Thibodeau also put a lot of thought into this game.

The Lakers are so strong right now! If you want to win a team like this, although the regular season has just begun, it is still not easy to do.

And the suppression of the Lakers in the first quarter of the game seems to have taken a turn for the better in the second quarter.

Russell didn't dare to relax at this time, he was waiting for Li Feng to give an order at any time in the arena!

When two teams play, if one team can play against each other in a good rhythm, there is no problem.

But this can also happen in the regular season, whether it is teammates or team rhythm, but in the end they are defended by the rhythm of their own team.

Before the opponent starts to defend, his own player creates a "defense" because he is running slowly or fast.

At the moment, what the Lakers are trying to do is control the tempo.

In the second quarter of the game, they suddenly doubled point guards, which made it more difficult for the Timberwolves to defend.

To be exact, they all know Thibodeau's arrangement, but when it comes to a round, they don't know who to defend.

Jones slowly passed the half, and Rubio was chatting with his teammates at this time.

Thibodeau has to be very careful with Wharton, and in recent years, a new generation of managers seems to be on the rise.

Needless to say, the Boston Celtics side.

Like Kidd in previous years, Budenholzer of the Hawks, and Coach Wharton who is now on the other side.

Each of these coaches has a distinct coaching style.

Wharton also had a bad temper. But it has something to do with his age.

The Bucks are changeable, the Hawks play solidly and the team is well-matched, while the Lakers are more complicated.

They have a lot of great players and what Wharton needs to do is put them together to the best they can't do.

Now I see that he is doing a good job.

There are also several uncertainties. In terms of player uncertainties, Kobe Bryant and Li Feng account for the majority.

He'll have to be careful if the Lakers will use any special tactics in the second half.

No matter how the tactics change, as long as there are more players on the field. They were able to do a good job of his temporary defensive assignments.

Eventually, the ball came to Wiggins, who switched defenses with Jones.

In the confrontation between Li Feng and Wiggins, it didn't take long for them to be passed by their opponents.

Goji Boys are still difficult to defend.

But Nance Jr. and Randle immediately stepped forward to defend Wiggins.

In the end, the player was still difficult to defend, and Wiggins finally hit a 2-point jumper from a step-back!

According to Thibodeau's idea, their team will lead until the end, and the third quarter of the game will continue to extend the lead!

Wiggins quickly went back to defend Li Feng at this time, and now when he sees this guy, he wants to stop him immediately, or pass him to the basket to score points!

Li Feng was not in a hurry, just looked at Wiggins so calmly.

The cheers of the fans at the scene were enthusiastic again.

Wiggins: "I want to see how you guys win against our Timberwolves tonight." It should be hard, almost impossible to do."

Li Feng: "Blindly optimistic, brother~"

Wiggins: "Really? You've improved, Li Feng. But it's still not my opponent! ”

Li Feng: "There are more players who are better than me." But which of them now has two championship rings in their hands? ”

Wiggins: "...... That only means that you are lucky."

Li Feng: "You think so too? ”

Wiggins: "......"

The two spoke briefly, and when the time was almost up, Li Feng immediately passed the ball to Lan Dou.

Nance Jr. scored on a jumper immediately after receiving a pass from Randle!

Li Feng wanted to say a few more words to Wiggins, but the latter ran away immediately! Something was said to Jones, and the two switched back.

The wolfberry boy feels that this guy Li Feng is indeed poisonous!

As long as you communicate with you, you will feel that you can't prevent it.

At the point of Little Nance just now, he was originally able to defend it, and he only needed to speed up his pace and jump to prevent that guy.

But it was because he spent too much experience on Li Feng that he accidentally let Xiao Nansi take advantage of the loophole.

Wiggins, who immediately learned his lesson, didn't think much of it and went straight back to his small forward position.

Then the basketball came to Dunn, and he and Russell were in front of each other, and it didn't take long for Russell to score.

Facing Coach Thibodeau, who is known for his defense, one of the Lakers' weaknesses at this time is that their defensive ability is insufficient.

But fortunately, the players played relaxed, and Russell sighed at this point.

Sometimes even if he doesn't slip away, he can't let go of his opponents.

The basketball was passed to Li Feng, and then Li Feng immediately passed it back.

Russell was already in the air and passed to Lore Dun, who hooked up! Then there was a happy look on his face.

Although Li Feng's own passing ability is also limited, with Li Feng, Russell feels that he seems to have understood the true meaning of passing!

As if with the blessing of Li Feng's pass, he felt that he had become smoother in organizing the game.

In a round, some basic skills and tactical play are important.

But if you can know the psychology of the other person, it seems that it will become easier to organize.

Basketball came to Wiggins this time, and the latter once again showed great physical fitness against Nance Jr.

Score a final dunk!

Kobe: "Defense is still a weakness for us. Look at the opponent.

Completely unscrupulous to score there. And there's nothing we can do about him.

If we really encounter a team with explosive strength, we will be in danger."

Wharton: "The overall approach has changed. Defense isn't particularly important either.

The Warriors don't defend well either. But the Warriors won the championship last season.

But I'm not going to shy away from the question. Defensively, you need to talk to the assistant coaches and trainers. And to communicate with you.

I'll talk about this later. Not in the short term. ”

Kobe Bryant's face was already a little unhappy at this time.

Because Wharton apparently didn't take it too seriously.

That's why the team still has such a problem until now. This is actually a bit strict for Wharton.

The Lakers have so much to catch.

Unlike other teams, the Lakers look good everywhere. But it's a problem everywhere!

Some problems can still be thought of, while some problems are not a day's cold, and it is not easy to get rid of them.

Defense, for the Lakers, is very difficult.

The results of the previous two seasons can tell how bad the Lakers are on the defensive end!

It's really impossible for any team to defend against it!

It's useless for Kobe Bryant to defend alone.

At this time, playing on the field, Li Feng felt that although Kobe Bryant would not play today.

Wharton mainly plays games where he trains the Lakers' bench. There is no requirement that the team must win.

But the players on the pitch still want to win in terms of mood.

After all, the Lakers have won so many games now. It would be great if it could keep it up forever!

It is currently the No. 1 team in the Western Conference in the regular season, and now it is also the No. 1 team in the league in terms of win percentage!

You know, last season, such a ranking was dominated by the Warriors.

This time Russell's three-point miss, Gorgui got the rebound, and then Jones received the ball and quickly rushed to the frontcourt!

Faced with an unguarded state, Jones hit a three-point shot directly!

！ Randall had a disappointed look on his face at this point.

Lore Deng: "Let's hurry." Don't let them make the difference even further! ”

At this time, the two big men of the Lakers were a little anxious. It's not often this season that they've been so anxious about the outcome of the team......

The statements of the two of them made the Lakers players on the court feel very excited!

The Lakers are gradually picking up.

Li Feng took the ball to the front court alone this time, and in the first half of the game, if the opponent opened the difference, it would be really disadvantageous for the Lakers!

Because the opponent is a team that is good at defending.

Although they are still a little different from the Chicago Bulls, they are much better now.

Wiggins was by Nance Jr.'s side at this time, and he had been observing Li Feng's actions.

Prepare to give Li Feng a bloody cap at any time!

But Jones immediately received a foul, and Li Feng hit both free throws at the free throw line!

In the first quarter, the margin was stretched to seven points. After the Timberwolves came up with all the main forces, it was indeed very deterrent!

In this quarter of the game, Li Feng set himself the goal of narrowing the difference to less than 10 points. We can't let the 11-point difference happen again!

Gorji received the basketball this time, and Landou soon gave the other party a big hot pot in the air!

Then the basketball came to Nance Jr.!

Wiggins suddenly broke the basketball in Nance Jr.'s hand and got up and dunked!

Unexpectedly, the power was too great, and the basketball bounced directly out of bounds!

Bryant: "When it comes to defensive training, I want to figure it out. But if it is executed, I think the players will hate me ~hum~"

Wharton turned his head to look at the side of Bryant's face.

It was a smiling face.

The Timberwolves' desire to chase the difference back is shattered!

Immediately, Li Feng and Russell passed basketball to each other. But what they didn't expect was that the Timberwolves players who quickly returned to defend the past did not go to defend them.

No one knows which of the two will suddenly strike. Just don't go out within reason and watch them dribble over.

The basketball finally came to Li Feng, but he didn't shoot, but hit the ground and passed to Nance Jr., who immediately got up in the bottom corner and hit a three-point shot!

Wharton: "Kobe, what do you think of Nance Jr.? ”

Kobe: "Pretty nice young man. Playing basketball should be like him.

Stable, rhythmic guy who will do something for his teammates. The value is not low. ”

Wharton: "I feel like he's scoring right now, third in the team, but in terms of consistency, it's better than Ingram"

Bryant: "You compare him to Ingram?" He's not as good as Ingram and can be his understudy."

Wharton: "I'll increase his playing time. Nance Jr. also has a lot of potential."

Kobe: "He is indeed much stronger than Nick Young~"

Nick Young: "??? ”

The black question mark, who was chatting with his teammates, heard this, and immediately got up and ran to Wharton, and they walked over.

As the successor to the Lakers leader, how can he have such doubts?

Immediately between Wharton and Kobe, Nick Young appeared. The three of them chatted about the game.

Nick Young: "Little Nance? I taught him a lot of movement skills~ I can say that I am his teacher! So you can't just give him Wharton's second place on the bench......"

Wharton didn't speak, and he and Kobe Bryant looked at each other and laughed.

No matter what Nick Young asked, Wharton wouldn't answer him. Directly adjust to silent mode~

......

The difference came to 6 points.

At this time, Rubio of the Timberwolves is still sitting on the court.

If he were to come up in this quarter, it is estimated that the Lakers' margin of more than 10 points would be stable.

But at this time, Thibodeau's idea was in line with Wharton's.

He's going to have to play the young manager in the last two quarters!

Both teams also have a lot of talent.

But apparently the Lakers are much better than the Timberwolves in terms of record!

Downs and Wiggins showed great form after their comeback in this game!

Dunn jumped up and hit a three-point shot when Russell suddenly slipped away!

Kobe Bryant saw Russell like this at this time, and suddenly took a deep breath.

He's not Russell's personal trainer, if he is, he has to "pick" this kid a layer of skin!!

Bryant knew that Russell was a very athletic player in his own right.

However, such a player just can't lift his spirits on the defensive end.

In terms of driving layups, Russell's ability is good. But the player clearly fell far short of Kobe's expectations.

Bryant is demanding of his teammates.

If you look at the whole team now, no one can meet his requirements.

But Li Feng is the player who rushes to the front.

Li Feng: "Little Nansi put it inside!" This can create a certain threat to the opponent! ”

When Nance Jr. heard this, he immediately ran over.

Li Feng came to the front court with the ball alone, faced Jones's brutal defense, and finally broke through him directly and then stopped and jumped to score points!

Facing the defense of the Timberwolves today, Li Feng felt that it was no longer practical to shoot more three-pointers.
