Oden beat Hibbert with a jump ball, and then Budinger got the ball that Oden flicked, first secured the ball, and then handed the ball to Rubio.

After Rubio received the pass, he immediately dribbled the ball past half-court. The Pacers' defense was very fast. Before Rubio had even passed the midline, the five players were already in their respective defensive positions.

Then when he came to the left side, Rubio directly handed the ball to Middleton who stepped forward to respond. The moment Middleton received the ball, Yi Jianlian had already mentioned the preparation for the pick-and-roll from the high post, and

Budinger in the bottom corner also moved towards Middleton, and after passing the ball, Rubio inserted it diagonally from the left and ran towards the weak side.

And when Rubio was running to the weak side, George Hill who was guarding Rubio was blocked by Middleton who was holding the ball, so Stevenson, who was originally responsible for guarding Middleton, had to switch defenses with Hill.

.

What followed was a continuous pick-and-roll between Yi Jianlian and Budinger.

This set of tactics of the Timberwolves is no longer a secret in the league, but it has become a headache for many team coaches. The reason is very simple. The dislocation caused by this unlimited pick-and-roll will either lead to a big hit or a small one.

It's a small fight against a big problem. If it's just a simple misalignment, it's not that difficult to solve.

After all, although the big players have an advantage in height when playing small, most of the offensive hot spots of the inside players are near the three-second zone and lack the shooting ability from the outside. Therefore, many teams generally have tall players after mentioning the high pick-and-roll.

, it serves more as a receiving point for passing the ball, and then completes the attack by passing down the line.

But the Timberwolves are a bit rogue. A 2-meter-13 big man, after completing the pick-and-roll, settles on the outside to complete the three-point shot. This makes the requirements for defensive players a bit high after a mismatch is formed.

And it's not a three-pointer at the power forward level. It's not easy to worry about in Budinger's position. The reputation of the nerve knife is gradually rising in the league. Maybe he can't shoot no matter how hard he feels today.

Come on, but this thing belongs to metaphysics, you can't completely guard against him, because once he gets the feeling, it will be too late for you to stop him.

Just like this Timberwolves offense.

After Yi Jianlian picked and rolled, Middleton did not hand the ball to him, but to Budinger, who had been ignored. When the basketball was in Budinger's hands, it was almost an open opportunity. The defender guarding him

West has been attracted by Middleton's lateral movement.

Budinger, who catches the ball, has time to make adjustments, but the NeuroKnife is a NeuroKnife. There is no adjustment. Either the hand feels overwhelming, let alone shooting after catching the ball. Even if it floats in the air, the shot will still go in. If the feel is not good,

, you may not be able to advance even if you adjust it to the end of 24 seconds.

There was no adjustment after receiving the ball, and the three-point shot was taken directly.

Whoa! A moment later there were warm cheers and applause.

The DJ at the stadium was also shouting Budinger's name in a roaring voice.

The Timberwolves kicked off the offense with a three-pointer, but Vogel on the other side frowned. If this guy has a good touch, it will be difficult to play the game.

What made Vogel even more uncomfortable was the Pacers' next offense.

After George Hill dribbled the ball past half court, he handed the ball to Paul George. With Yi Jianlian behind him, Paul George started to play in the low post. However, when he just took a posture and prepared to push back, Badin on one side

However, Ge suddenly accelerated and rushed over, and then quickly formed a double-team with Yi Jianlian, and blocked Paul George's passing route.

Seeing this situation, Paul George quickly prepared to collect the ball and then pass it out. However, just as he was about to collect the ball, Yi Jianlian's hand hit the ball in front of him, and the basketball immediately left.

Within Paul George's control, he became even more panicked this time.

In the rush, the basketball was taken by the chicken thief Budinger first.

Then he handed the ball to Middleton who was responding. After getting the ball, Middleton also accelerated forward. The Timberwolves counterattacked. After reaching the frontcourt, Middleton completed the game with a chasing three-pointer.

Fight back.

Vogel, who was standing on the sidelines, turned to look at Chen Dazhuang, who was sitting there as steady as a rock. Coincidentally, Dazhuang also happened to be looking at him. Their eyes intersected, and Dazhuang looked towards Vogel very friendly.

Smiled a little.

Suddenly Vogel wanted to have ten thousand grass-mud horses running by. This guy must have done it on purpose. Vogel was also furious and gritted his teeth. He also regretted looking at this guy. He just didn't expect that this guy's tactical arrangement would be so bad.

Being so decisive, he dared to double-team Paul George when he went up, and he had no intention of being sloppy at all.

At this time, Da Zhuang looked at Vogel who turned his head quickly and smiled in his heart. He had such a stupid mentality. Let's see how I beat you in this game.

Looking back, the Pacers' offense finally scored. George Hill completed a breakthrough against Rubio, and then after Yi Jianlian's defense was in place, he scored the ball with a throw.

At 2 minutes and 47 seconds into the game, as Middleton hit another three-pointer from the outside, Vogel had to call a timeout. This ridiculous three-pointer made the Pacers' scalp numb.

"Vogel called a timeout on the Pacers' side. I have to say that the Timberwolves' three-pointer was really terrifying. It's very difficult for Vogel to endure it until now." Yang Yi also shook his head in the live broadcast room.

He shook his head and said.

"Yes, and it's not just offensive. After watching the two minutes of the game, we can see that Yi Jianlian's task today is not only offensively required by Chen Dazhuang, but also defensively. It can be seen that at least this

The two-minute defense against Paul George was very successful."

"That's right, but I think Paul George's defense was so good thanks to Budinger's help. Today Budinger and Yi Jianlian teamed up to directly defeat the Pacers' strongest player.

The point is locked, Zhang Zhi, what do you think the Pacers should do if they want to break the game?"

"On the outside, we must find a way on the outside. The reason why we are at a disadvantage now is not only because Paul George is in trouble, but I think the main reason is because the Pacers' outside line cannot help Paul George share the offensive pressure.

, including George Hill, the three-point shooting percentage of the three outsiders today is not high. This also makes Budinger's defense against double-teaming Paul George even more unscrupulous. If the outside can be opened, I believe Budinger will not

Dare you do this."

12 to 4, just two minutes into the game, the Timberwolves led by eight points and directly stopped the Pacers.
