"This team doesn't pose much of a threat to us. They have good players but they can't play well. Garnett is leaving this team sooner or later," Jackson said to Vinson as he watched the game from the sidelines.

"This Kevin is really amazing, the Timberwolves should have a chance to get the top pick if they didn't have him"

"They relied too much on the Wolf King. Remember, no matter which team you rely too much on one player, they won't win the championship," said the Zen master, looking into the other's eyes with great determination.

And the other party nodded. This team has a chance to win against them today, though. But the Lakers look like they have a better chance of winning! The more popular teams discussed in the media are still the Lakers, Spurs, Rockets and Pistons!

These teams are basically the top teams in terms of influence in recent years! Most of the Rockets' influence and attention come from Yao Ming and Maddie!

Yao Ming's arrival is of great significance to the NBA! He's the first Asian to look like he's going to get a foothold in the NBA!!

He is now generally referred to in the media as a "giant from Asia"! The Rockets and Lakers are two Western Conference teams that have basically met in the playoffs, and until now they have not been able to win against the Lakers in the playoffs.

As Bryant fell back to the ground, 5:3! The Lakers seem to be exceptionally relaxed in terms of rhythm and scoring. The new head coach said something similar to the Timberwolves before the game, that is, the best and most effective way to win the Lakers now is to defend Kobe!

McCantz took the basketball and passed the half, Garnett got his ball and dunked to score! 5：5！

Although the media is not optimistic about the Minnesota Timberwolves this season, Garnett still believes that his team can make it to the playoffs and rush to the Eastern Conference finals!

He's the absolute heart of Minnesota! Your teammates aren't so good in the game! But the team is so different because of him!

"Shall we execute Jackson's style of play today?" Odom shouted at Meme and Wharton when he saw that Kobe had passed.

"Didn't we do it before?" Luke's expression was clearly out of the same position as what he said. Odom understood what he meant. Everyone also knows that there are Zen masters off the field and black mambas on the field.

These two are people who can't be provoked, you have to listen to the Zen master off the court, and if you don't pass the ball to Kobe Bryant on the court, then he will humiliate you in front of the opposing players when you perform badly, and this kind of behavior has never been managed by Lakers management.

Jackson couldn't do anything about him. The game is like that, Kobe Bryant has more ball control and more power. In the Lakers, except for O'Neal and Zhou Yang, it is estimated that no one dares to argue with Kobe!

"We'd better pass it to Odom when he asks for the ball," Vujacic said to Odom as he approached him.

Although Odom and Kobe Bryant have a good relationship! But he wanted to figure out whether he needed to change the rhythm back in the first game of Zhou Yang's return from injury. The rest of the players are used to playing.

This does make people feel more dependent, you follow the team when they win, and when the team loses, the responsibility for the end of the season is not up to you. You just need to be a passer when it matters most.

Passing the ball and getting millions a year...... This is also a good life for some blue-collar players in the league or veterans who play healthy basketball~ If you play two more times, others won't care too much, and it's okay if you shoot a few fewer shots.

Kobe Bryant still received the ball and hit a three-point jumper! 8：5！ The Zen master shook his head vigorously when he saw this. The game is played like this, and Kobe Bryant will get 80+, 90+ or even 100+ in a single game, and he won't feel strange.

The offensive power is in Kobe's hands, he wants the ball, his teammates give him the ball, he doesn't want the ball, and the basketball is passed in his direction. And the black mamba looks like he doesn't refuse!

He feels like he's saying you four go down, I'm going to play five! Here in Kobe, he is actually a little ambivalent about such a situation. Complex psychology presents two extreme ideas.

One is that the teammates are not able to take on the team's ability one by one! They sometimes show things that even high school students can beat them! And the other emotion is that I'm the boss of this team!

Whether it's a game or a training, you all listen to me! Some players can only endure in silence in the Lakers, otherwise what? Kobe Bryant is indeed the boss of the team now.

Somehow, Garnett's mood in the game was more similar to Kobe's. Although the two people on the field are opponents, they have a feeling of sympathy. After Mark got the basketball, his jump shot next to Mime was directly blocked by the opponent!

The Wolf King and Odom were picked up by Vujacic in a scramble! The Zen master watched this young man come to the front court, and could have easily made a layup or jumped directly to the ground with three points!

As a result, Kobe Bryant shouted directly at Vujacic just after halftime! The young man shuddered and almost went out of bounds, then turned around and passed the ball straight over. Kobe Bryant caught the ball very calmly and jumped into the net with a three-point hollow!

The game hasn't been played for long, and Kobe Bryant is crazy about scoring points there! Jackson wanted to take a timeout when he saw this, but he had to wait until the other party finished the round.

As the opposing team signaled, the Timberwolves took the lead and asked for a timeout. Kobe Bryant's current state and the obedience of the players on the court make the Lakers look like Black Mamba is playing alone.

"McCantz, you and Zhou Yang came to the NBA in the same term, what is your impression of him?" When he was going back, his head coach suddenly asked him.

"I have a strong ability to break through individually, I have a good sense and can continue to pass the ball to my teammates. I'm thinking about this for a while."

This was the first thing that came to McCantz's mind at this time. The players were quietly waiting for the coach's set-up. Garnett was a little interested in what the young man from North Carolina State University had to say.

This kid is one of the sensational "North Carolina Four Youths"! Zhou Yang in his mouth can still get such an evaluation. What about Zhou Yang? How far can he go?

Garnett, the Wolves, who hasn't played against another Asian player who is new to the NBA, is starting to look forward to him.

"Kobe Bryant, you must find a way to prevent it. The other players on the opposing side basically pass the ball to him right now. You also saw how much chance Vujacic had just now, and he didn't vote! They're passing the ball to Kobe Bryant now, which is the same thing as Jordan's early Bulls......

The Lakers also have ambitions to win them, but the coach knows that as long as the opposing Kobe Bryant opens them, there is little chance for them.

"Odom on their team, I think they're pretty good," Garnett said at this point. Odom may seem like a mediocre person, but his awareness on the field and sometimes his selflessness are really good!

"With you, Garnett basically can't play much in him Odom. There is also the fact that Zhou Yang is back. You've seen it in the news, right? Zhou Yang is considered the third leader of the Lakers. This kid feels good, and his consciousness is good, but he can prevent one and see how far he can hit. Just pay attention to what he says."

After saying half of it, I felt that I was a little exaggerated to Zhou Yang, this kid. So I immediately changed my mouth. Casey didn't finish the pause and it was over. He does have a lot to say to the players. Because the current Lakers give people a "foggy" feeling.

Sometimes Kobe Bryant is very calm, such as the Raptors who scored 81 points in that game! There are also times when the team looks very unhappy inside. If the latter they have a much better chance of winning!

"Kobe, go down and rest"

"I haven't started yet."

"You're at odds with my tactics today, you're going to have to take fewer shots and give your teammates more chances," Jackson said in a soothing tone.

Kobe Bryant looked at Zhou Yang next to him and began to wipe his sweat with a towel and returned to the bench to sit.

"Zhou Yang, Fisher, you go on the court and take the place of Mime and Kobe. There's nothing wrong with tactics, right...... Well, I don't have anything to adjust, press, according to, I just need to play the game according to the tactics I arranged."

Jackson spoke a little slower, emphasizing the word "according to." After Zhou Yang came back, his attitude also changed a little. In the past, if he was like this, neither O'Neal nor Zhou Yang could come back, and now the players in the team dare not argue with Kobe, and they don't have much strength. In that case, they will basically taste failure.

But now it's different, after Zhou Yang came back, there were few people in his team who dared to oppose Kobe! His return could also be a better distraction from Kobe's hands.

When he returned, the Timberwolves breathed a sigh of relief. Because the opponent's Kobe Bryant is gone.

Through the adjustment of the team, it can be seen that the Lakers now attach importance to Zhou Yang! After Zhou Yang came on the field, there was a burst of cheers on the scene! The voice is not loud, but it is obvious that Zhou Yang now has a certain reputation in Los Angeles!

McCantz deliberately bypassed Zhou Yang and passed the ball to Garnett, who scored with a two-handed dunk under the bag of Zhou Yang and Odom!

Not everyone can defend against Garnett now! He also has a strong desire to fight!

Vujacic was much more comfortable after seeing Zhou Yang playing! He got the basketball and slowly passed the half, and Fisher took his pass and missed a three-point jumper! Odom started looking for someone after getting the rebound, Zhou Yang took the basketball and suddenly got up and passed the ball to Vujasic!

The latter hit a direct jumper three-point shot! 14：7！ Jackson was eager to see how far the Lakers, with Zhou Yang and no Kobe, could play in the first half. He was more relieved if Odom was there.

After this round, Zhou Yang felt that he had found some sense of the game. But he didn't dare to make a rash move, because the injury in the past few months has made him no longer so agile.

He's going to need to recover slowly, just like he did in pre-season this season. Although he is very committed, he knows that this kind of arena is completely different from the feeling he had in college, and the intensity of the confrontation is also different.

Now all he needs is to find that feeling and fit into the team to continue the regular season.

Trenton quickly rushed across the halfcourt and received the ball from McCantz and jumped straight up to hit a three-point shot! "North Carolina Four Less" They are not so famous after they arrived in the NBA. After all, it is home to the elite of various universities.

They find themselves trying hard and not getting more minutes, and it's up to the manager to decide how much time they have. And apparently they are no longer the star players of Coach Bude of North Carolina State University!

In the process, I have also seen the top players get good data, such as LeBron, Howard, and Anthony. There are also players who have not been ranked well and have received good data, such as Paul, Zhou Yang and other players.

But there are clearly no of them here. It takes a few years for them to feel if they want to be famous right away.

Zhou Yang got the basketball again, and the Lakers fans on the scene will find that the Lakers' center of gravity has changed! Fisher and Odom didn't attack, and it was Zhou Yang who got the ball more!

Facing Wally's assistant defense, Zhou Yang quickly passed the ball to Odom, who didn't dare to slack off! The wolf king around him is not a vegetarian! After taking the basketball, jump up and dunk directly! 16：10！

What makes the Timberwolves unhappy is that the Lakers seem to have an easier time scoring. They can score a lot of points! And Minnesota can barely do it!

In fact, in this year, all teams in the NBA did not average high points per game. It's usually around 60-95 points, and that's how much they score in a game! Such a score can be imagined how much energy saving gets.

So it's good to score 20 points in a quarter. But one of the changes in the scoring of the current Lakers is that they sometimes want to score 35 points in one quarter! This kind of team makes other teams inevitably increase the psychological pressure in the game.

How can you score like this! The Lakers actually have a lot of players who can shoot three-pointers when Kobe Bryant is not on the court! On the back, on the front line. Odom may not be very accurate, but he can also shoot threes!

Wharton dribbled the ball across the half, and he looked for Kobe for a long time before he remembered that Kobe was sitting on the bench now. After Zhou Yang got the basketball again, he passed to the little fish who had just cornered. Fisher is very standard catch-and-shoot, jump shot, basketball shot! Three points hollow into the net! 19：10！

Casey was somewhat uncomfortable watching this scene. The number of iron strikes on his side is obviously much higher than that of the Lakers. And if they play like that, he won't be able to get the benches on the court in the third quarter.

Garnett took the initiative to ask for the ball after seeing this scene, and successfully played 2+1 after letting Zhou Yang get a foul under the basket! Vujacic was cut off by McCantz in the middle of his run!

Wally hits a three-point shot after receiving a long pass from McCantz in the frontcourt! There have been times when the fighting spirit of the rest of the Timberwolves players has been infected by Garnett......

As soon as the Lakers bench got excited, they saw that the 9-point difference was suddenly chased to 3 points. The Zen master was also a little surprised when he saw this scene, it is impossible to say that the timberwolves do not have much combat power now.
