Add one, I'm not very good at fighting

But the role of Hard Special on the defensive end today cannot be reflected by simple statistics.

He blocked Li Ang several times today, preventing Li Ang from rushing to the frame.

And if Li Ang passes the ball, Garnett can use his abnormal defensive range to block the bullet hole in the first place.

You can tell by looking at the score, this game is not a confrontational battle.The Timberwolves can win because they are better defensively.

Garnett's interference with Jermaine O'Neal and the key block to Li Ang at the last moment of the game can be said to be a small microcosm of the game.

Peak KG, really strong!

The locker room after the game was very quiet. Losing a home game as soon as the second round of the series came up was undoubtedly a blow to morale.

Li Ang also blamed himself very much, if he didn't get caught in the end, if the drift shot could be made...

At the press conference after the game, Li Ang also experienced what it means to be pushed against the wall by everyone.

When they abused Anthony before, the reporters yelled at Li Ge and Liu Beep, Li Ge was mighty, and Li Ge was a pillar of the sky!

It's all right now, and I'm starting to ask Li Ang some weird questions.

"Li, does it mean that you can't beat the Timberwolves without relying on three-pointers? As we all know, you beat the Timberwolves twice in the regular season because of your accurate three-pointers.

For the first time, you make the game from beyond the three-point line.

The second time, Nash and Johnson exploded beyond the three-point line.

Is it that as long as you leave three points, you can't beat the Timberwolves at all? "

The translation of this reporter's words means that the Suns' victory over the Timberwolves depends on luck.

If it weren't for luck and scoring so many three-pointers, it would be impossible for the Timberwolves to lose.

Some people also asked Leon how likely he thinks the MVP will be given to Garnett.

Although the matter of the playoffs has nothing to do with the selection of the MVP of the regular season, the reporters will still use this matter to make a lot of fun.

But having said that, as an MVP candidate, if you can't defeat your direct competitor in the playoffs, it will be very embarrassing.

Although the MVP is the MVP of the regular season, it only depends on the performance of the regular season.

But a season is always a whole, and awards can be judged separately, but fans will not look at them separately.

You can see that Nowitzki won the MVP but was hacked in the playoffs. After that, few Dirk fans were willing to mention this MVP.

Because this MVP brings more humiliation than honor to Dirk.

If Li Ang lost to Garnett in the playoffs, no one would be convinced even if he won the MVP in the end.

Li Ang casually answered the reporters' questions, then left immediately.

The next day, many people began to speak ill of the Suns' prospects.

This is normal, because the Timberwolves' recent performance is really good.

The tiebreaker had just finished beating the Kings, and after only one day of rest, they immediately flew to Arizona to play the Suns.

The key is to win.

The state of the Timberwolves is indeed breathtaking.

Kenny Smith even proudly teased Barkley in the evening program: "It seems that in a few days, we will see a fat pig without pants in the studio!"

Barkley was furious, but he couldn't refute.

The Timberwolves have been gaining momentum recently. Many people think that they can not only beat the Suns, but even compete for the championship.

And when the outside world is bad-mouthing the Suns, at night, the Suns' training ground is still brightly lit.

"I knew you must have left."

Tomjanovich was standing at the entrance of the training hall. Li Ang, who was dripping with sweat, stopped what he was doing when he heard the voice.

"Why haven't you gone back yet?" Li Ang asked the master at the entrance of the training hall.

"You forgot, I'm going to stay for physical therapy today. There's nothing to do after the physical therapy. I thought about it and came to have a look, only to find that the lights in the training hall were not turned off."

The master smiled. He was thinking that if Li Ang continued to be so depressed, he would find a way to cook a bowl of chicken soup for Li Ang tomorrow.

After all, since losing the game, Li Ang's state has been relatively depressed.

As a result, Li Ang did not sit still, but was preparing for the next match.

Seeing that Li Ang was practicing corner three-pointers, Master Tang smiled from ear to ear.

Three points from the bottom corner, this is the key to the decisive victory between the Suns and Timberwolves tomorrow!

"Don't practice, save your physical strength until tomorrow."

"Well, I'm planning to leave too. Wait for me, and I'll take you home."

After Li Ang finished speaking, he turned and prepared to walk to the dressing room.

But just a few steps away, Master Tang stopped Li Ang.

"plum."

"Ok?"

"I know that you may be worried about the outcome of the game. I also know that you are a little worried about our tactical strategy tomorrow and that you will not be able to execute it well. But... believe in yourself, the current you have already Beyond the past!

In my opinion, you are a better player than KG! "

After finishing speaking, Li Ang clenched his fists and nodded.

Letting the Timberwolves back to Minneapolis with a 2-0 lead means what Leon knows.

Therefore, he must not let this kind of thing happen, and must not lose again.

On the surface, the series has only played one game, and it has just begun.

But in fact, this is already a last stand!

The next day, Suns fans flooded the arena in orange jerseys.

Although they regretted losing the last game, the fans are still full of confidence in the team.

They believe that Li Ang just took a nap, he is not Marbury, he can't give up Phoenix City!

Lao Ma: I don't know Li Ang at all, so don't just mention me if you have anything to do!

It is normal for Lao Ma to have diarrhea in the playoffs. After all, he is the only one who can have diarrhea with Li Ang.

But Li Ang is different. He has a good stomach and can eat any kind of fruit, so he definitely won't play two games in a row.

The Suns' home court momentum is like a rainbow, but the Timberwolves are not intimidated by the warm home atmosphere.

The victory in the last game made the Timberwolves extremely confident.

Even hard, he felt that he was really hard.

Li Ang was right, the Timberwolves evolved after seven games against the Kings.

Although their physical energy is not as abundant as that of the sun, their anger is full.

When Hardt was warming up, he also excitedly showed off two windmill dunks.

He thought to himself, the Suns fans must have been bluffed by me, right?

However, the hearts of Suns fans are actually calm.

When it comes to big windmills, Li Ang and Duncan are basically the ceiling.

It's a bit self-deprecating for Hardt to perform a dunk on Li Ang's territory.

It's like, a boy who is three centimeters, keeps asking the girlfriend he just made, is the baby comfortable, and I'm old.

You questioned him, and he replied: "I was originally 18 centimeters, but today I am 18 and minus 15 on Super Thursday."

Garnett is like that 3cm person. It's not your fault that he's short, but it's a bit shameless to show it off.

Soon, the Suns players came out.

Although they lost the last game, it seems that the players are still in high spirits.

Can you not cheer up?In the locker room just now, Li Ang took out his big wrench and told everyone:

"Who doesn't play hard today, you can decide for yourself. Oh, you don't have to care about the wrench. I'm just a decoration that I carry with me. You don't have to be afraid."

After this wave of convincing people with virtue, who is not full of energy?

After a brief warm-up, both sides took their starting positions and were ready to start the game.

Hardt was a little nervous in the last game, so he didn't talk trash for the whole game, but he was suffocated.

So when I came up today, Hardt couldn't hold back.

As a heavy trash talker, he had to say a few words at this juncture before the start of the game.

So, Hardt came to Li Ang's side: "Li, you will be as desperate as a sheep."

Li Ang didn't even look at Garnett, just smiled: "I really envy you Kevin, if you can win this season's MVP game, I won't have this life, after all, I can't beat myself."

"You..." Garnett thought that Leon had been tamed, but he was still so rebellious.

He also put the MVP on his face, bah, disgusting!

Although you won 68 times, although you are No.1 in the MVP ranking, although your probability of winning the MVP is the greatest.

but......

Anyway, it's disgusting!

The starting lineup for the Timberwolves is the same as the previous game, Cassell, Sprewell, Trenton Hassel, Garnett and Olowokandi.

The Timberwolves basically use only 8 people in the playoffs, with a guard, a forward and a center each on the bench.

Because of this, the Timberwolves can maintain firepower no matter what time it is.

Jermaine O'Neal won the first attack from Olowokandi, and Garnett stared at Li Ang, ready to help defend the pincer at any time.

In the last game, the Timberwolves pinched Li Ang to a very good effect.Li Ang was not allowed to burst points, nor was Li Ang allowed to revitalize the team.

Facts have proved that as long as the oppression is strong enough, few men can stand it.

But this time, when the Suns started their offense, Garnett couldn't read it.

Damn... why is Sun's position and movement different from the previous game?

As soon as the sun came up, Li Ang and Johnson stood at the bottom corners on both sides.

Nash personally controlled the ball and pushed it beyond the three-point line, and then Stoudemire and Jermaine both stepped up to screen for Nash.

The Timberwolves players were stunned, and even Timberwolves coach Philip Saunders frowned.

The Suns have never used such an offensive tactic before!

Master Tang smiled slightly, that's right, after losing the first game, Master Tang decided to let the V-shaped attack suggested by D'Antoni come to the fore!

When D'Antoni coached Benetton Treviso in Europe, he won the European Cup in 95 and the Serie A championship in 97 by relying on the V-shaped attack.

But this tactic has not been promoted in the NBA.

D'Antoni proposed this tactic before the start of the season, but because Li Ang was not capable of three-pointers at the time, and there was one shooter missing from the bottom corner, Master Tang has been useless.

However, Master Tang did not give up the possibility of V-shaped attack.

Because the Suns' lineup is really suitable for V-shaped offense.

A point guard full of intelligence and shooting ability, two small forwards and shooting guards who can shoot three-pointers and singles, and two insiders with strong athletic ability who can eat cakes along the pick-and-roll and can shoot from the outside.

The Suns almost meet all the conditions!

That's why he let Li Ang practice three-pointers this season.

Unexpectedly, Li Ang's three-pointer really came out.

Therefore, since the All-Star Game, the Suns have been practicing V-shaped offense internally.

Usually in the game, I use it occasionally, but I don't use it frequently, and the opponents don't care.

In fact, the generals of the Suns now have a fairly deep understanding of the V-shaped offense.

Just haven't had a chance to perform yet.

And now, the opportunity has come!

The Timberwolves' defense in the last game made the Suns very embarrassed.Therefore, Master Tang decided to change his style of play and broke the wolf king's net.
