The Timberwolves also didn't play well in the second quarter, the bench lineup was still defended, the Lakers' second lineup was not bad at all, the defense was very active, the athleticism was OK, single defense, top defense, change defense, chasing defense and making up hats, veterans were all experience, even if it was Nick. Young and Famar were a little behind, and the defense of the remaining three was enough. Because the Timberwolves have come off the bench except for one Shabazz. The rest of Mohammed is also very average, and LaVine should have been a good substitute, but unfortunately he did not appear in the team squad tonight due to physical discomfort, so he relied on a Shabazz. Muhammad was a little lonely.

It would be nice to have a LaVine on the other side to attract firepower, but now it means that the Lakers are guarding him alone. This season's Purple and Gold is not last season, and the defense is very systematic, unless Shabazz. Muhammad threw big three-pointers, otherwise he could easily get bogged down in the Lakers' defense. And Muhammad's three-point shooting is not good at all, the shooting rate this season is less than 3 percent, he is a strong breakthrough finishing type, but the Lakers' help defense, he can't break it.

At least the hit rate is low.

In the second quarter, the main players began to play one after another, the Timberwolves had not scored 15 points, and the Lakers' defense was really improving step by step as the season progressed. Because at the beginning of the season, Mohammed did not feel such a lot of defensive pressure.

This team's defense is so powerful, so powerful that if you want to attack, you feel like you can't start.

The team that is the number one team in the league in defensive efficiency, and is far ahead of the second place, is not fake.

Moreover...... This is still a substitute lineup, if you face the main lineup, Mohammed really doesn't dare to think about it.

Thanks...... I'm not a starter. He actually had this thought in his heart for a moment.

Wiggins came up first, and the Lakers made a sudden change of formation at the beginning, grabbing a circle for the former, Wiggins didn't notice, and by the time he started to resist, it was too late. Because his body was too thin, about 30 pounds lighter than Butler, it was too difficult to get back after a misposition. The ball was directly tackled by Butler, or passed directly to Butler's hands. Butler attacked, because Rondo hadn't come up yet, so he just dribbled over and hit it himself.

It's hard to say that he beats other people, but Butler still has a lot of confidence to beat the "champion" in front of him.

It's sad that both champions have become sparse defensively with the Timberwolves. You know, they were very good defensively in college, and as a result, they came to this kind of team training...... The team culture has quickly turned them into a "strong offense and weak defense" type. Although now, "strong offense and weak defense" is a star trend in the league, do you see how many stars are still integrated with offense and defense? So on the surface, it's not a big problem. But when they encounter an opponent who integrates offense and defense, or the defensive system bonus, they will not feel very comfortable playing. Now Wiggins is coming to terms with this unfortunate process.

He can't get in, but people can beat him, obviously they all have similar scoring ability, and they are all the threshold level of the league's quasi-first-class scorers, why is the gap so big? Wiggins really wanted to cry, but he just thought about it, and he didn't even think about improving from the defensive side. Butler caused Wiggins for a defensive foul and made 1 of 2 free throws.

At this time, Wiggins began to bet on three points, and lost one and two consecutive irons, allowing the Lakers to widen the score difference even more.

The Timberwolves wanted to play a hanging pass inside, but it was cut by Covington, and Butler played Wiggins again, and then scored!

After playing such a wave in a row, Butler needs to slow down a little, after all, he still has to defend, unlike a player like Wiggins, who only needs to attack and not defend. If he dares to do that, Larry. Brown rolled him down in minutes to die.

The Timberwolves have replaced Rubio, the starting point guard, and Rubio led the team to a 7-0 mini-spurt that the team scored more than 20 points, which is really gratifying. The Lakers played Rondo and Tang Qian at this time, and the Timberwolves also replaced Towns. Now that most of the main players of both sides have returned, the substitution time has slowly come to an end. Rubio broke through Rondo once with the help of a pick-and-roll, but he didn't go far before he was caught by the Lakers, who were bold enough to let Wiggins go. Rubio struggled to pass the ball because Butler came to defend, so it looked like only the No. 4 position could be made up for the ball.

Who is the number 4 now? It's not Bosh, it's Robert. Covington.

Covington has a good sense of defense in this ball, and he is also very fast, coupled with a height of 206CM and an arm span of 218CM, he has both speed and defensive radiation range, his timely appearance is something Wiggins did not expect, this ball is greatly interfered with, and he knows that he can't get in as soon as he shoots. The Lakers attacked, Don cut inside and outside, and Ariza dribbled and hit a shot.

The Timberwolves also wanted to play pass-through, but they found that the Lakers simply didn't have any gaps for them to drill.

This lineup seems to be more powerful on the defensive end than the start just now.

I can't open the pass, I can't pick up if I want to speed up, I want to break through with the block, but I was also defended by the Lakers, and the latter's team's ability to change defense was upgraded again all of a sudden! This makes the Timberwolves players want to curse a little, hey, hey, please, it's the offensive era, okay, it's really inappropriate for you to play like this.

Can't we score a few goals as well?

The answer is, no.

Larry. Brown watched from the sidelines, and although he didn't make a move, his brain was also racing, and he was observing and thinking about what flaws and room for reform in this lineup. Seriously, this lineup is used to ......

And he is now working on a super defensive tactic, this super defensive tactic, which needs this lineup to support.

Well, this base salary kid is not bad, I underestimated him, his defensive potential, quite big.

Heh, this kind of player was let go of the Houston Rockets like this? Brain w?

But think about the Rockets' signing slumps over the years, Larry. Brown was relieved, Morey is a typical data controller, and people themselves admit it, so everything is data-only. That set of "2K theory" Morey is the originator. I was forced to find the Knicks to come to Jordan. Hill, the result is eye-catching, Jordan. Hill doesn't have the strength of his college days at all, he's just an average bench player. And then there's Jeremy Lin, Taylor. Ennis, trade Battier for Hassim. Tabitt, McDaniels, Tate. Lawson and so on, the list goes on, and there's nothing wrong with adding another Covington.

But it takes a few more games to know that the Timberwolves are still too weak after all, and they have not been beaten by Larry at all. Brown treated him like a real opponent.

Don't look at the potential players or even a lot of potential stars, but they can't play, and the team as a whole is chaotic, which is also a fact. Larry. Brown pays more attention to the actual situation, the players who didn't play, the team that didn't play well, the cards were good, and he didn't do it at all. Otherwise, how did you lead the "Civilian Pistons" to defeat the "Gorgeous Lakers F4"?

It's just pragmatism.

After a few consecutive rounds of iron, the Lakers have extended the score difference to 19 points, and even if the Timberwolves sometimes throw in a few three-pointers, it can't change the overall iron-clad situation. And as I said before, this Timberwolves team shoots very few three-pointers and doesn't have a high shooting percentage, and it's hard to rely on three-pointers to recover the situation.

So in order to bite the score and drag the suspense into the second half, you still need to find a stable scoring point to score.

Three-point shooting is not a powerful weapon for this team that averages 15+ three-pointers per game and shoots 3-in-3.

On the empty side, Towns received the ball, and Tang Qian looked at the No. 32 of the Timberwolves and said, "What are you going to do?" Rookie. ”

Downs has just tried to break through the basket, block and roll down, back attack and other shots, but they don't feel very good, and they haven't scored a single point so far. Do you want to be blocked in the first half? Want to be a tragic existence like Okafor of the 76ers? No, I'm not like him, I'm the number one center in the league in the future, and my attacking style is a hundred times richer than Okafor!

So he came up with a solution, which ordinary centers can't do, to shoot directly.

Attack with projectiles.

Brush~

Also went in.

Tang Qian was a little surprised by him, because he didn't expect this guy to dare to play like this, the Lakers didn't score in the next round, the Timberwolves' rebound, and then attacked. It was still given to Downs, and this time Downs directly dribbled a back pull, thinking it was a breakthrough, but it was a mid-range projection.

Brush~

Again!

4 points in a row!

The Target Center was immediately enthusiastic, which also made Downs feel confident again, and said, "See? I'm not like them, and I'm not like you! I'm a true all-round center! After saying that, he turned around and left, and when he left, he made a celebration gesture to the audience, which raised the atmosphere of the audience again. Tang Qian looked at this person's back and muttered, "The projection ability is so good? Look again. ”

Covington missed three points, the Timberwolves attacked, this time Tang Qian obviously stood up a little more, but who knows, this time the Timberwolves' No. 32 directly dribbled and retreated farther, this ball is estimated to be 22~23 feet, and if there is a little more, it will be out of the three-point line. Raise your hand, the basketball flies out, and it hits.

"Carl. Towns!!!!!!!!!! "There was a shout from the sound system of the target center, and it was the voice of the on-site narrator.

You don't need to look at it, it's very exciting, because Towns's three consecutive balls are too critical and morale-boosting, and the Lakers' offense misses help the Forest team recover a lot of points at once. On the Lakers' side, who would have thought that there was a problem in the C position? This is a rare occurrence so far.

Tang Qian is the defensive core of this team, Dinghai Shenpin, if he is blown up, this defensive system will also be greatly affected.

How can you shoot from such a distance? Is it still so accurate? This guy has such a strong projection ability.

It is normal for Tang Qian to be surprised, this season, Downs has made nearly 3 long-distance 2-point shots, and the shooting rate is optimistic, as high as 50%. Yes, you read that right, it's 50% against the sky!! Anyway, it's too accurate!! It's at the top of the league's mid-range shooting for interior players. Regardless of the difficulty of the shot, there are few outside players who can compare to him. Even Bosh, who is good at projection, has only one season in his career that he can overtake in this point, and the rest are all poor.

And don't forget, he's taller than Bosh and his shots are harder to interfere with and block.

"Dongfang Iron, did you see it? That's my counterattack! This game has just begun!! "Downs even hit the three yuan, and it's normal to have a little stinky fart, after all, he is still an American player, and he doesn't pay attention to so many "respect for the old and love the young" and "modest and low-key". Of course, the main thing is that Downs' projection ability is really strong and accurate.

He hasn't developed much of a three-point shot this season, and he'll be even more ranged in the future.

Larry. Brown was about to call a timeout, because it was still on his own defensive core to be scored in a row, and he thought that he should call a timeout to slow down and adjust his state. However, he was looked at by Tang Qian on the court, and then waved his hand, the meaning of this is already very clear, the Lakers No. 29 is saying, there is no need.

Really? Can you handle it? Then I'll give you another chance and see if your performance can make me end this suspension.

For the request of the core player, Larry. Brown still chose to take care of it once, but only this time, not again, immediately paused, no negotiation. He is not a head coach like "Zen Master" and "Cole", and he can't give him that opportunity to make mistakes.

This is Tang Qian, if he is replaced by the rest of the people, he will not think about it at all, he will not have a chance, and he will directly pause.

Penguin Webcast.

How can he project so well? Throwing farther and farther? I also hit 3 in a row! This Downs is really not simple. is worthy of his champion status, and he is better than Okafor.

Is this a white eye? Suddenly a striker?

No, not to mention the front line, many outside players are inferior to those few balls just now. Terrible.

Donkey is not easy to play, he has encountered such a freak, and I hope the team will make adjustments as soon as possible.

It's brutal! Downs Awakens! He won't lose to Tang Qian tonight! Tang's short shot is dangerous~

You sunspot, get out of here, once Tang Qian doesn't play well, you'll be you, you're an idle egg, right?

How? If you hit poorly, you don't allow people to spray? You Tang Mi, you are so anxious to wash the floor for Tang Qian. Is it ready to reverse black and white? It's ridiculous! I said a long time ago that Tang Qian is not so magical, as long as there is a center who can shoot, you can break the so-called "absolute defensive field" in your mouth. Unfortunately, now that kind of person has appeared, and he is Downs. Tang Qian's future nemesis.

Yu Jia also said anxiously: "I didn't expect Towns to shoot so accurately, this time the Lakers will be difficult to do, and ordinary defense changes will not work." Yangyi also nodded and said: "That's right, because Downs is too tall, ordinary short players can actually put little defensive pressure on the former when they change defenses." The big man has to go out to give enough defensive threat and defensive interference. ”

"If the Lakers can't guard against this point, there is a real possibility that Towns will lead the whole team alive."

"That's not going to be easy."

But Tang Qian didn't worry about these things, because at this moment, he felt that he was a little excited and energetic, and the No. 32 center rookie on the opposite side finally made him not play so simply and ended the game without sweating.

The Lakers attacked, Tang Qian reached the low post, and suddenly said: "Okay, I remember your face, you are indeed better than the center of the 76ers." Just when Tang Si had just put on a "of course" expression on his face, Tang Qian then said, "I will be serious about you, because you have this qualification." ”
