Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 328 The Lakers' Fighting Intent

In the game against the Trail Blazers, Zhang Sixin let Whiteside start, and this buddy performed well.

But there is nothing amazing, he still hasn't shown a side that surpasses others.

Whiteside is actually good at rebounding and blocking shots. It may be because he was with Love and didn't give too many opportunities, so he couldn't play so well.

Whiteside's ability to seize opportunities is still not as good as some stars, and it is estimated that he should play some games to exercise.

Milicic's truce is a good opportunity for him to upgrade.

The Timberwolves' schedule during this period, first several away games, and then several home games, are all connected.

Next will be the most stable schedule of the season, a rush of away games.

Now the Timberwolves are still playing at home, and they ushered in the challenge of the Lakers.

The Timberwolves lost a game to the Lakers before, and they must fight well when they meet again.

After all, maybe the two sides may meet again in the playoffs, and every contest must be taken seriously.

The Lakers don't feel good now. They waited for the Timberwolves to beat the Clippers again before squeezing into the top four in the West.

This position is not stable. The Clippers, Nuggets, Grizzlies and other teams have similar records to them.

In front of the Timberwolves, Thunder and Spurs, it is difficult for the Lakers to catch up.

As Kobe, who wears a lot of rings on his hands, his goal must only be the championship.

The Lakers' lineup is really not bad, it can only be said that there are flaws, and now the Lakers are also trying to find a deal.

This season's regular season feels that the team is about to fall behind. The Lakers are uncomfortable from the players to the management. As a wealthy team, they have their own pride.

Facing the Timberwolves, the Lakers are also full of fighting spirit.

Although their current record is not good, they want to win the team with the best record in the league.

But to be honest, the Lakers' lineup is really uncomfortable against the Timberwolves. The previous win has a relatively large element of luck.

After all, the Lakers have not upgraded their lineup this season, and the Timberwolves will be better than the opponent last season.

The Lakers are still in the previous starting lineup. They have controlled their injuries well this season, better than many teams. This is one of the reasons why they are brooding, and they have no excuses.

Zhang Sixin thought about this game for a long time, and finally let Pekovic start at the fifth position.

He considered Whiteside starting to help defend Kobe, but considering Whiteside's single defense can't handle Bynum, he finally chose the Montenegrin.

Bynum has improved again this season and can be considered an All-Star level.

Of course, this is just picking out the generals from among the dwarfs, and now the league's centers are dying and it's their turn to take the lead.

Because of his young age, many people in the outside world thought that the era of Bynum would soon come. Unexpectedly, this spirited guy was just a flash in the pan and disappeared quickly after being sent away by the Lakers.

And the league's centers are not going to disappear gradually as some people think. After experiencing the trough of this period, some big men finally played in the era when small ball tactics became more and more popular.

Facing the Timberwolves, the Lakers did not try, and they knew that it was meaningless. If the Timberwolves controlled the rhythm, they would be finished.

So Kobe directly turned on the attack mode when he came up. Kobe will not do this every time, but he will try to do this when facing the Timberwolves.

DeRozan is already an All-Star and has performed well this season, but he withered again in the face of Kobe.

It seems that as long as he plays against Kobe, he will forget what he is good at.

There is no way, Zhang Sixin will find a way to stagger his playing time with Kobe.

Both Green and Leonard can come up to consume Kobe, and it's good for DeRozan to bring a substitute.

The Lakers only have two outstanding insiders. After one is dropped, DeRozan's chances will definitely increase.

Kobe started working hard, but the Timberwolves also strictly defended Kobe, so Kobe's efficiency was not that high.

On the Timberwolves side, Love still feels good, and Pekovic also played well.

The strength combination of Love and Pekovic came up against the Lakers Twin Towers.

Many fans were also amazed. The Lakers twin towers are at the All-Star level, so they were beaten by the Timberwolves inside. Milicic is not there on the Timberwolves side.

In fact, the fans only look at the data, and the scene is actually not that exaggerated.

It's just that Kobe looked like he was taking over the game, Gasol and Bynum didn't get so many opportunities.

In addition, the Timberwolves' inside line is somewhat restrained. In the case of hand-to-hand combat, Love and Pekovic are really strong, basically two white strongmen.

In addition, the Lakers played an insider earlier in order to rotate.

Then it's not even an opponent. The Lakers' twin towers can still resist a resistance.

On the outside, Fisher let Curry play in a few minutes.

They replaced insider Blake, and they couldn't get Curry.

Curry's physical fitness can only be regarded as average among guards, but the Lakers' guards are not even at the average level, so Curry can still use his body, speed, or strength to bully his opponents, and there is no one else.

In this case, the Lakers can be said to have lost the inside and outside line, playing much worse than they played.

The Lakers certainly weren't an opponent during the rotation, so they didn't launch a counterattack until the second quarter.

The method is not new, it is low-post singles inside.

Bynum's transformation this season is here. He already looks good with the ball.

He didn't play out in the first quarter. In the second quarter, he fucked Whiteside first, and after Pekovic went up, he was fucked several times.

That is to say, Bynum's free throws are not very good, otherwise the Lakers may really catch up with the score.

In terms of strength, Pekovic is definitely stronger than Bynum, but Bynum's low-post skills are better than several insiders of the Timberwolves, so the feeling is also very sharp.

Bynum's static talent is also very good, so the player disappears inexplicably behind, which is definitely a waste of talent.

When Bynum showed off, the Timberwolves did not consider flanking.

This buddy is actually not stable, and his efficiency will decrease in the end with normal defense.

In addition, the Timberwolves' offense has always been there, as long as they maintain a good lead.

Bynum feels good, better than Kobe, Zhang Sixin thinks very clearly.

"In the game against the Lakers, Kobe and the Twin Towers will definitely perform. What we have to do is to prevent other X factors from appearing." Zhang Sixin said.

In the first half, the Timberwolves still took the lead firmly.

Zhang Sixin said during the intermission: "Kobe will definitely strengthen his attack in the second half, and we will use various methods to reduce his offensive efficiency."

Bynum was in good form in the second quarter. Will the Lakers attack Bynum at the beginning of the second half?

It's possible, but less likely, because Kobe believed in himself more when the score fell behind.

So Zhang Sixin began to arrange, and the defense against Kobe changed from a limited flank to a comprehensive flank.
