Chapter 244: Mighty Wade, Strongest Defense and Collapsed Timberwolves!
Staples Arena.
At this time, the Lakers fans, who had been held back for almost a whole quarter, finally burst into unbelievable cheers and applause, and finally took back the initiative of Staples under the waving arm of Coach D.
Wade's attack just now was so beautiful!
So beautiful that even the Timberwolves fans on the scene are still dumbfounded.
Isn't Wade reluctant to play for Coach D?
Why did Wade suddenly burst out with this kind of combat power that only had at the peak?
Did Wade even have such combat power at his peak?
It's just hard to understand, okay or not!
At this time, the huge cheers and applause that erupted from the Lakers fans made the commentary on the scene equally incomprehensible, and the experts in front of the TV who had just complained on Twitter and social media that Coach D had not replaced Wade were all confused at this time.
Is Coach D superstitious about Wade's performance in the Finals over the past two years?
No, Coach D this is not a superstition!
Coach D: I really believe that Wade still has oil in his mailbox!
After this year's finals, the world felt that Wade was scrapped.
Even James already felt that Wade was useless, so he directly abandoned Wade.
And Coach D, he really believes that Wade is okay, and Wade seems to be really okay!
"Could it be that Wade was always injured because of bad luck in the past, and the good luck that Coach D's two Chinese knots brought to Wade, such a breakthrough didn't hurt him?!"
"Is this the magic of Coach D, this is the magic of Coach D!"
With Wade's explosive breakthrough, the atmosphere on the scene has changed significantly.
But the score on the court was still 12-29, and the Los Angeles Lakers trailed by 17 points with 55 seconds left in the first quarter.
The game continued.
The Timberwolves attacked Sanders this time and signaled Rubio to take control of the ball himself.
Now that the Lakers are gaining momentum, the Timberwolves need to be steady.
But on the other side, Du Kang on the sidelines pressed his hands forward, and almost at the same time, all the Lakers players on the court moved.
Antetokounmpo, Ibanks, Covington, Wade and McCarvey.
The five Lakers players on the court quickly pasted the Timberwolves players.
"The Lakers started the full-court pressing in the last minute of the first quarter!!"
"Coach D's offensive tactics in this game have no system, but the Lakers' defensive system is very tacit and very aggressive!!"
Antetokounmpo and Ibanks, Covington and McCarvey, all four of whom were teammates of the Lakers last season, have a very good understanding.
And Wade, his single defense ability is absolutely top-notch, especially this kind of aggressive defense, when he was in the Heat, Wade's defensive aggressiveness was one of the best in the league.
With new Lakers players like Jokic and Garnett Pierce off the floor, the Lakers can finally play the full-court tight defensive system of last season's playoffs and the Spurs.
The previous Lakers have always been regular offense and regular defense, as if to let the players get to know each other better.
"Now, the Lakers are finally serious!!"
On the side of the court, the on-site DJ of the Lakers team has already shouted excitedly!
On the court, in the face of McCarvey and the Lakers' very strong full-court pressing, Rubio's possession can be described as shaky.
However, Rubio still relied on the constant cover and help of his teammates to keep the ball firmly in his hands.
However, such constant cover made the defensive formation on the field completely chaotic.
At this time, the defender in front of Rubio was no longer McCarvey, but Wade.
Against Wade, Rubio didn't seek cover with his teammates as he did against McCarvey.
Wade is different from McCarvey, McCarvey is fierce, but his defensive skills and awareness are not the same as Wade's.
In the face of Wade, letting his teammates cover, it is likely to cause a bag, and he will have a hard time getting the ball out in the end.
Thinking about the damage that James and Wade did to Rose with the Heat, Rubio doesn't think he is better on the ball than Rose.
So Rubio made a very safe choice.
After a one-on-one tie to Wade, Rubio leaned his back against Wade and was about to cross the ball to Wiggins on the right.
"I saw it! Wiggins is now the owner of McCarvey!! β
Rubio's cross looks extremely hidden, and judging from the power of his wrist, the speed is extremely fast, plus he leaned on Wade in advance, so Rubio's cross is definitely not one dangerous cross in the ordinary sense.
On the contrary, it is a very good quality one.
It's a pass that is theoretically impossible to miss!
So the moment Rubio passed the basketball in his hand, Webber, who had been praising Rubio since the start of the game, was still praising Rubio's ball quotient.
At the same time, the head coach of the Timberwolves, Saunders, was also applauding on the sidelines.
Worthy of Kidd Jr., worthy of being the top passing master candidate in the future league!
For a moment, Saunders glanced at Dukang with smug smug on his face.
Coach D, you dare to press the Timberwolves all over the court, now let's see how Wiggins swallowed McCarvey!
The moment Rubio leaned against Wade and passed the basketball in his hand, the smile on Sanders' face seemed to have started to celebrate, and almost instantly!
The smile on Sanders' face froze!
Because, Wade, who was stuck behind Rubio, suddenly jumped out from behind, stretched out his hand, and cut off the basketball that quickly left Rubio's hand!
Looking at Wade, who had already escaped, Rubio was stupid!
And those Timberwolves fans on the sidelines who were ready to cheer, the excitement on their faces at this time was also frozen!
Wade seemed to have already judged that Rubio would pass the ball to Wiggins!
And almost an instant later, Staples, who had been suddenly silent, once again let out an earth-shattering cheer!
Because Wade was like a yellow light swishing and rushed to the Timberwolves' basket!
There simply isn't any Timberwolves player who can stop him!
Because just now the Timberwolves players are on offense.
Because the Timberwolves players didn't expect Rubio to make such a mistake at all!
Other than that, Wade's speed is just too fast!!
"Steal!! Dwyane Wade steals Rubio's pass!!! Oh my God!!! Dwyanwade was like a bolt of lightning, a yellow bolt of lightning that pierced the night sky of Staples!!! β
βBangοΌοΌοΌοΌ Dwyan!! Wade!!!! Slam dunk!!!! β
The DJ of the live Lakers, who was already excited, roared loudly like crazy at this time.
On the other side, at this time, the commentary seat at the scene, Mr. Zhang Lili, who had also been suppressed for a long time, was also shouting passionately.
"Wade steals Rubio! Coach Xiao Du's full-court pressing has worked! Dwyane Wade's energy on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is a perfect fit for the current Lakers! Coach Xiao Du's substitution with Wade is not a mediocre move, but a stroke of genius!! β
"Slam dunk! Wade dunked!! 360-degree windmill dunk !! Oh my God, Wade got !! β
"14 to 29! The Los Angeles Lakers are now trailing by just 15 points!! β
The originally dead Staples was completely ignited at this time.
In just two rounds, the situation of the game has changed so rapidly, and the commentary on the sidelines is incomprehensible to the experts in front of the TV and those Celtic fans on the Internet, unimaginable!
On the court, the young Timberwolves players have clearly seen some changes in their mentality.
"Steal! The Lakers have another steal! Or Wade!! Oh my God, Wade bumped into Rubio and snatched this baseline serve from Rubio's hand!! β
Wade once again steals Rubio, and the Lakers fans on the scene seem to have fallen into madness at this time!
And Wade, who stealed Rubio, immediately rushed to the basket, and almost at the same time, all the Timberwolves players subconsciously contracted.
And Wade, who came to the basket with the ball and fell into a heavy siege, jumped high!
But Wade didn't attack on his own, but chose to pass!
Wade threw the basketball out of his hand, and the basketball came to Ibanks' hand without any spin.
Ibanks didn't even need to adjust, and threw the basketball out of the empty space at the top of the arc!
Brush it up!
Three-point hit!
Ebanks hit the Lakers' first three-pointer of the game!
17 to 29!
There are even 40 seconds left in the game!
In less than 30 seconds, the Lakers magically caught up with 7 points!
The original difference between the two teams was 19 points, but in an instant, there were only 12 points left!
Almost at the same time that Ibanks hit this three-pointer, the cameras on the scene were once again aimed at Dukang.
At this time, the camera at the scene very accurately captured the expression on the face of Aunt Jenny next to Du Kang.
At this time, Aunt Jenny looked at Du Kang dumbfounded, and Du Kang applauded calmly, as if all this was what he expected!
On the other side, Timberwolves head coach Saunders is very uncomfortable right now.
The official timeout for the first quarter has run out, is it time to waste a timeout to get the players to adjust their mentality?
Sanders almost hesitated.
On the court, the Lakers broke the ball again!
This time it wasn't Wade who continued to break Rubio.
This time, after Rubio received the ball, as soon as Wade posted it, Rubio didn't dare to stick to the ball at all, and immediately passed the basketball in his hand to Wiggins, but Wiggins didn't jam McCarvey at all.
Therefore, McCarvey, who was suppressed by Wiggins for a whole quarter in the entire first quarter, finally has the opportunity to play to his strengths and strengths!
"I'm the player who swiped a steal quadruple-double on James in his first rookie game!"
"Don't underestimate me!"
McCarvey's steal made James in front of the TV think of a lot of not very friendly pictures.
At this time, the expression on James's face was unbelievable.
Conceding a ball in this place would be an absolute nightmare for the Timberwolves.
Fortunately, Wiggins' reaction was also fast enough, and after being tackled by McCarvey, Wiggins quickly returned to follow McCarvey.
McCarvey could certainly feel that he was still being covered by Wiggins.
However, Wiggins had no intention of attacking on his own at all!
"Dwyan!"
McCarvey shouted!
Wade, who was originally parallel to Rubio, broke out in an instant!
Looking at Wade who suddenly rushed out, Rubio was very desperate!
He's been working very hard defensively!
But the formation is out of order!
His speed just can't keep up with Wade!
In the end, Rubio could only watch Wade rush out, receive a pass from McCarvey, and once again complete a powerful one-handed dunk!
Bang!
19 to 29!
The Timberwolves fans and Lakers fans at the scene were all stupid at this time!
The Lakers' oppression of the Timberwolves continues!
And once again the oppression succeeded!
"Oh my God!!"
"The difference between the Lakers and the Timberwolves is only 10 points!!
"Timberwolves ask for a timeout, Sanders asks for a timeout!!!"
The game went into a pause, and the whole of Staples had turned into a sea of joy for the Lakers.
And on the bench for the Timberwolves.
At this time, Timberwolves head coach Philip Sanders did not say anything tactical, and now Sanders keeps emphasizing only one thing, that is!
"Calm down! Calm down, lads! Calm down! Calm down! β
"Now it's us who are leading the race, slow down, it's okay, we can protect ourselves!"
"Children, don't worry, there is no problem with your strength!"
After the Timberwolves' head coach Philip Sanders gave the Timberwolves players a mental massage.
The young Timberwolves players, who were originally flustered, finally calmed down a little.
They were really almost swept away by the Lakers.
The Lakers' offense this season has been temporarily fragmented.
Offense needs a core, and the Lakers don't have an offensive core for the time being, so naturally there will be no offensive tactical system.
But the Lakers' defensive system has always been there.
The Lakers' playoffs last season and the Spurs' G7, which was a full-court tight game from the beginning to the end of the game, is considered the most brutal game in NBA history!
In that game, most of those cruel Lakers players were still in the Lakers at this time, and they were even on the court!
McCarvey, Ibanks, Antetokounmpo, Covington, they're all part of that brutal Lakers!
Where have these young men of the Timberwolves seen this!
After the game restarted, the Timberwolves slowed down significantly.
But!
Is it okay to be slow?
The Timberwolves managed to dribble the ball through the half.
At this point, he almost had a backcourt eight-second violation.
After halftime, the Timberwolves need to organize the offense.
But the Timberwolves couldn't organize the offense at all.
Rubio, Wiggins and LaVine Harris Barnes were constantly running, receiving, passing.
For these four young players, they can last more than ten seconds without making mistakes, and in the case of full-court pressing, they can finally find offensive opportunities and hit the basket.
This is actually very good!
But LaVine, who stumbled under the basket, wanted to force a dunk!
But this time, Antetokounmpo nailed the basketball to the rebound!
It's a pegboard hat!
After Antetokounmpo completed this defense, he hit the basketball in his hand directly to the frontcourt!
And the one who runs in front is!
"Wade !!"
"Oh my God!! Wade is still running!! β
Wade went to play like this, and he didn't get injured yet!!
Are those two Chinese knots of Coach D really that lucky?!
If you change it to the Heat, change it to the Knicks, Wade dares to play like this, it must have exploded directly!
And now, Wade can still have a fast attack!
Bang!
Wade's counterattack dunk turned the difference between the two teams into 8 points!
21 to 29!
In the past 1 minute, the Lakers played a wave of 11-0 climax!
There were 10 seconds left in the final quarter of the first quarter.
At this time, even a blind person can feel the young players of the Timberwolves on the court, and their mood and momentum have completely changed at this time!
Panic!
The Timberwolves players on the court are really panicked!
Even more flustered than before the Timberwolves took a timeout!
At this time, Bogut, who was serving the baseline ball of the Timberwolves, was roaring, hoping that these young men would cheer up.
Rubio was also clapping, trying to restore the morale of his young teammates.
But!
Useless!
"The Lakers are still pressing all over the court!"
"It's a change of guard! The Lakers have changed their defenses! β
"Coach D is signaling for the Lakers to change the defense all over the court!"
"McCarvey sticks Rubio, Ibanks sticks Wiggins, Covington sticks Harris Barnes, Wade sticks Zacravin, Antetokounmpo is distracting!"
"It's too strong, this full-court pressing of the Lakers is too strong!!"
"This is Coach D's micro-exercises, will Coach D's micro-exercises be successful this time?!"
On the court, facing the Lakers' almost airtight full-court pressing.
Bogut felt like his palms were sweaty.
And almost at the same time, the youngest Zach LaVine couldn't stand the atmosphere and subconsciously pushed Wade to get rid of the defense.
The referee didn't blow!
Seeing this fleeting passing opportunity, almost before the baseline serve violation, Bogut passed the basketball in his hand!
Target, Zach Lavin!
And almost at the same time, Wade, who was pushed away by LaVine just now, also rushed forward like a rocket swishing!
Bang!
Almost as soon as Zach LaVine received the ball, Wade arrived!
The Laven man was knocked down, and the ball in his hand was already in Wade's hand!
Seeing the Timberwolves being cut off again, the Timberwolves fans on the sidelines went crazy!
Is this still the Laker who was hung and beaten by the Timberwolves?
Even Popovich in front of the TV was just as stupid at this time.
"The Lakers, this season, are they really dead?"
"That's all for this defensive ......"
"Do you know what the strongest defense is?"
"That's !!"
"That's the strongest defensive system Coach D built in the playoffs last season!!"
"The tide is generally endless!!
No matter how bad the Lakers' offense is, it won't be an 82-game losing streak!
"But...... Such a defense cannot be sustained! β
Last year, after the black eight steal and seven games, the Lakers and Spurs players collapsed.
It doesn't matter if it's young or old, a bunch of players who have collapsed.
There's no way the Lakers are going to play like that.
But!
Facing Bogut, who walked into the court to defend after serving, Wade had no fear at all!
I rode up against Bogut!
Bang!
Wade hung on the basket with one hand!
Wade's feet were also on Bogut's neck!
Two points hit!
And a penalty!
"Oh my God! Ride buckle Bogut! The last player to ride Bogut was Carter of the Lakers! β
"Correct, Chris, Carter's not an ordinary riding buckle, Carter's is a death buckle!"
At this time, Bogut's head on the court was already buzzing!
For him, the past 1 minute or so has been an absolute nightmare!
Constantly being beaten by the Lakers.
And now, he was actually buckled by Wade!!
He can be sure that the picture of himself being seated will be taken out and whipped for at least one more season!
After he was deducted by Carter's death last season, there is still a constant inventory of the media!
Bogut is now collapsing.
Wade, on the other hand, jumped off the basket with great excitement.
Bouncing and pouting, after the arrogant celebration, Wade rushed to Du Kang on the sidelines.
"Coach D, I feel it! I felt my knees filled with energy that I had never felt before!! β
"They're back, they're really back!!!"
Wade, who lost his meniscus in his knee when he was in college, was more excited than ever.
Almost at the same time, the system was beating wildly.
"Ding, your player Dwyanwade's opinion of you has been adjusted to 96, please pay attention to check."
"Ding, your player Dwyanwade has adjusted his opinion of you to 97, please pay attention to check."
β¦β¦
Wade's favorability for him was adjusted until 99, and then stopped.
Wade's free throw hit.
With 7 seconds left in the game, the Lakers were 24-29, only 5 points behind the Timberwolves!
This incredible change in the situation is really jaw-dropping!
In the penguin live broadcast room, netizens are crazy.
And Ke Fan in the live broadcast room, his voice trembled with excitement at this time.
"The fans who went to relieve their hands a minute ago opened the elevator to restart the game, and they will definitely be !!blinded directly"
"A minute ago, the Lakers were 19 points behind, and by this time, the Lakers were down by just five points!!
"Teacher Yang, our little Coach Du, is it a man or a god, he took the team back 14 points in one minute, oh my God! It was the most explosive one-minute game I've ever seen!! β
At this time, Yang Huahua, who was output by Ke Fan's face next to Ke Fan, was blinded.
He just said that even if Coach Xiao Du encounters such a Laker, there is no way, Coach Xiao Du is still a person in the end, not a real god.
Although everyone says that Coach Xiao Du is the god of coaching, it is best for everyone to just listen to this kind of praise and never take it seriously.
But!
Nima's!
14 points in 1 minute!
Is this Nima really human?
You know, at this time, there is no Kobe Bryant or Maddie on the Lakers' court, and there is no Yao Ming!
In the playoffs, the Lakers staged even more terrifying Lakers moments!
However, what was the Lakers lineup back then, and what is the Lakers lineup now?
You know, a minute ago, the Lakers were still being beaten by the Timberwolves!
Yang Huahua now really feels like she has collapsed.
At this time, in the penguin live broadcast room, netizens saw Yang Huahua like this, and they were really laughing crazy.
"Hahahaha, Coach Xiao Du's daily face-slapping task has been completed!"
"Teacher Yang was slapped in the face by Coach Xiao Du again!!"
"I like to see Teacher Yang Huahua look like this, and I have doubts about the rules of basketball, hahahaha!"
And on the pitch, the game continues.
At this time, the Timberwolves players also felt the feeling of collapse.
This time, the Timberwolves didn't send the baseline ball to LaVine again, even if Rubio was stuck by McCarvey and didn't let him catch the ball.
The Timberwolves ended up letting the other players cover for Rubio and passed the ball to Rubio's hands.
However, after receiving the ball, the Timberwolves didn't even dare to move!
Yes!
The Timberwolves are actually waiting for the end of the first quarter of the game!
"Oh my God, the Timberwolves actually gave up on offense!!"
Seeing this choice of the Timberwolves, the Lakers bench players on the sidelines were shocked at this time.
Then, like Aunt Jenny, he looked at Du Kang in amazement.
Jokic, Garnett, Pierce, Dinwiddie, Kyle Anderson......
At this time, all the new players of the Lakers looked at Du Kang in amazement.
After they didn't play, the Lakers actually played such a fighting power!
Garnett and Pierce looked at each other.
The two did not take the initiative to ask for the ball after they came on the court, and although the game was not as negative as Wade, it was not positive either.
The reason why they are like this is quite simple, the two of them want control of the Lakers.
They've been in the league for so many years, how could they not feel like most of the Lakers' players aren't so welcoming to them.
It's hard for them to get status with the Lakers.
Only the role players of the Lakers, who want to be on the top, keep losing and are constantly beaten by society, do they know their own pounds.
I know who is the most important player in this Lakers team.
So, they chose not to be proactive on the court and watch McCarvey perform.
Right now......
"This Lakers is Coach D's team."
"We forgot that Coach D is the real heart of this team!"
Obviously, with the Lakers, it is not a good choice to get ownership of the team in this way.
Because, it is really possible for Coach D to abandon them completely!
Now, although they feel the change in themselves, they don't want to leave the Lakers.
Check out this group of role players for the Lakers!
Under the command of Coach D, they can even defeat such a timberwolves!
If we join, even if Coach D selects three parallel goods in this draft, the Lakers are not completely uncompetitive!
The first quarter of the game is over.
At this time, the score on the court was 24-29, and the Lakers still trailed by 5 points.
But the Lakers fans at the scene seemed to have won the game, and the atmosphere at the scene was no longer free of any worries and melancholy.
The opposite of Lakers fans are Timberwolves fans.
At this time, the Timberwolves fans holding up the signs had already felt the endless malice of the Lakers fans around them.
However, Timberwolves fans are strong.
Now that they're in Los Angeles, they've thought about the worst.
It's a big deal to be beaten up by the Lakers fans on the spot.
So the Timberwolves fans at the scene were still shouting frantically in the face of such malice.
"Thank you to the great Coach D for sending us Wiggins!"
"Thank you to the great Coach D for taking away Garnett from the pit man!"
"Thank you to the great Coach D for finding Zach LaVine for the Timberwolves!"
Fack!!
Listening to the disgusting shouts of the Timberwolves fans at the scene, the Lakers fans at the scene really couldn't stand it!
Yes, even if the Lakers beat the Timberwolves in this game, they can't wash away the mentally retarded operations of the great D coach this offseason.
Ditching Wiggins and opting for parallel Jokic.
Gave up so many excellent role players and chose a veteran of the pit man like Garnett, who can already retire.
These slogans that Timberwolves fans are shouting now, Lakers fans find that they really can't refute it.
For a while, the Lakers fans on the scene were gritting their teeth.
At this time, Du Kang on the sidelines was greeting the Lakers players coming off the court.
"Dwyan, how do you feel?"
"Awesome! It's really awesome!! β
Wade is really excited right now.
He felt that his body was really better than ever!
And right now.
"Ding, your player Kevin Garnett's opinion of you has been adjusted to 92, please pay attention to check."
"Ding, your player Paul Pierce's opinion of you has been adjusted to 90, please pay attention to check."
"Ding, your player Jokic's opinion of you has been adjusted to 88, please pay attention to check."
β¦β¦
Du Kang was slightly stunned.
The system swiped the screen again.
With these new players on the Lakers, it seems that the mentality has finally changed.
A smile appeared on Du Kang's face.
It's not just their attitudes towards themselves that have changed.
There has also been a change in their attitude towards their teammates.
While Dukang greeted these Lakers players, Garnett, Pierce, Barkley and other Lakers newcomers were also welcoming Lakers players.
Seeing this scene, the look on Phil Jackson's face in front of the TV became very ugly.
And Kidd, who was next to him, showed an extremely shocked look at this time.
Because before this game started, Phil Jackson told him about the difficulties that the Lakers are facing right now.
The biggest difficulty is the unity of the team!
"Even if this Lakers team is Bryant, Maddie and Yao Ming are all there, they may face dynastic syndrome and collapse if they are not careful.
Now that the three are not on the team, there will definitely be a conflict between the young and old players of the Lakers and the new veterans.
Even if it is not an overt contradiction, it is all those contradictions that will plague the Lakers for at least half a season, and even in the end, those veterans will be cleared away by Coach D, and the Lakers will return to normal again.
This kind of contradiction is the most dangerous, Coach D should rebuild the team this season, rebuild for a season, and welcome back Kobe, Maddie and Yao Ming next season, and the Lakers will be the strongest team in the league.
But Coach D is unwilling to give up this season and has signed Wade, Garnett, Pierce, Barkley, which is hesitation, hesitation, and at any time it will lead to the worst option.
If the Lakers' excellent role players end up distracted this season, then the Lakers will be useless even if they welcome back their three star players next season. β
"It's inexplicable, Garnett and Pierce aren't strong enough, do you think the Lakers' young people who want to compete for the team's star can afford them? With what you know about Garnett and Pierce, they're being looked down upon, what do you think they'll do? Their final performance with the Nets last season will be replicated with the Lakers.
If they still have enough quality right now, will they let that group of Lakers youngsters ride on their heads? The stronger they are, the more hostile those Lakers players will be towards them, and don't forget, these Lakers players have bosses, but those bosses haven't come back.
These are two forces that cannot be fused, Coach D has mixed them all together, and Coach D will not have to create any offensive system for the Lakers this season, and it is enough for them to reconcile the internal contradictions of the team. β
"Fei'er, do you think Coach D can't handle this matter?"
"There is no solution, because this balance is too difficult, Garnett and Pierce are not strong, they are not weak, which reminds me of the bull when Michael Jordan retired."
When he played the Knicks in the playoffs, he asked Kukoc to execute the stunner, but Pippen directly chose to refuse to play.
Even now, the contradiction between Kukochi and Pippen has not been resolved.
If Jordan hadn't come back later, the bull would have collapsed.
In Pippen's opinion, he and Klaus liked Kukochi so much, and when they wanted to correct Kukoczy, they were too fond of young people and did not respect their exploits.
And in the eyes of those young players of the Lakers, Coach D loves veterans so much, what is this to do with these young people?
Do young people deserve to be green leaves?
The stronger the Lakers' young players show, the greater the opinions of these young players must be.
It's a zero-sum game at all.
The Lakers are much more dangerous now than his Bulls.
The Bulls at his time were at most a matter of individual players and individual players, where are these two completely opposite forces like the Lakers.
"Sometimes I still admire Coach D, he always does this kind of stupid thing that everyone can see."
In Phil Jackson's view, knowing that these young players of the Lakers have shown good strength, he does not continue to focus on cultivating them, but goes to find a bunch of star veterans, which is the way to get rid of chaos.
"Jason, you know what? In the first quarter, Garnett and Pierce were actually fighting for control of the Lakers. β
What?!
Kidd was stunned!
He's also been in the NBA for so many years.
Just didn't think about it, and after Phil Jackson's reminder, Kidd quickly remembered what Garnett and Pierce were like in the first quarter.
At the time, he just thought that Garnett and Pierce were too good now, but now that he thinks about it, it may not be because he is too vegetable!
These two people are actually deliberately messing up in order to show their importance!
Fack!
Kidd was really stunned.
Originally, he also wanted to see what tactical system Coach D would play in the team without Yao Ming, Kobe and Maddy.
Will it invent the wonderful and crazy tactical system like last season's five small and heroic tactics, or the tactical system like last season's five defenders?
Now it seems that if Coach D can't straighten out the situation within the Lakers, it's impossible!
And just like Phil said, the internal situation of the Lakers seems to be really inexplicable.
By this time, Kidd and Phil Jackson had already looked on the court.
At this time, the Lakers players on the court had already changed five players up and five down.
Jokic, Garnett, Pierce, Dinwiddie, Kanan.
This is the player on the Lakers' rotation lineup.
"It's over!"
Seeing this rotation lineup of the Lakers, Kidd let out such an exclamation in his heart almost instantly.
Yes, it's over!
Garnett and Pierce didn't work hard and are now fighting for the Lakers' spot.
And Jokic and Dinwiddie, these are two rookies, and it seems that there is a high probability of parallel goods.
In the end, the Lakers of this lineup, the real combat power is only Kanan!
Kanan's strength is definitely okay, but no matter how good it is, it's also a role player!
On the Timberwolves side, the starters at this time are Pekovic, Bennett, Corey Brewer, Zeiss Badinger, and Mo.
Although Pekovic and Mo Jr. are not All-Star-caliber players, they are both elite players at a quasi-All-Star level.
And Corey Brewer and Battinger are also famous players in the NBA.
The intensity of this squad is certainly not good compared to the rotation lineup of those super strong teams.
But compared to the Lakers, the old and small, the rotten lineup must be much stronger.
So, Kidd doesn't think it's a problem at all.
Even at this time, Kidd is not the only one who thinks so.
Even many Celtics fans on the Internet became excited again after being shocked for more than a minute.
"Coach D made trouble again, and actually sent all the Lakers players who performed the most badly in the first quarter to the court!"
"Coach D, this is going crazy! Coach D doesn't really want to win this game, does he? β
"Hahahaha...... I don't think it's that Coach D doesn't want to win, it's that he doesn't have a choice, and he can't let that lineup play the whole game in the last two minutes of the first quarter, right? The Lakers can only play 11 players in this game, in fact, this rotation lineup is already the strongest rotation lineup of the Lakers, hahahaha......"
"This wasn't done by Coach D himself! I have to choose Jokic for the first pick, I have to sign Garnett and Pierce as a free agent, all these difficulties are brought by Coach D himself! β
Boston Celtics fans online are really excited.
"KG, Paul, take out the Lakers !!"
Many Celtics fans have even started asking Garnett and Pierce to take out the current Lakers online.
It can only be said that these people are really watching the excitement quite cool now.
And on the court, the Timberwolves players are not so cool.
The Timberwolves attacked first, and Xiao Mo attacked first with the ball, so he directly wanted to play alone, and he specifically blocked and dismantled Garnett's singles.
This is the established tactic of the Timberwolves.
Now Garnett and Pierce are two of the Lakers' worst players.
Who do you not hit them?
However!
Bang!
In the first section, he was like a dead man's Garnett, and directly covered Xiao Mo's heads-up!
Celtic fans on the Internet are stupid.
"Can KG still have that kind of energy in a game? He can't catch his breath three times when he jumps like this?! β
However, Garnett followed the Lakers even after the block, and was about to attack!!
"Oh my God!!!"
An hour and a half later, the game ended.
The score was 105-95!
The Lakers got off to a flying start by beating the Timberwolves at home.
In front of the TV, Phil Jackson felt his face heating up, as if he had been slapped in the air!
"This, how is it possible?!"
The Lakers, actually merged again?!
And on the other side of the TV.
James' face was not shocked but ugly.
The Timberwolves are still such a dish!
Wiggins blew into the sky, and in the end he still lost!
"Isn't it just winning a Timberwolves?"
"In the next game, I'll show you, Timberwolves, what kind of team it is!"
Defeat Wiggins, defeat the Timberwolves, let these Lakers fans and players who won such a game like a championship know how good they are now!
