NBA bench saves national team

The Timberwolves took the lead in attacking.

James Harden played singles with the ball at the top of the arc. Facing Lowry's defense, he dribbled continuously under the crotch and suddenly retreated outside the three-point line, and raised his hand again to throw a three-pointer.

The basketball arced high.

bang.

Out of the basket.

Qin Feng grabbed the rebound, set off a defensive counterattack, and quickly dribbled across the half court.

Harden defended desperately, and Kirilenko followed closely behind Qin Feng.

The two formed an encirclement trend.

Seeing this, Qin Feng threw the basketball out with his wrist. Kobe caught the basketball, stopped outside the three-point line, and shot a chasing three-pointer.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

"Brilliant job, man, let's break the score in one go!"

Qin Feng and Kobe clapped hands and said at the same time.

"Of course, it's time to start fighting back!"

Kobe's face was ferocious, with a murderous look in his eyes, and his whole demeanor changed.

The two returned to defense one after the other.

Full of oppression.

Timberwolves offense.

After Harden dribbled through the penalty area, he distributed the basketball to Love on the outside, who caught the ball and shot a three-pointer.

bang.

The same goes for iron.

The Lakers set off a defensive counterattack again, and it was the connection between Qin Feng and Kobe. Kobe broke through the penalty area and gave the ball to Qin Feng who followed up. The latter raised his hand and shot a three-pointer.

Swish.

Keep hitting.

6 points in a row!

Timberwolves offense.

Harden made a very correct judgment on the court, knowing that his hand feeling had declined, and Love had failed to make a shot just now, so he did not attack by himself, nor passed the ball to Love, but passed it to Derek Williams s.

The latter is a mid-range jumper.

bang.

Still strike iron.

Harden frowned, faintly worried.

The team's offense suddenly lost power, which undoubtedly gave the Lakers a chance!

Again.

The Lakers played a defensive counterattack.

Qin Feng broke through to the restricted area and easily completed a layup.

beep.

The Timberwolves coach finally couldn't bear it anymore, got up and called a timeout.

He also didn't expect the team to collapse so quickly.

It is necessary to interrupt the offensive rhythm of the Lakers, and at the same time let the team members adjust.

"Guys! Keep up your spirits and think about why we came here? We have to believe in our own strength, even if the opponent is the Lakers, we still have the strength to fight."

The head coach of the Timberwolves encouraged everyone, and at the same time arranged an offensive tactic.

Pause back.

Harden broke through to the penalty area to attract double-teams and then passed the ball to Love, who made a fake shot and then passed it to Howard.

Warcraft jumped up and dunked with both hands.

The Timberwolves finally scored.

But this offense was just a drop in the bucket, and the Timberwolves soon fell into a scoring drought again.

The Lakers did not miss this opportunity and once again set off an offensive frenzy.

Opened the score in one fell swoop.

The second quarter is over.

54: 68.

The Lakers took a 14-point lead.

"When Harden's offensive touch declines, the offense of the entire Timberwolves team is greatly affected!"

"And this is too young. In the second half of the second quarter, they made too many low-level mistakes. The consecutive mistakes made the Lakers play a defensive counterattack."

Barkley said, also a little helpless.

"Honestly speaking, the Timberwolves were able to stalemate with the Lakers until the end of the second quarter, which is already very remarkable. After all, there is a huge gap in strength between the two teams, not only in strength, but also in experience in the playoffs. "

O'Neill said, making a pertinent evaluation.

Barkley nodded, this time he did not object to his partner and agreed with his point of view.

No matter how amazing the Timberwolves play, no one is optimistic about them.

All efforts and surprises are in vain until the miracle happens.

The Timberwolves want a black eight, and the opponent is still an unprecedentedly powerful Lakers team. The hope is really too slim.

......

The long intermission is over.

The second half of the game begins.

The two sides still maintain the opening lineup.

The Timberwolves did make adjustments and began to concentrate more basketball in the penalty area, allowing Howard to participate more in the offense.

After all, in terms of matchups, Howard has an absolute advantage in the penalty area.

This change has indeed achieved good results.

Howard, as the super center who once led the Magic to the finals, is also known as a man who can replace James alone, so his strength is naturally very strong.

Under his leadership, the Timberwolves made great strides and gradually narrowed the score.

After playing for about 3 minutes, the score was caught up to only 7 points.

See here.

Steve Kerr made a decisive change, replacing Gasol, and then pushed Qin Feng to the center position to limit Howard.

This is a tactic he has long thought of.

After all, it is the successful experience left by the predecessors.

When Qin Feng was still in the Thunder team, every time he met the Magic, the head coach Brooks asked Qin Feng to play center, and then the abused Howard had no power to parry.

It's very metaphysical.

now.

Meet Howard again.

Steve Kerr didn't even study ways to restrict Howard, so he went directly to Qin Feng.

on the field.

Qin Feng stood in the restricted area and looked at Howard with a half-smile.

Howard's pupils are wretched, and there is obvious fear in the depths of his eyes.

For him, Qin Feng is like a nightmare.

Not only was he always abused by Qin Feng in the regular season, but in the finals in 09, he was also beaten by Xiang.

In the finals that year, Howard watched Qin Feng's performance throughout the series, and then lost the championship unwillingly and helplessly.

Since then, he has never reached the finals again.

Now that he came to the West, he didn't expect to meet Qin Feng for the first time in the playoffs, and the last thing Howard wanted to see happened.

Qin Feng finally hit the center position.

It's time to sanction him again!

Harden passed the basketball to Howard. The latter did not rush to attack, but observed Qin Feng's defense and became cautious.

Howard saw the opportunity, half turned around and made a small hook.

Qin Feng stood where he was, and just stretched out his hand to interfere with it symbolically.

bang.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Qin Feng grabbed the rebound, then pushed to counterattack, dribbled the ball halfway and then made an emergency stop and shot a three-pointer.

The basketball draws a perfect arc.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

"Beautiful three-pointer! After Qin Feng pushed to the center position, the speed of the Lakers' offensive and defensive transition became faster!"

Barkley said excitedly.

"The key is that Qin Feng's deterrent effect on Howard is too great. In the matchup between the two just now, Qin Feng didn't defend much, and just let Howard shoot the iron with his momentum. This is outrageous!"

"However, in the latter part of my career, I once fought against Qin Feng. Although he is thin, he is really powerful, and he will not suffer a bit against me."

O'Neill said, with surprise in his tone.

Timberwolves offensive round.

After Howard received the basketball again, before he came to remember to make the next technical move, he was directly intercepted by Qin Feng...
