Basketball: Beginning with a double-kill high school James

Chapter 186 The Importance of Szczerbiak

On March [-]th, the Blazers ushered in the Jazz at home. The Jazz played back-to-back games. They just lost to the Pacers at home in the last game, so facing the Blazers in the same division, they must win.

Sloan gave the whole team a death order. Unfortunately, except for Kirilenko, it was difficult for other Jazz players to stand up in the game, especially the players at the first position, who were completely overwhelmed by Li Qi. In terms of assists, there is not much difference with Li Qi, but in terms of scoring, Li Qi is really blasted into scum.

After playing the Jazz, the Blazers went back to rest, because there will be a back-to-back against the Clippers in the evening, which is an away game.

In the game against the Clippers, the Trail Blazers encountered backstabs from two veteran players. Ruben Patterson made 12 of 10 in the game and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored the second highest data of 24 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals on the Clippers side. Although Li Qi scored 27 points and 8 assists, they still lost this away game, and their record suddenly became 46-17.

The Clippers' record is 20-41, and they have basically withdrawn from the playoffs. This record is not to mention in the West, even in the East, they have no chance.

Lost to the Clippers, but the Trail Blazers are still No. 19 in the Northwest Division. The Timberwolves have lost [-] games, which is three games away from the Trail Blazers. Moreover, in terms of team style, the Trail Blazers are very restrained. Therefore, if they want to catch up with the Trail Blazers, they must kill the Trail Blazers in direct dialogue.

But the house leak happened to be raining overnight, and the current Timberwolves have suffered from injuries. Wallis Zebiak, the most important rotation, cannot play the rest of the regular season, because the Timberwolves don't want the opponent's injury to worsen and affect their performance in the playoffs.So their starter today is Fred Hoiberg.Alan Houston went to the third position, and the other starters were Cassell, Olavokandi and Garnett.Olavokandi, the No. 98 pick in [-], finally returned from injury, and after his comeback, he also squeezed Elvin Johnson to the bench.

The Timberwolves are very eager for this victory. If they win this game, it will be equivalent to winning two games. On the Blazers side, Madman, Li Qi, Maggette, Randolph and Milicic all appeared on the stage.

Mike Breen and Bill Walton are the commentators of this field, but their views are surprisingly consistent.

"Without Wally's outside strength, Portland can unscrupulously shrink the inside, because Minnesota's only real outside threat is Alan. Although Fred has a certain outside ability, his physical fitness is his biggest weakness."

On the Timberwolves side, Olavokandi bounced the ball to Cassel and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Li Qi was in front of him and ran directly to the three-point line. Cassel had no three-point ability, and the aliens were very aggressive. In this case, he gave the ball to Alan Houston on the right. Dove, he shook Randolph and didn't jump. He just stuck Garnett's path. Among the four forwards, except for Duncan, the other three players all tended to play small forwards.

So as long as they don’t give the opponent a chance to go to the basket, let them shoot from the outside. Garnett shot, the ball missed, the rebound was picked up by Milicic, he passed it to Li Qi, and Li Qi made a long pass to Maggette at the basket.

"Letting Fred play the second position in the starting lineup is a risky move, but for Philip, there is no way around it. Wally's injury has indeed caused him a lot of trouble in the formation."

The opening game was 0:2, and Cassel on the Timberwolves side was still dribbling slowly. He habitually went to the left side, and Li Qi still stood within the left three-point line to give the Timberwolves point guard one step away.Casers still dare not vote. He passed the ball to the hands of Orawakadi, who ran the frontcourt, but the champion almost lost the ball. His hand seemed to be unable to connect the ball. Alan Houston ran from the ban on the area regardless of everything. Olavakadi passed the ball to Alan Houston. The outer rays of the king made a three -point shot. Duang was also the core of the two cores of iron. The Timberwolves did not seem to be in a state tonight.

The rebound was picked up by Maggette, he dribbled forward, and Li Qi came to the frontcourt at the fastest speed. Outside the three-point line on the right, Maggette passed it knowingly, and Fred Hoiberg, the idle No. 0, chose to pounce on Li Qi, preventing the opponent from taking an easy shot. Li Qi changed hands and took a step back at the same time.The goal was scored, 5:[-], this three-pointer was too confident.

Hoiberg's defensive enthusiasm is unquestionable, but this person's physical fitness is average than Nash, so no matter how active he is, it is useless. Unless he is like Bowen and has some dirty defensive skills, otherwise it is simply unrealistic to rely on physical talent and basketball IQ.

Philip Sanders just shook his head on the sidelines. What happened to all the players, no one made a shot.They can't afford to lose this game. If they lose, the difference between them and the Blazers will be even greater.It is almost impossible to chase.

Hoiberg finally got the ball in the next attack. He received a pass from Cassel in the right corner, and he obviously had a chance to shoot a three-pointer, but Olavokandi in front of him actually asked for the ball. Fred Hoiberg was a very selfless player. He passed the ball to the starting center. The ball hits the iron directly.

"Michael played too fast. Although Darko is a first-year player, his potential and level are relatively high among the insiders in the draft in recent years. Michael is really too confident in himself. Apart from being stronger than Darko, other aspects..."
