Chapter 194 Director of each exhibition

There are only 4 places in the first half of the playoffs, but there are now 5 strong teams in the West, so no one wants to fall to fourth and fifth. Since the first round of the playoffs, they have faced strong enemies. Head-to-head confrontation is even more crucial. If they can win, whether it is a psychological advantage or a record advantage, it will be of great significance to the possible encounter in the playoffs.

In the second quarter, the two sides entered the rotation lineup. New Lakers aid Sean Battier played in the purple and gold jersey for the first time. The lineup on the field became Wade, Bell, Battier, West and Nene.

The Timberwolves' backup center is Elvin Johnson, whose name is only one letter different from the famous Lakers magician, but his strength is far apart. He has entered the end of his career and can only contribute 2 points and 3 rebounds per game this season. A pure backup blue-collar that can no longer be pure.

And Elvin Johnson is partnered with Oliver Miller, who is Shaquille O'Neal's peer. His career statistics and performance are mediocre, but he overwhelms O'Neal in one statistic and ranks at the top of the league. That is his weight. Miller, who has a registered weight of 127 kilograms, now weighs more than 160 kilograms. He can be called the No. [-] meat bomb in the NBA. With his figure in his early two meters, he looks like a round ball on the court from a distance. .

Miller's obsession with high-calorie food, even Charles Barkley, who also loves to eat junk food and pays no attention to maintaining his figure, can't stand it anymore. Barkley once commented on Miller "every step he runs is so difficult, even touch Not to the rim, but if you put a Big Mac on the rim, Miller can easily do the dunk."

"It seems that Kevin McHale has considered the Pacers as a potential opponent, using Oliver Miller to deal with O'Neill? Fortunately, he can figure it out." Jim scoffed at the "inflated" McHale's decision, O'Neal did not It's not just the existence of brute force. If just a fat man can withstand O'Neal, the Sharks can't be called one of the most dominant players in history.

Miller is facing David West. Although he entered the league as a senior, West's body is already considered strong among rookies, but compared with Miller, he is still three circles smaller. Glancing at the opponent, West resolutely gave up his plan to fight Miller, and mentioned a high position to cover for Wade.

Timberwolves' backup point guard is veteran Darrick Martin. He is only 1 meters tall. He has to defend 80 meters. Wade is young, strong and fast. It is a bit difficult. Oliver Miller can't get out of the pick-and-roll. , Wade borrowed West's cover, easily broke through to the free throw line, and made an emergency stop jumper.

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, and Fred Hoiberg, the only reliable pitcher in the rotation, went around the screen twice in a row with Raja Bell close to him, and Darrick Martin dribbled for 20. The second ball didn't pass out in a daze, and in the end he pulled it out reluctantly and missed.

Nene overwhelmed Elvin Johnson and grabbed the backcourt rebound violently.

Oliver Miller is still dragging his fat body to the backcourt. Here, Wade has received a pass from Nene and has already chased the wind and electricity to start a fast break. A large European step forward Darrick Martin Shaking into a stake, he scored an easy layup, which caused a lot of exclamations in the stadium.

This fast break is also good for Miller, he doesn't have to run back and forth on the court.

Seeing that the team lost 4 points in a row, Timberwolves head coach Saunders shouted anxiously on the sidelines, directing the players on the field.

Darrick Martin has been in the league for many years, and his mind is still clear. Seeing that Hoiberg was basically caught by Raja Bell, he immediately passed the ball to Oliver Miller on the inside, hoping that Miller would take advantage of it. The size advantage kills the inside line.

After Miller received the ball, he forcibly crushed it inward. West, who was more than 100 catties lighter than him, couldn't stand it at all, and was squeezed to the basket in two hits.Miller turned around and made a layup on the spot.

The Lakers still controlled the ball by Wade, still aiming at Miller's inflexible footsteps, and West pulled him out to make a wall to find misplacement. This time, Miller's selection was slightly forward to prevent Wade from shooting. But after Wade read the defense, he rushed over with an acceleration.

On the weak side, Hassell is worthy of the name of a defensive expert. He helped defend the basket at the first time and stretched his hands to make Wade an offensive foul. , throwing the ball with both hands to Battier who has already set up a turret on the weak side corner.

When Hoiberg, who was rotating defensively, reacted and rushed to defend Battier, Battier had already calmly aimed at the basket, shot a three-pointer, and accurately hit his first goal on behalf of the Lakers.

Darrick Martin dribbles slowly upfield, waiting for Oliver Miller to settle.Here, Wade has already retreated back. When passing by the Lakers bench, Zen master got up and explained to him.

The Timberwolves intend to follow suit and let Miller continue to use his tonnage advantage to crush the inside line.

West still couldn't bear Miller's back attack, so he could only fight and retreat, shrinking the basket and raising his hands to prevent fouls.

Miller turned around for a small hook shot. There was no hamburger on the rim, and he couldn't complete a two-handed dunk.

As soon as the ball left his hand, Miller felt the wind blowing over his head.

Wade, who had been eyeing him for a long time, was waiting for the moment when he let down his vigilance and made a shot. A big hat directly slapped the basketball towards the commentary booth.

Raja Bell started, flew the ball back to the activated Battier before the ball flew out of bounds, fell heavily on the floor, and Wade, who had just completed a wonderful block, overtook all the way. gallop forward.

Shane Battier was not greedy for credit at all, passed the ball to Wade, and dunked a dozen zero tomahawks.

Sanders immediately called a timeout and played for 3 minutes in the second quarter. The Lakers went 9-2 and opened the point difference to 12 points.

"Honestly, when you traded Ben Wallace and Brad Miller, I beat you up in the head a few times. Now it seems that this Dwyane kid is really good. He may be Our next James Worthy." Nicholson, who must come to the home court every time, looked at Wade who was celebrating passionately with his teammates, and couldn't help sighing.

"No disrespect to 'big game James', but I hope Dwyane can surpass him. Now our opponent is not only the Celtics. I think, if it is not for the salary cap rules and the upper limit of the roster, Mark Cuban will probably sign everyone he can think of." After Jim finished speaking, he also stood up and high-fived the players one by one.

After the timeout, the Lakers switched back to Kobe and Billups. Just now Bell hit the technical table and scratched his arm while saving the ball. The positive and negative values ​​of the numbers complete the task.
