Chapter 172 The Rise of Livingston

The fans in Charlotte are cheering wildly, and McGee has the ability to get enough cheers in the away game, which is almost the entry card for the league's top stars.

Further up, it is a superstar!

The Timberwolves' defense was a bit chaotic, but as long as McGee was there, their defensive pressure was not bad, and no one dared to ignore McGee's defensive role.

Larry Brown has a serious face. McGee is a young man who is far better than he imagined. Maybe he really has the qualifications to wrestle with top stars, but!Larry Brown's concept has always been that defense can win victory. Basketball does not serve only one person. McGee may be strong, but his shortcomings will not be covered up because of his strength.

Such as the chaos of the Timberwolves defense, such as McGee's right hand with an arm guard!
The game has just begun.

Bobcats offense.

At this time, the Bobcats' offensive rhythm is very low. Even Okafor, who is not good at speed, can easily keep up, and even run at the forefront of the team. Can't wait for ten seconds.

This style seriously provokes the nerves of the defensive team and the audience.

Lagabel stopped the ball on the three-point line. At this time, there were less than ten seconds left in the attack time. Gerald Wallace had already thrown off Kevin Ollie and killed to the right of the three-second zone.

The slow pace is definitely a disadvantage, but it also needs to distinguish the opponent. The individual strength of the Timberwolves players on the field is relatively weak. At this time, the pressure is on the ground and all players are pulled apart to reduce McGee's defensive effect. Strengthening singles while reducing turnovers is actually a Very useful tactic, but the game will look very ugly.

Gerrard was very fast, received a pass from Lagabel in the air and pressed it into the basket, completing a wave of offense.

Driven by Larry Brown, the current Bobcats are like a cold machine. There is no provocation or emotion. They just move according to the tactics marked, and then disassemble and complete their respective tasks. It looks very weird, like basketball. Sports still need some blood, passion and even emotion. If you don't invest in these, what is the difference from watching 10 NPCs running on the field?
However, Mr. Larry Brown can say that it doesn't matter if there is no resonance or enthusiasm, as long as you can win.

After the first quarter, the Timberwolves were 26 to 21 on the field, and the Timberwolves trailed by a full five points. Although McGee threw 5 of 3 three-pointers, he scored 11 points in the first quarter alone, but it was useless.

Larry Brown's positional warfare tortured the Timberwolves' hand feeling very much. The teammates collectively worked part-time in the blacksmith room, and McGee was completely helpless.

Back on the bench, the Timberwolves were in a poor state of mind, mainly due to shame, because they found that they were really lagging behind. Even if they tried their best, there was still a gap between them and the Bobcats who were at the bottom this year.

On the whole, McGee is relatively peaceful, mainly because he didn't catch any chance to pretend to be 13. Besides, the Timberwolves are not what they are today. They have always been rotten and stable. Bombing is pretty good.

Holding a tactical board, Whitman is emphasizing strengthening defense. Mr. Whitman now believes that force is mutual. As long as the opponent's scoring efficiency is also pulled down, no one can make shots. Then they have McGee to do it. Pitchers are not necessarily hopeless.

Besides, even if you still can't beat it, it wouldn't be a bad idea to dispel the unrealistic idea of ​​McGee continuing to play.

McGee was speechless after hearing Whitman's tactics.

Huh, defense?
Whitman compares defense with Larry Brown, isn't that the same as delivering food?

What's the difference between that and letting O'Neal and Curryby make free throws.

The short intermission ended, and Larry Brown sat on the sidelines with his hands in his hands to encourage the young Bobcat players. He is going to teach the Timberwolves a lesson today and let them know that it is not enough for the team to have a rookie with a little bit of talent. Do whatever you want.

On the other side, McGee took advantage of Whitman Fan Er and pulled Livingston, Kevin Ollie and others: "Forget about Coach Whitman's arrangement."

???

"Defense is not our style, and my arm can't bear the long-term defensive pressure. I'll explain to Mr. Whitman later. Now, let's run and attack with all members, especially you Livingston. If you have a chance, just throw it, and it doesn't matter if you miss it, because when necessary, I will tear off the armguard that is in the way, and go all out to lead you to win! All the balls you miss will be on my head!"

Damn it, tear it up?
After the last game, McGee was talked about by Whitman for a long time. Before today's game, Whitman also warned McGee not to mess around.

But what, the Timberwolves are really not good at defense, so compared to Whitman, they once again stood on McGee's side.

The encouragement session between the two sides ended. Players from both sides stepped onto the field. The Bobcats and Timberwolves lineup did not change, because the Timberwolves were not strong enough, and the Bobcats were not strong enough. Everyone was half-baked, and maybe six or seven people rotated back and forth. Wherever it is.

This year's Bobcats actually don't have any burden of winning. The conversation between Jordan and Larry Brown before the game didn't mean that they had to win the Timberwolves. , and very simple, not for any purpose is simply to add to the block.

The two sides returned to the court, the Timberwolves trailed by 5 points, and the Timberwolves had the ball.

Livingston brought the ball to the frontcourt, Lagabel stepped forward to defend, McGee was still swimming outside the three-point line, supporting Livingston, but Gerrard's defense against him was almost like a sticker, and he couldn't tear it off Can't tear it off.

Recalling McGee's words during the fierce offense and defense, Livingston suddenly found himself with some courage and dribbled the ball quickly. Lagabel thought he was going to pass to the basket and subconsciously took a step back to double-team.

Larry Brown silently gave a bad review. Who made you lose your position? Doesn't he pass the ball inside?

Mud can't support the wall!

Lagabel retreated, and Livingston gained room to shoot. This was a long-lost shot. Livingston did not play steadily as Coach Whitman said. Instead, he made an over-the-range three-pointer at the beginning!
McGee's eyes lit up and he rushed to the basket!
Although it is now known that McGee is injured, Gerald's defense is still tight and aggressive. McGee ran inside, Gerald Wallace stepped on his feet and ran with McGee, and gave McGee two shoulders along the way. Down, the strength is not light, and the strength is not small!
However, McGee stopped running because Livingston's shot went hollow.

Mackie cheers Livingston out loud!
Gerrard glared at McGee, and the game continued. The point guard is not only the initiator of the offense, but also the specific executor of the tactics. When Livingston cooperated with McGee to pull up the rhythm, the Timberwolves as a whole seemed to be injected with This kind of vitality is very subtle, but everyone seems to feel that their bodies have become more relaxed.

As a super rookie whose talent resounded throughout the NBA, Livingston suffered from injuries and psychological factors, but he has been in the NBA for so many years, and his strength can be seen in general.

When the Timberwolves had a second wave shooter, they hit each other, and the score was tied!
