NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 74 Technical Foul

The Timberwolves changed their starters in the second half, and Olowokandi, who was not desperate enough, was given up.

Philip Sanders regretted his initial choice. If Olowokandi hadn't been blown up at the start, making Stoudemire arrogant, the Timberwolves might be leading now.

But following the spatial fourth position, Marion still couldn't handle this.

The Timberwolves made research and arrangements for the midfield, but found that there is still a big gap between the ideal and the reality. Marion's three-pointer is also accurate, and there is no way to defend it.

Russell's pass added too much to the Suns players, and the Timberwolves wanted to get Russell down.

However, although Russell talked about the old guy, he was actually not irritated at all.

Cassell's ball-protecting offense, Russell will not foul, and who cares about back hits.

The so-called old legs get old first, Cassel's speed is much slower than when he was young, and he has not made many breakthroughs. It is really impossible to spend more on Russell.

"Gentlemen, this is Target Center and we need to do better."

"Running, the goddess of victory will favor the more active side."

Philip Sanders keeps reminding the team that he is also under a lot of pressure now. Although he has coached the team for many seasons, the success of last season has given the team hope. No one can accept the gap.

Relatively speaking, the Suns have less defensive pressure.

The Timberwolves also play pick-and-roll, but Garnett touches the ball a lot as the core. They have too few routines to pass the ball as quickly as the Suns, and it is not that difficult to defend.

Defending the Suns, the player's attention cannot be relaxed for a moment.

Otherwise, the defensive players will find out in the next moment that the Suns' team suddenly cuts in, or goes to a position with a three-point opportunity, and Russell's pass will always be sent just right.

Concentrating every minute and every second is more difficult than physical exertion.

Of course, what is more difficult for the Timberwolves is the offensive end.

Garnett is in good shape, and Marion often assists in the defense. If Garnett cannot handle the ball more decisively, he will be easily missed by Marion's defense. Marion's long arms and defensive experience are not blocked. of.

It is difficult for Garnett to get the support of his teammates from the three-point line. The Timberwolves do not resist shooting three-pointers, but the three-pointers are relatively poor, that is, Sczerbiak is used to catching and shooting, and others are not good enough in opening up space.

This caused the defensive end to be targeted by the Suns. In the second half of the third quarter, the Timberwolves played worse and worse.

By the time Garnett was off the court, the Suns had a double-digit lead.

The score continued to expand, and Garnett had to rest for just over a minute before coming up again.

In these tens of seconds, the Suns led by 6 points.

Garnett was going crazy. He was spitting on the children desperately on the court. It would be embarrassing if he was killed by the sun.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves immediately became different after he came up, and Szczerbiak gave him support from the outside.

In anger, Garnett didn't lose his touch, and he even tried a three-pointer.

Although he didn't make a hit, his long two-pointer is like installing a navigation system, no matter how he shoots.

Stoudemire was extremely upset because he was not so accurate against Garnett before.

It's not unreal that he has Russell to help him on the offensive end, but he is completely blown up on the rebound.

With Garnett, Marion's rebounding efficiency also dropped, Garnett is too strong.

The outside world said that Garnett has entered the ranks of superstars. It is not just talking about it. This buddy has really entered the most professional and peak.

And it's shameless enough, it's fine to spray Stoudemire, even a rookie like Varejao can still spray it.

This kind of person's good condition really makes the defensive players uncomfortable, and they have to listen to the opponent's beep if they can't prevent it.

Stoudemire was so annoying that he moved too much in defense and was called a technical foul for cursing.

Sending the opponent free throws for nothing, Szczerbiak made it overnight.

"We're ahead, man," Russell reminded.

"Of course, they can't beat us, and I will teach them a lesson," Stoudemire snorted.

Stoudemire is usually a little godlike, and Russell didn't think much about it.

D'Antoni didn't realize that his mood was really wrong. As a result, he was fouled by Sprewell's big move during the offense, and Stoudemire directly took the ball and smashed it at the opponent.

Russell didn't even have time to block. When the conflict started, the referees each hit [-] rebounds and technical fouls one by one.

But Stoudemire just got a technical foul just now, and this time he was sent off directly.

At this time, the final quarter was just over halfway, and the Timberwolves had the momentum to chase points. The team's leading scorer was sent off, which was a very dangerous signal for the Suns.

Russell was a little speechless, but there was nothing he could do about it, what he had to do was lead the team to win the game.

He can play well with Stoudemire, but with Varejao, he can also make the opponent succeed.

Stoudemire went down, and Garnett immediately hit a hot-blooded jumper.

He roared, as if he had completed a dunk.

Now the Timberwolves are still behind, but without Stoudemire, they have great hope of reversing.

Because they don't need to defend the inside anymore, as long as the Suns' three-pointers are strangled, the Suns may come to a standstill on the offensive end.

In fact, the Timberwolves were thinking too much. Without Stoudemire, the Suns' offense would definitely be affected, but it was impossible to come to a standstill. Even if Russell didn't score, it would be fine.

He then made a second pass similar to a curve ball, and stuffed the basketball into the hands of Varejao who was about to go down to the bottom of the blue. Varejao would not let this opportunity go, and scored two points steadily.

No matter how loud Garnett's roar is, it will cost two points, which is no different from Varejao's pie-eating.

As a result, Garnett and Varejao sprayed each other again.

The performance of the rookie who has played in the professional league is still different. While Varejao spouted viciously, he also made small moves, entangled with Garnett.

If it weren't for his little reputation and being easily fouled by the referee, Garnett would also be annoyed to death.

Varejao used to fuck Garnett when he came up, and it's still the same when he comes up now, and he ate two cakes in a row.

The Timberwolves don't dare to underestimate Varejao now, the key is to put a dog inside, Russell can even feed the ball, and the people inside just need to open their mouths.

The Timberwolves once again focused more on defending Russell's pass, but Russell made a three-pointer with a sudden shot at this time.

Russell didn't take a three-pointer the whole game before, and Cassell didn't react at all. He could only watch the basketball fly in the air and fall into the basket.

Garnett just broke out and chased the score to only 6 points, and now he is rushing to double digits again.

The Timberwolves players were a little desperate, why wasn't Russell sent out.
