Chapter 228

With an additional penalty, the Blazers extended their lead to 5 points, 9:4.

On the Timberwolves side, they still mainly play the inside line. Cassel faced Li Qi in the near bottom corner on the right and chose to shoot behind his back, and the ball hit the iron.The rebound was protected by Milicic.Li Qi ran to the basket, the Timberwolves retreated quickly, so Li Qi stopped outside the three-point line, and Trendon Hassell posted it desperately. He would not let Li Qi easily take a three-pointer.

Li Qi changed hands, pulled the ball to one side, turned around and passed Trendon Hassell and ran to the basket in three steps. Garnett came to cover the defense.

At 11:4, the Blazers' offense tonight was much better than ever. It was the best start since the Timberwolves series. Not only did Li Qi feel hot, but everyone else's also felt amazing.

"The Timberwolves have to call a timeout. Philip has to make adjustments. Trenton's role on the court has not been reflected at all. If this is the case, why not let Fred come up, at least the opponent is a threat on the outside."

Bill Wharton gave advice to the Timberwolves in the commentary booth, making Mike Breen next to him think that the opponent had become a fan of the Timberwolves.

Cassel still dribbled the ball with his back to the left. This time, Li Qi suddenly made a counterattack from behind, almost stealing the ball. Li Qi touched the ball out of the sideline, and the Timberwolves still held the ball. Sanders on the sidelines dared not take a breath.

After Cassell received the ball, he went to the basket alone and chose to make a layup. The ball missed but caused a foul by Randolph. Li Qi was a little careless just now. Instead of following Cassell, he followed Alan Houston. As a result, the Timberwolves found a chance.

Cassel made two free throws, 11:6, the Timberwolves recovered two points, and Philip Sanders still held the timeout very tightly.

Li Qi was still defended by Trendon Hassell. After fighting against the opponent so many times, Li Qi also knew the opponent's shortcomings, so the Blazers didn't have the opportunity to stick close to the opponent. He changed his body and took three steps towards the restricted area.

Timberwolves' core supplementary defense happened to restrain Li Qi, but Li Qi made another outward pass. This time he was looking for Milicic who was near the free throw line. Blazers No. 31 took the ball and scored. 13:6, the Serbian also scored 5 points tonight.

Sanders called on the players to pay attention to the defense. The mentality of the Timberwolves on the field was not as good as the last game. Case threw the ball to Garnett on the left. Garnett did not move Millycic this time. He could only score the ball again. Li Qi saw the Timberwolves 19 to get the goal and actually retreated to the opponent. The three -pointer rate of the playoffs is 40.00%, but it is actually the kind of large empty level.He really didn't dare to vote for someone who was let go like this.

So the opponent hesitated for a while and then passed the ball to Garnett. Garnett had no choice but to bite the bullet and hit the ball in, which caused a foul on the Blazers side, but it was not a shooting foul, but a common foul. Fortunately, it wasn't Randolph's. If it was Randolph's, he would have committed two fouls.

The Timberwolves continued to serve, and after passing the ball several times, it still reached Garnett under the basket. He chose to lay up, but Milicic begged for mercy. The ball was missed and the rebound was also grabbed by the Serbian.

The Blazers made a fast break, and the madman dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Milicic and Maggette both ran fast, but Li Qi and Randolph were not very fast this time.

Seeing the Serbian coming, the madman took the initiative to hand the ball to Trail Blazers No. 31. After the opponent got the ball, Maggette went to the basket. Milicic passed the ball. Maggette wanted to make a layup, but the ball missed, but it caused a foul by Trendon Hassell. After more than 8 minutes of playing, the smell of gunpowder between the two sides came up, and all kinds of fouls began to call.

Philip Sanders couldn't bear it and chose to call a timeout. The Timberwolves played really badly during this time.Especially the defensive end was completely overwhelmed by the Blazers. He couldn't imagine what the result would be like if he lost this game.One to three and one to two are not the same concept.

"Philip is still a little late to adjust. It is a good thing for him to let the players adjust themselves on the court, but it is better to call a timeout at certain moments. Timberwolves players can play a reversal in the last game. It does not mean that they can play that kind of game in every game. The shortcomings of this team are obvious."

Bill Wharton was still singing the double reed alone, and Mike Breen couldn't get in his mouth at all.Li Qi took the Gatorade that Dior handed over and poured tons and tons of Gatorade into his mouth. Although Minnesota is not Phoenix, the outdated facilities of the garbage arena in the Target Center make the temperature inside the whole place very high.

The timeout ended quickly, and Maggette made two free throws, 15:6. After a few minutes, the Timberwolves only scored 2 points. They seemed to have returned to the rhythm of the second game.

Cassell stopped attacking with the ball. He handed it to Alan Houston. Alan Houston took the ball and turned around to the basket. As a result, he was stuck firmly by the madman, and there was no room for shooting.Cassel chose to shoot this time, and the ball spun out of the basket.The audience at the scene sighed. If Cassel didn't score a three-pointer, Li Qi could keep playing like this. This was also a huge psychological pressure for him personally.

The Trail Blazers grabbed the rebound, Li Qi moved forward with the ball, Cassel was parallel to him, Trendon Hassell was ineffective at all during the fast break, Li Qi took the ball to the right, and then came to the penalty area. Garnett defended again, and Li Qi calmly divided the ball to the left.
