NBA super point guard

Novak was in the bottom corner, received a pass from Li Muhua, and made a direct shot.

This pass made the Timberwolves instantly confused.

The biggest meaning of evacuating the inside line is to allow players to make air cuts and achieve close-range scoring, but the Timberwolves did not expect that the Knicks played tricks and still handed over to the outside line to play.

How to defend, the Timberwolves are a little at a loss.

Li Muhua entered the half court again with the ball. This time, Barea and Ridnor double-teamed at the same time. Li Muhua did not look for Novak, but hung inside. Chandler turned around and hooked.

Nikola Pekovic didn't even have time to react, allowing Chandler to score easily.

It's not that the Timberwolves don't have an inside line, it's just that the defense is not strong enough and they play relatively softly.

No way, Kevin Love is a softie, the core is the same, let alone other role players.

Anyway, no one cares, you fight hard, we just hide.

The overall height is not enough, and the rebound is not guaranteed.

This is not easy to fight.

Li Muhua scored 5 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. Before the end of the second quarter, the Knicks and Timberwolves tied again.

Didn't take the lead, the Timberwolves' outside touch has improved, and they have a lineup of one big and four small, and it is very difficult to defend.

The first half is over.

In the studio, O'Neal and Van Gundy laughed.

"I found a strange thing. When LI is not on the court, the Knicks are easy to fall behind, and they are not even opponents, but as soon as he is on the court, the Knicks recover. I have seen a lot of tapes of him before. Of course, we I also played against each other, which shows that LI's observation ability is very strong, and he can see the enthusiasm and status of the players!"

"Yes, but it is not good news for the Knicks. Last season, they relied on Carmelo Anthony, and this season they rely on LI. The performance of role players cannot directly affect the game, and they rely on the main players to open the game. situation!"

"Okay, that's all for the commentary in the first half, and we'll see you later in the second half!"

At this time, O'Neill came with his famous work "Five Great Jiong".

"Look, this is the Heat's game yesterday, haha, LeBron James walked again"

"The referee didn't blow it, but James was holding the ball in a daze. It seems that I think about why the referee didn't blow it."

locker room.

The Knicks are bragging and shitting.

Playing against the Timberwolves is so difficult, but no one takes it seriously, because Van Gundy said that as long as the core players stand up, the game will definitely win, and there is no need to consider the role of role players.

This is not a good phenomenon, but there is currently no way to change this fact.

Anthony sat on the bench enjoying the feeling of his feet in the ice bucket and watched his teammates chat.

Chandler was excited.

In this game, it can be said that the whole team is playing for Chandler, and the offense is also very good, but it has lost the importance of the boxing champion at the basket, that is, defense.

Everyone's energy is limited. Even talented players can only focus on one end, either attacking or defending.

As for the outside line, needless to say, the Timberwolves have completely opened their shots.

After talking with Li Muhua for a while, Coach Woodson called the players to stand together. Li Muhua said directly:
"Guys, we are not in a good state right now. Amare's absence is one aspect. On the other hand, this team does not belong to me or Cameron. When I entered the team, Cameron said However, we need to help each other, not someone to command whom!"

"This is the third team I've experienced, whether it's Durant or Nowitzki, they are the same."

"Tyson, don't forget what we practiced for a few months, the playoffs or the championship, defense is something we can't leave behind."

Chandler's face flushed instantly, and he nodded.

Some words, coach Woodson can't speak, need the core of the team to say, Anthony has always played a red-faced role in the team, Stoudemire is not around, the villain can only be played by Li Muhua.

Novak raised his hand, and Li Muhua nodded, "Stephen, what do you want to say?"

"I want to apologize!"

Novak looked sad, "I always think of Tyson on the offensive end, so I didn't attack when it was time to attack and missed a lot of opportunities. Dude, I'm really sad!"

"I always misunderstood the meaning of wrong cooperation. Not taking a shot proved my cowardice. I found that I should make a change. Yes, I want to become a sharp sword on the offensive end!"

"I said hello to Kent and he offered to cover for me."

"Don't worry about the attack from outside, just leave it to me!"

Li Muhua didn't want to hear it anymore, it wasn't for you to show your loyalty, why are you so active.

"Okay, Stephen, the game is about to start, let's listen to Mr. Mike's arrangements for the second half. What I hope is that we really start with defense."

"no problem!"

Anthony clapped his hands immediately, looking very happy.

The change of identity did not make Anthony feel jealous. Originally, everyone gathered together to win the championship, ball possession, and status?
Does his big brother in New York lack these?
No, one championship ring is missing, or one isn't enough.

Novak responded most positively. With the help of Kidd's shoulder, he jumped onto the bench and shouted slogans:
"The championship! Our goal is the championship!"

Kidd walked away with a look of disgust.

This Nima is an idiot.

The third quarter begins.

Coach Woodson didn't make many adjustments to the lineup.

In the first half, the Knicks were not lacking in offense. The defensive loopholes were relatively large. They knew that the outside line was penetrated by the Timberwolves, and no one cared about it. How could Li Muhua defend against it alone.

But as soon as the third quarter started, the Knicks let the Timberwolves know what it means to be strong.

Tough, oppressive.

From physical confrontation to small movements.

JR Smith was the most ruthless one. He pushed Ridnour into a dead corner when he came up, causing Ridnour to make a mistake in holding the ball. After rolling continuously on the floor, JR Smith grabbed the ball and threw it to Li Muhua.

The Knicks attacked, and Li Muhua directly threw high.

Anthony jumps up for an alley dunk.

Kirilenko, who returned to defense the fastest, even stretched out his hand, unable to stop it at all.

On the surface, Anthony looks a bit fleshy, but in fact, when it comes to waist strength, Anthony is not bad. He may not be able to complete a windmill dunk in the air, but his jumping and state are already at their peak.

The Timberwolves attacked and also made tactical changes. Barea directly played the rhythm, Alex received the ball from the wing and made a strong breakthrough, and then distributed it to Ridnour.

Ridnour scored a mid-range jumper.
