horror scorer

Chapter 262
Timberwolves, among Towns, Rose, Bill, Wiggins and Teague, this is considered the Big Five, and they are currently only tenth in the Western Conference.

However, there is only one half-game difference from the eighth.

The Timberwolves currently play the role of Rose as a super sixth man. As a substitute, he averaged 29 minutes per game, scored 19 points, 4 assists and 4 rebounds.

The starting point guard Teague Tiankeng has been called a dribbling mamba, averaging 20 seconds per round of dribbling, and Thibodeau can't do anything about him.

This efficiency is not as good as letting Towns, Bill, and Wiggins play singles one by one.

But now there is no way, the Timberwolves can only suppress Teague's playing time, relying on the talents of the other four to play.

Isaac is better at jumping and beat Towns.

Xiao Hang took the ball, passed halftime by himself, Wiggins posted it up, and after Bill arrived, Wiggins returned to the third position.

Wiggins' talent is very, very high, but at the same time Wiggins is also a representative of wasted talent. He is obviously at the height of 6 feet 8, with super-top speed and lateral movement ability, but his lazy defensive attitude makes him become the opponent. Objects that outside players step over.

Xiao Hang changed direction and accelerated. After passing Wiggins, Towns will definitely not be able to defend. The signature of a generation of defensive coach Thibodeau will be ruined by these guys.

Who would have thought that the best thing about the Timberwolves' defensive data is Rose, whose knee is half disabled.

Teague showed off his Mamba qualities. In the first five rounds of the Timberwolves in the first quarter, Teague dribbled for 5 seconds three times.

If it weren't for Towns' accuracy, Teague would have averaged 7 assists per game.

Before Rose came up, the Timberwolves were 11 points behind 18 to 7. After Rose came up, at the end of the first quarter, they were only 23 points behind 26 to 3 points.

In fact, Teague also wants to play well, but he is really limited, and now that he is old, incapable of breakthrough, and poor in shooting, he can only dribble blindly.

The main thing is that the Timberwolves have a very good atmosphere now. Even Wiggins has stopped paddling at least on the offensive end and is trying to score. Teague is hurting the hearts of his teammates.

Thibodeau was heartbroken, would it be a dead grass to start? Anyway, it's not like Rose hasn't been grassed.

Poor Rose doesn't know that Thibodeau is crazy today, and he wants to let Rose rest for a little chance of victory today.

Thibodeau had an idea in his mind, and immediately implemented it. Now there are no free throws, which cannot lead to a dead ball state. He waved his hand and called a timeout directly. It is really extravagant to use the timeout to replace people.

Rose came on the court, faced Murray with an easy breakthrough, made a throw, and ended the round.

Rose is really recovering well, with a speed burst of 7% of the peak level, averaging 19 points per game. Although many of them are abusing the opponent's substitute, this single goal against Murray can still be seen.

Xiao Hang dribbled the ball across the half court and passed it to Murray. He ran without the ball and pulled it to the bottom corner to receive the pass.

"Shua—" An open three-pointer hit.

Thibodeau yelled at the players on the court to pay attention, don't give Shaw a space.

However, next, Xiao Hang grabbed Towns' strike and advanced the frontcourt. It was still the routine just now. After giving it to Murray, he hit a 3-pointer again without the ball.

After scoring 2 three-pointers in a row, the score was opened again.

However, Wiggins stepped forward at this time. As the main person responsible for the first two goals, Wiggins first singled out Xiao Hang, hit the mid-range, and then actually blocked Xiao Hang's breakthrough. To be precise, it should be Xiao Hang I hit the iron myself.

Then he grabbed the rebound, and actually pushed forward with a fast break, 2 steps into the paint and one step outside the paint, directly pulled up, one-handed battle axe!
These two goals are obviously talent balls, Xiao Hang thought to himself, fortunately Wiggins likes goji berries, otherwise, there would be a strong contender for the small forward position.

Wiggins hit two goals in a row, narrowing the point difference slightly.

However, Xiao Hang assisted Forbes with a three-pointer, suppressing his momentum again.

The status of the Spurs players has basically recovered. The current Spurs are not the Spurs that would lose to the Pelicans before.

Of course, if Rose of the Timberwolves is paired with the three insiders, the effect may be good, and he may win. Towns and Gibson's defense is too sloppy.

At the end of halftime, the Spurs temporarily led by 54 points 49 to 5.

In the second half, Rose continued to start the game, while Xiao Hang was hesitating whether to try to use the routine of defending Curry, but he also thought that this was for preparing for the playoffs, and he couldn't let people know in advance, so he was very entangled.

Murray blocked the breakthrough Ross from behind, Xiao Hang saw this and dispelled his previous thoughts.

Although Rose was very strong in the past, Rose is now an ordinary starter. Believe in Murray and your teammates.

Rose spends more than half of his time fighting against the opponent's substitute. With his strength, the sixth man is definitely possible, but it is not good to fall behind if he starts for a long time.

Murray is young and energetic, and under the guidance of Xiao Hang, the basket is also accurate a lot, and the breakthrough is also below the standard. Although he is a little lighter, has wingspan and speed, he can still defend Rose. There were too many knots, Rose's physical strength declined, and his movements began to deform a bit.

Thibodeau also found a problem, and the teenager Origi was replaced.

Origi, who averaged 17+7 in 3 minutes per game last year, is quite talented. This season, after Butler is gone, he has more time. He averaged 22 minutes per game as a combo guard and can contribute 9 points. 3 assists, it is an indispensable firepower point on the bench.

But it was of no use. Murray was in good condition, or the defense trained by Xiao Hang was getting better and better. He had to fight against the top scorers in the league almost every day, so the goal increase was inevitable.

Not to mention the fourth quarter, it soon entered the garbage time, 109 to 106, the Spurs won the game, but if Popovich hadn't rested several main players in the fourth quarter, otherwise the point difference would not be this point .

After beating the Timberwolves, the Lone Ranger will be greeted later.

The Lone Ranger has not been in a good state recently. In other words, Doncic has encountered the "rookie wall". A hit rate of 4%.

But from Doncic’s recent tweets, one can see that he is a bit homesick. He used to play in Europe, and it’s easy to go home. There are so many games in a year. Now in the NBA, there is a lot of pressure, there are many games, and energy is exhausted. big.

In the first season, the rookie did not have much playing time and the number of starts, but now it has become the cornerstone of the team's next 10 years of training. He has a lot of possessions, fierce defense, and a long time. After one game, he is exhausted.

Changes in mentality will cause a series of sequelae.

Again, most of the white players do not have family difficulties. Without family love, playing is not the last straw for survival, it is just a hobby, just a job.

Those who don't have enough to eat and don't wear warm clothes know that Doncic's condition has deteriorated because of homesickness, and they directly spray hypocrisy.
