Don't switch defenses!
Luke Ridnour wants to pass to Love!
But Love has been disturbed by Okafor!
Luke Ridnour just wanted a pick-and-roll shot!
Jeremy Lin squeezed over and reached out to interfere!
There is no room for a shot, the ball is stopped again, and the ball must be passed!
Jeremy Lin quickly posted it, not giving a chance!
Wesley Johnson came over to meet it!
Pass the ball!

However, Bradley saw through!
The ball was hit and rolled to the backcourt!
Bradley speeds up to catch the ball,

Accelerate with the ball!

At this time, Whiteside rushed over and went down!
Bradley passed a base to Whiteside!
Whiteside took the ball and took off directly!
Dunk!

"Wow, this ball is beautiful. I didn't expect Bradley to wear this ball," David Wesley praised.

"Such a pass, Paul can close his eyes," Barkley said immediately.

In his previous life, Barkley liked Paul very much. He once publicly said: "I hope Paul wins the championship. He is one of the best leaders today." Now that Presti has traded Paul, it is no wonder that Barkley has a good impression of the Hornets.

Luke Ridnour holds the ball to the top of the key,

Love continues to come over to cover!
Still not changing defenses!

With the previous experience, this time Luke Ridnour took the ball and walked in!

Jeremy Lin squeezed quickly and came to chase Luke Ridnour from behind!
Luke Ridnour just went past the free throw line!

The ball is taken out!
"This Luke Ridnour made two mistakes in a row, didn't he wake up today?" Barkley couldn't help but said when he saw the Timberwolves made another mistake!
Presti smiled when he saw this. This is one of the reasons why he didn't switch defenses. Although Luke Ridnour is an excellent guard, his breakthrough ability was not very good when he was young.shot!

If he doesn't switch defenses, he will basically lose his shooting space!
He can only choose to walk in, but his speed is too slow, Jeremy Lin's speed can catch up with him!
In other words, no matter whether Luke Ridnor makes a mid-range shot or a breakthrough after the pick-and-roll, he can be defended!
Whiteside got the ball and quickly passed it to Jeremy Lin!
Jeremy Lin sprints with the ball!
Attracting the defense, the ball is divided to Bradley who has already settled on the left!
Chasing the mountain for three points!

Swish!
Hit! 9:0
"I can't believe that the Hornets still have such a strong strength," David Wesley praised.

"The Timberwolves are the bottom one in the Western Conference. Isn't it normal to win?" Barkley retorted.

After a few minutes, the game continued!
Love needs a position in the low position, and he wants to focus on the inside!Open the scoring drought first!
Love takes the ball and hits Okafor with his back!
Hit it once, hit it twice!
Although Okafor was pushed back, it was not easy for Love!

At this time, Love weighed 260 pounds, while Okafor weighed 255 pounds!
Love hooks!

Okafor blocks with both arms!
Miss!

Le Fu grabs again!

Make up again!

hit!

This is the reason for Okafor. Although the ball was not defended, Love averaged 4 or 5 offensive boards per game at this time, which is very scary!
The twin towers of Whiteside and Okafor can protect the Hornets' backcourt rebounds!

Jeremy Lin went to the top of the arc to face Luke Ridnour, passed it with one step, and went to the basket!
Whiteside's Darko Milicic
Love wants to come over to defend!

But the speed can't keep up!

Easy hit!

Beasley gets the ball to face Paul George!

Lean on, turn over and lean back!

hit!

In turn, Paul George made consecutive crossovers!

Swipe and hit a three-pointer!

The Timberwolves' talent has always been good, but the record has not been able to improve. The reason is that the players in the middle are too poor in defense!

At this time, Le Fu's lateral movement speed is slow, and the defense is slow!
Luke Ridnour didn't defend!
Beasley's famous defensive colander is not correct in attitude.

That is, Wesley Johnson is okay, but one person cannot save the Timberwolves' defense. Wesley John's defense is not enough to support a team!

Love's low-post singles here, missed!
Fight rebounds!
Whiteside grabbed it!
Continue to distribute to George who is going down on the right!
George takes the ball and sprints to the basket
Dunk in the air!

The Hornets' tactic for fighting the Timberwolves is to run!

At the end of the first quarter, the Hornets have already led by 7 points!
In the second quarter, Presti replaced the second team headed by Gordon and David West!

The Timberwolves replaced Ellington, Tolliver, Pekovic and Jonny Flynn, and Love did not leave!
Originally hoped to recover the points, but Gordon's breakthroughs directly made them desperate!
Coming to the first game of the Hornets, plus what Presti said to Gordon yesterday, it broke out directly today!
First, he breaks through to the inside line, Le Fu's defense slows down, and the thug fouls!
Cause 2+1!

Then David West attracted double-teams and assisted Gordon to hit a three-pointer!

Pekovic missed a three-pointer!

Gordon ate the ball one-stop, and hit a three-pointer at the top of the arc!
The second quarter became Gordon's exhibition game, shooting from inside and outside, scoring 17 points in a single quarter!
The Hornets ended the first half with a 16-point lead!

"Is this Eric Gordon so good? I didn't pay much attention during the Clippers period." David Wesley was surprised!
"That's because you didn't watch the Clippers' game, and everyone's attention was on the Lakers!" Barkley said, in fact, he was also surprised, Gordon was never so good before!Does this Presti really have a bonus for defenders?
The Hornets fans at the scene were very happy to see Gordon's performance. Although he didn't compare with Paul, he was obviously better than the team's starting shooting guard!

At this time, Olshey, who was watching the game, was also stunned. This Gordon was not so good when he was in the Clippers!
Although he was able to score 22.3 points, everything else was average. This performance almost became the Thunder's Westbrook!

At the beginning of the second half, Presti was not in a hurry to bring back the starter, but let Gordon, who was feeling explosive, continue to lead the team!

And Gordon did not disappoint Presti!
Gordon with the ball continued to break through the inside, attracting double-teams!

Give the ball to Belinelli!

Three-point shot!

Keep hitting!

And in another round, the Timberwolves did not double-team!

Gordon speeds up and goes straight to the inside!

Take off and dunk!

The Timberwolves continue to suspend!
After the game came back, the Timberwolves replaced the starting lineup, and Presti's guard configuration was Gordon and Bradley!

After one came back, Beasley succeeded in singles!
But in turn, Gordon went inside and caused another foul!
Love's three-point advantage did not play any role in this game, and Okafor followed him all the way!

And the low back hit, the hook is not bad,

But once it fails, it will be the transformation attack of the Hornets!
The Hornets ran, and the Timberwolves could only stare blankly!
At the end of the third quarter, the Hornets had led the Timberwolves by 22 points!
The game enters Garbage Time!

In the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves continued to keep the starters on the field, but the point difference was too large. In addition, Presti's tactics in the fourth quarter were time-pressing, which caused the Timberwolves to score very slowly.

The final score was fixed at 123:112!

The Hornets beat the Timberwolves at home!
Presti used the results of the game to tell the "experts" who analyzed before the game that your method doesn't work for the Hornets!
