Chapter 163 You Are Still Too Conservative

Timberwolves' obsession is "just once~"

Counting last season, the Timberwolves have lost nine games against the Sonics. If they really win one game, it will be a historic breakthrough.

Although the Timberwolves were originally a new army that had just joined the league, they had no history.

But today, God opened his eyes, the team members' hands are bursting!

It was George Karl who was the first to call a timeout to stabilize.

The camera showed the handsome face, which was full of sternness.

"You have today too!"

This is the inner workings of the fans, for which it is possible to make louder noises.

The Timberwolves players on the other side high-fived each other. They felt that this game was the rhythm they wanted. Is it really because the coach changed a starter?

At this time, Sanders stopped talking, with an inscrutable look, and the players were even more awed when they saw it.

The coach is really awesome, only when you are in a desperate situation

beep--

The whistle blows and the players return to the pitch.

At this time, just over four minutes into the first quarter, even before the usual time, the Sonics were still in their original starting lineup, without any changes.

The Timberwolves came back from a timeout to maintain a good tactical mix and shooting touch, always leading by about 5 to 7 points.

Off the field, George Karl suddenly reached out and waved at Qin Fei.

"To me?"

Beckoning at this time, there is only one thing, the coach is going to replace him, which is much earlier than usual.

Qin Fei walked to his side, George Karl hooked his shoulder, pointed to the field and said: "Qin, you will be replaced next. The Timberwolves' offensive firepower is very strong today, and they have accelerated their transition offense, and transition offense is the way you are best at scoring."

What does coach mean?

After Qin Fei heard this, did he want him to go up and grab points?

"After you play, I will replace Perkins, Kemp will be at the fifth position, Schramf will be at the fourth position, and you will be at the third position."

George Karl is ready to play with a smaller lineup.

Even if the Timberwolves have a small lineup now, the Sonics are not without a small lineup. After Qin Fei is replaced, the perimeter defense will be Jose + Payton + Qin Fei, firmly building the iron gate.

Qin Fei is a wing player. Since he entered the league, he has always rotated at the first, second and third positions. The third position is the small forward, a role that can be played inside or outside.

"Also, pay attention to disrupting the Timberwolves' offensive rhythm. Although they have a good touch, as long as the rhythm is out of order, no matter how many three-pointers they score, they still can't win." In this era, I have never heard of anyone who can shoot deadly three-pointers. Three-pointers are a supplement to the team's outside weapons, but they will definitely not be the main weapon.

So George Karl is not worried about the Timberwolves' perimeter. He is just worried that the Timberwolves' [-]-point accuracy will affect the overall perimeter defense of the Sonics, so he will replace Qin Fei to further strengthen the perimeter defense.

Moreover, Qin Fei reacts quickly and moves laterally quickly, so he can contribute more in assisting defense.

beep--

A player on the field fouled and entered a dead ball, and Qin Fei was about to appear on the field.

"Look, Qin Fei is about to play!"

Anne grabbed Helena's arm, more excited than Helena.

"Yes, yes, let's watch the game carefully. Look around, there are all Timberwolves fans. Don't expose our identities."

Helena looked around vigilantly, and saw an uncle, looking at the field with bright eyes, shouting KG all the time, crazy.

Qin Fei plays small forward.

He reported a height of 1 meters when he registered. In fact, he is about the same height in shoes, which basically meets the height requirements of NBA small forwards.

However, the NBA has never paid special attention to height. They value more obvious static talents such as standing and touching heights. After all, when playing, they rely on their hands to grab the ball, not their heads.

In terms of real size, Qin Fei's old opponent at the moment, Sam Mitchell, who also signed up for 1 meters, seems to be not as tall as Qin Fei.

After repeated defeats and battles, Sam Mitchell immediately clung to Qin Fei, pushing Qin Fei with strong force, but Qin Fei remained motionless.

The Sonics were attacking, and Qin Fei, who was a small forward, was in ambush at the bottom corner.

In the high position, Payton was doing his homework, and the Timberwolves, who had experienced many battles, also learned how to behave. They went up ahead of time to double-team Payton, and at the same time moved on the flanks to shrink and defend.

Payton couldn't turn to Kemp, who was down, and turned to Jose.

Jose shot 40.00% of his three-pointers, and made decisive three-pointers after receiving the ball.

hit!

"Good defense, good defense!"

Sanders applauded, this is the picture he wants to see, the Supersonics give up attacking the inside or the middle distance, and use three-pointers to solve the final battle.

The Timberwolves quickly served the baseline ball, and Marbury passed halftime in the blink of an eye.

In this round of confrontation with Payton, Marbury suffered a lot, but his growth is also huge, and his ability to protect the ball has improved a lot.

"Come out and block it!"

Marbury beckoned to the inside, and it was Garnett who echoed him.

The two exchanged glances, made a false screen, and Garnett took the ball down and hit the basket.

A miss, the rebound was taken by Kemp, and Kemp landed. He was going to pass the ball to Payton, but suddenly saw a person rushing across the half court early.

There was a movement in his heart, and with a slight flick of strange force, he took the ball and flew up.

In front, it was Jose who made the quick break.

Jose caught the ball, saw Qin Fei who was following him, and passed it across.

Qin Fei has the [Offensive and Defense Conversion Master] badge.

It is no exaggeration to say that Qin Fei is quite professional when it comes to running back and forth.

The ball was passed to Qin Fei's hands, his forward body suddenly paused, he dribbled the ball behind his back, killed his figure and moved laterally.

Mitchell's experience is so experienced, he slid to his right and rear, blocking Qin Fei's breakthrough direction in advance.

But at this moment, Qin Fei just caught the basketball that bounced from behind. He lowered his left shoulder and folded his body to catch it. His left hand changed direction and switched to his right, and he still broke through to the right.

This shoulder sinking is wonderful. I learned it from Iverson and applied it to the [Akle Terminator] technique. It has been tried and tested repeatedly. Mitchell was also stunned. Qin Fei directly punctured his expectations and walked away from the side he couldn't stop.

At this time, the other Timberwolves players had not had time to retreat, and the formation was in chaos.

As soon as he broke through, it became even more chaotic. In the end, Qin Fei scored a point in the middle. The unguarded Uncle Kan caught the ball with his hands raised high, and flew up, piercing the sky like a shooting star.

"boom!"

The center of the target felt like it had been hit in the bull's-eye, and the hearts of the fans were hit hard by a sledgehammer.

Chasing 5 points in a row, the Sonics were only 17 point behind 18 to 1, and the Timberwolves requested a timeout.

At this time, it was less than a minute before Qin Fei appeared on the stage.

The audience fell into a dead silence, and the air was so heavy that it was impossible to breathe.

The fans are so sad, why did the lead that was so hard to build disappear in the blink of an eye?

It was Qin Fei again.

They know that rookie came from New York, or was traded from New York.

Mitchell was very sad. Qin Fei kept saying that he was a defensive player, but occasionally a flash of inspiration on the court always made him a background board. He couldn't remember how many times this happened.

Too bad

It feels like a hit and miss.

If Qin Fei knows that he thinks this way, he must be wronged. Kobe will score 81 points on the head of the "Menglong" you coached in the future.

People who will be coaches in the future will benefit from more experience.

Sanders actually felt that Mitchell did a good job. Qin Fei, who averaged nearly 10 points per game in the regular season, had single digits in the first two games.

Mitchell:

Pause ends.

The fans calmed down, and under the organization of the on-site DJ, they began to howl in unison to cheer up the players of the home team.

In the offensive position, Marbury chose to break through the basket.

False and true pass, Garnett hit a mid-range jumper near the bottom line.

"Pretty!"

The fans just applauded and found that the Sonics were fast breaking again.

Since the replacement of Perkins and the loss of an insider, the Supersonics have really started to take off like a Boeing plane. The offensive and defensive speed is nothing to say.

Two breaths, Payton has got the ball in the frontcourt.

Peyton was also a little unaccustomed to it, it was too fast, but his nerves were very excited, so exciting!

Qin Fei came out around the post, and Payton carried Marbury to the baseline, turned around and dribbled, and then made a small throw.

The ball was not scored, and Garnett gave the ball to Marbury.

Marbury also immediately started running wildly.

The two sides switched offense and defense, and Qin Fei, the "turn-back running master", rushed across the half court actively and completed the retreat immediately.

Marbury passed to Doug on the diagonal.

Doug West, even older fans may not remember him, but he is indeed a very good dunker. He participated in the same dunk contest as Uncle Kan that year. He just turned 30 this year, which is the peak age of a player.

He caught the basketball and rushed to the basket with the explosive package.

He wanted to dunk, but a tall body like a giant spirit stood in front of him.

He had already lifted the basketball at this time and was on the strings, so he had to send it, and it was too late to react with his reflex nerves.

"Snapped!"

A slap was sent flying.

shit

The Supersonics bench players all stood up, dumbfounded.

Doug didn't even see it clearly, who covered him?

He was dizzy and turned his head to see that the figure picked up the basketball that had rolled on the floor, leaving him with the number "18" jersey on his back.

"It's fucking okay"

Sanders didn't believe it. He felt that Qin Fei was a thug, but looking at Doug, he seemed to have resigned to his fate?

So I originally wanted to communicate with the referee, but in the end I ran to the court and shouted to the players to retreat and stop standing still.

Beside George Karl, Bob Withey, who had unbuttoned his suit, was particularly excited.

"Look, George, I just said it, this kid is a natural offensive and defensive beast, and you are still too conservative in his development."
