The Timberwolves are a team that is clearly dominated by interior players, and their interior offense and defense are top-notch, but their outside line is a mess, or they could have taken out the Lakers last season to reach the Finals, and then they were abused by the Pistons.

In fact, the reason why the Timberwolves can't beat the Lakers is not that Kevin Garnett can't beat Shaquill's O'Neal, but that they don't have players who can compete with Kobe Bryant on the outside.

The Timberwolves are on par with the Lakers' inside, after all, Shaquill's O'Neal is already going downhill, while Kevin Garnett is in his prime, and Kevin Garnett has an advantage in terms of data, but the Lakers' outside players can beat the Timberwolves, so the shortcomings of the Timberwolves are also obvious.

Although there is a player named Wallis Zebiak this year, the style of play is very similar to Kobe Bryant, he wants his life when he gets up, and he wants his own life when he gets up, but Szebiak has a shortcoming, that is, he is more authoritarian than Kobe Bryant, and no one recognizes him when he goes crazy, and he only has basketball in his eyes, but Kobe Bryant is not like this, and he is still very willing to cooperate with you when he approves the player, O'Neal is such a teammate.

So the Pistons also let Szzczebiak shoot some mid-range shots from time to time, cutting off his connection with other Timberwolves players, seeing the Pistons players unscrupulously let him shoot, not letting him break through, and not letting him pass, so he did it alone, after all, he still has obvious confidence in his shooting, although he knows that his shooting percentage is a little unstable, but his innate self-confidence makes him extremely determined.

After Wallis Zebiak made some difficult shots, the Pistons players defended him more intensely, but he still looked for opportunities to make his own shots, and his determination shocked Osborne and confused the rest of the Pistons, who all wanted to know who the Timberwolves were the boss and if it was Kevin Garnett, why didn't he stop Szebiak.

In fact, Kevin Garnett also wanted to stop him, but now that Szczebiak can still shoot basketball, he has no reason to stop him, but what happened next surprised Szczebiak.

Then the Pistons players began to pinch Szczebiak, from the moment he didn't catch the ball, Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups, from time to time, dangled around him, not letting him catch the ball comfortably, even after receiving the ball, they didn't let him shoot comfortably, anyway, they didn't want Szczebiak to feel good at any stage.

Even if Szzzerbiak is defended so tightly, he still goes his own way, but now it is very difficult for him to pass the ball to Kevin Garnett, because Kevin Garnett is also surrounded by Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace at the moment, and if he wants to pass the ball to him, there is a high chance of being tackled.

Osborne also took advantage of this opportunity to shoot three points desperately, and his three-point shot was also very awkward, after all, the Timberwolves players also focused on him defensively, so he also gathered defensive giants like Sam Cassell, Osborne played quite smart, he will not force shots like Szczebiak, but create open shooting space through running and blocking cover.

Osborne's two-block strategy with Rasheed Wallace and Chauncey Billups worked well, and Osborne lived up to expectations and made a lot of key shots.

The score gap between the two sides is getting smaller and smaller, Osborne's three-point shot is a big killer for the Pistons, basically as long as Osborne has enough shooting space, Osborne throws the basketball out, and the basketball may become a three-pointer, Osborne After throwing 4 three-pointers, the Pistons' score came to 43 points, 2 points away from the Timberwolves.

Kevin Garnett didn't care about the Rashid Wallace and Ben Wallace at this time, and he knew that if he couldn't blow up the Pistons inside and open up space for the Timberwolves, then the Timberwolves' game would end here.

Then Kevin Garnett showed the lineman to pass the basketball to him, Kevin Garnett is the Timberwolves boss after all, and even Szczebiak would not dare to disobey his wishes.

After Kevin Garnett got the basketball, he used his height advantage to create lethality on the inside, Osborne saw Kevin Garnett turn off the fire for most of the quarter, and when the first half was about to end, he began to explode, he raised his hand high, and then shot the basketball in a clean shot, although Kevin Garnett had difficulty entering the three-second zone, but the close-range shot, Kevin Garnett was also accurate.

Rasheed Wallace struggled with his height not being able to catch up with Kevin Garnett, so he could only try his best to interfere with Kevin Garnett's shot, but it seemed to be useless at the moment, and Osborne saw this situation and had to fight against the attack, which was also a tactic that was formulated from the beginning.

So Osborne shoots three-pointers through teammates' pick-and-roll covers and his own running, and Kevin Garnett also uses his strength to ignore the packs of Rasheed Wallace and Ben Wallace to shoot inside, this is an obvious game between outside players against interior players, and according to past experience, interior players will always have a big advantage in the game.

However, this rule was broken by Michael Jordan, and he also started the era of outside players dominating the game, which also proved that even if the team does not have a super center, as long as the firepower is enough, it can still win the championship.

So now is the transition era from inside players to outside players, and in the future league, outside players will dominate the game, and more superstars will also come from outside players, especially point guards, point guards, small forwards and other player positions.

The traditional interior center is the first to disappear, the role is becoming more and more single, and gradually reduced to a blue-collar player who grabs rebounds, especially after O'Neal and Da Yao retired, and the role of the big forward is getting smaller and smaller, otherwise there are Kevin Garnett, Tim Duncan, and Deke Nowitzki are supporting the situation there, and the position of the big forward is about to become a blue-collar player.

Osborne is determined to make the interior player never turn around, as Stephen Curry did, after all, when the three-point shot starts to become a regular weapon in regular games, other teams must also have three-point shooters, otherwise the game won't last long and the game will take time.

Osborne knows that the image of the three-point shot is instability, but once the three-point shot becomes stable, how terrible this team is, no team can resist.

Therefore, the three-point team is the ultimate evolutionary direction, rather than the traditional closer to the basket, the greater the chance of winning.

Osborne made 10 three-pointers at halftime with high shots, and the Pistons finally led the Timberwolves by four points at 57-53. (To be continued.) )
