"Something's not right to wait for the match. What did I find?”
John Xun was commentating when he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the lineup on the field.
The lineup.
Timberwolves: Tyerwin John Xun (C), Michael Olovokandi (PL), Wally Zerbiak (TF), Latrell Sprewell (SG), Sam Cassel (PG).
Nuggets: Chris Anderson (C), Nene Hilario (PG), Joan Barry (TF), Voshan Leonard (SG), Earl Boykins (PG).
"The Nuggets didn't take advantage of Garnett's rest to pull away the score. It's not a big problem to choose to let Anthony rest.”
"Cassel is still there. Did you forget that Cassel was suspended in the first quarter when he hit Boykins?”
Kenny Smith shook his head.
Boykins had indeed performed well in the previous match, but Wang Chen had probably witnessed his performance today.
The intensity of the tiebreaker's defense and Boykins 'height of 165 were destined to be a big pit.
They could not attack, and their defense could not give them the strength of a tiebreaker.
"Miller hasn't even played for a minute today.”
Barkley shook his head.
The 28-year-old Andre Miller was currently at the peak of his career. He was also a point guard at the bottom of the first echelon in the league. He had a steady mid-range shot and a back-to-back shot, which made him unique in the point guard position.
And even if he did not have the feel, Miller could help the team with first-class passing and control.
However, who would have thought that…
A point guard like that had not even gotten a minute of playing time in the third quarter.
Wang Chen would rather use Boykins than Miller.
At this time, the Forest Wolves had the ball.
Cassel saw that Boykins was defending against him and turned to look at the coach on the sidelines.
Sunders nodded, meaning that Cassel could do whatever he wanted.
The opponent had taken the initiative to expose his weakness. This was an extremely rare opportunity for the Forest Wolves. He had no reason to refuse.
Although Cassel was the second-in-command of the team, most of the time, he was the team's brain. Saunders was very relieved to let Cassel make the assignments.
Cassel instructed his teammates to open up space, then lowered their center of gravity and prepared to fight Boykins alone.
A lot of Boykins 'defense relied on fighting against the opponent and then stealing.
This kind of defensive method was actually more risky. It was naturally a good shot to snatch it.
However, if he didn't grab it, the ball would be left empty. Without any defense, he could shoot directly from the open space.
Boykins originally wanted to rely on this method to defend. The whistle for the tiebreaker was relatively loose, so he could increase the chances of success.
And for some reason, he felt that his ability to resist had increased significantly recently.
However, before Wang Chen went on stage, he specifically instructed him not to play Bo defense.
Boykins could only retract the idea of stealing and honestly adopt a marking method.
Originally, Cassel was a little afraid of Boykins 'steals. After all, Boykins had caught him off guard a few times in the last game.
However, Boykins clearly didn't have such thoughts and even took half a step back.
Boykins taking half a step back was equivalent to everyone else taking a step back.
Cassel saw this and Boykins dared to defend like this, so he directly pulled out a three-pointer.
Boykins went up and more or less caused some interference, but it wasn't much.
Clang!
There wasn't much interference, but the ball bounced out.
Cassel frowned and quickly went back to defend.
Saunders was very dissatisfied with this goal. Cassel was a little arrogant. They were still behind!
The Nuggets 'offense was not easy to play either.
The defense of the tiebreaker was too strong. Boykins dribbled the ball to break through and was surrounded all of a sudden. He could not pass the ball out.
This time, Leonard finally gained a bit of an offensive tactical position. Boykins quickly passed the ball to Leonard.
Leonard feigned three points and lit up his defense.
Then, he broke inside and Anderson immediately came up to block and roll.
Anderson had the bonus of being a Fauvist on the field. The increase in his ability to resist also increased the effectiveness of his pick-and-roll.
Leonard got a chance to shoot in the open.
Shua!
Leonard had finally completed an attack with the ball in these three games.
