In the first quarter of the first playoff game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Memphis Grizzlies, the Grizzlies initially took the lead and played well... High-speed updates

As for the Timberwolves, it wasn't until their head coach Rambis scolded the players that the Timberwolves' offense gradually returned to normal, and Li Feng was able to bully defender Tony Allen one after another.

However, the point difference between the two sides did not narrow much.

After the first quarter of the game officially ended, the Memphis Grizzlies still led the Timberwolves 27-20, and their offensive status remained good.

However, when the second quarter of the game came and the substitute players from both sides came on the court one after another, the situation on the court changed dramatically.

Compared with the Memphis Grizzlies' rotation and bench players, the Timberwolves' bench rotation players are obviously stronger.

The Timberwolves' rotation players such as Tracy McGrady, J.J. Barea, Wesley Johnson, Darko Milicic and Luke Ridnour have overwhelmed the Grizzlies' slightly weak rotation, leaving them exhausted.

The power of parrying.

After the rotation players fought hard for a few minutes, the Timberwolves were able to lead the Grizzlies with a score of 35 to 32, which immediately won unanimous praise from the fans at the scene!

Therefore, after these heroes of the Timberwolves were dismissed, even the very unhappy head coach Rambis of the Timberwolves tonight could not help but congratulate these rotation substitute players and once again expressed his gratitude to the main players.

The starting players received a critical education in contrast.

After Li Feng and others had no choice but to suffer a very unpleasant temper and lesson from the head coach Rambis, they couldn't help but feel even more ashamed, and had to start working hard to adjust their condition again. They must spend the following playing time,

Come up with a better competitive state and never be looked down upon by anyone again.

Of course, even if the substitute players are in better shape than the Grizzlies' substitutes, head coach Rambis has no real intention to keep the substitutes on the court. On the one hand, the Timberwolves' substitutes

Their physical strength can't keep up; on the other hand, after all, their strength is not as strong as the main lineup. Once the main starting lineup finds their form, the effect will be stronger.

Soon, just halfway through the second quarter, Li Feng quickly stepped onto the target center court with head coach Rambis's various nagging and orders, declaring that the Timberwolves

The main players of the team have completely returned to the game.

In fact, Li Feng basically had no performance at the beginning of tonight's game. Then, after being criticized by Rambis, he suddenly showed some performance.

However, almost everyone who watched his game felt that those performances on the field were just an ordinary level for him and nothing. Everyone hoped to see him play a more exciting and fiery performance on the field.

I can continue to feel like I was in a state of explosive growth in March and April.

Countless fans and supporters still have very high expectations for Li Feng this time, and they believe that he can do it.

Therefore, when Li Feng returned to the field this time, those people took the initiative to give him a wave of cheers and cheers.

Li Feng felt the enthusiastic voices and movements from the fans at the scene, and naturally understood the basic psychological thoughts of those people.

And when he returns to the court this time, he really needs to perform a normal strong performance right away, otherwise he will really make many people laugh.

Usually, he can easily score 20 or 30 points in half a half. Tonight, he only scored seven or eight points in the second half of the first quarter and a few assists. His performance was too little.

However, as Li Feng's direct opponent on the court, Tony Allen still doesn't want Li Feng to have more outstanding performances.

During the period before the rotation, and in the following rounds, Tony Allen had been continuously mocked and beaten by Li Feng. He felt very depressed, and naturally wanted to make Li Feng completely free from any mistakes in the next few rounds.

Performance.

Tony Allen soon consciously took the initiative to strengthen his personal defense against Li Feng. He seemed more like a piece of super sticky candy with an astonishing viscosity and had no intention of leaving Li Feng.

Wherever Li Feng went, he immediately followed him, not caring about other things on the field.

Li Feng could clearly feel the strong defense from Tony Allen at the first time, but he still had many ways to solve this kind of defense and did not feel any trouble.

He first took the initiative to run back and forth a few positions on the court, and then when he saw Kevin Love was having a bit of a disadvantage against Zach Randolph, he stopped near the center line of the basket and raised his hands to fight.

The ball is up!

Kevin Love reluctantly handed the ball to his hands, and then went to compete with Zach Randolph with his bare hands.

At the same time, Li Feng officially launched another personal attack after returning to the competition.

He directly leaned against Tony Allen with his back, and quickly started hitting the ball with his back, using a back-up and forward squeezing motion.

His lower body is very stable and his back is very strong. Forcibly squeezing Tony Allen will have a great effect.

After a few steps and a hard lean, his body couldn't help but get a little closer to the basket.

Mike Conley of the Grizzlies was shocked to find that Tony Allen was about to be completely squeezed to the basket by Li Feng, losing his best defensive position.

Therefore, he couldn't help but move over and grab Li Feng.

Almost in an instant, he stretched out his right hand like lightning, trying to seize the ball while Li Feng was distracted!

However, since Li Feng has the ability to hit Tony Allen in the back, he is not afraid of sudden steals from other Grizzlies players.

I saw Li Feng suddenly pull the basketball into his arms, and then threw it directly to Ricky Rubio standing on the outside like a cannonball with one hand!

Ricky Rubio received a wonderful pass from Li Feng this time. He couldn't help but raise his hand comfortably and took advantage of the situation to throw the basketball softly.

In this shot, he has a good grasp of the rhythm from catching the ball to a jump shot, and the timing of the basketball shot is just right.

As a result, a crisp "Whoosh!" was heard from the basket in the Grizzlies penalty area.

Ricky Rubio has successfully hit a three-pointer!

Thirty-eight to thirty-two, the Timberwolves' all-main lineup quickly took over the offensive guns of the previous rotations and continued to open up a slight lead.

"Come on, Tony, you almost succeeded in defending me just now." Li Feng turned back as if he was deliberately teasing, and said with a smile to Tony Allen.

But Tony Allen seemed to have adjusted for a period of time, and now his mentality has recovered a lot. Hearing this, he was not too angry. Instead, he immediately turned around and responded directly: "You are lucky, next time

There will definitely be no chance of this happening again!”

While the two were talking trash to each other, the Grizzlies' offense came over again.

Li Feng quickly handed over the task of guarding Tony Allen to Rich Rubio, and he took the initiative to rush to the position of Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley.

Obviously, Mike Conley is now considered the starting point of the Grizzlies' offense. He is obviously much more dangerous than shooting guard Tony Allen, whose offensive ability is worrying.

In this way, Li Feng must work hard to restrict him so that he cannot provide more effective help to the Grizzlies' offense. This will make it easier for the Timberwolves to win the game.

After all, if the Timberwolves want to win a game as they wish, it is not just their own team's way of scoring crazily, but actively limiting their opponents' scoring. This is also an effective method. Moreover, if they can immediately combine the two

If all means of winning are perfectly implemented, the situation will be even better.

In this new offense of the Grizzlies, it seems that Mike Conley also wants to complete a breakthrough facing Li Feng, and he has some fighting desires.

He was obviously directly stimulated by the failure to double-team Li Feng just now. At the same time, he also wanted to immediately put on a very strong personal state to prove that he is also a very strong point guard player.

After the one-on-one started, he decisively lowered his shoulders and retracted his legs. He dribbled the ball slowly, very carefully and carefully, and his eyes subconsciously glanced somewhere behind Li Feng.

At this moment, Li Feng was also bending down to defend very carefully. But his eyes were a little different from Mike Conley's. While he was staring closely at the basketball in Mike Conley's hand, he would also look at it slightly from the corner of his eye.

Holding Mike Conley's legs and feet.

He guessed that Mike Conley was likely to attempt an active breakthrough against him, and if he could establish a better defensive position or line in advance, Mike Conley's upcoming breakthrough would be in vain.

The two people were in a stalemate on the playing field for a few seconds, and then they began to take official action again.

While Mike Conley was shooting the basketball, he moved his two feet and kept taking tentative steps, trying to move towards the front position.

Naturally, Li Feng did not allow Mike Conley to have too much room to attack. Not only did he firmly hold the front position in the defense a little early, but he also quickly swayed his body on both sides, trying not to give Mike Conley too many breakthrough opportunities.

Chance.

Finally, after Mike Conley had been preparing for a long time, he suddenly took his first foot and moved his body to one side. He wanted to shoot the basketball and passed Li Feng from the right!

However, just when Mike Conley thought he was about to successfully complete the breakthrough, Li Feng cleverly moved his body, retreated a little, and successfully blocked Mike Conley's continued acceleration. The block was tight.

The defense was considered a success.

In a very helpless mood, Mike Conley had no choice but to turn around and move the basketball back to the outside, looking for a breakthrough or offensive line again.

Therefore, the head-on confrontation between him and Li Feng ended with the failure of his offensive breakthrough and the first round ended.

Of course, Mike Conley is not the kind of person who gives up easily. Moments after he lost the good opportunity to break through Li Feng, he suddenly thought of taking a few steps back quickly, preparing to take the opportunity to launch a sudden sneak attack.

Shot.

However, Mike Conley still seriously underestimated Li Feng's individual defensive ability.

When Li Feng opened his two broad arms and stretched across the sky in front of him like a super big bird, he had no chance to shoot.

In a short period of time, Li Feng strongly defended two consecutive offensive methods. He had to urgently complete a temporary ball transfer action from the air, and immediately moved the basketball in his hand to a distant offensive position. This was not very good.

In the hands of Marc Gasol.

Seeing that time was running out and his teammates had no chance to attack, Marc Gasol immediately wanted to try a long-distance shot, but unfortunately he was unable to make the basketball hit the basket.

Therefore, after Li Feng put in a lot of defensive energy, the Timberwolves successfully defended the Grizzlies' attack. The Grizzlies starting players returned in vain.

At this time, there was a burst of strong discussion and praise for Li Feng in the auditorium around the target center.

"Well, you did a great job just now. Mike Conley has no room for attack in front of Lee, haha!"

"Hahaha, this is the first glimpse of Lee's prowess. The Grizzlies should be in trouble tonight. They can't do anything to our great, explosive Lee!"

"I'm wondering if Lee has a chance to compete for the league's best defensive team or best defensive player this season. Obviously, in addition to being a super scorer, he is also the number one defensive leader of our Timberwolves team.

Na!"

…

Timberwolves fans were chatting lively in their seats in groups of twos and threes, and their confidence in Li Feng's beautiful game was particularly strong and exciting.

And Li Feng really lived up to the strong confidence and support from the fans.

Immediately, when the Grizzlies' defense was not stable, he was like a fish bouncing into the water, his body was very slippery, and he dribbled the ball extremely quickly into the Grizzlies' defensive lineup. He casually faced the Grizzlies' defender.

The Bears' basket in the penalty area quickly completed a close touch and layup.

Naturally, the basketball still seemed to have eyes, and it fell gently and accurately into the Grizzlies' basket without being blocked by any Grizzlies players.

Li Feng's blitz attack brought the Timberwolves' entire team's score to 40 points in an instant.

"I seem to have forgotten what you just said to me. I really hope you can say it again?" Li Feng suddenly said again to Tony Allen, who was unresponsive to the defense around him, with a puzzled look on his face.

At that moment, Tony Allen was really embarrassed. But he knew that his defense had indeed failed and he had been attacked by Li Feng. So he had no choice but to raise his head and snort at Li Feng before turning his face bitterly.

go back.

…

Soon, during the second quarter of the game, scenes similar to this happened more and more frequently inside the target center.

Basically, the target of teasing is always Grizzlies player Tony Allen. And Li Feng can always help the Timberwolves by scoring or assisting, or in other ways, making the Timberwolves' offense completely sharper.

.

Although the Grizzlies are still attacking very hard and playing their own offensive rhythm, unfortunately they are still unable to catch up too much in terms of score and are still lagging behind the Timberwolves.

In the first quarter of tonight's game, the Grizzlies once scored 27 points. In the second quarter, their scores were actually about the same. Twenty-five points was already a lot. However, comparison

For the Timberwolves, who scored 20 points in the first quarter and 35 points in the second quarter, the Grizzlies must accept the cruel fact of being slightly suppressed.

When the game resumed for a while in the second half, the rhythm of both sides actually continued the general trend after the first half. The Timberwolves, which had already returned to its normal state, continued to lead the Grizzlies by a small margin.

The situation was in a stalemate for a while, and it was difficult to change. It seemed that both sides might want to use this situation to directly enter the last quarter of the game, and then make a final push.

At least, that's what the Grizzlies think.

Therefore, in the game shortly after the start of the second half, even though the Grizzlies were a few points behind, they were not too anxious and were still fighting in an orderly manner, waiting for the decisive moment to arrive.

However, since the Timberwolves have gradually returned to their normal state and are still playing in front of their home fans and facing the first playoff game of the season, how can they put the game in such trouble and danger?

What about the situation?

Li Feng finally had the expected super-explosion just a little later in the third quarter!

He first used three consecutive breakthrough skills that were almost identical, causing the Grizzlies to pay the price of three consecutive fouls.

Then, he used three consecutive pull-up jumpers to continue to tell and attack Tony Allen. Trying to defend him alone must now be a fantasy.

Under Li Feng's continuous scoring blow, the Grizzlies almost showed signs of collapse.

It's just that Zach Randolph seemed to be really desperate, and he immediately launched a very reasonable inside attack against Xing, barely keeping the Grizzlies from actually collapsing, and seemed to still be able to hold on until the fourth quarter.

The final time period to determine the rhythm of victory.

This situation of the Grizzlies is really annoying for Li Feng.

He immediately took the ball and continued his extremely strong personal state, once again launching another series of attacks on the Grizzlies' interior guarded by Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

His repeated attacks disrupted the Grizzlies' interior and suddenly caused huge holes in the entire defensive system of the Grizzlies.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Feng used every opportunity to provide several assists to his teammates, which also opened up the other teammates of the Timberwolves on the court to a very hot personal state.

Under Li Feng's typical statistics of 48 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block, as well as the continuous offensive attacks from other Timberwolves players, the Grizzlies were finally unable to draw their last breath and unfortunately fell.

At the end of the third quarter.

Most of the fourth quarter of the game turned into garbage time, giving the Timberwolves' water fountain managers a chance to sweat.

The first playoff game between the Timberwolves and the Grizzlies was a little bit of a low start and a high start, but they still managed to show off their impressive record of being the best in the league!
