Compared with the intensive schedule in January, February is undoubtedly much easier. There are a total of 13 games in February, and there is an All-Star weekend for rest in the middle. 13 games are placed in a whole month, which is really much looser. up.
The most fortunate thing for the Timberwolves boys is that most of their opponents in February are Eastern teams, and there are not many outstanding players. news.
On February 2, the first day of the month ushered in the challenge of the New York Knicks. The Timberwolves defeated the Eastern underdog Knicks at home without any suspense.
That night, the New York Knicks showed a strong offensive nature. They played chaotically without any rules, which fully proved what is meant by a random fight. They once won the game, but unfortunately they were taken away by a wave of counterattacks by the Timberwolves. .
At the beginning of the game, Li Shihao scored 4 points in the opening game and succeeded in two outside jump shots. Chris Duhon obviously had limited defensive ability and couldn't prevent Li Shihao's outside jump shots. Feel a little helpless.
This is the mess left by the management of the New York Knicks. Who knows who bewitched him to come to the ghost team of the New York Knicks. It is a mess.
Every time D'Antoni the mustache sees the team's starting point guard Chris Duhon being blown out of his body by the opponent's player on the court, the mustache wants to shake the tactical board and quit.
D'Antoni really wanted to point to Donnie Walsh's nose and ask him, with a defensive point guard like Chris Duhon, would you expect him to lead the New York Knicks to play run-and-gun tactics to save the market?
Fortunately, the other players in the New York Knicks were not too useless. Chandler and David Lee succeeded in attacking the inside, which opened up the situation for the Knicks. Generally speaking, they all know how to play, and their shots are more accurate than one, and the offensive frenzy begins.
The score quickly surpassed the leading Timberwolves. Under such an offensive frenzy, even Chris Duhon also received a buff. He made two outside jumpers and scored 4 points, avoiding the embarrassing situation of 0 points in the first half .
The Timberwolves obviously had no good way to face the crazy New York Knicks in the first half, so they had to shrink their defense and adopt the simplest method, man-to-man, and did not give the Knicks players on the field a chance to catch the ball and attack.
Although this trick is simple, it is extremely practical, especially for a team like the Knicks without a clear tactical system. Without the chance to win in chaos, the gangsters of the New York Knicks suddenly have no use for them. , The efficiency of forced shots is also not good, 20 shots were exchanged for 8 hits, the situation is obviously not satisfactory.
The Timberwolves took advantage of this wave of opportunities to overtake again and returned to the leading position. Who would have thought that with 2 minutes and 11 seconds left before the end of the first half, the Knicks convulsed again. The outside shot was steadily hit, and the touch was extremely hot. He scored six points in a row and narrowed the score gap to 2 points.
In the end, the Timberwolves temporarily took a two-point lead at 56:54, ending the first-half showdown.
Tonight's Italian boy Gallinari was obviously a little excited, even overly excited. In the first half, he scored 18 points by himself and only took 13 shots. Obviously, he had a good shooting percentage. Made a few strongman moves, leaving a lot of shots for the reporters on the sidelines.
After the start of the second half, the Knicks took the lead in starting the offensive trend. Gallinari continued his excellent performance in the first half and made a mid-range jumper as soon as he came on the court.
David Lee can't sit still anymore. He is the biggest star in the New York Knicks now. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the leader of the team. The team's younger brother Gallinari has exploded. How can he sit still? live.
For this reason, David Lee kept asking for the ball. Seeing this, Chris Duhon naturally would not refuse to give it. He was eager to pass the basketball in his hand. Seeing the team leader asking for the ball, he was naturally full of joy.
You have to know that the Chinese guy who is facing you doesn't know how to practice. He has average wingspan, but the speed of his shots is as fast as lightning. If you can't maintain the strong attention of the whole field when you are in position, you will be miserable.
David Lee didn't ask for the ball for nothing. His playing IQ is still good. The New York media often praised him as an underestimated inside player. In fact, this is true.
At least on the offensive end, David Lee can indeed do a lot for the team. This season, David Lee can average 20+10 per game. This is not all in garbage time, but it still has some real gold content .
There are not so many teams in the league who are kind enough to give you data!
David Lee is very good at finding opponents on the offensive end. He clearly understands that on the defensive end, Marc Gasol and Kevin Love are better to deal with. As soon as he received the ball, he aimed at Kevin Love.
The footsteps under the basket are extremely flexible. With one turn, Love is left behind, and he hooks directly under the basket. The shot from close range has a high hit rate. It is not a problem for the basketball to roll into the basket.
This wave of offensive tide directly suspended the Timberwolves. Coach Frank Vogel obviously understood that the state of the New York Knicks tonight was abnormal, at least for them.
It is necessary to limit the performance of the New Yorkers on the offensive end, at least let their offensive feel cool down, otherwise let them continue to play like this, it is really hard to say who will win the final victory.
There is no weak team in the NBA. Even the 72-win Bulls team led by Michael Jordan lost to weak teams. Even random punches can kill the master, let alone a crazy team like the Knicks.
Under the instruction of head coach Frank Vogel, Li Shihao Brewer strengthened the outside running and marking, and always paid attention to Gallinari's movements. Obviously, the Italian is in good condition tonight and has already attracted Frank Vogel's attention. force.
David Lee on the inside also received special treatment. Once the son of New York got the ball, he would receive double-team treatment and not give him enough offensive space to display.
David Lee, who has nowhere to go, can only force his shots, and the result is naturally not ideal. Most of the basketballs are shot out of the frame. This makes David Lee, who was so powerful before, a little frustrated. At least now he has not become an inside player with a killer .
He is still a long way from top power forwards like Duncan and Garnett.
In the end, the New York Knicks failed to set off a counterattack trend, and the Timberwolves won the game without any risk, ending the game with a score of 119:109.
The scores of both teams were very high, and there were not many scoring feasts staged in the game, which made many fans who bought tickets to watch the game very enjoyable.
