Reborn as Kobe

Since the Timberwolves kicked Marbury away, McHale's series of operations have been confusing.

This shrinking season's basic salary signing Joe Johnson is still ignored by everyone, and McHale will do the same next year, which will eventually lead to an investigation by the league. The Timberwolves will also be heavily fined and lose the first-round pick, and will never recover.

In fact, Kobe couldn't understand many times before. Why do teams like Timberwolves and Clippers have so many dead operations, but after staying in this league for a long time, everything will become clear. It's nothing more than benefits. This is also a small ball. The sadness of the team.

As soon as Kobe entered the three-point line, he dropped the ball to O'Neal. After the opponent doubled, O'Neal dunked and scored. 4:11.

In the opening stage, the Lakers played a dominant performance. On the other hand, the Timberwolves lacked tacit cooperation and scored mainly in singles.

After eight minutes of playing in the first quarter, Horry replaced Barkley to continue defending Garnett, and the points difference gradually opened up.

If the Timberwolves lack a super scorer and can't create an open space for a mobile meeting, the hit rate cannot be guaranteed. Someone may mention Garnett. Garnett is a top-level superstar. Unfortunately, he lacks explosive scoring methods. His strengths are more reflected in guiding the ball and defense. Garnett is rare in the league. A player with his own system, but not a scorer.

The Lakers can score too many players. Ray Allen, Kobe, and O'Neal all have the ability to end the game alone.

With the help of Kobe this season, Ray Allen averaged 18.6 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 30 minutes, shooting 49.2% from the field and 38.2% from the three-point range.

The Lakers are now using O'Neal's strong point to fight to the death. The Timberwolves changed a variety of methods and failed to limit O'Neal.

The old Nelson replaced rookie players in turn. The tactics were mainly singles. It was a bit similar to the former junior general coaching the Mavericks. It relied on personal ability, whoever had the opportunity to vote, and completely relied on talent to crush the opponent.

On the surface, this tactical arrangement is too simple to eliminate violence, but in fact it is the most effective method. With Kobe, O'Neal, Ray Allen and others in hand, there is no need to care about so much in the face of weak teams. This is like the US military attacking a small country and directly using superior firepower to hit hard, and any strategy can be sidelined.

Although the rookies such as Nowitzki have only run in for three months this season, the talent is there after all. Coupled with a big lead, there is no pressure. Instead, they have fully displayed their current strength.

The Lakers rookies played well in the first quarter, especially Mobley, who has fully adapted to the rhythm of the NBA game. After the main players were off the court, they scored 6 points in two minutes.

34 to 21, the Lakers have a big lead at home.

O'Neal was sent to the court at the beginning of the second quarter and continued to crush the Lakers inside. Kobe's partner Ray Allen and Jones continued to shoot from the outside.

The Timberwolves can only slow down the pace and struggle with the Lakers, Kobe organizes the mid lane, Jones is responsible for side screens, Ray Allen is ready to catch the ball and shoot, and both Timberwolves backcourt players are blown by Kobe.

The Lakers' tactics are not complicated. Only Kobe, Ray Allen and Eddie Jones are walking on the perimeter. O'Neal and Barkley are fixed on the inside. The two mainly protect rebounds and catch the ball inside.

After six minutes of playing in the second quarter, Kobe and O'Neal were replaced. Ray Allen and Mobley partnered in the backcourt. Barkley and Horry guarded the penalty area. In this game, Barkley was in excellent condition.

For the weak chicken of the Timberwolves, the Lakers' strategy is to always have someone entangled with Garnett and let others shoot mid-to-long distances.

At halftime, the Lakers led by 24 points.

O'Neal scored 25 points and 7 rebounds in the half, with little effort. The Lakers are too strong on the outside, which makes the Timberwolves afraid of double-teaming O'Neal.

In the second half, Ray Allen began to perform, hitting two consecutive three-pointers, widening the difference between the two sides to 30 points.

At this time, Ray Allen has not been stepped by Bao Sanshu. Regardless of speed, jumping, and agility, he is at his peak. Although the defense looks soft, he has excellent defensive judgment and belongs to the kind of clean defensive player.

Garnett looked at Ray Allen flying across the field with a very complicated expression. As soon as the 1996 draft was over, Ray Allen, who was selected by the Wolves, and Marbury, who was selected by the Bucks, exchanged owners. Marbury and Garnett worked together for two seasons, because Garnett was in 1998. After signing a six-year contract worth $126 million in 2016, he was dissatisfied and was sent to New Jersey at the end of 1999. Since then, Marbury has gained the nickname of "lone wolf".

Many Chinese fans think that Marbury is more "alone" in playing football. This is why he has such a nickname. In fact, it is because Marbury left the Timberwolves, which means leaving the wolves. This is called the "lone wolf", but Tossed around in the late period, Marbury's style of play has indeed become a lot more selfish.

A big lead, the old Nelson replaced the main force, began to rehearse the lineup, Ryan Bowen, Fisher, Nowitzki and other substitutes received a lot of opportunities to play.

The Timberwolves took the opportunity to recover some points under the leadership of Garnett, but when the main players such as Kobe and O'Neal reappeared, the difference between the two teams was opened again.

In this game, the Lakers played very averagely. Except for Kobe, who played 32 minutes, the others played less than 28 minutes.

The Lakers kept the lead to the end, making a good start 128 to 91.

Seven of the Lakers team scored in double figures in this campaign. Kobe made 8 of 15 shots ~www.readwn.com~ 3 of 5 three-pointers, 7 of 7 free throws, 26 points, 4 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals and 1 block. O'Neal made 11 of 18 shots, 6 of 12 free throws, and 28. Points 14 rebounds and 3 blocks.

Timberwolves core Garnett made 7 of 24 shots, 8 of 10 free throws, 22 points, 15 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals. He played forty-two minutes and shot 31.2%. The efficiency was very low.

The players from both sides shook hands and embraced on the court. Garnett said to Ray Allen that he hoped there would be a chance for cooperation in the future, and left the court with a little regret.

Philip Sanders was so depressed, the Timberwolves fell without the Lakers' cards. Philip Sanders watched the Lakers gritted his teeth. He was going to discuss with McHale and let the team trade some reliable helpers for Garnett.

In fact, when the Timberwolves are not strong, Philip Sanders can still retain the handsome position. Once there is a chance to win, McHale is bound to kick him out. Two cold-blooded general managers in later generations did this. One was McHale. After seeing the Timberwolves forming a three-headed monster, he immediately fired Philip Sanders and became a coach by himself; the other was Pat. Riley, after trading in the big sharks, drove away his apprentice, Van Gundy, and took the post by himself.

At the press conference, the reporter asked Philip Sanders to comment on the game. He said: "This Lakers lineup is too strong, and I can't find their shortcomings. We will try to create some trouble for the Lakers. They easily advanced."

Although Philip Sanders recognized the old Nelson's coaching ability, he felt that he was not bad, but he didn't have a good lineup. In fact, Philip Sanders is indeed a rare good coach. The only drawback is that he can't control the locker room.
