Chapter 112: A Bad Start
The Timberwolves took the lead in grabbing the ball, and Rose, who received the ball, quickly advanced to the frontcourt.
Hit directly against Bauer's defense.
Smack.
Basketball into the basket.
Timberwolves fans cheered instantly.
It was on the Lakers' home court, and the first shot would have been scored by the Timberwolves.
This is obviously somewhat disadvantageous.
The Timberwolves have a slight advantage over the Lakers in terms of momentum.
Wiggins and Rose high-fived.
They exchanged glances and smiled at each other.
Downs was also excited.
"The Lakers' players aren't very good... They're not particularly difficult..."
The Timberwolves didn't seem to be afraid of the Lakers, and even had a hint of disdain in their eyes.
Immediately followed by the Lakers' offense.
After Ball passed the ball to Subei, Subei received the ball and threw a shot from beyond the three-point line.
Bang.
Didn't throw it in.
Su Bei shook his head slightly, pursed his lips, and there was some unwillingness in his eyes.
It doesn't feel good, and you need to adjust your own state...
Bauer, who was beside him, saw Su Bei's somewhat lost expression, and comforted: "It's okay, Su Bei, just two more throws!" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Su Bei nodded in response. ,
I didn't care about a three-point shot, but I didn't give the Timberwolves a response, which was really unpleasant.
The Timberwolves reacted quickly as Rose brought the ball to the frontcourt.
Downs went up and blocked a demolition for Rose.
Seeing this opportunity, Rose went straight to the free throw line and made a mid-range shot.
Smack.
Basketball is in the frame again.
Surprise flashed in the fans' eyes, and Rose felt ...... Yes!
The Timberwolves scored four points.
That's all points Ross gets alone.
Live room...
Yang Yi looked at the game on the field, a little dumbfounded.
He didn't expect Rose to have such a big outburst this time.
"Rose has a good hand this time, and the Lakers haven't played yet, and they still haven't scored a point, which is obviously a little bad for the Lakers."
"It's a pity that I haven't seen Rose's lever now, he was really powerful back then, and his physical fitness was particularly explosive......"
Hovering in the air, pulling the lever left and right......
Thinking about the 10-11 season, Rose won the MVP by himself.
Who knows that aphrodisiac can be a parallel import, but MVP will definitely not ......
It can be seen how strong the strength is.
If it weren't for the first round of the playoffs that year, Rose would have faced the 76ers...
That time the anterior cruciate ligament tear in the left knee, the pain kept finding Rose...
It was a great pain for Rose, but at one point it made him want to retire......
In the end, I persevered.
......
On the field...
With a breakthrough layup in Subei, the Lakers broke the scoring drought.
Finally got two points.
But the Timberwolves don't really care, and now they have scored 10 points.
The score of both teams is 10-2.
The Lakers are now eight points behind, so Coach Wharton next to him can't help but be a little worried.
What the hell is going on?
This is still the home court of the Lakers, and with less than five minutes to go in the first quarter, they will fall behind by eight points.
Coach Wharton always felt that it was not a good day to go out.
Get off the wrong foot......
You have to play at this pace, and after the first quarter, the difference may be in double digits.
Coach Wharton shook his head.
The Timberwolves scored two more points, and the difference was instantly ten points.
Coach Wharton's heart beat faster, and he couldn't stand it......
Then a timeout was called.
After Subei and Bauer returned to the bench, their faces were full of loss.
They couldn't imagine that this was their beginning.
Even though they had put their defense in place, they were still broken by the Timberwolves players.
Especially that Rose.
Although not very fast in terms of speed, he plays very rhythmically.
And he can also mobilize and organize other players to score......
This made Su Bei's face a little unsightly, if this was the case again, they would have been completely beaten by the Timberwolves before the first half of the game.
Coach Wharton looked at them and said in a deep voice.
"What are you fighting for?"
"It's rubbish, and the dogs are better than you."
"McGee, why don't you go and ask for the ball in the low post now? Have you always wanted to shoot? ”
Coach Wharton looked at McGee, even though he was very unhappy with McGee's style of play.
Because McGee is a center, he has to go to the basket to grab rebounds or go to the low post to single.
If McGee had shot from inside the three-point line, the Lakers would have no rebounding advantage.
The lack of rebounding means that they don't have a secondary offense.
That's not what Coach Wharton wants.
He wants an all-around center, not a center who can only shoot and not grab rebounds.
McGee was even more stunned by his question, and could only keep nodding his head.
"Gotta grab the rebounds and defend that Towns."
"You can't let that guy score inside, and Kuzma, and you've got to defend Wiggins as well."
"This Timberwolves team is built around the three of them, Rose, Towns and Wiggins, don't guard these three guys, there's nothing wrong with this game."
Coach Wharton even pointed out the weakness of the Timberwolves and had to take the three of them down.
"Uh-huh..."
Everyone nodded, and they also understood what Coach Wharton said.
On the other side, the head coach of the Timberwolves, looked at Russia and them.
Although they are now 10 points apart, the head coach of the Timberwolves is not happy.
"You're going to try to keep that pace now, Rose, and you're going to give them a lot of pressure defensively."
"First we made them mentally unbearable, and then we were seizing the opportunity to widen the gap again."
"Wiggins and Towns, you two try to get as much ball as possible, the Lakers' interior line is not as good as yours, you must hit them hard for me..."
The Timberwolves head coach didn't actually expect to lead by 10 points before the end of the first quarter.
Everyone knows that it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country.
If they can keep this 10-point gap and wait until the final fourth quarter, then the Timberwolves will definitely be able to win this game.
When he saw that the interior was not very strong, he knew that the Lakers' roster was not very complete.
If James hadn't been injured now, it would have been difficult for Wiggins and Towns to blow up the entire Lakers' interior line.
But he's already injured, and opportunities often come so quickly, can the Timberwolves grasp it?
The Timberwolves head coach was secretly determined to win this game.
