Chapter 554： 4 3-points that change your life against the sky

The Timberwolves have proved with practical actions what it means to have no underdogs in the NBA. Even if the Timberwolves are the last in the West, they are facing the No. 1 throne in the league. The Knicks, who have only lost four games so far, will not be like the bricklayers predicted. as easily defeated.

Facts have proved that this Hutch is in a hurry, and he also bites!

Now there are only three minutes left until the end of the game, 88-80. The Timberwolves at home still hold an 8-point lead. From the score, it can be seen that the Knicks are not in shape in this game, and they have only scored 80 points. Earnings, far below the regular season average.

So it's not really how good the Timberwolves played, it's just that the Knicks played too badly. Not to mention the low hit rate, the turnovers are still high. The cumulative number of turnovers has reached an astonishing 22 times, which is three times more than the 7 times of the Timberwolves. one more time.

This is the reason why the Knicks are always behind in this game. No team can stand the number of turnovers.

In fact, the Knicks should be thankful that the team they met was the Timberwolves, the league's deputy squad leader, not any other team. Otherwise, the game might have been spent long ago, and it would not have been possible to hit such a time.

But Zuo Li also knows that in fact, it is easier to overturn a weak team. For example, the invincible Bull in 1996 won 72 wins and 10 losses in the regular season, and in those ten defeats, there were many unimaginable defeats, such as Jordan taking 40 points but still lost to the Hornets who lost Mourning and missed the playoffs.

This has little to do with strength, but is closely related to the team's mentality. When playing a weak team, you will unconsciously relax too much, thinking that you can take the opponent firmly, and play loose and loose. As a result, you are bitten back by the opponent. .

This is the case with the Knicks in this game. They were beaten by the Timberwolves at the beginning. After thinking about it, they wanted to try harder, but the effect was not good. The body couldn’t keep up with the brain. The worse the rush, the worse it will eventually form a vicious circle.

Of course, the Timberwolves played really well tonight. Love will not mention it. He is still a stable data machine. Although the outside world generally thinks that he is a double-double, if he can get a double-double, that is also a double-double. Tonight Love's plus-minus +10 can be said to have played very well.

Many other Timberwolves players didn't even have any impression of them, but they played a very good defense tonight. Although their strength is limited, their attitude is excellent. If the Timberwolves can do this every night, the results will not be so bad. .

Of course, not every opponent will arouse their desire to fight, after all, Zuo Li's record is too tempting.

"Come on, brothers! As long as we survive these three minutes, the glory will belong to us!" Love clapped his hands to his teammates excitedly.

Now the advantage is almost all on the Timberwolves side. The only good news for the Knicks is that they have the offensive ball in this round.

"This offense is very important, the Knicks must play a success rate, if not, then they will be difficult." Smith said.

This is exactly what the Knicks did. Zuoli took the ball and faced a three-person double team. This kind of defense has become commonplace in the last few games.

But this time, Love was very firm on defense, and the position was well chosen. Zuo Liqiang was prone to mistakes, so he decisively assigned it to Curry in the bottom corner.

However, the Timberwolves also scored the ball in response. The Knicks, who went back to defend, did an excellent job. They pressed hard and didn't show a chance. The Timberwolves didn't have a chance to play in any of the four positions. Fu catches the ball a long two points!

Brush, in!

"Hey, it's really good luck, Love played too well, a goal at the buzzer 24, the Knicks are really unlucky." Director Zhang was helpless. The ball is not only a waste of energy, it also hurts morale, and most importantly, 40 seconds less time, and the Knicks are getting more difficult.

D'Antoni called the last long timeout.

The atmosphere can't care about silence, the Knicks are not so vulnerable now, skr~

The main reason is that they don't want to interrupt the winning streak here, and they don't want Zuo Li's record to end here.

But now that I think about it, 12 points for two points... that's really hard.

"Don't worry about me first, winning is the most important thing, we need to score and strengthen our defense so that we can have a chance to win!"

Zuo Li is very open to it. If you can't break it, you can't break it. This record is really not so easy to break. Even Chamberlain, the number one data machine in history, can only do it once. The difficulty is evident.

He has played 12 consecutive games, the highest in the past 40 years. Except for some regrets, he has nothing to get past. Losing to Wilt Chamberlain is a shame, then the NBA will not play anymore!

So, of course, winning is more important!

"Boss..." The big brothers of the Knicks are a little regretful. If they weren't too pitiful tonight, they would not have encountered such a situation.

Let Zuo Li choose between record and victory, which makes them a little ashamed.

Gu Li

Then it's uplifting, dry, must win tonight!

"Don't worry boss! We won't give up!"

"Yes! Fuck it!"

"It's not over yet!"

…

The Knicks' momentum is finally back.

"Hey hey hey! Who said we are going to give up, don't talk nonsense, we need a tactic! Today they have a very small inside line, so let's do this..." D'Antoni patted the tactical board to attract the attention of the players, and then Develop a daring tactic!

After the timeout, the Knicks served from the sideline, but it was none other than Zuoli, who used to be responsible for catching the ball.

Randolph picks and rolls, Curry pulls out to catch the ball, enters the field from the left, Randolph makes a block, Curry makes a point, catches the ball from the left and shoots!

Three points scored!

The difference has become five points!

"NICE!" Curry and Zuoli high-five.

The Timberwolves obviously did not expect the Knicks to suddenly change their style of play, and Zuo Li handed over the ball.

The players were a little flustered for a while, this time, the Knicks defense really worked, a 24-second violation, and the ball was returned to the Knicks again!

"The opportunity is here!" Barkley patted the table.

It was still Curry who dribbled the ball and gave it to Zuo Li halftime, and the Timberwolves were ready to double-team again. However, Zuo Li only dribbled the ball twice, returned it directly to Curry, ran in, and then suddenly went out!

"It's still Curry!" Love shouted.

However, Curry has successfully broken through with the ball. Facing Love's help defense, Curry calmly scored the ball, and the left three-point line in the bottom corner caught the ball!

Enter again!

"Oh oh oh!! The Knicks have two and three points. No one expected such a sudden change. The Knicks' two-point difference has been reduced to two points!"

However, this time the Timberwolves also hit a three-pointer from the top of the arc, still from Love.

However, their ability to adjust limits them, and in exactly the same place, Zuo Li hit a three-pointer again!

Three threes in a row!

The Knicks overtook the score with 43 seconds left!

The Timberwolves requested a timeout!

After the timeout, the Timberwolves' defense expanded, but Curry still found an opportunity to distribute the ball to the 45-degree left standing on the flank!

Left standing catches the ball and shoots again!

The basketball drew a C in the sky, and then dropped the bag precisely!

the fourth!

"Oh mom!!"
