Downs couldn't help but shake his head, the first two games were too smooth on the inside, and he obviously underestimated Mozgov's movement speed. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In fact, Mozgov's movement is indeed slow, but people's speed can be changed through hard work, and Mozgov's defense is obviously his super-level performance.

The result is a solid risk.

Mohammed sent the ball on the sideline, and Rubio played it back to Downs.

This time, Xiao Nance learned from his experience and directly chose to go around the front, and the two of them had a hand-to-hand fight, and the scene was quite intense.

Downs was slowly finding his position, but the time was ticking off, and Rubio had no choice but to throw his hand at Wiggins, who took a step forward with the ball and shot before the whistle blew.

"Bang!"

Under Batum's top defense, he made a hasty shot to hit the iron again.

The rebound was grabbed by Mozgov.

Mozgov then gave the ball to Don Shuai.

Tang Shuai accelerated and rushed forward, afraid of Tang Shuai's breakthrough, Rubio's top defense deliberately shrank back a small step, and it was this small step, Tang Shuai did not hesitate at all, one step away from the three-point line, and directly raised his hand to shoot.

"Huh!"

Basketball hollow into the net, three-point shot again!

"****, them!" Nicholson stood up from the sidelines suddenly, held his big belly, and shouted at Tang Shuai on the field.

Jordan on the side was already smiling from ear to ear.

The Timberwolves called a timeout.

Tang Shuai hit 4 of 5 shots, plus 3 free throws, and personally played a wave of 12-2 offensive, which instantly stretched the score to 18-9.

The Timberwolves almost only lasted three minutes in the opening game, and then they were stopped by Tang Shuai alone.

"Don! Tang Dynasty! ”

When the players stopped playing, the audience shouted Tang Shuai's name loudly.

"Well done, great job...... Shaw greeted the players one by one after the players came off the field, obviously satisfied with their performance on the field.

"We need to play a strong counter-attack, look around you, are you going to make everybody think you're a coward?" At the other end of the pitch, Thibodeau was almost yelling.

After the timeout, the Lakers directly replaced Tang Shuai to rest, and only let Batum play with four substitutes.

On the other hand, on the Timberwolves' side, Towns and Rubio are still on the court, and it can be seen that they are trying to use this time to recover some scores.

“let’s.go！ lakers！ ”

The audience at the scene also saw the Lakers' shortcomings in the lineup, and as soon as they came back from a timeout, they shouted loudly for the home team.

On the Timberwolves' offense, Rubio advanced to the front court with the ball and beckoned Towns to a pick-and-roll.

After the ball was dismantled, Rubio returned the ball to Downs, who took the ball for a probe step, and after Mozgov, who was cheating for a while, he used his speed to squeeze through and score a layup, and the fans on the sidelines were agitated.

The fans in the front row unconsciously looked at Billups, and they could see that the Lakers did not have an advantage in this lineup on the court.

Billups didn't make any personnel adjustments, but walked to the sidelines and shouted to the players: "Beat the rhythm up!" ”

On the Lakers' offense, Stephenson advanced to the front court with the ball, beckoned Mozgov to block and dismantle, and then went inside to kill.

He's fast, and he's got Hill past him and he's about to go to the basket.

At this moment, Downs rushed up, and Stephenson chose to be strong without saying a word.

"Bang!"

The two men collided in the air, and Downs' power prevailed, and Stephenson was pushed back.

After Downs defended the ball, he took a big step forward to break the ball in Stephenson's hand, but at that moment, the referee's whistle sounded on the sidelines.

The referee points to Downs and blocks the foul!

Downs jumped to his feet and turned back to the referee to explain, but his arguments had no effect.

Stephenson gave Downs a meaningful look, then took the ball from the referee and ran straight to the sideline.

The NBA home whistle has always existed in the league, and the ball was blown before it was blown or not, and since the referee blew it, it will not change.

Stephenson sent the ball out of the sideline, handed it to Mike Dermott for a while, and then took advantage of Landry's block, and then took the jump shot directly after receiving the ball.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, the ball Mike Dermott returned the ball fast enough, almost an empty shot, and Stephenson also seized the opportunity and hit it steadily.

There was a burst of cheers, but Stephenson's wrong hands were stirring up the atmosphere when he returned to the defense.

For a moment, the cheers that were originally just at the normal level suddenly increased, and the sound was so high-pitched that it seemed to tear down the entire roof.

The next second, when the Timberwolves attacked, that cheer immediately turned into a shout.

“defense！ defnese！ ”

A deafening shout resounded throughout the arena.

This kind of noise is very uncomfortable for the Timberwolves players, and honestly, this is their first playoff road game in 12 years.

Rubio gave the ball to Mohammed, who broke through to the inside and wanted to give the ball to Downs, but perhaps he was nervous, and the ball went straight out of his hand at the moment of passing.

Downs and Landry grabbed a ball, and the shorter Landry took a better position, and finally hugged the ball in his arms, and without waiting for Downs to grab it, he threw it directly to Mike Dermott not far away, and Mike Dermott threw it to Stephenson.

The quick pass was formed in the blink of an eye, and Stephenson had Hot Wheels at his feet and slammed straight forward.

Rubio was a step too slow to chase and could only watch Stephenson score on a light layup in the frontcourt.

Because there was no one to defend, Stephenson glanced back when he went to the basket, which caused a burst of laughter from the fans on the sidelines.

"This Lance is so funny." Knoll couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile.

"It looks like the Lakers have taken the initiative on the court, and these Timberwolves players are paying for their youth." Barkley also spoke in the commentary seat.

As he spoke, the Timberwolves made another mistake in their coordination, Hill's return ball to Mohammed went directly to Stephenson, and Stephen Lee faced Rubio's defense to the frontcourt, and saw the opportunity to hit the ground back to the follow-up Mike Dermott, who shot directly outside the three-point line, and his hand fell.

After scoring the goal, Mike Dermott reached out and made a three-point pose, and the scene suddenly fell into a high-pitched rhythm again.

The Timberwolves were forced to call a timeout.

By this time they were completely disorganized.

Thibodeau stretched out his hand and pressed it on his head, he originally hoped to keep Towns and Rubio on the court to close the score, but after these few rounds, let alone close the score, it was 7-0 by the Lakers, and the difference was already 16 points.

"Well done!" Knoll got up and high-fived the players off the court, and his excited look was fully into the playoff role.

After the timeout, Thibodeau replaced Downs and Rubio, leaving Wiggins with four substitutes to play, and seeing his sad face, it was obvious that he was helpless.

In fact, according to the performance of the Timberwolves in the regular season, the Timberwolves are at least equal to the Lakers, even if they are not much stronger, but now, young players, including Towns, are in chaos, even if he is incarnated. Povich, it's hard to turn the tide of the game.

In the wave of roars of the fans at the scene, the Lakers became more and more courageous, and by the end of the third quarter, the difference had been stretched to 25 points.

That's the end of the game.

110-95, the Lakers won the game by 15 points, although the point difference was less than the last game, but the fourth quarter was basically garbage time, and most of the main players only played three quarters.

Throughout the game, except for the first three minutes of the opening game, the Timberwolves played with great momentum, and then they were defeated by Tang Shuai's waves.

Tang Shuai only played 20 minutes and finally scored 22 points and 6 assists, and six of the remaining players scored in double figures, and even Grant scored 10 points in the fourth quarter.

With the third leg of the game, the Lakers have already led the series 2-1, and it is easier to play each game, and the promotion looks like a sure thing.

However, the team's coach Billups was cautious, and in the post-game interview, he did not praise the players, but counted some details of the players' inadequacy in the game, which also made the post-game media much less touted about the game.

In fact, Billups did not only express this idea in front of the media, but also repeatedly emphasized the mentality with the players in daily training.

In the NBA game, if you play too easy in the first round, many of them will perform poorly in the second round, and may even be eliminated, the main reason for this is that the mentality becomes impetuous and becomes contemptuous of the opponent.

Conversely, some of the teams that play a tight game in the first round of the playoffs, or even the kind of game that has been played after the peeling skin, will be better in the second round.

Billups didn't have the ability to make the game scorching, but he reminded his players all the time.

And that reminder really worked.

On April 26, U.S. time, the fourth match between the two sides came to life at the Staples Center.

The Timberwolves have reached a point where there is no way back, and if they lose again, they will be forced to the match point by the Lakers.

At the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves showed great competitiveness, and even at halftime, thanks to the courageous play of Towns and Wiggins, they only fell behind 51-55, which was completely different from the halftime performance of the previous two games.

However, this stalemate did not last long, shortly after the start of the third quarter, the Lakers started a rapid offensive and defensive battle under the leadership of Tang Shuai, and the Timberwolves' defense collapsed little by little in the cheers of more than 20,000 fans at the scene.

116-106, the Lakers finally won their home streak, which was also their third straight win in the first round of the playoffs.

With this game, the Lakers already have a 3-1 lead in the big score, and this round of matchups has shown a completely one-sided trend after the start of the week.

"Black Six" seems to be an irreversible trend. (To be continued.) )
