Standing pretty old

Chapter 552

After the start of the second quarter, Timberwolves' substitute white power forward, Mike Miller, played well.

This guy is registered as 6-foot-8, but he could definitely be 6-foot-10.

He has won the best rookie and the best sixth man. The most important thing is that his three-point shooting percentage has exceeded 40% many times in the season. inside players.

I have to say that the Huskies can indeed hold a good hand, but they lack a point guard who can take care of all this.

After Miller used the pick-and-roll, he played Pachulia in consecutive singles with dislocations. As a result, he made consecutive shots from the outside, which made the Georgian quite embarrassing.

Zaza Pachulia was also unlucky. During a retreat, he accidentally had a seemingly insignificant confrontation with Miller. As a result, he sprained his wrist on the spot and had to leave the field early for treatment.

The Hawks have always been in control of the game tonight, but they always played a little awkwardly.

It seems that the offensive and defensive transition is very beautiful, but it is somewhat unfulfilling.

Ruan Erniu figured it out later, this was because the Timberwolves' lineup was to some extent incompatible with the Eagles.

In addition to three-pointers and low-post offense, the Eagles place great importance on rebound protection and fighting, and the Timberwolves have done a very good job in this regard.

Al Jefferson and Kevin Love are really slow to turn around, but they are very good on the rebound, whether it is the frontcourt or the backcourt.

Especially the frontcourt rebound, which is a key link that can directly cut off the transition of the Eagles' offense and defense. Although McHale's training tactics are of average level, he has done a good job in regulating the enthusiasm of the players.

In addition to solid basic skills in the frontcourt rebound competition, an active fighting attitude is the most important.

Both Love and Jefferson can contribute more than 6.8 offensive rebounds per game, which is currently the best offensive rebound combination in the entire league, which proves the wonder of the Timberwolves from another angle.

Ruan Erniu got anxious every few minutes after playing in the second quarter. He rarely took the initiative to ask for a short timeout, and said to Eclipse from the bench: "J-Smoove, I don't care about the offensive end, but must be XX on the defensive end. Take care of your defenders and don't lose position in the paint, you understand?"

It's rare for a Tianchao person to show such an angry side in front of other teammates.

Even Jiong Jisen, Bibby and the others were very surprised. They always thought that the Celestial Man was a kind of quiet and deep character, a guy with an outrageously high emotional intelligence.

Accusing his teammates face to face can only prove one thing, he was bullied enough by Jefferson and Kevin Ai tonight.

Lunar Eclipse didn't dare to talk back. He did miss people several times. With such a big lead, he naturally relaxed on the defensive end and played relaxed. He also likes to play the role of the second-yard shooter in the middle distance. , Although this game may not necessarily be lost, it will definitely be extremely difficult to win.

Woodson thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and finally replaced the lunar eclipse and replaced it with Birdman Anderson.

Kraft Nguyen is the current "Eagle King". Not to mention that Woodson agrees with Er Niu's views, even if he disagrees, he must protect the face of the team leader.

This is the NBA, a superstar like Ruan Erniu must have such a privilege!
The effect of this substitution was immediate.

On the defensive end of the Eagles, Telfair made an outside shot, Erniu, Birdman, and Black and White Erwolves huddled together. In the end, Erniu still relied on Birdman's blocking to block people, successfully won the backcourt rebound, and A direct long pass to the frontcourt, and Dragic scored a fast break layup.

The ensuing game completely entered the rhythm of the Eagles.

The fast and mobile offensive and defensive transitions came swiftly and violently, and the shooting percentage of the Eagles' shooters also had a beautiful rebound.

After a few rounds, the Hawks opened up the gap between the two teams with three-pointers from Salmons and Jon Jonson.

At 33:19, the Hawks led their opponents by 14 points in a single quarter, and a wave of flow dragged the game into the rhythm of the Hawks.

Chaoting Channel 5 also broadcast the game live.Zhang Lili and Yu Jia are the commentators of the game.

Zhang Lili said: "It can be seen that after the Hawks replaced Josh Smith, they played more reasonably.

They are based on defense and played high-quality counterattacks. Whenever Ruan Erniu can get a backcourt rebound, it means that the Hawks have a chance to play a beautiful offensive and defensive transition, which is unique in the league. . "

Yu Jia also said: "Many of our colleagues in the United States are saying that Ruan Erniu is re-structuring people's understanding of centers.

He is less than 210cm tall, but he can control the rebound very well, and pass the ball, or break through, and launch a fast break at the first time, which is extremely rare in the history of NBA centers.

It can be said that Ruan Erniu is subverting people's understanding of traditional big centers with his performance. He has created a new insider genre! "

In the history of the NBA, there have indeed been countless highlights of centers holding the ball across the half court, or directly attacking the basket, or passing a pass in seconds.

Dayao once passed the guard with the ball and directly dunked the top five goals.

But insiders like Ruan Erniu who normalize these things are still unprecedented.

The magician is about the same height as Er Niu, but he is a point guard after all, and he only occasionally plays inside.

Yu Jia's words were certainly suspected of flattery, but Ruan Erniu really deserved such praise.

At 58:37, the Eagles led the home team by 21 points at the end of the away game halftime. No matter how you look at it, the Huskies have no chance of recovering.

As soon as Ruan Erniu returned to the locker room, he took the initiative to find Yue Eclipse, and said in front of everyone that what he said just now was inappropriate, and hoped that Yue Eclipse could forgive him.

"My attitude was too hasty, and I apologize to you, J-Smoove!"

Those who make big things don't care about small things, Ruan Erniu gave Yue Eclipse a stick, and when he looked back, he immediately smiled and apologized.

This is the heart of the superior. Without this apology, of course, the lunar eclipse can't say anything, but there will always be a thorn in the mind.

But when it comes to this apology, Josh Smith has no choice but to go downhill. Players can't hold on to the leader's mistakes.

Lunar Eclipse also said: "So, are you going to treat me to dinner?"

Ruan Erniu laughed loudly and said, "No problem!"

……

At the end of the halftime game, Ruan Erniu's personal data stayed at 16 points and 6 rebounds, which is definitely not good news for Erniu.

Jefferson had seven rebounds in the first half, and Love had five.

Although there is not much suspense for the team to win the game, but in the rebounding competition, the Timberwolves still restrained the performance of the Great Demon King very well tonight.

Seeing that the game is about to go to the mode of clocking in three quarters, if Ruan Erniu's rebounding record fails to hit double figures, his terrifying consecutive double-double games will be interrupted.

With 82 games last season and 47 games this season, Ruan Erniu had recorded 129 consecutive double-doubles as of tonight.

This is the only chance for Ruan Erniu to break through the ancient record. Regardless of whether Chamberlain's legendary record of consecutive double-doubles is an unreliable 220 games or an even more unreliable 227 games, it can be compared to the most unreliable season. With an average of 50+25 per game, this record of consecutive double-doubles may still be broken by him.

It is easy to talk about others, but it is difficult to see yourself clearly.

Ruan Erniu's desire to successfully defend the title is far greater than breaking the record of 72 wins, but he has an ambition for his own personal historical status that ordinary people have not yet noticed!
