Chapter 488
Shandon Anderson failed to stop Bai Jidong's attack. Riley used all the small forwards in the formation and found that none of them could guard Bai Jidong.

In the end, he could only send James Posey back on the field.

Although Posey's restrictions on Bai Jidong are very limited, his defense can still improve the overall hardness of the team.

In this way, at the end of the first quarter, the Heat got off to a good start by the Timberwolves because of a pre-game layout error.

If Riley wanted to chase points in the second quarter, he had to continue using O'Neal and Wade.

Fortunately, Wade said that there is no problem in the prime of life, but O'Neal's physical fitness is worrying.

His current size puts a huge burden on his body, how long can he last?

Riley asked O'Neill if he needed a break, and O'Neill answered him by borrowing Barkley's famous quote: "When I die, there will be plenty of time to rest!"

The Timberwolves put on another lineup, keeping Bai Weidong, letting Garnett rest, and replacing Himien.

Because Olowokandi's foul control is good, Sanders also kept him.

On the guard side, he replaced Ukic, who played the first quarter, with Hardaway, and Ukic ended the game with 10 points and 2 assists.

"The young people nowadays are really better than each other." Hardaway felt the pressure.

Bai Jidong smiled and said, "Do you feel that your position as the main force is lost?"

"Yeah, I really have to lose weight, otherwise I can't keep up with the young people today." Hardaway finally realized how much weight hurt him.

Bai Jidong doesn't know how painful this is, but as long as Hardaway recognizes the problem, it will be a good thing.

Hardaway led the ball to the frontcourt, Bai Jidong blocked Posey in the low post, wanted to get the ball, and was about to attack, Wade slammed close and double-teamed him.

Bai Jidong had no choice but to pass the ball to Hardaway.

Although Hardaway had a chance to make a move, he did not rush to make a move, but patiently waited for the opportunity.

He saw Battier cut inside, his hands were extremely fast, and he followed Battier's pace to hit the ground and pass the ball.

Battier was about to take advantage of the situation for a layup, but was interfered by O'Neal.

The huge body blocked Battier's route like a tank. Battier couldn't find a comfortable release point, so he threw the ball with difficulty and hit the iron.

Haslem gets the rebound and passes to Williams.

Williams drove straight in, trying to make a counterattack while the Timberwolves did not retreat in time.

Hardaway reacted quickly and fouled Payton before they could fight back. "Damn it!" Williams raged.

Hardaway took his hand away: "Oh, I'm sorry, I ruined your good deed!"

"Penny, you're done," Williams said. "I'm going to make your death ugly."

"Whatever you want, I'm not good-looking anyway." Hadaway looked like he was letting you slaughter him.

Subsequently, the Timberwolves once again offered a pack of wolves to defend.

Wade thought he could break through at will without Garnett, but he was wrong.

O'Neal provided him with high-quality screens, but also brought him heavy double-teams.

Wade hit the bottom line and was in a dead corner.

Fortunately, Wade reacted quickly enough to pass the ball before making a mistake.

Posey took the ball, and Bai Weidong was right in front of him.

Posey can only pass again, to the white chocolate at the top of the arc.White Chocolate saw that there was no time, and gave Wade a through ball again.

Wade didn't have enough time to make moves, and after shaking his shoulders, he turned over and made a jumper, but missed.

O'Neill took off the board strongly.

Simien posted it immediately, trying to stand up to O'Neill.This is a common problem among young people, who think they can do everything well as long as they work hard.

In this matter, Simien obviously exerted too much force. His defense was caught by the referee and fouled by a pusher.

Simien looked innocent, but did not appeal to the referee.

Himien has already seen the fate of asking the referee to argue, and he doesn't want to be expelled like Garnett.

Even a superstar like Garnett was expelled as soon as he said he would be expelled. I dare not think about replacing him.

Simeon shook his head resentfully, dispelled these irrelevant thoughts, and focused all his attention on the game.

The Heat throw the ball in bounds, Wade takes the ball, puts Posey on a pick-and-roll, and then a sudden breakout occurs.

"DW, you really chose the wrong partner." Bai Jidong covered him.

Wade has no way out and passes back to Posey.

Hardaway's defense slowed down a step, and Posey took the ball and made a three-pointer.

Hada's prestige went: "Damn, this ball is here!"

The reason why Penny said this is because the arc of the ball is very straight, and it is a goal that will be scored at first glance.

Sure enough, the ball went through the basket and went into the basket with a crisp ear.

Hardaway cursed: "Son of a son of a bitch!"

"Your defense really impresses me. I didn't expect you to degenerate like this. It's really disappointing. I even bought your jersey." Posey said disgustedly.

"I don't want you to say that." Hardaway solemnly refuted Posey's words, "Sooner or later, you will grow old like me."

"If I was as useless as you, I would choose to retire. I can't bear to be like this." Posey said.

These words gave Penny a knowing blow, and he was hit hard.

Bai Jidong came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't think too much, you know your role, you are still an excellent player."

"Really?" Hardaway asked.

"Without a doubt." Bai Jidong said.

The Timberwolves speeded up their offensive tempo. Hardaway first wanted a pick-and-roll breakthrough, but it was unsuccessful.

Immediately, Bai Jidong passed through the crowd, got rid of Posey's defense, ran to the free throw line to catch the ball and made a shot.

This kind of scoring is easier than attacking with the ball. Bai Jidong has the ability to do so, but he is still young and doesn't want to change his style of play prematurely.

"Yes, the offense of both teams is playing well. Now it depends on which side misfires first. Now is the time when the offense is the most intense. If it misfires, the game will directly set the tone." Breen said, "Now Minnesota leads 9 I'm looking forward to Miami's next offense."

"Judging from the offense just now, this is the Miami Heat that Pat Riley wants to see. I hope they will continue to maintain, even if they are 1 to 3 behind, they can't give up!" Brown said.

Haslem threw the ball out, Williams grabbed it with one hand, and made a street ball move at half-time, leaving the fans screaming.

Penny stared at him, wondering what the guy's gourd was in.

As the representative of gorgeous, elegant and smart, white chocolate represents another style.

There is no other player as bold as White Chocolate. He dares to make any action that comes to his mind, regardless of whether the ball will be missed or whether his teammates will catch it.

In terms of personal achievements, ten white chocolates are no more than a penny, but when it comes to influence, white chocolates will definitely leave a heavy mark in the history of the NBA.

White Chocolate came off the right dribble, and Penny watched him nervously.

I saw White Chocolate using his left hand to change direction with one hand, and took a step forward with his right foot.As soon as Penny's defense retreated, White Chocolate immediately pulled up a three-pointer.

So resolute and resolute, Penny rushed forward reflexively, destroying the white chocolate cylinder, and the whistle sounded, even if he didn't make it, it would be a three-point foul.

Penny regretted it, because his foul didn't affect White Chocolate's shot in the slightest.

This is a foul after the shot, so unworthy!
The white chocolate landed steadily, looked at the ball, and hollowed it into the basket.

His performance made the audience excited. Hardaway put his hands on his hips, shook his head and sighed. He is really old. Whether it is physical fitness, defensive judgment or instant reaction, it is much lower than his peak.

Sanders called a timeout before White Chocolate made the free throw.

His timeout is mainly to set up the next defense: "Doug, you replace Penny."

"Doug, that kid, runs fast, and his offense is more casual, you have to pay more attention." Hardaway shared his experience with Christie.

Christie nodded. He has played against white chocolate and knows his style.

As a veteran, Christie played very little time in the finals, because his state was worse than Hardaway.

Originally, Sanders' plan was to have a strong veteran (Hardaway), a young rookie (Ukic), and a veteran who could still fight (Christy).

After entering the playoffs, it was discovered that Hardaway's current speed could not keep up with the young people, so he could only put Ukic in the starting lineup.

Being young has its advantages and disadvantages.Ukic's physical strength, speed, enthusiasm, and fighting spirit are all fine. His problem lies in defense and shooting.Especially shooting, unstable shooting makes it easy for him to be missed.

How Ukic's career will develop in the future depends on whether he can adapt to the NBA three-point line.

However, Sanders was not in a hurry. He replaced Bai Jidong with Victor Kasippa, and then replaced Olowokandi with Garnett.

This is a regular rotation, Bai Jidong has nothing to say, takes the towel and sits down.

His performance has been impressive enough, and there is not much rest time left for him, and he will have to play in a few minutes.

"Let's go up there and kick their asses!" Garnett said cheerfully, tossing the towel away.

Garnett is so excited, Sanders is also happy to see its development, "KG, don't screw it up."

Hearing Sanders' advice, Garnett laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I can definitely blow up the idiot who is facing me!"

"Confidence is a good thing, but you can't underestimate your opponent." Sanders repeatedly urged.

Back from a timeout, White Chocolate executes a free throw.His touch didn't disappear because of the timeout, and he made a shot immediately after adjusting, making a steady free throw, and the Heat chased to 5 points.

"Look, Minnesota has replaced "Scalpel" Christie. It seems that they are also trying a different lineup. This is the finals!" Breen said.

Christie is known as the nickname of the scalpel, which is due to his precise passing like a scalpel.

As soon as the offense started, Garnett set him a pick-and-roll. Then, Christie calmly broke the double-team and passed the ball to Garnett.

Garnett played big and small against Wade, leaned away, walked into the basket and made a layup.

PS: Today I will finish writing the finals in one go, let me see that you are a ticket! ! !
