Not long after the start of the game in the third quarter, the Lakers players all felt a strong sense of pressure transmitted from Wudao.

This kind of player who is invincible on the offensive end can often boost the morale of his own players when he is on the court, and by the way, the morale of the opposing players.

Kobe Bryant just threw in a difficult three-point shot, and the martial arts side immediately responded.

This feeling of being pressed and beaten made the Lakers' players feel very uncomfortable.

Between offense and defense, the Lakers quickly organized an offense, and Nick Van Exel, who quickly dribbled the ball into the top of the arc, also wanted to try Kobe Bryant's offensive point.

Approaching the top of the arc, he quickly made a pick-and-roll gesture towards Kobe.

Many of the techniques and tactics on the court are initiated by blocking and dismantling, although the Lakers team has not conducted special tactical drills for Kobe's ball handling, and the team does not have a technical and tactical system tailored for Kobe.

But the people here are all professional players, and everyone knows the most basic tactics.

Seeing the gestures of his teammates, Kobe Bryant also ran quickly in the direction of Nick Van Exel, but just as the Lakers were running on the outside, O'Neal, who had sunk into the low post, suddenly turned his back to Roberts and quickly got in the position.

Seeing this scene, Nick Van Exel didn't care about Kobe Bryant, who was running towards him, and directly hit the ball in the direction of O'Neal.

Marbury was ready to adjust his defense with Wu Dao to deal with Kobe's offense, but it didn't work out, and the opponent actually quickly gave the ball to the inside.

The basketball quickly entered O'Neal's hands, and as soon as the latter took the ball, he quickly blew the ball back and hit it, and then quickly turned around, but at the moment when O'Neal turned around, Garnett quickly wrapped it towards O'Neal's position.

O'Neal, who was about to hit the ball with his feet, was directly saved by Garnett, and Garnett's long arm hit the basketball directly in O'Neal's hand.

"It's so broken!" Wu Dao couldn't help but light up when he saw this scene, and quickly rushed towards the basketball, but at the same time, a figure also snatched out directly from Wu Dao's side, and a leap directly towards the basketball.

“！！”

Kobe Bryant didn't know when he had come to the side of Martial Arts, and when the basketball rebounded on the ground, he realized that he was not as fast as Martial Arts, and Kobe Bryant also gave it a go.

His scramble really created an opportunity for himself, and as Kobe's body fell to the ground, the basketball was also held by Kobe Bryant.

Just as Kobe Bryant was about to throw the ball, Wu Dao's figure suddenly appeared in front of him, holding the basketball directly with both hands, and directly lifting Kobe and the basketball from the ground with the ball.

Seeing that Kobe Bryant was holding the ball and didn't let go, Wu Dao didn't think much about it, and threw it directly and threw Kobe, who was unstable on his feet, out directly.

"Bang!!" Kobe Bryant's body, which was lifted up, fell to the ground again, made a muffled sound, and slid against the floor for a meter or two before slowly stopping.

“！！！”

The referee on the side of the court was already paying attention to the scramble between Wu Dao and Kobe, and he couldn't help but look stunned when he saw that Kobe was actually picked up by Wu Dao with the ball and then thrown out, and then quickly came back to his senses and blew the whistle in the air.

"Beep-"

The hurried whistle sounded, Wu Dao grabbed the ball with both hands, and finally realized something in hindsight, raised it with one hand, grabbed the ball with the other, and looked at Kobe Bryant, who was thrown away.

At this time, Kobe Bryant was sitting on the ground, his face was also full of dazedness, and it was only now that he realized that he seemed to have been thrown away just now?

He is close to two meters tall and nearly two hundred pounds of professional players, and he was actually thrown away?

Kobe raised his head slightly and looked at Wu Dao, who was standing not far away and raised his hand, still in a trance.

Under the basket, Garnett suddenly felt a toothache when he saw the scene of Wu Dao throwing Kobe Bryant, and recalled not very wonderful memories in his mind.

O'Neal, who was standing beside Garnett, couldn't help but look at Martial Arts a few more times when he saw this scene. It wasn't until now that O'Neal realized that the strength of this white and tender yellow man seemed to be a little too strong, not like a yellow man at all, and many No. 3 positions in the NBA do not necessarily have such brute strength.

"I'm sorry!" Wu Dao, who received the foul, walked up to Kobe Bryant and stretched out his hand to Kobe as he spoke.

Looking at the hand handed by Wu Dao, Kobe Bryant was also speechless at this moment, but his strength was not bad, he grabbed Wu Dao's hand with one hand, and quickly stood up from the ground.

The number of fouls on the Timberwolves' side has not accumulated to a certain level, and the Lakers have got the opportunity to serve the sideline ball.

Kobe Bryant didn't have a good chance to give the ball out comfortably under the defense of Wu Dao, so he could only hang a higher ball and give it to Eddie Jones. Eddie Jones is not as tall as Tom Gugliotta, but he moves faster than Tom and bounces better than Tom.

Relying on running, there is still a thrilling hand to hold the ball in his hand.

In the previous Lakers' attacks, Eddie Jones's sense of participation was not strong, and Eddie Jones, who held the ball outside the three-point line, finally got the opportunity to play alone, so naturally he would not let it go. Eddie Jones started quickly after getting the ball, and then a simple early change of direction when Tom chased him up, creating a chance for himself in an instant.

Tom is also an old fritter, and seeing that Eddie Jones was about to break through himself, he directly poked and poked the other party with his body. Eddie Jones suffered some damage to his form, but he managed to make a smooth dash to the mid-range, and saw Garnett's quick stop-and-go jump shot against Garnett's defense.

"Bell~"

With a crisp sound of iron, the basketball also collapsed out of the basket, and Garnett, who was folded back to the basket, rushed to grab the rebound.

"Attack!"

Garnett burst out and threw the ball directly to the frontcourt, and Marbury and Takeshi rushed directly to the frontcourt one after the other.

Takemichi, who jumped up and received the basketball, soon encountered Kobe's defense, and Takemichi, who took the ball, also hesitated, and threw the ball directly to Marbury, who quickly crossed him.

The latter took the ball and rushed towards the Lakers halfcourt.

The young Marbury was full of energy, throwing the pursuing Nick Van Exel two positions away, and the dribbling Marbury quickly smashed under the Lakers' basket and sent the ball into the net with a rebound.

As the courtside scoreboard jumped, the Timberwolves pulled the score away again.

In the game after the third quarter, the Lakers also organized several more effective counterattacks, Kobe's shooting feel is very good, and the running position is also very slippery, with the help of blocking and dismantling, the Lakers can always create opportunities for Kobe to play Marbury in a misplaced position, which makes the Lakers' outside offense much smoother.

Compared with Kobe's ease, O'Neal on the inside is more uncomfortable, Garnett completely let go of Elden Campbell on the defensive end, and completely put the focus of defense on O'Neal.

Although Elden Campbell has repeated opportunities, Eddie Jones and Kobe, who have more balls, basically do not pass to him, and often attack on the outside.

These two outside players of the Lakers seem to be competing with each other.

The Lakers' offense is only "half of the country".

On the other hand, on the Timberwolves' side, under the transfer of martial arts, Garnett often pulls to the high post to cover, Elden Campbell's footsteps are not as fast as Garnett, and it is not easy for Garnett to keep up with Garnett's footsteps when Garnett goes to cover on the outside.

At the same time, Garnett still has a certain ability to hold the ball, if Garnett is against the kind of person who is very good at defense, his high position basket ability may be almost meaningless, but against Elden Campbell, who has a slower lateral speed, Garnett's outside skills are completely dimensional.

In the second half of the third quarter, Wudao began to give a lot of opportunities to Garnett and others, except for Roberts, who was locked by O'Neal on the inside, the Timberwolves bloomed more.

At the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves led the opponent by 12 points at 36:24 in the first quarter.

The overall offensive efficiency of the Timberwolves surprised the audience.

Martial Arts scored 21 points in a single game, and it was another section where the score exploded.

Although Kobe Bryant tried his best to interfere with Wudao, and even secretly poked and pulled Wudao's clothes when defending, he still failed to stop Wudao from continuing to score.

The game played to this extent, and the Lakers completely gave up hope of winning, and replaced the bench players early in the fourth quarter, and the same was true for the Timberwolves, replacing Wu Dao and others, and replacing a group of bench players led by Chris Kyle.

The center was replaced by Cherokee Parkes and let him play with a bench lineup.

After the third section of martial arts, he clocked in and out of work smoothly.

In this game, he still continued his hot hand, scoring 54 points, 6 boards, 8 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the third quarter of the game.

Garnett's side.

Although Wu Dao often gave him opportunities, he only played three quarters, with a total of 21 points, 11 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals.

Although it was a very explosive statistic, O'Neal scored 26 points, 14 rebounds, and 2 blocks.

In terms of scoring statistics, Garnett has not been able to surpass O'Neal.

On the sidelines, Garnett and the team's analysts gathered together to look at the stats of the game.

Knowing that his scoring and rebounding did not surpass O'Neal, and knowing that Wudao's score was actually 50+, his face suddenly became extremely exciting.

After sitting back on the bench, he came to the front of Wu Dao with his notebook, and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Hey! Martial arts, you guy, look, my data is not as good as O'Neill! ”

"What did you say before? It must have made my stats better than O'Neill's. ”

"You're lying! I'm not going to cover for you again! ”

"You bastard ate so much of the ball, you won't share it with me at all!"

When Garnett spoke, Martial Dao's eyes looked at the court, and when he heard this, Martial Arts just glanced at Garnett and asked with a smile:

"The analyst should have recorded all the games, right?"

"What percentage of shots did you shoot?"

Hearing Wu Dao ask, Garnett looked stunned, lowered his head and rummaged, and then replied with a smile: "9 of 18 in the offense, all layup shots are counted, there is a shooting rate of about 50%, 3 of 4 free throws, and a 75% shooting rate." ”

"It's not bad, in the No. 4 position, my attacking efficiency is already very good, that's what Maxim told me."

Maxim, is the name of the Timberwolves team analyst.

"Where's my hit rate?"

Hearing Wu Dao ask this, Garnett's expression was immediately stunned, although he didn't turn over the book in his hand, but in his impression, Wu Dao's offensive efficiency seemed to be very exaggerated.

"15-of-21, 6-of-6 free throws, 6-of-9 three-pointers"

"Hit rate words"

Speaking of which, Garnett realized what Takemichi was going to say.

"I'm just shooting a few more three-pointers than you, right?"

"You can't say that I have a lot of ball."

"If you could have the same hit rate as mine, would your stats be uglier than O'Neal's?"

"Kevin, you're going to have to find a problem with yourself!"

"Don't look for the cause of a problem from someone else."

Wu Dao said, slowly turned his head, and said to Garnett with a smile.

Hearing this, Garnett also choked in his throat, and suddenly couldn't say anything. Garnett knows that martial arts is very, because in today's ball games, most of the games between teams, I am afraid that all the offensive rounds of a team are less than 100 rounds.

Whether it is the number of shots under the basket or from the outside, there are 100 shots, and the rhythm of this game is already very fast. It's completely different from today's 120 and 130 shots.

Martial arts alone, in the third quarter, accounted for nearly 30 shots of the team, that is, almost half of the number of shots, except for Garnett, who had more balls today, Marbury, Tom and Roberts on the inside line did not add up to more martial arts.

Wu Dao said that he didn't eat the ball, it was completely lying.

But Garnett had to admit that what Wu Dao said was not wrong, because Wu Dao's offensive efficiency was really much higher than his.

The data is in his hands, and Garnett really doesn't have anything to say.

Sensing Garnett's silence, Wu Dao smiled and said, "You still have to practice." ”

Hearing this, Garnett couldn't help but glance at Martial Dao, and moved his ass to distance himself from Martial Dao.

In the fourth quarter of the game between the Timberwolves and the Lakers, the Lakers' bench lineup formed a crushing posture against the bench lineup on the Timberwolves' side.

Kobe Bryant was not substituted by the Lakers, he was a member of the bench lineup, and in the absence of Eddie Jones and O'Neal, Kobe monopolized a lot of the team's ball possession, and attacked the Timberwolves under the basket as if venting.

In the face of Kobe, the old and frail Sam Mitchell on the Timberwolves' side also struggled to defend, and at the same time, he was frequently interfered with by the dexterous Kobe Bryant when he attacked.

Fortunately, Chris Kyle played well, so that the Timberwolves would not play too ugly in the fourth quarter.

At 21:34, the Timberwolves were completely crushed by the Lakers in the fourth quarter.

It's just that this point difference is really insignificant compared to the points accumulated by the Lakers in the previous three quarters.

In the end, the Timberwolves won the game with a 124-112 lead over their opponents.

The Lakers, who won 9 in a row, were ended by the Timberwolves.
