Chapter 178 Unlimited Trust

"Why didn't the Timberwolves replace Jordan Jr?" Barkley felt extremely funny about Jordan Jr. avoiding the foul just now, and at the same time, a question arose in his heart.

The Nuggets' tactical intention is so obvious that they want to send Jordan, who is inaccurate in free throws to the free throw line.

I'm afraid even the blind man can see this, why is McHale still indifferent to everything he has lived on the field?

According to the rules, in the last two minutes of the game, you cannot foul the players without the ball, otherwise you will be both free throws.

The Timberwolves can temporarily replace Jordan and replace him in a minute.

Could it be that McHale can’t even understand such a principle?

"I guess I don't want to hurt the players' self-confidence." Kenny Smith guessed McHale's thoughts.

"But looking at Jordan Jordan's appearance on the court, I'm afraid he's no longer confident now." Miller said.

Jordan Jr. made no free throws on the free throw line this time, and he only made one of his six free throws in the last six free throws, and his shooting percentage was even worse than usual.

The Nuggets' "shark-cutting tactic" was a great success.

Anthony then scored two points for the Nuggets again, helping the team tie the score.

Seeing Jordan Jr.'s performance at the free throw line was so bad, McHale on the sidelines finally made up his mind to replace Jordan Jr. for the time being.

All the Timberwolves players on the court were relieved to see this, including Jordan Jr.

When the scene ended, Jordan looked a little depressed, lowered his head and sat on the bench without saying a word, not daring to look at others at all.

The team was clearly ahead of the opponent just now, but because of his poor free throw, the opponent tied the gap.

He has to take the blame.

McHale didn't say anything about Jordan Jr.'s performance.

He was a little bit self-blame and was indeed a bit slow to substitute. Now it seems that keeping Jordan on the court not only did not have a good effect, but instead hit his confidence.

"McHale's substitution obviously admitted that he had made a serious mistake just now. I hope this mistake will not bring any bad consequences to the game." Kenny Smith said.

"The consequences have been made," Barkley said. "The Nuggets used Shark-cutting tactics to tie the score. Without Jordan's bad free throw, the Timberwolves should have been ahead now."

"Now the two teams have reached the end, everything is hard to say." Miller said.

The two teams then played in one round, and the game finally entered within two minutes.

The Timberwolves requested a pause.

McHale glanced at Jordan with a towel on his head, hesitated for a moment, and called his name: "Dandrew, you come on the court to replace Craig!"

Jordan was shocked when he heard this. He thought he would never have a chance to play in this game.

Those bad free throws really hurt the team's morale.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, McHale dared to send him on the field.

However, although the Nuggets dare not use the Shark-cutting tactic.

What if the Nuggets foul the rebound again if they grab it?

Li Rong saw the hesitation in Jordan's heart, walked up and patted him on the shoulder: "Isn't it just that I missed a few free throws? We believe that your role on the court cannot be offset by those few free throws."

Jordan was filled with tears at this moment. He had made such a big mistake, but he didn't expect that the coach and the team boss would still trust him so much.

"That's right!" said Billups. "Come on, let's win this game, believe me, as long as you can win, no one remembers those bad processes."

Billups' words cheered up Jordan Jr.

Yes, this is the game. As long as you can win, who will remember the 5 free throws he lost at the last moment?

On the contrary, even if all the balls are scored and the team loses, there will still be various criticisms in the outside world.

Billups is worthy of being a veteran and can see everything very thoroughly.

In competitive sports, the winner is the king.

The best way to make those critics shut their mouths is to conquer all opponents with constant victory!

Billups' words not only cheered up Jordan Jr., but other teammates were also greatly encouraged, and the team's morale immediately reached its peak.

"Come on!" Li Rong took the lead and stretched out his hand, "Let us win this victory for Changxi, and let us win this victory for ourselves."

Then everyone in the Timberwolves folded their hands together: "Come on!"

"Jordan Jr. is replaced again," Kenny Smith saw the Timberwolves' lineup adjustment at a glance. "It seems that McHale is still very bold in using people."

"Yes," Barkley said, "It's still risky to do this. Jordan Jr.'s free throw is really bad. The Nuggets' next goal will definitely be on him. Once Jordan Jr. holds the ball, they will definitely foul."

"Although there are certain risks in doing this, I think if Jordan Jr. can help the team win after playing, then the confidence in this game should be greatly improved. McHale is right to do this, and he gives the players the greatest trust they can give." Miller said.

The game started again, and the Timberwolves' bottom line ball.

After Billups dribbled through half the game, he gave the ball to Li Rong.

After Li Rong got the ball, he attracted almost all the outside attention of the Nuggets.

Seeing this, Li Rong directly gave the ball to Jefferson in the inside.

Jefferson singled Kenyon Martin at the basket, turned around and shot missed.

Martin is stuck in the main basket position and wants to create a chance for his teammates to grab rebounds.

In his vision, a figure rose into the air and grabbed the ball in the air with both hands.

Seeing this, Martin's heart sank. It was Jordan, who had just played, who actually grabbed the offensive rebound at a critical moment.

Jordan Jr. wanted to find the figure of his outside teammates when he got the ball.

Nene did not dare to let him pass the ball, and saw this and quickly fouled Jordan to the free throw line again.

Everyone in the Nuggets breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Nene's foul was timely.

At the same time, they all looked at Jordan's performance on the free throw line with a playful look.

The first penalty was indeed lost again, and the Nuggets players all had a look of sneer on their faces.

So what if you can jump? So what if you grab the rebound?

If you don't score a free throw or you can't score a score.

Jordan Jr. also showed the Nuggets' contempt for him, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

In the second penalty, Jordan Jr.'s expression became extremely serious.

I kept thinking about the key points of free throws mentioned by the trainer to him.

Relax your body, adjust your breathing rhythm, and shoot free throws.

The arc of this ball is still very flat, but the ballistics are a bit positive.

Everyone under the basket was nervous and pushed each other to grab the rebound.

"Bang!" The ball hit the basket and bounced high.

But then, the basketball in the air fell straight into the basket.
