The King of the NBA

The Timberwolves swept the Mavericks 4:0, and the other teams in the Western Conference did not drag on for too long. The Warriors defeated the Spurs 4:2, the Rockets defeated the Grizzlies 4:1, the Clippers defeated the Blazers 4:2, Qiqi advanced to the second round.

On the eastern side, the Cavaliers did not blaze, swept the Nets, and there was no suspense. LeBron James was still strong in the Cavaliers and completely informed the game. In addition, the Eagles defeated the Celtics and the Bulls defeated the Bucks. There was no accident. The four Raptors lost to the Wizards 3:4 and were defeated by the Wizards to complete the counterattack.

　　 Of course, there is no big difference between the fourth and fifth.

　　 When the first round ended, the second round of the playoffs soon began, the Timberwolves ushered in the first game with the Rockets at home.

　　 “The Rockets are not an easy team to deal with, we must go all out.” Adelman’s expression was solemn, and the opponents commanded: “Never take it lightly.”

“Yes.”

　　 “Understood.”

　　 All the players responded.

　　 Subsequently, Adelman spread out the tactical board and began to arrange tactics.

　　 Not far away, the Rockets coach Kevin McHale is also arranging tactics. Adelman did not dare to underestimate the Rockets. McHale did not dare to underestimate the Timberwolves. In the regular season, the two sides played twice, and the Rockets all lost.

“Wait for us to fight this way…” McHale spread out the tactical board, arranged some tactics, and then urged: “Remember, we must guard against peace and guard against him, we will win half. And , Play more inside, Howard must open this point.”

　　 Judging from the lineup, the Rockets and the Timberwolves still have some gaps.

The Timberwolves’ current lineup has few weaknesses and is comparable to the Warriors. Although the Rockets have James Harden and Dwight Howard, the combination of the two of them may not be able to beat Ning Yi + Love, at least In terms of scoring ability, Howard is still inferior.

　　 Because of this, McHale requires Howard to hit this point. If he can’t open this point, it’s hard to beat the Timberwolves by James Harden alone.

　　 “beep……”

Game start.

　　 In the audience, the home fans were warm and cheered for the Timberwolves.

　　 Last season, the Timberwolves stopped in the second round and failed to reach the Western Conference finals. It is regrettable and regrets to the fans. This season, the Timberwolves have made a comeback, and countless fans are looking forward to their arrival in the Western Conference finals.

　　 “Offense!”

The Timberwolves got the ball, Ning Yi shouted, and quickly rushed to the Rockets half. Rubio saw that Ning Yi had reached the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball. Martin landed on the three-point line at the corner and Love came to another. On one side, Dion ran inside.

　　 In the next moment, Ning Yi made a breakthrough fake action, directly pulled out, and shot abruptly.

“boom!”

　　 It’s a pity that this ball was not able to score.

　　Howard scored a rebound and passed it to Harden.

The Rockets started with Dwight Howard, Terrence Jones, Trevor Ariza, James Harden, Jason Terry. Although Terry No. 1 is actually responsible for the organization most of the time The man is Harden. Harden tried it after reaching the frontcourt. Seeing that the chance was not good, he passed the ball to Terry, Terry scored a point, and passed to Ariza. Ariza made a three-pointer shot and did not enter.

　　 At the beginning, the two sides failed to make a three-pointer and adjusted their rhythm. The Timberwolves began to play according to tactics, giving the ball to Love and letting him play Jones alone.

　　 Love has a singles, Jones has the advantage, has entered two consecutive, for the Timberwolves 4:0 start.

But soon the Rockets also used the color to play inside. Harden and Howard made a pick-and-roll and passed it to Howard. Howard swayed a bit and deceived the defense of Love. Jumping is a dunk. .

　　 After this dunk, Howard seemed to find the sensation and scored consecutive points in the paint, but within a short time, he had already scored 6 points in the paint.

　　 Moreover, Howard is a threat to the Timberwolves on the inside. In addition, he also has a strong rebounding ability, so in a few minutes, the Rockets actually took the advantage.

　　 “beep……”

　　 Adelman called a timeout.

　　 After the players came down, Adelman replaced him, replaced Love and Rubio, and then instructed: “Wait with foul tactics, howard can’t make Howard play too easily inside.”

　　……

　　 Soon, the pause ends.

　　 returned to the field, the Timberwolves began to use foul tactics.

　　 fouled Howard. This was used in the Timberwolves during the regular season. It is also used by other teams. It is similar to the “shark hacking tactic”, because it is known that Howard does not make free throws.

　　 But unexpectedly, Howard’s free throws were not bad today. The Timberwolves made two consecutive fouls on him. Howard actually made 4 free throws and 3 hits. His shooting percentage reached 75%.

“Snapped!”

　　 is another foul.

　　 Howard took the free throw line and made two free throws. It was amazing. This is incredible. When Howard’s free throws became so good, 6 of 5 free throws!

　　 Seeing this, Adelman is also a little speechless. This is not Howard’s regular operation, and he doesn’t know what he ate before he came today. The free throws are so accurate that they are almost catching up with the defenders.

　　 “No need to continue.” Adelman gestured, giving up “foul tactics”.

　　 Howard has such a high free throw percentage, and then continue to “cut” down the gains. What’s more, this is only the first quarter. Too many accumulated fouls are bad for the Timberwolves.

　　 “Foul Tactics” failed~www.mtlnovel.com~ The score was behind, Ning Yi frowned secretly, and opened the scoring mode.

　　 The Rockets still can’t stop Ning Yi. Although Ariza is also a good player in letting go, Ning Yi’s scoring method is too much. Eighteen martial arts are exchanged, which makes Ariza headache.

　　 But Harden is also in good shape today, Ning Yi can score, he can also score, the Rockets can not prevent Ning Yi, the Timberwolves can not look at Harden, his score almost offset Ning Yi’s score.

　　 And the difference between the two sides is getting bigger and bigger.

The Rockets are leading more and more, because Howard seems to be playing chicken blood today. He is like a **** of war inside. He has rebounds and blocks. He is particularly sharp on the offensive end. Dion has good athleticism and height. But the physical confrontation is far worse than Howard.

　　Under Harden’s guidance, Howard dunked again and again, raging the Timberwolves’ basket.

Of course, the most incredible thing is Howard’s free throw. He played more than eight minutes in the first quarter. Howard made 7 of 8 free throws. Even if the Rockets fans are a little bit confused, I have never seen such Howard. This is not like It’s Howard!

　　 “7 of 8 free throws, hell.” Ning Yi Tucao, also a little speechless.

　　 Adelman smiled and shook his head bitterly, called for a timeout, replaced Ning Yi, and began to put on the rotation lineup.
