basketball myth

The Timberwolves once again arrived in San Antonio, but suddenly discovered that their upcoming playoff game was indeed very different from the situation in the regular season.

The Spurs' att center has changed a lot now. It is filled with various playoff decorations, the auditorium is full, and the atmosphere of the entire game is particularly warm and crazy.

Moreover, the Spurs home fans quickly tried their best to interfere with the Timberwolves who came from afar. Even when the Timberwolves players were warming up, they did not let go and affected them in various ways.

In response to such intimidating treatment, the Timberwolves players couldn't help but become more nervous when they returned to the locker room. At the same time, seeing that their jerseys were stained with playoff logos, they continued to be unable to win in the short term.

Calm down in time.

Because the first time is always so confusing and uneasy.

Even Li Feng, who originally thought his mentality was strong enough, could not hide the complicated emotions welling up in his heart at this moment.

As newcomers, they indeed still have a lot to go through. Now, they are just starting out.

Head coach Rambis did not make an impassioned pre-war declaration with the team members, and directly let the players adjust their mentality. The current situation is actually still relatively unfamiliar to him, and he cannot give the ball

The team does more ideological work.

So, they just cheered each other up as usual, and that was it. And the entire Timberwolves team entered the official battlefield of the playoffs in a slightly tense and novel atmosphere.

Of course, since Li Feng and Duncan already had a good personal relationship, during the friendly exchange before the game, he subconsciously exchanged a few words with Duncan.

He tried to calm down and joked that he wanted Duncan to give them a break so that he could experience the feeling of victory in the playoffs.

Duncan's only answer to Li Feng's proposal was that he would lead the Spurs to beat Li Feng and the Timberwolves to death.

After the two people laughed and hugged each other, they shook hands with the other team members one by one, fully completing some basic etiquette before the game.

Li Feng's attitude towards any Spurs player he met was still relatively friendly. He didn't have any deep entanglements with the Spurs. At most, he only had a small problem with Parker.

However, Tony Parker's marital dispute has officially ended, and he understands that the last situation was just because Eva deliberately disgusted him. So now, Parker has returned to his normal attitude towards Li Feng, and no longer deliberately seeks tit-for-tat.

Sorry for the trouble.

During the friendly exchange between the two, Parker did not forget to give Li Feng a bit of a showdown and said something similar to Duncan's demonstration. In short, he still wanted to make Li Feng and the Timberwolves look good.

Facing Parker's good situation, Li Feng is actually quite helpless. The last time he was able to lead the team to defeat the Spurs consecutively, Tony Parker's abnormality was also a major reason. But now in this playoffs, Parker

After returning to normal, it may be more difficult for them to defeat the Spurs.

After all, the Spurs' Big Three are no joke. If they show off their power together, it will be very difficult for any team to encounter them.

After the basic etiquette, it's time for the playoffs to officially begin.

The Spurs' starting five are George Hill, Tony Parker, Richard Jefferson, Tim Duncan and Antonio McDyess.

This lineup was already very scary as soon as it came out. If it weren't for the fact that Jefferson and McDyess were no longer in their prime, and Duncan and Ginobili were a little older, the Timberwolves would have probably encountered the first

You may have to kneel immediately during the round.

The Timberwolves still fielded the best lineup they could currently muster.

Ridnour continues to focus on the point guard, and must fully release Li Feng to score, so that Li Feng can have easier offensive opportunities at the shooting guard position. The other three are Beasley and Kevin Love.

There is also Pekovic who has played well in place of Milicic.

Immediately under the referee's instructions, both sides spread out and took their positions, preparing to jump the ball.

"Di——"

The game begins.

After all, McDyess was old and frail, and his condition declined extremely quickly. He couldn't react to Pekovic when he jumped the ball, so the offensive right was taken by the Timberwolves first.

Ridnour quickly picked up the basketball and trotted towards the Spurs' half, while Li Feng and others quickly followed, preparing to respond, move, or block.

They originally thought that the Timberwolves' first attack would be relatively easy to score.

However, when the five of them stood in the Timberwolves' half at the same time, the Spurs immediately improved their defensive strength and defended them extremely tightly.

George Hill stared at Ridnour, while Tony Parker followed closely in front of Li Feng.

As for Duncan and others, they are closely guarding the Timberwolves' interior players.

For a moment, the Timberwolves' offensive rhythm suddenly stopped.

"Haha, we see that the Spurs in the playoffs have begun to exert their strength. Compared with their defensive state in the regular season, they have obviously improved more. Now, let's wait for the young Timberwolves together.

Team, let’s see how they respond?”

The commentators for tonight's live game are Jeff Van Gundy and his companions, not Barkley and Smith who are familiar to Li Feng and others.

However, it is said that Jeff Van Gundy has very good opinions on Li Feng in various commentary activities, and he still admires Li Feng. Moreover, his commentary is also very popular.

At this moment, Li Feng is trying to move on the court, trying to cut into the inside and receive Ridnour's pass for a layup.

But he soon discovered that Tony Parker was not only sticking to him like candy, the Spurs also had more treats for him inside, and he could not smoothly cut inside to the baseline.

Ridnour naturally saw Li Feng's situation clearly from the outside. He was unable to pass the ball for a while, so he considered passing the basketball to other people's hands.

But neither Love nor Beasley had a good offensive opportunity at the moment. In desperation, they handed the basketball into Ridnour's hands again.

Seeing it, the first 24-second attack time of this game is coming.

Ridnour had no better way, so he passed the ball to the running Li Feng again, hoping that Li Feng could dribble the ball in singles and directly force the attack.

Li Feng knew Ridnour's thoughts very well. He received the pass while trying to get rid of Tony Parker.

Then, he faced Tony Parker, who was a head shorter, and carried out a forced singles act.

There is indeed a big difference in height between the two of them, so it seems that Li Feng really has a chance to score at this time.

However, just when he was about to forcibly pull out his hand, Richard Jefferson from the other side suddenly arrived in time and flew into the air to perform a strong aerial interference on him.

It turns out that the Spurs, in addition to one-on-one man-to-man defense, can also quickly change into zone defense, double-teaming and other tactics.

Li Feng jumped high in the air and took a shot, but there were two Spurs players, one big and one small, hanging on him. It was really difficult to score. Moreover, he took the shot in a hurry at this time, and it was predicted in advance.

Therefore, his first shot in the playoffs unfortunately did not enter the basket.

The Spurs audience immediately became very excited, applauded, shouted wildly, and ridiculed Li Feng and the Timberwolves.

This is the playoffs. Even if there are still fans supporting the Timberwolves or Li Feng at the Spurs' home court, they will keep a low profile at this time and will not affect the Spurs' entire home fighting momentum.

The playoffs are about a city's honor and are no longer just ordinary games.

…

Unfortunately, the Timberwolves' missed first shot tonight was a similar microcosm of their poor performance throughout the first half of the game.

They played very hard and felt very unfamiliar. It was difficult to keep up with the new rhythm of the playoffs. They were severely restricted by the Spurs.

If the Spurs hadn't found a good touch tonight, perhaps the Timberwolves would have been forced to surrender in the first half.

And Li Feng, who many people are paying special attention to, had an extremely bad debut in the first half of the playoffs tonight. He actually made 0 of 5 shots and failed to score a single point.

This difficult situation quickly made many people curious.
