Chapter 1213

The Timberwolves didn’t play well in the second quarter either. The substitute lineup was still defended. The Lakers’ second lineup was not bad at all. The defense was very active and the athletic ability was good. Single defense, top defense, switch defense, chasing and capping Okay, the veterans have all the experience, even if Nick Young and Farmar are a bit short, the defense of the other three is enough.Because the Timberwolves' substitutes are all average except for one Shabazz Muhammad, LaVine should have been a good substitute, but unfortunately he did not appear on the team's roster tonight due to physical discomfort, so Relying on Shabazz Muhammad alone is a bit difficult.

It would be fine if there was LaVine on the other side to meet and attract firepower. Now it is equivalent to the Lakers focusing on guarding him alone.This season's Zijin Army is not the same as last season. The defense is very systematic. Unless Shabazz Muhammad misses a large three-pointer, otherwise, he will easily fall into the defensive quagmire of the Lakers.And Muhammad's three-point shooting is not good at all. This season's shooting percentage is less than 3%. He is a strong breakthrough finisher, but he can't break the Lakers' defense.

At least the hit rate is low.

In the second quarter, the main players began to play one after another. The Timberwolves hadn't scored 15 points yet. The Lakers' defense was really improving step by step as the season progressed.Because when he played at the beginning of the season, Mohamed did not feel such a great defensive pressure.

The defense of this team is really too good, so good that even if I want to attack, I feel like I have no way to start.

The team with the highest defensive efficiency in the league, and it is far ahead of No.2, it is true.

And... this is still a substitute lineup. Mohammed really dare not think about facing the main lineup.

Fortunately... I am not a starter.He actually had this thought in his heart for a moment.

Wiggins came up first, and the Lakers made a sudden change at the beginning, snatching a move forward to the former, but Wiggins didn't notice, and it was too late when he started to resist.Because his body is too thin, about 30 pounds lighter than Butler, it is too difficult to get back after making a mistake.The ball was directly intercepted by Butler, or passed directly to Butler.Butler attacked, because Rondo hadn't come up yet, so he just dribbled the ball and played.

It's hard to beat other people, but Butler still has a lot of confidence to beat the "champion scholar" in front of him.

It's really sad that both No. [-] picks have become defensively poor in Minnesota.You must know that they were all very good defensively in college, but a team like this came to level up... The team culture quickly turned them into a "strong offensive and weak defensive" type.Although right now, "offensive strength and defense weakness" is a star trend in the league, do you see how many offensive and defensive stars are still there?So on the surface, it doesn't seem like a big problem.But when they encounter an opponent with both offense and defense, they still feel that they are not very comfortable playing because of the bonus of the defensive system.Now Wiggins is accepting this unfortunate process.

He can't make it in, but others can blow him up. Obviously, they all have similar scoring abilities, and they are all at the threshold level of the league's quasi-first-class scorers. Why is there such a big gap?Wiggins really wanted to cry, but he just thought about it. He never thought about starting to improve from the defensive aspect.Butler caused Wiggins' defensive foul and made 2 of 1 free throws.

At this time, Wiggins began to bet on three-pointers and dropped a double iron 2 times, which made the Lakers even wider.

The Timberwolves wanted to pass the ball inside, but it was cut off by Covington, and Butler hit Wiggins again and scored again!
After playing such a wave in a row, Butler needs to slow down a little bit. After all, he still has to defend, which is different from his opponent Wiggins, who only needs to attack and doesn't care about defense.If he dared to do this, Larry Brown would make him roll down and die in no time.

The Timberwolves replaced the starting point guard Rubio again. Rubio led the team to a 7-0 spurt. The team scored more than 20 points, which is really gratifying.At this time, the Lakers played Rondo and Tang Qian, and the Timberwolves also replaced Towns.Now most of the main players on both sides are back, and the substitute time is slowly coming to an end.Rubio used the pick-and-roll to break through Rondo once, but he was double-teamed by the Lakers before he went far. The Lakers were so courageous that they let go of Wiggins.Rubio struggled to pass the ball, because Butler came to defend, so only the 4th position can make up for the ball.

Who is number 4 now?Not Bosh, but Robert Covington.

Covington's defensive sense of the ball is very good, and he is also very quick to kill the defense. With a height of 206cm and a wingspan of 218cm, he has both speed and defensive radiation range. Wiggins did not expect his timely appearance. The ball is disturbed a lot, and you know you can't score as soon as you take the shot.The Lakers attacked, Tang Qiankong cut inside and outside, Ariza dribbled the ball and made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot.

The Timberwolves also wanted to pass and cut, but they found that the Lakers didn't let them have any gaps to drill.

Compared with the starting lineup just now, this lineup seems to be even more terrifying on the defensive end.

I can't open the pass and cut, and I can't pick up the speed if I want to play. I want to play a pick-and-roll breakthrough, but I am also defended by the Lakers. The latter's team's ability to switch defenses has been upgraded again!This made the Timberwolves players want to swear, hey, hey, please, this is the offensive era, okay? It's really inappropriate for you to play like this.

Can't we let us score a few goals too?

The answer is, no.

Larry Brown was watching from the sidelines. Although he didn't do anything, his mind was running fast. He was observing and thinking about the flaws and room for improvement in this lineup.Seriously, this lineup is for...

And he is now studying a super defensive tactic, and this super defensive tactic needs this lineup to support it.

Well, this guy with a basic salary is not bad, but I underestimated him. His defensive potential is quite large.

Heh, this kind of player was let off by the Houston Rockets?Out of your mind?
But thinking about the Rockets' tricky signings and signings over the years, Larry Brown is relieved. Morey is a typical data control, and he himself admitted this, so everything is the only one data theory.That set of "2k theory" Morey is the founder.At the beginning, the Knicks were forced to ask for Jordan Hill, but it turned out that Jordan Hill did not have the strength of college days at all, and was just an ordinary substitute player.Then there are Jeremy Lin, Tyler Ennis, Battier for Hasim Thabeet, McDaniels, Ty Lawson, etc. There is nothing wrong with adding another Covington .

But it takes a few more games to realize that the Timberwolves are still too weak after all, and they are not regarded as a real opponent by Larry Brown at all.

Regardless of the fact that there are many potential players or even potential stars, it is also true that they cannot play and the team as a whole is in chaos.Larry Brown pays more attention to the actual situation. He doesn't care about the players who have not played well, the teams that have not played well, and the cards are good.Otherwise, how did you lead the "Popular Pistons" to defeat the "Gorgeous Lakers F4" back then?

It just depends on being pragmatic.

After several consecutive rounds, the Lakers have widened the score difference to 19 points. Even if the Timberwolves sometimes convulse and score a few sporadic three-pointers, that will not change the overall situation.And as I said before, this Timberwolves team shoots very few three-pointers and their shooting percentage is not high. It is simply difficult to rely on three-pointers to recover the situation.

So in order to bite the score and drag the suspense into the second half, we still need to find a stable scoring point to score.

Three-pointers are not a powerful weapon for this team that averages 15+ three-pointers per game and hits 3%.

On the empty side, Towns received the ball. Tang Qian looked at No. 32 of the Timberwolves and said, "What are you going to do? Rookie."

Towns has just tried his face-to-basket breakthrough pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll roll, back-up attack, etc., but he doesn't feel very good. So far, he has not scored a 1-pointer.Is he also going to be blocked in the first half?Do you want to become a tragic existence like Okafor of the 76ers?No, I'm different from him. I'm the No. [-] center forward in the league in the future. My offensive methods are a hundred times richer than Okafor's!
So he thought of a way, which is impossible for ordinary centers, to shoot directly.

Attack with projectiles.

brush~
Also went in.

Tang Qian was a little surprised by him, because he didn't expect that this guy would dare to play like this. The Lakers didn't score in the next round, and the Timberwolves rebounded and attacked again.It was still given to Downs. This time Downs dribbled the ball and pulled back. He thought it was a breakthrough, but it was another mid-range shot.

brush~
Come on!

4 points in a row!
The Target Center immediately ignited enthusiasm, which also made Downs feel confident again, and said: "See? I am different from them, and I am also different from you! I am a real all-rounder Center forward!" After speaking, he turned his head and left, and when he left, he made a gesture of celebration towards the auditorium, which raised the atmosphere of the audience again.Tang Qian looked at this person's back, and murmured, "The projection ability is so good? Look again."

Covington missed a three-pointer and the Timberwolves attacked. Tang Qian obviously stood up a little bit this time, but who knows, this time the Timberwolves' No. 32 directly dribbled the ball farther, and the ball probably reached 22~ On 23 feet, a little more, it will be out of the three-point line.Raise your hand, the basketball flies out, and then hits.

"Karl Downs!!!!!!!!!!" A shout came from the sound system of the Target Center, which was the voice of the on-site commentator.

You don't need to look at it to know, I am very excited, because Towns' three consecutive goals are too critical and morale-boosting, and the Lakers missed the offense, which immediately helped the Forest team recover a lot of points.As for the Lakers, who would have thought that there was a problem with the C position?This is rarely the case so far.

Tang Qian is the defensive core of this team, Dinghaishenzhen, if he is blown up, this defensive system will also be greatly affected.

How could it be shot from such a far away place?Still so accurate?This guy has great shooting ability.

It is normal for Tang Qian to be surprised. This season, Towns has shot close to 2% of long-range 3-pointers, and his shooting percentage is promising, as high as 50%.Yes, you read that right, it is 50% against the sky! ! !No matter how you say it, it's too accurate! ! !It has reached the top level of mid-range shooting among inside players in the league.Regardless of the difficulty of shooting, few outside players can match him.Even Bosh, who is good at shooting, has only one season in his career that can surpass this point, and the rest are all bad.

And don't forget, he is taller than Bosh, and his shots are more difficult to be interfered with and blocked.

"Dongfang Hot, did you see that? This is my counterattack! This game has just begun!!!" Downs hit three yuan in a row, and it's normal to fart a little bit. After all, he is still an American player, and he doesn't pay so much attention to "respect" The old love the young" and "modest and low-key".Of course, the most important thing is that Towns' shooting ability is indeed strong and accurate.

He hasn't developed a three-pointer much this season, and he will be even more invincible in the future.

Larry Brown is about to call a timeout, because the continuous scoring is still on his own defensive core. He thinks that he should call a timeout a little slower and adjust his state.However, Tang Qian on the field looked at him, and then waved his hand. The meaning is already very clear. The Lakers' No. 29 is saying that there is no need.

Is it?Can you handle it?Then I'll give you another chance to see if your performance allows me to end this timeout.

Regarding the request of the core players, Larry Brown still chose to take care of it once, but only this time.He is not a head coach like "Zen Master" and "Cole", and he can't give such a chance to make mistakes.

This is Tang Qian. If it were someone else, he wouldn't even think about it. He didn't even have a chance, so he just paused.

Penguin Webcast.

How could he shoot so well?Farther and farther?And hit 3 in a row!This Downs is really not easy.He is worthy of his status as the No. [-] pick, but he is better than Okafor.

Is this blindfolded?Suddenly became a striker?

No, don't talk about the front line, many outside players are not as good as those few shots just now.sharp.

It's not easy for Tang Ji to play. He has encountered such a freak. I hope the team can make adjustments as soon as possible.

It's brutal!Downs wakes up!He won't lose to Tang Qian tonight!Don's short shot is dangerous~
You sunspot, get the hell out of here, once Tang Qian doesn't play well, you'll be there, you're an idle asshole, right?
how?You didn't even allow people to spray it because you played badly?You Tang Mi, you are so anxious to clean up for Tang Qian.Are you ready to reverse black and white?How ridiculous!I have said a long time ago that Tang Qian is not that magical, as long as a center forward who can shoot can break through what you call the "absolute defensive field".Unfortunately, this kind of person has appeared now, and he is Downs.Tang Qian's future nemesis.

Yu Jia also said anxiously: "I didn't expect Towns to shoot so accurately. Now the Lakers will have a hard time. Ordinary switching defenses won't work." Yang Yi also nodded and said: "That's right, because Towns is too tall. , Ordinary short players can actually put little defensive pressure on the former when they switch defenses. Big players must go out to give enough defensive threats and defensive interference."

"If the Lakers can't guard against this point, it's really possible that Towns will lead the team to life."

"That would be difficult."

But Tang Qian didn't worry about these things, because at this moment, he felt a little excited and motivated. The rookie center No. 32 on the opposite side made him finally stop playing so simple and end without sweating much. Contest.

The Lakers attacked, Tang Qian reached the low post, and suddenly said: "Okay, I remember your face, you are indeed better than the center of the 76ers." Of course" expression, Tang Qian went on to say: "I will be more serious to you, because you have the qualifications."

"Rajen~Pass the ball~PASS~"
