Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 110 Alternate Lead
"The Lakers have also improved their defensive strength. It would be nice if our three-pointers were more accurate." Zhang Sixin said.

The Timberwolves caught up with the score in the third quarter, but failed to take the opportunity to gain an advantage.

The team's three-pointers, except for Curry, suddenly became inaccurate again.

Role players are just role players, and Belinelli has not been able to maintain the touch of the first half.

But the inside line began to rise. After Love and Milicic played well, Jefferson also played a few good shots when he took a break for a while and played again.

The Lakers originally had an inside advantage, but because of unexpected circumstances, they became a weak side instead.

Although Gasol is also an All-Star, he can't stand the inside line alone.

Gasol is mainly comprehensive, but he is not top-notch on both offense and defense, and his strength is a bit weak.

However, the situation on the court was changing. In the first half, the Timberwolves' bench lineup had a great advantage, but in the second half, the Lakers played better.

When Kobe went to rest, Odom, who had become the core of the team's tactics, broke out.

In fact, Odom's style of play has not changed much, that is, to advance with the ball, organize the rhythm, and shoot when he has the opportunity.

The difference from before is that he feels outside the three-point line.

Pushing forward with the ball in the backcourt, he came to the frontcourt and fell down, tried to throw a three-pointer and scored.

Zhang Sixin is also thinking, when the time comes to continue to maintain the strength of the inside line, it is better to go to Frye and follow Odom.

In the end, think about it or forget it. This kind of defense Love can also come, and Frye may not be able to catch people. Now the inside rebounding advantage is very strong, so we must maintain it.

When Zhang Sixin was thinking, it was definitely impossible to stop and wait for him on the court.

Fortunately, Odom's attack power is not very strong, otherwise he can delay the opportunity.

So it's not that many head coaches didn't see the problem, they just hesitated and missed the best time to adjust.

Sometimes waiting brings good news, and sometimes waiting leads to bigger problems.

The choice of the head coach, one game can't explain anything, but in the long run, you can see whether their on-the-spot decisions are beneficial or harmful to the team.

A head coach who can quickly make choices that are beneficial to the team is the type who can adapt quickly on the spot.

Zhang Sixin belongs to the ordinary type. He will react on the spot, but he may not be particularly quick.

But one of his great strengths is that he will firmly target the players in the plan and will not change to affect the implementation of tactics.

Because of Odom's play, the Lakers won Kobe a rest time.

When Kobe played again in the final quarter, the decisive battle between the two sides began.

At this time, several minutes had passed in the final quarter, and the Lakers took a slight lead.

The Lakers' lineup is also different from the starting ratio. Not only Odom replaced the injured Bynum, but Farmar also continued to stay on the court.

Fisher couldn't keep up with Curry at all, and his shooting touch was not good, so he could only sit on the bench.

Therefore, in competitive sports, experience will not work at all in many cases, and it is useless to know more if the body cannot keep up.

The Timberwolves first let Jefferson come up to play a few low positions, and finally chose to let Love and Milicic stay on the court.

Now that the Timberwolves have an inside advantage, the Lakers' defense has also begun to shrink.

The Timberwolves' three-pointer this time is not good, and the Lakers also adjusted according to the situation on the court.

In the last few minutes, the defense of both teams was full of strength, and neither side scored for more than 2 minutes.

In the end, it was the Timberwolves who broke the deadlock. Their defense forced the opponent to make a mistake. Matthews made a successful steal. After the ball was handed over to Curry, the Lakers made a subconscious tactical foul.

Unexpectedly, this was the fourth time in the last quarter, sending Curry to the free throw line.

After Curry hit a free throw, the Timberwolves caught up with the score.

In this game, the scores of the two teams were so tight that even when one side was in the lead, they couldn't open the score.

Then Kobe missed a shot, and Gasol grabbed an offensive rebound and caused Milicic to foul.

Kobe's hand feeling has not improved today. He has restrained a bit, but he will definitely make a shot at the last moment, but the hand feel is still not good.

And Gasol is also tough, facing Milicic and Love still got rebounds.

In a basketball game, even if there are rebounders on the court, they cannot actually protect every backcourt rebound, and they can only protect the backcourt rebound as much as possible.

Gasol also made two free throws, and the Lakers took the lead again.

But scoring is easy to cause a chain reaction, and the Timberwolves' offense is successful again.

Love strongly beat Odom to complete 2+1, and the Timberwolves took the lead.

Odom's height is actually no problem in the fourth position, but his style of play is a swingman with a very comprehensive technique. Unfortunately, his strength is a shortcoming, and he can't stand Love.

Moreover, this buddy has never been a tough person, and there is a problem with his momentum. This is not the first time that Le Fu has eaten him.

Odom didn't live up to it, Kobe was also angry, and then the offense came in person, but he hit the iron again.

However, the Timberwolves' attack also ended in a strike. Sometimes the hit is contagious, and the strike is the same.

When the game is tense, goals are scored at the same time, and iron strikes also appear at the same time, which is very normal.

However, Odom then completed the redemption.

Kobe assisted Odom to hit a three-pointer, and the Lakers made a strong lead.

It's just that the defense of the Lakers' current lineup is really not that strong. Curry then hit Farmar and hit, and the two sides stood on the same starting line again.

Time is running out, and Kobe has also exploded his superstar strength.

Faced with the Timberwolves' attack, he still forced up and caused Matthews' foul.

Even if the hand feels average today, Kobe's free throws are still very stable at the critical moment, and the leader has become the Lakers again.

In the last few minutes of the game, the score was tied several times and then rose alternately. Not to mention the audience at the scene, even the fans watching the live broadcast felt all kinds of tension.

However, when Curry came back and hit again, Kobe jumped in a hurry and yelled at Farmar and Odom directly, because Curry was either playing Farmar in singles or Odom in a pick-and-roll, and Kobe wanted to defend himself.

Seeing that Kobe was in a hurry, Lakers coach Phil Jackson also had to call a timeout.

Phil Jackson is not worried about the team falling behind, but Kobe still needs to take care of his emotions.

After returning to the court, Artest made some slow-paced breakthroughs, but it caused Love to foul.

But Artest only made one of two free throws, which is okay for the Lakers, after all, they are leading again.

At this time, it was the last few tens of seconds. Zhang Sixin did not call a timeout, but just gave Curry a positive gesture.

Curry and Love's pick-and-roll, the Lakers can't solve this problem for the time being.

"The Lakers still have weak links. If Kobe doesn't enter the scoring mode, they will have flaws." Zhang Sixin said.

Before the words fell, Curry and Love picked and rolled again. When the two defensive players of the Lakers rushed to Curry first, Curry passed Love in seconds, and the latter hit two points.

Leading side, alternate again.
