Towns' stupid technical foul not only caused the Timberwolves to lose the ball, but also gave the Lakers two more free throws. Garnett was afraid that Downs's mentality would explode completely, so he hurriedly came up and pulled him away.

Garnett pulled Downs directly back to the bench and said sharply: "Just now, Hoggist has demonstrated in front of you the end of provoking the referee, why do you still want to confront the referee?" ”

"Because Hougist is not wrong, this referee TM is blind!" Downs was still angry, and scolded viciously.

"What if he's blind, the power of life and death of the players on the field is in their hands, didn't Hoggist also honestly obey the punishment later? If you want to play well, you must first remember to respect the authority of the referee, they say that if you foul, you have to admit it, the coach can argue with the referee, an old player like me can argue with the referee, but a newcomer like you is not qualified, you know? Garnett couldn't have imagined that he would have to spend as much energy as Kobe Bryant on the referee in the same game.

"Does the referee brag like this and no one cares?" Downs asked the same question as Hoogist.

"At least it's not your turn to point fingers, the two points we were expected to get are gone, and you also sent two free throws and the ball, which is 6 points inside and out!" Garnett said bitterly.

"Anyway, Hoggist plays the No. 5 position, and I'll earn you back these 6 points!" Downs said stiffly.

Garnett nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, the referee's grievances to us must be returned to the opponent with basketball to relieve our anger!" ”

Hoggist stepped up to the free-throw line, scored two points comfortably, and then stepped to the sideline to tee off. The ball was in the hands of Reeds, and Hogist ran to the bottom corner to wait for an opportunity. As a result, all five Lakers players stood outside the three-point line and directly gave up the inside.

This kind of position makes the Timberwolves very uncomfortable, come out and mark people, the inside line is empty, and once you break through, it is to score and take things; Leave someone to guard the inside line, there will always be an opponent outside who is in a vacant state, and the same is to give the opponent a chance to score in vain.

The Timberwolves had no choice but to use a joint defense strategy, and the 3-2 joint defense barely took into account the defense inside and outside. Reed held the ball at the top of the arc, and the players in the bottom corner and wing on both sides crossed and switched positions to try to disrupt the Timberwolves' defensive strategy, this tactic was beautiful, but unfortunately Reed was a little impatient, and he acted without waiting for his teammates to run out of the opportunity to try to create a shooting foul outside the three-point line, LaVine jumped on the spot and was not fooled, although Reed leaned forward to shoot LaVine, but the referee ignored it, and Reed had to force the ball back in the air to Haugist, who ran from the bottom corner to the other wing.

Due to the joint defense strategy, the defender in front of Haugist was replaced by Shabazz, Haugist ignored the short Shabazz and was about to shoot, Shabazz hurriedly jumped up to interfere, but he didn't want Haugist to just dangle a shot, while Shabazz was floating in the air, Haugist rushed into the interior with a short body, Garnett and Downs in the low defensive areas on both sides hurriedly contracted to make up for the defense, and Haugist calmly distributed the ball to Nick, who was empty in the bottom corner of the same side. Poplar. The confident SaggyP made a decisive shot and hit a three-pointer.

The ball was converted, and the Timberwolves continued to let Towns play Howgist, although Howgist had just successfully teased Towns to eat a technical foul, but this kind of thing was unavoidable, and Howgist did not have an advantage in height and strength, and he also didn't have many fouls to pay for, so Towns finally hit a shot through Howgist's hook hand.

The Lakers are still in control of the reeds on the offensive end, and Horgist continues to play breakthrough shots after running away from the ball and making misplaced opportunities, in fact, he is now playing everyone out of position, facing LaVine and Shabazz, who are much shorter than him, can often shake them off with a lift of his hand from the outside, and can use his speed to shake them off against Garnett and Towns. However, now Haugistt is receiving the ball in the two wing defense areas, so he will not easily face the Timberwolves' interior.

Just before the end of the third quarter, Haugist received another pass from the flank, and a large shammgod almost shook Shabazz's ankle and slowly rushed inside from the fallen Shabazz, who seemed to be waiting for Towns and Garnett to come up and make up the defense. Downs and Garnett hesitated for a thousandth of a second, but they still gritted their teeth and rushed up, Downs was between the low post and the bottom corner on the same side of Hougist, the closest to Hougist, and the fastest, Hougist decisively distributed the ball to Bus, who was let go by Downs in the bottom corner on the same side.

Downs hurriedly forced the brakes to turn around to chase the ball, but found that Bath's hand was empty, it turned out that this pass was a feint, Downs's emergency stop change of direction just now made him inertia led him involuntarily, and it was impossible to turn back to find Hogist, fortunately, Garnett made up the defense in time, and had blocked Hoggist's offensive line, but at this time, he found that Hoggist's hand was also empty.

Where did the ball go? It turned out that Hougist felt that Buss was shooting as well as Nick from three-point range. Young, who had already made up his mind in his mind, deceived Downs with a fake pass, and then pulled the ball back and passed it backwards to Nick in the bottom corner of the weak side. Young, Nick Young happily received the ball and jumped again, but the ball was blocked out of the baseline by Wiggins, who made up the defense in time. At this time, the buzzer was noisy, and the third quarter of the game was over. Although the Lakers bench lineup led by Hoggist is still sharp offensively, it was indeed found by the Timberwolves in defense, so the point difference did not widen further, and the Lakers still only led the Timberwolves by 20 points at 100:80.

"Haha, Saggy, this hat has suffered enough!" Hoggist laughed.

"Damn it, I was so careless that I didn't see Wiggins come over, but it's up to you, you're too slow to pass the ball! You shouldn't be nitpicking! Just pass it on to me! "Nick. Yang feigned dissatisfaction and said.

"There are two things that would be different from what you had just done: first, the person who blocked you would become Garnett; Second, your ball will fly out of the touchline behind you instead of the baseline. Haugist spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves did fight very hard, Garnett, Wiggins and Towns all played the whole quarter, Garnett's physical fitness has turned on the red light, and Towns's physical fitness is also stretched, only Wiggins feels that he can barely hold on, and the Lakers' Hoggist, who also played the whole game, is still full of energy like a water cooler manager.

Garnett was too tired to stand up, he slumped in his chair and took two sips of his drink, wiping the sweat from his body with a towel repeatedly, "No, my limbs are like lead poured into them, what kind of freak is that Hoggist?" Why can't he tell that he has exercised vigorously except for the sweat on his body? ”

Garnett's doubts were not answered by his teammates, and Garnett could only sigh to himself: "Alas, being young is good!" I think when I was in high school, I felt that the opponents were all rookies, and it was effortless to solve them, so I was also running tirelessly all over the court, and after entering the league, I found that the gap between the opponent and my strength was much smaller than in high school. ”

"You mean that Hoggist's level is far above us, and it is easy to play with us, so he has always had a lot of energy?" Downs asked, gasping for air.

"I really don't know if we are too weak or if he is too strong, I entered the league in '95, and in today's 21 years, only Jordan has made me feel so powerless." Garnett shook his head and sighed.

Downs was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a long time, Garnett can be regarded as a living fossil that has witnessed the recent history of the NBA, from the 90s of the last century to the present, there is continuous fresh blood injection in the league, Garnett has played against most of the players who have existed in the NBA in the past 21 years, so he has this right to speak, and his words are quite credible.

But it was precisely because Garnett's words were so credible that Downs was even more surprised, and Hoggist, the goal he hoped to catch up with in high school, directly reached heights that he might not be able to achieve in his life after entering the league together. This draft may be firmly imprinted in everyone's minds because of Hogist, 96 Golden Generation, 03 Platinum Generation, 15 years of this draft will be called by future generations? Diamond Generation? The Star Generation? Or is it the king generation? I really don't know if it's an honor or a sadness to run in the same election as him.

'We have 81 games to play, is it really necessary to fight hard in the first game? Today, I think it's better to give up strategically! Coach Michelle suggested.

"Give up...... These two words are easy to say and easy to do, but once we get used to giving up, I'm afraid we will no longer have the motivation to fight! Garnett's eyes were full of unwillingness, but his body really didn't allow him to return to the court.

At this time, the physical trainer raised a more serious question on the side, "We have to go to the plateau to face the Nuggets the day after tomorrow, if we can't maintain our strength, we may lose even worse in the next game!" ”

Garnett was silent for a long time after listening, hammered the chair next to him heavily, and then covered his head with a towel, "Everyone is tired in the third quarter, let's send a substitute lineup to try it in the fourth quarter, if we can chase the opposite substitute lineup within 10 points, we will make the last fight, if not, we will give up!" ”

Downs felt both relieved and a little lost after hearing this, although he finally didn't have to struggle to chase the point difference that had no hope at all, but he was also on the same team with a 20-year career and experienced superstar, Hougist had been able to make Kobe Bryant easily lie down and win, but he still wanted Kevin to do his best to escort him, which was really embarrassing.

In the fourth quarter, the Lakers based on the small-ball lineup at the end of the third quarter, replaced Hougist and replaced Blake, this pure bench lineup is not good at organization, even the point guard Reed is an offensive guard, so this is basically releasing water. And the Timberwolves fielded Shabazz in the fourth quarter. Martin, Bjelica, Lu Daige, and Giang were substitutes, and Lu Dairi's appearance also won the cheers and applause of many Chinese student fans.

The substitutes on both sides were eager to try, and as soon as the whistle blew, the two sides played in the fourth quarter, but Shabazz and Martin's backcourt combination was still superior, and the difference had narrowed to 12 points with seven minutes remaining. The Timberwolves seem to have rekindled hope, and the starters on the bench here are ready to return to the court, but the Lakers' old K coach is also very cautious, and he replaced Hougist and Yi Jianlian first, and the Timberwolves who shot three-point shots at the top of the arc have no temper, and Hoggist alone locked Shabazz and Martin on the defensive end. In the time of nearly 2 minutes, Hogist and Yi Jian jointly scored 13 points, playing a wave of 13:2 climax, and the difference was directly stretched to 23 points.

Hougist and Yi Jianlian sat back on the bench again, they were like two assassins, suddenly cutting into the battlefield, quickly harvesting heads, catching the opponent by surprise, and then quickly withdrawing from the battlefield, leaving the opponent without any chance to adapt.

Wiggins and LaVine walked back to the bench from the waiting area for players to play, and Hoggist had already scored 50 points to break Chamberlain's debut scoring record of 43 points, and he had no hope of chasing the point reversal, but would give Hoggist a chance to break Chamberlain's record for the highest 58 points in another rookie season.

The Timberwolves officially conceded defeat, and the benches on both sides staged a tinkling concert in the final garbage time. The final score was fixed at 123:95, and Hougist led the Lakers to slaughter the Timberwolves by 28 points, and by the way, he paid tribute to the Tiger Fight JRS.

After the game, everyone returned to the locker room, and when everyone took off their shoes and chatted, Coach K walked in with two baskets of champagne with a data sheet, "Who, Myers came over to help, you haven't taken a shower yet, right?" That's good, whoever takes a bath first deserves it! We're going to celebrate with champagne now! ”

"Celebrate what? It's just a regular season win, isn't it? Bryant questioned.

Old K smiled and shook his head, "Of course it's not to celebrate the victory, what we want to celebrate is that Hoggist broke a record that has been in the dust for 56 years, think about it, 56 years of untouched record, isn't it worth opening champagne to celebrate?" ”

Kobe Bryant took the data record and looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "Am you mistaken? I feel like Hoggist has made about the same number of shots as me! How can you score so many more points than me, 50 points, and it's a triple-double of 50 points, it's just an exaggeration! ”

Everyone came up to watch the data records, Kobe Bryant scored 20 points on 7-of-10 shots, while Hoggist hit 16 of 20 shots, 10-of-14 three-pointers, 6-of-6 two-pointers, and also scored 8 free throws, scoring a total of 50 points, while there were 17 assists, 11 rebounds, 7 steals and 4 blocks in the account.
