In mid-April, the last five games of the Jazz were left.
The regular season has entered the final stage, and the rankings of the east and the west have been basically determined, but...who can take the bottom position and play the lotto show, this is not easy to say.
Look at the west...
is currently at the bottom of the Dallas Mavericks with 10 wins and 67 losses, followed by the Minnesota Timberwolves with 11 wins and 66 losses, while the bottom of the east is the 21-56 Washington Bullets.
Obviously, there is no way for other teams to compete with the Mavericks and Timberwolves, and the Mavericks and Timberwolves must compete for the penultimate of the league, using this year's draft opportunity to prepare for the next season.
But for the Timberwolves, there is a good thing, that is, in the regular season finale stage, their opponents are strong teams, but they don’t have to play too much to easily lose, and the opponent of the latest game is Utah Jazz!
……
Because it is the final stage, the schedule is a bit ahead of schedule. The away jazz reached Minnesota on the morning of the game, and the game was the next night.
But even if the schedule is tight, the Jazz Legion does not have much pressure. After all, everyone knows... Although this game is played by the Jazz and the Timberwolves, it is actually a competition between the Timberwolves and the Mavericks.
can't win!
Never win!
The attitude of the Timberwolves is firm.
Speaking of this, they have harvested draft picks and rookie center Alonzo Mourning this season, and Mourning also showed his dominance in the penalty area at the beginning of the season, but it was difficult for the Timberwolves to stand until the first two months of the season. Really couldn't hold it, and simply let go.
However, in order to preserve the face and prevent his team from breaking the NBA's record of losing streak, the Timberwolves have to fight every time the number of consecutive losing games is too large, using random conditions to end the losing streak, and there is also a brother and a brother Dallas Mavericks. It’s not too ugly.
Just doing this... It was really painful, Mo Ning, led the team to play such a result, although he still can't get his turn back, but his heart is still in flames, but also prepared to prepare for the next season.
……
That night.
Utah Jazz vs Minnesota Timberwolves, the game officially started at the Target Center Arena.
However, for the Nba Timberwolves... the original ball market was not big, the fan base was poor, and this season's record was sparse, the attendance rate at home was a bit embarrassing. The stadium that can accommodate 20,000 people is estimated to sit. One and a half.
After the warm-up, the match between the two sides started immediately.
Timberwolves starting lineup, center Alonzo Mourning, power forward Malone Maxey, small forward Chuck Posen, shooting guard Doug West, point guard Mitchell Williams.
In the face of the thriving Jazz Legion, the Timberwolves coach Sidney Lowe is very relaxed, because this game will lose the peace of mind, he does not need to endure the media and fans of attacks and abuse, it is a requirement for his team members ...All assured, let go, we won't win!
The Timberwolves are relaxed, and the Jazz Legion is more relaxed.
Starting lineup, center Li Shengli, power forward Karl Malone, small forward Tyrone Corbin, point guard John Stockton, shooting guard John Croti.
Others need not say anything, it is worth mentioning that the successful login of Croti.
Playing the Hornets, 10 of 7 three-pointers; playing the Spurs, 12 points in 9 minutes, his performance is too eye-catching, but that is his most superb performance, Jerry Sloan gave him a few in the next game After the second chance, the performance has stabilized.
has a 30-minute playing time, and in recent games averaged 13 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 2.7 steals.
This data is really not enough. After all, Jerry Sloan gave him 30 minutes of playing time, but... Jerry Sloan saw much more than that. He saw an average of 2.7 steals per game. The data is really ok.
The defense of a team is generally limited to the inside. The defense of the defender is difficult to digitize, and the defenders who can enter the best defensive lineup are too rare.
rebounding data is easy to follow, and in a few benign statistics, steals are still an indicator, and Croti's defensive performance is seen by Jerry Sloan.
shot?
Jazz's firepower is too full, there is no shortage of Croti, but Croti can use the defense to drive the opponent into the inside, and give it to Li Shengli and Malone to block the opponent's offensive efficiency.
Of course, Croti is not without offensive ability, but this guy is keen on three-pointers, this will be a jazz counterattack at a critical moment.
Compared with the original Jeff Malone, Croti has a slight gap in offense, but the defense is better, overall... Croti is more suitable for today's jazz, defensive desperation does not take too much Multi-ball right.
……
Game start.
There is no special arrangement for Jazz. After all, playing Timberwolves and using the bench for the second team will not necessarily lose, and the Timberwolves... There are not too many arrangements. After putting five starting players, Sidney Lowe will let the sheep go.
Although they yelled on the sidelines and seemed to care about the outcome, but after all, it was acting. As the head coach, naturally, they also have to cooperate with the performance of the players.
Life is like a play, who is not an actor yet!
In the first quarter, the two sides tentatively attacked each other.
The Jazz Legion had a poor feel. The outside shot repeatedly hit the iron. Malone also shot a few shots. The shooting rate was not high, and Li Shengli's scoring score was stable.
As for the Timberwolves...
shooting guard Doug West is the team's veteran, superb acting, is also the most important actor in this game, received a teammate's pass is blind throwing.
Tossing three non-sticks is a bit excessive. As an old play bone, Doug West cannot naturally do such a stupid thing. The surface work is still beautiful.
However, contrary to his wishes, what is strange is... How can he throw it, the more he shoots blindly, the more accurate, and he makes 5 consecutive shots, 5 of 5 and 10 points.
Unbelief!
Doug West went crazy and slipped out of the three-point line to take a three-pointer. He really rarely shoots three-pointers. This is the least confident shot. After all, the three-point shooting of 8.7% is not a joke. Although the shooting rate is so low because of three-point attempts, it also proves from the side that he is not allowed to shoot ~EbookFREE.me~
Three points again.
13 points, Doug West, 100% shooting rate!
……
until the end of the first quarter.
The score of the two sides was 15:30. The Timberwolves led the world by 15 points. The Doug West also fought. He didn't believe that he would be so evil. He also voted 2 middle shots and 1 three-pointer.
100% hit!
7 of 7 two-pointers, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and one foul free throw, 2 of 2, total score 22 points, Timberwolves 30 points in total, this product alone scored 22 points.
……
The fans in the target center were a little stunned, and then a burst of joyful and boiling shouts broke out, not to mention the low attendance, but the full roar of all the fans is still deafening.
What is rhythm?
The first quarter beat the Jazz, why do you want to win!
For a time, the audience stood up to applaud the miracle created by Doug West, and even a small wave of loyal fans shouted that he was... the Timberwolves belatedly proud!
At the same time, the Timberwolves are all crazy, and the head coach Sidney Lowe is even more angry... let you play well, your hit rate is like shit, let you blindly cast, you give I moved back to a 100% hit rate? !
Oh shit!
I let you play jazz!
You bastard, even me? !
