i just can throw in

Chapter 268 A Wave?
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Timberwolves, except for Lillard, the other four starters returned to the field.

D'Antoni originally planned to let Kobe and Howard rest for a while, recover and play again, but Kobe chose to play, and Howard stayed to rest.

The Lakers' possession.

Nash took the ball to the front court and immediately transferred the ball to Kobe, who broke through and tore the Timberwolves' first line of defense, and went straight into the Wolves' inside line with unabated stamina.

Li Yu went around to the basket in advance and landed in a good position, waiting for the ball holder to attack.

After passing the defender twice in a row, Kobe's impact speed slowed down. He held the ball behind his back and faced the big devil's defense.

His leanback angle is just right, his shot is fast, and it is difficult to be blocked, but the defender jumps high, his arms are opened like a big bird, and the basketball rubs against the opponent's fingertips.

"No more." Kobe sighed, turned around and retreated to his backcourt.

When the Timberwolves attacked, Li Yu pushed the ball to the frontcourt, set up a position outside the three-point line, and observed the situation on the field.

Li Yu is currently playing the No. 1 position, but with Nash's defensive ability, he cannot be effectively restricted, so Kobe switched defenses with Nash and went up to defend the ball holder himself.

After the defender came up, Li Yu immediately turned around and made a forward motion of turning over and leaning back to jump shot.

Seeing that the opponent wanted to turn over and shoot a jumper, Kobe's muscle memory awakened and he made the most suitable move for defending a fadeaway jumper.

But the ball holder raised the basketball with one arm, threw it out without looking at it, and then turned back confidently.

Shoot or pass?Kobe felt a little confused, what was this kid doing, and he was too arrogant to turn around with confidence.

"Beautiful, wonderful no-look pass, the signature pass move of the big devil!"

"No one thought that he made that move to pass the ball. It was really unexpected, and even Kobe was tricked."

Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley are like cross talk actors who have been together for many years.

Love received a pass from the basket and dunked with one arm.

32: 37.

Good guy, it turned out to be a pass, this kid really dares.Kobe took the ball to the frontcourt, and this time the Timberwolves directly sent the big devil to defend him.

Facing the defense of the up-and-coming star, Kobe did not hesitate to choose to use the same method to get the ball when he remembered the iron strike just now.

The same trick was repeated, and the basketball flew out of Kobe's hands.

The arc of the basketball is very beautiful, and the flight trajectory is very positive, but the second iron is reclined, and Kobe's touch in the second quarter feels cold.

On the other hand, the big devil not only felt hot, but also passed the ball very well, and quickly caught up with the score.

Halfway through the second quarter, at 45:45, the scores of the two teams were even. The Lakers relied on Kobe to play almost the entire first quarter, and the lead they worked so hard to build was in vain.

D'Antoni looked at the scores of the two teams and was very angry, from a 7-point lead to a tie.

The Timberwolves' ability to chase points can only be described as abnormal. You must know that one of the Wolves' tridents is left on the court to recharge their batteries.

Once all the starting players of the Timberwolves return, I am afraid that the situation of the Lakers will become more difficult.

"The scoring of the Lakers is not a big problem. It can be said that Kobe's touch is quite normal. If the ball hits, it is not normal.

The main reason why the score was overtaken by the Timberwolves is that the big devil's offense and organization were caught, and neither was bad.

If the Lakers can't solve the big devil, I'm afraid they will lose this game. "

"Lee is a player who can make his teammates better. He can always find the teammates with the best shots on the court to assist them to score. I think the Lakers should find a way to limit his passing. Definitely If you want to double-team, to prevent the opponent from making a pass, you can only choose to attack yourself.

If I were the head coach of the Lakers, I would rather be killed by Lee than watch him lead his teammates away. "

"The momentum of the Timberwolves is up, and there is not much time left for the Lakers."

TNT's commentary for the Big Three rarely agrees, and they are very optimistic about the Timberwolves winning the game.

In fact, in the second half of the second quarter, Lillard returned to the game. In addition to being able to share Li Yu's organizational pressure, he could also bring vitality to the offensive end.

At the end of the half, the score between the two teams was 58:52. In one quarter, the Timberwolves went from being behind by 7 points to leading by 6 points, which was equivalent to beating the Lakers by 13 points in the second quarter.

At the end of the intermission, the Timberwolves held the lead, so they were relaxed in the lineup arrangement. Li Yu and Love stayed to rest, and Lillard led the team alone.

As the lagging side, the Lakers had no choice but to deploy the strongest lineup, thinking that while the big devil was not present, they would quickly even out the difference.

Kobe is Kobe after all, even if he made crazy shots in the first half and didn't score a point, as long as he still dared to take shots on the court, he relied on fadeaway jumpers to recover the score one by one.

In the past 4 minutes of the third quarter, the scores of the two teams were tied again. Kobe planned to overtake the score in one go, but the Timberwolves called a timeout.

The Timberwolves sent: Lillard, Li Yu, JR, Jeff Green, Love.A lineup that is short in height but has super scoring ability.

The Timberwolves attacked. Li Yu received a pass from his teammate on the left wing. He accelerated past the defender and gave the basketball to Love while he was on the move.

Love immediately transferred the ball to Jeff, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, and the latter distributed it to the big devil. After several passes, he got an open shot opportunity.

The Lakers players present and even the commentator thought that Li Yu would seize this opportunity to shoot a three-pointer, but he didn't expect him to throw the basketball out when the offensive clock was about to run out.

Shake it off?The Lakers fans at the scene were very puzzled.

The countdown pass, or the pass to JR who is restricted by the defender, this ball looks like a throw away.

However, to everyone's surprise, JR not only hit a three-pointer, but also got a free throw opportunity.

It's a pity that the free throw was not made, otherwise a "four-pointer" would fool the Lakers.

67: 64.

JR ran up to Li Yu excitedly, and the two clapped hands.

"Boss, the pass just now was too exciting. I just want to shoot such a difficult goal. It feels very fulfilling."

Li Yu shook his head slightly, feeling that this "brother" was abnormal, obviously he was comfortable shooting from an open spot, but he did not take the usual path.

In fact, Li Yu should reflect on himself. Before JR came to the Wolves, although he was good at shooting difficult goals, he was not crazy enough to not shoot difficult goals.

When it came to the Wolves, he turned into JR--not a difficult no-shot-Smith.

This is what Li Yu is used to. Who made him not only pass the open ball, but also create difficult shots.

JR felt that he followed the right boss, and the more he played, the more excited he was, and the feeling was superb.

The rest of the Wolves also had a good touch. They cooperated with each other and played a wave of 18:6, opening up the point difference in one fell swoop.

Kobe was tired, the morale of the others was low, and the Lakers didn't stand a chance.
