Chapter 187 Please Be Realistic!

For today's Timberwolves, one win is not only a burden, but also a burden. After all, their wins are one game ahead of the Mavericks, so... if you want to be last, you can't win, and you can't win the remaining few games!

The rules of the draft are like this. The probability of the bottom-to-last No. 25 pick is 20%, and the second is less than [-]%. Anyway, this season is bad, who would be afraid of worse?

However, if they want to be worse, the Timberwolves still need to grasp the scale, at least not to be criticized for being bad, so whether the acting skills are superb or not is very important.

With Doug West's superb performance and the team's situation in a good situation... If a timeout is called, he will definitely be sprayed with mental retardation, and if Doug West is replaced, there is no good reason to explain it.

Sidney Lowe can only pin his hopes on Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan, but Jerry Sloan sat indifferently on the sidelines and didn't even call a timeout, even though he was scored 15 points in the first quarter The score difference came out.

In fact, it's not that Jerry Sloan is calm enough. On the one hand, he knows that the Timberwolves will continue to play this scene, and on the other hand...the Jazz are currently ranked fourth in the West.

You know, in the rules of the playoffs, when fourth and fifth face off, there is not much difference between the two rankings. As for the third place, winning the remaining games is not enough.

Although the Jazz are advancing all the way, they are actually overtaking halfway. It is not bad to go from sixth to fourth. After all, the top-ranked teams are not idle, and they are like today's Timberwolves. The record baby is also a victory hurricane.

Based on this, the ranking in the West has basically stabilized and there will not be too many changes. In this game, it doesn't matter if the Jazz wins or loses, but Jerry Sloan knows that the Timberwolves will help solve the current disadvantages and difficulties of the Jazz. of!

……

On the sidelines of the Timberwolves, Sidney Lowe's face was heavy, actively arranging alternative tactics.

"Doug, you have to reduce your shots in this quarter, don't make trouble for me!" Sidney Lowe said to Doug West with a cold face: "Of course, don't reduce the number of shots too much, try to Shoot in front of Jazz defenders, be realistic!"

lifelike?

What kind of nonsense ghost request is this? !

Doug West felt bitter. After all, he scored 22 points in the first quarter and maintained his current touch. In the second quarter, he is very likely to be able to break through the team led by 'Skywalker' David Thompson and 'Iceman' George Gervin. He maintained a scoring record in a single quarter, and even broke into the list of the highest scoring records in a single game.

However, such a good opportunity is about to be given up. Doug West is not bitter. On the one hand, he is sacrificing for the team, and on the other hand, he is playing the highest performance of his career. He feels that there must be a compromise. .

"Okay, I'll do my best!"

"Doug, thank you for your efforts." Sidney Lowe knows that his request is unreasonable, but there is no way... this is what they have to do, because the interests of the team are always higher than the interests of individuals. Of course, if Doug West refused, and he would agree with Doug to continue, but fortunately Doug agreed.

……

The second game.

Although coach Jerry Sloan is still calm, the Jazz, who are 15 points behind, are a little impatient, because usually the big difference in the first quarter is a gift they give to their opponents, but today it was given to them by the Western Timberwolves.

As soon as the game started, in view of Doug West's astonishing performance, the Jazz... Crottey launched a tight defense against this big brother, and this big brother is just like what he promised his coach, in front of Crottey. The noodles are dry and pulled out.

Under normal circumstances, given the distance of the defender, the shooting rate of such forced shots is not high, but ... Doug West is a godsend.

Swish!

He hit another shot in the opening game.

……

When it was the Jazz's turn to attack, although the Timberwolves' perimeter defense was weak, the Jazz couldn't see the shooting percentage and handed the ball to Malone. Malone singled out the Timberwolves' power forward Marlon Maxey. After a few tops, Maxey Back again and again.

This is not for acting, it is too difficult for Maxey to compete with Malone, and after Malone pushed him away, he turned around and shot a jumper.

Boom!

Malone hits the iron!

The rebound confrontation between Li Shengli and Mourning began. He looked up at the ball, and predicted the landing point. However, the ball hit the basket and bounced directly to the outside line. Both of them were stunned and couldn't catch up.

Fortunately, Stockton ran after the ball, and threw back the ball that was about to go out of bounds with a save.

To be reasonable, in this situation, Doug West was a bit far away and couldn't make a save, but he still took a symbolic and slow step, as if to block the save pass.

boom!

How the hell is that?

Not only the Jazz, but the Timberwolves players feel like hell!

It was a coincidence that it came sooner rather than later. The ball that Stockton saved back directly smashed into Doug's arms, even Doug himself was dumbfounded, but he hesitated amidst the explosive cheers of the audience.

take two steps?

Let's run, it's not appropriate not to run at this kind of fast break opportunity!

So Doug ran wildly with the ball, and the Jazz couldn't catch up behind him. He succeeded in a layup, which attracted cheers from the Timberwolves fans.

26 points!

Doug - West has 26 points, while the Jazz trailed by 19 points.

……

Malone, who was the first to arrive from the bottom line, served to Stockton. Timberwolves guard Mitchell Williams accidentally touched the ball with his hand, changed the direction of the ball, and rolled to Doug's feet again.

Oh shit!

Can I still get someone to act?

Doug was stunned for a moment, picked up the ball and pulled it out again, one meter away from the three-point line, there was no aim at all, he didn't believe that this kind of ball could still be scored?

Swish!

Three point hit!

The target center exploded, the audience was small, but they couldn't hold back their uniform roar, swept the audience, and Doug felt like he was going crazy because his score had soared to 29 points.

You know, his current scoring average is 19.3 points per game, and now... in a little more than one quarter, he scored 100 points with 29% shooting. This kind of offensive efficiency is extremely terrifying.

To be more honest, Doug's original intention was not to act too fake, but he was the one who was most suitable for shooting at every opportunity, and he himself did not expect that he would be so accurate today, as if... he could make a shot with his eyes closed. ?

……

poisonous!

The Timberwolves' home court is poisonous!

Li Shengli and a group of teammates really have nothing to say, because every ball seems to automatically go into Doug's arms, but this guy's touch is still hot, no matter how he throws it.

It's not that the Jazz didn't work hard, but that Doug's state is too crazy, and he can shoot against the defense. The inside combination of Li Shengli and Malone is strong in defense, but the outside shooting is still out of reach.

At the same time, Jerry Sloan couldn't hold it anymore and called a timeout, and Sidney Lowe's face on the other side was green.

In the first quarter, Doug West was brave!

In the second quarter, the Jazz made a lot of mistakes in the opening game!

He even once suspected that Jazz did it on purpose, that he wanted to make things difficult for him, and he never thought that his situation would be so embarrassing... When he desperately wanted to win, he couldn't win; The situation is so good? !

How to do?

What else can I do, do it!

Sidney Lowe gritted his teeth, since it is not easy to lose, then win, I will shoot you to death with Doug West!
