Chapter 514 [Newcomer Becomes a Talent and Sweeps Promotion]

The "drug combination" only played 30 minutes, and the offensive efficiency was super high. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Yao Ming had 35 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks, and Kobe Bryant had 28 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists.

All six Lakers players scored in double figures, and all 12 players appeared and scored.

The Timberwolves scored 4 double-doubles, no one scored 20+, and Garnett only had 19 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.

After the game, the reporter asked Garnett to evaluate the game, and he kept his face black and did not speak.

What's there to say about this? Blind people can see the difference between the two teams, just by listening to the sound of the iron and the cheers of the home fans. If he can't beat it, it's frustrating enough, does he have to cry at the press conference to be happy?

In fact, the reporter wanted to provoke Garnett to spray his teammates too badly, saying that he wanted to leave the Timberwolves in the summer, and that would be big news. The Timberwolves' loss is really not news.

McHale was very happy to say that the Timberwolves are not the opponent of the Lakers: "I am optimistic about the Lakers winning the championship this season, their lineup is very strong, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant are both superstars, but the two of them are not easy to deal with." ”

In the second game, the Timberwolves players proved with their actions that the head coach was not right at all, and they couldn't prevent the "drug combination".

The two still used the old tactics to block and dismantle high, and the Lakers led by 15 points in the first quarter.

This time it was Kobe Bryant, who hit a continuous one-step pull-up jump shot, Olawokandi changed the defense and dismantled faster, and when he was close, Kobe broke through, and he passed with a change of direction.

Yao Ming does not cut in the periphery after blocking and dismantling, which will create a misplaced heads-up opportunity for Kobe, who attracts the middle of the bag and the bottom corner of Hojberg, and both of them can ensure the shooting percentage.

In the second quarter, the Lakers sent a swingman tactic, and Dior played a cameo role as a center.

Olawokandi played, with a clear advantage in height and weight, but he couldn't beat Dio in the low post, which surprised all Timberwolves fans.

He doesn't have a low foot, doesn't like confrontation, likes to shoot jumpers near the free throw line, has a low shooting percentage, and is not good at making passes. The Lakers, with the exception of Mo Williams, are all swing men who can interfere with shots.

The Clippers hired Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to teach Olavokandi hook at a high salary, but Olavokandi was dismissive and didn't learn how to fart.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Abdul-Jabbar uttered a classic quote: "Bynum is a hardworking child, and the other person I taught is called Olawokandi, who can't compare to him at all." ”

Yes, compared with the "sugar man", the wife who dares to sleep with the assistant coach is known for wasting her talent in later generations, and the little shark who laughs wickedly and wildly can be called diligent.

Olawokandi faced the Lakers' rapid counterattack, and the speed of the defense was not fast enough, and the point difference soon stretched to more than 20 points.

At halftime, the Lakers led by 27 points and sealed the win early.

In the second half, Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant played half a quarter, the difference widened to 30 points, the stars were replaced to rest, and the Lakers still took the initiative, and finally won by 45 points 123-88.

Yang Rui did not call a timeout during the whole game, the adjustment was a substitution, but after the game, he received a higher evaluation than before.

Because people found out that the Lakers' rookies are just too tough. Mo Williams, Ariza, Iguodala, and Dio, four players who have only been in the league for one or two years, plus Diop, can fight against the Timberwolves' starters, even if Garnett and Szzczebiak are on the court.

Online fans discussed and admired the success rate of Yang Rui's newcomers.

"When Jerry Young coached a rookie and never missed, Mo Williams, a marginal man like the Jazz who didn't want to control the ball, often played like an All-Star when it came to the Lakers."

"Dior is a waste wood in the Hawks, and when the Lakers are really worthy of the title of 'French Magician', they are too strong."

"Although Diop's offense is poor, he is a good defender in the restricted area, and he is a qualified substitute for Yao Ming, even if there is no Odom, the Lakers' interior line is not weak."

Even though Diop has played very little, there are still people who see his value. This guy is when the Lakers have to renew his contract and need to strengthen their defense, and this black tower is there, even O'Neal can't easily score the basket.

In Yang's previous life, Diop's defensive performance earned praise from the entire league, and he was one of the league's worst offensive players to play 13 seasons in the NBA.

Diop's existence is destined to make the Lakers defend the restricted area even if Yao Ming is off, as long as Yang Rui wants to strengthen his defense.

When the Timberwolves returned to their home court, they were still beaten by the Lakers, Garnett couldn't lead the whole team to attack, and the defensive end was also lacking, and the Lakers would bypass him to attack.

At 125-91, the Timberwolves lost another game, falling behind 0-3.

In this TNT radio broadcast, Barkley ridiculed Olawokandi, who was emptied on the periphery again and again, and broke out the golden sentence: "The Lakers don't care how many points Olawokandi scores, because even if he explodes in the game, he will definitely not score more than 8 points." ”

The Timberwolves, including coach McHale, don't think about winning, they just want to lose a little less in the fourth game, and hope that this series can end soon.

Garnett played very well, scoring 27 points, 14 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 blocks, and also shot a three-pointer, but still couldn't lead the team to win.

ESPN expert Nicholas analysis: Garnett belongs to the kind of player who can do everything and is proficient in everything, especially the back-to-back turnover jumper is difficult to defend. However, Garnett's offensive end was not lethal enough, and he couldn't break through the attack and break through the ball to blow up the opponent. Compared with stars of the same grade and fame, his ability to attract bags is still weak.

To put it in layman's terms, Garnett is very easy to deal with teams with weak interior lines. There is no advantage to the Lakers' interior combination, and they can only shoot high in the middle of the shot to score, and the shooting rate is average.

In the fourth game, Yang Rui was unusual, gave up the single defense, and asked the players to resolutely wrap Garnett near the penalty area, and let Olavokandi, Hudson, Hassel and others shoot.

Garnett's scoring efficiency dropped dramatically after being trapped, and he played 36 minutes, shooting 5-of-14 from the field and 5-of-6 from the free-throw line, finishing with 15 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists.

None of his teammates played well except for Szczebiak, who scored 21 points, Kassel with 10 points, Hayes with 12 points, and no one else scored in double figures.

"Alien" Kassel averaged 12 points and 5 assists per game in the series, he is already old, and even if he leaves the Timberwolves in the summer, it will be difficult to get a big contract.

The Lakers won 113-77.

Yao Ming scored 27 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks in the last game, made 3 of 7 three-point shots, dunked four times, and was able to play inside and out.

At that time, the Timberwolves were 30 points behind, and Garnett yelled at his teammates several times on the defensive end, dissatisfied with the defense.

As a result, Garnett controlled his emotions and did not provoke Yao Ming, and after getting up, he listlessly walked to the free throw line to make free throws, without even looking at Yao Ming.

Garnett's ball quotient is high, and provocations are always on the lookout for people. The regular season had a lesson in the past, and the Bucks' Mason was tough against Yao Ming, and as a result, he became a public enemy of China. Garnett will not give up the Chinese market and go against Chinese fans for the sake of impulse. In this league, the person he will not provoke the most is Yao Ming, and he has never even talked trash in this series.

On the one hand, he didn't have much opposition to Yao Ming; On the other hand, he wasn't sure if Yao Ming could understand the trash talk.

As expected before the game, the Lakers swept the Timberwolves in the first round without much effort and advanced to the next round first.
