Li Muhua didn't have much interest in watching the All-Star Game, since he had nothing to do anyway.

Not surprisingly, Wade won the All-Star MVP, and the league has already greeted him privately.

On February 2, the Thunder played away against the Timberwolves.

Since Garnett ran to the Celtics to win the championship, the Timberwolves have been focusing on their belly and never stopped. After picking Kevin Love, the Timberwolves had another idea and built a jumper around Love brigade.

For the Thunder's record ranking, this game is very important.

Before the game, when interviewed by the media, Brooks was full of confidence:
"Yes, we can win. The team's mission this year is to enter the playoffs. I know that the competition in the West is fierce. I hope the core players of the team can play the game I want!"

Brooks has clearly pointed to the core of the team, everyone knows in their hearts, Durant and Westbrook.

Timberwolves' Corey Brewer was unhappy:

"Kevin Durant is strong, but we're not weak either!"

When the game started, Corey Brewer was very positive.

The Timberwolves' lineup is not weak. The rookie Joni Flynn is a potential point guard. Al Jefferson is on the forward position.

Especially in terms of offensive ability to protect the frame inside, it is much higher than the Thunder.

The head coach is Kurt Rambis, a Lakers legend in the league.

As a well-known big bastard in the league, Kurt Rambis's luck is really nothing to say. When he was playing, his statistics were poor and he won four championship rings with the Lakers. At the beginning of the 21st century, three more were mixed, and the most recent one was mixed after the Lakers won the championship last year.

What the hell!

Lord of the Rings.

If it weren't for the head coach, I'm afraid no one would have heard that there is such a great man.

In the first quarter, Durant made a strong appearance, making sudden shots, and Cory Brewer couldn't take care of himself. The Thunder played a rare wave in the first quarter. Kevin Love came off the bench after the official timeout.

Kurt Rambis anxiously walked up and down the sidelines, yelling at the players.

As the head coach with the worst record in the league, Kurt Rambis' life is not easy.

The Timberwolves are often more like a jump-shooting team with no tactics. As long as they hold the ball, they can do it. Mi, has a beautiful outside shooting ability and can evacuate the inside line. However, slow foot movement is a flaw, and it is not a big threat to players in the first and second positions.

Li Muhua's speed is very fast, easily passing Love and assisting Durant to score under the basket.

Corey Brewer was on the defensive. He stepped forward and pressed hard at the beginning, but the defense soon relaxed. After a few steps, he lost it. He didn't know what was going on in his mind. Grade but sometimes the brain is not working.

As the starting No. [-], Li Muhua played so easily for the first time.

After Durant made an air cut, the threat to the basket was too great. The Timberwolves adopted a zone defense. Green got a chance from the outside and scored consecutive mid-range jumpers.

In this case, the Thunder always maintained the lead.

When it came to the bench lineup, Li Muhua played against Ramon Sessions, crushing the Timberwolves' No. [-] position in all directions, both offensively and defensively.

Ramon Sessions is a floor player who can't do anything. He likes to shoot without shooting ability, and likes to defend without lateral movement speed, which makes people speechless.

The Minnesota Star Tribune was not polite at all when commenting before the game, emphasizing the position of Ramon Sessions, suggesting to play the second position instead of facing Li Muhua at the point guard.

Yes, completely sieved.

The Timberwolves' defense basically relies on running. Harden has no room to play. He honestly throws three-pointers from the outside, and his three-point shooting rate of 3 of 2 is very efficient.

Although Green has been on the court, he has always restrained the number of shots. Basically, they are all shot from the outside.

In the third quarter, Corey Brewer began to explode, hit consecutive hits, and hit a wave of 10:0 to close the score.

ESPN doesn't have a good impression of Corey Brewer. They think Brewer is ineffective on the offensive end, can't organize and can't handle the ball, and the salary of almost 400 million a year is not satisfactory.

But the former NCAA Tournament MOP proved himself in this game.

When Li Muhua misplaced the attack, Corey Brewer was very surprised, hiding from the offensive players, equal to the air in defense, and completely became an undercover agent.

Kurt Rambis called a timeout and yelled at the sidelines, and the players in training couldn't even raise their heads.

It is not unreasonable that the Timberwolves' record is at the bottom of the league. In the game, the Timberwolves interpreted what defensive efficiency is, which is not the same as what coach Kurt Rambis imagined.

The Timberwolves' offensive tactics are very famous, the triangle offense.

Yes, Kurt Rambis has been an assistant coach for so many years. It can be said that he is familiar with the triangle tactics and copied them to the Timberwolves.

The mobile cover composed of Flynn and Al Jefferson, Corey Brewer as the third position is the starting point of tactics, and the center is used to support the pass, but Corey Brewer's mind is not very bright, and he forgets to break through with the ball Passing the ball, instead left Al Jefferson aside.

With the help of a screen, Li Muhua broke through to the basket and was double-teamed before throwing it to the bottom corner.

Green made a shot and hit the iron with a three-pointer.

At the basket, Kevin Love had no chance to take off, and Westbrook squeezed Ibaka to grab the rebound. At this moment, Ibaka was very embarrassed.

Westbrook brought the ball out, passed it directly, and Durant hit a jumper near the free throw line.

It is estimated that Brooks couldn't stand it anymore, called a timeout, and replaced Harden.

As soon as Harden came on the court, the backcourt defenders of the Timberwolves immediately retracted to the three-point line, and Harden's face immediately changed from black to red.

The Timberwolves put on a posture to let you shoot, and it is clear that they look down on people.

No team is a fool. Harden only averaged 2.4 three-pointers per game.

Durant asked for the ball with his back against Corey Brewer in the middle, Harden didn't see it at all, but buried his head and broke through.

Without playmaking, the Thunder are XJBD.

When Ibaka didn't have a screen, Durant stuck in the middle, compressing the inside space, and the outside line came out with open opportunities.

Li Muhua yelled, and Harden remembered to pass the ball and threw it to the backcourt. Li Muhua hit a three-pointer with a knife in his hand.
