"The fat man of the Lakers today is so miserable, I didn't expect the Chinese on our team to be so powerful"

"Yes, O'Neal who can stand up to the Lakers, I swear I will support him when I vote for All-Star in the future"

"Me too, he's so good, that's a heavenly hook, how did he learn it? Didn't you say that no one but Abdul-Jabbar would? ”

"You don't look at who the head coach of our Timberwolves is, that's Coach Z, the best coach in the country, what's a day? Maybe Iceman's lost stunt, 'Fingertip Basket', will also be repeated."

Painful, this game is very painful for Phil Jackson and the Lakers players at the beginning of the game, and the process after the game is the same, this game almost staged a live slaughter in front of the whole Timberwolves fans, the Lakers who looked extremely strong in the first few games were fully suppressed by the Timberwolves in this game, and the super center O'Neal, who made the Timberwolves suffer in the first few games, was Wang Zhizhi in this game, Garnett and O'Neal Jr.'s interior combination was completely blocked, and the big center felt like he was stepping into a quagmire on the court.

So when the game ended in the first half, the Lakers actually trailed by 15 points on the road, and the Lakers only scored 45 points in the half, while the Timberwolves scored 60 points, which was impossible in the previous games, and the Timberwolves had never led so much at halftime in the first four games, and this point difference even made the Timberwolves fans in the stadium stands a little unbelievable.

Originally, many people thought that many of the Lakers' abnormalities in the first half were because the Lakers were caught off guard by a temporary change in Coach Z. Coach Z's three-inside formation is obviously very restrained O'Neal, and the three centers basically seal all the baskets. O'Neill didn't have room to move around at all, so it was a very good change. Especially when 'Wang Zhizhi' has such strong defensive ability, but even so, they don't think that the Lakers will be as passive as the first half after the second half adjustment, at least that's what Abdul-Jabbar in the commentary bench thinks.

"The Lakers now look like they're tied by Coach Z, and O'Neal is the Lakers' legs, and he's responsible for leading the Lakers forward, but after the legs are tied, the Lakers should decisively use their hands to loosen their legs. Bryant and Szzambiak can play more high-end on the perimeter, and the two of them must lure Garnett or Jermaine O'Neal out of the basket, otherwise Shaq will be too reluctant to play a three-on-three under the basket."

This is Abdul-Jabbar's strategy, and Lakers head coach Phil Jackson also knows it. The Lakers were beaten by the Timberwolves in the first half, and many times the players lost their calm, after all, the invincible big man of the team would be beaten so badly in this game, which would definitely make the Lakers players lose their minds, so for Phil Jackson, he also believed that he could bring the final situation back, and it was impossible for the famous coach who had been hit by Zhuang Fei in recent years to give up the opportunity to beat Zhuang Fei easily.

And after the start of the second half of this game, it is indeed going on according to the idea set by Phil Jackson, in fact, in addition to the first two games of this round of the series, Kobe Bryant and Szebiak feel sluggish, the rest of the game The feeling of these two people is getting better and better, after all, the state of the two is excellent, the feeling is not good, just because they are not very adaptable, when the two re-adapt to the game with the Timberwolves, the attack power of these two people is also very strong, Zhuang Fei is playing a three-inside formation in this game, For the Lakers, Garnett's opponent is Szczebiak. In order to contain Garnett and liberate O'Neal, then Szzczebiak must attack, Szzambiak is not fast, and he is not even very dominant compared to Garnett, but in this game, Garnett focused more on O'Neal's interior defense, so Szzambiak, who was instructed by the protagonist at halftime, opened his personal offensive mode, in fact, for the Lakers, only Szzczebiak's tactics to open the team can be reactivated, which is also a matter of no choice, So at the beginning of the second half, Szzambiak successively used Garnett to make up for O'Neal, and then returned to shoot two three-pointers, and Phil Jackson, who was originally on the sidelines, thought that Zhuang Fei would let Garnett put more energy on the periphery because of these two three-pointers, but the Chinese looked indifferent.

…,

"Coach. Don't we have to make some arrangements for Wally now? Timberwolves assistant coach Stephen Green on the sidelines looked at the situation on the court and asked Zhuang Fei, but as soon as Green spoke, he saw Zhuang Fei shake his head.

"There's no need to change now, Kevin and Jermaine's footsteps are fine," Zhuang Fei smiled and said that after Green, he nodded a little incomprehensibly.

Zhuang Fei said that he believes in Xiao Ao and Garnett's defensive moves, in fact, he believes in Wang Zhizhi's top defense ability, if in the past, the Lakers' periphery at this time was also opened, then the Timberwolves will face the dilemma of not being able to take care of both inside and outside, at that time the Timberwolves are likely to be killed by the Lakers' internal and external flowering, but now, after Wang Zhizhi can withstand O'Neal for a period of time, this also provides Garnett and Xiao Ao with a lot of time to make up for the defense, which can completely allow these two to go back and forth between inside and outside. You must know that Garnett and Xiao Ao's defensive footsteps are definitely the best among all interior players in the league, even if they are not bad compared to many outside players, these two are completely able to come and go freely in the time that Wang Zhizhi has created for them.

In other words, the defensive combination of these three is in the most perfect configuration, no matter what the Lakers do, it is impossible to liberate O'Neal, Szczerbiak's two three-pointers are only because Garnett has not calculated the timing yet, and when he calculates the timing, Szczebiak will not have a chance. This is also the reason why Zhuang Fei has always been relieved, he believes that Garnett can adjust himself, so the Timberwolves do not need to change anything.

Soon, Zhuang Fei's expectation came true on the court, Szzambiak did not give him another chance after scoring those two three-pointers, and Phil Jackson also understood off the court, so he shifted the focus of the offense to Robert Hawley's side, but the development of things was once again like Szczebiak's side, in the face of Xiao Ao's defense, Hawley was also extremely difficult, and he also had no ability to save O'Fat.

"The Timberwolves' two interior maneuvers are too strong, now Wang Zhizhi is sitting under the basket, Garnett and Jermaine O'Neal are separated on both sides, such three people have simply sealed all the areas below the free throw line, this game seems to be no longer saved, even Chamberlain is difficult to break through in the face of the combination of these three" Abdul-Jabbar looked at the somewhat embarrassed O'Neal on the commentary bench and sighed and said, the Timberwolves' interior combination of the three is the strongest he has ever seen, It's better than the inside line led by Celtics and McHale.

"So is there no way for the Lakers to do anything in this game" Michaels asked on the side, the Lakers' offense is a triangular offense, and now the core of Sanjiang's offense is completely locked, and there is no possibility of launching tactics at all. How can such a game be played? However, to Michaels' surprise, Abdul-Jabbar didn't think so.

"The Lakers now have another chance to shift the team's offensive focus to Kobe Bryant, and I think Phil Jackson has already started to do that," Abdul-Jabbar said lightly after glancing at the court.

"Kobe?" After getting Abdul-Jabbar's answer, Michaels also looked at the guard on the court with a somewhat unusual hairstyle, this guard had just broken through Pierce and hit a mid-range shot near the free throw line, at this time the Lakers guard did not dare to drill into the free throw line, which was definitely a restricted area occupied by the devil for the Lakers.

At the end of this game, Phil Jackson finally established Kobe's offensive dominant position, which was actually expected in Zhuang Fei's opinion, compared with O'Neal, this Lakers guard currently has no lethal ability to the Timberwolves, when Zhuang Fei saw this guy start to take over the Lakers' offense, he was looking at the No. 8 kid on the court with appreciative eyes.

I have to say that at this time, Kobe Bryant has already had the freehand in the future, especially in this game, when the Timberwolves completely blocked the restricted area, the No. 8 could not impact the basket and chose to shoot the offense, and when he chose to shoot and attack, he took that freehand to the extreme.

…,

When the Timberwolves entered the fourth quarter with a difference of more than 20 points, Phil Jackson also knew that the Lakers were gone in today's game, and both sides kept playing for 5 minutes at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and both sides replaced all the main players, because at this time the Timberwolves had a 25-point lead, and the last 7 minutes of the game were completely garbage time.

This game is also the first garbage time in the five games between the Timberwolves and the Lakers, which can also be seen that the pressure on the Lakers in this game is almost completely suppressed by the Timberwolves without a trace of resistance.

And the final score of this game is also an astonishing 122-95, the Timberwolves won this game by 27 points, and the best player of this game is naturally given to the Timberwolves' Wang Zhizhi, this surprising guy scored 28 points and 19 rebounds in this game, and Ao Fat, who was opposite him, only scored 18 points on 7-of-20 shooting, with the help of Garnett and Xiao Ao, Ao Fat was completely blown up by Wang Zhizhi in this game.

"This game is really the perfect win for the Timberwolves"

Abdul-Jabbar, who looked at the Lakers players' shrugged heads, sighed and said that this kind of victory is too lethal.

Maybe this game has already decided the outcome of this series.
