The Timberwolves got off to a good start at home to the Western Conference Finals, but they also left a trail for their own journey to the finals. In the fourth quarter, Kassel's injury was regrettable and could have been a key factor in the Western Conference final.

But in the second game, the Lakers didn't seem to be able to find the rhythm to win.

Payton had only 6 points and 6 assists, Malone had 7 points and 5 rebounds, and Kobe Bryant didn't have a magical performance, returning to Milan as a little blacksmith, scoring 25 points on 9-of-27 shooting. The Lakers as a whole are so poor that if it weren't for the Timberwolves' relaxation, they might have lost even more.

Garnett remained the backbone of the Timberwolves, finishing with 30 points, 19 rebounds and hitting the winning shot. In the audience fans "MVP! In the midst of cheers, kg said, "I won't get tired." ”

But the Timberwolves can't win alone. Cassel suffered a serious foot injury, and he didn't even change his shirt in this game, so he became a spectator. He will have surgery soon, and the season has already been reimbursed. But Sprewell, another of the three-headed monsters, struggled to score 28 points, and it was his back-to-back jumpers that made the Lakers unable to find the North from the beginning.

2:0, the experts were dumbfounded, no one could have imagined that the Lakers would fall into such a situation before the game. Even if the Timberwolves are first in the regular season, experts are unanimously optimistic about the Lakers. This is F4, a union of four supergiants, two of whom are at the end of their careers, but they can't be ignored.

Back at the Staples Center, the Lakers didn't let the win slip away easily and were in the lead throughout the game.

The TV station made a short review of the game with the title of "Big Sharks Return to the Shoreline, Lakers Bounce Back to Win Game 3", O'Neal once again dominated the game in his own way, "Big Sharks" scored 38 points and 17 rebounds tonight, and 4 successful blocks, although Malone didn't score a point in the first half, but the Lakers have been leading, because Garnett has been trapped by Malone's tight defense, and he has also fallen into foul trouble. Payton returned to form and had 10 points and 10 assists tonight to help the team withstand the Timberwolves' comeback.

O'Neal's dominance on the inside caused opponents to accumulate 16 fouls on him, and by the end of the game, the Timberwolves had no choice but to resort to "slashing sharks" because there was no better way to stop the super center's scoring momentum, but O'Neal actually made six of his last nine free throws.

Kobe Bryant took over the game at the end of the game, scoring a total of 22 points in the third and fourth quarters, and the official ESPN website made a short comment on the game with the title of "The wolf king is far away from the forest, it is difficult to win". Garnett had 22 points and 11 rebounds but five fouls while carrying five fouls and Szczebiak had 21 points.

The Lakers pulled back a game 100:89 with a big score of 1:2.

Two days later, the two teams will meet again at Staples Arena, and whether the Lakers can hold on to their second home court will be interesting to watch. 2:2 and 1:3 are completely two series trends, and the history of the Magic team has been affected by Hu Qingniu, so far, only the 97-year-old Heat team can turn three games in a row when they are 1:3 behind.

In key games, a team with four superstars can always prove their worth at crucial moments, but the difference is that this time it is "Little Fish" Fisher who will determine the victory. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers played an 11-0 small **, Fisher scored 8 points, and 58.1 seconds before the end of the game, Fisher put in a three-pointer to basically solve the Timberwolves.

The Lakers led 46-44 in the first half, with O'Neal finishing with 15 points, eight rebounds and three blocks, and he hit five of seven free throws. For O'Neal, it was an explosive play. You know, in the first two rounds of the playoffs, O'Neal missed 66 of 106 free throws.

The other three superstars of the Lakers also performed well, with Kobe Bryant scoring nine points in the first half, Malone eight and Payton also having seven. The biggest surprise on the Timberwolves' side is Olawokandi, who previously averaged only 2.0 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, but Olavokandi scored 8 points and 7 rebounds in the first half today. Other than him, the rest of the Timberwolves' players have been somewhat unremarkable.

The Timberwolves trailed by 11 points after the first three quarters, and with four minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves narrowed the score to two points at one point, but they never came close since. Sprewell didn't play at all in the fourth quarter, and head coach Philip Sanders pressed him to the bench.

The shooting rate of the Lakers' four kings in this game is as high as 80%, and there is no doubt that the Lakers will win. At 97:88, the Lakers equalized the series at home. Fisher was arguably the hero of the Lakers' second-round win in the playoffs, and in the last 0.4 seconds of Game 5, his buzzer-beating shot helped the Lakers beat the Spurs. This time he stepped up again, and some people started comparing him to Robert Horry, thinking they were both super role players.

In Game 5, the Timberwolves, who returned to Minnesota, clearly lacked the courage they had at the beginning of the series. I don't know if it's because of the injury of the main point guard Cassel, or if it's because of the loss of two games in Los Angeles.

Szczebiak scored just 11 points; Spreville? Anyway, this guy had a conflict with the referee on the court and was kicked off the court early in the second quarter. The Madman is a player who has the potential to help the team as well as hurt them.

Bryant scored 31 points, 18 of which came in the third quarter. The role of the other three superstars cannot be ignored, O'Neal 19 points and 19 rebounds, and it is the fifth consecutive game with more than 16 rebounds, as long as they play at this level, the Lakers' basket is as stable as Mount Tai; 40-year-old Malone has 12 points, 11 rebounds and 8 assists, close to a "triple-double"; Although Payton had only six points and six assists, his backup, Fisher, had 15 points.

However, the loss could not hide Garnett's superstar status, and the aging Malone used the last of his energy to entangle him under the basket, which greatly consumed kg of energy. However, the "Wolf King" still scored 28 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists in a quasi-triple-double. But when the Timberwolves can't win games, that statistic doesn't make any sense.

From leading 2:0 to being pulled three games in a row, now 2: Under great pressure and the hope of the whole village, he led the team to Los Angeles, the city of angels.

It wasn't a comfortable match for both audiences. The referee who originally blew the Western Conference Finals was absent due to injury, and I don't know if he ran too slowly when walking the dog, but was injured by the dog.

In short, in the end, the league ruled that bald coach Crawford was airborne in Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals and served as the referee. His pattern of penalties was nightmarish, with the two teams, accustomed to more rough penalties, a little unrestrained when they met Crawford.

In this game where the referees strictly enforced, Bryant, O'Neal and Garnett were in trouble with fouls in the first half. They fought their last drop of blood, but they still scored six minutes before the end of the game, and the team lost the chance to win.

After all, the Lakers have four superstars, while the wolves have only one king.

The Timberwolves are gone!

Lakers 96:90 Timberwolves, big score 4:2 back to the Finals!

After the game, Bryant made a declaration in an interview.

"Finals, I am back!"
