you are all star

Chapter 315

Chapter 315

After more than half a year of fighting north and south, the regular season is finally over, and the playoffs will officially start next Wednesday. The Timberwolves will play against the Mavericks in the first round.

In order to prepare for the first game of the playoffs next Wednesday, Neil pushed back all gatherings and activities related to him, devoted himself to training, and seriously prepared for the playoffs, because the intensity of the playoffs is three times that of the regular season. More than that, Bill Russell and Larry Bird explained the intensity of the playoffs and the corresponding game tactics and employment skills to Neil, KG and teammates very clearly.

Therefore, he firmly believes that according to Bill Russell and Larry Bird's opinions, strengthen training and strengthen the cultivation of tacit understanding among players. They firmly believe that the first game of the playoffs will usher in a good start.

In order to get off to a good start in the playoffs, the whole team trained desperately. In order for all players to adapt to the high-intensity playoffs, the coach conducted imitation training similar to the playoffs for all their players.

After three or four days of high-intensity hard training, and the coach repeatedly instilled in them some ideas that the playoffs are no different from the regular season, before the game officially started, they were no longer so afraid of the playoffs, but they were more concerned about the playoffs. Sai was full of anticipation and longing, and felt that the environment and atmosphere should be wonderful.

The first game of the Timberwolves playoffs officially started in the Target Center Arena amidst the anticipation and ecstatic cheers of the crowd.

The tall Nowitzki looked at Neil and KG calmly and smiled, walked towards them and greeted them: "Hi, KG, Neil! We meet again, we really don't know each other!"

Neil looked at Nowitzki, not stealing KG's limelight, but looked at him, gestured to Nowitzki.

"Yes, we don't know each other without playing. Every time I meet you on the court, I am not to be outdone. I have shown the fans a different perspective and experience. In this regard, I feel wonderful, but I don't know what happened in the playoffs. I don't know if we can compete against each other on the stage, but I really look forward to you being able to beat me once, because I beat you up when we met before, so that you can't find Bei, I look forward to it You came here for revenge, that is respect for me, that is that you think highly of me, and at the same time, the two of us fighting against each other can bring enough vitality to the center of the target."

"Wolf King, are you kidding me?"

"NO..."

"If I blow you up, the whole Target Center will die, right?"

"Derby, think about it, if I'm so easy to get blown up, can I still lead the team to the playoff stage? Can I still blow you up again and again?"

"Wolf King, is it normal to win or lose on the court? I know you are very strong, but don't keep bragging in front of me!" Derby was a little upset when he heard the Wolf King speak so contemptuously of himself, and he sneered back.

"Whether you're bragging or not, you'll know when you test it on the court." The wolf king replied without humility.

"Okay, then let's see you on the court."

As soon as the words fell, Nowitzki raised his head and smiled and walked towards his teammates who were warming up, thinking in his mind: "Well, you Garnett, do you really think you are No. 1 in the league? How dare you do that Look down on me, today I want to see how good you are, I have to blow you up, let you know that Derby is not very hot."

Because the two had such a quarrel in advance, at the beginning of the game, the two men were on the verge of fighting each other. Nowitzki was better at jumping the ball. The jumper is the first to hit the ball, the first to fire, and help the team win the first point.

After scoring a goal, when he passed by the wolf king during the retreat, he glanced at the wolf king with contempt, and quickly retreated to the backcourt.

The wolf king was very upset seeing Derby's eyes like this, but it was true that he couldn't defend that round just now. In order to humiliate him and take revenge on him, Derby took out his nirvana - golden rooster independence.

In order to show that he is not weak, and that he is not in vain, the Wolf King returned a three-pointer to the Mavericks against the Derby defense, showing his superstar demeanor.

After the wolf king scored a three-pointer this time, the two officially tied the knot.

You attack me for a goal, and when you come back, you will either assist, or play a back-up single, throw a throw or a fadeaway jumper. Even if the ball is not scored after the shot, both of them want to change from passive to active. They are desperate. To rebound and organize the offense.

Because Nowitzki is much taller than Wolf King Garnett, he lost his attitude on offensive or defensive rebounds.

For this reason, even though the Mavericks were not as good as the Timberwolves in shooting percentage, they still led by 8 points after the first quarter.

We will fight again in the second quarter, because the Wolf King, in order to fight against Nowitzki, lost his mind that the wolf is a kind of animal that relies on unity to survive and develop, and blindly fights alone. This is something that the coach dislikes KG. Will be sitting on the bench, seeing that the score is [-] points behind the Mavericks, and this is the playoffs, the nature is extraordinary, so he continues to keep KG on the court, but before KG goes into battle again, the Repeatedly emphasize one point: "Kevin, I hope you understand that the stage of the playoffs is not your stage alone, so stop fighting alone, there is no need to get angry with a player who has just entered the league for less than four years, You should always understand that at this time of the playoffs, if you lose, you will lose the championship, you will lose all your efforts so far last year, you will lose the entire series, and you can only start again next year. Therefore, I think What you want is the victory of the game, not the number of points you scored in this game. If you lose in the end, even if you beat Nowitzki in scoring, you are still a loser. Therefore, you are a smart player. You can tell which is more important."

After a short break in the first quarter, the two teams returned to the court to start a new round of wits and courage. After the start of the second half, the wolf king has undergone earth-shaking changes. From the previous Neil who organized the attack around him, to the current him Organize an attack around Neil.

With such a change in tactics, the entire team came back to life. After five consecutive offensive rounds, they succeeded three times, with an offensive efficiency of 60.00%, while the Mavericks only succeeded twice, and they were all mid-range shots. He didn't score a goal with three-point shots, single offensive methods and low offensive efficiency, which was a headache for Nowitzki, but just when the Wolf King was about to lead the team to chase points frantically, Derby jumped to Neil. A death block, the anger in Neil's heart was aroused at once, he looked at Derby and smiled, organized the offense with the ball, near the three-point line, after a wave of trickery, shook off the Mavericks defending his players , a three-pointer shot with a fallback, and the ball went out of the net hollowly.

Even though Neil pierced his heart with a three-pointer and hit it steadily, the opponent's main force was still on the wolf king. Their behavior gave Neil hope in despair. He took advantage of the fact that the opposing coach hadn't returned After being overwhelmed, he desperately scored points, scored points after getting rid of the one-man defense one after another, quickly tied the score and overtook it. At this time, the Mavericks coach realized that Ke Neil had completely opened up. No one could stop him. who fouled.

In desperation, he double-teamed and defended him, but Neil came up again and again with needle-like passes, mid-air dodge passes, and lob passes to his teammates. With such skills, only Nowitzki's The Mavericks had a blast.

In the end, they defeated the Mavericks at home by a few points and got a good start. He scored a team-high 22 points and is a well-deserved MVP and a well-deserved hero.

After the game, the audience stood up and applauded him, cheered for him, and chanted his name: "Neil, Neal...MVP, MVP! You are an All-Star, you are a hero of Minnesota, we love you!"

Hearing such a familiar voice, Neil was very much like the dream that the real Neil once told him through letters, his childhood dream, at this moment it is so real and so within reach.

He thought for a while amidst such voices, and said shallowly: "I want to let this voice continue, I want to become an All-Star, and break through the voices of doubt."
