Chapter 260
With only one Harden Rocket, it is obvious that there is no way to stop the bite of the Timberwolves on the court.

As the game time progresses.

Gradually, the difference is also gradually widening.

Whether it's Carlisle on the sidelines or Harden on the court, they are very anxious, but they can't solve any solutions. When Howard is there, you will find that he drags down the Rockets' offensive speed, but when he is not on the court. You will find that the Rockets without a strong center can be said to be defeated by the Timberwolves from the inside out, and there is a tendency to be defeated.

And even Harden has been trying to save the Rockets with scoring.

But although Middleton can't prevent Harden's offense, Harden can't limit Middleton's scoring either.

In this way, Harden, who has no support, is tantamount to facing the Timberwolves' pack of wolves alone.

Naturally, the game fell into a disadvantage.

Carlisle on the sidelines is also aware of this matter, but there is no good way to do it. This is why although he supports the team to build a team with Harden as the core, he also insists on keeping Howard.

Single-core leadership will be easily targeted by opponents, and teamwork is king.

If Da Zhuang knew what Carlisle was thinking, he would probably be shocked, because Nima's next alliance is a group alliance.

The turning point of the next game was in the third quarter. Harden, who was single-handedly, finally had a drop in his shooting rate due to the huge consumption. You must know that in order to better consume Harden, Da Zhuang not only arranged for Middleton to defend the opponent, He even made frequent substitutions, using LaVine's breakthrough to check and balance the consumption of Harden.

In this way, it is already very good to be able to persist until the third quarter.

Seeing such a situation, Da Zhuang and others also knew that it was time for the team to reap the victory of the game.

Immediately, a timeout was called, and tactics began to be arranged.

After the timeout ended, the two sides returned to the court.

The game also officially entered the Timberwolves mode. By the end of the third quarter, the point difference between the two sides had been completely widened. The 87-71, 16-point difference had basically allowed the Timberwolves to hold the victory.

During the intermission, the atmosphere on the benches of both sides is enough to explain the current situation of the game.

The Rockets, Carlisle has been trying to improve the morale of the team, but no matter how anxious he is, there is no expression on the players' faces. Carlisle is indeed anxious. He is not only anxious about this game. He knows that if he cannot adjust as soon as possible The state and morale of the players will not only affect this game, but may even affect all subsequent series.

The Timberwolves are much more relaxed. Everyone has relaxed expressions on their faces. Oden even joked with his teammates.

Soon the intermission will end, and players from both sides will return to the court.

"Guys, it's the last quarter. Give me all your strength to hold the other party down. I want you to get out of the psychological shadow of the other party, because they will be afraid when they see us. Come on, kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The roar of all the players made the cheers in the stands louder, and everyone could see the killing intent in the eyes of all Timberwolves.

Soon the fourth quarter began with the referee's whistle.

Timberwolves' offensive possession.

After Oden received the ball inside and attracted the Rockets' double-team, he threw the ball directly behind him without looking at anyone. By the time the double-teamed Jones turned around, Sims was already hanging on the basket superior.

A powerful one-handed dunk kicked off the Timberwolves' offensive wave in the fourth quarter.

The Rockets only persisted for a little more than 6 minutes. Carlisle saw that the situation could not be reversed, so he quickly replaced all the main players. Da Zhuang on the other side smiled after seeing the Rockets' actions.

Then all the main players were replaced.

It is worth mentioning that Yi Jianlian was also replaced in the fourth position.

Seeing Yi Jianlian's appearance, even though it was just garbage time, the Chinese fans at the scene and the Huaguo fans who watched the live broadcast cheered for him. Even Yang Yi and Zhang Lili in the live broadcast room were a lot more excited.

In fact, there was no plan to arrange for Yi Jianlian to play in the game itself, but after seeing the early surrender of the Rockets, Da Zhuang also temporarily changed the plan.

Use the garbage time to help Allen find his status. After all, it has been a long time since there was a game, and it is still a high-intensity game like the playoffs.

"Alian was still sent to play. I'm afraid many of our fans have been waiting for a long time."

"Yes, everyone should have waited for a long time. This is also due to the Timberwolves' early determination of the advantage, which turned the last few minutes into garbage time. In fact, this is normal. After all, it is such an important game. It’s been a long time since I played a game, and the time now is actually the most suitable for him, and it’s not suitable for him to start high-intensity confrontation as soon as he comes up, there is a gradual process.”

When the two were chatting, Yi Jianlian on the court also received a pass from Dinwiddie after helping Dinwiddie with a pick-and-roll, and then hit a three-pointer from the outside.

"Good shot. Judging from the shooting and tactical execution, Allen's recovery is very good. This is also very good news for the Timberwolves. After all, from the perspective of the fourth position, although Sims' defense is better, but Allian's advantage lies in the average, especially in the past few years of training in the Timberwolves, the physical contact ability in the interior is much stronger than before."

"Sims doesn't have a basket. This is also the most troublesome thing for Chen Dazhuang. The scoring point of Sims is to cooperate with Oden in the interior, and then score in the three-second zone under the basket. Once out of the three-second zone, Sims It’s hard to say how good Score is, but Alian is different, it can be said that Alian has the ability to score from the three-second zone to beyond the three-point line, which is what Chen Dazhuang wants to see most.”

Chen Dazhuang on the sidelines also looked very happy after seeing Yi Jianlian's shot, and stood up and applauded deliberately.

Indeed, as analyzed by Zhang Lili and Yang Yi, in terms of the selection of the fourth position, judging from the current lineup of the Timberwolves, he is still inclined to Yi Jianlian. The very important point is balance.

"It seems that he is recovering well. Do you want to give him more time for the next game?" Smith asked in a low voice while sitting next to Da Zhuang.

"Go back and consult the team doctor again. I'm not worried about other things, I'm just worried about whether it will affect my mind."

"Are you worried that he is afraid of confrontation because of his injury?"

"Well, so I asked Milt to look for it recently to see if there is any psychological counselor. The original one of the team can't do it. It's best to find a professional."
