"so what?"

Yao Ming listened to his words and replied, then received the ball at a high position and attacked the "Sugar Man" in the middle distance.

"Swish!"

The ball enters!

The first shot hit, and Yao Ming's touch looked very good tonight.

He also spread his hands to Kevin Garnett, as if saying: You still can't do anything to me if you have someone!

The head coach of the Timberwolves looked at this situation and signaled Kevin Garnett to quickly change defense with the "Sugar Man". Obviously, the "Sugar Man" could not keep up with Yao Ming's offensive rhythm at all. If he continued to defend, he would only be a "withdrawal chicken" tonight.

Tom also made some adjustments to the Rockets' defense, allowing Lagabel, who is better at man-to-man defense, to face the "Aliens".

Now the "Aliens" dare not go shopping slowly like the old man anymore. Lagabel's close-fitting defense obviously made him feel uncomfortable.

He found a chance and gave the ball to Kevin Garnett.

Garnett faced Karl Malone and made a move, and then quickly gave the ball to the latter when Szebiac stepped behind him.

Szebiak's movement speed was fast enough and his shot after getting the ball was fast enough. Francis pounced on him, and the guy still hit the ball steadily into the basket.

A three-pointer hit, the "handsome guy" gave a charming look at the female fans on the sidelines, and the female fans who were hit by Wink were trembling with laughter.

The Timberwolves lead 5-2.

“nice!”

Kevin Garnett shouted at Szebiak, but his entire attention was now on Yao Ming.

His mobility is indeed fine. When Francis first gave the ball to Yao Ming in the frontcourt, he quickly approached, without giving Yao Ming a chance to take action, and directly engaged in a physical confrontation with him.

Yao Ming made two moves of breakthrough tendency and did not fool the guy away. After glimpsing the wing Szebiak double-teamed, Yao Ming also gave up his plan to play Kevin Garnett alone and gave the ball back to Frances.

Francis faced the "Madman" with the ball again. The missed shot just now did not affect "Spider-Man"'s desire to attack, but instead made him more motivated now.

With a large change of direction, followed by a larger change of direction, Francis also played the ultimate change of direction that he himself was not very good at trying.

But once this move is successful, the opponent will be destined to be unable to stop it. Even if the guy standing opposite him is called "Madman" Spreville, it will be useless...

"Swish!"

After this huge change of direction, Francis broke through the "Madman" in just one step, and then he successfully hit the ball with an emergency stop jump shot.

This guy's shooting stability now!

He can actually complete such extreme moves and score this goal.

Well~Not to mention, it tastes like the Mamba snake later!

Yao Ming actually saw a little bit of the shadow of "Black Mamba" from Francis' ball. This would have happened in his previous life!

But, thinking about it, Francis' talent is not bad either. If he is not bad, he can rank second in the first round in 1999?

His talent and no longer fooling around this year, especially this offseason, it is normal for him to make such progress with hard training!

Of course, if Francis knew what Yao Ming was thinking now, he might be a little angry. I worked so hard, but are you thinking about that man?

And said I was the Houston "Mamba"?

Pooh!

He is obviously "Los Angeles Spider-Man"!

Francis was shocked by the "madman" and looked him up and down.

This little guy is a little interesting!

No wonder there is a nickname called "Spider-Man"... This physical fitness is indeed interesting!

But... do you know who was the best defender in the league that year after Michael Jordan's first retirement?

Follow me!

I'll let you play with me!

In the next attack, the "Madman" also faced Frances directly, which was worthy of the famous "first step of rapidity" in the league. Although he was 34 years old, his explosive power did not drop much. After taking the first step, he got stuck and then in the confrontation with Frances, he also made a basket and entered...

This goal was really fucking Jimmy Butler!

It can be seen that the Timberwolves are getting into the state very quickly today.

As soon as they came up, they all opened up their feel.

With so many of them scoring, the Rockets also had some problems on the defense line: several times they had lost one's attention.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves also scored a 6-point advantage with the multi-point blossoming at the beginning!

"The Timberwolves have really scored so many points this year!"

Tom couldn't help but mutter when the Rockets walked off the field at the end of the first quarter.

He can say that he attaches enough importance to the Timberwolves, but now it seems that the Timberwolves is stronger than he imagined, especially in the offense... The "Madman" has scored 9 points, Szebiak scored 6 points with two three-pointers, and the "Aliens" scored 5 points. Tom really didn't think about such a strong "multiple point blooming".

Of course, it would be strange if he could think of the 34-year-old "madman" who scored 9 points in a single quarter...

However, although the "Madman" scored nearly 10 points in a single quarter, Tom did not blame Francis. Defense was not Francis' job, and after watching the whole first quarter, there was nothing wrong with Francis' defense. It would be impossible for you to expect him to perform better on the defensive end.

Besides, the Timberwolves are in good condition tonight. The "Alien" scored the first goal, and Szebiak scored immediately. Then it was the "madman" turn. Before Kevin Garnett took action, there were already three different guys on the Timberwolves scoring. Who would have thought of this...

Thibodeau also frowned. He also didn't expect the Timberwolves to feel so hot tonight's offensive firepower point!

But he can't use this as an excuse. He is the Rockets' defensive head coach. He will let the Timberwolves bloom more as soon as he comes up. He will definitely be inseparable from the fact that he can't escape!

Besides, his spirit cannot accept that the team he coaches is so bad in defense.

In fact, he wanted to call for a timeout several times in the first quarter, but Tom said he was not in a hurry, so he was not in a hurry!

But now, he must be unable to bear it!

Less than 5 minutes into the game, 4 of the opponent's five guys on the field have already scored. Are you playing?

This is "slapping" him in the face!

After all, Tom Thibodeau has some reputation in the coaching circle now, so he can't be slapped in the face like this!

"People, honestly, I'm very dissatisfied with your performance on the defensive end. This is not what I expected you to do. I hope you can seriously invest in the defensive end. Listen, I hope to see your adjustments, let's defeat the Timberwolves with defense tonight!"

Thibodeau gave some encouragement, and then he explained the defensive arrangements he expected one by one. At the end of the talk, he glanced at Yao Ming: "Look at you, Yao!"

Yao Ming occupies a very important position in the entire arrangement of Thibodeau!

Yao Ming nodded: "Don't worry!"

"beep!"

The second quarter of the game quickly started over the referees' whistle.

The Minnesota fans at the scene cheered loudly when the main Timberwolves player returned to the court.

No wonder they were beaten so badly last season's playoffs. The first time they met this season, the Timberwolves suppressed the Rockets by 6 points after the first quarter, and the entire first quarter was their rhythm of the Rockets. Such a scene made them more or less feel like "Thirty Years of Hedong, Thirty Years of Hexi".

There are few "wolf" in the end!

"Swish!"

The main Rockets returned to the court and first played a team that was so bad that it cooperated, and finally Bathir hit the sky basket.

This goal allowed the Rockets to catch up with the score difference to 4 points.

However, Tom off the court, especially Thibodeau, did not take this ball seriously. What they are paying more attention to now is the Rockets' performance on the defensive end, especially Thibodeau. When the Timberwolves served the ball in the backcourt, his whole expression became a little serious. He still doesn't know how much his adjustment can change the Rockets, which makes him more nervous.

On the Timberwolves, Kassel dribbled the ball after halftime, and Lagabel forced her over immediately. Since he switched to defend Kassel, he has been pushing in close-fitting style, and the effect is quite significant. The "Aliens" dribble like "strolling in the garden" during this period, and instead, they are quick to shoot in constant confrontation.

As the main controller, Carlisle only scored 5 points at the end of the first quarter, and could even be divided into more detail. After Lagabele defended, he only scored 3 points, which was inseparable from Lagabele's defensive style.

Good defense!

When Kassel faces a defender like Lagabel, he can also be regarded as meeting a "nemesis".

But Lagabel, who has always been defending well, was much more fierce when he returned to the field this time, the pressing was much more fierce than before, and the "bulldog" was quite lively, and the "bulldog" that was already "crazy".

This scared Kassel and hurriedly reviewed himself: Did I just provoke him? No! I didn't do anything that could easily cause misunderstandings!

Well, in fact, it is normal for Kassel to figure out the reason, because Lagabell's defensive attitude suddenly became more positive, and it had nothing to do with him.

He is so active because, in his opinion, Thibodeau is not satisfied with the Rockets' current defensive state, which is talking about him!

You know, he has gained a foothold in this league by relying on his defensive ability.

It was also because of his defensive ability that he entered the starting lineup of the Rockets!

Isn't Thibodeau not satisfied with the Rockets' defense just saying in a vague way that he is not satisfied with his defense?

Then he must have to perform more actively and prove his defensive ability!

But this happened, Kassel was a little bitter... Now, Kassel, who was able to dribble against Lagabe in the confrontation before, had to keep dribbling to ensure that he was not forced to stop the ball by Lagabe.

The Timberwolves' offensive formation also became a little messy with Carlisle's running around.

Szebiak barely received the ball in the chaos and instinctively wanted to shoot. He had already hit two three-pointers in the first quarter, but this time he received the ball, Bathir had already run to him, pressing him tightly with his body, without giving any room for shooting.

The "handsome guy" had no choice but to make a fake shooting move, and later people rushed straight to the basket.

"Bang!"
