At the end of the second quarter, the Lakers counterattacked strongly under the leadership of Kobe Bryant and Shaquill O'Neal, and the Lakers led the Timberwolves by five points at 50:45, and Kobe Bryant also scored 15 points, 2 assists, 2 blocks and 3 rebounds in a single quarter.

Seeing such a result, Phil Jackson and Kupchak must have regretted that their bowels are green, after all, the joining of Gary Payton and Karl Malone did not bring much advantage to the Lakers, only a literal advantage, and because they often can't play because of injuries, but because of the reputation of the Lakers, many people regard the Lakers as opponents, and the Finals team regards the Lakers as the biggest opponent, and the playoff teams also regard the Lakers as a team that must be avoided. And the lottery team is also hoping to earn a little fame by playing the Lakers.

In a league where everyone is the enemy, the Lakers can be said to be embattled, and every team is very hard to beat them, and they can't wait to fight to the death.

Today's commentators are the famous commentator Charles Klee and his partner Kenneth Miss, he is very unhappy with today's game, because he thinks the Lakers' performance is really bad, "I think the Lakers' performance is simply not as good as an ordinary playoff team, if I have such a strong teammate, how can I play so anxiously, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are really not good, four Hall of Fame level players are playing like this, I am ashamed of them." Charles Barkley looked unhappy, obviously he was jealous.

Kenneth Miss doesn't see it that way, "Your basketball views are really not flattering, basketball is not about paper strength, but about specific play, no matter how many stars there are, it is just imaginary, after all, it has not been transformed into combat effectiveness, so it is understandable that the Lakers are playing like this, after all, it is only the first season, and the run-in is not enough." ”

In fact, Charles Barkley is also optimistic about the Lakers, but he just can't get used to the half-dead state of the Lakers, after all, he has the first team in history, although it is only the strength on the surface, but you also have to show a little bit of kingly spirit, there is no domineering at all.

While Charles Barkley was arguing with Kenneth Miss, the third quarter began.

The Lakers players are also ready to go, because just now Phil Jackson has given an order, he asked the Lakers players to solve the battle today, otherwise even if the Lakers successfully advance to the seventh, it is also very dangerous to play against the Pistons, although he also thinks that the Pistons will definitely not be able to beat the Lakers, as can be seen from the regular season results, although it is only a 1:1 draw, but the Lakers have a great advantage over the Pistons, because the Lakers played against the Pistons for the first time, The Lakers haven't matured yet, and the Pistons just got lucky with Osborne's stunner.

In the second match, the Lakers almost ran in, the Lakers defeated the Pistons, suppressed the Pistons throughout the game, and the Pistons had no power to resist, so when they learned about the game against the Pistons, Phil Jackson laughed in his heart? It's just that the Timberwolves need to solve the Timberwolves to enter the Finals before talking about anything else, his inner thoughts are that the Western Conference Finals are the Finals, and winning the Timberwolves, the Lakers' chances of winning the championship can be said to be nine out of ten.

In order to advance to the Finals, Phil Jackson attaches great importance to Kobe Bryant, because in his opinion, Kobe Bryant does not suffer as a scoring guard against any team in the West, and Shaquill O'Neal has an advantage in the center against any team in the East, so Kobe Bryant is still reused by Phil Jackson, and he also specifically asked Gary Payton to pass more to the outside line, both inside and outside.

Gary Payton also agreed, because he came to win the championship, not to quarrel with Kobe Bryant, although he was the foundation of the championship in his heart, but Kobe Bryant was very good, why did he always have trouble with him, Gary Payton hypnotized himself like this.

So in the third quarter of the game, the Lakers played quite harmoniously, how to say it was harmony, the Lakers were originally a superstar team, but for the overall benefit of the team, they actually started to play team basketball.

Because O'Neill is overweight, and he is not young, his movement speed is much slower, and he is too lazy to run because he just stands still, and no one dares to empty him.

Kobe Bryant is different, he is on the rise, he is very energetic, and he also needs personal honors, so he is very active in running, after all, he does not dare to ask for the ball directly from Gary Payton's hands, in order to get more opportunities, he is also desperately running, making Sprewell, who defends him, miserable.

Gary Payton saw that Kobe Bryant worked so hard, and he was also very cooperative with giving him the ball, and Kobe Bryant didn't plan to pass it out again after receiving the ball, he directly turned on the personal offensive mode.

Like what kind of back-to-back singles, step-back jumpers, gliding dunks, back-to-back passes, how to be elegant, how to look good, how to do, so Gary Payton was speechless, thinking: I passed you the ball to brush up on some assist data, but how did you Kobe Bryant repay me, they all dribbled the basketball two or three times before shooting, aren't you cheating me?

However, when he saw the score of the third quarter of the game, Gary Payton's resentment suddenly dissipated a lot, because the Lakers had achieved a huge lead, the Lakers led the Timberwolves by 11 points at 77:66 in the third quarter, and Kobe Bryant also scored 16 points in a single quarter, plus the previous score, Kobe Bryant has scored 35 points, if nothing else, Kobe Bryant should be able to easily cut 40+.

However, Kobe Bryant didn't have time to rejoice, because the Lakers hadn't won yet, and knew that Kobe Bryant wouldn't show his expression until the moment the game was over.

In the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves are not going to rest on their laurels, Kevin Garnett intends to strengthen his individual offense, and then improve his defense against Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, the Lakers are not invincible.

But the Lakers also have this kind of idea, the two teams thought of going together, so the two teams started a scuffle, Kobe Bryant is a master of melee, the more chaotic his individual singles skills are more important, and the Timberwolves have no such players, Sprewell is not bad, but unfortunately he is older and does not have the strength he had at the beginning.

So in the end, the Timberwolves still didn't resist O'Neal plus Kobe Bryant's combined offense and lost.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 100-93, and the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 4-2 to advance to the Finals against the Pistons. (To be continued.) )
