After the timeout, the Timberwolves attacked, Trill broke through to attract Grant to change the defense and give the ball to the middle, Garnett squeezed Guo Xu to cut the ball to attract O'Neal to make up the ball and gave it to Nesterovic, who received the ball in the vacancy and did not shoot directly, took an extra step to impact the basket, and was pulled by O'Neal back.

Nesterovic made both free throws to make it 11-7. He scored, but his performance was still disappointing, the goal was not good, and if he was a little slower, he might be blocked again.

Bryant singled Billups with the ball, and the horn position was caught by Garnett.

Kobby gave the ball to Grant in the middle, and Garnett chased it very quickly and stepped forward to interfere. His height and reach can be a distraction even if he doesn't jump, and Grant meets Garnett's mid-range shot, and the rebound is grabbed by Szzebiak.

Billups received the pass and immediately went down, and the three-point line changed direction and broke through, causing Kobila to foul.

Billups hit both free throws to score his seventh point to make it 11-9.

Woodson commented: "The offensive efficiency of both sides was very high today, and I don't think anyone would have thought that it would be Jason Kwok and Chauncey Billups who scored a lot, and the two of them were on fire. ”

Horwass laughed: "Chauncey always wanted to prove that he wasn't a parallel trade, and he finally did it at the start of the season. ”

Billups joined the Celtics in 1997 as a scout and began a wandering career after playing only 51 games in Boston. The Green traded Billups because he was a recognized problem player at a young age!

In his rookie season, he was invited to the police station for tea. In the most serious case, he and his friends were accused of playing 3P with a female to the police station, and the unbearable "Cardinal" traded him to the Raptors.

The ill-fated Billups failed to join forces with Carter and was soon traded by the Raptors to the Denver Nuggets, after which he suffered a serious injury for two consecutive seasons and shot less than 40 percent from the field in the first few seasons of his career.

He was then traded to the Magic, where he was abandoned again before he could play a game for the Magic, and he ended up defecting to the Timberwolves, who were in the bitter cold. His position in the Timberwolves is also very awkward, obviously a point guard with a height of 191CM and a weight of 92 kilograms, but because of Trill on the team, he was forced to take the position of point guard.

The Lakers played on the periphery of the battle, Fox made a mistake, his intention to pass the ball to Kobe Bryant was too obvious, and he was successfully stolen by Billups and quickly distributed to Trier, who was fast on the other side.

Guo Xu showed his speed advantage to catch up with Trier, and successfully got close to him the moment he pulled the ball up three steps.

Come on, don't try to score easily.

He spotted his steps and prepared to give the other party a big hat. Before he could jump, Trier stumbled and fell to the ground, throwing the ball to the basket at random, and the referee's whistle followed.

"Touching porcelain" Guo Xu will also, but the referee often ignores newcomers, and a famous veteran like Trier is more likely to cause fouls. Guo Xu raised his hand to signal foul, he didn't talk nonsense with the referee to show his innocence, he had no less than three fouls per game in the new season, and he was used to it.

Trier equalised with both free throws. 11 to 11.

The Lakers attacked, O'Neal held the ball with his back and attacked the basket to attract the bag, forcibly turned around to the middle and distributed the ball to the left side, Grant shot iron in the empty position on the bottom line, he stepped forward and grabbed the rebound in the front court, and he shot quickly and hit the iron, and Szzebiak grabbed the defensive rebound.

The Timberwolves continued their old tactics, with point guards holding the ball and interior pick-and-rolls. Sanders shares Jazz coach Sloan's penchant for pick-and-roll offense, with the difference that he also emphasizes wing players running off the ball and catching and shooting. Trier has had a second spring since joining the Timberwolves from the Nuggets, and has been in possession of a lot of ball possession and guaranteed playing time.

Trill and Nesterovic broke through after the block, and seeing O'Neal far away, a one-step pull-up jump shot missed. This move is simple and difficult to block, whether you can get a chance to shoot depends entirely on the opponent's defensive attitude inside, and when you encounter a big man who doesn't like to change defenses, you can shoot casually.

O'Neal grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Guo Xu, Guo Xu advanced to the front court and passed to Kobe, Kobe received the ball and forced a layup, and scored a cricket under the defense of Billups.

13 to 11. Guo Xu delivered the first assist.

The Lakers only took 5 seconds to attack this time, and they can occasionally play fast breaks, Kobe Bryant is misplaced against Billups, and others are not easy to help defend in fast breaks.

The Timberwolves attacked, Trill forced O'Neal after blocking and dismantling in the middle, missed a layup under interference, and Nesterovic grabbed the rebound in the front court and distributed the ball to Billups on the perimeter. The latter and Garnett played another block and pick-and-roll, which attracted Grant to switch defenses and give them to Garnett.

Garnett made a dry pull-out jumper after facing Kobe Bryant on the right side, and the shot was very high, Kobe couldn't cover it, and the ball went in! 13 to 13.

Garnett slammed his chest and roared in anger when he returned to the defense, it was just a jumper, but he seemed to dunk O'Neal.

In his previous life, Guo Xu watched a lot of Timberwolves games on TV, and he didn't feel deeply. Now seeing Garnett's jump shot up close, he somewhat understands why there are so many fans who are "hard" in the future, he is too deliberate.

The Lakers attacked, O'Neal attacked in the low post to attract the ball to Kobe Bryant on the periphery, Kobe Bryant received the ball and made a jumper, and Billups saved and could only interfere slightly. 15 to 13.

Woodson said: "The power of the Lakers' triangle offense is starting to show, and when O'Neal, Kobe, and Jason form a triangle on one side, the Timberwolves can only let the weak side go to O'Neal, otherwise there will be good shooting opportunities. ”

Horvas agrees: "With the addition of Jason Guo and Grant, I think the Lakers are stronger overall than last season, and the Timberwolves can only fight offense if they want to win." ”

Billups played an off-ball screen with Szczebiak on the perimeter, and after receiving the ball, he shook the switch Fox up, and then he bumped into the basket to make a foul and got three free throws.

Billups hit all three free throws to make it 15-16 when Jackson made a lineup and Ryder came on for Fox.

Fox wasn't in good shape today, didn't make a shot with a switchback, and had one turnover.

The Lakers attacked, the player pulled away, Kobe Bryant dropped the ball to O'Neal, this time O'Neal was deep into the basket, and without waiting for Garnett to make up for the defense, he turned around and hit Nesterovic with a one-handed dunk. 17 to 16.

When returning to the defense, O'Neill celebrated with an arrogant "overlord step", and the audience applauded and cheered. He's the toughest player in the NBA, the only one of the big four centers who doesn't shoot well, and he can dominate the court with just a low-post attack.

O'Neill's muscular body, unique expression, and exaggerated stride allow him to ignite the passion of the entire arena after each performance, and he himself prefers to call this move a "graceful dance step".

The Timberwolves continued to play pick-and-roll, not creating misplaced opportunities, and Garnett responded with the ball high and waited for his teammates to run and share the ball.

Billups was entangled by Kobe Bryant and couldn't get out, and Ryder followed Szczebiak. Garnett distributed the ball to Trier on the left, who received the ball and threw it wide, which was deflected by Guo Xu's pursuit and interference.

Grant took the rebound and passed it to Kobe Bryant in a straight line, Kobe Bryant passed through the half court to Guo Xu on the right side, Guo Xu changed direction with the ball and walked to the middle, relying on Trier to force a left-handed basketball.

19-16, Guo Xu's personal 9th point, the first quarter exploded.

Guo Xu and Kobe's beautiful fast-break connection made Timberwolves coach Sanders call a timeout again, the Lakers must score almost every ball, and it is not okay to play like this.
