Chapter 128 127. Two paddles, ready to fight

The Lakers locker room after the game.

Thackeray: "Guys, the Warriors came back tonight, shouldn't we go out and celebrate?"

Thackeray said excitedly with a white towel on his head.

This guy really doesn't hurt his back while standing and talking. He didn't play a game for a minute, so he must have the energy to go out now.

Nick Young: "Holy shit, I said big bald head, didn't you see that we are all exhausted and going out to celebrate? Why don't you go out by yourself and I'll call you to connect with a type you like? Point guard Kardashian Is that okay?"

Thackeray: "Okay, okay, I like that one the most. After I played with that girl last time, I still can't forget it for a long time!"

Nick Young: "..."

Tang De: "Okay, Nick, pack up quickly, let's go home and rest, I'm so tired, and I feel that there is something wrong with my right leg!"

Baibian: "Brother, you can't make such a joke, if you think there is something wrong, go check it out!"

After Tang De finished speaking, Baibian suddenly became nervous...

Tang De: "It's okay, buddy, it's just a little sore, just rest and rest, let's go, Nick, go drive!"

Sitting in the car, with the window glass down, Tang De comfortably breathed the fresh air outside the window.

The hard work of this day seems to disappear in an instant in this cool evening wind.

“L.A. is beautiful at night!”

Tang De suddenly sighed to himself.

Nick Yang: "Tang, I think you're quite romantic, you're tired like a dog, and you're still in the mood to enjoy the night view?"

Tang De: "Of course, the competition belongs to the competition, and the night scene is still not to be missed, haha~"

Baibian: "Don, what's the situation with you? Tomorrow we still have a home game to play against Phoenix. How about you talk to the coach and see if we can let you take a rest?"

Baibian is really a tough guy. People who have been baptized by the core values ​​of socialism are different, and their consciousness is higher than Nick Yang.

Ever since Tang De said that there seemed to be some problem with his right leg, Bai Bian had been thinking about it.

"I'm fine, don't worry bro, I'll just rest and rest, I promise you that if I still feel unwell tomorrow, I won't play tomorrow's game!"

Nick Young: "Stupid, if Tang says he's fine, he's fine. He's not a kid anymore. Can you still fall in love with him? It's so ambiguous, hahaha."

Baibian: "shit, shut up, if you don't drive well, the labor and management will fire you immediately, and you are not qualified to be a driver!"

Nick Yang: "Okay, big fool, go back and continue fighting the landlord, lose the one called Dad!"

……

After a night of nothing, after a night of rest, all the exhaustion disappeared. On the night of December 12, the Lakers continued to host the Phoenix Suns at home.

Speaking of the Suns, D'Antoni's run-and-bomb tactics were the team's peak moment. In that era, although the Suns failed to win the championship, this team has also had a good time with its fast whirlwind.

As the core of the team, Nash has also won the regular season mvp under D'Antoni's offensive system.

But this is all in the past. The current Suns, without Stoudemire, without Nash, have nothing.

This season, although the team has potential stars such as Dragic and Bresso, it is still not enough to save the Suns.

In general, the Suns without Nash have slowly declined, and have gradually become the real bottom team in the league.

Tonight's game, Tang De only played in the first half, made 9 of 5 shots, scored 12 points and 8 assists, the Lakers easily won the game by 10 points.

The Lakers' best performance in this game was Bai Bian. This guy scored 20 points and 21 rebounds like an animal in the double-twenties!

The 21 rebounds included 7 offensive rebounds, and each offensive rebound was directly converted into a score by the white edge.

Sun's inside line couldn't restrain him at all, and the whole inside line was tossed by Baibian.

After successfully winning the game, the Lakers had one day to adjust, and the whole team seized this day to continue to practice shooting.

On December 12, the Lakers flew to Minnesota again to challenge the Timberwolves.

In the previous game against the Timberwolves, the Lakers won a big victory with a huge advantage of 19 points.

In that game, the Lakers continued to target Love, double-teamed Love, forced him to play, and did not give him a chance to play singles. In the end, the Timberwolves got the Lakers' way and suffered a disastrous home defeat.

In tonight's game, the Lakers' strategy is still the same, which is to double-team Love endlessly.

However, the Timberwolves are clearly well-prepared this time. They know that the Lakers will definitely double-team Love, so the other members of the Timberwolves are actively running throughout the game. They don’t do other useless work, just keep running out of position. Take Love's pass and score!

So after the entire first half of the game, although the Lakers accounted for only 6 points from Love's defense, the Timberwolves unexpectedly ended the first half with a 50:46 lead.

Timberwolves head coach Rick Adelman was a little confused by the score at halftime, and even fell into self-doubt.

Had my previous tactics been wrong all along?
Maybe I've been using Kevin Love wrong all along?
Shouldn't I have arranged so many singles tactics for Kevin Love?
Should I let Kevin Love attract the defense and create opportunities for other players like today?
……

Why did the Lakers double-team Love give Adelman so much inspiration? Could it be that Adelman has found a way to win?

If this is the case, Adelman really wants to thank the Lakers for their kindness, haha~
However, in the second half of the game, the Lakers used their own actions to overthrow Adelman's fantasy.

In the second half of the game, the Lakers still double-teamed Love, but it was a limited and scaled double-team.

In this way, the other players of the Timberwolves will not be able to get such good shooting opportunities in the first half, because after the Lakers double-team Love, they will always quickly return to the Timberwolves players they were supposed to defend.

After the Lakers made such a toss, the Timberwolves slowly began to collapse in the third quarter.

Sure enough, the "three collapses of wolves" lived up to its reputation.

In the end, the game ended. Although the Lakers only won by 6 points, which was not as thorough as the last time, they still won after all. This is the most important thing.

Tang De was still in the state of paddling in this game. Although he played for a long time throughout the game, because he didn't attack with the ball very much, he played without getting tired at all, and it was quite easy.

After the whole game, he scored 15 points and 9 assists.

Without too many stops, the Lakers flew back to LA early the next morning because they had more important games to prepare for.

Tang De is looking forward to the Christmas game against the Heat...
