After the timeout, the Lakers changed their defensive strategy. Instead of giving Roy a chance to face his weaknesses one-on-one, he immediately double-teamed his strength with a pick-and-roll.

As soon as the Timberwolves saw that the first set of tactics would not work, they immediately changed their minds, replaced Miles and Oden, closed Outlaw and Tucker, and Milicic moved to the center position. This lineup has more space on the field. big.

Seeing that the Timberwolves were replaced by the Lakers, they immediately dispatched troops to replace Posey and Odom. This lineup is the strongest lineup for the Lakers, with strong mobility and balanced offense and defense.

Seeing this lineup, the fans cheered even louder, but Xu Xiao remained calm.

Afterwards, the Lakers' offensive and defensive ends improved a lot, but the score has not been turned over. The Timberwolves have maintained a 5-7 point lead and maintained their advantage until the end of the first quarter.

The fans wouldn't notice anything. In their view, the Lakers were just playing with the Timberwolves. This point difference was nothing at all. But the so-called layman watched the excitement, and the insider watched the doorway. Phil Jackson first realized that something was abnormal in the situation.

It stands to reason that the Lakers' offensive shooting rate is not bad, and the overall defense is also good. The Timberwolves' offense basically has no routines. Basically, whoever gets the ball does it alone, or it is a simple breakthrough. How can they always maintain the lead? ?Phil Jackson was also a little puzzled, so he could only adjust by substituting players. In the first quarter, Brooks used his speed to single out Fisher repeatedly, so Xu Xiao replaced Farmar, who was younger and faster.

At this time, it has entered the duel of the rotation lineup. The Lakers still have Kobe leading the team. This is the horror of the Lakers. Even in the stage of fighting for the bench, they can still maintain a superstar.

The Timberwolves replaced Swift. After the golf quotient attributes improved, although the technology is still rough, the selection and positioning have improved a lot.

Kobe took the ball and passed Hyde in one step. Facing the defending Oden, Bynum easily passed the ball to follow up. With all his strength, he wanted to have a slam dunk.

But he didn't realize that Swift had already stood in the defensive position. When he found out, it was too late, and he bumped straight into it.

A whistle blows for an offensive foul.

Depressed, Bynum could only lower his head and return to the defense. After coming back, he managed to defend against Oden's strong attack, but the rebound was pointed out. Arroyo missed the mid-range breakthrough, but the rebound's landing point had long been judged by Swift. Although he doesn't know the skill of hooking with footsteps, it is still not a problem to make a tip-up from the basket. Before Bynum could react, he directly showed his housekeeping skills and took off to make a dunk. It was firmly buckled on Bynum's face.

This made Bynum even more angry. After being humiliated several times by such a well-recognized big parallel importer, "Little Shark" couldn't bear his temper. Looking back, he wanted to be alone on the offensive end, and it happened that Swift came up to defend , Bynum's movements became stronger, a little bigger, and Swift, a muscular man, fell to the ground directly.

"Offensive foul!" There was another clear whistle. In just 2 minutes, Bynum was humiliated three times by Swift, who had been ridiculed for having muscles in his head. With three fouls on his back, he had to be replaced early and replaced by blue-collar center Turifya, and Bynum's irrational behavior also aroused the dissatisfaction of the audience.

Oden has a lot of space inside Bynum. Oden has a good low-post ability. Although his skills are a bit rough, but with his strong body and good touch at the basket, he can still play a good success rate in the position. Come on, especially in the face of a center like Turifya who is not as tall or as fast as him.

"Strange, I remember watching your game before, you are a big center, and your singles ability is not good enough. Several times, I was angry when I watched it, and I just couldn't put it in the basket." Yilin asked with some doubts.

"That's the wrong way for the coach to use it."

Xu Xiao said confidently.

Xu Xiao still knows about Auden. Although Oden in his previous life was rough at the basket, he still had a certain ability to attack the frame and post up. Take the 09-10 season as an example. He has played more than 20 games, but the proportion of 0-3 feet shots is 71%, and his shooting rate is 70%. He has to play 36 backs every 7.2 minutes and score 0.72 points per round. If the data is not intuitive enough, In other words, "Warcraft" Howard has only had two seasons in post-up singles in his entire career. The efficiency of post-up singles is higher than that of Oden this year.

The reason why Oden can have such data is also due to his physical talent. He is taller, stronger and faster than Howard, and his footsteps are better. With this physical condition, he can face some A blue-collar center with average talent has the upper hand.

What really restricts Oden's offensive performance is his passing and shooting. The level of passing the ball is poor, and there are basically no hook shots near the frame, let alone mid-range, but Oden faced Turif. A blue-collar center like Ya, who is not as tall or as fast as him, can still fight with his heart. This is also one of Xu Xiaode's plans. As long as Bynum is allowed to go down, the restriction on Oden will be lifted.

Of course, unless Phil Jackson is stupid enough to use Garnett to defend Oden, let the defensive core here fall into the third or even fourth offensive point of the Timberwolves for consumption, and it is still the least favorite and the most energy-consuming Inside melee.

After Xu Xiao explained to Yilin, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. After thinking about it carefully, he turned around and asked, "Since you still watch the Timberwolves game, I remember that you like the sun's free-flowing offense. Why do you still pay attention to us?" This kind of constipated and depressing team game." Xu Xiao suddenly realized that Yilin might not want to hear his explanation.

"After all, your team, I naturally have to pay attention to it, but it's really not very good-looking." Yilin said with a smile.

"Don't worry, the future will be better, and I believe that day will not be too far away." Xu Xiao whispered close to her ear.

Feeling the heat in her ears, Yilin blushed and said, "I'm just joking."

"I'm serious." Seeing her embarrassed look, Xu Xiao said with a smirk, girls aged 17 and 8 and boys aged 21 and 2 both felt a little hot in their hearts.

However, a burst of hasty whistles interrupted their communication. Swift once again made an offensive foul by the old fisher Fisher, and some fans on the scene were already dissatisfied. The player who was recognized by the league as the player with the lowest golf quotient played continuously, which made the proud How could the Lakers fans accept it, so they began to complain about the referees.

The Lakers had no choice but to change players and let Garnett come back. The effect of Garnett's return was immediate, not only on the defensive end, deterring the inside to prevent Oden from scoring easily, but also on the offensive end. You can go around to the correct position every time, but it is Garnett after all. No matter how high your golf quotient is, the technical gap cannot be changed.

As soon as the score came up, it was approaching immediately, and the Lakers fans cheered again, and couldn't help but start mocking the Timberwolves again. Your wolf king is really easy to use.

Xu Xiao just watched quietly. He never thought of completely preventing the Lakers from dying. After all, this is Kobe and Garnett. In this way, in the next game, it is impossible for the Lakers to follow their own rhythm step by step as before.

And at the same time, Outlaw hit two more three-pointers, allowing the Timberwolves to continue to maintain a 54-48 lead, which has disrupted the Lakers' game plan.

"A player like Outlaw with a sharp knife is really easy to use if he runs smoothly. Although he is almost defensive, but as a substitute, once the touch comes up, relying on his jumping wingspan, then this is how to shoot. It's gone." Xu Xiao said to Yilin happily, thinking in her heart, should I turn around and draw a defensive player card to Outlaw, then he is really the top 3D in the league.

There are still 5600 points left. I am observing a few games. I will come here after the All-Star Game to see if I can draw any more useful star cards. Now the cards of Mobley and Korver are not used yet. , that is what he plans to use until next season to become a blockbuster. He has not yet decided who it will be used for. The main problem now is to upgrade the system quickly. Now it is only level [-], and the highest star card is only up to level b.

But the headache for Xu Xiao now is that he doesn't know how to upgrade the system at all, and now he can only take one step at a time.

At halftime, the Timberwolves still led the Lakers 60-55 at halftime, relying on Outlaw's final nerve knife performance. At halftime, Phil Jackson was yelling in the Lakers locker room. Their offense No problem at all, but their defense had a big problem today.

It's a disgrace for the Timberwolves, who averaged 95 points per game this season, to score 60 in the half, especially when you have super defenders like Kobe and Garnett on your team At that time, an opponent who could not attack scored 60 points in the half, which is unacceptable for the Lakers.

Phil Jackson thinks that they just underestimated the enemy. As long as they can be more serious in the second half, the Timberwolves will definitely be overwhelmed. They are one-on-one, and they don't give them a chance to show the overall defense at all, and the Timberwolves can always find the most correct one-on-one way.

The Timberwolves have a different atmosphere.

"My God, this game was so enjoyable. The Lakers have nothing to do with us." Milicic shouted excitedly in the locker room. He played too much this season. Obviously, he has improved so much and developed three-pointers, but he has never been able to get a chance to play. This halftime has liberated him. He hit three three-pointers and won at halftime. 13 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 block. Compared with the opposite All-Star power forward Garnett's 11 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, these data are not low.

"I have to say, our boss really has two brushes." Roy, the boss of the team, also stood up. This halftime can be regarded as a full display of his strength. The players have always been in his hands, whether it is The offense is still organized, and the team has been going smoothly. He also scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

"Yeah, why don't you let the boss be the coach in the future." Oden also booed. Although he didn't have so many possessions in this half, he created many good opportunities for him. When he was in Nam, he just went down and cut with the air, and he didn't go straight to them, but when he met Turifya, he just ordered Oden.

In short, this half of the game fully demonstrated the characteristics of the Timberwolves players.

The Chinese basketball commentator on the other side of the ocean, Mr. Yang also praised the performance of the Timberwolves in the first half, but he also said:

"This game, for this half, the Timberwolves played really well. He played everything they could play. Instead of the tortured game before, this game will attack you with my strengths. It’s short, the ball is misplaced, I know that you have two people to defend well in the Lakers, but I won’t give you a chance, I will find your weakest point, and he can always find it, plus they are shooting well now, so give us What was presented was a wonderful first half game here.

But I still want to say that the Timberwolves are playing like a pack of wolves now, but you don’t have a real star. You look at Milicic, Oden, including the old Rockets player Swift who is on the bench, and they all played very smart today. Of course, we have to say that Swift has made a lot of progress this year. If he had such an IQ in the Rockets that year, we would not have traded him. points, but you still haven't opened the score, you can't guard me, I can't guard you, but in the second half, when your physical strength drops, your shooting percentage drops, but I still have Kobe and Gane Special, so I think today will be a good game, but the Timberwolves have little chance of winning. "

After Mr. Yang's serious analysis, the domestic fans seemed to have taken a reassurance. After all, there are still a lot of domestic Lakers fans. Although the owner of the Timberwolves is Chinese, for such a small traffic team, it is really an improvement. Not interested.

So whether it is domestic or foreign, basically everyone thinks that the game should be over when the Lakers come back to form in the second half, but there is only one person who doesn't think so, and that is Xu Xiao, oh no, now it should be said that there are two people, and now Yilin is too The most loyal fan of the Timberwolves.

"Just wait, there will be a good show in the second half."
