Chapter 781
After Gasol entered the state, the Lakers' offense was too strong to be true. No matter how well the Timberwolves' defense is in place, there will always be omissions.

There are countless chances, which are usually invisible, but Gasol can see them.

This makes defense several times more difficult.

It's still Gasol's show moment.

When Gasol fell to the low post on the strong side, Artest on the weak side wanted to cover Medved for Bynum without the ball so that the Lakers' big center could displace Vashabek in singles.

This two-person transfer didn't work. As a backup tactic or as a temporary cooperation, Kobe made a back and forth movement, throwing away Bai Jidong's high-post catch and scoring directly.

Gasol assumed the role of conductor in this offense and was flawless.

"Paul, this ball is great!" Bryant praised Gasol's passing.

As a result, the point difference returned to 10 points.

Although Bai Jidong's scoring is beautiful, it is not easy every time. Under the instigation of Gasol, the Lakers' scoring is as smooth as clouds and flowing water, which is extremely simple.

Bai Jidong didn't like to counterattack passively like this. The Timberwolves used to like to play hard in the third quarter, using high-intensity defense to kill the opponent and dominate the offense and defense.

Now they can still do that, as long as Bai Jidong can take the lead in blocking Kobe, the others will be able to follow and block their opponents.

Kobe Bryant?It cannot be said that it is impossible, but it is extremely difficult.

At least not now...Bai Jidong was using his brains, thinking of a way to drag the team out of the quagmire, but the game was moving step by step towards the way Zen Master envisioned.

Compared with Zen Master, Casey is more than one level behind in terms of ability and experience. The changes on the court depend on the players' adaptability.

"I told you, you will taste failure here, the Timberwolves dynasty will collapse here, and I..."

Before Kobe finished speaking, Bai Jidong interrupted him impolitely: "Even if you get lucky and beat us to enter the finals, you will still become meat on the chopping board and let Boston slaughter you!"

"Fart, do you think I'm you? I'm not fucking slaughtered!"

Bai Jidong failed to break through Kobe.

It is obviously not a good rhythm to not play an effective offense and control the ball for a long time.

Bai Weidong passed the ball to Medved in the low post.

He originally wanted Medved to overdo it, but Medved mistakenly thought that Bai Jidong wanted him to attack.

So far, Medved has not used any scoring methods other than catch dunks, lob dunks, wide open three-step dunks, and unguarded open space wipers.

As long as someone guards him, his offensive threat is zero.

Medved didn't want to admit it, but it was a fact, and in the end he chose an awkward turn and hook.

What's even more embarrassing is that at the moment of his hook, Bai Jidong took advantage of Vashabek's cover and ran out of the open space, staring helplessly at Medved wasting the opportunity to attack in such a way that he couldn't look directly at him.

"Son of the Long Deer, Good!" Vashabek didn't want to say anything more.

Medved was extremely ashamed, and he didn't know what happened to him just now. He had the urge to get the points back, and then he did the hook.

Can Bai Jidong scold him?Of course, he is the boss, so he can scold whoever he wants.

is this necessary?No.

Medved's choice to attack independently caused him to think-do we have to play tactics step by step?In the face of difficulties, if the method that has been pursued does not work, is there any other way?

It might be a way to let Medved attack. He is the most athletic big man on the court. Of course, he can't be allowed to play like he just did.

We must fight rationally, use our brains, and follow tactics in a disciplined manner.

As long as Medved's talent is used properly, even if he can't develop his own offensive ability, as long as he learns to score near the basket, he can contribute a lot in the game.

The question now is, is Medved ready?Is he ready to open his mouth and eat?
Next, Gasol is a textbook-like high-level support.

When Gasol has the ball, if there is a perimeter player to help double-team, he can pass the ball outside.

If Medved helps defend inside, he can find an opportunity to pass Bynum, or Kobe cuts in without the ball, and Gasol can also delay it and use his passing skills to make a direct layup for Kobe.

And if Medved gives up Bynum's defense, then Bynum may be able to get an alley-oop pass.

Bai Jidong wanted to take away Gasol's ball.

Gasol's hand sucks the ball like a sucker, and he's in too good a shape to give it a chance.

Bynum came up from a high position with a pick-and-roll and a screen, directly creating two opportunities for the Lakers.

One is Kobe's high shot, and the other is Fisher's right three-pointer.Bai Jidong's position was lost, he didn't know which one to guard against.

Gasol believed in Kobe more, and comfortably gave the ball, allowing Kobe to close the offense with a simple open mid-range shot.

"Paul Gasol played the best game of this year's playoffs. If the Lakers can win this game, he must be the biggest contributor tonight!" Kyle shouted.

The magician appreciates Gasol's style of play: "I like this Spanish big man. He is a player who can make his teammates as good as him. Seeing him, I think of Divac."

Casey was about to call a timeout. Before the timeout, Bai Jidong wanted to try the previous plan.

Activating Medved, is it possible?

The teammates saw Bai Jidong call Medved with a clear gesture. If there is no mistake, Medved will cooperate with him in a hand-to-hand pick-and-roll.

With Medved's offensive awareness, they really couldn't imagine the situation where Medved made this attack.

"Son of the Long Deer, you better score this goal!" Vashabek shouted in Strow.

Medved didn't have time to pay attention to him, and ran to the pick-and-roll position according to the tactics, and gave Bai Weidong a pick-and-roll.Then, Bai Jidong handed him the ball.

Bynum didn't expect Bai Jidong to pass the ball like this, and he didn't expect Medved to dribble the ball in and kill after he got the ball.

"OH My god!"

This is the reaction of the Timberwolves bench. When they saw Medved dribble in and kill, they felt that their three views were shattered.

This is?Bourne Medved?
However, the attack was not completed, and the angry Bynum made up for his mistake with a foul.

"Papa papa!" Bai Jidong clapped vigorously.

Vashabek stepped forward and pulled him up: "It should be said that you did a good job."

"I don't think so, I should hit the ball in and cause his foul, so that I can get two points and a free throw!" Medved thought beautifully.

Vashabek snorted coldly: "It's a pity that this world doesn't exist for you, so you can't get what you want. You should do what you can do well."

"You'd better score these two free throws." Vashabek put pressure on Medved again.

Vashabek always did things to Medved that only opponents would do, like laughing at him when he wasn't playing well.

And now give Medved so much free throw pressure.

Medved's free throws were originally inaccurate, and now his hands are shaking.

"Wait until I make a free throw!" Medved yelled.

The more I want to make a good penalty, the worse the penalty is. The first free throw was shot with a good arc and insufficient strength. It just slightly touched the front of the basket. Those with bad eyes may regard this free throw as a three-point shot.

"Good!" laughed from the Lakers.

Medved paid the most attention to Vashabek's reaction, and Vashabek just showed an expression of "As I expected, you really can't make a penalty".

That face was the last thing Medved wanted to see.

"Damn it, I must make you eat back everything you said, damned Stanke, I hate Stank the most!"

Medved gambled on his second free throw in the previous year, and because of too much force, he directly popped out of bounds from the basket, causing the audience to burst into laughter, and the air was full of joy.

"Burne Medved is a very good comedian." Kyle followed suit.

Medved kicked his legs dejectedly, extremely angry.

Bai Jidong was panting, no one noticed that his breathing was more rapid than usual.From the start to now, most of it is him who is holding on. If it weren't for his 20 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, the Lakers' advantage would have been established earlier.

The things predicted by the outside world are coming true one by one, Bai Jidong doesn't want these things to come true, and tries every means to change the situation of the battle.

The gap in combat power is very obvious. The Lakers with the four stars are stronger, and the Timberwolves have better chemistry, but in the face of absolute strength, chemistry is not so important.

The Lakers only need one-third of the chemistry of the Timberwolves to defeat the full chemistry of the Timberwolves.

After this timeout, the Timberwolves replaced Ukic and Yi Jianlian, replaced by Spanoulis and Joe Smith.

Casey wants to increase the firepower of positional warfare, but Spanoulis's performance in the first few games against the Lakers was sluggish, as if the rim was covered, all kinds of iron.

Among them, in Game 2, Spanoulis made 15 of 1 shots and scored 6 points.

Because of such an earth-shattering performance, after that game, there was a popular joke about him on the Internet: Vassilis Spanoulis, the best sixth man in the Western Conference Finals, he led the Lakers to defeat the defending champion Timberwolves! #lakersnation
It is said that Spanoulis couldn't sleep all night after reading this joke because it was written by a Timberwolves fan.

Now that he is playing again, most of the fans at the Staples scene know this joke, booing and cheering for him.

"Vassilis, are you so popular in Target Center?" Bai Jidong asked.

"That's not a funny joke." Spanoulis couldn't help but laugh.

"It seems that this is where your destiny is, and it's time to suggest to the management the trade plan of 'Vassilis for Kobe'." Bai Jidong laughed.

Spanoulis was clearly sad, but he was still amused by Bai Jidong's words.

　After editing, I just got stuck at 3000 words, so I raised my head proudly.
