Chapter 284 Three plus one lore Mavericks
In the dark, everything seemed to be arranged. Neil wandered in several cities. He originally wanted to play the best sixth man, but who would have expected Brandon to retire from injury, and the test result was The ankle was broken and he was reimbursed for the season. After negotiation between the team owner and the management, it was decided to let Neal fill Brandon's vacancy, start the game, observe a few games, and then decide whether he is suitable for starting.

Now there is a great opportunity to show his tail. Whether he can seize it depends on Neal's luck. The team owner, team management and coach decided to test him with the upcoming game against the Mavericks.

Because at present, after being traded to Minneapolis, Neal's overall performance is not bad, but his state is occasionally unstable.

If he can play at a super high level in the game against the Mavericks, when facing the Mavericks with Nowitzki, he will at least help the team win again , like the previous game, despite Brandon's injury and retirement, the team was not affected at all, and won the game without any risk. In this game, Neal scored in double figures for the first time since coming to the Timberwolves. The outside world is particularly optimistic about him. He plays better game after game, and most of the balls, most of them are big heart balls. Although he is the third or fourth highest scoring player on the team, he just makes up for the team's shortcomings. .

Neal was very happy to receive the team's adjustment of him from the bench to the starting position, but he also felt a lot of pressure. Therefore, after receiving the information, he told his parents without thinking, and went to play with his beloved basketball gymnasium practice ball.

In fact, too often, Neil wanted to throw the ball away, so he stopped practicing, but when he thought of himself as the No. This is the chance to prove myself, I have no choice but to grit my teeth and fight hard.

In many cases, no effort, no gain, Neil practiced hard every day, and got his proof in the game against the Mavericks.

Neil originally thought that he hadn't played a game in a few years, and it would be very uncomfortable to start again, but who knows, he started the game, and the team won the first wave of jump ball right after the game started.

Neal played the point guard, and the coach made tactical arrangements before they entered the court, so that they always had a limited offense around Garnett, and the rest of the offense was empty.

Whenever he goes into battle in uniform, Neil clearly understands that basketball is a sport that requires a super high IQ. If you only use your limbs to fight, then it may be just an imagination to win the game. In the end, if you win, it may be With good luck, it may be a big-name star with a super high IQ on the team.

Therefore, in every game, Neil treats people with heart and brain with his heart and brain, but he has never had the opportunity to prove that he is a high-level golfer. Now that he has the opportunity, he must seize the opportunity to prove himself.

As a result, Neil began to cooperate with Garnett in tactics. When he was holding the ball, he dribbled the ball forward with one hand, waved his hand to instruct his teammates to disperse, and pointed at the defender in front of him with his fingers. , Then, a teammate closest to him quickly moved over to cover for him, Neil followed the trend, the opponent knew that Neil was a sharp attacking kid, and he couldn't let go, and seeing Neil's offensive momentum, he seemed to be attacking the basket rhythm, Therefore, the defender defending Garnett actively came up to make up the defense, but Neil, who had a high ball quotient, did not have the slightest selfishness or hesitation, but played a fake move to divert the defender's attention, and then decisively passed the ball Passing back to Garnett regardless of the person, Garnett saw the ball flying from behind Neil, and caught it with great coherence. The action was very fast and he gave the fans a dunk with both hands smashing the basket.

The fans immediately erupted, clapping and shouting Garnett's name, Neil's name, and shouting: "Wolves must win, Wolf King, MVP...Neil, come on!"

The team fired first, and the teammates present were very happy, and hurriedly came over with a smile and gave Neil and Garnett high-fives to congratulate.

Garnett patted Neal with his right hand when he passed by Neil during the retreat, and praised Neal with a sincere, natural, undisguised smile: "Brother, good job, continue." ..."

Neil nodded with a smile. In the process of actively retreating, Garnett's words of praise echoed in his mind. He seemed to be greatly encouraged. After the first attack, he played more actively. The defense is also more active.

He and Garnett scored points one after another, playing the Mavericks really like the Mavericks. In front of the wolves, they have no fighting power, which can be said to be vulnerable. Fortunately, the Mavericks have Nowitzki to help the team win. Four points, otherwise it is very likely that there is still no point.

The coach of the Mavericks saw that the game had already started for 3 minutes, and the team had only scored four points in total, while the Timberwolves had scored in double figures.

If we continue to fight like this, we will enter the training time ahead of time, garbage time?No, I have to ask someone to rearrange their tactics, suppress Garnett and Neal, and stop them from being so arrogant.

He hurriedly asked for a timeout, arranged tactics for the players, and how to defend Garnett and Neal.

After a timeout and adjustment, the Timberwolves coach saw through the Mavericks' next tactical arrangement. He directly replaced the two and asked them to rest. Because the offense would be very troublesome after the opponent found a breakthrough, so the coach had no choice but to do so.

Fans off the court were very puzzled, why did Garnett and Neal play so well together, and suddenly they were no longer there?
The Mavericks coach didn't know whether to be sad or happy when he saw this scene. In short, the coach of the Wolves deserves to be the best coach ever, and every step he took was under his control. On the court, if you want to tear through their defense, you only need to simply assist in defense, cover, double-team, point guard breaks through with the ball to attract the defense, and then distribute the ball to the corner of the side, directly making them helpless, and can easily put them blow up.

Since the Wolves didn't have Garnett and Neal, he stood up and made three gestures with the players around him, one was to spread five fingers, one was to cross his hands upwards, and the other was to cross his hands downwards.

The players understood and changed the formation quickly in the offense, so that the Wolves players could not keep up. No matter how they defended, there were loopholes. It was also like cheating, scoring consecutive points and never giving the Wolves a chance, especially Nowitzki, who had already scored [-] points during the absence of Garnett and Neal, plus four assists, leading the team to win The score was overtaken.

But the coach of the Wolves was very courageous and did not call a timeout. He firmly believed that the players would be able to bite the score. Therefore, he did not send Garnett and Neal on the field immediately, but left them until the decisive moment of the second half, because the team It is not necessarily a good thing for Yong to be in a smooth environment. Occasionally, he has to learn to grow in an environment with headwinds, so that the team's ability to resist pressure will improve, and the overall strength will also improve, especially soft power. .

The coach tried this way, and the team ended the first half, trailing the opponent by [-] points. Many fans began to be dissatisfied and complained. Many fans scolded the coach and asked him to refund the ticket. It was originally to see Garnett and Neal. What is the intention of the player who played the game but put Garnett and Neal on the bench?But the coach still stood up calmly and waved to them, telling them not to worry, be patient, the game is still long, and the outcome is unpredictable.

Back from the break in the second half, the problems that the Mavericks had before had not been resolved, so when Garnett and Neal returned to the back court at the same time, the Mavericks still had nothing to do with them, both of whom were versatile. The players who can attack, shoot, defend, and are stable, double-team and help defense, they just pass the ball, don't head-to-head, and play with their IQ.

After a wave of attacks of [-] to [-], the point difference reached single digits, and the third quarter of the game was only one-third past.

The coach of the Mavericks didn't know what to do, because the tactic that was studied before for the two players was at the upper limit of physical strength of all the players at the moment, while Garnett and Neil's physical strength was at the lower limit, so it didn't work. I didn't dare to use it, so I had to spend time with them and slow down the rhythm.

But it’s not that they are going slow if they want to. They have to ask the Wolves if they agree. The Wolves didn’t agree at the time in order to win, so they still rushed because they had many players available and they were not afraid.

However, after several onslaughts by Garnett and Neal of the Wolves, their limbs became sore and weak, and after the upper limit of their physical strength, the Mavericks coach used the tactics previously designed to deal with Garnett and Neal.

All of a sudden, the team came alive again, biting the score until the fourth quarter with 20 seconds left before the end of the game. The players are extremely nervous, and the fans are even more nervous. Some hope for overtime, and some hope for a lore, but it is unknown what exactly.

The Wolves came back from a short timeout. Garnett served the ball, and under the interference of the opponent, he delivered the ball steadily to Neal. Neal delayed the time while avoiding mistakes as much as possible. Neil, it's not worth it, because he was too accurate in free throws today, and he hasn't missed a single one.

But their coach saw that there was only 12 seconds left. If he hesitated, the outcome would be even worse. There was no chance for the last attack. Therefore, the point guard defending Neal rushed to Neil to cut the ball after receiving the coach's instructions. But Neil saw that the opponent was about to rush to foul, so he slowed down a little bit, retreated beyond the three-point line, and waited for the defender to come to touch him. Consciously leaning forward, his body collided with the defender who was blocking the shot, and he forced a three-point shot.

Everyone's eyes moved with the ball, but the referee's whistle sounded in the silence, watching the ball in silence.

The ball passed through the air, then drew close to the basket, bumped a bit in the basket, and bumped into it.

The arena suddenly boiled, and the entire arena was surrounded by a voice: "Wow... Neil, our God! Three plus one..."

In order to prevent overtime, Neal made a free throw under tremendous pressure. They led by four points, and the opponent had only eight seconds left.

In the end, the Mavericks failed to add three plus one, and lost the game that has been left in suspense until the end.
