Chapter 264 Kobe is suffering

On the first day of February 2013, the Timberwolves once again visited the Staples Center to challenge another of the Los Angeles duo.

This is the first time the two teams have played against each other this season, and it is also the first time the Lakers have played against an opponent at the forefront of the Western Conference since the formation of F4.

Kobe stood on the sidelines watching the Wolves youth team, one by one running out of the player tunnel, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Two years ago, this team was still an underdog that anyone could bully. A year ago, Li Yu had just arrived and carried the team into the playoffs, but even so, no one thought that the Timberwolves had the strength to compete for the championship.

If someone said at that time that the Timberwolves' record next season would be the first in the league for a long time, they would have been scoffed at.

Now, the Timberwolves have achieved the No. [-] record in the league and are one of the teams in the Western Conference with the strength to compete for the championship.

In less than two years, the Timberwolves have turned from a belly to a strong team that no one dares to underestimate.

Kobe just felt incredible, that guy is really amazing.

A year ago, he boasted that he didn't need a successor. Now he sincerely hopes that the team can have a super talent, and he is willing to delegate power to train young people.

Many people think that the current talents of the Lakers are amazing enough, such as Nash the Wind, the champion insider Gasol, and the "first center" Howard.

When the team traded Howard, Kobe was indeed very happy. He thought that at the end of his peak, he could partner with a dominant center like Dead Shark, and he could once again attack the O'Brien Cup and even establish a dynasty.

After all, he is not the boy he used to be. He has enough confidence and a strong center to play a dominant performance.

For this reason, he also had an in-depth exchange with Howard, and expressed his willingness to share the ball.

But he was wrong, this happy beast is just like a dead shark, it is a person who "doesn't think about making progress", and even a beast is not as good as a fish in some respects.

Dead Shark was lazy because he had confidence. He was invincible in the penalty area at that time, and he was definitely a BUG-level player.

What about the happy beast?Maybe he can overwhelm all the centers and become the number one center in active service, but so what?
You must know that the current inside players cannot be compared with the players who have been killed by the dead sharks.

Needless to say, Dayao, who had just retired, ruled Howard.

这两人生涯交手九次，大姚7胜2负，场均出战35.3分钟，23.6分10.4板1.2助0.7断2.1帽，霍华德2胜7负，场均出战34.2分钟，12.2分9.8板0.8助1.3断1.7帽。

Whether it is personal data or team record, Dayao has the upper hand.

Kobe couldn't understand why a talented inside player didn't train hard to realize his talent when he didn't dominate the league.

Looking at Howard who dunked during the warm-up training, Kobe felt bitter, why didn't he grow up?
"Li, I will definitely jump to the first strike in this game." Le Fu sat next to Li Yu and said with firm eyes.

"Good luck." Li Yu said with narrowed eyes.

The Lakers have had a bumpy season this season. F4's run-in did not meet expectations, the game was stumbling, and there were occasional mistakes in the game that should not have been made, resulting in losses to some underdogs.However, Li Yu never underestimated his opponent because of this. He felt that as long as Kobe was around, the Lakers would be a tough nut to crack.

F4 didn't run in well, but Howard is a real "first center". Compared with the jump ball, I don't know how many times better than Love, a false center.

Hearing that Le Fu planted the flag and wanted to take the initiative from Howard, Li Yu just listened to a joke.

Laughing at Lefu, laughing at Lefu, this game is still going to be won, not because he wants to maintain the law of bottoming out, but because he wants to beat Kobe.

Ah Shuai held the tactical board between his arms and walked in front of the generals of the Wolves.

"Guys, we have lost two games in a row. Although we are still number one in the league, the Heat and the Thunder are chasing after us. If we lose this game, the Thunder will only be one game away from us, so this I don’t need to say more about the importance of the game.”

The generals of the Wolves team gladly took the lead.

"This game must be won, even if the opponent is F4!"

In a warm atmosphere, the live DJ announced the starting lineups of the two teams.

Timberwolves: Lillard, Li Yu, big brother-in-law, Page, Love.

Lakers: Nash, Kobe, Mehta Waldpeace, Gasol, Howard.

The game officially started, the starting players of the two teams stepped onto the field, and the big centers of the two teams stood in the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.

The law of death when planting a flag is fulfilled in Love. Howard relied on his height and wingspan to wantonly bully Eros, and jumped to the initiative for the Lakers.

Nash got the basketball and caught Kobe rushing forward. He immediately threw the basketball over. The pass was fast and steady. Li Yu tried to ambush but failed.

Kobe received the pass and quickly went to the inside of the Wolves. Taking advantage of the opponent's defense line not being deployed, he directly shot a jumper with a fadeaway. Today, he has a good hand feeling and has no fallback.

Lakers, this wave of offense is very fast.Li Yu estimated in his mind that it took about 6 or 7 seconds from the start of the jump ball to Kobe's fadeaway.

It seems that the Lakers or Kobe's tactics are to play fast-paced?

Obviously the No. 2 position, but Li Yu, who is dribbling, deliberates on the strategy of the Lakers.

Originally, the dribbling job belonged to Lillard, but this kid said he found his own fairway and thought he was a cold-blooded killer, so he put on the skin of the No. 1 position and went to do the job of shooting guard.

Li Yu held the ball with one hand and faced Nash's defense.

Nash only felt that the Timberwolves' coaching staff was inappropriate, and they actually arranged for the big devil to push forward with the ball, so that a young man who was more than two meters tall bullied him, an old comrade who was barely over 190cm tall.

He was determined to defend and was unable to kill the thief, and he couldn't stop the impact of the big devil at all. He watched helplessly as the latter rushed into the interior and scored a jump shot.

Lakers offense.

Kobe ran to the frontcourt, came out from the inside, received a pass from Nash, and was just about to shoot a jumper when he saw the big devil stepping forward to defend.

He had no choice but to give up the plan of shooting, and prepared to pass the defender and hit the inside line. He lowered his center of gravity, slapped the basketball quickly with one hand, and protected his dribbling hand with the other hand to prevent the opponent from taking the ball.

He is very concerned about the young man in front of him, knowing that the other party has excellent ball-digging skills, he dare not be careless.

Bang, slapping the basketball, Kobe turned his back to the defender, tried to push his back, and found that the opponent's foot was very stable.

So he changed his strategy and made a fake shot. Seeing the opponent's body jumping, he quickly broke through from the left.

However, the defender's reaction was very quick, and he followed up immediately. Feeling the pursuit from behind, Kobe gritted his teeth, stopped and got up, jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand.

Swipe, and the basketball hits the net.

2: 4.
