Chapter 176 The highest realm of fake action
When he came back from the third quarter, Anthony, who had regained his touch, continued his firepower on the offensive end. He first pulled out his hand from mid-range, then received a pass from Bibi, and converted the offense and made a three-pointer.
The digging team quickly overturned the score.
Seeing this, Li Rong immediately returned to his face.
First, he used Jefferson's cover to shoot a big two-pointer that stepped on the three-point line, and then assisted Billups from outside the three-point line to make an outside shot, taking the advantage of the score back.
The two teams played in this quarter as TNT said, and the game was extremely stalemate.
Nene served Bibi at the bottom line, and Bibi used a pick-and-roll assist to Kenyon Martin and made a dunk.
Looking back, Billups successfully played Bibi on his back.
It seems that not only Li Rong and Anthony feel hot, but other players are gradually getting back to their form.
After the third quarter, the two teams tied 68-68.
"The strength of these two teams is too close," said Barkley. "Merro scored 12 points in this quarter again in a single quarter. Li Rong's score was slightly lower and he also scored 10 points. Both of them have reached the 30th mark at present. It's a wonderful showdown."
"I wonder which team you think will win?" Kenny Smith asked.
"I think the Nuggets have a better chance," Barkley said with a counting fingers. "They are playing at home after all, and Mero has already opened fire now. If they really play to the end, the home team will obviously have some advantages."
"I support the Timberwolves," Miller also said his reasons. "Their star quality is higher, Li Rong and Mero are equally good, but Jefferson and Billups are obviously better than Nene and Bibby."
"It was obviously a very wise decision for the Timberwolves to introduce Billups. He has averaged more than 19 points this season, the highest average in his career."
"And his scoring data has been affected by the poor touch of the previous few games. In recent games, Billups scored more than 20 points in each game. If this momentum continues, Chauncey will likely score his first 20 season of his career this year."
After Li Rong took over the responsibility of the ball rights organization, he completely released Billups' offensive firepower.
Moreover, McHale is different from Whitman. He is a relatively flexible head coach. As long as there is a scoring opportunity, he will encourage players to take action bravely.
The Timberwolves now have no fixed style of playing on the court. They can be fast or slow, they can hit positions and fast attacks.
Billups' three-pointers in the fast break were unbearable for most coaches in the league, but McHale was very supportive.
He does not have much coaching experience, but data shows that Billups' offensive method has a very high success rate, and his scoring efficiency is even higher than positional offense.
Of course, the risks are also very high.
If this kind of long-distance quick shot is not hit, it will be a long rebound, and it is easy for the opponent to seize the opportunity to fight back.
Under McHale's training, the Timberwolves have become a team without fixed routines and no fixed play style, which has a bit of the meaning of Feng Qingyang Dugu Nine Swords.
To put it nicely, it is flexible and changeable, but to put it badly, it is X**D.
As soon as the fourth quarter began, Li Rong and Anthony sat down on the court to rest temporarily.
Billups led the team's rotation lineup to continue fighting against the opponent.
The difference between the two teams is clearly felt.
Although the substitute lineup of the digger team is also very luxurious, there is no star of Billups at the level of the level.
Three minutes into the start, Billups led the substitute lineup to rebuild a 5-point lead.
This is the advantage of the Big Three. You can completely put a star in the rotation lineup.
This star is naturally the absolute strength on the field.
After seeing this, the excavator team immediately changed back to the starting lineup after seeing the timeout.
The Timberwolves replaced Billups and temporarily played with Tyron Lu and the starting lineup.
After two quarters of fighting, Li Rong and Anthony were both a little tired.
The two teams also tacitly put the attack focus on the inside for the moment.
Jefferson didn't feel very good in the first three quarters, only made 4 of 10 shots.
As soon as he came back in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves gave him almost all the ball rights.
Jefferson is still comfortable this season. Not only does Li Rong feed him the ball in the team lineup, but Billups is also a passer master.
Even Tyron Lu, who is substitute, has much better passing skills than Tyrfell and Fyer last season.
The Nuggets' main defense against him in this game was Kenyon Martin, and the restrictions in the first three quarters were very good.
However, once Jefferson's low-post offensive killer is found, let alone Martin, even a low-post defensive expert like Duncan and Yao Ming can do nothing.
Jefferson exploded as soon as he came up, forcibly hitting a one-handed throw against Martin's defensive basket.
The Nuggets' inside offense quality is also very high. Nene made a fake shot and shook Jordan Jr. and rushed into the inside and made a one-handed dunk.
In the next round, Jefferson attracted two people to double-team in the inside and passed the ball to Li Rong.
Li Rong got the ball and broke inward, passing Jefferson again.
Jefferson, who ran out of the inside, made a shot from the middle distance.
After one offseason, Jefferson's mid-range shooting percentage increased.
Although it is still not very reliable, it is already a bit threatening. If the opponent is not careful, he may suffer a loss.
The Nuggets still assisted Nene in the inside, and the fake moves of Jordan last round have added a lot of confidence to him.
This round I got the ball in the inside, and Nene made another fake shot after jumping.
Seeing this, Jordan jumped up again without control.
As soon as they danced together, they immediately regretted it. He already knew that he was fooled.
You can only foul the Nei when you are falling.
A common problem for men with physical fitness is that they always like to show off their bounce ability and always want to block the opponent on the defensive end, which is easy to get fake moves.
Nene made two free throws at the free throw line and said to Jordan Jr. "Rookie, welcome to the NBA."
Pretending to behave easily can be retribution.
Li Rong avenged his younger brother. He used the pick-and-roll to break into the Nuggets' penalty area.
The same jump action hit Nene who assisted defense.
While scoring the ball, it also caused the opponent's foul.
This fake move is almost exactly the same as Nene's foul action at the basket in the last round.
After scoring the goal, Li Rong glanced at the inner side.
The meaning of ridicule is very obvious. Don’t you like to commit fouls, so that you can also taste the taste of being fooled.
Nene had no temper at all when he was mocked Li Rong's eyes.
Li Rong has too many attack methods. If he doesn't take off, he will likely directly attack the basket.
