Chapter 206 "Holy City" Tactics

The catch-up didn't stop, and the Timberwolves landed in Angel City to play the Los Angeles Lakers, who are first in the West, in Staples in Los Angeles.

Kobe Bryant continued his league-leading dominance with 31 points and 5 assists, and his excellent play in the third quarter dominated the game and successfully took the Timberwolves away.

Li Shihao is obviously too tender in the face of Kobe, the first person in the league, Kobe's scoring means are too comprehensive, Cory Brewer can't prevent him, and a black Mamba Kobe who can't be restrained on the offensive end is too terrifying.

Bryant can do whatever he wants on the offensive end, and even if the Timberwolves sacrifice a wrap-and-wrap strategy, they can't change the weak situation.

Once the package is clamped, the Timberwolves' defense will be porous, and the Lakers are not vegetarians at any point on the court, and they can receive the basketball after Kobe Bryant's bag at any time and hit the empty position.

The pressure of the first place in the West was too great, the Timberwolves were overwhelmed by the whole game, and when the game was over, all the players of the Timberwolves were like being fished out of the shower room, sweating all over, too tired.

Li Shihao and Lefu even wanted to find a bed to lie down and rest comfortably, they didn't even want to move their fingers, they were really tired to the point that their bones were crispy.

In the regular season, against the Los Angeles Lakers, the first in the West, the Timberwolves have not won once so far, although there is still the last game that has not been played, but Li Shihao They understand that this season is very likely to be a sweeping situation, and it will not change much.

They will only be able to fight a little more in the regular season to grab the seventh spot in the West and let the Los Angeles Lakers, a difficult opponent, play the San Antonio Spurs.

If the two teams meet in the playoffs, the young Timberwolves will not have any chance, and the probability of a sweep has reached eight or nine percent.

After the Lakers finished the first game, the Timberwolves' four-game road schedule ended. Back to the home stadium to rest.

In the next home game against the Raptors in the East, the Raptors led by Chris Bosh, another superstar of the 03 Platinum generation, were not bad, but unfortunately they were hunted by wolves led by Li Shihao in the end, and they were finally slaughtered.

The Raptors still lack a good perimeter defender and point guard, and if one of the two is available, the Raptors could beat the Timberwolves tonight.

Pity. The Raptors lost, and Chris Bosh played well alone, but it was difficult to salvage the team's defeat.

At 103:96, the Timberwolves beat the Raptors at home, who came with great ambitions but ended up disappointed.

On March 25, the Timberwolves faced the Bobcats away, and Michael Jordan came to the scene to watch the game and cheer for his players. Unfortunately, it played a negative buff role, and the Bobcats collectively got lost in the Timberwolves' offensive defense.

Charlotte Bobcats still have a long way to go, with Michael Jordan's visionary vision of a "genius" in the draft trade, the rise of the Bobcats will have to wait for at least many years, unless Michael Jordan someday figured it out, will no longer covet the power in his hands, and is willing to hand over the team to a professional manager, but this wants to be admitted by the arrogant basketball god. It's obviously too early, and Michael Jordan is still basking in his championship team dream. If he wants to wake up from his dream, I'm afraid he will need more blows.

The Timberwolves once again made a double of five, Li Shihao used excellent organizational skills to connect the inside and outside of the Timberwolves again, as long as his teammates ran out of the open space and had the right opportunity, Li Shihao's pass will always arrive in time. This hand-to-hand passing technique, Li Shihao is also playing very slippery now.

As long as you observe the situation more during the game, pay attention to the running position of the players around you, and have your own excellent judgment in the overall situation, you can do it.

But. This is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, fortunately, Li Shihao's ball quotient is not bad, and it is not difficult to do all this.

In the third game on the 27th, the Orlando Magic, the Timberwolves were not lost in Disneyland, and the dominance of the inside line of Warcraft Howard is still limited, perhaps his defensive ability is the top in the league, but the deterrence on the offensive end is far from reaching the standard of the league's first center, not to mention O'Neal at his peak, let's just say that Big Brother Yao Ming can easily beat Warcraft Howard, and the life of "eating, sleeping, and fighting Warcraft" is not exercised in vain.

Warcraft Howard is difficult to resist the combination of Kevin Love and Marc Gasol under the basket, Gasol Jr. and Lefu are both big men with tigers on their backs, the power end is calm and durable, and their movements are also flexible, facing the bouncing superman Howard, Lefu and Marc Gasol's team, so that Warcraft is suffering in the restricted area.

The Timberwolves are on a three-game winning streak on the road, and their next game is the final game at the end of March, when they return to the center of their home target to face the Phoenix Suns once again.

There was still no suspense in the game, Steve Nash once again took away the Timberwolves with a mercury attack, and the MVP's demeanor was still faintly visible.

There is still a big gap between the Phoenix Suns and the Timberwolves, and this gap cannot be made up by mentality, willpower, and confidence.

This season, the Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns, and San Antonio Spurs have become the biggest sufferers for the Timberwolves.

The Phoenix Suns, like the Los Angeles Lakers, have a tough offensive ability that makes the Timberwolves' defense look like a piece of paper, and they are completely unstoppable in the face of the league's top offense of the two teams.

Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant, these two players have become the most difficult players for the Timberwolves to limit in the game, and the current Timberwolves' playing style has changed a lot from the beginning of the season, and they have some tactics similar to the Spurs in offense and defense.

Using tactics such as running, blocking, and covering, to open up the offensive space, open up the shooting space, in exchange for offensive time, in exchange for shooting time, such a strategy is very effective, greatly improving the offensive efficiency of the Timberwolves.

However, the Phoenix Suns are too familiar with this set, they have been in the hands of the San Antonio Spurs twice in a row, and the experience of folding wings twice has made the Phoenix Suns know the tactics of their mortal enemies well, and now they meet the young Timberwolves, and naturally fight mercilessly, 98:111, the big score rout made the Timberwolves lose the game again.

This season, the Phoenix Suns seem to have deep enough preparation for the Spurs, and when they face the tactics offered by the Timberwolves, they can easily crack it, whether it is the starting lineup led by Steve Nash or the bench fireteam led by Grant Hill, when they meet the Timberwolves, they can respond in time and crack the Timberwolves' "Holy City" tactics.
