Chapter 324 : Want to win? Have you asked my opinion?

Because of Jeff on the Jazz’s bench? Hornacek is here, not to mention how strong the overall lineup is, at least the overall performance has always been stable enough, and he is not afraid of any opponent’s substitute lineup in the league. It can always help the team stabilize the situation on the court, even Pull the difference further.

The team has been able to achieve an excellent regular season record of 22 wins and 3 losses this season, and the stability of the bench lineup has played a very important role.

But in this game, the bench led by Lao Huo failed to stabilize the situation as before, and unexpected conditions appeared on the court.

At the beginning of the second quarter, with Hornacek missed a three-pointer, after a bad start, Sam in the Timberwolves lineup? Mitchell and Terry? Porter seemed to be on the hook, all kinds of strong jumps and jump shots to score, how to play and how to make, but also caused a lot of inside kills and injuries.

For a time, Lao Huo’s bench lineup was actually unstoppable.

The efficiency of one side is extremely high, and the scoring efficiency of one side is only above the level, the gap will come out immediately, and the sense of rhythm on the court is robbed by the other side.

The difference is gradually narrowing.

10 points!

7 points!

5 points!

In the second quarter, the game only lasted three minutes and seventeen seconds, and the score difference was reduced to 5 points, and the opponent was chased by 7 points.

The situation on the field was obviously biased towards the Timberwolves. The fans of the home team on the scene saw that the team was swept away from the first quarter of the game, and once again gained the hope of winning, they shouted to cheer the team and made the game in the arena. The atmosphere has become extremely unfavorable for the Jazz.

Under the double pressure and pressure of opponents and opponent fans, Lao Huo and the others are under great pressure on the court.

The next offense of the team can be said to be very important. Once it fails to hit the ball, with the current momentum of the Timberwolves, it is likely to be able to further narrow the point difference.

The morale of the Jazz will be further suppressed, and even directly overpowered by opponents.

Needless to say, the situation on the court will definitely develop towards results that the Jazz 20 team does not want to see.

Not only Wang Pan, their efforts in the first quarter were all in vain, and the trend of the entire game would even be affected.

Perceived this situation, Jerry? Sloan decisively called a timeout, and quickly scanned the eager pair of eyes on the bench, and finally fixed on the most handsome pair of eyes, and said with a serious face: “King, ready to play.”

“Understood!” Without saying anything, Wang Pan just nodded solemnly, then stood up, moved his body briefly, and prepared to debut.

At this time, Lao Huo and the others had already returned to the bench, all with expressions of regret.

In this regard, Jerry? Sloan did not give any instruction or criticism, after all, Lao Huo and the others had actually tried their best. Who could bear how the opponent could fight and advance.

Moreover, the Timberwolves are aggressive and aggressive on the defensive end, and the Jazz’s scoring efficiency will inevitably decline.

Obviously, Hornacek alone can no longer hold the ground.

Who would have expected that two bench bandits suddenly popped out of the Timberwolves bench and caught them by surprise.

However, watching Wang Pan, which is ready to debut, everyone feels relieved.

Perceiving the trust in the eyes of teammates and coaches, Wang Pan felt a sense of being in danger, and his shoulders were heavy.

The Jazz’s lineup changed to Felton? Spencer + Greg? Foster + Wang Pan + Shandon? Anderson + Jeff? Hornacek.



In terms of selection of inside players, Jerry? In fact, Sloan hesitated a little, he just saw the big book with the three characters “I want to upload” on his face, and then glanced at Foster, who had a calm look on his face. He finally chose to be more mature. , The taller one.

This made Daben feel helpless. He wanted to play and cooperate with his Wang brother, but the coach did not give him a chance.

“I still don’t have enough strength, I will have to work harder in the next training!” Daben thought firmly in his heart.

Eyes shifted to the Timberwolves, except for the outstanding performance of Terry? Potter and Sam? Mitchell continues to be left on the court, Cherokee? Parkes, James? Robinson’s two major substitutes also continued to play, and the last spot on the court was given to Kevin? Garnett.

It can be seen that compared to last season, the Timberwolves are facing Kevin this season? Garnett’s trust has deepened a lot.

The timeout has ended, the game continues, the Jazz have the ball…

Hornacek took possession of the ball from the three-point line, and Wang Pan relied on Foster’s pick-and-roll to easily get rid of the defenders. He raised his hand and received the pass without stopping, turning and rushing to the basket. The speed is very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he has already stepped into the free throw line area.

The Timberwolves obviously had targeted defensive arrangements, and they responded quickly and organized a supplementary defense in the first place.

Facing the combined double-teaming of Garnett and Mitchell, Wang Pan’s posture did not look at the passing of the ball. After attracting the attention of the two men’s defense, he suddenly exerted force under his feet. The whole person was like a sharp arrow. He rushed over in the middle and jumped up decisively. The air lever escaped the blocking action of Garnett who wanted to chase the cap, and finished the layup to score.

The point difference was expanded to 7 points cleanly, and the strong personal ability was undoubtedly revealed, which also gave the Jazz generals a reassurance.

Use your actual performance to tell your teammates that you must win this game!

Landing calmly, Wang Pan looked at the helpless Kevin? Garnett smiled: “Kevin, your defense is not good.”

Without waiting for a response, he quickly returned to defense and provoked Kevin? Garnett was a little upset, but he did not lose his mind. In the subsequent offensive round, he still followed the team’s tactics according to the established rhythm, and after restraining the Jazz’s defense, gave the ball to Terry? Bert, or Sam? Mitchell’s hands.

In this game, the two players are in a very good competitive state. The coach’s meaning is very clear. Since the two can score goals, let them play more.

But Burt and Mitchell did not live up to the trust of their coaches. The efficiency is still very good. They have become the two sharp “sniffing” players of the Timberwolves. Sure enough, they are called Terry and Mitchell. They are generally strong. Not too bad. “Wang Pan sighed with emotion.

Even if the team has him on the court to attract defense, or rely on personal ability to score points, but the point difference has not been able to further expand.

If the opponent’s condition has been so good, there is no doubt that this game will enter a tug of war.

As for who wins and who loses in the end, it depends on the efficiency of the two sides of the game that drops first.

In this way, the second quarter of the game soon passed half of the game, the Jazz replaced all the main lineup on the field, the Timberwolves are still full of physical fitness, the state continues to be hot and hot Terry? Bert and Sam? The two Mitchells continued to stay on the court, and the other three positions were played by Kevin? Garnett, Stephen? Marbury, and Tom? Gugliotta is occupied.

This is undoubtedly the most threatening lineup of this Timberwolves team. It scores a lot of points, and it is obviously not realistic to want to completely limit it.

At least with the Jazz’s current lineup status, this step cannot be achieved.

Similarly, the Timberwolves can’t prevent the Jazz’s offense.

Just Wang Pan and Carl? Malone is enough to make them feel headaches, plus John? Stockton’s top organizational skills, Ostertag’s support, and Brian? Russell’s three-pointer is really unstoppable.

Since you can’t prevent it, just hit the counterattack directly.

The idea of ​​the Timberwolves is very simple. It is to bite the score as hard as possible and drag the game into a tug of war.

They are playing at home, and their physical fitness is in an advantageous state. Looking back at the Jazz, they have played four games in six days. This time they came to Minnesota and played back-to-back. They were very exhausted physically and mentally.

There may not be any problems in the first three quarters. The state and performance are well guaranteed. Once the fourth quarter, especially the second half of the fourth quarter, the Jazz’s lack of physical fitness will become more and more serious.

This is a good opportunity for the Timberwolves to win!

Take Jerry? Sloan’s IQ and eyesight cannot see the Timberwolves’ idea, but he has no solution. The Jazz is in this situation. Players with outstanding combat capabilities are very tired. The “administrator” comes on the court. Although there is no problem with physical fitness, the personal ability is obviously not enough.

For the Timberwolves’ nearly tactical strategy, Coach Sloan knows that he can only choose to trust the players at the moment.

As the head coach of this team, at this time, there is really not much he can do, which is to make reasonable use of timeout opportunities, give everyone some rest time, and develop reasonable offensive and defensive tactics. Hope that the team can widen the point difference.

However, the Timberwolves who saw the hope of victory were like predators who smelled blood, gore, and smell. The whole team was desperately attacking and tried their best to keep the score difference on the court.

The truth is… Garnett and they succeeded.

After three quarters, the Jazz only led the Timberwolves by 79:73 by 6 points.

With 35 points in the first quarter, the Jazz only scored 44 points in the second and third quarters. The team’s scoring efficiency is obviously declining. Since the offense could not solve the opponent, Wang Pan began to work hard on the defensive end in the second half, but the effect was mediocre.

For the two major defensive strengths in the Jazz? Wang Pan? Carl? Malone, the Timberwolves directly adopted the attitude of “keep your distance”, and the offensive end tried to avoid confrontation with the two of them as much as possible.

Frequently relying on pick-and-rolls to get rid of defense, even Stephen, who has a jealous and impulsive personality? Marbury suppressed his unhappiness and impulse, ignored Wang Pan’s crap, and followed the tactical ideas set by the head coach, playing very reasonable.

This kind of targeted tactics has had a good effect, and the points difference on the field has not been opened up.

And Garnett can clearly feel that the repressive power of the Jazz on the court is constantly weakening, the mood is getting more and more excited, and they are playing more and more vigorously on the court. Can win!

This is the true thoughts of everyone in this Timberwolves team at this moment.

At the beginning of the last quarter, facing the bench lineup led by Hornacek and Wang Pan, the Timberwolves kept all their three main forces on the court and launched a fierce attack at the beginning. The Jazz’s lead has become precarious, as if it could be caught up at any time.

“Suck.? Huh…”

After taking a deep breath, he slowly spit it out, and looked up at the score board where his team was only ahead by 2 points, and there were nearly nine minutes of game time left, and estimated his current physical condition. , Wang Pan’s eyes flashed with a firm look: “Want to win, have you asked me my opinion? !” After thinking, suddenly started outside the three-point line, Sam who was in charge of following him? Mitchell’s attention was very concentrated, and he stepped to catch up immediately, but his eyes revealed a look of surprise, because Wang Pan’s speed was a lot faster than the third quarter, which is unscientific.

“Could it be that this guy hasn’t played at full strength in the third quarter? !” Mitchell was surprised.

The reality didn’t give him a chance to think about this, because Wang Pan had already penetrated into the basket, and Garnett made a timely defense, intending to attack Mitchell back and forth. But before he could do anything, Wang Pan bowed and slid down and prodded past his side.

Upon seeing this, Parkes didn’t hesitate at all, and immediately made up his defense.

But its slow footsteps could not restrict Wang Pan too much. After a flicker, he turned around dexterously and flashed over, then suddenly stopped and turned back to make a jumper, and the basketball steadily smashed into the basket. .

Landing calmly, glanced at the 4 points difference on the scoreboard, there was nothing to say, and he didn’t pay attention to the opponent’s expression at the moment, Wang Pan turned around and went back to the defense directly.

Feeling the strong fighting spirit emanating from Wang Pan at this moment, as well as that unrelenting aura, the Jazz team generals feel relieved. However, the Timberwolves will not give up easily, and immediately launched an offensive.

Back-up singles Greg? Foster, Kevin? Garnett ate raw with his heels and wings, easily dangling out of the space, and smashing with one hand to help the team score two points. After landing, he roared to the sky!

It aroused bursts of cheers in the arena, and the Timberwolves team was like a rainbow.

However, the Jazz did not give them a chance to continue the show, and Wang Pan ran to the frontcourt the first time.

Felton outside the bottom line? Spencer knew it, and immediately made a long pass.

“Pa jumped up from the center line and received the pass, landed and turned around to speed up and rush straight, Wang Pan took a stride and rushed to the Timberwolves basket. Mitchell gritted his teeth and followed closely, but found helplessly, no matter what he was. With so much effort, the distance between the two is still expanding, and my heart is full of helpless screams: “It’s the fourth quarter, why can this perverted guy be so fast! “It can only be the teammates who have hoped in the front.

Facing Wang Pan, Chris? Kyle swallowed his mouth and water, but his eyes flashed with determination, and he stepped directly to meet him. “Go away!” Wang Pan stepped on the floor within the free throw line and took off directly, hitting Chris? Kyle was caught off guard, but at this time there was no other choice but to meet the man. The two had just made physical contact in the air, Chris? Kyle’s complexion changed drastically, his body’s center of gravity was immediately missing, and the whole person couldn’t stop falling behind him.

On the other hand, Wang Pan’s center of gravity is still stable, and his body is obviously stagnant in the air.

Shengsheng smashed his opponent away, Wang Pan grasped the basketball with both hands, followed the forward momentum, and slammed the basketball into the hoop vigorously.

“Boom?!” Can, violently buckle, Chris? Kyle is paying for his own oversight. .
