Chapter 35 Three Stones Together

"Rookie, I will dunk on your head!"

Madman spat trash.

This is also one of the means of offense, which can distract the defender.

But the rookie on the opposite side was expressionless and unmoved at all.

The madman couldn't help laughing: Stone, stone?Really stable.

The madman started, and Li Lei blocked all the consecutive cross steps.

"Good defense."

Madman said.

He didn't care either, and waved for Olowokandi to come out for the pick-and-roll.

Olowokandi is black and tough, with a big body.Li Lei couldn't get around, so he had to switch defenses with Grant.

The madman faced Grant, a standard small fight.

Grant, who was in the first grade, slowed down, and was completely wiped out by a fake move by the madman.

Haslem jumped up.

The madman didn't slow down, he pulled up against Haslem with the ball in his arms, pulled the bar sharply in the air, and avoided Haslem.

The 33-year-old madman still has pretty good physical fitness.

The hoop was right in front of him, and the madman lifted the ball, and the basketball flew towards the hoop.

Snapped!
Just then, a big yellow hand slapped the basketball out of the baseline.

Li Lei.

That damned rookie, he caught up again.

A nice chasing cap.

A lot of whistles sounded at the American Airlines Center: Look, the rookie No. 15 on the team is playing well.

"Shet, you bloody bastard."

The madman couldn't help cursing.

The Timberwolves still have the ball, but there are only 5.7 seconds of attack time left, and it will take 24 seconds.

Garnett catches the ball and prepares to finish the shot.

At this moment, Li Lei rushed up and cooperated with Odom to pinch Garnett.

Garnett's first reaction was to split the ball.

If you are flanked, your teammates must have space.

He just thought this way, but the rookie No. 15 on the opposite side stepped forward like crazy.

Precise steal + brown sugar defense can put a lot of pressure on the opponent.

Even Garnett felt the pressure and was unable to pass the ball for a while.

With such a delay, there are less than 2 seconds left in the time.

The pass was too late, and Garnett had to do it himself.

A step back, Garnett intends to force up.

But the rookie stuck to it, giving enough physical resistance.

Garnett couldn't quite take off.

On the other side, Odom rose from the ground and slapped him with a big slap.

Snapped!
Another block.

Odom beat his chest and roared. After being bullied by Garnett for most of the quarter, he finally let out his breath.

"Nice job."

Odom and Li Lei high-fived, really a rookie that people have to like.

The Heat attacked, and Wade continued to stare at the old Cassell bullying.

Cassell is a little helpless, he is really powerless when he is old, and his speed is completely unable to keep up with a speedy guard like Wade.

Garnett can only come up to make up the defense.

Wade quickly split the ball to the open Odom.

The madman came up to defend Odom again, and Odom passed the ball to Li Lei who was ambushing in the corner.

Li Lei has a big open position, so he adjusted and shot without haste.

Swish!
A clean three-pointer.

At 16:13, the Heat narrowed the point difference to 3 points.

Timberwolves attack.

Cassell couldn't get rid of Wade himself, and played pick-and-roll with Garnett.

After dismantling, Cassell is facing Odom, a small opportunity to play big.

But Li Lei's defense was in place.

Cassel can only pass to Garnett in an empty cut.

Garnett catches the ball at the free throw line and Wade guards him, which is a mismatch.

Haslem saw it early and rushed to assist Wade.

In order to avoid double-teaming, Garnett quickly split the ball.

But the ball was given a little too quickly, and the height was not enough.

The big center Olowokandi couldn't bend down, and the ball passed through his fingertips.

Veteran Jones took the opportunity to steal the basketball.

The Heat's fast break, all members go down quickly.

The Timberwolves are older and taller on average, so they can't run past a group of rookies.

The Heat took the opportunity to score two more points.

At 16:15, there was only 1 point left in the score.

The Heat played a wave of 7:0.

"Ohohoho!"

Miami fans are boiling.

The dismal start let them down, but after the substitution, the Heat suddenly gained momentum.

"what happened?"

In the commentary seat, Barkley, who was still telling the story of Jordan's gambling money, suddenly heard the cheers from the scene, glanced at the scoreboard, and was stunned.

Kenny Smith smiled and said, "Charles, you're missing the big part."

Ernie Johnson explained seriously: "After the Heat changed, they played a suffocating defense. The Timberwolves repeatedly failed to attack, giving the Heat a chance to break fast. To solve the problem, the Timberwolves must throw the damn ball into the In the basket."

Timberwolves coach Philip Saunders yelled from the sidelines: "Cassell, steady the rhythm, don't run with the opponent."

Sanders is still very experienced.

He can see that the Heat's defense has improved a lot, but there are still holes.

It's just that the Heat suddenly strengthened their defense, and the Timberwolves were a little uncomfortable, so they suffered a disadvantage.

In other words, the Timberwolves underestimated the enemy.

With the coach's reminder, the quasi-all-star Cassel stabilized the rhythm and led the Timberwolves to play steadily.

In a positional battle, Garnett turned around and hit a jumper after mid-range.

Swish!
18: 15.

The Timberwolves finally reopened.

But looking back, Odom assisted an air-cut Jones for a layup.

18: 17.

The Heat do have loopholes.

But the Timberwolves are not perfect.

The point guard Cassell is too old, the bench lineup is too bad, and he relies too much on the personal ability of the three-headed monster.

Wade stared at the veteran Cassell attack.

Respect the old and love the young?
Go special!

Until the last minute, the Timberwolves failed to widen the point difference.

At the last moment, it was Garnett who grabbed consecutive offensive rebounds and assisted Cassel to hit a three-pointer to kill the game.

95: 91.

The Heat swallowed a six-game losing streak and continued to be at the bottom of the league.

The team has never been able to win, and Miami fans naturally don't buy it.

But after this game, the fans saw the future.

韦德本场19分4篮板6助攻，李磊13分4篮板2助攻3抢断2盖帽，哈斯勒姆8分10篮板2盖帽。

When the game ended, the commentary seats were still chatting.

"Kenny, this fellow from Yao Ming is playing pretty well!"

Barkley said by chance while chatting.

Ernie Johnson: "Li...Lei, this name is really difficult to pronounce. Kenny, I heard that you have learned Chinese from Yao Ming. Is there anything special about this name?"

Kenny Smith thought for a while: "I don't know what it means when three stones are put together."

Obviously, Smith is also half-knowledgeable.

……

After the game, Li Lei quickly took a shower and went to the parking lot, but did not leave immediately.

He was waiting for Kyle Cato.

Spo said that Cato had a problem with him, and Li Lei himself realized it.

Before the game, Li Lei wanted to chat with Cato, but Cato refused on the pretext of concentrating on preparing for the game.

Li Lei didn't give up and waited here.

Li Lei doesn't like the cold war, so if you talk about something, it can be resolved, and there is an opinion if it can't be resolved.

What is the Cold War?
It made the whole team uncomfortable and hurt others and themselves.
