Li Rong scored the team's highest 12 points in the first quarter, and also had 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Not long after the second quarter was resting, Li Rong took the game again.

In this quarter, Whitman arranged more unball covers for him to save some energy.

After nearly a year of training, Li Rong's off-ball running position is not as good as a master of off-ball running like Reggie Miller and Hamilton, but he is quite good.

He scored another 10 points in this quarter. Before the first half, the personal score had exceeded the twenty mark.

However, the Timberwolves did not gain any advantage in the scene, but were instead recovered by the Spurs two points.

At the end of the half, the Timberwolves led the Spurs by two points 50 to 48.

Ginobili, who scored the highest in the half, has since made the pass mistake at the beginning, Ginobili has started the Demon Sword Bloodthirsty Mode and broke through to the Timberwolves inside to score points one after another.

The Timberwolves' inside line is still too weak. Since Ratliff's injury, there has been no serious frame guard.

Although Li Rong has always believed that traditional centers will be eliminated by the times, now all teams will have one or two inside players.

Ratliff was also the 4-time blocking champion at his peak. Although he is now suffering from back injuries, his defensive effect is not as good as before.

But it's too bad to resist the defense of others. The Timberwolves' backcourt combination is probably the weakest in the entire league.

This weakness has nothing to do with fame, it is just a simple dish. Sometimes, it can be at least mixed with the opponent if it feels better. Once the outside feel is lost, it will be a side effect after playing. Li Rong has to work hard to help them wipe their butts.

The outside line is an ATM, and the inside line does not have a strong frame protection center, so it is normal to be beaten up.

When Li Rong assisted in defense at the basket, he sometimes wondered how Da Ben's height was able to become the best defensive player of the 4th class.

Later I found out that I was too short...

The hand is too short.

This season is probably a tough time. The team is full of bad contracts and has no salary space to strengthen. They can only slowly explore from the team's existing candidates.

In fact, Li Rong thinks Brewer is very good, has a good defensive awareness, and is willing to work hard. The most regrettable thing is that his shooting is even worse than in college.

If Brewer can practice a qualified three-pointer, he will be a good 3D player.

Brewer's official position is a small forward, and Li Rong feels that he can play as a shooting guard with his movement.

As for his official height of 2.06, he is completely a fool. Li Rong remembers that when Chicago jointly tried his body side, his body side data was obviously 6 feet 6 bare feet 6, and his shoes were 6 feet 7, which was about 2 meters.

Brewer has performed well recently, and Li Rong estimated that Whitman might put him in the lineup as the second position.

Now the Timberwolves are mainly because of their poor defense in the backcourt. McCantz and Terfill have to replace one who can defend.

This person is likely to be Terfill. He is born with insufficient height, and he is a style of playing with the ball. His outside shooting is inaccurate and has nothing to do with the lineup.

What Terfell is most suitable for coming on the bench is to provide fire support to the team.

As soon as the third quarter came back, the Spurs' defensive strategy changed significantly and they began to try to double-team Li Rong at a high position.

The risk of double-teaming at high positions is much greater than double-teaming at low positions, because the ball holder has a broader view of passing the ball.

But there is no way. It seems that anyone who replaces the Spurs will feel that they are misplaced.

In this quarter, the Timberwolves played the smoothest attack in the game. Although Li Rong only scored 4 points, he gave 5 assists.

Under the leadership of Li Rong, Terfel and Gomez both scored 10 points, and their shooting percentage was extremely high. The two made a total of 7 of 8 shots.

The Timberwolves scored 36-26 in a single quarter, leading the opponent 12 points into the fourth quarter.

Unexpectedly, the Timberwolves inexplicably entered a collapse state as soon as they came up in the fourth quarter, and the substitute lineup only scored 2 points in 4 minutes.

The Spurs substitute took this opportunity to smooth the gap in one fell swoop under Ginobili's leadership.

88 to 88, Li Rong made another appearance, and Ginobili was temporarily replaced by Brent Barry to rest.

The Spurs have a field lineup, point guard Parker, shooting guard Barry, small forward Finley, power forward Bowen, and center Duncan.

The Timberwolves were all replaced by the opening five-man team, Li Rong, Jefferson, Gomez, McCantz, and Terfil.

The Timberwolves made their first attack when they returned, and Jefferson was blocked by Duncan at the basket.

The basketball rolled to the ground, and Li Rong and Bao Wen fell to the ground almost at the same time to compete.

Bao Wen's position was better, so he took the lead in holding the ball with his left hand. Li Rong followed him and stretched out his right hand to hug the ball in his arms.

Seeing that he was not at the advantage, Bao Wen immediately made a black leg and pressed his knee hard on Li Rong's thigh.

Li Rong became very angry after suffering pain. Unexpectedly, this old guy was so slim. If he went a few inches up, he would be his vital part.

This is not a football field, there is no crotch guard.

Li Rong decided to take revenge in an instant, and he could not suffer this secret loss. He stretched out his left hand to pretend to compete for the ball, and slapped Bao Wen with a big mouth.

"Bang!"

This slap was very crisp and made everyone stunned.

Bao Wen was stunned by the slap. Li Rong took advantage of the situation to hug the basketball in his arms, but a whistle suddenly sounded in his ear.

The referee raised his head over his hands, raised his thumbs up, and gave both sides a scramble.

"Hey! Brother, haven't you seen me beaten by this little bastard? Should you give him a malicious foul!" Bao Wen, who got up from the ground, was a little angry and chased the referee and began to ask for an explanation.

The referee knew Bao Wen's usual behavior very well, and also noticed his just now, and he was quite disgusted with his behavior and ignored his accusations.

Li Rong stood up and moved his thigh that had just been hit. There was no big problem, probably just some bruises.

Today I finally had the honor to see Bowen's black legs and even responded with a big mouth. This wave is not a loss.

The two performed the jump ball, and Li Rong used his height advantage to push the ball to Gomez.

The Timberwolves reorganized the offense. Since Duncan replaced Jefferson, his efficiency has begun to decline, and Li Rong decided to play alone by himself.

Bao Wen's close-fitting defense immediately came. He pressed Li Rong's back with one hand, and reached his other hand to Li Rong's armpit and pinched his fingers directly at the soft flesh.

Damn it!

Li Rong really didn't expect this guy to be so despicable. He endured the pain and started to chisel his body behind him with his body.

Bao Wen couldn't bear to take it and took two steps back, and Li Rong took this opportunity to turn over and shoot.
Chapter completed!
