Chapter 100 Victory over the Philadelphia 76ers

1 Twenty-six chapters beat the Philadelphia 76ers

That night, the Philadelphia 76ers challenged the Philadelphia [-]ers at the Target Center at Minnesota's home court. The Timberwolves' offensive firepower declined in this game, perhaps because of the impact of the last game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The state is not very good, and he did not enter a good state at the beginning of the game, and failed to make many open shots.

On the other hand, for the Philadelphia 76ers, Iguodala, the young leader of Philadelphia, has a good touch. In the first quarter, he made 4 of 3 shots, went to the basket several times and dunked successfully. The state is extremely strong.

仅仅第一节比赛时间，伊戈达拉就砍下了11分3助攻的表现，率领费城76人以24比19的比分优势领先。

In this game tonight, the Timberwolves are playing at home, and the entire Target Center is full of fans. More than 2 fans cheered in unison for the young men of the Timberwolves. The momentum is amazing.

After experiencing several consecutive away games, the young players of the Timberwolves struggled to win a wave of consecutive victories. When they returned to this home court, they received the most sincere and warm cheers from the Timberwolves fans, just like welcoming the triumphant return of heroes.

The outcome of this game is related to the ranking of the Timberwolves, which has attracted widespread attention from Minnesota fans.

Recently, after experiencing a wave of losing streaks, this young team has finally found its own rhythm and started sprinting hard, trying to re-enter the playoffs. Now the Timberwolves are ranked ninth in the West. The Oklahoma City Thunder, which is eighth in the West, still have two victories. As long as the Timberwolves win this home game tonight, the Timberwolves are very likely to regain the playoff status in the next strong dialogue with the Thunder. Seats, leading the team back to the top eight in the Western Conference.

Li Shihao understands that tonight's game will test the Timberwolves' outside offensive ability. As long as the Timberwolves' outside line cannot be restrained by the Philadelphia 76ers tonight, then the victory must belong to Minnesota!
After the Philadelphia 76ers left Iverson, they have been lacking top stars who can stand alone.

In the post-Iverson era, the 76ers have been unable to break through the first round of the playoffs for many years. They have only entered the Eastern Conference playoffs a few times in the past nine years, but they can only lose in the tragic playoffs. At this time, the Philadelphia management Only then did I remember what it was like when Iverson was there.

It's a pity that the water is hard to recover. After the trade of Iverson happened, the son of Philadelphia may have to wait for the old man to retire if he wants to return to this historical city.

The Philadelphia management is unwilling to admit defeat. They hand over the team's offense and defense to Andre Iguodala. Iguodala's outstanding physical fitness is the reason they are optimistic. Iguodala is like a trumpet LeBron James, the Philadelphia 76ers believe that Iguodala will grow up and lead the Philadelphia 76 to rise again.

It's a pity that things in the world are not as good as people want. This season's Philadelphia 76ers obviously have no further hope, and even the playoffs are a bit slim.

But tonight, Iguodala, a swingman with amazing physical fitness and top defensive ability, will definitely be the most difficult point to overcome tonight.

The Timberwolves do not have a good scorer on the perimeter. Brewer's offensive ability is not strong. His task on the court is more to establish an perimeter defense, limit the opponent's perimeter offense, and establish the Timberwolves' outermost defensive gate. As far as offense is concerned, Brewer does not have a good offensive method, his shooting ability is not good, and he is more likely to use the opportunity of fast counterattack to dunk and score.

Ryan Gomez, who serves as a shooting guard in the backcourt, is more likely to use open shots to create some advantages for the team. The young Gomez is limited by factors such as ball skills and physical talent, and his offense is not strong. , In the league, he can only be ranked in the middle and bottom. Neither he nor Brewer can provide effective help for Li Shihao in tonight's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Li Shihao can only rely on himself in the attack!
To be honest, after a season of experience, Li Shihao also found that the outside firepower of the Timberwolves is too thin. The Timberwolves do not have any outstanding young players as reserves on the back line, but the Timberwolves are crowded inside. Kevin Love, Mark The three young and talented insiders Gasol and Milicic are gathered together in the Timberwolves lineup. To be honest, it is difficult to effectively allocate playing time.

In tonight's game, whether he can break through Andre Iguodala's defense and provide the Timberwolves with a strong firepower output from the outside will become one of the important reasons for whether he can win tonight.

Andre Iguodala is the head star of the Philadelphia 76ers after Iverson. Iguodala is now the league's top swingman. Although his offensive ability is not outstanding, you cannot deny his strength. Almighty, he can do too many things for the team.

Iguodala's defense is very active and can defend three positions on the outside. Now Brewer in the Timberwolves team is advancing in the direction of Iguodala's template.

Today's Iguodala is much better than Brewer in terms of offensive awareness and defensive ability. Li Shihao even thought, if the team trades Brewer, can they exchange for a swingman like Iguodala, the ball The team's lineup has been further sublimated.

If this guessed transaction comes true, then the Timberwolves with Andre Iguodala will become more comprehensive. Godala not only has excellent passing awareness, but also has better defensive ability than Brewer. If Brewer is traded, Iguodala will be one of the most suitable players for the Timberwolves.

However, now, all this is just fantasy. Now Iguodala is the top star of the 76ers. Unless the Philadelphia management is determined to overthrow and rebuild, then Iguodala will not be easily put on the trading shelf.

Tonight, Li Shihao's attack from the outside was more decisive, and he increased his jump shots. He controlled the rhythm of tonight's game very well.

The difference between Li Shihao and most defenders in the league is that he can not only play offense with the ball, but also cooperate with his teammates to run without the ball. This is the most difficult part of him to defend, and he will become an unneglectable player on the field. A point, whether he has the ball in his hands or not!

In this game, Li Shihao gave full play to his flexible footwork and excellent shooting skills. He made 24 of 11 outside shots and scored 3 points in just 24 quarters.The Philadelphia 76ers simply couldn't beat the Timberwolves, who were fully fired at home. After three quarters, they disarmed and put on the bench to train young players.

The Timberwolves are only one game away from the eighth in the West!
