Chapter 208 Zen Master's Card Table
Zen Master was forced to call a timeout 4 minutes into the first quarter.
Because McGee scared the Zen master, in 4 minutes, McGee scored 3 offensive rebounds, and the Timberwolves ran and played all the way to score 7 to 3!
The Lakers scored 5 irons in a short period of time, and only Bynum and Gasol had one rebound each!
Absolutely can't play like this anymore. If they continue to play at this pace, the Lakers will be suppressed. Now the first quarter is still long. If they are suppressed to a point difference of 10 points, the Lakers will be very dangerous.
And McGee is also very slippery.
Looking at Coach Whitman on the opposite side, Master Zen thought that maybe this guy was the one who was slippery.
Can he actually persuade McGee? That is quite powerful. In the eyes of the Zen master, although McGee is full of anger at Bynum, he is extremely smart in his game. In 4 minutes, McGee scored 0 points and 3 rebounds. 2 assists, yes, McGee is not directly involved in both offensive and defensive ends, he is just blocking rebounds, so that he avoids direct conflict with Bynum!
The Lakers have a solid lineup. They are not afraid that McGee will beat Bynum just like Randolph did yesterday. Anyway, they still have Pau Gasol, but it is different for McGee to play defensively and counterattack now. , the effect is quite different.
McGee is one-for-one against Bynum, but when McGee starts this style of play and Bynum can't limit him, the Lakers need to add more chips, and the field is unconsciously played by Bynum and Gasol. It's a clip, and the effect is still very poor, at least the two of them can't stand up to McGee on the rebound.
During the timeout, the Zen master just thought for a few seconds, and then decisively replaced the chatter and went to Odom.
Of course, this caused dissatisfaction. He is only 4 of 1, so why should he sit on the bench? No matter how you look at it, Ariza is more suitable for swapping with Odom.
If Ariza is dissatisfied, a leader who is a blacksmith sprays you every day for producing more iron, and even insinuations are unbearable.
But the Zen master was very stubborn and firmly pressed the chatter.
Cursing and chattering, he pulled a towel and put it around his neck.
Although Naka is irritable, he plays very rationally and calmly. Although he made 4 of 1, he scored 4 points and made 2 free throws. In this way, there is really nothing to blame Naka, but Zen Master replaced him. It's because the Timberwolves' defense is too weak.
McGee does not participate in the offense and defense. The Timberwolves' defense is a colander in the eyes of an offensive player of this level. To put it bluntly, if this is more serious, the number of rounds will increase, and Bynum and Gasol will have to hit the bottom line in a row.
Milicic has many shortcomings, but he is not slow, not only not slow, but even fast for many insiders. The Lakers can't stand such a few rounds. If they shoot too much, they will fall into Whitman trap.
In terms of strength, Ariza is not as good as chatting a lot, but he is as good as he is weak, and he is obedient enough!
Zen Master banned long-range shots from everyone on the team, the timeout ended, and the game began!
The Timberwolves have changed, and now Livingston, Hoffman, Al Jefferson, McGee and Darko Milicic are on the stage!
Just now the Lakers went out of bounds, so it was the Timberwolves' round when they came back. Without the chatter, the Timberwolves' outside three musketeers finally showed their ferocious faces!
"Hey, parallel importer, get out of here and let that coward come by himself!"
Facing Milicic under the basket, Bynum spat trash talk very disdainfully, and Mitch was indeed not his opponent, so he got stuck in Mitch's attack range very easily.
But Milicic doesn't mind too much, he is a little used to being scolded now.
Being robbed of his position, Milicic continued to push Bynum from behind. Anyway, the little shark was not allowed to rest and stand comfortably.
There was a dazzling change of defense in front of him, and it was Ariza who was defending McGee, but before Ariza took a stance, McGee had already made a wild shot. Ariza was going crazy when he threw the ball, and there was no movement at all. It's like the ADC doesn't have a forward swing, which can prevent ass.
What's even more ridiculous is that the ball went in!
Milicic ran past Bynum: "I don't need to be so good, McGee will throw the ball in anyway!"
Bynum is so angry, but if McGee doesn't enter the three-second zone, Bynum really can't do anything about him. Bynum is very good, but his footwork and defense can only be regarded as mediocre, or even not good at it. Key began to ignite the Timberwolves' offensive firepower more, and the Lakers' lack of perimeter defenders played worse and worse!
The Lakers are the kind of team with a huge gap between the main force and the rotation. Except for Odom, all of their substitutes are drinking fountains.
"It's time for me to play!"
Chatting has sat until the 9th minute of the first quarter. He is fed up, really fed up. If he was here, the Timberwolves would not dare to arrange such a **** tactic.
16 to 9, the Lakers trailed by 7 points, but Zen master held his breath, no matter what he said, he would not let go!
Livingston had a fancy dribble in front of Odom, and Odom was annoyed by the shaking, so he stopped, but he stopped, the ball was gone, Odom was just distracted by Livingston He even gave the ball to McGee.
Three points again!
Stuck at the buzzer, 24 to 13, amid the wild cheers of the fans, the Timberwolves actually beat the Lakers by 11 points in the first quarter!
The already explosive chatter kicked the trash can away in the locker room: "I don't understand why I'm not allowed to play, if I play, we can't fall to the point where the fuck is, coach, are you crazy! ?”
Even in the face of his old coach's nagging temper, he just spit it out.
But Zen Master was very calm, he just continued to arrange the tactics in the second quarter: "Don't worry, three-pointers can't win the game, they can't keep shooting, more defense, more force to consume McGee's physical strength , until he is unable to grab rebounds!"
When the Chan Master said this, it was considered to reveal a little bit of murderous intent!
The Timberwolves are not a strong team, and they have never been. It is undeniable that they have many desirable advantages, but in the eyes of Zen Master, these advantages are not enough to make them a playoff-level team. It may be Whitman's on-the-spot arrangement and McGee!
In the first quarter, Zen Master has seen Whitman's style of play. He wants to let McGee dominate the basket, and then get more rebounds through shorter rounds. He uses this kind of thief, stealing a little today and stealing a little tomorrow. way to kill the Lakers.
There is an opportunity, but Zen Master is not going to sit at the poker table with Whitman, he wants the Lakers to immediately win 2 consecutive victories and return home.
The biggest problem for the Timberwolves today is that they don't have Randolph, even if McGee can run, no matter how good he is, will he be able to play the whole game?Even if these two McGee are talented, then...Steven and Livingston, two small roles, can they stick to it! ?
