The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 173 Take down Timberwolves

"****, this guy fouled, why don't you blow it." Marbury's expression now wants to tear up the referee. Fortunately, the referee is not Crawford. If it is that person, he will fly you directly, and there will be no unnecessary nonsense. Before the referee did not have the "zero tolerance" rule, Crawford was still the leader among referees in the league.

This guy is so unscrupulous, it must be directly related to the acquiescence of Godfather Si, and even Xiao Tian wondered for countless times, whether he dedicated his body to Godfather Si, or else, why would Godfather Si praise him so much? This is unscientific, really unscientific.

Marbury was dragged by other teammates, and the referee didn't call him a foul. He was really a good guy. In the Timberwolves' offensive round, Garnett and Duncan faced off again. At present, there are almost no post skills. All his current scoring is face-up, and he will only use it when facing a misplaced defense in the low post.

Duncan is the opposite of him. Since he insists on not being low, he can play low. In the second quarter, Duncan forced Garnett in a low position.

Tom Gugliotta is very upset. This season is the most aggrieved season since he played. Because of Garnett's growth, his position as the leader of the team has been greatly impacted.If it was the previous seasons, Sanders would never do this, but now he has become a thing of the past.

Larry Bird's successor is off the field, and Parks who comes up has no major shortcomings except for a slower movement speed. This gives Harder more energy to fight Duncan in the paint.

The protagonists of this game seem to be Duncan and Garnett, while Xiao Tian and Marbury have become spectators. Xiao Tian is not unhappy, anyway, Duncan's scoring efficiency is not low, and he is very happy to collect assists. He can play dead in the regular season, and the playoffs are his stage. As for the mvp, let it be.

At halftime, Duncan scored 20 points, and Garnett scored 17 points against him, but the Timberwolves trailed by 12 points in the away game. The scene seemed to be the same as the previous game in Portland.

Xiao Tian scored 7 points and 10 assists in the half, while Marbury only had 10 points and no assists. He had a hard time playing this game, because Garnett always habitually dribbled when he received his pass. This directly led to his assists becoming indirect.

The atmosphere in the locker room of the away game is very dull. The rise of the Grizzlies last season has become the main problem for all the teams in the West. Among them, the Lakers and Timberwolves are the most frustrated, because the background of these two teams is very mediocre in the current West.

For the first time this season, the Timberwolves wanted to give the Grizzlies a bad start, but what they didn't expect was that the first to attack would be the Grizzlies.

At the start of the second half, the two sides were still on the bench first. In order to appease Tom Gugliotta, the successor of Larry Bird, Sanders asked him to play with the bench. As a result, the guy returned to the coach with two turnovers. Wu Sheng staged a one-stop dunk. At this time, the score was not only not close, but was developing to a larger point difference.

Garnett couldn't take it anymore. He chose to play. After playing, Garnett calmed down. He was no longer obsessed with one-on-one with Duncan, but used his skills to connect the team. He really woke up in the third quarter. Isn't it too late for the Timberwolves?

Facing Marbury in the third quarter, Xiao Tian hit three-pointers in front of the opponent twice in a row, making Garnett's series come to naught. Marbury was beaten into a rage, and he was eager to find a place in front of Xiao Tian. He kept using his body to break through Xiao Tian, ​​but compared to him, Xiao Tian's physical energy consumption was very little.

In this wave of offensive climax, Tom Gugliotta is sitting off the court, which is a very slap in the face.Boss seems to be a noun.

In the fourth quarter, Xiao Tian brought a substitute to fight against the Timberwolves. Duncan was affected by his physical strength, and Garnett was the same, but Duncan still had himself on the court. Who did Garnett count on? Sanders knew this very well, so Garnett had been on the court since the second half of the third quarter.

At this time, Garnett had already surpassed Duncan in scoring, but the team's backward situation still hadn't been reversed, because every time it came to the critical moment of chasing points, Xiao Tian would stand up and pour cold water on the Timberwolves.

In this game, the Timberwolves players, except Tom Gugliotta, everyone tried their best to play, but the gap in strength cannot be resolved by hard work. In the end, the Timberwolves still lost the game by 5 points in the away game. Xiao Tian scored 20 points and 15 assists, and Duncan also scored 23 points and 12 rebounds. For the Timberwolves, Garnett scored 28 points and 10 rebounds, Marbury 15 points and 4 assists, Parks 10 points, and others People's scores are not in double figures.

In this game, the Timberwolves lost at the No. 25 position. The Timberwolves had only 15 assists in total, while Xiao Tian alone had [-]. So it was not a surprise that they lost in the end. It wasn’t that Marbury handled the ball poorly, but that the Timberwolves liked sticking the ball too much.

After winning the Timberwolves, the Grizzlies won another five consecutive victories, and sat firmly in the No. [-] position in the Western Conference.
