shouted at Marbury as he quickly returned to the horn position.

Large vacancies.

Seeing this scene, Marbury's eyes quickly lit up, and he gave the ball to the side of Martial Arts, Brian Russell only had time to get up from the ground, and Martial Arts had already quickly fried the ball to adjust its direction and quickly shot against the three-point line.

"Huh!"

With a soft sound, the basketball penetrated the net, and the third quarter of the game was played until now, and Takedo scored his first goal of the quarter.

Wu Dao's three-point shot was too timely for the Timberwolves, the difference was narrowed to 8 points, not to mention, Wu Dao's goal seemed to be the key to breaking the game for the Timberwolves.

“ohhhh——”

The Timberwolves' bench let out a burst of cheers, and some Timberwolves fans also chanted excitedly when they saw Martial Arts score.

Brian Russell stood up, his lips were a little cracked, a little blood oozing out, Brian Russell stuck out his tongue and licked it, and the blood was gone.

Looking at the martial arts who quickly ran back away, Brian Russell gasped, only feeling the indescribable soreness of his legs.

"Are you alright?"

"You look tired!"

Malone walked to Brian Russell's side, looked at Brian Russell's tired look, couldn't help but pat Brian Russell's shoulder, and asked with concern.

"It's fine."

"That kid is starting to exert his strength, I'll guard against him."

Brian Russell shook his head, waved his arms, and ran quickly toward the frontcourt.

"Are you really okay?" Ma Long looked at the palms of his hands full of sweat, and couldn't help but whisper with some concern, and then also quickened his pace and ran towards the front.

In the Jazz offensive round, Takemichi looked at Brian Russell, who was approaching quickly, and a bright smile appeared on his face:

"Tired, aren't you?"

"With such a big weight, you have been defending me for so long, you should be about to be unable to hold on."

"Don't force yourself, if you can't bear it, go down and rest."

Wu Dao's face was also covered with sweat for a while, and he looked at Brian Russell, who was tired, and said with a smile. The opponent is the passive defensive side, running a lot more than himself.

Wu Dao can see that this guy is already a little unbearable, although the other party's two arms are very strong, but there is obviously a gap with him in terms of endurance.

"Can't bear it?"

"What stupid are you talking about?"

"How could I not bear it."

"It's you, you just scored in this quarter, right?"

"This is your last goal of the quarter!"

Brian Russell touched the sweat on his face and said, and then saw his teammates bring the ball into the front court, and immediately turned around and quickly leaned his back on Wu Dao's body.

When his body leaned towards Wu Dao's body, his elbow also slammed into Wu Dao's body.

At this moment, if Martial Dao is raising his arms to defend, this time, it will directly smash into Martial Dao's armpit.

And at this moment, Brian Russell suddenly felt a weight on his back, and the whole martial arts person was directly attached to his body, and at the same time, Brian Russell felt a weight on his arm and was pressed down.

At the moment when Howard Easley sent the ball to Brian Russell, Wu Dao's figure jumped out directly from the side, and he actually squeezed Brian Russell directly away and took the ball in his hand.

Brian Russell subconsciously reached out to block, and the martial arts that started with the ball was also swinging his arm, and his left hand smashed directly into Brian Russell's chest.

In this game, Wu Dao only had some "regular" physical contact with Brian Russell before, and this kind of dark elbow was the first time.

Brian Russell always thought that this high school student didn't know how to play these "grown-ups" because he was young. This time, he was directly sturdy, his breath was stagnant, and he couldn't run at all.

At this time, Wu Dao, who completed the steal, had already taken the lead and entered the Jazz half.

In the cheers of the Timberwolves fans, Wu Dao grabbed the ball with one hand and directly glided and dunked, scoring easily.

Although Howard Easley, who was pursuing, followed behind Takemi, he didn't even have the idea of jumping, so he watched Takemichi dunk and score.

The difference narrowed to 6 points, and Timberwolves fans saw Takemichi score one after another, and their interest rose for a while.

Jordan, who was already bored on the side of the court, saw Wudao's continuous scores, his eyes lit up, and he sat up a little straighter.

He can see that if the Timberwolves don't make changes and continue to play like that, unless the Jazz's offense suddenly collapses, then the Timberwolves will lose, which is inevitable.

And now, instead of waiting for the Jazz's offensive efficiency to decrease, he waited until the young man exploded.

"Good!"

"Very well done!"

"Defend, defend one more goal, and narrow the difference to within 5 points!"

Philip shouted loudly as he spoke, waving his arms to direct the team to take position.

After Wu Dao quickly returned to the court, he saw Brian Russell running slowly, and said with a smile:

"Do you think you're successful defending me?"

"I was told that the three points were my last goal, right?"

"And now?"

"Is this my last goal of the quarter?"

Martial Arts Yin and Yang asked Brian Russell in a weird manner, making Brian Russell's already black face even darker.

"It's cool to do a little action, right?"

"Do you think I'm a soft persimmon, pinch it as you like?"

As he spoke, Takemichi smiled and looked at Brian Russell's sweat-soaked jersey clinging to his body, Takedo continued:

"That dog of yours just ate and fell beautifully."

"This won't be the last time you'll wrestle."

While the two were talking, Jazz's Howard Easley had already entered the front court with the ball, and Wu Dao walked in front of Howard Easley without saying a word, leaning against each other and blocking the opponent's eyes with one hand.

Martial arts are very powerful, Brian Russell supported an arm, but he couldn't resist martial arts, and then he was not reining in, his hands suddenly pushed towards martial arts, and then quickly ran towards Howard Easley to try to catch the ball.

But at this moment, Brian Russell suddenly had a heavy foot, and the martial arts that should have been pushed away by him were actually on the side of his body, and the moment he unloaded part of his strength, he stepped forward, and happened to be in front of him.

It gives people the feeling that Martial Arts wants to compete with him for the forward position, and being tripped by Martial Arts, Brian Russell directly lost his center of gravity, fell forward, and threw himself directly on the ground.

"Bang!!"

And the next second he fell to the ground, Wu Dao's body also landed straight on his body, making a muffled sound.

"Bang!"

The next second when the two fell to the ground, the referee also blew the whistle at the right time.
