Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 142 Raiders
"understand!"

When the timeout expired, the Timberwolves chose to substitute, and Budinger replaced Bennett.

Jogel frowned looking at the Timberwolves lineup on the field. He didn't know why the opponent chose to replace Bennett at this critical moment.

And on the commentary desk at the FedEx Center, Barkley and Smith were also discussing the substitution.

"Kenny, why did Chen choose to replace Anthony at this time and replace him with Chase? Could it be that this is a surprise soldier from the Timberwolves."

"I don't know, but I believe that since Chen chose to replace Chase, he has his own reasons. To be honest, Chen shocked me enough in this series. His performance is not like a rookie at all, but like an experienced player." Joeger’s Grizzlies have been studied thoroughly by him, and it can be said that choosing insider Oden as the core of this series is a very good choice.” Smith said.

"I also agree with what you said. Greg's performance is definitely the performance of a top superstar. In fact, it can be seen from this point that Portland did not choose him wrong. It was just the Portlanders. Bad luck."

The two on the commentary stage chatted from the Timberwolves to the draft that year.

The game on the court continued, and Barkley and Smith were soon attracted by the game.

Yi Jianlian's serve from the sideline, Rubio received the ball after taking advantage of Middleton's screen, and then dribbled the ball to the left, Budinger near the bottom corner moved directly up, and then put on a pick-and-roll position, Rubio Oli took two steps laterally on the pick-and-roll and then handed the ball to Oden, whose back was facing the basket, and took away Prince, while Conley stared at Budinger, who was standing 45 degrees to the left.

A dislocation was formed, but Conley on the Grizzlies side stuck to Budinger, not giving him a route to catch the ball.

At this time, Middleton and Yi Jianlian crossed positions, which created an illusion for the Grizzlies players, because Middleton then ran to the bottom corner of the weak side, while Yi Jianlian was close to Budinger.

For a moment the Grizzlies thought Oden would hand the ball to Middleton next.

Immediately, Conley shouted loudly for his teammates to follow up. When his attention was attracted, Budinger directly used Yi Jianlian's position to throw Conley away.

Then Oden's pass arrives, and Randolph is clearly moving a lot slower.

After Budinger completed the shot, he was in place.

As a result, there were no surprises. Budinger made a three-pointer and the basketball fell into the basket precisely.

101 to 104, with 33 seconds left in the game, the Timberwolves led by three points.

Seeing this goal, Chen Dazhuang also jumped up from his seat with his hands raised in excitement, and then hugged Smith beside him in celebration, while Jogel on the other side shook his head helplessly.

With only three points to go and 33 seconds to go, everything looked like there was still a chance.

But at this moment, Jogel seemed to have a premonition that the game was going to be lost. At this time, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness. His team had already performed extraordinary in this game, but still let the opponent take the lead. .

In addition, he still has not figured out why at this critical moment, the opponent would choose to replace a player like Budinger, and what makes him feel even more incomprehensible is that replacing Budinger will give the team Meritorious service.

Jogel looked at Budinger who was celebrating with his teammates on the field, and Jogel was a little envious for no reason.

Such a big-hearted player likes any head coach.

It's just that what Jogel didn't know was that he shouldn't have such an idea. If Da Zhuang knew what his opponent was thinking at the moment, he might wake up laughing while sleeping.

If this is so bad, it's another big mistake.

Then Jogel on the Grizzlies side also called a timeout.

Only this time after the timeout ended, Conley's three-pointer from the outside was out of the box.

And the rebound was also taken by Oden, with 16 seconds left, Oden quickly handed the ball to Rubio very vigilantly, and the Grizzlies were obviously not ready. After Conley fouled Rubio, Another 4 seconds of time was wasted.

And the most important thing is that Rubio, who stood on the free throw line, withstood the pressure and made two free throws, which also indicates that the Timberwolves have already held the victory in their own hands in this game.

In the end, although the next offensive Grizzlies scored three points.

But still failed to overtake the score.

With the whistle of the referee, the score of the two sides was fixed at 104 to 108. The Timberwolves won the game with a 4-point advantage, and thus took the lead in getting the match point with a big score of 3-0.

All the games in the third round of the first round of the East and West will be over.

In terms of qualifying situations, some gradually become clear, while others are still full of suspense.

The Timberwolves lead the Grizzlies 3-0. With three match points in hand, I believe that entering the second round is already in hand.

In the East, the Heat also led the Bobcats 3-0, and the Wizards also led the Bulls 3-0. This result was unexpected by many people.

Unexpectedly, there is also the game between the Pacers and the Eagles. Now they are back at the home court of the Eagles. In the game that just ended, the Eagles also defeated the Pacers again with 98 to 85, thus leading the Pacers 2 to 1 in the big score. By.

The Nets played 1-1 with the Raptors at home, and they also defeated the Raptors just after returning to their home court, rewriting the big score to 2-1.

The west side is much more chaotic. Except for the Timberwolves, the other three groups are fighting fiercely.

In the game between the Spurs and the Warriors, the two sides also fought 1-1 at the Spurs' home court. Just after returning to the Warriors' home court, the Warriors defeated the Spurs 107-101, thus achieving a 2-1 lead by a big score.

The Thunder also lead the Trail Blazers 2-1, as do the Clippers and Rockets. The Rockets also lead the Clippers 2-1 with the just-concluded third game.

On April 4, at the FedEx Center Arena, the fourth game between the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies went on as scheduled.

It's just that the Timberwolves were not so lucky this time. Even if Da Zhuang had two red buffs in this game, and Oden's performance was still very good, but the Grizzlies who played in the underdog posture can be said to have played well. The most outstanding game in this series with the Timberwolves.

116 to 99, the Grizzlies pulled back a point at home.

3 to 1, with this big score, the Timberwolves will also return to the target center to usher in the fifth game against the Grizzlies.

When the fifth game of the East and West was over, only the Heat continued to defeat the Bobcats and swept them out. The Heat also became the first team to advance in the first round. Their opponent was the victory between the Raptors and the Nets. By.
