I'm really strong in basketball

Chapter 88

Lakers offense.

Ma Long continued to cover Liu He.

As soon as Liu He got the ball, Ma Long went straight to the basket.

Garnett stared at Liu He, and Liu He quickly passed the ball to Malone.

This time, Garnett didn't dare to let Liu He go, and went to help defend Malone. This guy is too accurate!
But he didn't help defend, and Hassel couldn't hold Malone at all.

Malone entered the penalty area all the way, and Olowokandi could only rush to defend Malone.

Malone immediately passed the ball to O'Neal.

Facing the unguarded basket, O'Neal jumped lightly and put the ball into the basket.

8: 4.

O'Neill grinned widely.

Made, who has never played such an easy game in his life, was let out.

This is actually the role of Malone.

On the defensive end, he can help O'Neal go out to defend the pick-and-roll.

On the offensive end, he can play the pick-and-roll, and he can also support and pass the ball.

Malone has always had this ability, but he was unwilling to do so at the beginning of the season, but now, his mentality has changed and he is willing to make sacrifices for the championship.

At this time, a chemical reaction naturally occurs.

Timberwolves offense.

Garnett continued to support at the free throw line, and Sprewell forced Kobe out of the way, catching and shooting.

Swish!
8: 6.

The tough player of this Timberwolves team has to be "Madman" Sprewell.

Garnett is too versatile, and his offensive ability is not that strong.

Cassell is also a traditional point guard, not a combo guard who is good at scoring.

Sprewell is the only hard solution.

Lakers offense.

Liu He continued to play pick-and-roll with Malone, Garnett did not dare to defend Liu He, and stared at Liu He.

Ma Long took the opportunity to enter the penalty area.

Coach Flip Saunders stood up and shouted loudly: "The basket! Shrink the basket!"

Except for Garnett, everyone in the Timberwolves compressed to the basket.

O'Neal, who received the ball, found that he had no chance, but saw Kobe on the outside, and immediately distributed the ball.

Kobe made an open three-pointer.

Swish!
11: 6.

Timberwolves offense.

Sprewell made another mid-range jumper.

11: 8.

Looking back, the Lakers continued to rely on Liu He and Malone's pick-and-roll opportunities, and Payton hit a mid-range shot one step inside the three-point line.

Swish!
13: 8.

Except for Malone, the other four players on the Lakers team have all bloomed, and all points have been activated.

Timberwolves offense.

Sprewell failed to continue the magic and was finally defended by Kobe for the next round.

But the Lakers continued their firepower. Kobe entered the penalty area, not only scored a layup, but also caused a foul by Olowokandi.

Played 2+1!

Bryant walked to the free throw line and made a solid free throw.

16: 8.

The Timberwolves, who were leading 4:0 at the start, were reversed in an instant, and at this moment they are already behind by 8 points.

Coach Flip Saunders called a timeout immediately.

Beep!
On the Timberwolves bench, Sanders nervously arranged tactics.

On the contrary, on the Lakers bench, Phil Jack was full of joy: "Kids, continue to maintain this state. Play resolutely if you have a chance, and take your time if you don't have a chance."

The current Lakers team is simply too perfect. Phil even felt that he was a little redundant, so he managed to squeeze out a few words.

If you don't say anything, isn't it true that the Lakers can win with a dog on the bench?
Back from the timeout, the Timberwolves attack.

Cassel broke through and received a jumper with an emergency stop.

Swish!
16: 10.

It can be regarded as blood for the Timberwolves.

Lakers offense.

Liu He found that the person defending him became "Madman" Sprewell.

Hearing his nickname, everyone must think that this guy is very arrogant and not easy to mess with.

But after several contacts, Liu He found that this guy was not bad, at least he didn't talk trash.

It can even be said that this guy is a bit taciturn and doesn't like to talk.

Of course, just because he doesn't talk trash doesn't mean his defense is bad.

Sprewell entered the second defense in the second year of his career, and O'Neal, who was in the same class as him, only entered the third team in the second year and did not enter the defense.

Of course, there were reasons for the fierce competition for the center position at the time, but Sprewell's own ability cannot be denied.

Facing Malone's cover, Sprewell got stuck in the position ahead of time, then squeezed past Malone and followed Liu He.

How tough!
Sprewell followed Liu He, so Garnett didn't have to switch defenses, and Malone missed the opportunity to displace big and small.

Liu He glanced at the situation and quickly handed the ball to Kobe.

Kobe facing Hassel should be the easiest point on the court to play.

Sure enough, after Kobe continued to test, he suddenly started, went into the penalty area to attract double-teams, and then gave the ball to O'Neal.

O'Neal scored with a dunk.

boom!
18: 10.

Timberwolves offense.

Cassel points the ball to Hassel, who misses the shot.

The Lakers played a wave of defensive counterattacks. Liu He received Payton's ground pass and dunked with both hands.

boom!
20: 10.

Seeing that it was only the first quarter, the difference between the two sides has opened to double digits.

The atmosphere in the target center instantly cooled down.

Looking back, Cassel attacked with the ball and shot a cold arrow at the top of the arc.

Swish!
20: 13.

Mad Men and Aliens were exceptionally solid tonight.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually warmed up.

Lakers offense.

Kobe broke through the ball, but was intercepted by Garnett's long arm.

The Timberwolves played a fast break, and Sprewell scored a layup against Payton.

Swish!
20: 15.

Kassel and Sprewell scored 5 points in a row and narrowed the difference again.

But immediately, the Lakers made another effort to widen the point difference.

End of first quarter, 30:21.

The Lakers led by 9 points.

As soon as the second quarter came back, the head coaches of both sides just let the bench transition a little bit, and immediately replaced the full main lineup.

First of all, these two teams are strong enough to start, and the bench is not deep.

The second is that both sides regard this game as very important and cannot tolerate the slightest slack.

Lakers offense.

After Ma Long and Liu He picked and rolled, they went to the basket.

Liu He was entangled by Sprewell and immediately passed the ball to Malone.

Facing Garnett, Malone pretended to pass the ball, but suddenly rushed to the basket against Garnett.

Garnett couldn't wait to guard, and was rushed into the penalty area by the veteran Malone, making a strong shot.

32: 21.

The point difference widened to double digits for the second time.

The Timberwolves are in crisis for the second time.

At the critical moment, Sprewell stood up.

He broke through the penalty area and missed a shot under O'Neal's interference.

But Olowokandi picked up an offensive rebound and succeeded in the second offense.

32: 23.

Looking back, Sprewell blocked Liu He's shot again, and the Timberwolves launched a counterattack.

Taking advantage of the unstable defense of the Lakers, Sprewell suddenly accelerated, entered the penalty area and caused O'Neal's foul, and got two free throws.

In anticipation of the Minnesota fans, Sprewell made two free throws steadily.

32: 25.

The point difference narrowed again.

Sprewell and Cassel are old, but they can still hold the ground for Garnett.

The two teams continued to fight.

In the second half of the second quarter, O'Neal showed great power, first received a pass from Payton and scored, then grabbed an offensive rebound and scored, and then robbed Olowokandi in the low post.

O'Neal scored 6 points in a row, helping the Lakers expand the point difference to double digits for the third time.

But soon, Garnett turned over and succeeded in a jumper, and then responded from the free throw line to help Cassel hit a three-pointer.

The Timberwolves narrowed the point difference for the third time.

Halftime is over.

57: 52.

The Timberwolves were only 5 points behind.

Beep!
As the halftime whistle sounded, the Target Center Arena burst into cheers, and all Minnesota fans cheered for the home team together.

Tonight, they saw a tenacious Timberwolves team.

Was beaten by the Lakers several times, and caught up with the point difference several times.

It fully expresses the tenacious character of the wolf.

Wolves live up to their reputation.

In the last battle, the wildness and tenacity of the wolves were indeed displayed.

Garnett was interviewed immediately. He said in the interview: "Everything is still under control. Although we are a little behind, we still have great hopes of winning. In the second half, I will do my best to play the last game well." Fight and keep the victory in Minnesota."

His words once again inspired the Minnesota fans, but also the entire Timberwolves team.

Soon, the intermission is over.

The two sides changed sides and fought again.

The Timberwolves played amidst the cheers of the fans, and Garnett was so excited that he spat trash talk at Liu He as soon as he came up.

"Peachy, see? Everyone knows I'm going to win, and you're going to go back to L.A. losing."

Liu He smiled: "If this was a hard-talking competition, you did win. Unfortunately, this is a basketball game."

Garnett's level of trash talking is really not good, and he fell into a disadvantage again, but he was strong enough, and immediately fought back: "When I played basketball, you didn't even grow hair."

This is to show off his qualifications with Liu He.

Garnett entered the NBA in 95 and is currently in his ninth season. His career was a year earlier than Kobe's.

And Liu He is a rookie.

Compared with qualifications, Garnett really won.

But Liu He did not admit defeat, he looked at Garnett calmly: "If I have played in the NBA for nine seasons and still do nothing like you, I should just retire!"

Garnett's face instantly turned liver-colored.

Duncan, who is as famous as Garnett, is already an MVP plus championship plus FMVP Grand Slam.

Kobe, who entered the league a year later than Garnett, also has three consecutive championships.

Although Malone does not have a championship, he also has an MVP.

Not to mention O'Neill.

Compared with these people, Garnett is not doing nothing.

As the game continued, Garnett stared at Liu He viciously.

Liu He didn't care at all.

With Ma Long around, does he dare to play tricks?

Timberwolves offense.

Cassel broke into the paint, tricked O'Neal with a shot fake, and then passed the ball to Olowokandi.

Olowakadi immediately smashed the basketball into the rim.

boom!
57: 54.

Only 3 points left.

The Lakers attacked, and O'Neal couldn't score under the attack of Olowokandi and Garnett.

The Timberwolves received the rebound, and then a wave of defensive counterattack succeeded.

57: 56.

In an instant, the point difference was only 1 point.

At the critical moment, Garnett emptied Malone and let Malone shoot in the middle distance to help defend the rest of the Lakers.

Bang!

Malone's shot really didn't go in, and his long-term absence still affected his touch. This thing can't be adjusted in one game.

The basket was torn into pieces.

Liu He rushed into the penalty area and stuck Garnett with his back.

Just when the basketball landed in front of Liu He, Garnett became impatient and pushed Liu He violently with both hands.

Before Liu He could react, a giant beast rushed over and slammed into Garnett viciously.

Garnett staggered back a few meters before standing still in embarrassment. Seeing that Malone was about to rush over and continue to fuck him again, Garnett quickly hid behind the referee.

Hide behind the referee and continue to output with your mouth.

But as soon as Ma Long entered, he retreated.

Fight and retreat.

I have to say that Garnett is really smart, knowing that he can't beat Malone, he won't fight Malone at all.

Liu He hurried forward to stop Ma Long.

If you continue to chase, you won't be able to take advantage of it. Instead, you will only suffer and aggravate the referee's punishment.

After a while of discussion, the referee team gave Garnett and Malone a first-level malicious foul each, two free throws and one throw, canceling each other out.

The ball belongs to the Lakers!

After a while of uproar, the court calmed down.

Garnett walked cautiously back to the court.

Liu He suddenly looked up at Garnett, scaring Garnett back a step.

Although Liu He's reputation is not as fierce as that of Ma Long, he is not easy to provoke.

Stronger than Garnett Marcus Camby, Brian Cook, Darius Sangueira...Liu He has fucked a few.

Garnett said he was not afraid to be false.

Seeing Garnett's appearance, Liu He showed a disdainful smile.

The referee came up to warn Liu He: "Please don't do anything unrelated to the game."

Liu He smiled and replied: "Don't worry, even if I fight, I want to fight a real wolf king. A female wolf is not enough to arouse my fighting spirit!"

Liu He taunted Garnett in front of the referee.

The referee rolled his eyes as if he didn't hear it.

After all, Liu He suffered a loss in the conflict just now, shouldn't he be allowed to vent?Do you have to force people to do it?

The job of refereeing is not so easy, you have to close your eyes when you should.

With the referee's warning, Garnett dared to walk back.

The game continues.

Liu He said suddenly: "Guys, I feel it coming!"

O'Neal, Kobe, Malone, and Payton all looked at Liu He.

Often times, Liu He would explode suddenly, and there was no way to explain the completely unreasonable explosion.

Liu He himself knew that this was the badge effect, and the coercion mode was activated.

But to the outside world, Liu He can only say that the feeling is coming.

Kobe showed a cautious look, Liu He's coercion mode, even he can't underestimate it.

At the start of the game, Malone looked at Garnett and taunted: "You don't even know what kind of existence you have angered."

Garnett didn't take it seriously, but felt that Malone was talking trash to affect him.

Ma Long didn't care, and immediately pulled him out to cover Liu He.

Sprewell squeezed resolutely, but his body collided with Malone's, which was delayed for a moment.

In just such an instant, Liu He had gotten rid of him, received Payton's pass, pulled up and shot.

Sprewell jumped up to block the shot, but found himself too far away from Liu He's shot.

Sprewell in the air was puzzled: Is this rookie running faster?Jump higher?The bullet speed is also faster?
Swish!
Before thinking of the result, the basketball has already got into the basket.

60: 56.

Timberwolves offense.

Kassel made a wonderful pass to Olowokandi, and Olowokandi made a shot under the basket, but was slapped and slapped by Liu He.

Garnett picked up the basketball and shot again.

Only to find that Liu He jumped up again, and slapped Garnett down.

Liu He's consecutive blocks.

He then took advantage of the situation to accept the basketball.

Garnett still wanted to snatch the ball from Liu He's arms. Liu He hugged the basketball tightly, turned around, and hit Garnett's abdomen with an iron elbow at an angle that the referee couldn't see.

Garnett sucked in a breath of cold air, and he bowed into a prawn in pain.

Liu He took advantage of the trend to launch a fast break, rushed to the frontcourt, and took off directly in the face of the pressing Sprewell.

Sprewell also jumped up, trying to stop Liu He.

However, Liu He knocked Sprewell away in the air and took advantage of the opportunity to complete the dunk.

boom!
62: 56.

Beep!
Sprewell also paid for a foul.

Liu He hit the free throw steadily.

63: 56.

Timberwolves offense.

Garnett responded from the free throw line, and Sprewell immediately scored the ball when he saw the empty cut.

However, Liu Cheng killed Jin He directly in the middle and cut off the pass.

Liu He took advantage of the situation and launched a fast break, leading the way to the frontcourt. Garnett's speed was so fast that he even caught up with Liu He.

Without any fear, Liu He took the initiative to find a confrontation, knocked Garnett away, and completed the dunk.

boom!
65: 56.

Timberwolves offense.

Sprewell passed Kobe, but was defended by Liu He in the middle distance.

Sprewell made a breakthrough feint and then pulled up.

Liu He jumped up immediately, covering the sky with his long arms against the sky.

Sprewell's face was serious: Sure enough, the rookie jumped fast and high.

Sprewell could only twist his waist and abdomen, relying on his strong core strength to lean back as much as possible.It's a pity that the goal was too difficult to score.

The inside scrambled into a ball, and Malone and Garnett flew the ball in the fight.

Liu He knocked Sprewell away, received the rebound, and then another wave of defensive counterattacks.

Liu He, who scored three goals in a row, felt that he was more than one meter away from the three-point line and pulled up directly.

Super long chase three points.

Swish!
68: 56.

Liu He scored 11 points in a row, helping the Lakers instantly expand the point difference to 12 points.

And not just on offense.

Blocks, steals, rebounds, blocks, defense... At this moment, Liu He is omnipotent.

The Timberwolves were directly stunned.

Even the experienced coach Philip Sanders forgot to call a timeout, and only reacted after being reminded by several assistant coaches, and quickly called a timeout.

And Sprewell, who was facing Liu He, was even more confused. Is this really just a rookie?
How can he be so strong?
