Chapter 216 Timberwolves VS Clippers
Chapter 216 Timberwolves VS Clippers
Visiting team locker room.
The Timberwolves players are preparing for the upcoming game.The locker room was quiet until coach Adelman came in.
Adelman, of course, was clichéd and said some inspiring things.When it comes to cooking chicken soup, compared with Lao Li, he is not worthy of carrying shoes for others.But there is no way, this game seems to be more or less ominous, the opponent is playing at home, and they are playing back-to-back away games, and they are still carrying the shadow of a 4-game losing streak.
A 4-game losing streak is actually not the end of the world. Even with a 4-game losing streak, their current winning percentage is over 5%.Now the team's biggest problem is that Shou Ye and Love are not calling.The highest-paid players on these two teams are insiders, and you can't do without them.But how to use them to maximize the potential of the two made him and his coaching staff very embarrassed.
Of course he could see that the current team's combat effectiveness was not as good as when Shou Ye led the team alone. At that time, the team also lacked offense and could defend online.It's all right now, the offense doesn't necessarily improve much, and the defense is completely gone, which is really unacceptable.
Can't Adelman see Love's pick-and-roll disaster performance?But can you not use it as a star player?
No!
But the team can't go on like this forever, or he will leave.What he can do is to make a fuss about rotation and personnel matching.Another thing is to do the work of being a star player and give them a psychological massage.
Staples Center Arena.
Los Angeles has Hollywood, so you can often see movie stars at Staples.Although today is the home court of the Clippers, some stars came to watch the game.
When Shou Ye was practicing, he saw the actor Nicholson wearing sunglasses and sitting on the sidelines with his daughter early. He didn't know many celebrities, but he happened to know Nicholson.
In the Clippers, the current team's starting small forward Caron Butler was Shouba's teammate when he was with the Mavericks.
The two were still very cordial when they met and talked for a long time.
Shou Ye also sighed that the longer he played in the NBA, if he changed teams in the future, many teams would have his teammates.
The game was broadcast live on the sports channel, and Yu Jia and Su Qun were responsible for the commentary.
The starting lineups of the two sides were announced. The starting lineup of the Clippers for the home game was Jordan Jr., Short Finn, Caron Butler, Chauncey Billups and Chris Paul.
The Timberwolves' starting lineup is Shou Ye, Love, AK47, Malcolm Lee and Ridnour.
In the sports channel studio, Yu Jia asked: "Mr. Su, do you think the Timberwolves have hope to end their losing streak in this game?"
Su Qun adjusted his glasses, and said solemnly: "The Clippers are not in good shape recently. The Timberwolves are back to back today. They have lost 4 games in a row. I can only say that they have a chance to win."
"What do you think Shou Ye needs to do in the face of Griffin and Jordan to help the Timberwolves to the greatest extent?" Yu Jia asked.
Su Qun continued to answer solemnly: "He needs to protect the rebounds. When attacking, not only him, but also Love, must be able to hit 3-pointers. Jordan can't come out. Both of them have 3-pointers. Ability, as long as the shot is open, the Timberwolves' offense can be opened up. Now it is too difficult for the Timberwolves to rely on defense to win, Love's defense is not good, and Shouye's defense cannot be regarded as a very defensive center."
The starting lineups of the two sides came on the field, and Duanfen disdained to shake hands with Shouye, but hugged Love with a smile.
Of course Shou Ye would not lick his face and shake hands with Short Fen, he was afraid that when he shook hands, the other party would blame him for his short arms in an interview.
Shou Ye and Xiao Qiaodan went to the middle circle to prepare for the jump ball, and the game was about to start.
Little Qiaodan looks very similar to a domestic actor. Shou Ye can't remember the name of this actor, but he looks very similar anyway.
At the start of the jump ball, Shou Ye tried his best to jump, but he was beyond his reach.It is estimated that Jordan's bullet speed is better than that of Howard now, so he can't reach it.
Caron Butler got the ball and gave it to CP3, who held the ball for half court.
Duanfen came up to pick and roll, and Paul gave the ball to Duanfen who cut out.
Duanfen held the ball and operated fiercely like a tiger. Seeing that Love was defending him like an ice block, he didn't respond, so he directly shot a zombie jumper...
I don't know if it was a little unprepared for being emptied. The arc of this shot was too flat and the ball missed!
Shou Ye caught Jordan under the basket and closed the board steadily.
Shou Ye rebounds +1!
Su Qun explained: "Shou Ye has a very good habit of being stuck in position. Jordan is taller than him, let alone jumping. But after being stuck in the position, no matter how high you jump, you will be able to jump if you can accurately judge the position of the rebound. Useless."
The Timberwolves attacked, Love wanted the ball, and after getting the ball, he played short with his back.
Duanfen is also a powerful power forward. He is not afraid of a white short insider like Love. He is afraid of Zach Randolph, a black bear, or Daidai, who is taller than 211 and has arms longer than his legs. The so-called No. 4 position.
Love slammed Duanfen, but the effect was not obvious. He turned and cut inside and forced a shot-but no!
Jordan closed the board and 58 dribbled over.
58 holds the ball and continues to pick and roll with Duanfen. This time, Duanfen immediately chooses to cut in.
58 took the ball to the free throw line and hit a time lag. Facing the defensive pick-and-roll catastrophe Love, he directly scored the first 2 points of the game with his steady mid-range.
The Timberwolves attacked, Love held the ball in the waist and handed over to Malcolm Lee, who received the ball and split the corner AK47.
The AK47 is divided into arc top longevity leaves.
After Shou Ye received the ball, he tried to shoot a 3-pointer-it didn't work!
Duanfen closed the board, came over with the ball by himself, faced Shouye's top defense, and forcibly charged, the two had violent physical contact!
But the referee didn't blow it. Amidst the booing of the fans at the scene, Duan Fen made an emergency stop and made a jump shot—still nothing!
Le Fu closes the board.
Yu Jia laughed and said, "The referee really made the two of them confront each other physically like this!"
Su Qun explained: "The NBA is a business league, and sometimes the referees are relatively lenient in whistle-blowing, encouraging you to confront."
The two teams got a lot of chances on the outside at the beginning, but their shooting percentages were very low. Only three shots made a mid-range shot.
58 dribbles over and organizes an offense at the top of the arc.
Billups came out to catch the ball, and the ball was immediately transferred.
Billups attacked with the ball, and after breaking through the penalty area, he scored Jordan under the basket!
Little Jordan wanted to end through Shou Ye, but the ball was still low and was destroyed by Shou Ye!
AK47 immediately came over and snatched the ball away.
Timberwolves strike back!
Shou Ye counterattacked and ran, received the ball at the top of the arc, feinted and scored Love outside the weak side 3-point line!
Love catches the ball, hits the 3-and there it is!
The Timberwolves' first goal of the game, Shou Ye assisted +1!
At 3:2, the Timberwolves lead by 1 point!
