you are all star

Chapter 276
In two consecutive games, the Timberwolves successfully helped the team win with Neil's incredible performance at critical moments. After two games in Minneapolis, Neal became a household hero in two nights. His movements are sought after by many fans, and the supply of jerseys and shorts in this city is also in short supply. More and more businessmen are looking for him to advertise. In order to train his parents for their hard work, he told his parents to let them stay at home. Then, he can earn money to support his family.

But his parents told him they couldn't sit still.

In the end, he also understood that his parents are such restless people. It would be unnatural for them to stay at home all day. In desperation, he compromised, but he asked his parents not to get up early and go out late, because every day When they get up early and go out late at night to make a little money, he feels very guilty.

The parents think that their son has basically gained a foothold in the Timberwolves now, and the most important thing for his son now is his playing state. If he feels guilty because they always leave early and return late, it will affect his state on the court. It may affect his rising career, so he promised his son that he would not leave early and return late.

In many things in life, ideas can never keep pace with changes. Sometimes even though ideas are beautiful, changes become cruel after beauty.

After Neal ushered in the explosion of two consecutive games, but two days later, in the game against the Rockets, Neal didn't know what happened that day, he just couldn't make a shot, and the first half of the game was coming to an end , and he has been on the bench for seven or eight minutes, and he took four shots, but zero.

At this time, the parents were most flustered, followed by himself, and the coach.

But no matter how flustered, no feeling, no state, no feeling, panic is useless, so I have to be like a fan, bite the bullet, be patient, and give Neil a little more chance to find his state. His heart is always full of hope or disappointment. However, hope is slightly greater than disappointment at this moment.

Because of Neal's poor performance in the first half, the coach didn't dare to use him anymore and put him on the bench.

The purpose is to let him look at other teammates. If his substitutes are better than him and more accurate than him, as a coach, if you don’t use such a player and use a player who can’t score, then the outside world will say he is a fool. Therefore, he didn't dare to use Neil anymore for the time being, because many fans off the field were already whispering, pointing fingers, and talking about it.

Because of Neil's abnormal performance in the last game, after halftime, the Rockets led by 2 points. While fighting again, after Neal was pressed on the bench, another substitute on the bench was extremely accurate. In the past four rounds .Got two shots, made two shots, scored four points in [-] minutes, and assisted Garnett once, and played a [-]-[-] spurt with Garnett to narrow the score to only six points .

The Rockets coach is very cautious, because since the Timberwolves selected Garnett, the record has been very good in the past two or three years and cannot be missed.

So, the Rockets coach stood up from his seat and repeatedly emphasized the players: "Defense, defend...", in addition to emphasizing, he also raised his right hand and spread his five fingers.

The player glanced at the coach's gesture and immediately understood what was going on.

In an instant, five players help defend, switch defenses, retreat, and counter-run. Whoever is closer to the attacker will take the lead in filling the position and defending the opponent.

As soon as the coach of the Rockets stretched out his five fingers, the players understood it. All of them cooperated with the coach's tactical arrangements, actively moved around, and did not miss a single flaw. The overall defense of the team immediately improved.

Garnett's shots were greatly restricted, from four shots in the past to only two in the ten rounds, and the team's offensive firepower declined rapidly. In the past ten rounds, only six points were scored, while the opponent But he got ten points, which is much better than them.

The Timberwolves coach had no choice but to call a timeout. After some adjustments, the players understood what tactics the Rockets coach used, but they still didn't think of a solution. However, what the coach repeatedly emphasized was to learn from them. The first tactic is pick-and-roll cooperation plus anti-running and defensive screens. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of collective basketball, plus moving screens.

In desperation, the coach put Neil on the field again after some deliberation, and whispered to Neil: "No matter how you performed before, that is in the past. People must learn to look forward and don't stay in the past. It’s hard to let go of it, and if you do, your basketball career will be very difficult, and I hope you understand.”

Neil nodded, looked around at everyone in the audience, and walked onto the court with a smile on his face to give high fives to his teammates.

The teammates stared at Neil for a while, and Garnett took the lead and patted him on the shoulder, seemingly entrusting Neal with the victory of the game.

Neil also instantly felt the responsibility on his shoulders. Since the opponents believed in him so much and the coach valued him so much, and if it wasn't because of him in the first half, the team probably wouldn't be so far behind the opponent. Therefore, he gritted his teeth, I gave each teammate a shallow hug, and whispered: "It's okay, I can lose, but I can't lose confidence and courage, come on!"

As soon as Neil finished speaking, Garnett raised his hand, calling on all the players on the field, and took the lead in shouting slogans: "Come on, come on...you must win, you must win..."

Back from the halftime break, everyone in the Timberwolves looked like real wolves, fully demonstrating the wildness and unity of the wolf. They passed when they needed to pass, and attacked when they needed to attack. They slowly approached the score, but at the end of the third quarter, they were still [-] behind their opponents. as many points.

It's just that they have seen a glimmer of hope at this moment, and the credit has to be attributed to Neal, because Neal was really invincible after he came up in the second half, able to attack, shoot, and pass. Under his leadership, he played a [-]-to-[-] spurt. The Rockets had nothing to do with him. You said that the help defense double-teamed him. Garnett also had no choice but to defend alone. Unable to guard against Neil, in desperation he could only bite the score by fouling, trying to drag the suspense to the end, the decisive moment.

As the time of the game drew closer, the physical strength of the players on both sides was on the upper limit trend, but both sides wanted to win, and if they wanted to win, they had to hold on to the score and try their best to win.

Since the point difference in the game started from the second half of the third quarter, both sides were evenly matched, and the score always rose alternately by two to three points. Therefore, the hearts of the players and coaches of both sides were hanging.

Since this game is at the Rockets' home court, the closer the game time is, the louder the voices in the arena are, but the voices are "the Rockets must win", "defense", "shoot", and "explode the Wolves". .

But the Timberwolves, who were on the disadvantaged side, heard all kinds of discriminatory words from the fans off the court. Garnett and Neal led their teammates to make a final fight and slapped them hard on the mouth.

With wildness and bloodiness, they are like a pack of hungry wolves. They take a look at the point difference on the scoreboard, they are five points behind, and there is only 1 minute left in the game. If they can't defend, let the opponent attack After scoring a few goals, the game is over. The most important thing for them now is to grab a three-pointer, and then, another three-pointer to kill the opponent.

Because if they want to win, they need to be very energetic, defend their opponents, and be steady.

The players on both sides were very nervous, but the Rockets led by five points. They firmly believed that there was no suspense in this game, and one minute was not enough. Therefore, they were not so nervous.

But the Timberwolves are different. Except for Garnett and Neal, the other three players are very nervous. After all, this is someone else's territory, there is no home court advantage, and the score is behind.

Neal advanced with the ball, near the midfield, under the siege and interception, and distributed the ball to Garnett. Garnett caught the ball and dunked the opponent hard. In less than a second, the score was reduced to two points.

The fans off the field suddenly felt a little lost. Just now, the two plus one, as if it hit their hearts, they were slightly taken aback, praying not to lose.

It was the Rockets' turn to attack. Due to the strong defensive strength of the Wolves, the key attack did not score when there was not much time left. The Wolf King grabbed the rebound and sent a long pass to the frontcourt. Neil, Neil looked back at the moon and saw the flying basketball, then glanced at the pursuer who was five or six meters away from him, caught the ball, took the ball and advanced to the free throw line and took a step, received the ball and dodged to the left, The chaser was easily swayed by him, he raised the ball with his right hand, jumped high and made a gliding dunk.

This dunk put the Rockets' home momentum down, and the fans no longer dared to talk trash.

After the goal was scored, the Rockets felt a little bit of fear, as if they had seen the omen of losing.

When it was their turn to organize, they still wanted to delay the time and try to score the ball as much as possible, but the ball didn't follow people's wishes, failed to hit, grabbed the rebound, and was slapped away by Garnett's cap.

The ball fanned beyond the three-point line, Neil jumped up to catch the flying ball, and passed it long pass to his teammate who was running down fast. In 0.6 seconds, the Rockets just received the serve. When the time was up, the game ended. The Timberwolves narrowly beat the Rockets with two points.

Although Neil was in poor form in the first half and did not score a point, after some adjustments, he scored in double figures with his outstanding performance in the second half, helping the team win and becoming the biggest contributor to the team's comeback.
