basketball myth

When a referee at the target center threw the basketball in his hand into the sky, the new season of the Timberwolves was officially announced. w w w . 8 9 r e a d .

As the new main center of the Timberwolves, Nikola Pekovic is very energetic, as if to prove how natural and right it is for him to put Darko Milicic on the bench, struggling to win from the Thunder.

Serge Ibaka stole the ball.

Li Feng stood not far behind, stretched out his hand, and easily grabbed the long-lost official ball.

With a slight sigh in his heart, he slapped the basketball on the ground, then slowly walked forward with the ball, launching the Timberwolves' first offense of the new season.

Luke Ridnour is still the point guard in the Timberwolves' games, while newcomer Ricky Rubio still needs to stay on the bench for a while.

Therefore, the Timberwolves' lineup at this moment is still one of the most commonly used lineups in the second half of last season.

In addition to Pekovic, who jumps the ball, and Li Feng and Ridnour, who work together in the backcourt, Michael Beasley and Kevin Love have also returned from injury, are healthy and energetic, and continue to serve.

.

As for their opponent tonight, the Thunder, the lineup is not any different. It is still the five-man main force that has been on the field for a long time. The Thunder's lineup is extremely stable, and almost no one of them has been replaced for a long time.

Even if James Harden gradually rises, it is difficult to shake the lineup change.

Since Sabo Sefolosha was still dedicated to defending Li Feng, he stood in front of Li Feng early to block Li Feng's breakthrough route, and at the same time, he was as careful as possible to prevent Li Feng from taking the opportunity to shoot.

.

But Li Feng didn't care at all, and he didn't hand the basketball into the hands of Ridnour, the nominal point guard tonight.

He wasn't afraid of Sefolosha in the playoffs last season. In the new season, he will naturally be even more fearless.

Gently put the basketball a little in front of his right foot, and his body swayed slightly!

The pupils of Sefolosha's eyes immediately shrank, and his whole body movements became extremely tense, knowing that Li Feng might be about to take some kind of action.

However, in this moment, Li Feng took a step with his right foot and shot the basketball. The first step, which was regarded as the top speed in the entire league, was completed immediately!

Without any unnecessary movements, he relied on his absolute speed to break through!

If someone had just successfully watched his entire process from making an action to completing it, they would definitely feel that the speed of his abnormal reaction can really be described as "as fast as lightning".

Fast, too fast!

For Sefolosa, who is experienced and mentally prepared, Li Feng's first step to break through seemed even more direct and explosive than last season. He was basically powerless.

Accompanied by the same unexpected exclamations from the home fans, Li Feng's figure quickly passed Sefolosha, and then got bigger and bigger. In an instant, it was close to the Thunder's basket.

Before Kentrick Perkins could react, Li Feng had already jumped into the air and completed a gentle and elegant movement towards the basket that was very close at hand.

Whoosh!

Explosive speed, powerful breakthroughs and high leaps, but in the end he ended the battle with an extremely gentle and graceful pick-up action.

This contrast is obviously stunning, and almost reveals some of Li Feng's basic playing styles. Domineering yet gentle, powerful yet delicate, both ornamental and practical are of a first-class level!

After scoring so easily, Li Feng has successfully scored the first two points of the new season for the Timberwolves, making a good start.

As a result, the fans at the scene could only continue to give endless cheers and applause to Li Feng. However, some die-hard fans would even support Li Feng's momentum and proudly complain to the surroundings.

He said two sentences: "Look, damn you guys, Li Feng has no problem at all, and he should still be extremely strong in the new season!"

The Thunder lost the first two points and failed to guard Li Feng, but Russell Westbrook's eyes suddenly lit up again, as if he wanted to take action immediately.

However, when he turned around and saw head coach Scott Brooks with a serious face on the bench, and then glanced at Kevin Durant who was silent but with equally shining eyes, he had no choice but to put away the throbbing and reluctance in his heart.

I pressed down and carried the basketball past half court with peace of mind.

Kevin Durant quickly asked for the ball in front of him. Westbrook had no choice but to sigh with regret and quickly threw the basketball in his hand over, while he quietly made preparations and tried to prepare for the second wave.

attack.

Durant got the ball as he wished, and immediately leaned his back against Michael Beasley's chest, then turned around with a huge movement and easily hit the basket.

Then, he also scored a layup quite freely, which fully proved his extraordinary ability to lead the league in scoring for two consecutive seasons.

Countless fans couldn't help but get even more excited when they saw Durant's strong response. They are very much looking forward to tonight's game, which will once again turn into a star-like showdown. Many of them especially hope to see it on the court.

Li Feng and Durant were directly one-on-one.

However, the next offensive script for the Timberwolves didn't seem to be written like this.

Li Feng suddenly acted as a cover for attacking on the court, attracting the attention of Thunder players from the outside. As a result, Ridnour suddenly threw a basketball high and hung it directly under the basket, giving Pekovic the opportunity to wreak havoc inside.

Pekovic didn't care at all about the endurance of the basket and successfully completed a wave of powerful dunks, further igniting the momentum of the Timberwolves playing at home.

Westbrook finally couldn't hold it in any longer. After Durant's previous shot, this time he decided to have a personal attack.

He has indeed worked hard to correct some of the bad behaviors that were criticized by his teammates and coaches, but sometimes, there will still be rebounds occasionally, such as now.

After Westbrook forcibly beat Ridnour alone on the court for a while, he decisively showed off his mid-range shooting ability and quickly completed the shot at the Timberwolves' basket.

Westbrook felt that after a lot of hard training in the summer, he believed that his mid-range shooting ability was already very strong, so he was even ready to celebrate after scoring.

Unfortunately, when he faced Li Feng and the Timberwolves, he never had good luck. The basketball he shot this time actually slipped out of the basket in a weird way.

Westbrook watched as Li Feng quickly retreated to the basket, and under the double protection of Kevin Love and Pekovic, he easily got the backcourt rebound.

Apart from sighing, Westbrook could not think of any other way to relieve his depression.

After Li Feng got the ball again, he immediately took a few steps forward. After attracting Westbrook's quick interception, he immediately handed the ball to Ridnour on the side.

Ridnour got the ball very quickly, leaving no one on the Thunder team with much time to breathe.

Finally, Sefolosha changed positions in time and stopped in front of Ridnour this time, preventing the situation from deteriorating further.

Westbrook was also very excited about the rare opportunity to guard against Li Feng. He kept chasing Li Feng and did not give Li Feng any space to catch the ball and attack.

When Li Feng was about to catch the ball near the free throw line, he immediately forced himself to stop in front of Li Feng. He looked very energetic and kept making defensive moves to interfere with other people's passes.

Just when he thought proudly, he was about to restrain Li Feng's attack.

But Li Feng suddenly ran back like a sneak attack, rushed towards the basket, and skillfully threw his body in the relatively empty air.

As soon as the ball arrives, Ridnour and Li Feng already have a very good understanding of each other. At this moment, Ridnour's timing and position of passing the ball on the basket are even more perfect.

As a result, Li Feng's face-to-face dunk after grabbing the ball with one hand was completed instantly, making this wonderful alley-oop slam dunk goal once again a candidate for tonight's top ten goals in the league!

However, Li Feng really has no intention to compete with Durant or Westbrook on personal offense tonight. He focuses on the offensive efficiency of the entire Timberwolves team. His scoring will only appear when needed, not too much.

To seize the ball from teammates.

And tonight, the other members of the Timberwolves are indeed in good shape, as if they are in full bloom, and they really want to regain their dignity after losing last year in the playoffs.

At the end of the quarter, they were able to suppress the Thunder 26:20, making the opponent look quite passive.
