Chapter 313 Lectra Timberwolves

The ball came up from the basket, stretched and stretched in the air, and after dodging Stoudemire's extended hand to block the shot, Sprewell hooked the ball with his right hand in the air, and the basketball flew towards the basket in a spin, as if it had eyes, wiped With a rebound, he got into the net and scored two points.

8 to 6! !
Sprewell's physical fitness has remained good, and his impact is still full.

The "three-headed monster" of the Timberwolves, relying on their strong individual singles ability, is not afraid to fight against the Suns.

However, the Timberwolves' offense could not continue, especially since the Timberwolves' three-point line was not opened, allowing the Suns to use their powerful mobility to encircle the Timberwolves' inside offense.

As an All-Star pitcher, Wallis Zebiak has no personal offensive ability with the ball. It was obvious in the first quarter of the game. He can only play offense without the ball. He relies too much on his shooting touch and teammates in his offense. The assist ability, however, the Timberwolves did not play well enough for the team.

Their tactics have a taste of copying the Lakers' triangle offense, but they can't play the essence of the Lakers, they just scratch the surface.

With the decline of Sprewell and Cassell's individual heads-up ability, the Timberwolves' offense was not smooth.

Szczerbiak's status is a bit embarrassing. He only ranks No. 4 in offensive possession and has no offensive ability with the ball. Therefore, many shots were taken by his teammates.

Moreover, his hand feeling was not good in the first quarter. In this situation, Szczerbiak struggled a lot.

Another player with three-point shooting range is Sprewell, and his condition is also very bad. At the age of 35, he has a feeling of decline. Without the threat of shooting, Joe Johnson only needs to defend Sprewell's breakthrough , achieved good results.

Sprewell's shooting was also inefficient.

Cassel's mid-range shooting ability is very demonic, but his three-pointers are not stable, and his desire to attack is not strong.

Madsen is just a blue-collar player. Garnett has a large mid-range shot, but he obviously missed the three-pointer.

Without the support of outside ability, the Timberwolves' inside offensive space is greatly limited, and their offensive efficiency drops sharply.

On the other hand, the Suns' offense is in good shape.

Under Nash's go-between, Richardson and Joe Johnson's three-pointers from the outside line were very hot, and they bloomed frequently on the outside. Although the Suns couldn't open the inside line, they still led the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Phoenix Suns led the Minnesota Timberwolves by 31 points with a score of 21 to 10.

In the second quarter, the Timberwolves had a big rotation, replacing Hassell, Olowokandi, and Hudson, while retaining the two internal and external cores of Szczerbiak and Garnett.

The Suns replaced two wing players with Lin Bai and Jacobson.

When the second quarter started, Hudson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and directly used his speed to overpower Nash. His height of 185cm allowed him to have a swift speed.

After attracting Jacobson's pincer attack, Hudson directly scored the ball to the left three-point line. Szczerbiak caught the ball face-up, directly drew the bow and set the arrow, bent his knees and jumped up, and opened his hand for a three-point jumper.

Swish! !

Szczerbiak finally regained his touch and hit a three-pointer accurately.

Next, Szczerbiak succeeded in scoring consecutive points. Whether it was a fixed-point catch and shoot or an air-cut catch and layup, he played well, which made the Suns' defense unbalanced.

Hudson also became convulsed, making unreasonable three-pointers from time to time, which made the Suns' defense very passive.

As the Timberwolves' outside offensive firepower opened up the situation, Garnett's catch jumper and back-up single-handed turnaround jumper came into play, and he scored consecutively.

Lin Bai's attack on the outside was hindered, and Hassel was not a threat on offense, but on the defensive end, he was a desperate Saburo-style character, known as "Mad Dog", and his style of play was very tough.

Jacobson on the left faced Szczerbiak's marking, and he couldn't take it offensively.

Fortunately, the Suns' inside offense is alive and well. Marion's mid-range shots and off-ball cut layups made frequent hits.

The most important thing is that Nash and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll, unstoppable.

Stoudemire's mid-range shots seemed to be on the hook, almost no matter what shots he made, and he hit the basket very resolutely. He made 6 of 6 shots in a single quarter, 3 of 2 free throws, blasted 14 points, and played like a superstar. style.

Nash also showed off his small throws and pull-up jumpers, as well as a three-point shot with a cold arrow. He scored 7 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, controlling the offensive rhythm of the Suns.

After the second quarter, the Timberwolves had a good offense, but they still couldn't match the Suns' offensive firepower. With 24 to 29, the gap was widened by 5 points again.

After the first half, the Timberwolves were 15 points behind the Suns.

45 to 60! !
Back in the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Both sides played with all their main players, trying to decide the outcome of the game in this quarter.

The game started in the third quarter, the two sides stretched out their postures, speeded up and started a confrontation, and the scene was open and closed.

Unexpectedly, the situation on the field changed suddenly.

First of all, Marion started to explode. After adapting to Madsen's defense, he no longer struggled with mid-range shots, but took the initiative to pull to the three-point line and hit three consecutive three-pointers, which caught the Timberwolves by surprise.

Richardson did not let Marion dance alone, and also scored 2 three-pointers from the outside. Nash and Joe Johnson also had wonderful three-pointers.

In the third quarter, the Suns rained three-pointers from outside the three-point line. They made 10 of 8 shots and directly blasted the Timberwolves to the north.

Almost without Stoudemire's efforts, he played a full-scale offensive with all the soldiers and full firepower. The Timberwolves couldn't hold up their heads at all. They had no temper and scored 35 points in a single quarter.

However, the Timberwolves' offensive firepower was misfired, and Szczerbiak's performance was disappointing. He actually made 3 of 0 shots and scored no points.

Sprewell continued to sleepwalk, and his performance was not satisfactory.

Cassell has a lot of experience in playing Nash, but once he is flanked, the Timberwolves' offense cannot be restored, and the offensive efficiency is not high.

Garnett was stuck on the outside and couldn't open the offense inside.

Only relying on the offense of substitute players Hassell and Hudson, the score was not too ugly. In the third quarter, the Timberwolves' offense took a big dive. They made 21 of 7 two-pointers, and their shooting percentage was only 33.4%. How desperate, 6 for 0, only scored 15 points in a single quarter.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves were directly beaten by the Suns, and the Suns opened up by 20 points in the first quarter, and the game went directly to garbage time.

After three quarters, the Suns led by 35 points, the starting five went straight to get off work, and sat on the bench to watch teammates perform
The fourth quarter is like going through a cutscene, and the audience directly walks through 3/1 until the end of the game time.

108 to 79! !
The Phoenix Suns beat the Minnesota Timberwolves by 29 points.
