Robert Horry missed his shot, and the rebound was controlled by the Timberwolves, who easily defended the round, and quickly launched a counterattack.

The basketball was quickly transmitted to Marbury's hands, who took the ball and quickly pushed back, intending to hit the Lakers to chase back and counterattack, and beat the Lakers to gain an unstable foothold!

It's just that the Lakers have played a lot of games with the Timberwolves, and they know very well that what the Timberwolves are best at is playing defensive counterattacks, so in fact, while Robert's shooting is inaccurate, the outermost guard has taken a few steps back in front of the body.

When the Timberwolves launched a counterattack, the Lakers' players, except for O'Neal, had already returned to their own half-court defense at the first time.

Even a center of tonnage like O'Neal is quite fast to return to defense, not much slower than the Timberwolves' counterattack.

Very good defense

The Lakers are worthy of being one of the top teams in the league at the moment, and the speed of offensive and defensive transitions is very fast, and they can well resist the Timberwolves' chasing counterattack.

Marbury saw that the opportunity was not very good, and it was not a small risk if he landed the ball and killed him, so after a moment of thought, he decisively slowed down the pace and changed the position.

After all the Timberwolves players entered the Lakers half, Marbury dribbled for a few seconds, giving his teammates a brief time to adjust, and then quickly gave the ball to the side of the martial arts under the watchful eyes of the opponent.

And as the basketball came to the hands of Wu Dao, the eyes of several players of the Lakers were focused on Wu Dao at this moment, and O'Neal, who was guarding the inside line, gave up the position under the basket, but raised his position slightly, cutting off the Timberwolves' internal and external connection At the same time, he was also faintly vigilant, ready to make up for the advance of Wu Dao at any time.

With just a simple position adjustment, the Lakers put a lot of defensive pressure on Wudao in this way.

Directly opposite Takeshi was Rick Fox, on the same flank, and Robert Horry, who faintly let go of Wallace and pulled to the middle distance of the flank. At the top of the arc, it's Marbury and Fisher, and on the left flank, it's Tom and his opponent Eddie Jones.

The Lakers' defensive focus is on the strong side, which is where Budo is on the right wing at this time.

After a quick look at the Lakers' defensive arrangement, Wu Dao knew that the opponent's defense was aimed at himself.

With a high center of gravity and continuous crotch dribbling, Wu Dao silently observed the opponent's defense, did not shoot the ball, and did not rush to attack.

The Timberwolves' players seemed to sense Takemi's intentions, and Garnett on the inside moved along the baseline to the bottom right corner and stopped at a mid-range position close to the baseline.

Robert Horry, who was slightly higher, glanced at it one after another, but did not stick to it, but just relied on standing and stuck in the passing route, beware of the advance of the martial arts.

On the other side, Wallace didn't pull as far as Garnett, he just retreated to the corner of the paint area on the left, making some room on the inside.

As for Marbury, who was originally at the top of the arc, he was much more sensible, directly dragging Fisher's defense and sinking outside the three-point line in the bottom left corner, and it seemed that he didn't want to participate in the offense at all.

Everyone in the Timberwolves stopped, and no one was running around.

And the martial arts on the flanks finally made a move after holding the ball for five or six seconds.

The center of gravity is rapidly reduced, the left hand grabs the ball lightly, and the basketball comes directly to the right hand of the martial arts, and at the same time as the dribble changes direction, the left foot of the martial arts quickly steps out towards the right front, starting the breakthrough.

His speed didn't seem to be fast, Rick Fox was able to keep up with Martial Dao's movements and follow up with a quick sliding step, but as soon as his body moved, he was directly pushed to the chest by Martial Dao's sideways.

It didn't look like a sharp breakthrough, and the moment his body was close to Rick Fox, he was breathless, his steps were weak, and he took a step back and gave up his position.

Quickly passed by Rick Fox's side, and the defense on the Lakers' side was directly activated by the breakthrough of the martial arts.

Robert Horry was very decisive, directly lifted up, and rushed towards the martial arts, and Rick Fox, who had just been pushed away by the martial arts, also quickly adjusted his posture, chased back, and instantly formed a trap with his teammates.

Wudao is still in a high position, and he has already been treated by the Lakers.

Rick Fox and Robert Horry are both of good height, not that old, and their athleticism is quite outstanding, and the two play together, which really puts a lot of defensive pressure on the martial arts.

However, in the face of the defense of the two people, Wu Dao looked indifferent, and after crossing the three points, he took two quick steps, and then directly made a sharp stop, and jumped back after closing the ball.

Takemi's movements obviously also aroused the alarm of Rick Fox and Robert Horry, Takemi's excellent height, terrifying bounce, and back-to-back jumper, the two of them could not hesitate at all when jumping, otherwise, it would be impossible to complete the block.

The three of them jumped one after another.

However, after the martial arts in mid-air aroused the two of them to jump, his posture changed rapidly in the air, his hands quickly pressed down, and then passed the ball from Robert Horry's side.

“！！！”

Robert Horry's reaction speed was actually not slow, and his raised arm quickly hit the direction where the basketball flew out, but it was directly missed, and it was too late at all.

The basketball flew to Garnett, who received the ball and adjusted on the spot to make a quick jumper.

"Huh!"

Garnett's projection skills are excellent, not to mention that the Lakers' defensive strength is all involved in martial arts, and no one can interfere with him at all, and the basketball throws and falls directly into the Nets with a crisp sound.

"Smack!!

Garnett, who scored easily, swung his fist, quickly stepped back to defense, and high-fived Takeshi when he staggered past him.

The huge force slapped the palm of Martial Dao's hand painfully.

Wu Dao glanced at Garnett a little speechlessly.

I have to say that Garnett is too enthusiastic when he plays, such a player can rely on emotions to drive the morale of the whole team, if martial arts is the team's well-deserved boss and leader, then Garnett is the most important pillar of the team.

In the middle of the court, the Lakers began to counterattack, and Fisher received the ball in the backcourt and quickly advanced to the Timberwolves halfcourt.

The Lakers still want to try to play O'Neal this round, and after Fisher entered the frontcourt, his eyes kept sweeping to O'Neal, but to their disappointment, Wallace didn't stupidly push O'Neal's back behind this time to defend O'Neal.

Instead, Ben leaned sideways against O'Neal, the left half of his body almost fell to O'Neal's side, and his arm was also blocking O'Neill's sight of Fisher, and the operation was very insidious.

Similar to this kind of defense, O'Neal has not encountered many times in his career, and O'Neal also has ways to deal with it.

I saw O'Neal straighten up slightly, and after pushing Wallace hard, he quickly turned around in the direction of the bottom line, and directly opened Wallace and entered the basket.

Fisher spotted O'Neal's movements, realized that O'Neal had an opportunity, and quickly hoisted the ball towards O'Neal.

However, he had just made a pass, and Garnett on the right side seemed to have expected it, and directly let go of Robert Horry, quickly stopped in front of O'Neal, jumped high and took the ball out of the air and pinched it in his hand.

Behind Garnett, O'Neal jumped to the ground, looked at Garnett, who appeared in front of him and intercepted the basketball, was speechless for a while, and quickly raised his steps and ran towards the front court.

On the way back to defense, O'Neill couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart.

The Timberwolves' two defenses are a little too good in rotation.

Everything about the Lakers seems to be expected by the Timberwolves.

O'Neal vaguely felt that he seemed to be being targeted by the Timberwolves!

The Timberwolves failed to push the counterattack again, not that the Timberwolves have no chance to counterattack at all, in fact, if Marbury wants to be strong, there is also a chance to score the ball quickly.

It's just that Marbury doesn't feel the need.

They have the league's first-class offensive core in their team, and this is not a crisis moment, they are completely able to play steadily and use absolute strength to run over the Lakers' heads!

The Timberwolves players entered the frontcourt one after another, and the basketball was once again in the hands of Wu Dao.

This time, Bumichi, who was holding the ball, didn't want to play alone, and after Marbury sank into the bottom left corner, Budo made a block gesture to Tom to the side.

Tom set up a pick-and-roll on the right side of Rick Fox, and Takeshi shifted two steps toward the top of the arc, forcing the Lakers to rotate defensively.

Eddie Jones switched to the front of Takemi, facing the No. 2 position with a height of "only" 198cm and a weight of "only" 86kg, Takedo dropped the ball with his left hand and quickly accelerated to break through.

Ran directly over Eddie Jones, marched to the free throw line, and then didn't see any superfluous movements from the martial arts, a joint ball and step, giving Eddie Jones a physical confrontation, after flying the opponent a few steps, a light jump shot, directly threw the basketball in his hand.

The basketball flew directly over Eddie Jones's head and landed safely into the hoop.

As the basketball swept into the net, there were bursts of cheers in the stands.

"The feeling of playing martial arts is a little different from before."

On the side of the court, in the Lakers' rest area, Kobe Bryant, wearing a jersey, clenched his fists with his hands on his chin, paying close attention to what was happening on the court.

Seeing Wu Dao score so easily this time, Kobe couldn't help frowning slightly, and said secretly in his heart.

The feeling of martial arts playing is different from before, Kobe Bryant used to watch martial arts play, and he could clearly feel the sense of oppression brought by absolute talent from martial arts, it was an indescribable feeling, when standing in front of martial arts, Kobe Bryant could clearly feel the strength of the opponent, but Kobe Bryant would not feel frustrated after the disadvantage.

He felt that he couldn't beat martial arts, just because his physical talent was slightly worse than his opponent's, and if he also had that kind of height and reach, Kobe Bryant was confident that he wouldn't lose.

Just now

Kobe Bryant can't feel the same feeling before in Wudao's body.

Looking at watching martial arts play, Kobe Bryant felt that he was very calm, accurate, and relaxed.

is against the martial arts, it should be unstoppable or unstoppable, but the style of the martial arts seems to be a little less aggressive.

That kind of temperament, that kind of ball style. Very similar to Michael Jordan.

Calm, able to play calmly on the NBA court, able to play calmly from the head of Eddie Jones at the All-Star level

Kobe Bryant's eyes were fixed on the martial arts in the court, and his fist-clenched hands were faintly white because of the force.

"It's getting stronger again. He's getting stronger again. ”

"It's maturing so fast."

In the middle of the court, O'Neill ran towards the front, his eyes falling on the back of the martial arts in front of him. Although he is not a player who is directly opposite to the martial arts, a player of his level looks at players very, very accurately.

O'Neill clearly recognized that martial arts had improved again.

If he hadn't clearly known that the guy in front of him was a yellow man, O'Neal would have thought he was competing with young Jordan.

It was definitely a scene that no one wanted to face.

In the Lakers' offensive round, O'Neal quickly put away his crankiness and focused on the court.

is still in the low post, and the defense O'Neal faces is still the same half-winding defensive style that Ben Wallace has around the front.

It only takes one turn to get past your opponent, but.

O'Neill tilted his head slightly, glanced at Garnett, who was looking at him from time to time not far behind him, and couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

At the top of the arc, Fisher gave the ball to Eddie Jones on the wing.

He can see that the Timberwolves will not give him a chance to get inside from the top of the arc.

Attacking from the flanks may be the best solution to the Lakers' dilemma right now.

Eddie Jones took the ball, raised the ball above his head with both hands, and feigned to pass, while O'Neal on the inside saw that the basketball had shifted, and he quickly changed his position with the basket, suppressing Wallace behind him with his body, so as not to let the opponent affect his own reception.

Don't look at O'Neal's "fat boy" as a clumsy look, but this guy is very flexible, and the scary thing is that O'Neal's skills are quite delicate, and the skills in the key positions are enough for many league centers to record videos and learn from each other.

Wallace was not as physically as good as O'Neill, and he was not "successful" in terms of technology, so he was easily stuck behind O'Neill, and Eddie Jones also saw the opportunity, closed his hand, and passed the ball to O'Neal's hands.

When basketball started, the expression on O'Neal's face obviously changed a little, and compared with before, he is already excited!

Blowing up the ball with one hand, his body slammed Wallace's body, and then before Tom's bag came up, he quickly turned around, and in the near basket position, a small hook hand wanted to send the ball out.

However, as soon as the basketball was raised, a big hand flashed directly.

"Smack!!

Wallace's palm slapped O'Neal's forearm fiercely, and O'Neal, who grabbed the ball, couldn't help but let go of his hand, although the basketball was thrown in time, but there was no accuracy at all.

The basketball smashed into the frame and jumped out of the basket, and at the same time, the referee on the baseline also blew the whistle.

Without any objections, Wallace fouled and O'Neal was sent to the free throw line.

O'Neal, who had successfully created the kill, didn't have any smile on his face at all, stood at the free throw line, received the referee's basketball, dribbled on the spot, and raised the shot.

The Timberwolves players on both sides looked at O'Neal inexplicably, their faces were flat, and there was even some ridicule.

The ability to shoot free throws with a career shooting percentage of about 50, this free throw is almost the same as a step-back jumper in the blacksmith's inefficient area, will you be afraid......

Timberwolves players aren't afraid anyway

"Bell~"
