Although Barkley has been slandering how annoying the provocation of the pig is, the attitude of the big mouth towards the other person who contributed to this incident, Big Apple, is almost flattering, and he sighed to himself while sitting on the bench, "Hey, Lee's hand feels too hot, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid the Timberwolves will have to disarm and surrender after the first half." ”

Indeed, what Barkley said was not an exaggeration, or out of the idea of giving the three games a perfect finish, Li Chen played extremely excited today, only in the first quarter of 9 minutes, he scored 14 points very efficiently, the terrifying shooting rate of three shots from the outside is the reason for such a high score, and the big Apple's three-point shooting almost made Gomez, who was opposite him, cry.

Except for the first time, it was an unexpected performance at the level of Bynum actor, and the remaining two three-pointers were all at a real level, one by accelerating the dribble to shake off the opponent's position and then stopping the jump shot, and once receiving the return pass from Gasol on the inside line and hitting it backwards, although the big apple's shot options were a little reluctant, at least these two balls were hit without exception today.

"If he can stay in the same form for a season, then it's hard for me to imagine what the situation will be like for N**A!" Smith muttered to himself, and Li Chen's hand in the first quarter also surprised him very much.

In addition to the three three-pointers, the remaining two shots also hit the basket, and the only one that hit the iron was because the opponent fouled, and of course, the Big Apple also used one of his two free throws to say that as long as I shoot, there must be a score.

"Do you need to talk about that?" Barkley relished, "It's like this in all Big Apple games, Lee shoots threes, then defends, Lee shoots another three, then defends, then Lee shoots threes, then defends, and then ......."

"And then there was no more, and the league introduced a new rule, and the big apple's three-point line was changed to pull two meters out of the current line." Miller came up with a dry humor, but he said that this situation was really not impossible, after all, N**A is an old man's word, and he will do anything to keep the spectator of the game.

Barkley slapped the table excitedly, and Miller's words made him empathize, "Yes, Reggie, you're so right, it will definitely be like that, like the old guy who pushed out the basket for five seconds to limit me, if it weren't for that damn rule, I would have beaten Jordan's Bulls and won the championship!" ”

As for their partner's self, Smith and Miller tacitly chose to ignore it. "Well, the second quarter of the game starts soon, and the Timberwolves are still trailing by 11 points for the time being, and if no changes are made, then this game will likely end early! Let's see how the Timberwolves react to this situation! ”

The words on the commentary bench made Timberwolves head coach Randy Wittman shake his head, indeed, he also wants to change, but there are so many chips in his hand, no matter how much he changes, it will still be like this. The rotation of Jefferson and Love on the inside is still interesting, although the success rate is not high, but this is the only way for the Timberwolves to put the ball in the opponent's basket at present.

Iverson singled with the ball, and his gorgeous footsteps made An Zhu a little unbearable, Gasol saw that the situation was not right and hurried over to help defend, and the joint defense of the twin towers finally allowed the new wolf king to converge on the offensive momentum.

"Ball!" Lefu stood on the side and was in a hurry, he was almost empty, but the ball was firmly grasped by Jefferson, not that he didn't pass, it was completely because the blockade of the twin towers made him unable to find space to pass the ball at all.

Seeing that sooner or later he would make a mistake if he continued like this, Jefferson turned his heart sideways and arched Gasol on the side, and after squeezing out a little position, he raised his hand and prepared to shoot.

"Don't!" Gomez saw his teammate's move and hurriedly stopped him, but it was too late.

"Wow, Jefferson tried to make a shot, but Lee, who came from behind, jumped high and slapped the ball down, beautifully, and the basketball went straight into Bynum's arms." Kenny was timely on the field, "The Lakers went on a fast break, Ariza ran at the front, and Lee followed closely. ”

The sudden gift made An Zhu a little surprised, he didn't expect his teammate's block to cover the ball directly into his arms, looking at Li Chen, who had already turned back and accelerated, Bynum didn't have time to hesitate, and hurriedly passed the ball over.

Li Chen was always ready to attack quickly after he slapped the ball off, seeing the basketball flying in the direction of Bynum, he did not hesitate at all after landing, turned around, accelerated, and a series of actions immediately left Gomez behind him.

Bynum's pass flew immediately, Li Chen played the role of a transfer station perfectly, receiving the ball with his right hand, following with his left hand, pushing the ball out with both hands, he had already completed the transfer of the ball between the lightning and flint, and Gomez, who was following him, had not even completed the turn at the moment.

The tacit understanding cultivated in long-term training made Ariza ready to receive the ball for a long time, although Li Chen's pass was fast, but this was no problem for Ariza, after all, he was the only one in the Timberwolves' half at the moment, and in the face of the unblocked basket, Ariza poured the ball into it with the momentum of Mount Tai.

From Li Chen's block to Ariza's slam dunk, the seemingly complicated process actually took less than four seconds, and the big apple directed a real fast attack, the so-called fast attack, which is to make the opponent have no power to fight back.

As the most neutral of the three, Kennesmith did not hesitate to praise himself in the face of such a perfect fast break, "The Lakers' fast break cooperation is so exciting, they have completed the score in 3 seconds before and after, which has to remind people of the 7-second rule of the sun back then, the big Apple's pass is too fast!" ”

Indeed, although Li Chen's pass is neither tricky nor accurate, and the force is even a little big, it wins in a fast word, as long as the ball can be passed before the opponent reacts, Ariza, who is empty around him, has enough space to adjust his receiving angle.

As for the rest, it was entirely Ariza's personal decision, and he could put the ball in the hoop any way he wanted.

"Li, that pass of yours was too high, I almost didn't catch it, fortunately my bounce is excellent, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to catch it if I replaced you!" Ariza finally got a chance to be in the limelight, and he was in a good mood and even had the leisure to ridicule Li Chen's pass.

Li Chen glanced at his teammates, "Can I understand that you are despising my bounce?" ”

Bynum came out from behind at this time and hugged Li Chen, he looked depressed, "Cruz, you return my assist, I definitely made a mistake just now, I should throw the ball directly to Trevor, then the assist will be mine!" ”

Li Chen didn't believe Bynum's complaints, if he replaced An Zhu, he really didn't know where he could pass the ball, this guy just wanted to knock a bamboo pole when he performed like this, he cast a disdainful look at An Zhu very decisively, "Andrew, I thought of one thing, was that ball just now my block or your steal?" ”

"Of course it was my steal, if it weren't for my quick eyes, the ball would have been lost!" Bynum believes in his own merits, yes, if he hadn't received the ball, the basketball might have gone out of bounds, and if it was out of bounds, where did the fast break come from, after some thought, Bynum naturally put himself in the position of the primary hero.

"Well, that, probably, should be your cap!" Bynum's disdainful eyes made Bynum a little uncomfortable, and he had to change his statement, "Of course, it is possible to count both at the same time, that is the best, one steal is enough for me to mix up several games!" "Bynum is averaging 0.24 steals per game this season, and one steal is really enough for him to play four games.

On the Timberwolves' side, Li Chen's block acceleration attack was a blow to them, and a group of young people got together with sad faces, they thought that the strength of the Lakers without Kobe Bryant would drop a lot, even if they still couldn't beat it, but they wouldn't lose too badly, but no one expected that the second quarter had just begun, and the situation was already so bad.

The core of the team was covered, which was very demoralizing, especially after being covered, he was also dunked by the opponent's fast break, which was a significant blow to morale. Gomez's three-pointer proved that, and although he thought his chances were good enough, the basketball still popped up.

After Li Chen took the ball, he tried to break through again, this move he tried and failed, the short and stout Gomez had no way to face such a rogue trick in the Big Apple, he could only ensure that he could follow behind the opponent, as for the card position, it was already good if he could not lose his position.

From Gomez's entanglement, you can see how sad the Timberwolves are, even when there is such an obvious hole on the court, as the head coach, Randy Wittman still has no change movement.

He really can't find a replacement for Gomez, and the team's substitute Cory Brewer is not even as reliable as Gomez. As for using the No. 4 position to defend Li Chen, it is true that the height, arm span and weight are enough, but Wittman is not sure whether the Big Apple will shoot the opposing player out of the lane, although Gomez in the opposite position is about to be shot into Xiang.

Li Chen suddenly tried to jump after the inside line, but was hugged by Lefu who rushed over, and Eros didn't even give the opponent a chance to pass the ball. As for fouls, he really had no choice but to do it, the Big Apple shot 100 percent from the field in the entire first quarter, and it doesn't seem to be declining at the moment, except for the arrogance of fouling and killing opponents, Lefu can't think of any better way.

Although everyone praised him for his high ball quotient, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, let alone this timberwolves full of problems. Weitman also agrees with Lefou's choice, disrupting the opponent's rhythm through fouls is indeed the best choice at the moment, although it is, but it is the only way to do it.

Two free throws and zero hits! Lefu's eyes lit up, and Li Chen's shooting rate made him involuntarily guess whether the opponent's free throw level had dropped again. After all, some people say that Big Apple's free throw shooting rate is inversely proportional to the shooting percentage, and they also came up with evidence, saying that Big Apple's recent sharp drop in shooting rate is due to the increase in free throw shooting percentage.

Although this statement has always been heard as a joke by everyone, the forced Timberwolves can only pin their hopes on this unrealistic hypothesis.

Fouled again, in the expectant eyes of a group of people, Li Chen told the opponent through his two free throws and two hits that it was just an accident, although it was still unreliable, but at least his current free throws are not as easy to bully as before!

Eros shook his head, he can't even do this trick, then he really can't help it, at this moment, the only thing everyone can count on is the new wolf king Al Jefferson, if he suddenly breaks out and cuts a 40+20 or something, then maybe the timberwolves still have a chance. But if you think about it, if Jefferson can really do it, then how could the Celtics be willing to trade him for the wolf king?

The Lakers' blow to the Timberwolves was comprehensive and deadly, under the leadership of Li Chen, they seemed to completely ignore the opponent's fourth-to-last status in the West, and the Timberwolves' weak defensive system was miserable with various offensive methods.

The twin-tower combination has always been the Lakers' signature show, and this time they didn't disappoint the audience either, Gasol's skillful offense was no longer able to attract people's attention, and Bynum's open pick was their thing. Not only did Li Chen and Fisher, two good passers, complete the performance of their teammates, but even Gasol had a flash of inspiration and a big man on the inside assisted Bynum to dunk in the air.

Under the strong pressure of the inside, the Lakers' outside line also suddenly broke out, they seemed to be interested in competing with the inside, in addition to the big apple's shooting skills are still accurate, the old fish also seized the opportunity to score two goals, even Ariza, who was nicknamed Tiezha by the audience in Pingyue, scored a three-pointer in such an atmosphere, and the Lakers' all-round flowering made the Timberwolves fall behind by 21 points in the first half.

For the Timberwolves, who are fourth from the bottom in the West, especially against the Lakers, who are still the first in the West, this kind of point difference has almost pronounced their loss! (To be continued.) )
