Chapter 492.
After defeating the Warriors at home, the Lakers got back on track and won five consecutive victories.

Continue to sit in Staples with a high-pressure attitude to face the visiting Timberwolves. The two teams met three times before, and the Lakers won easily.

On January 1th, the Timberwolves, who had lost four straight, came to Los Angeles.In the middle of the season, their core player Jimmy Butler was traded to the 24ers, in exchange for three players.

The Timberwolves, who are short of major generals, put Rose in the starting lineup. The starting point guard Teague and teenager Tyus Jones are both absent due to injuries, and the high-quality 3D Covington, who was exchanged from Philadelphia, was also unable to play.

The Timberwolves are full of injuries, and the main rotation players of the Lakers can play.

After the opening, the Lakers entered the state. After 7-2, Rondo made a three-pointer to stop the Timberwolves.

The team from Minnesota just fired Thibodeau and Ryan Sanders took over temporarily. Obviously, the interim coach can't solve the strength gap between the team and the Lakers.

After the first quarter, the Lakers scored 37 points and only allowed their opponents to score 22 points.

Yingge is going to shine tonight. In the past month, he has averaged 24+8 All-Star data per game. Tonight, he scored 14 points in the first quarter, and he is fully fired.

Yingge won the matchup with Wiggins, making the talented "Brother Gouqi" suffer continuously on both offense and defense.

Lin Feng continued his outstanding performance. He played in the last 3 minutes of the first quarter and scored [-] points in [-] of [-] shots.

When his teammates perform well, Lao Zhan will retreat to the second line and pass the ball to them.

LeBron sent out six assists in the first quarter. With him on the court, the Lakers' offense was very rhythmic.

After the break, the Timberwolves' bench lineup played a wave of 9-2 counterattacks.But Lin Feng quickly took control of the situation, allowing the Lakers to regain the initiative, and responded with a wave of 7-0 to fill the gap in a single quarter.

Wharton continued to implement his tactics. As the second quarter progressed, Lin Feng was equipped with two outside sniper rifles, Hart and Mikhailuk. At the same time, Howard took care of the basket, and Kuzma acted as a ranger, or inside or Harassment of opponents in the field.

There are two old fritters sitting on the court, Finsen and Beasley, and they can go on the court at any time to participate in the game.

This lineup is the most proud of the coaching staff, because they can almost blow up the entire league's bench lineup, even the Clippers with the best sixth man will feel uncomfortable when they meet them.

Mikhailuk's hard training has impressed the coach, and since his debut, he has been entrusted with an important task tonight.

He scored a three-pointer on the field to help the team continue to expand its lead.

Regardless of starting or coming off the bench, the Timberwolves simply cannot parry the Lakers' powerful offensive capabilities.

At the beginning of the season, their boss once said harshly that this year's goal is the Western Conference Finals.The luxurious combination of the double champion and Butler once made the Minnesotans living in a cold place infinitely imaginative.

Since the "Wolf King" Garnett retired, they have become a veritable underdog. Even a team that has been bad all year round can use the Timberwolves to move their muscles.

Withstood the opponent's counterattack momentum in the second quarter, the Lakers' bench lineup played more and more smoothly under the leadership of Lin Feng.

Howard dunks under the basket, making veteran Tolliver miserable.

Mikhailiuk made another three-pointer, and the Ukrainian found his confidence. It is said that after playing the Warriors, Mikhail worked hard on the three-pointer, and it was effective tonight.

Timberwolves coach Ryan Sanders had to replace Towns and Rose early to try to stabilize the situation.

"Wind City Rose" bloomed again, and when he came back, he fouled Howard continuously at the basket. Wharton had to send Zubac to play too much time.

Lin Feng and Rose faced each other, and the two staged several rounds of confrontation, which made the Staples fans excited.

Although he has a "sixth sense", Lin Feng can't completely block Rose. That guy has been training day and night, and now he shows signs of returning to the top.

There will be parallel imports for the champion, but the MVP will not be cheap. Even after going through the trough, Rose still faces everything bravely and calmly.

At the end of the half, the Lakers led 75-60 by 15 points. Except for Rose who scored 10 points, the Timberwolves scored in double figures.

The Lakers are more blooming. Walton played two completely different lineups in the first two quarters. 11 players played the game. This is quite rare in the entire league. Their lineup thickness is already at the forefront of the league.

In the second half, he changed sides and fought again. Towns scored 7 points in a row in the interior, helping the team to bring the point difference back to single digits.Wharton quickly paused, dispatched troops, and returned to the starting lineup one after another.

This is the second of the Lakers' four consecutive home games, and with two days off, the team has enough physical fitness to deal with tonight's game.

In the second half, the Timberwolves played a wave of offense under the leadership of Towns. Wiggins made a kill at the basket to add to the icing on the cake, and once narrowed the point difference to five points.But as Lao Zhan returned to control the field, Lin Feng played the role of the terminator, and a wave of 12-0 quickly killed the game.

In the second half of the last quarter, the team from Minnesota gave up completely, and the two sides sent substitutes to play. In the end, the Lakers won a big victory 133-109 at home without any risk.

Lin Feng scored 22 points and 8 rebounds. Yingge continued to play at a high level and scored 14 points on 8 of 20 shots.

On the Timberwolves side, Towns scored a game-high 37 points and 15 rebounds, but more often than not he fell into the predicament of going it alone. The Lakers cut off the connection between him and his teammates very well, unable to change the outcome.

After this game, the Lakers once again tied the No.2 Nuggets in the Western Conference rankings, ranking No.3 in the relationship between victory and defeat.

Three days later, the team continued to sit at the Staples Center to face the Suns, the last in the West.Having two superstars, Ayton and Booker, has not changed the true nature of their slender team. So far, they have only won 9 games, and only the Knicks in the East who want Zion can match them.

The dialogue between the No. 18 pick in 60 and the [-]th pick is a bright spot. Although they have different positions on the court, every time Lin Feng hits the basket with the ball, he will cheer.

Before the game, the league hyped up the duel between the two rookies, but the huge gap between the strengths of the teams made the game somewhat lackluster.

Ayton is very capable, there is no doubt about it.Lin Feng pulled Zhuangyuan Lang to the outside singles again and again, which made the proud Los Angeles fans extremely proud.Although they didn't have the No. [-] pick, they selected a player with the strength of the No. [-] pick!

Indeed, at present, Lin Feng has surpassed Doncic again on the rookie list, and is once again a strong contender for the best rookie of the year.

It is reasonable for the Lakers to win the Suns. Lin Feng and Lao Zhan scored 70 points together, which made the entire league see their terrifying offensive power.Of course, Lao Zhan scored 42 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists and scored a triple-double. Lin Feng scored a quasi-triple-double with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists.

At the last moment of the game, the whole team tacitly helped Lin Feng "get" assists, but unfortunately his teammates were still unable to send the ball into the basket.But this is nothing, Lin Feng is still very young, and there will be many opportunities to continue to create miracles in the future.
