NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 138 Did he want to... Hit back from a high position?
Just a timeout, the Timberwolves let the Celtics fans know why they were able to achieve "unbeaten in a single month" in December and become the current number one in the league!

After a wave of 6-1 scoring, the Timberwolves opened up the point difference again...

Although the Celtics team was working hard just now, the Timberwolves assistant team on the sidelines could see clearly that it was basically Juwan's excellent anticipation defenses on the defensive end.

The guy has shown his basketball IQ over the last few possessions.

However, the Timberwolves themselves know their situation.

When they saw that Zhu Wan had seen through several sets of tactics they used frequently, they knew clearly that they only needed to change their formations to immediately turn the situation around.

This is indeed the case. When Kevin Garnett is no longer the first receiver of the Timberwolves in a critical moment, when Cassel dribbles to the frontcourt, he no longer chooses to attack himself, but let the person who catches the ball attack. The Timberwolves immediately played a smooth offense. Juwan, who just showed his basketball IQ, has not been so accurate in his predictions on the defensive end of these rounds!

Well, he's already great!

It is not easy to figure out the Timberwolves' habitual style of play in just one first half!
At least so far, except for Zhu Wan, there are only a few guys.

Juwan is the only rookie among them.

The cheers at the scene also stopped again at this time.

Many Boston fans originally thought that the Celtics had already started, and the wave of scoring just now was too smooth.And in previous games, the Celtics did the same, and then won the game!

Originally, they thought the game would be the same.

But now it seems that the Timberwolves are worthy of being the Timberwolves, and the number one position in the league is indeed not due to luck.

Their ability to adjust is simply too strong!

As for the Celtics, from their winning streak in February to the present, they can say a word by looking at their appearance, and they are in full swing, but they still don't seem to be enough in front of this Timberwolves.

Maybe this game is over...

Watching Kevin Garnett score another two points with his iconic turnaround jumper, widening the point difference to almost double digits, Juwan made another forced three-pointer from outside the three-point line, which made the pessimistic Celtics fans suddenly stop their pessimistic thoughts.

At this moment, they suddenly had hope again!
At least so far, Boston's new core is still trying to help this team win the powerful enemy of the Timberwolves!

It was also the three-pointer, and suddenly there was a huge shout at the scene.

After this burst of shouts, there was a firm voice of support from the audience:

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

Amidst these huge cheers, the veteran Cassell was rarely forced by Atkins to retreat in embarrassment, and his dribbling movements became faster and faster, but Cassell himself found that he couldn't get rid of Atkins anyway. This guy entangled him very well in this round.

no solution anymore!

He passes the ball quickly.

The closest Sprewell was waiting to catch the ball, but he heard Kevin Garnett say "behind", and just glanced back, the figure wearing the Celtics' No. 13 uniform rushed past his narration.

And took the ball directly in his hands.

Oops!

He hurried to chase.

The guy suddenly took a step and pulled away from him.

This made him a little Cao Dan.

Didn't you say that your physical fitness is not good?

It is said that "you can't jump high, you can't run fast"! ?
Why is this explosive power better than mine!

When he failed to stop Juwan in the first place, it would be difficult for the Timberwolves to stop the Celtics' offense this round... It's not that Juwan's explosive power is really that good, he just used the first step to distance himself from the "madman".

But he's all right!

Someone hurry up!
Maybe it's not a nice thing to praise other men, but it's definitely a compliment to praise this guy!

No, not a compliment!

It should be said that it is a fact!
That's beyond description...

That's really... fast!
When Zhu Wan succeeded in stealing, this guy was still in Canada. As soon as Zhu Wan reached the halfway line, he was almost to the opposite three-point line.

abnormal!
I cursed in my heart.

Zhu Wan also showed no regrets, and quickly threw the ball towards the latter.

Turning around to catch the ball, Wade took a few steps forward and dunked the ball. The scene was once again overwhelmed by cheers.

"Defend, defend, let's defend against the next attack and bring the point difference back to 5 points!"

The goal was scored, and the point difference was still 7 points. This is indeed not a big point difference, but there are only a few minutes left in the third quarter.

If the Celtics are no longer passive in the fourth quarter, then what they have to do now is to defend the next Timberwolves offense as Juwan said.

The stalemate can no longer continue!

If the stalemate continues, the situation will only be more beneficial to the Celtics...

Kassel immediately handed the ball to the "madman" as soon as halftime passed!
Since the timeout just now, the Timberwolves have been changing formations and trying different offenses. This is also to avoid letting the Celtics again, mainly because Juwan successfully predicted it!
Sanders is really taboo about this guy.

Of course, it is true that we should keep this guy in such high regard!

No, they paid so much attention just now, did this guy complete another steal?

Some guys, that's it. He can always shine his own light on the court.

"Dangdang!"

No, Zhu Wan successfully assisted in the defense again and interfered with the "madman"'s layup. Tyson caught the ball, didn't rush to pass it, and gave the ball to Zhu Wan immediately.

Zhu Wan, who was holding the ball, was not in a hurry, and slowly passed the half court with the ball.

"Madman" played singles in the round just now, and everyone in the team was trying to find a way to help spread out the formation, which also led to the fact that their entire positions were scattered, and two of them were near the center line.

Not suitable for the Celtics under the fast break!

Knowing that there was no chance to make a fast break, Zhu Wanfang helped defend all the way in.

Juwan is clear so far in the game.

He must focus more on the defensive end. Only in this game can they win...

Because the rest of the team needs his help.

Although the "handsome guy" has hit two three-pointers, he has only taken 7 shots so far. His tactical status lies here, and it is impossible to become the focus of the team's shots!

In fact, although the Timberwolves have been changing their offensive routines every time, even they themselves have to admit that many of their offensive routines cannot really prevent Juwan.

When someone is attacking, Zhu Wan can still predict in advance and make supplementary defense.

Just like "Madman" attacked this ball!
The probability of his singles is at least 4 times higher than his assists and passes, which is caused by his style of play.

Because of this, Zhu Wan saw the opportunity and followed the last step closely, and he could easily complete the interference.

Well, he did just that...

Another point worth mentioning is that without Rasheed Wallace, Juwan would not have been able to do such a successful defense.

Including the previous rounds, it was the same.

Rasheed Wallace allows the opponent to choose a lot fewer shots, so that he only needs to choose from the few remaining methods...

Zhu Wan, who was slowly dribbling across the half court, kept looking at the basket, especially after half court, when he looked at the basket several times, and Szczerbiak had a panoramic view of his reaction.

He also subconsciously wanted to pounce forward.

Zhu Wan's ability to meet the shot made him suffer a lot in this game, and he had to be afraid.

He just slowly dribbled the ball across the half. When Juwan was approaching him, he suddenly made a through ball and hit the ball to the basket. Rasheed Wallace under the basket made a small hook, and under the interference of Kevin Garnett, he easily drove the ball into the basket.

The goal was beautiful and Rasheed Wallace scored easily.

"Nice!"

The high fives of the two made the scene burst into loud cheers.

The point difference came to 5 points.

Kevin Garnett looked at Juwan, and couldn't help but think of what he said before the game started.

No matter how well Zhu Wan played in this game, it will not have any impact on the final result.

At first he didn't think he was wrong.

But now he found that it seemed that this guy was slowly making the game more suspenseful through his play.

He really underestimated this newcomer!

"ball!"

It's just that underestimation is underestimation.

Kevin Garnett forced the ball on the next attack, then quickly turned around and shot a long two-pointer across the arc. Juwan made up the first time and caused interference, but the ball still fell steadily into the basket.

"Ho!"

A shout full of fighting spirit.

Then he thumped his chest again.

Kevin Garnett used a key goal to let everyone know why he is called "Wolf King"!
This passionate roar made the Timberwolves who were a little flustered just now regain their composure.

Cassel made an emergency stop and shook Atkins 5 meters away in front of him. He even shook his shoulders deliberately and made a shot.

But soon, he regretted his embarrassment.

How good it would be to shoot directly!

because……

"Snapped!"

A hand protruding from the side slapped his hand away.

Like a volleyball cap.

It flew straight into Wade's hands.

Wade went berserk again.

But just when all the fans thought that another violent visual feast would be ushered in, Wade, who went to the frontcourt, passed the ball from his crotch to the back when no one was marking.

There, Zhu Wan grabbed the ball and dunked with one arm, which also made the basket "boom".

The bounce is not enough, the strength is enough!

The reaction of the Boston fans in the auditorium was also much greater than Juwan expected.

It blew up the sky!

"Wow, the dunk from Juwan, this time the Celtics are even more difficult to stop!"

The enthusiastic commentary of the on-site commentator answered the reason why the scene was so enthusiastic!
Although Wade's dunks are explosive, I can't get enough of them, but in the final analysis, this is nothing new. As far as his physical fitness is concerned, it is a new thing if he doesn't dunk two or three in a game!
But Zhu Wan dunked, that was so fresh!

So far this season, there have not been more than 4 times.

Especially this kind of linkage with Wade, under normal circumstances, Zhu Wan passes the ball and Wade dunks, but today it is reversed and becomes, Wade passes the ball and Zhu Wan dunks!
Because it is fresh, the cheers are loud!

Of course, more importantly, the dunk was Zhu Wan!

There were shouts and shouts at the scene.

The Celtic players, who were still a little bit suppressed just now, once again gained the upper hand in momentum.

In this game, there are only two points to look at, the strength of the two sides, and the state of the two sides on the day of the game.

But sometimes, momentum can also be the key to a team's victory!

Just like this moment...

The point difference between the two teams returned to 5 points, and the score remained at 5 points until the end of the third quarter!
The Celtics suppressed the Timberwolves in momentum and allowed them to maintain the score difference at 5 points. Although they couldn't get any closer, you must know that they narrowed the score difference from 9 points to 5 points.

This means that the Celtics have the upper hand in the past period of time.

This is enough!

The next 5-point difference will continue to shrink in the fourth quarter...

12 minutes, 5 points difference, this game is really not difficult to play!

"That newcomer, you have to create some trouble for him!"

"It would be great if we could hit a few of them single-handedly!"

Juwan only scored 6 points in the third quarter, which was not the highest score of the Celtics, but he has become a thorn in Sanders' side and a thorn in his flesh at the moment!

The reason is also very simple, Zhu Wan also got 3 steals, 2 blocks and 3 assists in this quarter!

This can no longer be described as "omnipotent"!

This Nima is a monster!

Such an evildoer must be taken seriously, so that he can no longer have such a sense of existence!
It’s just that the Celtics’ protection of Juwan is also very good. He has always been matched with Szczerbiak, and there are Tyson Chandler and Rasheed Wallace standing behind him.
"Madman" does have speed, but with his state, is he sure he can score under the basket guarded by Tyson Chandler and Rasheed Wallace after breaking through Juwan's defense?

Sanders feels that he is more likely to be "made dumplings"!
Kevin Garnett does have height, but the problem is that he is not sure how high Kevin Garnett's singles success rate is in front of Juwan...

He is struggling with conflicts.

The fourth quarter is coming soon.

In the first round, the Celtics had the right to attack. When Sanders saw their attack, he was a little dazed: Atkins dribbled the ball for halftime, and instead of handing over the ball at the first time, he waited for something on the right side.

And Zhuwan didn't stand on the flank as usual, but first sank to the bottom, and then suddenly ran towards the high position. While reaching the high position, he quickly received the pass from Atkins.

At this time, it was too late for Szczerbiak to stop it.

Does he want to... high back?
