Chapter 51 - Fangs
The game has already started. The Timberwolves took the initiative and got the ball first. Rubio advanced to the frontcourt and gave the ball to Lefu. The rest pulled away and gave Lefu a single.
Magic won’t let the Timberwolves do what they want. When they see Carrefour wanting to play singles, they immediately go to the defense.
“Co-defense?” Le Fu laughed inwardly. All he wanted was this. He wanted to kill his opponents as much as possible and score as much as possible. This does not mean that he would do so from the beginning. What’s more, the Timberwolves are not the only one who can score, Martin is also a big killer.
At the moment, Love took the ball out.
Martin reversed, Brewer gave him a cover, Martin took the opportunity to throw away the defender, to the left three-point line, received Le Fu’s pass, directly a three-pointer.
Now!
With a soft sound, the ball decisively entered the net.
“nice shot.”
“it is good.”
On the sidelines, Ning Yi and others applauded in unison.
There were also huge cheers from the audience. This is the home of the Timberwolves. There are many fans of the Timberwolves. The huge cheers echoed in the arena like mountains and tsunami.
Martin smiled slightly, made a “three-point” gesture, and hit the first shot. It also made him feel very good, and his desire for scoring became stronger.
In 13 years, Martin averaged 20 points per game. His scoring ability and defensive ability are all top-ranked in the league. Once he feels it comes, his scoring will become unstoppable.
In the next few minutes, the Magic’s defensive focus was still Love, but what they did not think was that Love did not have many singles. Instead, Martin broke out. 4 of 6 shots in a few minutes, including a three-pointer, A person scored 9 points.
Fortunately, Vucevic played well in the Magic.
The Timberwolves’ defensive center of gravity is on the outside, but the Magic team’s Vucevic is in excellent condition. Even in the face of the containment of Love and Pekovic, he can still play an effective kill.
In this way, when the first quarter played more than five minutes, the Timberwolves will only lead the Magic 3 points.
“Substitution.” Adelman made a substitution, replacing Pekovic, replacing Dion, and instructing Dion: “Your task is to defend and defend Pekovic.” Martin played in these few minutes It’s so good, but the Timberwolves led by 3 points, the biggest reason is that the restrictions on Vucevic are not doing well enough.
The starting lineup of the Magic team is only Vucevic’s height is the highest, with 213 cm, the remaining few are not high, the highest is Harris, with a height of 203 cm.
The height of the opponent, as long as it can restrict Vucevic, the Timberwolves can definitely occupy a great advantage, but Pekovic can’t do it.
As for Love, he is a power forward, not directly against Vucevic.
What’s more, Love’s role is mainly reflected on the offensive end, you can’t use him as a defensive player, then it is upside down.
“Yes.” Dion nodded.
After this substitution, the effect is still obvious.
Dion is 211 cm tall, not much shorter than Vucevic, plus others are younger, good bounce, active enough, dare to dare to grab, in the defense of Vucevic, it is better than Pekovic some.
But at this time the magic broke out from the outside of Aflaro, hitting two three-pointers in the outside line, even if Brewer was in front of him, he was able to shoot.
This is not a question of defense.
“This is the game, full of uncertainty, no one knows what will happen next time.” Ning Yi sighed, just stopped Vucevic, and the other one jumped out.
Adelman frowned, thought for a moment, then looked at the bench and shouted: “Ning, prepare, wait for replacing Brewer. Your task is to shoot and score.”
“Yes.” Ning Yi responded, excited.
This is the Timberwolves’ first regular season game. Originally, Ning Yi thought that he had to wait until the end of the first quarter to play. Unexpectedly, he had a chance so quickly.
When the Magic scored again, Adelman called for a timeout, on the one hand to interrupt the opponent’s rhythm, on the one hand, just happened to replace, re-adjust the tactics.
“I’ll talk about it,” Adelman said, spreading the tactical board. “From these few minutes, the other two people, Vucevic and Avraro, are threats. In the first few minutes, we were against Vucevi Qi’s defense is not doing well, this has changed after Dion went up, and he did a good job.”
Dion grinned and Pekovic blushed.
Adelman said again: “As for Aflaro, it is not that our defense is not doing well, but that the opponent is in good shape. Since that is the case, then we will start from the offense to attack the attack. Wait for Brewer. , Ning Shang. Love, Martin, Ning, these are our three scoring points, you three should pay attention to running position, always maintain a triangle. Rubio, your task is also very important, any of them When you have a chance, you must give the ball.”
“Yeah.” Rubio nodded. He still has unstable shots today. All his first two shots hit the iron~www.mtlnovel.com~ So there was no shot behind, but let him pass the ball. This is no problem.
“Okay, just play like this, go on.” Adelman put away the tactical board.
At this time, the whistle sounded.
came to play, Terry Porter held Ning Yi and told him: “Relax, it should be the usual training. Don’t hesitate once you have the opportunity, please vote first.”
“I understand.” Ning Yi responded.
At this time, the players of both sides returned to the field.
The Magic also performed a staff rotation, replaced Harris, replaced by Andrew Nicholson with a height of 206 cm, improved his inside height, replaced Nelson, and replaced this year’s rookie Victor Oladipo .
Seeing Oladipo, many messages flashed in Ning Yi’s mind.
Oladipo is the No. 2 pick this year and the most valuable among the top three picks so far. As for Anthony Bennett, let’s not talk about it. Otto Porter is in the Wizards a few years later. It’s okay to play, but at this stage, the results are not in line with his pick.
“Offense.”
Rubio’s voice came, Ning Yi withdrew his gaze, and the Timberwolves began to attack.
At this time, the first quarter played eight minutes, the Timberwolves 17:1:8, but it was one point behind the Magic.
In a blink of an eye, Rubio came to the frontcourt, dribbling in one hand, and gesturing for his teammates with one hand, instructing everyone to run, Ning Yi started to move, took a lap along the inside line, and then returned to the outside line.
At the same time, Martin and Love are moving.
The movement of the three people does not seem to be regular, but if you look closely, you can find that no matter how the three people move, they are always a triangle.
After several movements, the Timberwolves’ fangs appeared…
