What Zhou Yang didn't know at this time was that the Timberwolves had already begun to guard against him!

Garnett thinks if they meet the Lakers sooner or later, they will meet in the playoffs! Then from now on they have to find a way to defeat them! It's hard though! But if they can beat the Lakers......

Even the current star of the Timberwolves, the Wolves, thinks it's not much of a possibility...... His teammates were even more unconvinced.

Whitman quietly watched the Timberwolves players who were already standing on the court with his hands in his pockets. Can they make it to the playoffs? Now the gap between the Timberwolves and the Lakers is that the other side is firmly in the Western Conference playoffs, and they have been struggling.

It's 9th in the West, but it's not the top 8 team after all. Even if they reach 8th place in the West, they still regret being eliminated the most. This situation puts them under a lot of pressure!

Tonight in the target center arena, the emotions of the fans have been completely driven by Cool Wolf at this time! The players on the Lakers side still think that the other party has a good momentum, and when it comes to the game, it is not immediately for the Lakers to take the lead~

The main players of the Timberwolves are Blount, Garnett, Craig, Hassel, and Jarich. On the Lakers' side, O'Neal, Odom, Wharton, Kobe and Smush!

As a veteran player of the team, Wharton has fully gained the trust of the team and coaches. Although the Zen master would say from time to time that Wharton should become an instructor in the future.

But the young Wharton felt that at his current age, he might be able to make some famous names in the future. Retiring early to become a coach made him not want to do it for a while.

Looking at dazzling players like Kobe and Odom in his team, there is also Zhou Yang in the team, a guy who can "steal" a lot of his playing time from time to time. Walton's father was an NBA professional.

His first thought was to follow the trajectory of athletes. He has been influenced by his father since he was a child, and he also loves basketball. On the coaching staff, he had a good relationship with the assistant coaches.

At Lakers management, they also have a good opinion of the young Walton. In the team, Kobe Bryant is also curious about the young man's mind, and he also feels that the team has more security for him.

Wharton is different from Zhou Yang, the former can see how the team's tactics should play after many steps! And Zhou Yang belongs to the on-site commander! All he has to do in the fight is try to play every round as well as he can!

Zhou Yang's ability to organize the team is good. However, he pays more attention to the offensive efficiency on the field and the tactical balance of the opposing team! If Wharton has a lot of coaching talent, then Zhou Yang may be a natural athlete!

Analyze tactics and rely on Wharton, and the Lakers will immediately think of Zhou Yang in the game. These two people are very famous among the young people in the team!

Originally, the Lakers could basically beat the Timberwolves relatively smoothly in this game. But Coach Jackson watched for a few minutes and felt that the opposing team seemed to be a little more enthusiastic today.

He doesn't know if it has something to do with the team's mascot, Cool Wolf. But such cheers and the momentum of the Timberwolves players on the scene are definitely not a good thing for the Lakers.

Garnett shifted his attention from Zhou Yang to the court! O'Neal grabbed the basketball and immediately passed the ball to the nearest Odom!

The latter is directly opposite Kevin! After 10 seconds of not being able to get rid of the opponent, Odom finally chose to pass! After Kobe Bryant took the basketball, he directly let Yaric get a foul and threw the ball out!

Kobe Bryant, who stood next to the free throw line, looked relaxed. 3 points are in hand~

Garnett comforted Jaric and served to him. It didn't take long for Hassel to get the ball and pass it directly to Craig. When the Wolf King came back, Craig directly used his body as a cover and hit a three-point shot!

The fans at the scene cheered wildly at this time! Their players aren't bad either! The players in the team, Ricky, Craig, Garnett, etc., are very capable of playing! Probably they'll meet the Mavericks in the playoffs. But they also felt there was hope of winning against the Dallas Mavericks!

Smush quickly held the ball to the frontcourt, and after passing Yaric and Hassel, he rushed back too fast and was directly covered by Garnett when he made a layup! After the basketball was caught by Odom, Blunt cut off the big man's ball and immediately passed it to Jarich.

The latter quickly rushed to the front court, and saw that his teammates had not followed up at this time, and jumped directly to hit a three-point shot!

"Huh? Who shot the three-pointer? As soon as the Zen master sat down, he noticed that the score had become 6:3.

"The other party's Yarich"

"The other party is chasing quite tightly," Jackson got up from the bench before his ass was hot. He hesitated, but finally walked over to the sidelines. The opponent's ranking is six places behind the Lakers. But compared to the last game of the Wizards, the winning rate is higher than that of Washington.

Zhou Yang watched the game quietly. The Timberwolves players on the court don't seem to be playing as well as they thought they would be at this time.

Bryant immediately motioned for a pass to him. Wharton didn't hesitate. Odom then took Kobe's pass and missed! O'Neal made a dunk under the bag of Garnett and Blunt!

The Lakers' number one threat now is this O'Neal! Garnett can be fearless of Odom and Mime! But there is nothing I can do about this big guy.

The physical confrontation is not as strong as O'Neal, and the other party is very flexible!

Hassel holds the ball through the half! Under the defense of Smush, I saw the opponent collide with Craig! In the space of these few seconds, Hassel scored three points directly! Because he had just collided with the opponent, Smush didn't follow up in time to defend!

The Zen master just watched all this quietly. Right now, this team is doing a good job of defending inside. In other words, with O'Neill and without O'Neill, they are basically two different things!

So the big shark can't be easily replaced. Jackson wanted to change Zhou Yang. But will letting Zhou Yang play at this time will make some players in the team dependent?

It's like a few years ago. The player felt that he couldn't beat the opponent and passed the ball to Kobe...... Black Mamba immediately passed the ball to him when he asked for it, passed it to him near the end of the first half, passed it when the score was over, and passed it to Kobe Bryant when the game was almost over......

When Kobe Bryant had an accident or was injured or had a cold and was out of the game, the players on the scene except for O'Neal were a little unsure of how to play. They subconsciously began to look for Kobe Bryant on the court.

Wharton took Odom's serve and slowly moved up to the frontcourt. Suddenly, the opposing Craig and Hassell rushed over!
