Chapter 129: Fierce Rival
Kobe Bryant scored 45 points alone before he gave up, and by this time, the game had lost its suspense early. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 118-93, and the Lakers successfully defended their home court.
Toney's offensive desire in today's game was not very strong, he only played 30 minutes, only took 10 shots, hit 5 shots, and got 14 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks in a decent way. On the other hand, Kevin Garnett of the Timberwolves kept jumping from the waist position, but he also shot 19 points and 11 rebounds.
However, it has to be mentioned that this skinny and weak kid has really strong planning ability, although his style of play is not tough, but he is very perfect as an axis of the team's offense, and Kevin Garnett actually delivered 7 assists in the whole game.
He's a big forward! And Tony naturally knows it very well from close range, it is not luck that this Garnett can deliver 7 assists, this guy still has some real material.
And his defensive area is simply terrifying.
It's also the first time Tony has seen an inside player who can be put from the restricted area to the three-point line, which can only be said to be due to his perverted movement speed, which can really be defended from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position.
Of course, if it's against Tony's No. 5 position, then this guy named Garnett will have to weigh it again.
After defeating the young Timberwolves, the Lakers then got three days of full rest, November 27 is Thanksgiving, and the Lakers have three games before Thanksgiving, but the Lakers' players don't seem to have any pressure, except for the daily training, everyone is no longer too strict with themselves, and even Coach Harris, who has always been very strict in training, is surprisingly very lenient in managing the boys under him.
Anyway, they have three full days, and they have maintained that kind of high-intensity game for a season, and it is very necessary to relax properly, and Harris also knows the reason for relaxation in his heart.
In these three days, Tony naturally spent all his time with Jessica, and since the start of the season, Tony has gradually become busy again, and he has gradually begun to snub Jessica.
Thinking of being his real girlfriend, since she moved into Tony's house and lived with Tony, Tony's affairs have become more and more busy, although Jessica doesn't say anything, Tony himself still feels a little guilty.
So, in the past few days, he even put the basketball aside and concentrated on accompanying Jessica.
Kobe Bryant was immersed in the world of basketball by himself, and did not come to disturb Tony's two-person world.
Three days passed quickly, and the Lakers had another game, which was on the road.
But fortunately, their opponent is the Clippers, so the Lakers don't have to fly around anymore, and the game against the Clippers, home and away are meaningless, because they are the home of the Lakers, but the floor LOGO is different.
Compared with the Lakers' excellent roster matching, the Clippers' roster is not star-studded, although they have not been short of talented players, but due to the stupidity and stinginess of owner Sterling, the Clippers have always been at the bottom of the league, even their best record is only to reach the division semifinals, and it is rare to break into the playoffs in this season.
Last season, they entered the playoffs again after three seasons, but only reaped the fate of being swept in the first round, and their extremely stingy owner Raheem Sterling in order to save as much as possible, not only did not think about strengthening the squad, but also did everything possible to find opportunities to save money, and even recently there have been some comments outside that Sterling is preparing to give up the Forum Arena to be his home stadium, and he is preparing to move the team to a small stadium in the suburbs.
This has undoubtedly become a joke after dinner.
Of course, the Lakers players didn't pay too much attention to this game, and the continuous victories since the new season have gradually regained the temperament of this aristocratic team, and they certainly don't care about the team that has only won 1 win and 11 losses so far in the season.
The Lakers' arrogant move undoubtedly angered the Clippers players, according to their words, rookies also have the dignity of rookies, and the Lakers are discriminating against them in this way, and they will take revenge.
However, it is not an egg.
Even if the Lakers let their guard down, this gap in strength cannot be made up with a few cruel words, and the Lakers still beat the Clippers without leaving a trace of mercy.
119 to 92.
The Lakers slaughtered the Clippers by 27 points, and they played Sterling, the owner of the Clippers who was watching the game, looked very ugly.
Of course, this is understandable, after all, although he doesn't care much about his team, seeing them being abused like this will make his face a little unbearable.
Kobe Bryant's game today can be said to be a good fight, the Clippers can't find a person who can limit Kobe Bryant, playing 35 minutes, 13 of 20 shots, and scoring 31 points, such a performance is enough to explain everything.
And Tony, he also turned over the river and the sea on the inside, with 21 points, 19 rebounds and 5 blocks, he once again handed over inhumane data and abused the Clippers' interior group.
After the whole game, a total of 6 Lakers scored double-doubles, which makes people have to sigh that the Lakers have risen so fast in the past two years.
It's just that after the game, the Lakers didn't show too much excitement, although they didn't say it directly, but did not hesitate to praise at the press conference, but it is not difficult for everyone to see from their eyes that it is not worth getting excited about beating a team of this level.
What the Lakers really care about is their next opponent, the Miami Heat.
Since Pat Riley, known as the god operator, left the Lakers to go to the Heat, the iron-blooded coach who single-handedly created the Lakers SHOWTIME era directly led the Heat into a strong team, under his coaching, the Heat successfully reached the playoffs last season around Alonzo Mourning as the core, and this season, although the Heat's star Alonzo Mourning has missed the twelve games since the beginning of the season due to injury, the Heat has not been depressed by this.
They still have a good record of 8 wins and 4 losses, all thanks to the Heat's small point guard who is only 183 tall - Tim Hardaway.
This guy has averaged 23.7 points and 6.9 assists per game so far this season, and the little man who was selected to the best team last season almost single-handedly said that the team was on his shoulders in Mourning's absence.
