As if deliberately trying to tickle the fans' hearts, Kobe Bryant scored 10 points halfway through the second quarter, and he didn't shoot from then on!
was stunned to watch Liu Ren ravage Wiggins again and again, as if he was enjoying it.
In this case, D'Antoni can't replace Kobe Bryant, everyone is watching Kobe surpass Jordan to become the third in the all-time scoring list, the Lakers have led the Timberwolves by more than 20 points before the second quarter is over, and once the main force is replaced, it is impossible to replace it again, this is the unwritten rule of the NBA, and the Lakers and the Timberwolves are not feuding, so they will not use the main force to torture each other to death.
Bryant started in the sixth minute of the second quarter, and in the next quarter of the game, he kept passing the ball, giving a lot of assists to Liu Ren, Korver, Whiteside, and Nick Young, who were rotated on the court, and he was almost reaching the highest number of assists of his career.
This time it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, Kevin Martin failed to make a foul under Liu Ren's defense, and Liu Ren wittily put his hands behind his back and watched Martin put on a funny performance.
Bryant grabbed the rebound, and he advanced to the frontcourt himself.
After Kobe Bryant came to the frontcourt, the Timberwolves doubled up, and Shabas and Rubio went towards him together, which was the Timberwolves' respect for him.
In anticipation, Bryant passed the ball again to Clarkson in the bottom corner, who took the ball with three points!
Miss!
Kobe Bryant rushed inside and twisted his body to grab the offensive rebound!

The referee's whistle blows! Defensive fouls!
At the same time, the ball is scored, and the goal is valid and a penalty will be added!
It came so suddenly!
Fans didn't expect Kobe Bryant to surpass Jordan like this!
It's a free throw!
Time seems to go back to 1996, Kobe Bryant stepped on the NBA court for the first time, and his first score was a free throw!
"Congratulations Kobe, you finally voted, do you know I've been waiting until I'm crazy? I wanted to throw it back to you when you passed it to me! Nick Young was the first to rush over and hug Kobe.
"Congratulations ......"
"Wow......"
"It's really made me wait too long......"
“……”
Before the free throws, the Lakers players came up one by one to hug Kobe, and all the fans on the scene had begun to chant MVP.
Under the referee's helpless urging, Kobe Bryant finally stood on the free throw line.
18 years...... No, the familiar action of the 19th year, the familiar free throw position, Kobe Bryant did not hang others' appetite this time, but hit the ball steadily in the MVP call!
The cheers at the scene ignited instantly, and the fans who had been ready for a long time held up the sign of "The Strongest Breakup"!
The Timberwolves call a timeout!
This time, it was the Timberwolves' turn to pay tribute to Kobe Bryant one by one, and the cameramen and reporters also rushed into the court, although they couldn't ask questions, but it was not bad to pat Kobe Bryant and the other players to say something.
In the end, a scene that surprised the fans happened.
Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor and executive president and head coach Philip Saunders came to the court with the Timberwolves' No. 24 jersey.
"It's amazing, 19 years ago I had no idea that the teenager who tried out with our team would one day be able to achieve something like this, and I was fortunate enough to witness this great moment, and I will be sealed in the basketball museum in Minneapolis for today's game!"
Saying that, Glenn Taylor gave Kobe Bryant the ball from the game just now, and a pen.
Bryant laughed and signed his name on the basketball.
Then Philip Sanders gave the Timberwolves' No. 24 jersey to Kobe, and of course, the name on the jersey was also written on Kobe.
For Lakers fans and Minneapolis fans, today's game is a big show.
Liu Ren watched Kobe Bryant enjoy the glory with hot eyes on the sidelines, and he had a deeper obsession with becoming great in his heart......
After the timeout, Kobe Bryant went off the court, as if he had calculated that he would only score 13 points today, just surpassing Jordan's total score.
There were no surprises in the next game, the Lakers replaced LaVine, Clarkson, Henry, Antetokounmpo, and Thackeray to play the remaining time, and the Timberwolves continued to hone Rubio, Shabas, Wiggins, Bennett, and Giangille, the young core lineup, and the players on both sides played very harmoniously, and no one could prevent anyone from coming and going.
In the end, the Lakers defeated the Timberwolves 112-100.
Bryant won the best player of the game with a triple-double of 13 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists.
With 23 wins and 1 loss, the Lakers refreshed their 2008-2009 season with a 23-3 start! It set a new record for the fastest team to get 23 wins, and at the same time set a new best start in NBA history, surpassing the Bulls' 23-2 start set in 1995-1996 and ranking first in history!

After playing the Timberwolves, the Lakers didn't have time to enjoy the glory of breaking the historical record, and they flew to Indiana non-stop that night to prepare for back-to-back games against the Pacers the next day.
The Pacers are now in an extremely sad season with Lance Stephenson getting the Bobcats...... The current Hornets owner Joe is leaving on a three-year, $36 million contract, Paul George is out for the season, and David West is out for two months with a sprained ankle at the end of last month.
As a result, the Pacers went from being an invincible super team in the league for most of last season to being a bully.
In this game, the Lakers naturally came with the mentality of pinching soft persimmons, Kobe, Nash, Gasol, and Green collectively suspended, leaving Liu Ren and Jeremy Lin, the only two starters left.
D'Antoni played this game with the mentality of honing the backcourt two rookies, and theoretically, even if the Lakers were missing the old big three and Green, it was not something that the current Pacers could deal with.
Whiteside played Hibbert, with a small height disadvantage, flexibility, strength, rebounding ability and even scoring ability.
Jeremy Lin and George Hill are also half a pound and eight taels against each other, the strength of the two is about the same, and the other remaining players of the Pacers are old and weak, and theoretically they cannot be the opponents of the Lakers' young force.
But basketball is round, and anything can happen.
The Pacers players who were frustrated playing in the previous 20 games seemed to be playing chicken blood one by one, and the Lakers were pressed and beaten normally with a wild bombardment of offense and defense!
The Pacers players are defending as if they don't want to die, and when they interfere with the shooting, they throw their bodies directly into the sky, not afraid of injury at all, and the same is true when they attack, facing Liu Ren, Whiteside, and Antetokounmpo in the air, and they are stunned to chisel inside.
Pacers players are not afraid of getting injured and dying, but Lakers players can't!
December and January are the two months with the highest number of injuries in the NBA each season, and the Lakers have a tough schedule ahead, and no one dares to risk injuries to fight the Pacers.
As a result, the Lakers were upset away and lost to the Pacers 97-102!
