Basketball: Beginning with a double-kill high school James

Chapter 238 The Hoiberg Who Stands Up

Garnett couldn't really roar anymore. Darryl Martin's foul was unnecessary, but he couldn't say anything to the opponent. After all, a point guard of Li Qi's size can shoot three-pointers, which is very rare in the entire NBA history.

After Li Qi made a free throw, the Timberwolves called a timeout. D'Antoni was very satisfied with his beloved disciple. The audience was also very high-pitched. The Blazers really haven't made it to the Western Conference Finals for a long time. If they make it to the Western Conference Finals, they will have a chance to touch the floor of the Finals.

The Trail Blazers chose to make substitutions because they were leading too much. The substitutes were all on the court, and the starters took a rest. On the Timberwolves side, almost all the starters were on the court.

Darryl Martin faced Blake with his back on the right side, and he couldn't stand the Blazers' backup point guard. This made Blake very happy. He finally had a bullying point guard in the league, but Darryl Martin didn't continue to hold the ball. Instead, he passed the ball to Garnett who ran from the inside to outside the three-point line.Garnett saw Alan Houston also running out of the inside and passed the ball to Josh Howard, who was facing Alan Houston. This guy rarely appeared in the playoffs, so he was a little excited.

Alan Houston made a fake shot and made a real sudden move. He passed him at once and killed him from the middle to the basket, but when he wanted to lift the ball up strong, Dior cut the ball away instantly. After the Frenchman cut off the ball, he ran forward. Josh Howard ran faster than anyone else.

Josh Howard made two free throws, and the difference between the two sides continued to widen at 52:75.The Timberwolves attacked in the frontcourt. Garnett and Mark Anderson crazily grabbed several offensive rebounds, but they just didn't put the ball in the basket. The time entered two and a half minutes into the third quarter.

The Blazers' shooting percentage also dropped. Diaw passed to Josh Howard who was near the bottom corner on the right. The opponent chose a backhand layup, but the ball was interfered by Garnett and missed.

Alan Houston shot a cold arrow from outside the left three-point line. The ball missed, but the rebound was controlled by the Timberwolves again. He passed the ball to Garnett who was under the basket.The rebound was taken by the Blazers, and the two sides started a new round of offense.

In the last few minutes of the third quarter, the shooting percentage of both sides was not high. After three quarters, the Timberwolves were 64; 80 behind by 16 points and entered the final quarter.

Alan Houston turned into a rain man off the court at this time and was really sweating. He played so hard. Why did he lag so much in the third quarter? Yes, in a high-intensity game like the playoffs, it is not so difficult to play floating outside and want to win.

In the fourth quarter, Li Qi still didn't choose to play. After all, it would take a while to rest. He is really not ordinary tired.And the other starters of the Blazers didn't play either.

In the fourth quarter of the Timberwolves, two white men, Hoiberg and Mark Anderson, picked and rolled near the free throw line. Mark Anderson received a pass under the basket, which caused a foul by the Trail Blazers. He got a free throw opportunity.

Mark Anderson's free throw percentage in the interior can only be considered average. The first free throw was missed and the second free throw was made. The Timberwolves narrowed the score to 65:80.
The Blazers played relatively simple. Blake passed the ball to Josh Howard on the right side. Josh Howard quickly passed the ball to him at the top of the arc, but Diaw under the basket ran to the right corner. Blake passed the ball. Diaw caught the ball and shot it.
The Timberwolves played another wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt. Cassel passed the ball from the outside to Timberwolves No. 21. Garnett shook the frame and Dale Davis missed the shot and passed the ball back to Cassel. At this time, Cassel saw Hoiberg running out of position in the left corner and passed the ball without hesitation. Timberwolves No. 32 scored a three-pointer, 68:82.
The two sides were in a stalemate, 6 minutes into the fourth quarter, the score was 73:88, the Timberwolves were still 15 points behind, but neither side's shooting percentage was very high.

Garnett played back to Dale Davis. After turning around, he missed a shot and gave it to Kassel on the outside. Kassel made another pass to the left corner. Hoiberg made another shot. At 71:82, D'Antoni on the sidelines chose to call a timeout.

Hoiberg scored two three-pointers in the fourth quarter. These two three-pointers were related to Josh Howard. He was still too young to face the erratic position of No. 32 of the Timberwolves. There was no way at all.And Josh Howard, except for the two points at the beginning, was either a hit or a mistake. Fortunately, the other players of the Blazers played well, otherwise the Timberwolves had really turned the score over.

But this is not to say that the Timberwolves performed poorly, but that the Trail Blazers have a deeper lineup than them, and with the fact that Wallis Zebiak has not fully recovered, this comeback is simply a very strong comeback.

Li Qi returned to the court with five starts, and the game officially entered the final stage. Garnett became very serious at this time, and he was not in the mood to roar and beat his chest anymore.

Li Qi dribbled the ball and drove Alan Houston to the basket. Garnett was attracted. Li Qi decisively distributed the ball to Randolph. 71:84, Li Qi got another assist.

Sanders is still very courageous at this moment. He replaced Trenden Hassell, who is stronger in defense and average in offense, and replaced by Hoiberg, who is stronger in offense and average in defense.
