Chapter 76
In the commentary box.
Barkley smiled and said:"Shaquille, it's just as you said. Tonight, guys like the Timberwolves with amazing talents are about to explode. They faced off against the equally talented Su Hao.
In the first quarter, Su Hao took the After 14 points, Kobe also scored 7 points, but the point difference was still only 2 points. It seems that tonight's game will be very anxious."
"really"
"but......This is the only way to make the game more interesting."
On the court.
Soon.
The second quarter started. First, it was a duel between substitutes. Towns, who was in poor condition in the first quarter and had to rest early, came on the court to attack Lou Williams.
Although he was not as good as Su Hao, but......With Towns' talent, he still has a certain advantage over Lou Williams. During the rotation time, he led the team to recover 2 points and overtake by 3 points.
""Beep!"
Scott called a timeout, and the starting lineups of both teams returned to the court.
Wiggins and LaVine were still in good shape, and Towns was also in good shape after adjusting for a quarter, attacking in the restricted area and in his familiar position as much as possible.
In this situation, with the help of the"Golden Boy" Rubio, the strength of the entire Timberwolves will jump to a higher level. In that case, even if facing the No. 1 Lakers in the Western Conference, they will still have the strength to fight.
In fact, if Wiggins can maintain the aggressiveness in the first quarter, the Timberwolves' offensive firepower will be even greater than that of the Lakers.
However
"After all,"Healthy Mamba" is a"healthy" style of play. After scoring 10 points in a single quarter, he thought, there is still a full quarter of time. He can score 20+ points no matter how he plays.
So......Begin to be lax and start scratching the surface. certainly.
Even so, with"Wolfberry" Wiggins'"health" style of play, he can average 20+ points per game, which is not bad at all.
As for the Lakers.
Su Hao's offensive was as serious as ever. because......He knew very well that he had another task, which was to score 50 points in a single game and get: Tony Parker's turnaround.
Kobe, who had a strong desire to win, had been playing seriously, striving for every victory, and naturally defending very seriously.
So.
Even if the talented players of the Timberwolves were all exploding, the Lakers were not inferior.
So.
In the second and third quarters of the game, the two teams were in a fierce and anxious offensive, and the scores rose alternately. It seemed that no one could do anything to the other.
It was hard to tell who would win.
But the score was really exciting.
After three quarters
【Timberwolves 83:85 Lakers].
Rest between sessions.
O'Neal said:"With 33 points in the 3rd quarter, Su Hao's performance was as stable as ever, while Towns, the"number one pick" who came back from adjustment, also scored 16 points.
However, compared to Su Hao, he was still far behind."
"That's right."
Barkley nodded, but then said:"But the Timberwolves faced the first-place Lakers in the Western Conference tonight and were only 2 points behind after three quarters.
It's not just Towns who played well.
Andrew, Zach, Ricky Rubio all played well, and even Kevin Garnett, the"Wolf King" who is on the verge of retirement, played well in his iron-blooded mid-range shots tonight.
In short.
The game is still stalemate, and it's still hard to say whether it will win or lose. I even think that if Andrew gets serious and fights hard in the last quarter.
Tonight.
The Timberwolves are expected to upset the Lakers at home and end their 10-game winning streak."
"hiss...Your idea is very bold."
Yes.
A very bold idea, but this is also the scene that countless Timberwolves fans at home think about again and again in their hearts during the intermission.
Soon, the last quarter came.
As always, the substitutes rotated first, but......In just 3 minutes, all starters from both teams returned.
The final battle started early
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
"Uh-huh!"
LaVine made a three-pointer from the left corner, Wiggins made a turnaround jumper after a post-up shot, and Towns beat Jokic one-on-one inside.
With Rubio's connection, the Timberwolves came up and launched a 7:0 counterattack. The wave helped the Timberwolves tie the game by 2 points and established a lead of 5 points.
However, this advantage was not yet stable.
Like a"beast", Su Hao rushed to the basket twice and scored once. a foul
"tread!"
Standing on the free throw line
"Swish!"
"Bang!"
The first free throw was made, the second one was not.
But.....The rebound was picked out by Randle. Su Hao and LaVine jumped up at the same time to grab the rebound from the left high position.
Who wins?
""Pah!"
Su Hao grabbed the rebound first.
Su Hao, who had a better jumping ability and wingspan, made up for the 5cm height difference between the two and won the"Slam Dunk Contest" last season in the jumping duel.
"Hiss~"
This scene couldn't help but make the fans in the audience twitch their mouths fiercely.
"Wow!"
Distribute the ball to Kobe who has an opportunity on one side. The latter receives the ball, opens his hand and shoots a three-pointer. The basketball draws a beautiful arc in the air.
""Shua!"
The shot went in.
In the next round, Su Hao rushed up like a reckless man again, and everyone thought he was going to attack the basket violently again.
""Swish!" He stopped suddenly at the free throw line.
In the confrontation, he pushed away the"health-conscious" Wiggins who seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and chose to shoot a mid-range shot, and it was an open shot.
This shot?
""Shua!" also hit.
Su Hao's mid-range shooting ability is average, but......If he is given an open position, he still has a relatively good hit rate.
So.
Under Su Hao's leadership, an 8:0 wave returned to the Timberwolves, allowing the Lakers to regain a 3-point lead......Wiggins, LaVine, Towns and other talented players all exploded, which led to such a back-and-forth attack.
And.
These attacks continued until the last 37.5 seconds.
"Bang!"
LaVine missed a three-pointer.
"pity......If Zach LaVine hits this shot, the Timberwolves will lead by 5 points again, which will almost kill the game.
Lakers have the ball.
Su Hao pushes the ball over. There is not much time left. In the next attack, Su Hao must score.
The Timberwolves double-team and don't let Su Hao go straight. The Lakers......Lakers' Nikola stepped forward to provide cover, and Randle also provided cover.
What should Su Hao choose?
Charge!
Su Hao still charged forward, and used his favorite method to end the attack, and rushed into the enemy's hinterland alone.
He jumped high, Towns blocked him, and Su Hao......Wow~wow~~Su Hao folded and dodged in the air and delivered a dunk! amazing!
Towns has blocked this goal very well. Su Hao's ability to score can only be described as a talent. In addition,......Complete this dunk.
Su Hao, he also scored 48 points tonight, setting a new career scoring record."
O'Neal explained passionately.
Barkley was also very excited and shouted:"Su Hao's dunk against Towns gave the Lakers a full 4-point advantage.
And there are 22.4 seconds left.
Su Hao......He used a folding dunk to kill the game and let the Timberwolves, who had been outburst for the whole game, fall short!!!"
