Chapter 271 Victory over Timberwolves
At the start of the second quarter, Timberwolves head coach Philip Saunders underestimated the enemy, leaving Szczerbiak and Sprewell on the field and replacing them with Olowokandi, Hassel and Harder. Mori.
D'Antoni also seems to have heard rumors that the Suns can't fight tough battles, and the dialogue between strong and strong always loses.
In the first round of the second quarter's offense, the Timberwolves had the ball first. Hudson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, directly against Nash's defense, and suddenly pulled up a jumper and made a three-pointer.
Hudson's dry three-point shot was a bit unreasonable. It was too sudden and fast, which caught Nash by surprise.
Swish! !
Although this three-point shot has a strong taste, Hudson's style of play is like this. If he is a bit nervous, you really can't do anything about him. His recklessness and accurate touch are very impressive. Headache.
Offensive and defensive transitions, the Timberwolves lineup is also very mobile, and the Suns' running and bombing were directly suppressed and slowed down.
In the positional battle, the Suns were still in the diamond tactical position. Nash broke through with the ball in the middle and played a pick-and-roll with Stoudemire.
Nash faced the Timberwolves' dislocation and switched defenses, and directly scored the basketball to Stoudemire.
Hudson is 185cm tall and weighs 81kg. The advantage of this dislocation is too obvious. For Stoudemire, this level of defense is like paper, which can be broken at the first touch.
Stoudemire took a dribble and rushed towards the basket. Hudson barely touched and stretched out his hand. If he touched it, he would foul and give Stoudemire a 2-1 chance.
Stoudemire easily reached the basket, jumped up, stretched his body in the air, and smashed the basketball heavily on the basket with one hand, making a loud bang.
Tomahawk split button!A two-point dunk succeeded.
The Timberwolves attacked, and Hudson dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. Instead of messing around, he distributed the basketball to Sprewell on the right for personal singles.
After catching the ball, Sprewell stepped down and dribbled the ball continuously, made a big change of direction, and immediately broke through with his feet to the inside. The horn area immediately drew his bow and arrow, and shot a two-point mid-range jumper.
The basketball hit the basket steadily and made two jump shots.
Sprewell is a master of chaos and is very suitable as a sixth man. With the ball in his hand, he can play a powerful destructive force.
Looking back, the Suns still played pick-and-roll cooperation. Nash unexpectedly did not score the ball this time, but directly singled out Olowokandi, facing his defense, and directly hit a Cavaliers archery throw.
Olowokandi is the champion of parallel imports in the 98 generation. His physical fitness is good, but his skills are not satisfactory. He can only play with his body. Facing Nash's shot, he just stretched out his hand to prove that he is defending.
The Timberwolves attacked, and Hudson forced Nash in the middle, but was flanked by Richardson and Nash.
Hudson hit the ground with a back pass, passed the basketball to Hassel, took a step open, and made a two-point mid-range shot.
There was a sound of iron striking.
The two-pointer missed and went out of the frame.
Stoudemire overwhelmed Olowokandi, grabbed the rebound strongly, and immediately distributed the ball to Nash, playing a defensive counterattack.
Joe Johnson and Richardson rushed towards the Timberwolves' frontcourt like two sharp knives. Nash turned around and dribbled the ball, avoiding Hudson's steal, without stopping for half a point, and passed a long pass directly while running.
The basketball accurately found Richardson, received the ball comfortably, dribbled a step to adjust the rhythm, bent his knees and pulled the ball up, his body blossomed in the air, and the basketball was plucked from the fingertips, like plucking the strings, with a very soft touch.
Swish! !
There was a clear sound of wiping the net, and the white net was overflowing, and the three-pointer hit the net hollowly.
Next, the Suns opened fire collectively from inside and outside the line, playing a wave of attacks like clouds and flowing water, and hit a wave of 17 to 8 spurts. While overtaking the score, they directly stopped the Timberwolves.
The head coach of the Timberwolves, Saunders, is also big-hearted. He actually thinks that the substitute players led by the two stars of the Timberwolves can compete with the Suns?
As a result, the Suns' 7-second running and bombing and diamond tactical play shined again, and the suffocating offensive shock wave made the Timberwolves completely unable to lift their heads.
Sanders' adjustment method is to suppress the offensive rhythm, prevent the Suns from speeding up, and then replace them with stars to attack.
I have to say that Garnett is in very good condition tonight. Whether it is a face-up catch jumper or a mid-range jumper after a post-up singles feint, it is almost no matter how he plays, Stoudemire Allen couldn't limit Garnett's super offensive firepower at all, and he didn't have a trace of temper when he was cleaned up.
As soon as Cassell came on the field, he took over the organization of the Timberwolves' offense again and organized the Timberwolves' offense in an orderly manner.
Sprewell is no longer alone, and his personal singles ability has also been fully displayed.
However, the offensive firepower of the Suns became hotter and more violent, playing a multi-point blooming situation.
Although the Timberwolves head coach Saunders emphasized to suppress the Suns' offensive rhythm, the open Suns are not so easy to freeze.
Nash showed a top-level passing assist ability. Under his needle-threading, the Suns' offensive rhythm was very smooth.
During the running and bombing, Richardson and Joe Johnson hit two three-point forts with an amazing hit rate, and it rained three-pointers outside the three-point line.
Marion and Stoudemire's physical talents are top-notch, their speed is extremely fast, and they are unstoppable when they sprint, and they frequently hit the basket and dunk successfully.
Even if it is a positional battle, in the diamond tactical play, the Suns' wings are flying together, and the three-pointer fortress is hot, firmly nailing the footsteps of Sprewell and Szczerbiak.
Then, Nash, Stoudemire, and Marion, who got plenty of offensive space, also had undiminished offensive firepower, and the Timberwolves' defense was retreating steadily.
At the end of the second quarter, the Phoenix Suns played violent offensive firepower and returned a 37-25 attack wave to Minnesota.
At the end of halftime, the Suns turned away from home, leading the Timberwolves by 70 points 63 to 7, and entered the locker room to rest.
After a 15-minute break, the game came back in the second half, and the two sides changed sides to fight again.
The third quarter started, and D'Antoni kept three starters on the court, and then rotated two players.
The Timberwolves attacked with all their strength, trying to recover the score and establish a lead.
The game started in the third quarter, and the Suns had the first possession of the ball.
Nash dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Cassell completed close marking, and changed direction with a cross step. Nash broke through with the ball in the mid-range shot, and played a pick-and-roll cooperation with Stoudemire.
Marion on the left took the initiative to pull to the outside and made a switch screen with Jacobson. Nash's vision was excellent. Facing the two-person attack of Cassell and Sprewell, he could still easily distribute the basketball to Marion. hands.
Outside the 65-degree three-point line on the left, Marion caught the ball and faced the frame without any hesitation.
Madsen's physical fitness is relatively average, and he was covered by Jacobson. He wanted to pounce on Marion, but it was too late.
Besides, he didn't expect Marion to go to the three-point line to attack.
Marion's shooting posture is a bit awkward and looks ugly, but he has three-point range.
Swish! !
Marion's three-pointer hit the bull's-eye steadily, and beat the Timberwolves by a hunter.
Looking back, Garnett's touch was so hot that he singled Stoudemire from behind, turned over and made a two-point mid-range jumper, which was still a steady hit.
The offensive firepower of the Suns continued well. Marion did not pull to the horns, but directly pulled to outside the three-point line to help Nash get rid of the screen.
Nash understood it, and took the ball to the inside, attracting the Timberwolves' defensive attention. With a clear snap, Nash casually made a back pass. After the basketball hit the floor, it fell into Marion's hands ready.
At the top arc of the three-point line, Marion slightly bent his knees, jumped up lightly, and pushed the basketball into the sky.
There was a crisp sound of wiping the net.
The white net flowers are overflowing, and the three-pointer hits the basket with precision.
With Marion hitting consecutive three-pointers, the Timberwolves' defensive arrangement was disrupted, and the Suns took advantage of the situation to push and run, leading the offensive rhythm. The stormy offensive firepower made the Timberwolves unable to hold their heads up.
Although Garnett and Cassell were in excellent offensive form, the Timberwolves' flanks were misfired.
Among them, Sprewell was completely out of shape, 4 of 0 shots, and the score was completely zero in the third quarter, and his mid-range shooting skills seemed to have cooled down.
Szczerbiak is not so good. When he is in Guan Jian, he is completely invisible, has no sense of presence, and has few opportunities to attack.
The other substitute players are just playing soy sauce, without the right to attack the ball, and have been running back and forth. If it is just icing on the cake, they may not perform badly, but it is simply impossible for them to send charcoal in the snow.
At the end of the third quarter, the Suns once again launched a multi-point offensive, with an offensive firepower that just broke 100 in the third quarter, leading the Timberwolves by 85 points 15 to [-], and entered the decisive battle at the end of the fourth quarter.
The fourth quarter started, and Szczerbiak and Garnett led the bench.
D'Antoni entered the 7-man rotation to the end, and still chose a three-point starter with two substitutes to play.
As soon as the fourth quarter opened, the Timberwolves played a wave of offensive.
Szczerbiak took the lead to stand up. Facing Richardson's defense, he played very resolutely. His shooting touch was very hot, and he made two consecutive mid-range shots.
As Szczerbiak opened up and Garnett maintained an excellent performance throughout the game, he frequently succeeded in post-up singles.
The Timberwolves beat the Suns to a 12-4 spurt.
D'Antoni called a timeout and then kicked out all the starting five.
Nash and Stoudemire began to take over the banner of the Suns' next offense.
Nash and Stoudemire directly sacrificed the invincible pick-and-roll cooperation.
Stoudemire played like a superstar, when the team needed him, the offensive firepower was full.
After the pick-and-roll with Nash, he received the ball from Shi, pulled it up and made a mid-range shot. The sharp and precise two-point mid-range shot gave Garnett a headache when he was guarding the basket. Good shot.
Occasionally, he can dribble to the basket. Garnett consumes a lot of energy on the offensive end, and he has no strength to stop Stoudemire's offense.
With Stoudemire's offensive performance, he calmed down the situation on the court, and Nash also began to see the needles, making shots when he had the opportunity, and supporting the organization to pass the ball when he had no opportunity, and delivered ammunition for his teammates.
Coupled with Joe Johnson's recovery in individual singles, the Suns stubbornly withstood the Timberwolves' counterattack.
Even though Garnett's personal performance is superb, with superstar-like statistics, he made 28 of 19 shots, 1 of 0 three-pointers, 11 of 9 free throws, 47 points, 17 rebounds and 5 assists. He did everything he could on the court. Everything, still can't get back the defeat.
Needless to say, Garnett's performance in the "three-headed monster" combination, Cassel also performed well, scoring 24 points and 9 assists.
However, Sprewell's state was inaccurate and he only scored 11 points and 4 assists. Although another giant of the Timberwolves, Szczerbiak broke out in the last quarter and scored 12 points in a single quarter with the strength of an All-Star shooter. , scored 22 points and 6 assists in the whole game, and still can only swallow the bitter fruit of defeat.
At the end of the game, the Phoenix Suns played a multi-point offensive and defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves by 122 to 115, 7 points, and won the New Year's 2-game winning streak.
太阳队首发五虎全部得分上双，斯塔德迈尔狂砍34分8篮板，马里昂28分8篮板，纳什20分16助攻，乔约翰逊16分6助攻，理查德森11分5助攻。
Lin Bai didn't have much playing time, scored 8 points and 2 assists, and was still playing the role of soy sauce. Fortunately, the new year has just started, and 8 points are not too much, and finally opened a good situation.
