Chapter 342: Perfect Victory

(Ask for recommendation)

"Kevin is fine, he looks like he's dying"

"I don't know, but it's clear that his progress has been completely sluggish, and his body looks like he's about to collapse, but his fighting spirit is still strong."

"It's not an equalweight confrontation at all, how many times have the big sharks hit Kevin in this fight, 100 times? 200 times? I swear I'd be dead if it were me, O'Neill is really fierce today."

The Minnesoe Goal Center is playing the first game of the Western Conference Finals when the Timberwolves host the Lakers, and there is a commotion in the stands of the Timberwolves at this time.

"Whew, I'm so tired" Garnett stuck to the back of Lakers center O'Neal and suddenly felt like he was unconscious, his whole body was aching, and for a while the big forward felt like his body was falling apart, this was the most tiring game he thought he had since entering the NBA, even if he was ravaged by Duncan, he didn't feel like this.

Once, twice, three times, Garnett was pushed away by O'Neal again and again and then pasted it again and again without hesitation, at this time the big forward's footsteps were already a little out of strength, and he looked completely weak, and his series of actions also seemed to be his own subconscious behavior, and the Timberwolves player Pierce and the Lakers player Kobe Bryant on the side also looked at O'Neal and Garnett's offense and defense in a daze.

O'Neal is still ready to beat Garnett to the death, the Lakers center has no intention of passing, nor does he intend to let any help, or others can't help, and the Lakers' victory or defeat in this game is completely on him alone.

Garnett was tired. That's for sure, after more than 30 minutes of one-on-one entanglement with the strongest and most powerful player in the league, no player will say that he is not tired, and besides, the magnitude difference between the two is so big, and the other party is so crazy.

Garnett is tired, O'Neal is also tired, this big man of the Timberwolves is too entangled, although he is completely dominant in strength, O'Neal also feels that his body is hit by the guy behind him. No one wants to bump their body into a pile of skeletons for dozens of minutes, and at this time, O'Neill is seriously in pain and has been impacting.

At this time, when Garnett pasted O'Neal for the fourth time, O'Neal actually hidden, and before Garnett pasted it, the league's No. 1 center took a step out and immediately faced Garnett. After Garnett was stunned, the center flexibly flashed Garnett and then hit the Timberwolves' basket again, and once again dunked, and after the center scored the ball, the Timberwolves fans on the scene once again burst into violent boos. In fact, for these fans, this Lakers big fat man is really annoying, in the past, only Timberwolves players wreaked havoc on the opponent's basket in the target center, but this time it was choked by the Lakers.

At this time, Garnett looked back at O'Neal, who was still hanging on the basket, and was distracted, which was the first time in this game that the center refused to fight with his body. It was also the first time Garnett felt his persistence had paid off in this game.

This time O'Neal won, he successfully deceived Garnett, and this time O'Neal also lost, he gave up his strongest point, and next time he probably won't be able to fool Garnett again.

"Great, great, Shaq O'Neill is still scoring. The center was completely unstoppable in this game, Kevin Garnett was defeated by him again, and then the big man once again wreaked havoc on the Timberwolves' basket."

It was the center's 54th point of the game, and with four minutes left in the game, the Lakers are now temporarily eight points behind. The Lakers also have a chance to chase after this game"

Michaels, the commentator of ABC on the commentary bench of the target center, said excitedly that this game was too ups and downs for him, the Lakers and the Timberwolves had been entangled in the score in the first half, even if it was the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves and the Lakers were not much different, and the Lakers' center O'Neal scored 48 points in the first three quarters, but after the start of the fourth quarter, the Lakers had to replace O'Neal, who was already a little overdrawn. This is also Phil Jackson's helpless move, in fact, in the third quarter, he asked O'Neal to save his physical strength and save it for the final showdown, which is also the reason why the Timberwolves caught up and overtook the score in the third quarter of this game. Cutting tactics 'Phil Jackson has no good way to play this game at all, and in the end he can only use O'Neal like Jordan, that is, during the period when O'Neal was replaced, the Lakers' second team was actually opened up by more than 10 points under the leadership of Kobe, Kobe Bryant was also in the Timberwolves bench player Bowen defense Frequent iron, this game, the most promising guard in the league at present, completely lost himself, the shooting rate is extremely low, and there is no way to provide O'Neal with any help. And O'Neal, who was sitting on the sidelines, could only watch what happened on the court in confusion, because he couldn't stay on the court for 48 minutes, his consumption was extremely high, and it can be said that Zhuang Fei's resolute 'cutting tactics' completely disrupted the Lakers' usual rhythm and rotation. …,

If from a tactical point of view, Zhuang Fei wants to play the Lakers with an unstable foothold, this game is really done, the Lakers were indeed beaten by Zhuang Fei when they did not stabilize their footing, although the score difference between the Timberwolves and the Lakers most of the time in this game is not big, or the Timberwolves are even behind the Lakers, but there is no doubt that Phil Jackson can be said to be completely lost in this game.

In this game, Zhuang Fei's Timberwolves only eliminated one Garnett, while Phil Jackson's Lakers eliminated Kobe Bryant and Szebiak.

O'Neal's dominance is indeed very strong, although the Timberwolves have led by more than ten points before O'Neal comes on the court, but Zhuang Fei has no carelessness for the league's No. 1 center, this is a player who can completely change the game by himself, and after more than six minutes of rest in the fourth quarter, the Lakers center must have recovered a lot.

In fact, the development is also according to Zhuang Fei's expectations, since the center came on the court, the Lakers have once again caught up with the score, and the Timberwolves' lead is constantly being eaten away by this center. The Timberwolves actually had a shaky feeling for a while, you must know that at this time, the Timberwolves can still lead by about ten points.

"Coach, my palms are all sweaty right now"

Seeing O'Neal face the frame again on Garnett, a false shake to break through Garnett, and then kill under the basket to complete the dunk, the assistant coach of the Timberwolves was also taken aback for a while, O'Neal is now preparing to attack the frame when facing Garnett, at this time Garnett's footsteps are almost unsellable, although the Timberwolves inside can still make defensive reactions, but there is no doubt that this flexible big forward in terms of footsteps can no longer compare to this stout center, In fact, O'Neal's footsteps are also in the upper class among all the big centers in the NBA.

Zhuang Fei didn't have the kung fu to pay attention to this assistant of his now. He has been watching the timer on the sidelines now, the significance of this game to the Timberwolves is self-evident, only by winning this game can Zhuang Fei say that he has achieved his tactical intention to drag the hot Lakers down. It's fair to say that this game is the only chance for this series.

Zhuang Fei doesn't think that after this game, when Kobe Bryant adapts to the away environment of the target center, the Lakers guard will be as iron as today's game, and when the time comes, Ao Fat Zhuang Fei, who will be helped by his teammates, will have no way to take him at all. Now, as the game time passes, although the Timberwolves are still leading, the difference between the two sides is also constantly increasing by ten points. Eight, seven, five narrowed, and so did Phil Jackson on the other side.

Although this game is an away game for the Lakers, but for the Lakers, who have beaten the Timberwolves twice, he is very hopeful that he can get off to a good start in this game, and if he can win the normal game, he also believes that the Lakers will take advantage of the trend, and it is even very likely to sweep his old enemy, and then avenge the revenge of being swept last season. But the situation the Lakers faced in this game also made him extremely frightened, and he also knew that this was a game that would determine the trend of this series.

When there was a minute left in the game, the Timberwolves, who had a 10-point difference, were now only 3 points away, but there was only one goal left.

"Neither team seems to be planning to call a timeout right now, are both sides happy with the team's performance, and now the Lakers are chasing points. At this time, the Lakers naturally can't call a timeout, but for the Timberwolves, they have been chased like this now, are they still not ready to pause and adjust? ABC commentator Michaels looked at the two sides on the court and said with some wonder, the Timberwolves performed well throughout the game, but it is obvious that if the Lakers overtake it at the last moment, it will definitely hit the team, and when the game is here, Michaels is also very able to distinguish the difference between the strength of the two teams. The Lakers have an absolute tactical strength, while the Timberwolves don't. In this game, Garnett basically spent all his energy on defense, and his contribution on the offensive end was really limited. …,

At this time, both sides were holding their breath, and no one was willing to take this breath off, which is why Coach Z was reluctant to pause, and now the Timberwolves are still leading by 3 points, and if this goal is scored, Coach Z will call a timeout. It's going to be a life-or-death ball," Magic Johnson also pinched his chin and said, at this time the Lakers pulled away again, and then handed the ball to O'Neal, the center at this time again faced Garnett in the position of the right basket and the waist.

This offense and defense may be the most important duel between the two in this game, at this time Garnett and O'Neal are already out of breath, O'Neal is much better than Garnett, at this time O'Neal can clearly see Garnett's legs are already spinning, the first few frame breakthroughs O'Neal has been occupying an absolute advantage with his own footwork and body squeezing, although O'Neal is not ready to directly confront Garnett's back, but the body side collision in the breakthrough is definitely needed, which is also his strength.

"Hmph, I can't stand it this time, I see that you still dare to come forward and squeeze with me" O'Neal looked at Garnett with some pride, although he himself was tired and about to lie down in this game, but it was also a happy thing to be able to beat the guy in front of him who snatched his MVP trophy, and if he beat Garnett, it would be a complete victory.

Thinking of this, O'Neill did not hesitate at all, and watched Garnett rush over as before, and Garnett, who was already a little shaky, did not hesitate at all and then greeted him.

As everyone expected, O'Neal's breakthrough was extremely simple and rude, and this time O'Neal, who wanted to completely defeat Garnett, almost used his whole body strength to crash into Garnett, and even some Timberwolves fans closed their eyes at this time.

This game was too brutal for them, the boss of their own team was completely devastated by the Lakers' big fat man in this game, and even some fans didn't understand why Garnett kept defending O'Neal, and why didn't let Xiaoao come over to share the burden.

No one cares what the fans are thinking now, O'Neal still broke through at his own pace, and this time he collided with Garnett only to hear Garnett snort and fell down, which was the second time that the Timberwolves interior line fell to the ground after the opening of the game.

"Huh, where's the ball?"

Just when O'Neal thought that he had completely defeated Garnett and was about to dunk directly under the basket, he found that the basketball in his hand was missing, and just when O'Neal was confused, the originally quiet target center suddenly seemed to explode, and the whole audience boiled.

At this time, when O'Neal looked back to see what was going on, he saw that the small forward Paul Pierce of the Timberwolves was already hanging on the Lakers' basket.

"Beautiful, so beautiful, Garnett cut O'Neal when he fell to the ground and threw it directly to the Lakers' backcourt, Pierce seemed to know in advance that Garnett would defend successfully and hit the Lakers' backcourt before O'Neal broke through, this steal and this coordination is really great" ABC commentator Michaels roared loudly, this goal is too significant for this game, this is a goal that determines the outcome of the game, there are still 40s in time, the Lakers are 5 points behind, and the general trend is gone. And Phil Jackson, who was on the side of the court, also squatted on the ground in despair.

"You just fell on purpose?" O'Neill looked at Garnett, who was sitting on the ground in front of him, and said coldly. Garnett, on the other hand, smiled and nodded.

O'Neal, who received Garnett's affirmative reply, gave Garnett a hard look and then turned away, and he lost the game.

In the end, the Timberwolves held on to the victory 111-106 at home. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
