Chapter one hundred and sixty-four mistakes master McCants
Seeing Garnett's mouth smell fragrant, Kobe's mood suddenly improved a lot.
It seems that not only he will be tired of the team, but Garnett will be too. In some cases, Garnett is even more difficult. Although the Lakers are just Kobe, the whole team will calculate carefully. All are all-rounders and new stars with bright prospects.
The Timberwolves looked around and saw the brightest person still being Kevin Garnett, 28.
He is the offense, he is the defense, and he is the rebound. No matter what happens, he will not be able to survive without him.
Kobe rested comfortably for a few minutes. At the beginning of the second quarter, Jackson replaced him and sang softly in his ear. Kobe couldn't help but be shocked. The Zen master rarely gave him such free attack authority. What's wrong today?
The Lakers replaced Kobe, and the Timberwolves replaced Garnett.
They were only 4 points ahead, and the situation was more urgent than when they ended in the first quarter, but Garnett had to take a breath. He scored the first quarter and rarely scored 12 points in a single quarter.
If the Timberwolves need Garnett to take over the attack, it usually only means they are in big trouble.
But today is not the case.
They were ahead, Garnett had too much ball rights, he didn't have to play like that, and he could score more goals for the defenders. For some unspeakable reasons, his frequency was far higher than usual.
With more single-handed matches with the ball, the defensive end is also high, so the Timberwolves can only let him go off the court and rest unless they want the Wolf King to burp.
Kobe replaced Luke Walton, turning the Lakers' outside lineup into three guards. Kobe, Waisha, and Weaver, none of the real forwards, are all guards who can hold the ball, increasing the ball's liquidity and shooting from the outside, and also providing opportunities for Black Mamba's favorite things to do.
In the first attack in the second quarter, Kobe beat Trenton Hassel one-on-one from outside the free throw line.
Hassel is a bit like Tony Allen later, but his defensive skills are far inferior to the latter. He is often sent to guard the opponent's arrows and is known as a defensive expert.
He is a defensive expert who has never been selected into the best defensive team.
Kobe's attitude towards such an expert is that he can't eat enough in one bite.
He first shook Hassel with high footsteps, causing the opponent to foul when shooting, and it was a small regret that he failed to score 21.
Both free throws, 29 to 31.
Then, Wei Xia met an old acquaintance.
This year's rookie, Rashad McCantz from the University of North Carolina.
The days when the two of them compete for honor in the national competition are in the alma mater, they seem to be right in front of them. McCantz is in a similar situation with the Timberwolves and Wei Xia. As a rookie, they don't play much time.
"The mop in the semifinals actually fell into the same situation as me. I really feel sad for you from the bottom of the day." McCantz thought that he had not yet come out of the championship loss, and he vomited sour water when he saw Wei Xia. Wei Xia almost doubted whether the other party thought of the darkest night that was unbearable for the North Carolina to review when he saw him.
"This may show that the Lakers have the same expectations as Kobe." Wei Xia said overestimated her abilities, wrapping McCantz with defense.
When McCantz saw Wei Xia, the awe-in-law of rookie was eaten by the dog, and he actually dared to call the team's boss to come up and roll.
Michael Olovokandi ran up slowly, and the lack of eyes behind her head might be a major flaw in Wei Xia's life. Therefore, he failed to witness Olovokandi's slow movement speed as a turtle, his attitude of debt-in-debt and his execution of procrastination in the late stages, and his complete illegal pick-and-roll, which was completely complete.
The worst thing McCantz did was to let Olovo Kandy come up and roll.
As soon as his pick-and-roll arrived, Wei Xia clearly felt that the opponent's pick-and-roll method was irregular. Half a second later, the referee blew the whistle, which was indeed a cover foul.
"Although we are all substitutes, there is a clear difference between you and me." Wei Xia's words made McKantz stop to return to defense.
He shouldn't have stopped, he knew that Wei Xia's trash words always hid vague ridicule.
"I don't drag the team down, and you give the team a mistake for the first time you attack with the ball." Weisha turned around and kept talking. "If you insist that we are at the same level, I'll be troubled. Have you ever seen anyone confuse Michael Olovokandi and Hakeem Olajuwon?"
"What did you say?" the innocent Olovo Kandi turned around and shouted.
Wei Xia said he had no malice.
Olovokandi was angry and anxious when he heard this, and ran back with gritted teeth, glaring at Wei Xia from time to time.
Wei Xia does not plan to go to the inside to make a living for the time being, so his hostility has no effect.
On the left, Kobe leaned against Hassel at a low post.
Wei Xia's divine news.
Kobe's low post offense attracted the defense of two other Timberwolves players. Weaver was empty at the bottom corner, but Kobe never partnered with Weaver. Compared to passing the ball to the recognized bottom corner master, he trusted his ability to break the defense against three people with a turnover jump shot.
Weaver was ignored by Kobe, and his hand was ready to catch the ball and applauded Kobe's double-team shot at any time. If he didn't make a move, he would clap his hands hard, regretting that the boss failed to achieve the feat of one-on-one and three. In terms of the self-cultivation of a dog, is there anything more?
Szebiak found an opportunity in the chaos, wing jump shots, and scored on the board.
33 to 29
Kobe's desire to attack was quite strong. He was double-teamed at the low post just now, but this time he changed the side.
Wei Xia still asked him to pass the ball.
Compared with Parker, his choice is more extreme, and the first pass choice is always Kobe.
He seemed to have no idea that Kobe could not pass the ball when he got the ball at this time. Even if the Timberwolves used three people to defend, he still dribbled the ball to the middle outside the paint area, stopped and leaned back greatly, and took action. The moment he took action was as beautiful as a painting.
The Timberwolves had three players jumping at the same time with him, and those people did not cause any interference.
They just watched Kobe play solo in close proximity.
31 to 33
Is there any reason for this kind of ball?
Kobe is getting more and more aware that the Lakers' current system cannot play a triangular offense that dominates the league. If he continues to be hard at the low post, they will lose more games.
To break the enemy's encirclement, he needs a large number of ball-holding attacks in front of the basket.
"Do you only pass the ball to Kobe?" McCantz seemed to be unable to rest.
Wei Xia defended patiently, her arms separated like spider webs to wrap McCantz.
McCantz is not the authentic No. 1 position, he is the No. 2 position, but in the NBA, he has no advantage in his height to play No. 2 position, and his ability to control the No. 1 position is insufficient. The Timberwolves' system cannot be as strict as North Carolina, and his projection ability cannot be exerted.
His provocation against Wei Xia was exchanged for a tighter defense than before.
With Garnett away, there was no one in the Timberwolves who could help McCantz share the burden.
When they saw McCantz trapped at the top of the arc, their first reaction was not to go up to pick-and-roll or support, but to open up the space and let him do it himself.
What McCantz needs the least now is support from his teammates.
Their support was too heavy for him to bear.
The unbearable defensive pressure brought McCantz back to the past, which was a not-to-distant past.
It was 7 months ago that the last time he was so embarrassed by Wei Xia.
Unexpectedly, after half a year passed, he still had no choice but to defend against Wei Xia. The referee's exclusive target against the rookie seemed to not work in the showdown between the rookie and the rookie. Otherwise, why would the referee remain indifferent to Wei Xia's oppression? McCantz was so defensive that he felt resentful. He didn't know what the referee was thinking, and he didn't call a foul?
However, Wei Xia did not make a foul at all. Every move was compliant and legal. McCantz's ability to hold the ball was not worth the effort when he encountered his Zen entanglement, and was influenced by Kobe, which became aggressive and hunting-style defense, which was simply a nightmare.
McCantz wasted 15 seconds alone, and his teammates finally realized that the rookie needed support.
It's too late.
Desperate McCantz launched a rush toward Wei Xia, but his hand that failed to protect the ball was dropped by a knife.
McCantz's body fell in front, but the ball was lost behind.
Wei Xia picked up the ball that McCantz fell and rushed to the frontcourt.
Garnett stood up and watched Wei Xia rush to the Timberwolves' defense zone, no one could interfere with him.
It was at this time that Wei Xia reached the excitement point of his emotions. He jumped up with all his strength on the free throw line - a dunk on the free throw line in actual combat.
The talent of the Skywalker blooms in Wei Xia's body.
Fans at the target center couldn't help but scream, and Wei Xia's dunk made the cold city feel a little warm.
"This is the farthest dunk I've ever seen since I started my career!"
Even the commentator of the target center applauded.
Wei Xia landed, the Timberwolves called a timeout, and the two sides tied.
The 15-point advantage accumulated in the first quarter has been squandered. What's worse is that the Lakers are taking shape, Kobe's killing mode has been opened, and one-to-three is just a regular operation, and Wei Xia seems to have found the best form since the beginning of the new season.
McCantz wanted to avoid Weisha.
You can deliberately avoid passers-by, but if passers-by take the initiative to come to you, you will have no choice.
"Under your backdrop, it doesn't seem to be embarrassing that I like to pass the ball." Wei Xia had a faint smile on her face. If everyone who squirted trash was as gentle as him, NBA would never have any violence again. "Goodbye, I hope I can see you make mistakes on the court tonight."
McCantz turned around angrily and viciously showed his middle finger at Wei Xia.
The funniest scene happened!
He thought the referee could not see his movements, but in fact he could see them.
The moment McCantzbee showed his middle finger, the referee who was chatting with the other two referees ran while whistling, pointing at McCantz from a distance, announcing to the audience that the Timberwolves were welcomed for a technical foul.
The audience was about to express their dissatisfaction with the referee, but the live director tacitly cut McCantz's picture of being furious and furious to the big screen.
It is obvious that he deserves his sins.
The audience booed, and some people called McCantz parallel.
Wei Xia, who caused trouble, ignored the other party's middle finger, especially when the other party has been punished, no longer needs to worry about it. He has nothing to do with him and is hanging up, turning around and leaving like a passerby.
