Chapter 514

"Jermaine, take a good rest!" During the timeout of the first quarter, Rick Carlisle very rarely walked to Jermaine O'Neal's side in person, because Rick Carlisle had a very rare encounter with Jermaine O'Neal in the first quarter. I was very satisfied with the performance in the last few minutes of the game. After comforting Jermaine O'Neal, Rick Carlisle turned his attention to Meng Xu. You must know that Rick Carlisle talked to Jermaine O'Neal I have talked many times, but Jermaine O'Neal is still going his own way, refusing to change his style of play according to his own requirements. However, in today's game, Meng Xu just yelled at Jermaine O'Neal twice. The voice, Jermaine O'Neal has really changed, which also makes Rick Carlisle feel a sense of frustration while being excited. There is still a certain distance for this group of arrogant soldiers to truly accept it. Even so, Rick Carlisle is also confident enough that as long as he gives himself enough time, he will be able to truly subdue this group of guys in front of him.

Although the main lineup of the Timberwolves played on par with the Pacers, and even led the Pacers by two points at the end of the first quarter, when the substitute lineups of both sides came on the field, even the Timberwolves still left Sprewell and the Pacers. Szczerbiak is the two main players, but the Timberwolves' bench lineup inevitably fell into a disadvantage when facing the old Pacers. When the second quarter was officially suspended, the point difference between the two sides Not only was it all wiped out, but the Pacers even overtook the score.

After experiencing the frenzy in the first quarter, Kevin Garnett obviously started to stop playing when he re-entered the court after the official timeout. Compared with strength, today's game will definitely go to the fourth quarter, or even the last minute to decide the winner. Therefore, it is very necessary to allocate physical strength reasonably. Therefore, in the remaining time of the second quarter Here, Garnett hardly took any shots on the offensive end, but most of the time, Garnett was supporting his teammates around him, attracting work such as defense.

And Meng Xu is similar to Garnett. Now Meng Xu has basically adapted to driving his teammates in the first three quarters, and then stepped up to take over the game according to the situation in the fourth quarter. And for the Pacers, Meng Xu is the most threatening It's not his all-round scoring ability without dead ends, but Meng Xu's ability to tear apart the opponent's defense and his omnipotent passing vision. As long as Meng Xu is willing, once his teammates have an opportunity on the court, Meng Xu can be very accurate. Pass the basketball into their hands. Therefore, when Meng Xu puts his energy into organizing the team, the Pacers also become smoother on the offensive end. It seems that except for Meng Xu, all other Pacers players are Meng Xu beneficiaries of this approach.

"Today's game is really a bit weird. As the core of Timberwolves and Pacers, Meng Xu and Garnett have little desire to attack in the second quarter. Both of them put their energy on the defensive end and organizing the team's offense. On the one hand, this kind of scene is really rare!" The Pacers and Timberwolves still played inextricably on the court, but after seeing that Garnett and Meng Xu basically didn't take much shots on the offensive end, Scott- Skiles also showed a surprised expression.

"Kevin's performance in the second quarter is indeed different from before." Magic Johnson is already very familiar with Meng Xu's style of play this season, and he is very familiar with Meng Xu, who is more and more like himself. Style, Magic Johnson is very appreciated.But for Garnett's performance today, Magic Johnson was a little surprised. Although after Garnett reduced the number of shots, the Timberwolves' offense was not smooth for a time, but Magic Johnson could also see it. Nate really wanted to win this game. His current actions must be accumulating energy for the next game and preparing for taking over the game at a critical moment.

When the halftime game ended, amidst the boos of the fans, the Pacers players on the field walked into the player channel with a score of 47 to 44.Today's game is undoubtedly a very critical game for the Timberwolves. If the Timberwolves win, they will end the Pacers' winning streak and also reach the No. [-] position in the Western Conference. These Timberwolves fans, after halftime, obviously did not have the confidence they had before the game started.

Because throughout the second quarter, the performance of the Timberwolves from the beginning to the end was not ideal. The substitute lineup could not beat the Pacers.

"Randy, what changes do you think the two teams will make in the second half?" After all the players of the two teams walked into the player tunnel, several commentators on the scene also began to discuss and predict the game between the two sides in the second half trend.

In fact, it is mainly the prediction of the Timberwolves. After all, the Pacers' tactics have hardly changed since the beginning of this season. Judging from the current situation on the court, the Pacers have gradually gained the upper hand. There is almost no possibility of a change in the second half, and the Timberwolves must make certain changes.

"Today's game was played like this, which is actually expected. Judging from the situation on the field, the two teams are very well prepared for today's game, so both sides must have done it well in advance. Sufficient plans, as for how to change, I personally think that Kevin Garnett must stand out in the third quarter. If he is still like the second quarter, the Timberwolves will definitely be beaten by the Pacers in the third quarter. "In Randy Whitman's view, the current Timberwolves do have the strength to challenge the Pacers, but the Timberwolves are still slightly inferior to the Pacers in terms of personnel configuration, and the biggest difference is that there are more Pacers. A Jermaine O'Neal, whether on the offensive or defensive end, Jermaine O'Neal can share a lot of pressure for Meng Xu.On the other hand, the Timberwolves, although the overall strength is also very strong, but the Timberwolves lack a qualified second-in-chief, a player who can share the pressure and take responsibility for Garnett. This is why, even if Meng Xu does not make a move, the Pacers can still play. It's very smooth, and as long as Garnett stops playing, the Timberwolves will encounter various difficulties on the offensive end.

"I hope the Timberwolves will make some changes in the third quarter, otherwise it will not be so easy for them to win this game." After Randy Whitman finished speaking, Scott Skiles added another sentence.

However, this group of commentators discussed for a long time. After the intermission, the Timberwolves did not make any changes in the lineup and tactics. Instead, they simply and rudely continued to deploy all the main lineup, and used the main lineup to face the Pacers. Substitute lineup, but they also had the right thing to predict, that is, Garnett really became active again after the start of the third quarter.

Philip Sanders' simple and rude method has also received good results. The Pacers' old ball ruffians are obviously a little bit powerless when they face the Timberwolves' main lineup, especially when Garnett starts to play hard. After the game, neither the 37-year-old champion Derek Coleman nor Jeff Foster could guard Garnett. Most of the main players were replaced, but facing the already rising Timberwolves, the Pacers still couldn't find a way to suppress the Timberwolves for a while. When the third quarter ended, 3 to 71, the Timberwolves overtook again score.
