Chapter 246

The Timberwolves' loss to the Spurs created a voice in the basketball world.

[The dog stabs the sky to defeat the little wolf, and the stone Buddha suppresses the big devil. 】

According to the analysis of basketball experts, if the Wolves want to go further this season and set foot on the stage of the Western Conference Finals, they must find a way to avoid early confrontation with the dog during the playoffs.

Otherwise, it would be ridiculous to be beheaded by the old Spurs in the first round.

Other teams in the West, seeing the Timberwolves losing to the Spurs, took out their small abacus and began to "calculate" the Wolves, intending to snipe the upstarts in the West.

Some teams want to lay an ambush on the record, for example, they plan to let the Wolves win easily in key games.

Some teams are plotting reinforcements, preparing to build an invincible battleship, and defeat the upstarts in the West by accumulating stars.

The house leak happened to be cloudy and rainy, and the Timberwolves officially announced: Li Yu sprained his wrist in the game against the Spurs, and it is doubtful to play against the Mavericks in the next game.

After the Mavericks won the championship in 11 years, they were defeated by the Wolves in the defending season and fell in the first round, which was almost a shame.

They wanted to regroup this season, but the old driver is really old this time and can't take it anymore.

Their record this season is very unsatisfactory. So far, they have been elected as the goalkeeper of the Western Conference.

The uniform team of the Mavericks has started to rebuild in the post-veteran era, but there are no particularly valuable players in the team. Even veteran drivers, the prospects in the trade market are not very good.

The Mavericks' front office can't steal first-round picks from other teams like Ainge did.

If they want to rebuild, they can only do it through the draft. If they want to get a good pick, they must be bad.

However, the team has an old driver. Although they can't beat the top teams, they have almost never lost against the fringe teams in the playoffs.

For the Mavericks, the road to reconstruction is long and difficult. I am afraid that only when the old driver runs out of fuel can they let themselves go and chase the No. [-] pick.

The home of the Mavericks, the American Airlines Center, the locker room.

Since the team has no pressure to defend the title, the Mavericks have played happy basketball, and they enjoy themselves in their daily interactions.

Jay Crowder, a rookie player acquired by the Mavericks from the Cavaliers, was very active in the locker room. He discussed with the team's few young players how to defeat the big devil and stepped on the corpse of the Timberwolves.

Jay-Claude looked confident, patted his chest and said: "I have a way to completely restrain the big devil."

The rest expressed disbelief. Although Li Yu was a sophomore, his performance was imaginative. Not to mention a rookie player like Jae Crowder, even a long-established defensive player in the league would not dare Guaranteed to be able to lock the big devil.

Moreover, Li Yu is injured, so it is not certain whether he will be able to play in this game.

Therefore, everyone treats what Jae Crowder said as a fart.

Jay Crowder, without explaining too much, sat in the corner and kept sneering.

The game is about to start.

The live DJ announced the starting lineups of the two teams.

Wolves starting lineup: Lillard, Li Yu, big brother-in-law, Paige, Love.

Mavericks starting: up - Collison, OJ-Mayo, Sean - Marion, the old driver, Chris - Kaman.

Unexpectedly, Li Yu, who had a sprained wrist, actually played. The game against the Spurs has just passed two days, how could he recover?

Could it be that the big devil's injury was a smoke bomb released by the Wolves coaching staff?

The generals of the Mavericks were full of imagination, secretly cursing Ah Shuai's old silver coin in their hearts.

The two sides jumped the ball in the middle circle, Kevin - couldn't jump the ball - Love, watching Baldy Ka take the initiative above his head, I was very upset.

So in the process of facing each other, the two fought openly and secretly, squeezing back and forth
Bang, Li Yu received the basketball thrown by Lillard, and then hung it to Love under the basket.

His desire to attack today is not high. In fact, the coaching staff didn't think about asking him to take on the offensive task, or even want him to attend this game, but he insisted on playing.

Seeing his persistence, the coaching staff of the Wolves asked the team doctor to evaluate him on the field and found that his sprain was miraculously healed.

He was able to get clearance from the team doctor thanks to the talent of the true-Iron Warrior, which allowed him to recover quickly from injuries.

Although the injury was healed, he was still a little uncomfortable when shooting, so when he saw that Love was looking for a position under the basket, he passed the ball directly.

He was submissive when jumping the ball, attacked the basket with heavy punches, and Love relied on his skills to play with the bald man and easily scored two points.

2: 2.

The Mavericks attacked, Mayo played a pick-and-roll with the old driver, broke into the inside and missed a mid-range jumper, but Mayo picked up the rebound and made a hit after adjusting the dribble.

2: 4.
The ball was switched, Lillard singled out Collison, swung his body sharply, forced past the defender, and ended the offense with an emergency stop jumper.

4: 4.

The two teams didn't show any defensive strength at the beginning, and they were both looking for touch in shooting, and the score increased quickly.

Entering the official timeout, 16:18, the score was very close.

In the first half of the first quarter, Li Yu didn't take a single shot. He was all playing for his teammates and didn't consume much energy. Therefore, during the regular rotation, Ashuai chose to keep him on the court to test the lineup.

Back from the timeout, the Wolves lineup: Billups, JR, Li Yu, Middleton, UAE.

The overall height of this lineup is not high, and apart from JR and Li Yu, the other three are not players known for their athletic ability.

Losses must be gained, and their outside shooting ability is quite good.

The Mavericks made little adjustments, except that Marion, who was sleepwalking on both ends of the offense and defense, was replaced by Jae Crowder, and the rest were still starters.

After a timeout, the Mavericks attacked. Mayo played a pick-and-roll with the old driver again. This time he broke through to the inside of the Wolves and passed the ball to the old driver who was running down. The latter received a pass from his teammate and made an easy layup.

At 16:20, the Wolves trailed by 4 points, cheers erupted at the scene, and they saw the dawn of victory.

If the team can overthrow the league's No. [-], it will not only wash away the shame of being swept by the gentleman last season, but also eliminate the biggest obstacle to the team's journey this season.

The black eight and the black eight, the hunter and the prey, the identities can be switched.

The ball was switched, and Billups pushed the ball to the frontcourt and settled near the top of the arc. After coming to the Wolves, he not only played the No. 1 position he was thinking about, but also won the ball continuously. His small life was very comfortable.

Moreover, the nominal boss of the team, as well as the real boss, are easy to get along with. The atmosphere of the team is very happy, and he likes to play here.

Overtly and secretly, he has expressed more than once that he hopes to play in the Wolves until he retires.

In this regard, the Wolves uniform team did not make foolish promises, but expressed loyalty to Billups and sent many words of praise.

Bang, bang, bang, Billups dribbled the ball looking for an opportunity, and when he saw the big devil coming up to meet him, a smile appeared naturally on his pig's kidney face.

With this young man on the team, there is no need to worry about offense at all, he just needs to pass the ball to the opponent.
