After the timeout, the Timberwolves replaced Szczerbiak with Mark Madsen.
Madsen is a relatively mediocre player. Apart from winning two championships with the Lakers in the past few years, his career has no highlights.
He has no personal honors and his scoring is just a few points per game.
It's just that the Timberwolves are really out of people now. The madman feels cold, and Szczerbiak has been beaten by Anthony one after another, which makes Sanders lose patience.
Substituting Madsen, he also thought that he could stabilize it. Regardless of whether the championship is mixed or not, he has seen the big scene of the finals in terms of psychological quality.
Sanders also had no choice.
This time Barry didn't even control the ball, and Anthony took the ball directly to the frontcourt.
Under Wang Chen's arrangement, Anthony controlled the time of this ball.
Wang Chen didn't want the game to go into overtime. The current Nuggets lineup is still a little weaker than the Timberwolves.
And there are too many uncertain factors. What if Anthony's touch in overtime declines? Or what if the madman's touch recovers?
The Nuggets have too few reliable points. If Anthony's touch cools down, the Nuggets will be equivalent to having no super attacking point.
On the contrary, the Timberwolves have three super attacking points. Even if one of them is out of service, there are still two.
My advantage is just to see who has a hot hand, but I can't let anyone increase their ability.
If Sanders hadn't been stubborn and unwilling to give up the madman point at the beginning, it would have been difficult for me to catch up.
The 24-second offensive time passed little by little.
When there were 10 seconds left.
Anthony suddenly moved.
Madson knew that someone was helping him, so he stuck very close to Anthony, leaving Anthony no chance to shoot and forcing Anthony to break through.
Madson's ability is not very good, but he is very determined to execute tactics. He is worthy of being a man who has won two championships.
Anthony didn't dare to choose to shoot under such a high-intensity shooting defense, and the team was at the most critical moment.
Breakthrough.
Since Madson strictly guarded the shooting, there was naturally a flaw in the breakthrough. Anthony easily passed Madson.
But after Anthony broke through Madson, Hassell immediately came over and made a fake help defense.
Nene and Anderson hadn't set up a pick-and-roll yet, but Anthony panicked when he saw Hassell blocking his way.
"Oops."
Wang Chen saw Anthony hesitate and immediately looked at White's state in the open space.
It was neither hot nor cold, without any signs. There was nothing he could do about it. The Nuggets had very few hot shots today.
White had not taken two shots tonight and had not scored a goal so far.
Moreover, Wang Chen found that Hassell had not defended Anthony at all. When Anthony was hesitant to pass the ball, Hassell was actually running back.
Hassel's ball was obviously a fake help defense.
But the authorities were confused, and in a hurry, Anthony obviously couldn't tell the difference between real and fake help defense.
"Cameron, don't worry about how many people are guarding you, you just need to shoot the ball."
At this time, Anthony suddenly remembered what Wang Chen said just now.
Anthony's eyes suddenly became firm.
There were 5 seconds left in the attack time.
Anderson had already come up and made a screen for Anthony.
But Anthony took a step back, followed by Anderson's screen, and shot a jump shot.
Hassell thought that his fake defense had deceived Anthony, and was about to intercept the pass to White.
"Where's the ball?"
Hassell was stunned.
Swish!
At this time, Hassell looked back and made a perfect arc and shot.
Timberwolves 95:97 Nuggets. There was an uproar in the Target Center.
Beep!
Sanders called a timeout with a serious face.
The ball was well defended, and the players strictly followed their own tactics.
Sanders looked at Anthony, then at temporary coach Wang Chen.
"This rookie, and this young coach, how dare they play like this?"
Sanders really couldn't understand why the Nuggets could still play so resolutely even though they were double-teamed like this.
Is this really just a rookie player and a temporary coach?
"Garnett, this round is up to you."
In the last attack, Sanders still handed it over to Garnett.
Garnett and Cassar both scored 26 points today, but Sanders obviously trusted Garnett more.
After the timeout, it was Anderson who defended Garnett.
Anderson was still a little green after all. Although Anderson's blocking ability was very strong, Garnett was not a fool. The fake move ignited Anderson and directly caused Anderson to foul.
Beep!
Although the referee tried not to blow the whistle in the key round, Anderson was sent flying. Such a big move could not be ignored by the referee.
The ball bounced a few times in the basket and went in.
2+1!
The Target Center was full of cheers.
As Garnett made the free throw.
Timberwolves 98:97 Nuggets
Leading by one point!
Only 23 seconds left.
Beep!
In the last round, the referee will not easily call a foul.
In other words, it is difficult for the Nuggets to enter overtime, only win or lose. Have fun reading books on May Day! Top up 100 and get 500 VIP points!
