NBA peak Jordan template

Chapter 53 Oh my god, am I dazzled? Why are you here, Maikou?

In the Timberwolves locker room, Thibodeau is doing his best to motivate the players. After halftime trailing by 8 points, the Timberwolves are not prepared to surrender. The third quarter will be the key.

"Think about it, in front of the Lakers fans, to end their winning streak, that's what we're here at Staples Center!"

"Each of us must stand up!"

"They are a brand new team, tacit understanding is our advantage! Let the ball spin!"

The Timberwolves players left the locker room with firm eyes.

The third quarter officially started.

Thibodeau's incentives were effective, and the wolf cubs started a counterattack on the offensive end.

In an offensive and defensive transition round, Zheng Long didn't pay attention. Wiggins had already reached the frontcourt and received a long pass from Rubio.

After receiving the ball, Wiggins chose to take off directly at the free throw line, smashed the ball into the basket, and screamed to the sky after landing!

"Oh ho ho ho! Wiggins completed a free throw line dunk in actual combat!"

"It seems as simple as drinking water to him!"

"This time the dunk is very critical, and I played with momentum. Obviously, the Timberwolves are going to fight the Lakers in the third quarter!"

In addition to Wiggins, LaVine also stood up and faced Butler's death-wound defense.

LaVine took a step outside the three-point line, and after receiving a pass from Rubio, he chose to shoot without hesitation.

Basketball hits the net!

Then, in the next offensive round, he came to the bottom corner through the cover of Towns, and once again faced Jokic to complete a three-pointer.

Scored two three-pointers in a row!

Six points in a row!

This goal made LaVine excitedly pump his fist to celebrate. At this moment, besides dunking, he seemed to have found new fun.

Downs put his hands on his brother's shoulders.

"Hey man, for today's game, you're Minnesota Curry!"

"No, you are better than Curry!"

"You can still dunk!"

Curry: Take everything you want and turn memories into wind~
If it weren't for Butler to complete an inside cut and score two points.

The Timberwolves tied the score.

Lakers 57:55 Timberwolves!
In the offensive round of the Lakers, the offense of this ball is particularly critical, and the momentum of the Timberwolves must be extinguished.

After Oladipo received the ball and came to the frontcourt, he carefully looked for opportunities and did not choose to attack rashly.

Jokic took the initiative to come to the top of the arc to cover and successfully received a pass from Oladipo.

Jokic raised his hands, holding the basketball.

This time, Zheng Long took the initiative to sneak into the inside line, and he had to start acting before this kid played the alley-oop.

When Jokic saw Zheng Long move, he also passed the ball with both hands.

However, this is a false biography!
He looked at Zheng Long, but sent the ball to Oladipo on the other side.

This ball almost deceived Oladipo, but fortunately Oladipo was focused enough.

Zheng Long's inside cut attracted the defense of the Timberwolves players, and they quickly shrunk the line of defense, and Towns and Wiggins double-teamed.

This caused Oladipo to fall into a brief unguarded moment.

And Jokic seized the fleeting opportunity.

The Audi Diamond sports car was slightly adjusted to complete this mid-range hit.

Lakers 59:55 Timberwolves.

Stop the bleeding in time!

Thibodeau's heart sank because of LaVine's two life-saving three-pointers.

This little fat man's golf quotient is too high!
He just staged a blatant fraud on the field!

He sent the ball to the right place the first time!

Fortunately, in the next offensive round, Towns was not willing to completely become Jokic's toy.

He completed a forced slam dunk at the rim and drew a thug foul from Jokic.

"The slam dunk response from Towns! Too tough! He is affecting the game in his own way!"

The current Downs has not yet met Cousins ​​at his peak, and he is now full of confidence.

Lakers 59:58 Timberwolves.

The score was overtaken again.

The three young men of the Timberwolves work together, and it is a talent to fight!
Towns's slam dunk also successfully wiped out Jokic's smiling face.

Zheng Long couldn't help but slipped to Jokic's side and made a joke.

"Hey, little fat man, if you are willing to pay me 100 dollars, I can help you bully the big guy on the opposite side."

Jokic understood Zheng Long's meaning, but his eyes were full of doubts.

After all, Zheng Long is just a defender, and Towns is very flexible, unlike ordinary centers.

But driven by curiosity, Jokic agreed to the deal.

Jokic also wants to see what else the "scavenger" can do!
The next offensive round.

After Zheng Long received the ball from the flank, he used Jokic's cover to complete the matchup with Towns. Towns was worried about Zheng Long's accelerated breakthrough, but Zheng Long took the ball in his hands leisurely .

When Zheng Long came to the middle distance position, he turned his back to Towns.

This action confused Downs. Is this bald man trying to hit me on the back?

Outside the three-point line, Jokic was also full of curiosity.

Then, after a slight adjustment, Zheng Long turned over, took off, and completed the shot!
Fallback jump shot!

Zheng Long's shot was so sudden that Downs didn't react at all. He could only reach out to interfere, but he found desperately that he couldn't touch it at all without taking off.

The basketball passed over Downs' head and went into the basket!
Jokic laughed and gave Zheng Long a high five.

"You still know this!"

Although Jokic doesn't know how to shoot a fallback jumper, he knows the awesomeness of this technique.

The most amazing thing about the fadeaway is that it is no-level singles, as long as you jump high enough and your shot is stable enough.

Invincible at the same height, but mostly invincible in small fights!

The only thing that can stop a fadeaway jumper is the shooter's own touch!

"I know too much, how about it, do you want to continue to pay?"

Jokic was dumbfounded: "What do you mean? Just one ball for $100?"

"What do you think? You are welcome to visit at any time. I only charge you $100 for beating Downs. If you meet some difficult guys, you have to pay more."

Zheng Long showed the expression of a profiteer.

I have to say that when you meet a happy fruit like Jokic, you can easily feel happy.

first time.

Zheng Long felt the atmosphere and happiness of the team.

Lakers 61:58 Timberwolves.

The game continues.

The scores of the two teams have indeed not been opened, but whenever the Timberwolves draw the score closer, there is a tendency to overtake.

There will always be someone from the Lakers who can stand up and kill this sign.

Oladipo can't beat Jokic, and Jokic can't beat Butler.

When all three of the above are missed.

Zheng Long came out.

Missed?

nonexistent.

Zheng Long only needs a little shot to push the Timberwolves to the limit.

When the third quarter ended, the Lakers continued to lead by about 5 points and entered the fourth quarter.

For the Timberwolves, this taste is uncomfortable.

The three Timberwolves have tried their best, but they still haven't seen the dawn of victory.

In their hearts, that bald No. 23 is the most hateful.

He seems to be a demon, staring at them in the shadows all the time, as long as he is there, victory is in sight.

They are even willing to be beaten in the third quarter, and they are not willing to endure this torture, so they must grit their teeth and continue working.

Fortunately, Zheng Long didn't torture them for too long.

Jokic's physical strength has reached its limit, and Zheng Long does not want his new teammates to be exhausted in the first game.

After the start of the fourth quarter, in half a quarter, Zheng Long turned on the full power mode, taking over the team's offense and leading the defense.

Leading the Lakers to a 20:6 offensive climax completely killed the suspense of the game.

It wasn't until then that the Timberwolves realized they had been tricked.

When the game will end is not up to him to decide, it depends on whether the bald No. 23 on the opposite side has played enough.

The young wolf cubs tasted failure again.

The trio of Towns, Wiggins, and LaVine stared blankly at the bench.

Before entering the NBA, they were all the favored children of heaven, the objects of the media's pursuit, and the stars who led the school team to kill the Quartet.

But the reality is so cruel.

In the NBA, five stars go everywhere, four stars are not as good as dogs!

Thibodeau can only replace the water dispenser player and raise the white flag to surrender.

The head coach who once led the Bulls to two league firsts is full of worries about the future.

This western is outrageous.

However, Thibodeau still forced himself to cheer up and comfort the players.

"It's okay kids, your talent is unique, as long as you train hard, we will eventually win it back!"

Yes, talent.

Thibodeau actually wants to admit that there is only talent left on the team now.

But there is also a gap between talents.

Obviously, the talents of the wolf cubs of the Timberwolves are focused on their bodies, but not on their golf quotient.

This is why they fail so often.

Look at that little fat guy who is still drinking Coke on the bench, he can't jump high, and he can't run fast.

But it can drive the whole team and connect the teams.

It is also a talent.

Unless you have the overwhelming power of Shaquille O'Neal, in this way, you will be able to withstand 50.00% of the free throws and win four NBA championships.

That's what deserves to be called a talent.

The atmosphere at Staples Stadium was cheerful, and fans danced to the beat of the music.

Seven consecutive victories!The new Lakers did not disappoint the fans!
And the fans saw new hope in this game. From the perspective of talent on paper, except for Zheng Long and Ingram, the new Lakers are a group of last-round picks or even second-round picks, but it is obvious that the game is better than the previous Lakers. more interesting.

Princes and generals, I would rather be kind!
The fat guy in the second round left a deep impression on the fans.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the home fans sent applause to the Lakers boys on the court.

At Walton's behest, the Lakers players waved to the fans to thank them.

The players beamed and hugged each other.

Nothing builds team spirit faster than a win.

In the NBA, there is only one team atmosphere, and that is winning!
this match.

约基奇全场出战28分钟，15分10助攻5篮板1盖帽。

巴特勒全场出战32分钟，16分3助攻4篮板2盖帽2抢断。

郑龙全场出战36分钟，29分0助攻2篮板1盖帽1抢断。

Jokic got a double-double in the first game, and Butler also filled his data column. As for Zheng Long, he scored 15 points efficiently in only 29 shots.

Post-match press conference.

Wharton was proud of the spring breeze, and changed his nervous and irritable mood during the pre-match press conference.

Winning is the best tranquilizer!
"Jokic's performance today is indeed surprising. He is full of imagination and creativity on the court."

"Oladipo is very aggressive on the perimeter, he's very fast and he's going to be a really good perimeter blocker."

"Butler? He's an All-Star! He can do everything the team wants him to do!"

When the reporter asked Zheng Long related topics, Wharton made a small joke.

"His performance was not satisfactory this time, and he only scored 29 points. I will have a good talk with him when I go back."

Of course, the Lakers players were surrounded by media reporters.

Zheng Long lost his favor today, and the reporters wanted to stuff the microphone into Jokic's mouth.

As Wharton said, he "only" scored 29 points today, which seemed mediocre, but the little fat man in front of him caught the eyes of all the media.

This could be the next star to shine in Los Angeles!

Zheng Long was happy to be at leisure.

Jokic seemed very nervous, without his usual relaxation and naughtiness. When he was in Denver Nuggets, there had never been so many media reporters, and they almost filled the press conference.

"I've fallen in love with Los Angeles, I love playing here, the new teammates are great."

No, you are not completely in love yet.

Zheng Long wondered in his heart when he would take Jokic to gain knowledge and enjoy the wonderful nightlife in Los Angeles.

It's not interesting to make Butler's silt blacker, but it's interesting to let Jokic's silly white sweetness be dyed by the big ink tank in Los Angeles.

Butler is indeed an old fritters.

After the players returned to the locker room, Jokic recounted the aftermath of the press conference scene.

He saw with his own eyes that Butler asked for the contact information of three female reporters on the grounds of an exclusive interview.

Butler, who was exposed by Jokic, didn't care, and even took out three small notes, generously expressing that he can get what he wants.

"I'm happy to share."

"I just don't know if it suits your taste."

"By the way, little fat man, aren't you still a virgin?"

These words made Jokic blush, "I have a girlfriend! I have been in love since high school!"

"But you didn't answer my question directly, Farke, what about pure love?"

"I don't want to discuss these personal matters with you."

"Oh, then you remember to drink less Coke, that thing kills sperm."

The locker room roared with laughter and the atmosphere was very happy.

Ingram also leaned into Zheng Long's ear, "Brother Long, I already like the current team a little bit."

本场比赛英格拉姆替补登场14分钟，取得了7分1助2篮板1盖帽。

Zheng Long nodded. In fact, he didn't expect that Jokic and Butler could mix together and create a good chemical reaction.

Everything is going in a good direction.

Soon, after the game, the performance of the new Lakers caused heated discussions on the Internet.

Before, the Lakers seemed to be Zheng Long's team alone, and Zheng Long needed to score [-] or [-] points to win.

But now, Jokic and Butler can help Zheng Long share the offensive pressure.

A certain fan posted a photo of the trio on the court and wrote, "The new Big Three of the Lakers!"

This post aroused many replies from netizens.

[What's so good about the Lakers' ball?Waking up is another victory]

[Jokic's performance impressed me deeply, this is already his second season?I didn't know anything about him before. 】

[Obviously, he has made great progress. 】

【Big Three?It’s too much, buddy, look at the Big Three in history, the Heat, the Celtics, and the current Warriors, the Lakers haven’t fought a tough battle yet]

[Too exaggerated, but I like your title, because I am optimistic about their future]

[Trading Shuila is the most correct decision of the Lake Management, he has always been the second most water in my heart]

Just when netizens were discussing hotly, the Lakers didn't have time to pay attention to those.

The creation of a new tactical system was imminent. One morning, a gray-haired old man was brought into the arena by Wharton.

The players looked at the old man curiously, not knowing Wharton's intentions.

When the old man introduced himself, the players were all over the place.

The old man in front of him is Tex Winter!

If you are unfamiliar with this name, the title of "Father of Triangle Offense" is enough to make you look sideways.

The triangle offensive tactic, as the core tactic for the Bulls to establish a dynasty, was once one of the most advanced and unsolvable tactics in the league.

And Tex Winter was the assistant coach of Phil Jackson when he was the head coach of the Bulls.

He developed the triangle offense, implemented it with Phil Jackson, and thrived on it.

When Phil Jackson took over the Lakers in 1999, Winter also came over. The two continued to rely on the triangle offensive tactic, hoping to make the Lakers the next Bulls.

And the Lakers successfully won three consecutive championships from 2000 to 2003, and two consecutive championships from 2009 to 2010.

During this period, the triangle offensive tactic has always been the core tactic of the Lakers.

It can be said that the triangle offensive tactics have made Phil Jackson, the Bulls and the Lakers.

Now with the development of the league, the triangle offensive tactic may not be the most advanced tactic, but the Lakers can't think of any tactic that is more suitable for the Lakers today.

Zheng Long, Butler, and Jokic, three players with excellent golf quotient and personal ability, are simply the perfect template for triangle offensive tactics.

The best choice is of course to invite Phil Jackson, but he has now become the president of the Knicks.

Moreover, he is no longer the "son-in-law" of the Lakers.

He parted ways with current Lakers owner Jenny Buss not long ago.

Wharton had to settle for the next best thing, and invited Tex Winter over.

Fortunately, although Winter was already half a foot into the coffin, he still looked energetic because of Wharton's invitation.

An assistant who can develop great plays.

How can you not love your job?
The players rushed to introduce themselves to Winter, and when it was Zheng Long's turn.

Winter wiped his reading glasses.

"Oh my God, am I dazzled? Why are you here, Mike?"

Zheng Long:.
　Good evening!Little bosses!
