Timberwolves (19) :(9) Lakers.

Lin Fei replaced the "madman" and partnered with the "alien" Kassel in the backcourt.

The "Zen Master" on the Lakers' side also replaced Gary Payton with the old fish Fisher and continued to entangle with Lin Fei.

In a rooftop box at the Target Center Arena, General Manager Kevin McHale couldn't help but frown, quite dissatisfied with Philip Saunders' substitution.

The Timberwolves' starting five tigers are playing hot, and they should chase after the victory, and now let Lin Fei replace the "madman" and partner with Cassel, who has not fully recovered from his back injury, in the backcourt.

Not to mention the offense, the backcourt combination will definitely be broken by Kobe and Fisher defensively.

On the court, the Lakers attacked, and sure enough, Kobe Bryant found Lin Fei at this point, made physical contact in the breakthrough, and wanted to make Lin Fei's foul.

Lin Fei didn't blindly stretch out his hand, and after a slight delay, he retreated in time, and Si Zebiak quickly changed his defense.

After all, Szebiak is a heavy-tonnage defender, and his footsteps are far less fast than the "madman", and it is difficult to defend against Kobe.

"Whoosh!"

Kobe Bryant held the ball with his back, turned around in a reverse after a false shake, accelerated and directly passed Szebiak and went straight to the penalty area.

The Wolves let go of Luke Wharton and quickly made up for it, and Bryant decisively distributed the ball to Luke Wharton in the big open space near the free throw line.

Perhaps because of nervousness, Luke Wharton hesitated and didn't choose to shoot, but Szebiak made up for it, and Wharton Jr. distributed the ball to Devin George on the three-point line behind him.

Devin George received the ball in a big open space at the top of the arc, and he had to shoot even if he didn't shoot, and he shot directly from three points.

"Bang dang!"

The basketball bullet missed, but the rebound was squeezed by O'Neal and Olovo Kandi grabbed it strongly, and after landing on the ground, he jumped up again and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Boom!"

The Timberwolves did a good job of defending this time as a whole, and the changes of defense of Sharp Biak and the Wolf King were very timely, forcing Kobe Bryant to play the ball, making up for Lin Fei's poor defense to the greatest extent.

If Devin George's three-point shot had rebounded longer, the Timberwolves would likely have launched a wave of counter-attacks.

But the downside of this kind of defense is that it always keeps Luke Wharton and Devin George open, and they can't be unable to shoot all the time.

Lin Fei's defensive vulnerabilities did drag down the team to a large extent, but the Wolf King and Si Zebiak's supplementary defense had no complaints.

Now this Timberwolves team is really becoming more and more united.

In front of the commentary stand on the sidelines, the famous ESPN commentator Mike Brin couldn't help but admire:

"To be able to make Kevin, Ratrier and Szebiak and others willing to make up for it again and again is enough to prove Lin's role and status in this team now!"

"So will this wonder boy from the Celestial Empire be able to use his unsolvable three-point shot on the offensive end tonight to save the flaws on the defensive end? Let's wait and see! ”

The ball was converted, and the Timberwolves came to the offensive end.

Cassel held the ball from three points out at the top of the arc and faced off against Black Mamba Bryant.

Because the "madman" was resting off the court, and Fisher had always been the main defender of Lin Fei, Kobe Bryant faced the "alien" Kassel at this time.

Although it is rumored that Cassel's back injury is still serious, his performance in the opening minutes tonight was quite impressive, and the impact of the injury was not visible at all.

Therefore, the Lakers naturally did not dare to be careless, so they let Kobe Bryant misposition the main defense.

The Wolves raised the position to provide a cover for Cassel, and the alien walked to the right with the ball in order to break through.

At the same time, Olovo Kandi also mentioned the left high position, Lin Fei desperately squeezed Fisher from the bottom corner of the right side, and accelerated through the offensive half diagonally, with the help of Oloo Kandi's cover,

Instantly came to the left 45-degree angle three-point line.

"Whoosh!"

When Lin Fei ran to the left side of the 45-degree angle three-point line, the alien who took a step on the right side of the arc made a false pass, and while looking directly at the basket, his left wrist shook,

Don't look at the person to pass the ball accurately sideways.

When Lin Feiren arrived at the ball, he barely lost a little time, and after taking the ball, he tilted his body slightly and jumped up directly, throwing his hand in a flowing water.

Whether you can get in or not is another matter, anyway, it's fast!

At this time, Fisher had just bypassed Olovocandi's huge body, and the distance between him and Lin Fei was only one meter, but by the time he reacted quickly and jumped up to block, the basketball had already flown leisurely over his head.

If Lin Fei had made a slower shot by 0.3 seconds this time, the old fish would definitely have been able to deliver a sturdy big hat.

But it was precisely because of the difference that it was difficult for Fisher to stop again.

"Huh!"

A cloud-piercing arrow in the sky, thousands of troops come to meet each other.

"Beep!"

The ball whistle blows, 3+1.

After landing on the ground, Lin Fei was directly knocked down by Fisher, but he still lay on the ground confidently and calmly, put two fingers to his mouth, and made a blow pistol movement.

"Derek, I'm really sorry to make a 3+1 on you again!"

Fisher's face changed with a blush, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Cassel and the Wolf King hurriedly rushed up and pulled Lin Fei up, with excited expressions on their faces.

"Sam, do you dare to pass on this?"

"Lin, can you enter this?"

Facing the wolf king's round-eyed inquiry, Kassel and Lin Fei looked at each other and smiled, with a clear heart.

"Lin can throw in, what do I dare not pass on!"

"Sam dares to pass, what am I afraid to enter!"

Garnett smiled and gave a thumbs up to the two: "It turns out that you two are a perfect match!" ”

Philip Sanders, who was standing in front of the Timberwolves bench on the sidelines, applauded excitedly and was quite pleased.

What used to require complex elevator door cover to get a chance now only needs a simple cover from the center.

This is reflected in the timing of Kassel's passes.

It seems that his guess has always been correct, a player like Lin Fei, who has the top off-ball ability comparable to Hamilton, needs the cooperation of a top point guard around him the most.

Technically, Kassel isn't a top-tier point guard, and his scoring ability is even stronger than his playmaking ability.

If Lin Fei is surrounded by super point guards like Jason Kidd and Steve Nash, his three-point shot will inevitably be even more explosive.

"Huh!"

Lin Fei, who walked to the free throw line, easily added free throws, and the free throw attribute of 98 was as stable as an old dog.

Seeing that Lin Fei's first attack was another 3+1, the Timberwolves fans at home were completely boiling.

"Haha, it's been three games in a row, who else dares to say that Lin's three points are luck?"

"The last G6 game was a 3+1 lore, and this G7 game is a 3+1 start, Lin's three-point shot is too handsome, and it will soon become a unique landscape in the NBA league!"

"I advise Fisher not to pounce, pay for a foul every time, and if you can cover Lin, I will lose!"

"Sam's timing of this pass is really good, Lin received the ball and shot without ambiguity, it was really seamless, and he didn't miss the opportunity of 0.5 seconds!"

"Although I lost 2 points on the defensive end, I immediately got back 4 points on the offensive end, this is Lin, you can still shine in the finals without defense!"

"The wolf king's performance is explosive, Sam is returning from injury, Wally and Ratrill are both offensive and defensive, plus Lin's hand continues to be hot, is there still suspense in tonight's tie-break? Zen master should disarm and surrender early! ”

"OK should be disbanded, the Lakers era is over, and the next is the era of our Timberwolves!"

On the court, Kobe Bryant continued to hold the ball to hit Lin Fei's point, and while Szebiak changed defenses, Devin George quickly cut the basket and scored two points on the layup.

"Huh!"

The wolf king frowned slightly, Lin Fei's three points on the offensive end were indeed accurate, but on the defensive end, the feeling of being stabbed by the opponent again and again was really a little aggrieved.

Conversion of possession.

Lin Fei put all his energy on the offensive end, this time at a 45-degree angle on the right side, or with the help of Olovocandi's high cover,

Fisher was quick to chase this time, striding around the cover in advance, and his body blocked between Kassel near the top of the arc and Lin Fei on the right, cutting off the passing line.

At this time, Cassel directly rushed to the basket with the help of the wolf king's cover, and the right wrist of the dribble suddenly shook during the march and passed the ball diagonally towards the left bottom corner.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fei didn't stop after running out of the cover, and borrowed Olovokandi twice in a row to cover, and quickly rushed towards the bottom corner from the right 45-degree angle.

Kassel's ball gave enough advance amount, Lin Feiqiu arrived, turned over and pulled up after receiving the ball at a 0-degree angle, and shot again in the face frame.

Fisher was delayed by Olovo Kandi this time, and was thrown directly 3 meters away, and could only watch the basketball turn into a long arrow and go straight to the net.

"Huh!"

The second.

The Timberwolves fans at home also shouted excitedly along with the live DJ: "Second, second, second......"

Timberwolves (26) :(13) Lakers.

Kobe Bryant was anxious, gritted his teeth in the defense, and said coldly to Fisher: "Made, next time I go to the forest, you keep an eye on Sam Cassel!" ”

"I don't believe it, this guy can really keep in!"
