Chapter 646: Persist for three minutes(1/2)
"careful!"
"Bang!"
Just as Wiggins was about to start shooting, accompanied by a sudden and crisp sound from Lavender, Batum came out from the side and directly broke the ball in his hand.
Wiggins was still young and focused mainly on Deng in front of him. He did not notice Batum's touching behind him, and was cut off immediately.
Batum intercepted the ball and advanced rapidly.
A burst of cheers rang out at the scene.
However, the Timberwolves' defense is obviously not so easy to break through. Raven is on the top defense and Rubio on the outside has already retreated quickly.
Batum was not fast. When he reached the middle circle, even Towns caught up.
But at this moment, a figure quickly appeared on his right side.
Shuai Tang!
After seeing the identity of the figure, he did not hesitate and directly threw the ball over.
Shuai Tang received the ball, but he almost didn't slow down, and rushed towards Rubio.
This time, Towns was instantly pulled away by him.
Rubio was left in front of him.
Amid the restless sounds at the scene, he changed direction and accelerated, rushed directly from Rubio. At this time, he happened to reach the free throw line. He took another step forward, grabbed the ball with both hands and jumped up.
Seeing that Rubio couldn't stop him, he pulled him towards Shuai Tang directly.
However, he obviously underestimated Tang Shuai's power. Not only did he not pull anyone away, he himself was also taken back.
"Bang!"
Tang Shuai knocked away Rubio, and the man shook in the air and dunked the ball directly.
A burst of cheers suddenly broke out at the scene, and even the referee's whistle was completely submerged.
This ball is absolutely tough.
After Tang Shuai came down, he looked at Rubio calmly, and then walked towards the free throw line.
There was no interference, only more than 10,000 pairs of eyes quietly watching him with free throws.
"Swish!"
With extra free throws, the Lakers overtook the score 9-7.
With the Timberwolves' offense, Rubio advanced to the frontcourt, directly allowing Wiggins to take the right wing.
Wiggins and Lavine made a pick-and-roll without the ball. After the two broke up and replaced their respective defenders. When they were in the position, the person who was guarding him became Batum.
Rubio then passed the ball in.
The other Timberwolves players opened the attack space to both sides, and Wiggins played Batum with the ball.
There was a noise at the scene.
"Cover! Cover!" a spectator shouted near the front row.
Wiggins hit Batum twice, then turned around and leaned back to attack.
Batum jumped straight and his arms jumped up to interfere.
Wiggins's backward amplitude was very large, and this ball was not able to cover it.
The basketball flew straight towards the basket over Batum's fingertips.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, although Batum did not cover it, he still put enough defensive pressure, and Wiggins made a move.
Towns took the lead at the basket, pulled the ball up a little, then jumped up again, grabbed the offensive rebound, and rose up against Noel's defense.
Noel held his breath and did not lose his position, and his arms stretched out to interfere.
"Bang!"
Towns' move eventually jumped out of the basket, and the rebound was caught by Deng Yi-shou.
A burst of cheers suddenly broke out at the scene.
The Timberwolves' offense once again failed!
Deng won the rebound, and a dribble from behind him dribbling past Aldridge in front of him, followed by a direct pass to Tang Shuai who was on the outside.
Tang Shuai took the ball and pushed forward. When he was in the middle circle, he turned around and passed Rubio directly, and then accelerated suddenly. Facing Kong Lan, he took a deep breath, stepped on the free throw line and flew up.
The spotlights on the sidelines rose everywhere, and he was like an eagle flying with his wings. He pulled the ball high with his right hand and smashed it down into the basket with a fierce force.
"Bang!"
With a loud bang, Tang Shuai staged a free throw dunk in the game!
The scene became quiet, and then the whole thing was boiling.
"Oh, my God!" Barkley exclaimed.
"Ruer passed a good goal, but Don completed it even more crazy. It was unimaginable that the two sides were still anxious." Smith also looked shocked.
11-7, Tang Shuai personally scored a 5-0 attack wave, helping the Lakers take the initiative on the field.
Thibodeau waved to Mohammed behind him and signaled him to replace Rubio.
When Rubio got out of the field, he pulled him over and gave a direct blow, and it was obvious that he was quite dissatisfied with the performance of "Golden Boy" on the defensive end.
Taking advantage of the Timberwolves' substitution, the Lakers also made adjustments. Billups replaced Gasol and Deng with Mozgov and Mike Dermott.
The game on the court continued. After Mohamed came on the court, the Timberwolves' main control became Lavin.
Laven's style is completely different from Rubio, and he prefers offense rather than organization.
After pushing to the frontcourt, he called Towns to a pick-and-roll, then turned himself into an explosive pack, and rushed directly into the inside.
Laven's breakthrough was still good. Mozgov was a little uncomfortable in assisting defense. In the end, he flew out of Mozgov's arms like a loach, and then made a layup in the air to score the ball.
After getting 2 points, the Timberwolves' scoring drought was temporarily alleviated.
Looking back, Tang Shuai went to the frontcourt to organize again, and Lavin guarded him tightly.
Compared with the first to enter the league or the previous seasons, LaVine is not much different on the offensive end, but under the influence of the team's atmosphere, his defense has made qualitative progress. At this moment, he is obsessed with Shuai Tang, which is much more defensive pressure given by Rubio.
Tang Shuai tried twice but couldn't get rid of it. He couldn't help but frown, and then directly signaled his teammates to pull it away.
Seeing this action, there was another burst of cheers like a sea of cheers at the scene.
This is completely American basketball style, and it’s a dry rhythm.
When LaVin saw Tang Shuai's actions, his face darkened, lowered his center of gravity, and his defensive movements became even bigger.
Tang Shuai turned his back and protected the ball, and pushed it back suddenly.
"Bang!"
The two people's bodies collided and made a dull sound.
Lavine was knocked back half a step. Although his defensive skills have improved a lot, he is still much worse than pure strength.
After stabilizing his body, he stretched out his arms and wanted to get the ball.
But Tang Shuai obviously would not let him succeed. When he reached out, Tang Shuai grabbed the moment when his center of gravity was unstable and suddenly exerted force again.
"Bang!"
This time, Lavin responded in a hurry and was hit and took a big step back, with a staggering figure.
Taking advantage of this fleeting opportunity, Tang Shuai turned to the right and did not give Lavin the time to jump again. Before Wiggins' assisted defense was in place, he turned back and took action.
The movements are elegant and the postures are picturesque.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, the jump shot with a backward hit a steady hit.
There was a burst of cheers at the scene.
Lavin shook his head with some annoyance, took a deep breath and calmed down, and then continued to hold the ball and advance through the half.
He arrived at the frontcourt and was calling Towns to pick-and-roll, and then used his usual tricks to break into the inside.
This time Mozgov intends to shrink the basket, and Deng also double-teams from the oblique side.
When Lavin saw a chance, he made a false breakthrough and made a real pass, and was ready to pass the ball to Mohammed on the right wing.
The idea of this ball is very good, but unfortunately he is a little poor in ability. The pass flew directly from the middle of Mohammed and Batum.
The fans on the sidelines burst into laughter.
Lavine's mood became more and more annoyed. At this time, Towns went over and patted his head, and his expression improved a little.
At this time, Tang Shuai grabbed a certain point.
The youth army has a lot of variables and is good at fighting, just like the Trail Blazers led by Lillard last year, but not good at fighting, just like the LaVine in front of you. To put it bluntly, it is greatly affected by psychological quality.
