Chapter 347 Inside Explosion
If Le Fu still held the idea of ​​competing with his seniors in the same position at the beginning, he has completely dispelled this idea now.He has to admit that Nowitzki is really a bug in the fourth position. You say you are 2 meters tall, but you still have a precise shot. How does this make an opponent who is a head shorter than you to defend?

Many sunspots say that Nowitzki is a soft guy who dare not go to the basket to fight, and can only shoot outside, but who stipulates that big players must fight inside?Nowitzki's ability to kill opponents with shots is his ability, can you still not let him shoot?What's more, his shooting position is too high to reach, and it is very difficult to block shots. Under such circumstances, of course he will choose to use shooting to kill the opponent. Anyway, you can't prevent him, so you can only watch him score.

Xu Hao couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for Love. He had already seen Nowitzki's abnormality in the system's virtual game, so he felt that the head coach's request for defending Nowitzki was very difficult. achieved.Sure enough, now Love was directly beaten to the ground during the matchup with Nowitzki, and he was almost powerless to fight back.

McHale on the sidelines was worried to death. He didn't expect that the two big insiders under his command had no way to deal with Nowitzki. Just halfway through the first quarter, the opponent scored 12 points.Coupled with the constant pressure from Kidd and Stevenson on the outside, the Timberwolves' outside offense was also frequently blocked, and the point difference between the two sides quickly widened to 8 points.

McHale quickly called a timeout, but there was really nothing he could do.If he were in his playing days, he might be able to compete with Nowitzki. However, it seems that there is really no such player in the Timberwolves' roster.Even Love and DeAndre Jordan, the two strongest insiders on the team, couldn't get through one round in front of him. Who else could top him?

Suddenly his eyes fixed on a big man, who was the team's main inside substitute Milicic last season.In order to give the young Pekovic more time to exercise this year, his playing opportunities have been greatly reduced, making it impossible for McHale to remember that he is still on the roster.Thinking about it now, Milicic's presence might have worked.

He is also a typical European insider, his height is exactly the same as Nowitzki, and he also swings in the fourth and fifth positions.Although it may be difficult for Milicic to score, it seems that it is not impossible to entangle Nowitzki!

McHale did what he said, replacing Love with Milicic, and asked him to play against Nowitzki.Milicic and Nowitzki are also considered old rivals. They have fought many times in the European arena and are familiar with each other.To some extent, using Milicic to defend Nowitzki is indeed a good move, it depends on whether he can move.

The game restarted, and Milicic did cause trouble for Nowitzki.His footwork around the basket is also good, and he dares to engage in physical confrontation, and his style just restrains Nowitzki to a certain extent.But Nowitzki quickly found a way. He changed from shooting with the ball to catching and shooting, and threw off Milicic's strict defense through running positions.

Naturally, Kidd was the one delivering shells to Nowitzki. McHale originally hoped that Xu Hao could restrain the old guy, but Xu Hao soon discovered that he really had nothing to do with Kidd.Being able to prevent Kidd from scoring is already his upper limit. Cutting off Kidd's passing route?Xu Hao said that he may need a few more years to slowly polish it.

在基德的帮助下，诺维茨基完全打爆了森林狼的内线。首节他休息了最后2分钟，但也在10分钟的出场时间里砍下了17分和3个篮板，小牛也以39比32取得领先。

During the break, several insiders of the Timberwolves looked as if they had eaten bitter melon. They faced Nowitzki like a child who couldn't play at all.No matter what method they use, it is difficult to prevent the German from hitting the shot. The most terrifying thing is that his shooting percentage did not show a significant decline throughout the first quarter, which is very scary.

Xu Hao asked Milicic in a low voice: "Is Dirk really difficult to defend? You seem to have nothing to do with him..."

Milicic nodded helplessly: "This guy is a pervert. Although he seldom hits the basket, he can solve the problem with shooting. Don't look at me. I'm about the same height as him, and I can bounce well. I really can't cover him. shot."

The rest time passed quickly, and McHale still didn't think of any useful solutions, but he could only dryly encourage everyone to do their best on the court.This is obviously useless. The final result is that the second quarter has become a replica of the first quarter. Nowitzki continued to overwhelm the inside and scored 30+ at the end of the half. The lead extended to double digits.This makes every Timberwolves player very helpless, because they can't stop the opponent from scoring!

Seeing the helpless faces of the players, McHale really had nothing to say. He felt that his pre-match arrangements were completely fine, but he didn't expect to be pressed to the ground by the Mavericks and rubbed hard.He knew very well that if the team was allowed to attack from the inside, the result would probably be even more tragic. The Timberwolves' inside line had no advantage at all. Wouldn't it be abusive to let them play singles?
But having said that, it seems that Nowitzki's defense is not very good, can he consider making more shots from the inside?If Love can give full play to his scoring ability, wouldn't that be equivalent to exchanging Nowitzki?
So McHale pulled Love aside and said in a low voice: "It can be said that it was your problem that you couldn't defend Nowitzki in the first half, but now I will give you a chance to make up for it. If you do well, we will win this game There is still hope of winning.”

Le Fu's eyes lit up: "No problem, I believe I can do it, please assign tasks!"

McHale nodded approvingly, and said: "In the second half, you need to shoot more inside shots, try to hit Dirk Nowitzki's shooting percentage, and help your teammates relieve pressure. If you can do it, then it will be a trade-off. The points you lose on the defensive end can be made up on the offensive end. If there is no problem, I will let Chris pass the ball to you."

After Le Fu's expression changed several times in a row, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said loudly, "I promise to complete the task!"

McHale patted him on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.Just like what he said, as long as Love can also perform well in the paint, the Timberwolves will be saved, and they will not be beaten by the opponent.
