Chapter 1066 Rose’s Changes (Third Update!)

Timberwolves head coach Thibodeau reached out and called a timeout.

The Pelicans players on the field had already rushed to Tang Tian, ​​shouting at him.

A dunk of this level will be just as good no matter how many times you try it!

After the timeout came back, the two sides took further turns.

For the Timberwolves, Towns and Rubio were both substituted.

For the Pelicans, Butler and Dedmon also came off the court to rest.

Tang Tian's extra penalty shot came back.

23 to 8, the Pelicans have extended their lead to 15 points.

In the Timberwolves' offense, Wiggins faced Bojan, turned around continuously and hit a fadeaway shot towards the baseline.

Finally, he didn't have to be locked up by Butler, and he finally performed.

The goal was scored beautifully, and it also attracted a burst of cheers from the audience.

Looking back, Wiggins continued to defend Tang Tian.

He worked very hard, but he was still passed by Tang Tian.

Wiggins' defense basically relies on talent, but this is of no use in front of Tang Tian.

Tang Tian suddenly came to the inside and jumped into the air for another tomahawk dunk.

Gibson came to help defend, and when he saw that he couldn't cover it, he wanted to pull it directly.

Tang Tiantian made a 360° turn in the air and turned around like this!

The fans at the scene were stunned.

This stasis in the air is a lie!

But Tang Tian did just that, and after turning around, he dunked the ball with his right hand and smashed the ball into the basket!

This is simply amazing!

In the commentary box, Barkley and Smith also imitated O'Neal and made the "10" gesture.

Full score is 50 points, no more!

The fans at the scene burst into cheers again.

They think the tickets are a good deal.

Being able to see Tang Tian's various dunk shows, and actually dunking in action, is even more exciting than a dunk contest!

But just after the ball, a short whistle sounded on the court, and Stevens replaced Tang Tian with Lamb.

There was a commotion on the sidelines.

They were looking at it enthusiastically when Tang Tian was replaced!

Tang Tian was also a little confused when he left the field.

When passing by Stevens, Stevens came over and patted him on the shoulder, and then whispered something.

"Leave a fine line in being a human being."

This sentence directly amused Tang Tian.

Stevens is really cool.

But it's true.

What was originally a dunk showdown between Tang Tian and LaVine has turned into a purely personal show for Tang Tian.

Moreover, Wiggins has already smashed his thermos. If you show him off like this, something will happen.

Wiggins hit Kuzma in a misplaced position in the frontcourt and scored another goal.

Kuzma's immediate combat ability is good, but there is still a lot of room for defensive improvement.

Wiggins broke the thermos cup and scored 4 points in a row, and the Timberwolves continued to maintain a 13-point gap.

During this period, they were in a stalemate with the Pelicans.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 31 to 16.

The Timberwolves trailed by just 15 points.

Back in the second quarter, both teams had one main player and four substitutes.

The Timberwolves are led by Towns, plus Tyles Jones, Dunn, Bjelica and Gibson.

The Pelicans are led by Butler, plus Rose, Lamb, Kuzma and Harrell.

The absence of Walker and Davis still has an impact on the Pelicans.

The 15-point difference is not big, and the Timberwolves still have a chance.

Especially in this transition period from the bench, if they play well, there is a high possibility that they will have a stalemate with the Pelicans at halftime.

The Pelicans attacked first, but Lamb missed a three-point opportunity from the outside and the basketball hit the frame.

Towns protected the defensive rebound.

Looking back, Towns took advantage of his height to receive a pass from Jones inside and scored 2+1 against Harrell.

This ball shows personal talent.

After making steady extra free throws, the Timberwolves had narrowed the point difference to 12 points.

There were constant cheers.

"Stevens is a little too confident."

In the commentary box, Barkley said.

"The Timberwolves did a good job tonight."

Kenny Smith chimed in.

Wiggins broke the thermos cup, coupled with Towns' good performance, the Timberwolves realized their talent tonight.

On the other hand, with Walker and Davis absent from the Pelicans, this period of substitute transition will be a bit uncomfortable.

Coupled with some support from Stevens, the Timberwolves really looked like they had a chance tonight.

"Defend! Defend!"

It wasn't just Barkley who felt this way, the fans at the scene also felt it, and they cheered for the home team in unison.

With 12 points, after one wave of defense and another wave of attack, the Timberwolves had a chance to narrow the point difference to single digits.

The average age of the Timberwolves team is low, and the cheers of the fans are very effective.

Relying on defensive enthusiasm, they defended the Pelicans for almost 24 seconds.

Compared to Tang Tian and Walker, Butler's ball handling is still a little behind.

After being double-teamed, it was difficult for him to score.

Butler's strong shot from a double team missed the basket.

However, Harrell showed his ability and pulled the ball out from the inside.

Rose got the ball and had a three-point opportunity, and he shot it directly.

Such a choice would never have happened before, but it is not surprising that it happened to Rose now.

Rose has not played in the regular season for the Pelicans, but has played in the preseason.

At that time, he had already shown the three-point shooting he had practiced with the Pelicans.

Although there has been a truce since then, the non-confrontation three-point shooting training has continued.

This ball is a jump shot, but the trajectory after the shot looks very positive.

"Uh-huh!"

With a crisp sound, Rose made a key three-pointer!

Thibodeau stretched out his hand to rub his forehead and shouted at the players on the field. When he finally looked at Rose, he was very pleased.

Everyone thinks that it was Thibodeau who deposed Rose in the Bulls, but only they know what happened.

Problems with his playing style destined Rose to be scrapped sooner or later, and Rose's success in the first place was inseparable from Thibodeau.

This three-pointer was crucial, and the point difference on the field returned to 15 points.

Looking back, Butler also began to work hard on the defensive end and successfully prevented Bjelica's wave of receiving attacks.

The Pelicans' frontcourt tactics, Rose received a pass from Butler, deceived Jones with a three-point fake shot, and accelerated to break through.

He seemed to be going straight to the basket, but after Gibson came to defend him, he released the ball early and hit the ball to Harrell under the basket.

After receiving the ball, the latter was unguarded and violently dunked with both hands on the spot.

Rose has really changed.

Not only can he shoot three-pointers, but he's also happy to share the ball.

Butler continued to show his defensive skills and assisted in destroying Towns' attack at the basket.

The Pelicans play defensive counterattack.

Butler reciprocated and assisted Rose for a layup.

The Pelicans launched a 7-0 offensive in the blink of an eye, instantly widening the point difference to 19 points!

Buckley's mouth is really poisonous.

It was said before that the Mavericks and Pelicans were evenly matched, but the Mavericks turned around and were pushed to the ground and rubbed.

He just said that Steven Stowe is great, but now the Pelicans are on the rise again!

Thibodeau called timeout again.

Rose received a warm welcome from his teammates when he came off the court.

In this period, he personally contributed 5 points and 1 assist, which was the key to the Pelicans opening the score.
