Chapter 56 The Terminator Strikes

Chapter 56 The Terminator Attacks

At the beginning of the third quarter, the Minnesota's manufacturer lineup began to show its power. The new lineup put out by the new coach Frank Vogel seems to be headless, but it contains deep meaning.

The main lineups of the two teams launched a fierce battle for the score in the third quarter, pulling apart and shrinking.

A trace of solemnity flashed across Charles Barkley's face. The Timberwolves were on the rise. The head coach McHale could be interested in must have something special. Now is the tactics deployed by the new Timberwolves head coach.

It works wonders!
Li Shihao and Brewer switched positions. Li Shihao played point forward, while Brewer focused on locking Chris Paul on the defensive end.

Although Li Shihao is much different from Peja of the Hornets in height, his solid foundation and excellent sense of rhythm are enough for Li Shihao to get rid of Peja's defense easily.

Peja is tall enough, but his defense is weak, and he can't make effective restrictions in the face of Li Shihao's offense. Often, Peja will be swayed in a face-to-face.

The Yugoslavian small forward is one of the outstanding tall shooters in the league, but his personal offense with the ball is not very good, and his pass control skills are not even as good as some of the second players in the league. This has always been his strength A major weakness, if he can't develop his own ball-handling skills, then his role will be limited to a spot-up shooter.

As for the No. [-] position, Brewer waving his long arms, using his quick footsteps and excellent defensive awareness, restrained Chris Paul to death. It was difficult for Queen Bee Paul to get rid of Brewer's defensive restrictions.

Today's Hornets are a veritable single-core team. Since the "boxing champion" Tyson Chandler left, the Hornets have truly become a Paul-only team. He is the core of the team, and all offensive tactics All built around this young queen bee.

When Chris Paul was restricted on the field, the Hornets' offense became sluggish. When the point guard couldn't maintain an efficient performance, the team began to become directionless. The Hornets began to retreat. Now the Hornets The team is far from being a championship team.

One person's strength is limited after all. Once the queen bee Paul is restricted, there will be no second person in the team to stand up to resist the team's offensive banner. In this state, the Hornets will go against the main lineup of the Timberwolves. It's a matter of time.

Without the Hornets, the queen bee Paul, the threat index is too low!
When the sharpest stinger on the ferocious hornet is pulled out, the only thing waiting for the hornet is dying. If the hornet team still cannot make changes, the bloodthirsty wolves will kill the hornet. Devoured.

"Everyone underestimates the Timberwolves. This team is not weaker than today's powerful teams in the league. Although their current main lineup is young and inexperienced, these young players form a perfect complement. They will defend, Offensive, low-post singles, breakthrough and other technologies are integrated together. Although what they do in some places is not as stable and outstanding as those powerful players, they are still young. Now they are already terrible. It is hard to imagine that this season is over. After that, what will happen to the Timberwolves players who have experienced it?"

"Wait for them to grow up, they will be a terrible force in the West!" Charles Barkley murmured while looking at the Timberwolves lineup on the court.

Kenny Smith nodded. He also felt the same way. Although the current Timberwolves lineup is young, this is exactly their strength. They are not lacking in creativity. They have amazing talents. The future is worth looking forward to!

Kenny Smith said: "The two teams will not play easily in this game. First of all, Chris Paul will not let the victory slip away from him easily. He will definitely try to prove himself with his personal ability again. Once he recovers, whether the Timberwolves' defense can withstand the onslaught of the queen bee is a question! And whether the Timberwolves' core Bruce Lee can stand up is also a question worth thinking about!"

"There is not much time left in the third quarter, now is the time to really test the two teams!"

With a score of 69 to 73, the Timberwolves temporarily lead the Hornets by 4 points. The leading score advantage is very weak. If you are not careful, you may be hit by a wave of counterattacks by the Hornets. Overtaking the score is only a matter of moments , still cannot be taken lightly, the suspense of the game still exists!
The ball is on the side of the Hornets. Chris Paul skillfully changes the ball in his hands, and his ball control skills are superb. Even so, he still dare not be careless when facing Brewer's defense.

Paul constantly adjusted his rhythm and center of gravity, always guarding against Brewer's sudden attack!

Paul has already deeply realized the horror of the Timberwolves' swingman in the previous contest. Brewer is just a defensive blue-collar, but his defense is really good!

The flexible long arms like apes, the lightning-fast shooting speed, and the excellent anticipation awareness allow this young forward defender to seize the opportunity from the opposing player in an instant and complete a clean game. Clean steal.

Terrible perimeter defender!That's what Paul said about Brewer!

As the rookie selected by the Timberwolves with the seventh overall pick in 07, Brewer's defensive ability was exactly what Timberwolves general manager McHale was optimistic about. He helped the University of Florida win the NCAA championship for two consecutive years. His excellent defensive ability.

It is for this reason that Corey Brewer was able to become a lottery rookie that year as an outstanding defender. You must know that the 07 draft was a veritable draft year.

"Shoutdown!" In the stands of the arena in New Orleans, some Timberwolves fans who came with the team sat sporadically in the stands. Seeing the outstanding performance of the Timberwolves, they all unanimously played signs with these words printed on them.

Charles Barkley grinned gloatingly, "The end? The great Sir Charles likes to call it this way, so that he can show his arrogance. Corey Brewer is a tough guy, and Charles likes the true nature of such a tough guy." , Chris Paul may be in some trouble!"

"Not necessarily, Charles, don't forget, any superstar is unique, they will not be completely restricted, Paul will find his way back in the future!" Kenny Smith shook his head and denied Charles Buckley's assertion.

For any team, the value of superstars is immeasurable. Many people only see their great voice in the team, but ignore their significance to the league. They belong to the strategy Level superstar!
The explosion of any superstar cannot be ignored. No team will underestimate the energy contained in a superstar. The effect of their explosion can penetrate the defenses of most teams in the league, which is no less than dropping an atomic bomb over Japan The tragic degree!
