Chapter 648
Although Sanders is a coach who advocates offensive and defensive balance, he still pursues tradition in essence. Sanders was born in Cleveland in 1955. Although Cleveland's manufacturing and steel industries had already begun to decline at that time, perhaps it was Naturally, Sanders had a working-class toughness and iron blood in his genes, and he brought his personality to Minnesota, to the Timberwolves.

Now the Mavericks lead the Timberwolves by 18 points, and there are less than 4 minutes left in the second quarter. Sanders doesn't want to admit defeat so easily, he issued a call to battle to his players.

Next, the Timberwolves' defensive pressure increased a lot, and the players' defensive actions began to increase. Garnett even raised his iron elbow. Although he is not a muscular man, he has a lean body type. In one sentence As the saying goes, "Don't look at him as thin, his bones are full of flesh." Garnett has a very good physique and rarely suffers major injuries.

The pressure on the Mavericks suddenly increased a lot. Although they mostly rotated on the outside and rarely entered inside, the Timberwolves players were also very talented. Garnett even claimed to be able to defend from the first to the fifth position. Here you can actually see how quickly his feet move.

So after the Timberwolves suddenly increased their defense and expanded their defense, the Mavericks suddenly couldn't play.

Liu Han mainly attacked with the ball, but the other players of the Mavericks couldn't find a suitable space to run. Liu Han had no choice but to attack more by himself.

But the Timberwolves set up a pocket formation for Liu Han. Sprewell, who was originally defending Liu Han, was replaced to defend veteran Aaron McGee. Sanders let Trenton Hassell, who was more focused on defense, defend Liu Han.

Hassel oppressed Liu Han's ball holder and let Liu Han break through inside.

As soon as Liu Han arrives inside, the Timberwolves will immediately retract their formation, completely locking Liu Han's room for movement.

Garnett repeatedly tried to show his "iron blood" on Liu Han with an iron elbow, but Liu Han avoided it very cleverly.

The Timberwolves played a climax in the remaining three minutes of the second quarter. By the end of the half, the Timberwolves had narrowed the point difference to 10 points.

During the intermission, Nelson emphasized that the players must withstand the pressure in the second half of the game, and at the same time signaled Liu Han not to continue to attack with the ball, let Odom hold the ball, and Liu Han dropped low to attract defensive pressure.

After the start of the third quarter, the Timberwolves continued their high-pressure defense and their "iron blood" offense, but the Mavericks gradually adapted to this defense. This level of defense has basically reached the level of the playoffs.

Recently, the Mavericks have been strengthening their defensive training and improving their ability to confront, which makes them not directly collapse in the face of pressure, and they have gradually stabilized after adapting to the pressure.

Liu Han gave up possession of the ball to let Odom hold the ball to organize the offense, while he went down low to find an opportunity to attack.

Garnett gave up Jamison, who had been rotating on the outside, and directly found Liu Han in the low post to attack and defend one-on-one with the opponent.

After Liu Han received the pass from Odom in the low position, he took the ball with his back and waited for his teammates to pull away. Garnett also signaled his teammates to go away. He wanted to have a real confrontation with Liu Han.

Liu Han held the ball with one hand in his right hand and released it to the right side of his body, trying to attract Garnett's attention with fake moves, but Garnett was unmoved. Liu Han basically felt Garnett through physical contact. The movement of Nate's body. After he felt the stability of Garnett's body, he suddenly turned to the left side of his body. When Han stepped on the first step, he directly leaned back and shot backwards. Garnett did not expect that Liu Han could have such a strong body control, and he could control the body's backward drift when the center of gravity seemed to move forward. Shooting, this is not something that ordinary people can do, and it even makes people feel that it violates the common sense of physics.

Garnett was angry from the bottom of his heart, and his evil turned to courage. He was directly defeated by Liu Han once in the first half. At this time, he directly got close to Liu Han's body, and stretched out a foot towards the position where Liu Han landed, seemingly unintentionally but very insidiously.

Although Liu Han had fallen in the air, he clearly sensed the opponent's malice, but at this moment he had lost all focus, so he could only lift his left foot slightly as much as possible, while leaning his body backward as much as possible, To reduce the impact of the body landing.

When Liu Han landed on the ground, he only felt his left ankle twist, and then his whole body slid backwards, which was considered a dangerous escape, but his heart was already filled with anger. "Man" is actually a villain.

The ball thrown by Liu Han fell into the bag steadily, but the referee did not blow the whistle. Garnett's movements were very subtle, which deceived the referee's judgment.

In the next game, Liu Han exploded completely, and he began to frequently ask for the ball in the low post. Odom saw Liu Han's anger, because there was no expression on Liu Han's face at this time.

Garnett did not regret his behavior, but he felt Liu Han's growing strength, even he felt the pain.

Liu Han seldom even made peripheral shots, just low-post attacks. Since he returned to the NBA, he has rarely done this. This is the first time that even if the Timberwolves double or triple team, Liu Han never hesitates. Looking for opportunities to make shots, all kinds of tough confrontations made the Timberwolves players finally realize how powerful the Oriental man in front of him is.

In the defense, Liu Han has completely turned into an all-round fighter. Various supplementary defenses have frequently hindered the Timberwolves' offense. The Mavericks have played similar defensive and offensive tactics around Liu Han in training before the start of the season. Not surprised.

The score gradually expanded with Liu Han's real toughness. Back then, Jordan could explode with Liu Han, but now even at his peak, Jordan may not be able to fight against the current Liu Han.

Garnett only felt that his eyes were almost bloodshot, but he couldn't stop Liu Han's attack. He even had to rest because he committed his fourth foul early.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks re-extended the point difference to 17 points.

In the fourth quarter, Liu Han strongly asked the ball to play without rest, and he wanted to leave an indelible image for the Timberwolves.

When the game ended, the Timberwolves players hurriedly left the American Airlines Center arena. They became complete losers today. Liu Han scored 47 points in the two quarters of the second half, plus 20 points in the first half. Liu Han scored 67 points throughout the game, allowing the Timberwolves to lose to Dallas by 34 points.

Now, someone finally realizes what kind of situation Liu Han is tough. The teams in the league also realize that Liu Han's anger cannot be aroused. Liu Han with an abnormal attitude is invincible.
