"Your ball was so beautiful in the first half!" In the locker room, the Thunder players were talking and laughing, with relaxed faces.

"That's why you passed it in time. In the second half, let's play a few more of that kind of balls."

As soon as Van Gundy walked to the door of the locker room, he heard the conversation between his players. Relaxation is a good thing, but these guys seem to be a little too relaxed. The Timberwolves' desperate resistance in the first half made Van Gundy very afraid. If the Thunder do not follow suit, the gutter may eventually capsize.

"Ahem!" Van Gundy cleared his throat and the locker room became quiet in an instant.

"What's wrong? Minnesota is too cold, you have a cold?" Westbrook was still joking with Van Gundy.

"Save your humor until the end of the game, Russell, how do you think you played in the first half?" Van Gundy stood in front of the big whiteboard.

"Great, aren't we still leading the way?" the players agreed.

"Your offense was indeed good in the first half, but defense... Morris, Ann, do you know how many points Kevin Love has scored?" Van Gundy's eyes fell on these two former Tornado teams' double towers.

"Maybe, 7 or 8 points, it shouldn't be much." Although Morris was scored a few goals by Love, in his impression, Love's performance was just like that.

"Seven or eight points? You let Love's first attack make him calmly get four points! In just half the game, Love already scored 5 points! 5 points gentlemen! Our defense is messy! The reason why we can still lead now is not because we played well, but because the opponent's offense is not full of firepower! Put away your arrogant attitude, the game is not over yet. The three-point gap is not a gap at all!" Van Gundy's tone changed, and no one dared to speak again.

"An! We should be more active in the second half of Love's defense. We would rather give him room to break through than give him any room to shoot."

"Morris, head-on with Jefferson, I know you like to fight with others the most. Don't let him score easily anymore. Don't you have many small moves? Use them all!"

"Russell, Kevin. Your mission is to attack, rush into the inside and cause damage to me. The Timberwolves' most threatening are those two inside players. If they are troubled by the number of fouls, they will definitely be timid. By then, we will fight whatever we want!"

“Sefrosa…”

Van Gundy yiyi assigned tasks to the players, and the players' vigilance was also mobilized by Van Gundy. They carefully recalled Yi's first half game, and it seemed that it was really thrilling and anxious, and it was not easy.

As expected, the Timberwolves' offensive firepower was very strong in the second half. If it weren't for Van Gundy's reminder, the Thunder might have been attacked by the Timberwolves because of their slackness.

Fortunately, the players on the court have a very positive attitude now. However, although they prevented them from being attacked, the Timberwolves still bit the score to death.

"Kevin Love held the ball again, and now An is following him in an endless manner! In the third quarter, Love's offensive efficiency is obviously not that high, which has a lot to do with An's improvement in defense intensity!"

Love was sweating profusely and gritted his teeth. In the second half, An Jie made him feel that way again.

Whether in college or nBa, Anjie's defense has never made him feel good.

Seeing that there was no shooting space and Anjie was on the front, Love decided to use breakthroughs to seek opportunities for himself.

However, the reason why Van Gundy chose to let Anjie defend Love's shooting with all his might is because he is not afraid that Love will break through.

As soon as Love started, An Jie also moved his steps. Love's degree was not fast in the inside line, and it was easy for An Jie to stop him from breaking through.

"Bang!" Love suddenly activated it forward, but he made himself hit An Jie's chest solidly. An Jie did not fall to the ground and cheat for a foul. He still stood in front of Love with a tough attitude. An Jie wanted him to retreat!

Love did not give up. After being knocked back, he suddenly jumped up with this gap. However, An Jie, who was highly focused, was not so easy to be deceived. He and Love jumped almost at the same time. Love found that he had no chance in the air!

After looking around, his teammates were in poor positions, Lefu had no choice but to force himself to take action.

The ball went past Anjie's fingertips, but in order to pass through Anjie's fingertips, the ball thrown by Love can be said to be unpredictable.

The basketball hit the right side of the basket and bounced out. The third time, this was the third time that Love was defeated by An Jie in the third quarter.

After the Thunder's offense, Anjie took on the role of the organizer again. Yiji was serving Durant and Westbrook, and only their breakthrough ability was the strongest.

Although the Thunder former player Damien Wilkins' defense is good, he even feels a little powerless when facing Westbrook.

After receiving the ball, Westbrook didn't even shout at the pick-and-roll, and he forced himself to rush to Wilkins' gate with his abnormal physical fitness.

The reason why Van Gundy was willing to give up Wilkins was because he saw his growing age and decline. Wilkins this season was far less dazzling than last season. Westbrook passed Wilkins cleanly with just 1 steps.

Love tried his best to break free from Angel's shackles, hoping to stop his most capable helper in college. However, Westbrook's degree was even better than in college. Love not only failed to interfere with Westbrook's layup, but also made a foul.

"Love! Did you commit another foul? If Love fouls again, it would have been 4 times!" Even the commentator was worried about Love.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves made a foul, but the person who fouled was not Love, but the Timberwolves small forward Corey Brewer who was chasing back for a foul.

Although Love escaped the disaster, Corey Brewer also had 4 fouls. All of this was thanks to Durant.

The Thunder still controlled the pace of the game and they still maintained the lead. But what's terrible is that the Timberwolves never gave up. The biggest difference between the two sides has only been 5 points since the third quarter. Until the third quarter, the situation did not change.

"You know how powerful the Timberwolves are, right? But don't worry, everyone has done a good job so far. We just need to play in the fourth quarter according to the previous method, and the final victory will eventually belong to us!" Van Gundy did not make too many tactical arrangements during the break during the festival. Because it is obvious that the Timberwolves cannot crack the current Thunder's deployment. If possible, they would have reversed the score.

"Love was very embarrassed by An Jie in the third quarter, and only 4 points were recorded. You should know that in the second quarter, Love got 4 points with just one offense. Of course, I am not criticizing Morris, after all, Morris did a good job in defending Jefferson. In the second quarter, when deciding on the victory or defeat, the showdown between Love and An will be directly related to the direction of the game!"

The explanation of cBs TV station is correct. After using the outside attack in the third quarter, the Timberwolves in the fourth quarter will definitely strengthen their defense against Durant and Westbrook. Therefore, in the fourth quarter, people saw Anjie taking the initiative to start a showdown with Love.

"Coach Van Gundy has changed his strategy! He no longer uses Durant and Westbrook to attack, but instead uses Angel as the main attack point of the Thunder! The Thunder, there are quite a few points that can score!"

The Thunder's offensive center of gravity suddenly changed like this, and it was indeed caught off guard by the Timberwolves. When An Jie leaned on Love, Love thought An Jie was just a feint. Unexpectedly, An Jie suddenly leaned against him and turned around and rushed to the basket.

When Love, who was not responding in time, only saw An Jie wearing a blue yi6 jersey hanging on the box. On the first attack, An Jie made a fight!

However, before the Thunder players could be proud, Corey Brewer scored the ball with a very difficult layup. This guy is sometimes so magical. Although his overall strength is very average, the occasional wonderful ball can make people surprised.

"Brewer's trolley layup was amazing. He first broke through Durant, and then avoided the blocks of Angel and Morris in the air. Even Kobe Bryant would not be able to replicate this ball!"

Both sides have offense and defense, which is also a microcosm of the fourth quarter game. However, the Thunder still has a slight advantage.

Not long after playing in the fourth quarter, Van Gundy started the rotation, and the Timberwolves, Cote Lambis, was also saving his strength for the final decisive battle.

By the last three minutes when the main players of the Thunder played again, the Thunder had gradually expanded their advantage to 8 points. It was not impossible to chase 8 points in three minutes. But most people have already sentenced the Timberwolves to death in advance.

Cory Brewer "graduated" after a foul on Livingston. Al Jefferson's performance in the second half was really bad, and his shooting rate was terrible. Others? Others' performance today was very similar. Looking forward to their last moment, it was simply a dream.

Is there no hope for the Timberwolves? For most people, yes, the Timberwolves will lose. But for Kevin Love, the game will be over in a whole yi8o seconds! Yi8o seconds is enough to create a lot of things.

"The Third Young Master of Thunder is back on the stage, they are preparing to collect the game. Kevin Love's performance is excellent enough today, but unfortunately, he did not meet a good opponent."

Love on the court didn't know what the commentator was saying. He only knew that he was not worse than those three guys! He only knew that he wanted to win!
