Chapter 55
Why did the Timberwolves fail to improve after Garnett left?A large part of the reason is that the defense is gone.

The Thunder ran back with a cover, and Durant had a chance. This situation is almost impossible to face the Nuggets.

Most of the Timberwolves' offenses were also initiated from the low post. This time the offense hit a high and low post. Love directly lobbed the ball to Jefferson, and the latter continued to play.

But Krstic is 213cm. Although he suffers from movement, his strength is not bad. The ball withstood two strokes and successfully interfered with Jefferson's shot.

"Kang" the ball hit the front of the basket.

Just as Jeff Green was about to accept the rebound, a big white fat man staggered him directly, and Love made a tip-in with one hand.

This is Love's sense of rebounding. He has always been very accurate in judging the positioning of the ball.

Jeff Green indicated that the ball was his problem, and immediately served the ball to the turtle, quickly dribbled across half court, and came up to play a center forward's pick-and-roll, but there was no chance, and the opponent blocked his breakthrough.

After passing the ball several times in a row, Li Ze made a tactical gesture, and Jeff Green immediately came over to pick and roll Li Ze. Li Ze was simple and rude, and directly accelerated the breakthrough.

Jefferson's attention was attracted, and he just wanted to help defend, but Li Ze flicked his wrist, and the ball flew towards the tortoise who came in through the air.

Turtle took off directly after receiving the ball, pulled the bar in the air and flashed past Jefferson's block, and steadily advanced the ball.

"Beautiful pass, Kayce!"

While retreating from the defense, Guigui loudly signaled Li Ze for a good shot. Evans was inexperienced. Durant made a cover and let Guigui rush in. The weak team just couldn't defend.

The Timberwolves' offense still honestly passed the ball to Jefferson's low post, and he turned inward with two hits, and Jeff Green immediately went over to double-team the interference.

Seeing that the ball was about to be lost, Jefferson vaguely saw a fat figure outside and threw the ball directly.

Love received the ball from outside the three-point line and made a direct nano jumper.

"Shua" was lucky and made a steady hit. Love raised his hands to celebrate the goal.

"Wow, Love scored a three-pointer from the outside, it seems that this offseason he practiced more outside shooting!"

Although the commentator felt that Love had gained weight again, he had to give a voice of praise for the investment.

"Green, you don't need to double-team. I like low-post one-on-one defense." Krstic immediately indicated that his low post is fine.

Jeff Green also patted his chest to show that he understood.

Li Ze dribbled the ball slowly through halftime, and Wilkins immediately came over to press the defense.

But he was too close, and Li Ze accelerated with his left hand holding the ball, then pulled back with his crotch, controlled the ball with his right hand and made a fancy turn, this large-scale movement completely threw off the defense.

Love had no choice but to help defend and shrink, but just as he moved, Li Ze made a concealed pass from behind with his left hand, and the ball quickly flew directly to Jeff Green on the outside.

The latter catches the ball and makes a three-pointer and directly shoots a jumper.

"Shua" hit steadily, and Jeff Green also raised his hand in celebration in response to Love.

"Come on, Wilkins threw too much and was passed by Kayce directly. This pass is really beautiful."

The home commentator couldn't help but sing praises to Li Ze, after all, this behind-the-back pass is full of imagination.

After the Timberwolves' low-post Jefferson finished, it was Love's turn. After the big white fat man caught the ball in the low post, he also slammed Jeff Green with his back and made a turnaround jumper.

"唰" was a steady hit, and a whole body of flesh is still a bit useful.

Jeff Green can't match Love in terms of tonnage. Most teams will hoard some meat shield insiders these days. After all, it is the last glorious period of super centers.

"Kevin, speed up the team's offense, we need to speed up!" When serving, Li Ze whispered to Durant.

Although Coach Brooks asked the team to try to be as stable and patient as possible in offense.

But Li Ze felt that this kind of rhythm is what the Timberwolves like, so what he has to do is to speed up.

The easiest way to speed up is to speed up the offensive rhythm. At present, the core of the team's offense is Durant, so it must be explained clearly.

Li Zeyun made a gesture immediately after halftime, Krstic came up with a false screen, Li Ze handed it to Durant, who received the ball and accelerated the breakthrough with his right hand.

Brewer clung to the defense, but Durant made a sudden stop, pulled up and shot.

"唰" made a sudden stop and hit steadily in the middle distance.

Durant likes defensive players like Brewer who lack strength and have a thin body. He is very experienced in playing such defenses.

This attack was very simple and very fast, because Li Ze understood that the defense of the Timberwolves was just a paper tiger. Faced with this situation, there was no need to use too complicated tactics, and it was over.

The Timberwolves didn't realize that the Thunder had begun to speed up, and they were still attacking in the low post. Jefferson passed the ball to Evans on the outside with two hits.

The little brother has to do the work of taking over the pot!Seeing that time was running out, Evans defended against the tortoise and shot from the outside.

"哐" the shot was crooked, Li Ze had quick eyes and quick hands, and after receiving the long rebound, he directly passed it to the running turtle.

A very precise long pass directly finds the tortoise. After receiving the ball, he takes off violently and dunks with a one-armed tomahawk.

"哐" After dunking the basket, the tortoise still took the tortoise step in a chattering manner.
"Oh!!"

The audience exclaimed when they saw this dunk, and the home commentator's emotions were also suppressed.

The next offense missed, and the Timberwolves realized what it means to be a talent crushing offense.

Li Ze quickly crossed the half court. After several quick hands-offs from the outside line, Li Ze faced Evans' defense, dribbled the ball continuously under the crotch, suddenly changed direction forward, and directly stepped back to make a jump shot.

"Shua" retreated and hit a three-pointer steadily.

After the Timberwolves Brewer hit the iron from the outside, the long rebound was picked up by Li Ze again, and he directly launched a conversion attack. With a pass, he directly found Turtle, who immediately passed the ball to Durant who was fast down.

Against Brewer's return defense, he directly scored the ball. After the goal, Durant looked at Brewer with a smile. This kind of cash machine is simply his favorite!
Wilkins wanted to play a pick-and-roll with Love to bypass the defense, but Li Ze quickly squeezed through, went up and poked the ball away, and then strode towards the opponent's basket.

Directly a rounded windmill dunk.

After the "kuang" dunk, Li Ze returned to defense with a calm expression.

"Squeak" Timberwolves requested a timeout.

"The Thunder played a wave of wonderful offense, we should make substitutions and adjustments."

After the timeout, the Timberwolves adjusted the backcourt combination, Ramon Sessions and Ryan Gomez played, and the Thunder replaced Ibaka and Krstic.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves had Sessions' organization and immediately resumed their rhythm. Jefferson hit Ibaka in the low post and succeeded.

But the Thunder team's offensive rhythm is still fast. All members mentioned the line, passed the ball behind the figure of eight, and the tortoise faced Sainz, accelerated in a straight line, made an emergency stop, and made a jumper.

"Shua" scored easily, Turtle-Shunfeng God of War-Westbrook.

In the next 4 minutes, the Timberwolves' inside players fell into a nightmare. As long as the offense failed to score, the Thunder would immediately switch offenses.

Coming up is Ibaka's pick-and-roll. Li Ze, Guigui, and Durant took turns to attack.

After hitting the iron, Ibaka and Jeff Green can also rush to grab offensive rebounds, which makes the Timberwolves unable to play transition offenses at all, and can only dig low.

However, the pace of the game was fast, and the white fat man Love and the black fat man Jefferson's touch fell. After several missed shots, they were pulled away by the Thunder.

30 to 22, the Thunder made the final attack of the first quarter, and Li Ze pressed the time after halftime.

Ryan Gomez is the same size as Li Ze, but Li Ze's badge bonus is not free. With 10 seconds left, he dribbles the ball with his right hand in a cross step and pulls back quickly.

Suddenly, with a fake move of worshiping Buddha, Gomez was directly sent flying.

[Emergency Stop Master] The badge bonus made Li Ze's emergency stop and quick start move very fast, directly breaking through to the inside line, and Le Fu came over depressed to help defend.

Li Ze didn't play too hard, and directly assigned it to Jeff Green in the bottom corner, who made an open three-point jumper.

"Swish"

When the goal light came on, Jeff Green raised his hands excitedly and shouted loudly.

33 to 22, the Thunder led by 11 points in the first quarter. Li Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It seems that if he leads much, his playing time will be less.
In the first quarter, Li Ze scored 5 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists. He performed very well, but it is estimated that he will be late in the second quarter.

"This group of guys are really fighting against weak teams, and the per capita wind is the God of War"

Li Ze complained silently in his heart.
