NBA: Become stronger by dunking

【128】The first team in the league vs. the last team in the league, one quarter? At

9 pm local time at the Oakland Arena, the Warriors played against the Timberwolves at home as scheduled. The

Timberwolves' record in the new season is terrible. After playing 16 games, they have only achieved 2 wins and 14 losses so far, ranking last in the league. This is in sharp contrast to the Warriors' record of 16 wins and no losses, ranking first in the league.

Before the game started, it can be said that there was no suspense in the contest between the league's top squad leader and the deputy squad leader.

The Warriors must have a big win. Even if the team is collectively sleepwalking, as long as Su Mo can show half of his state, it will still take a few minutes to beat the Timberwolves.

This game can even be said to be the least suspenseful game since the new season.

But even so, the game between the Warriors and the Timberwolves at home still attracted the attention of many fans and sports news commentators.

Because for many Warriors' fanatical fans, as long as there is Su Mo's game, there will never be a lack of highlights.

Su Mo scored 65+ in two consecutive games, and even scored 70 points against the defending champion Lakers, which made many fans have endless reverie.

Facing the double-teaming of the Lakers and Kobe's crazy defense, Su Mo was still able to score 70 points. So, assuming that he faced the weak defense of a weak team and his teammates were not strong, would Su Mo score higher?

70+?

Even 80+?

Break Kobe Bryant's 81-point record?

Any fan of the Warriors and Su Mo has reason to believe that as long as Su Mo wants to score, he can do such a miracle.

However, this also requires the cooperation of the opponent.

Because it is not the case that the weaker the teammates are and the weaker the defense is, the stars can get more points in the game. If the intensity of the game is not enough, or it enters garbage time early, it will hinder the star players from scoring high points. No matter how suspenseful the game is

, no matter how many points Su Mo can get in the game, the fans are all looking forward to the arrival of the game.

With the referee's whistle, the game between the Warriors and the Timberwolves officially began.

The Warriors' starting five remained unchanged: Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry, Stephen Jackson, Sumo, Anthony Tolliver. The

Timberwolves' starting five were: Jonny Flynn, Corey Brewer, Ryan Gomes, Al Jefferson, Kevin Love.

The centers of the two teams jumped the ball in the center circle, and the Warriors got the first wave of offensive possession.

Curry crossed half court with the ball, and faced with Jonny Flynn's defense, he made a fancy crotch move and actually dribbled the ball to his feet.

""Snap!"

Johnny Flynn leaped out and stole the ball from Curry.

Curry reacted and rushed back to steal the ball, but was called for a foul.

Curry was very frustrated.

Su Mo came over quickly, patted Curry on the shoulder, and smiled to comfort his teammates.

In the Timberwolves' offense, Johnny Flynn dribbled the ball through the restricted area and passed it to Al Jefferson who cut into the basket. The latter completed a stunning slam dunk.

"Boom!

The Timberwolves started the game 2:0 ahead of the Warriors.

It can be seen that the Timberwolves were very serious after the start, and they entered the game earlier than the Warriors.

The fans at home looked calm and did not feel worried at all.

"It's just a ball. I believe the Timberwolves will soon feel the horror of being singled out!"

"Haha, I'm waiting to see today whether this game will be more exciting in the first half or the first quarter!"

"Don't say that, let's at least show our own demeanor and give the Huskies some face, right?"

On the commentary stand, Mike Breen and Van Gundy also seemed very relaxed in their commentary on the game. Perhaps they all thought at the beginning that this was a game without suspense and the final victory would definitely belong to the Warriors.

"Al Jefferson has indeed been in good shape since being traded to the Timberwolves, but as a team leader, his temperament is clearly not enough!"

"That’s right. Love, who was selected with the fifth pick in the first round last year, has more leadership qualities than Al Jefferson. The Timberwolves should gradually promote him!"

In the CCTV NBA live broadcast room, Coach Zhang, Yang Yi, Wang Meng and others were also explaining the game in a relaxed and pleasant manner. Compared with the tense atmosphere of the previous commentary on the Warriors vs. Cavaliers and Lakers, it was completely different.

Coach Zhang smiled and said,"The suspense of the game will definitely not be too great. As long as Su Mo and the Warriors can exert 30% of their energy, it should not be a problem to win the Timberwolves, who are ranked last in the league!"

Yang Yi followed and said,"Yes, although the suspense of the game is very small, it is still full of highlights. Facing weaker teams, we look forward to Su Mo being able to contribute more exciting goals to everyone."

Back at the Oakland Arena, the game continued.

After the Timberwolves got the first blood at the start, the ball was transferred and the Warriors attacked again.

Su Mo received a pass from Curry in the frontcourt, and in an instant, two Timberwolves players came forward to double-team him.

It can be seen that the defensive tactics arranged by the Timberwolves coach before the game started was to double-team Su Mo no matter what.

After all, at the beginning of the game, Su Mo did not choose to attack too much, but rationally observed the situation on the court and passed the ball to Curry outside the three-point line on the right.

Curry received the ball in an open space and shot a three-pointer directly.

""Bang!" Curry sighed and turned back to defend. The Timberwolves grabbed the defensive rebound, and Flynn dribbled all the way to the frontcourt. Facing Curry's defense, he broke through and made a layup with Love's off-ball screen. The

Timberwolves scored 4 points in a row and led the Warriors 4:0 at the start. Curry was naturally angry because he was continuously beaten on both offense and defense. Curry, who was dribbling the ball again, was eager to show himself. Facing Flynn's defense on the offensive end, he dribbled the ball directly between his legs and tried to break through. But

……

""Pop!"

Johnny Flynn seemed to have read Curry's intention again and completed another beautiful steal.

After stealing Curry's ball, Flynn rushed to the front court and made another layup.

Timberwolves (6): (0) Warriors.

Head coach Don Nelson was so angry about Curry's poor performance that he called a timeout.

During the timeout, the home fans also complained.

"Curry's performance was too bad. Less than a minute into the game, he was intercepted twice and missed an open three-pointer. He really dragged the team down!"

"It doesn’t matter. After all, he is a rookie and still needs the training of games. Anyway, it won’t affect the outcome of the game!"
