The Zen master didn't care about Randy Foye's provocation at all, and the Lakers coaching staff all ignored it.

They never thought of Randy Foye as a rookie at the same level as Bruce.

Randy Foye's clamor seemed to them nothing more than the buzzing of flies. Laughing in vain

After the start of the second quarter of the game, Li Zhen still sat on the bench and sat for the whole quarter. Phil Jackson had no intention of letting Bruce play, and he was adamant about following through on his strength and conditioning trainer's advice.

In his heart, Bruce is the future of the team and the treasure of all Lakers. If he was forced to play because of Randy Foye's provocation, it would really be too much of a joke.

In this quarter, Randy Foye played 5 minutes, but only scored 2 points and 2 turnovers, and his performance was not very good.

The Timberwolves mainly arranged Kevin Garnett to attack in this game, allowing him to continue to complete the strong eating of Eddie Griffin and Lamar Odom at the No. 4 position.

Although Eddie Griffin is known as Little Garnett, his ability to assist in defense is quite KG's, and his blocking level is even higher than that of the Wolf King.

But when Bruce was on the field. He struggled and struggled to receive the ball due to his lack of self-directed attacking ability. And on the defensive end, his help defense is dispensable: he seems to be out of step with the Lakers' defensive system.

Therefore, at the beginning of the second quarter, he was once blown up by KG, and because of his misfit, he also dragged down the Lakers' overall offense.

Then, the Zen master had to be replaced by Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum and Luke Wharton.

After these three came on the court, the Lakers' offense became fluid. Or rather... Kobe Bryant's singles just got a lot more comfortable.

Luke Walton and Lamar Odom are both side-hardened forwards, and with a low post shark Andrew Bynum, it really benefits Bryant's individual play.

But for the Lakers' entire offense, it's actually a decline.

The Zen master frowned on the sidelines, and these preseason games obviously exposed a lot of problems. The Lakers are increasingly having a trend of two teams and two sets of play.

Radmanovic, Eddie Griffin, Sasha Vuljacic and Kwame Brown are the likes of Radmanovic who have clearly played better with Bruce.

And Lamar Odom, Andrew Bynum and Luke Wharton, they obviously have a sense of stasis when they are on the court with Bruce. Odom is a little better, he's a jack-of-all-trades, and it's not hard for him to eat the pie.

But Andrew Bynum and Luke Wharton, one of them is a single-handed center with the ball in the box, and the other is a playmaking forward.

It's a far cry from Bruce's style, and they react negatively to Bruce on the court.

So... Am I just going to get a set of exclusive lineups for Bruce to execute fast play?

The Zen master has been thinking about this question for a long time.

Even after entering the locker room, this is true.

For him, the importance of this is far greater than the team's five-point deficit at half-time.

Therefore, he did not adjust his tactics in the locker room.

At the beginning of the second half, the Lakers continued to play the same lineup as before, Jordan Farmal, Kobe Bryant, Luke Wharton, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum.

The competitive Kobe Bryant quickly came on the court and couldn't stand the team's down. The most paranoid player in the world today quickly made a surprising move, as he made a strong run into the paint after a steal from Ricky Davis and forced the basketball into the basket with the Wolf King on his shoulder, resulting in a two-and-one.

This move confirms his strength, and it also highlights how little assistance the Lakers' other players have given him.

Minnesota, on the other hand, was forced to steal at the beginning of the second half.

But their overall offensive turned out to be inexplicably smooth tonight.

After Kevin Garnett opened the game with a jumper from the free-throw line, his strategy sent a bunch of players around him to follow suit.

When rookie Randy Roy came on the court in the fifth minute of the third quarter, he took the chemistry to the extreme.

He first used a reverse run, invaded the basket, received a pass from Garnett, and forced a layup against Bynum to extend his score to 14 points.

Then he successfully defended Jordan Famar in the frontcourt, and then assisted Ricky Davis to hit a jumper.

He contributed for two rounds in a row.

And when he took advantage of Kevin Garnett's cover and hit a three-pointer directly.

His momentum was at its peak.

As he clenched his fists, he let out another defiant roar.

The fans immediately booed, and some fans even shouted: We-need-Bruce!!

We need Bruce.

Obviously, no one likes this villainous guy.

And Phil Jackson finally got up at this moment and made a decision: a timeout.

He finally figured it out.

When the main players return to the field.

He directly announced: "Five up and five down!" ”

"Bruce, Sasha, Radmanovich, Eddie Griffin, Kwame Brown, the five of you. The tactical style of play is dominated by the blues, the one that you often practice in training camp. ”

"I need to see your fighting power, this is your chance. I hope you can give all the fans in the stadium something new. ”

The Zen master said seriously.

His words were tantamount to telling Bruce: you can get out of the triangle offense and let it go; However, you have to play to the advantage.

It's his indulgence with Bruce and a test for him.

If Li Zhen and these teammates complete it successfully, then... Perhaps before the start of the regular season, there will be one or even many new tactical routes in the playbook.

This is extremely important for everyone.

So, everyone is full of ambition.

Other Lakers players were extremely envious, because before this, the Zen master was very strict with tactical requirements, and he even made each player fit enough to force them into the triangle system.

Now, however, he went to give Bruce such freedom.

That's too flattering, isn't it?

"I think I should be allowed to play to stabilize the morale of the army." Kobe Bryant's words surprised Luke Wharton and others even more. The Black Mamba actually wants to escort Bruce? Crazy!! Why did this rookie gather thousands of favorites as soon as he entered the team. The head coach loves to die and live, and Bryant has actually changed from a cold male god to a licking dog.

"No, they'll have to do it themselves!" The Zen master is very determined.

And while they were discussing it, it was also being discussed in the ESPN live broadcast room.

As Randy Foyer got better and better, Reggie Miller became more and more relaxed: "Now it's Bruce's turn, right?" If he doesn't play again, this duel will be completely ruined. ”

"But even if he plays, I don't think he'll be able to defend Randy Ferye, who is in great form, like he did when he started."

Reggie Miller was always on Randy Foye's side.

However, McBrin had other ideas, and he frowned and said, "I always thought that Randy Ferye would be cleaned up." He has already done Bruce a lot of good in this game, he has earned Bruce the love of the fans in the stadium, and he has also let Los Angeles fans know that Bruce is the best point guard for the Lakers. Next... What will he give Bruce to gain? ”

Backbite!

The whistle blew.

When people saw Li Zhen with a group of rotation players, everyone was surprised?

"Is this here to be funny?" Reggie Miller said funny.

McBrin raised an eyebrow: "Bruce is the absolute core of this lineup, does he want to show that he has the potential to become a superstar?" ”

Immediately, he became extremely excited: "I know, I know!" Randy Foye is about to help Bruce prove his leadership skills. ”

Forehead....

Next to Reggie Miller has a black line.

He felt like his partner had gone mad.

It's all not next to each other.

Bruce can still defeat the Timberwolves led by KG with this lineup that is going to die, you must know that before... They have defeated the Lakers regulars!

Reggie Miller believes that McBlin has lost his ability to think normally.

At the same time, Randy Foye also took the initiative to go to Bruce. He regained his confidence after Li Zhen's departure, and Jordan Farmar and Smash Parker gave him immense confidence, and he thought he was about to overturn Li Zhen.

"It's finally time for you, you finally didn't continue to be a shrunken turtle on the bench."

"It's time for the world to know who the best point guard of 2006 was."

Randy Foye's tone was sharp.

Li Zhen thought he was noisy: "Didn't anyone say that your voice was like a castrated goat?" ”

"And, trust me. Words don't help you in any way, they just keep your emotions out of balance and then break down again after the blow. ”

Bruce was taught.

He's sure he's not trash-talking, but he's causing Randy tons of damage that goes far beyond trash talk.

Backbite!

The referee blew the whistle and Eddie Griffin hurriedly went over to serve the sideline.

The game is back on.
