Let's get back to the game.

In Bryant's absence, Lakers scorer Nick Young finally had a chance to unleash his offensive desires. Li Qiang defended on the right, and Nick Young broke through the board from the left to score two points. There is also a saying in the alliance: "Never break through from the side that Li Qiang is standing on." "It seems to have become an unspoken rule against the Timberwolves.

83：82

After halftime, the "assistant defender" Noll handed the ball to Li Qiang. The Timberwolves' point guard level is relatively scummy, and it has always been a problem that has plagued Li Qiang. Fortunately, Noel also knows this, and usually shows his good side in front of the boss bit by bit, so Li Qiang still left a vacancy in the position of the main force.

Atai didn't dare to let Li Qiang shoot three points outside this time, and the difference was two steps away from each other tightly.

Li Qiang seemed to have a harmless smile on his face...

Li Qiang held the ball and made a move to break through, and suddenly put the ball on the spot, as if he was about to jump three points again.

This action is so realistic that even Atai, who is experienced in defense, can't help but raise his center of gravity. Li Qiang moved at this juncture, and a lightning step had already passed Atai.

In fact, with Li Qiang's strength and speed, he can take a lightning step first and then use his strength to eat Atai without making feints, but Li Qiang has recently become more and more fond of all kinds of flowing feints, because this is very beautiful.

Beauty. This is the biggest gap between the little emperor LeBron James and Kobe, Jordan and others. In terms of strength, the little emperor is no worse than Kobe, on the contrary, his passing vision is more prominent and he has a more overall view. But "ugliness" is also an inevitable part of him.

In the past, Li Qiang, including the first two years of entering the NBA, many people used LeBron as his template. Their positioning is indeed very similar, they are all swing people who can play from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position, they are all extremely powerful, and they are all guys who like to rely on their physical fitness to eat others, so many times they look a little ugly when they play, or they sound a little better, and they are domineering and exposed.

In fact, subconsciously, Li Qiang also used the little emperor as his template. The heads-up with the little emperor in the Nike academy was also widely reported by many media. Li Qiang was also complacent with his domineering appearance.

However, it wasn't until he came to the Timberwolves that Li Qiang realized that the audience likes beauty. If you want to be a basketball king recognized by everyone, you can't play autumn and look like a beast. The smooth attack is what the audience really likes. And Jordan's movements, whether it is a bounce in the air or an elegant backward jumper, have met the expectations of the audience 100%.

Thus, he finally became the god of basketball. It's not that some of his predecessors are not weaker than him. Watch the video of Jordan playing and you will know why he is the only one who has become the god of basketball, because you will love basketball just by watching his video.

It's as simple as that.

Kobe Bryant has been hailed as "the closest man ever to Jordan" because his play is also beautiful and it is a pleasure to watch him play. But limited to the gap in physical fitness, it is less elegant than Jordan.

At that time, Li Qiang's league playoffs in his second year in the NBA had just begun, and when the Timberwolves, who missed the playoffs, cheered that they were finally on vacation, Li Qiang had already begun to continue training in the basketball arena. Missing the playoffs was a blow to him, although it was a helpless transfer that led to no playoffs to play, but Li Qiang's attitude became no longer impetuous. He began to seriously find Jordan's video, analyze it, and see his own problems. After a few days of observation, Li Qiang finally discovered the importance of "beauty".

Since the third year of the NBA, the audience in Minneapolis was pleasantly surprised to find that the new wolf king Li Qiang finally played his own unique style, playing more and more elegantly and smoothly. The more this is the case, the more they like the new wolf king. After winning the championship last year, Li Qiang finally replaced Garnett as the new wolf king recognized by everyone in the city.

It is said that after Li Qiang passed Atay like lightning, Bynum, the Lakers' inside gate, had stretched out his hands and stood still outside the reasonable collision area.

Of course, Li Qiang would not be stupid enough to jump up immediately and eat a foul. Unceremoniously, Li Qiang stopped the pitch in a hurry, his hand rose and fell, and two copies arrived.

85：82

This is the benefit of Li Qiang's arsenal of killers.

However, with the physical fitness of ordinary people, it is absolutely impossible to make a sudden stop after a lightning breakthrough like Li Qiang. Wade fell from the peak of his career early because of too many emergency stops and excessive knee wear. However, Li Qiang didn't have to worry at all, this level of emergency stop would not cause any damage to his knee joints after refining the muscles.

"Squeak—"

Kobe Bryant couldn't help it and finally got on the court.

After the break, Kobe Bryant looked fierce, because this time it was Kobe Bryant, the third-year rookie champion Brack defended, Li Qiang Kobe and Bryant staged a rare battle of points.

The Li Ke combination of the Megatron League at that time is now in the first round of the playoffs, and the two teams are scoring each other's points.

95：94

There are 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Bryant was in excellent form for the last few minutes, knocking Brak into a hole defending him. It was rare to bite the score of the Timberwolves who were there with Li Qiang. But Kobe's good fortune ended there.

"Brak, you go and defend against Atay. Kobe Bryant handed it over to me. After speaking, Li Qiang walked towards Kobe Bryant with a harmless smile.

"Hey! Kobe, good job just now! Li Qiang praised.

"I'm going to blow you up!" Kobe Bryant said viciously. On the field, he'll always be like that.

"Then I'll wait and see." Li Qiang didn't have the slightest intention of refuting it, and there was no need for it. The difference in strength between the two people is there, and Li Qiang is not worried.

Suddenly, Bryant jumped without warning. A full two steps away from the three-point line.

"Huh"

Li Qiang was careless for a while, and actually put Kobe Bryant into an ultra-long-distance three-pointer.

95：97

"Never underestimate the heart of a strong man!" Li Qiang secretly warned himself that he had to get serious.

After Li Qiang received the ball outside the three-point line and forced a breakthrough, he handed it to Polles, who was vacated. The latter lived up to expectations and easily took two points.

97 flat.

In the next round, Kobe Bryant got the ball and pretended to break through Li Qiang, but passed the ball to Nash, who quickly passed the ball out to Bynum on the inside again. The Lakers scored two more points.

Li Qiang came to the three-point line with the ball, and in the face of Atai's forced defense, he suddenly turned over and jumped back, and the score was overtaken, 100:99.

Fisher held the ball to the three-point line to give Kobe Bryant, Kobe didn't even want to pass directly to Nash in the bottom corner, Nash got up and down, 100:102 The Lakers led again.

In the next few minutes, the Lakers actually maintained an extremely high shooting rate, and with three minutes left, they still led the Timberwolves by three points with a 110-113 advantage.

"You can't lose the first game of the playoffs!" Li Qiang thought secretly in his heart. It was really careless to let Kobe score points during that time just now, and now Kobe's hand is hot. People like Kobe Bryant are difficult to defend once they feel hot, and even under Li Qiang's ultra-high-intensity defense, they relied on the Lakers' blocking and dismantling to score three goals. This is the most normal but even very good result for anyone in the league who defends Kobe, but it is already a shame for Li Qiang.

Let's get started! In the first round of the playoffs, I couldn't tolerate my team losing.
