Chapter 272

Garnett just said that he wanted to partner with Neal, and the coach immediately adjusted his tactics and employment arrangements.Replace the No. [-] and No. [-] scorers who were starting on the field before, let them rest first, and then take advantage of the timeout to re-arrange Garnett and another starter.

The coaching staff of the Celtics saw that the Timberwolves had changed their main force again, so they had to replace Pierce and the main force again to prevent the fourth quarter from entering the training time.

Pierce and the team's No. 8 scorer returned to the field again, and the entire team immediately revived with offensive firepower. In four effective offensive rounds, they returned the Timberwolves 2:[-], narrowing the point difference to only four points.

Seeing that the Celtics were about to rise, the Timberwolves coach couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up from the fixed chair and fidgeted back and forth to remind them: "Concentrate and defend..."

The sound of the coach's reminder made them realize that the Celtics are about to rise. If they continue to fight like this, it seems a bit difficult to let the Celtics leave in frustration today.

Therefore, they also decided to fight back with an eye. Basketball itself is a sport that aims to make more people happy, and what fans often like to see is that the two teams always have a nail and an eye. You attack me and I try to attack. You kick me once, you dunk me once, I just want to dunk once or twice, so that the game will always maintain the feeling of heartbeat, and the game will always maintain suspense. No one can predict who will win, and the fans will not be disappointed. leave.

Based on such considerations, Garnett whispered to Neil and his teammates during the process of returning to defense: "Brother, let us show the fans a different visual experience of fighting tonight!"

After speaking, he raised his hands and gave each teammate including Neil a high five.

Neil and his teammates also cooperated with him as the big brother of the team, and nodded to him with a smile.

In fact, regardless of whether Garnett reminded him or not, Neil's hatred for the Celtics has already been deeply rooted in his heart. Whenever he is free, he will think like this: "Since you don't like me, why use the third pick again?" Sign me? Then dump me."

But now he looks down on him and despises his first old club in front of him, and wants to take victory away from the Timberwolves who have been kind to him. He doesn't care whether others agree or not. In short, he firmly cannot agree. , because this game can be regarded as a test by the Timberwolves boss to see if he is bloody, to see how wild and explosive he is in the face of humiliation, whether he can regain his dignity in front of his old club, and whether he can handle every situation that belongs to him. Whether this moment is a real big heart, this is what everyone in the Timberwolves cares about most.

Although the boss didn't say anything about today's game, he knows his situation better than anyone else. Now he is on the cliff, jumping down bravely and not afraid of death, maybe he can be reborn. If you don't dare to jump down, you will be doomed.

For him, now he can only fight, and it is a fight with all his heart and effort, a fight to win steadily.

After Garnett came on the court, the four of his teammates knew very well that Garnett was their thigh, and the coach also told him that every offensive ball must revolve around him, so that the game can be played and the offense can be played By the way, because Garnett often has two or more opponents assisting in double-teaming him. In this way, there will be a short delay, and there will be empty players, and they will make good use of every delay. You will be able to win steadily.

The game continued amid waves of applause and cheers. Garnett beat Pierce hard, as if to convey a signal to him that he is the big brother of the league.

After a few nimble dribbles and an emergency stop, Pierce took a step back naturally driven by inertia. He pulled up the ball, leaned back and made a decisive shot. Pierce was also experienced in many battles. With coherent movements, Pierce immediately thought that Garnett was about to make a shot. Without thinking, he took off and blocked the shot, but the distance was a bit far, and he couldn't reach it. He saw the ball pass by his fingertips and then pass by his head. Speeding to the basket.

Pierce thought, won't he be eaten again?
Sure enough, whatever he wanted, the ball went into the net abruptly, without giving him any face.

Garnett's ball also aroused him. He wanted to talk trash at him, but he was afraid of being expelled from the field, so he could only endure it. It was just that expression, that look in his eyes, and he wanted to eat Garnett.

The coach of the Celtics has clearly realized since Pierce was ate the ball just now that Pierce cannot defend Garnett alone. It seems that he can only implement double-team defense tactics to limit opponents. Otherwise, if he wants to retreat today, It is not generally difficult, but quite difficult, very difficult, because the core players of the two sides fight against each other, and they lose.

In order to make up for it, the Celtics coach immediately called a timeout and made the latest tactical adjustments to the players on the field.

After the timeout, the Celtics seemed to have come back to life. They all seemed to be possessed by the god of basketball. Cowardly, can shoot suddenly, except for power forwards and centers, the rest can cause damage and fouls, and the offensive efficiency is extremely high. In the past ten rounds, he has successfully hit six goals in the mid-range three-pointer, including four three-pointers. , Two points, six goals and four goals, beat the Timberwolves to a 14:6 turmoil, and narrowed the point difference to one point within 4 minutes, which is the smallest difference between the two teams in the entire game.

The coaches and players of the Celtics looked at the score on the scorer to tie the score by only one point, with complacent and arrogant smiles on their faces.

Their smiles were seen and deeply remembered by Neil. He clenched his fists tightly and turned his eyes to stare at them from time to time, as if he already knew what to do.

After a timeout, they flexibly used the coach's tactics, pick and roll, break through with the ball, attract the defense, and then pass the ball to Neal, who is in charge of shooting three-pointers, and let him shoot, because he is a "parallel prospect" in the eyes of everyone. , Therefore, coaches and opponents often ignore him and choose to let him shoot. At this time, Neal's value is highlighted.

After returning from the timeout, Neil no longer ran around the three-point line, but ran in ambush at 45-degree angles, [-]-degree angles, left and right zero-degree angles, and [-]-degree angles outside the three-point line, always waiting for his teammates The ball from the penalty area.

It may be because Neil is a newcomer, he and his teammates have not yet established trust, and his teammates lack trust in him, so in many rounds, he asked for the ball at the three-point line, but his teammates refused to give it. He chose to go it alone, but the efficiency was not high. There were many mistakes, but fortunately, whenever they fell behind by two to three points, Garnett, the wolf king, would step forward and choose singles to bite the score.

Because the teammates discriminate against Neil and have prejudices, and they don’t want him to become stronger. If he becomes stronger, their status will be lost. Therefore, they would rather play four against five than pass the ball to Neil outside the three-point line. , but Garnett is different. He believed in Neal and passed the ball to Neal once, but Neal missed.

After the missed three-pointer that Garnett passed to him, his teammates looked down on him even more, and his opponents also ridiculed him, but what could he do?He can only bear it, now he has no power to fight back.

The game time is getting tighter, 1 minute, 50 seconds, 40 seconds, the opponent scored a goal and took a two-point lead.

The Celtics began to celebrate happily. Although the 40-second lore was more than enough, the person who shot the last ball needed much courage and confidence, so they thought they would win.

The Timberwolves organized an offense, and the teammates didn't dare to shoot in vain, so they had to hand over the last ball to Garnett, but Garnett was double-teamed by three or even three opponents to help defend, leaving no room for a shot.

Seeing that the time of the offensive round was running out, and he was being chased back and forth by his opponents, he urgently needed someone to stand up to share the team's worries. At this time, Neil gritted his teeth and made a gesture for the ball. Te hugged the ball tightly and looked around, looking for the person who shared his worries and the team's worries. Other teammates looked at them and said they couldn't do it, so he let him shoot, but when his eyes moved to Neal's side At that time, Neil was still gesturing for the ball from beyond the three-point line. At this time, he didn't think about anything, and passed the ball directly to Neil. Neil didn't even think about it, he caught the ball and shot decisively , The ball draws a beautiful arc in the eyes of everyone, and runs to the basket happily, only to hear "哩...", "唰...", the basketball lands, the score is overtaken, the audience cheers, shouts Neil's name, at this time, the teammates had no prejudice, and they rushed over one by one, jumping up to celebrate with him, but Neil said lightly: "The game is not over yet."

The Celtics were stunned by Neil's three-pointer just now, and at their home court, they were completely engulfed by cheers, their hearts were always beating hard, and they were extremely nervous.

In the end, the ball was still handed over to Pierce for the lore, but the ball missed and failed to complete the lore, and Neil did not expect that after more than two years, he actually reported that he had been green in Minneapolis. Shan Jun despises his hatred, kills his old club with his hands, shows no mercy, and is merciless, because he is now powerful because of their ruthlessness and indifference. Today, he has regained a little bit of dignity. Waiting for this day, He waited for more than two years, but fortunately everything was arranged in the dark.
