Grab Curry at the start

Chapter 352 Unstoppable
"Hold it!" Mike Brown roared from the sidelines.

DeRozan was on the court at this time and Mike Brown thought of it. The Timberwolves basically followed this routine, but Curry didn't go down, which is abnormal.

NBA head coaches are not fools, and the opponent also knows that the Timberwolves will attack when Kobe is off the court.

They didn't hold back at this time, and it would be too late for Kobe to take over the game.

But the Timberwolves also have risks in doing so. If the Lakers resist, they will consume the players' physical strength in vain. This time, the critical moment may become the Lakers' breakthrough.

Of course, the Timberwolves are not as risky as the Lakers.

Not only because they lead the series, but also because the main players of the Timberwolves rest longer than the main players of the Lakers. Curry will fight hard at this time, but there will be no problem at all.

Even if nothing is accomplished in those few minutes, the Timberwolves have nothing to lose.

This is the advantage of a strong lineup. The physical strength of the playoff players is well protected and they can fight at any time.

For the Timberwolves, this level is not desperate at all, and the Lakers can't let the Timberwolves achieve that level.

It's a sad topic for the Lakers.

But in competitive sports, Cai already has to bear more pressure.

The Lakers wanted to hold up, but they really didn't.

Of course, the Timberwolves won the game in less than 3 minutes. In fact, they only led by 3 points. After all, the opponent is also relatively well prepared.

But for the lagging Lakers, a 3-point gap is also a troublesome thing. It has always been more difficult for them to score as they go to the back.

Kobe played again, and the Lakers were ready for a decisive battle.

At this time, Kobe played very purely, and he just did it when he got the ball.

The previous tactical cooperation is a thing of the past. Even if there is an obvious vacancy for teammates, it is hard to say whether to pass or not.

After all, the players who take over the game are all so desperate, and if they have too many thoughts in their minds, they may be inaccurate.

However, in the face of the Timberwolves' pincer attack, it is actually difficult to make accurate shots.

Kobe was fearless, but after halfway through the final quarter, the Lakers still did not narrow the gap.

"I can't watch it anymore. If the Lakers continue to play like this, there will be no suspense in the game. Kobe is too lonely."

"What if Kobe doesn't play? Do other Lakers players dare to shoot? There is no one who stretches their hips to this extent."

"The Timberwolves are really strong. How can their tactics combine star ability and team tactics so well."

"The Lakers have also started to attack Curry, what did they do?"

"Hehe, it's useless to pinch Curry. The Timberwolves' role players are much better than the Lakers."

"Kobe forcibly made a foul by the Timberwolves again, and the Lakers only had Kobe fighting, crying."

"Big heart, Paul George really dares to shoot, the contrast is obvious!"

The Lakers were really miserable. At the critical moment, no one scored except for Kobe.

Although Kobe has more possession of the ball, it is not that he has never passed the ball, but the others really don't feel that they are the team's starters at this time.

The Lakers' pincer attack made it difficult for Curry to score points, but he scored the ball, and the Timberwolves did not lack scoring points.

There is no way around this, the Lakers have a good defense, but they don't have the ability to pinch Curry and lock up all the other Timberwolves at the same time.

As time passed, the Lakers' previously aggressive home players were about to crumble.

If this continues, the Timberwolves will win the match point.

Although it is impossible for the series to end, if the Timberwolves lead 3:0, the Lakers will have little chance.

However, no matter how anxious the fans are, the Lakers will not be able to attack at this time.

In fact, in the previous games, the Lakers did not have a time to attack.

This season they are not good on the offensive end, maybe not to the level of the Mavericks, but there are actually fewer players than the Mavericks, and they are all offensive problems.

Seeing Kobe face-to-face with defensive stars again and again, many Lakers fans cheered for Kobe.

But it is still difficult to solve the problem with determination alone.

In the last 2 minutes of time, the Timberwolves still led by 8 points.

Kobe first pulled out against the defense, and then forced DeRozan to foul.

Lakers fans felt a glimmer of hope again. Although time was running out, the man who struggled on the court was Kobe, and he could definitely create miracles.

But, coming back, Curry hit again.

Curry first picks and rolls with Love, and after being flanked, he splits the ball. The Lakers rotate defensively. Love is assigned to the weak side. DeRozan breaks through.

A three-pointer was hit, and the entire stadium was silent.

It was too shocking. Of course, Kobe hadn't given up yet, and he pushed back against the defense to create damage again.

It's a pity that time is running out, and the Timberwolves will start to control the rhythm next.

When the time came to the last ten seconds, the Lakers could only choose to shoot a three-pointer.

After Kobe missed, Love got the rebound, and Artest fouled immediately.

After Love made a free throw, Kobe tried another three-pointer, but unfortunately he still didn't make it.

There is no way, the Lakers still have no way to retain the victory when they return to the home court.

Kobe stood on the court with his hips akimbo, his expression very lonely.

The Lakers lost just like that. Kobe scored the highest points of the two teams, but he still couldn't stop the Timberwolves from winning.

After the game, Kobe fell into a dull mood, and their head coach Mike Brown said with some difficulty: "We messed up some things, and we could have done better. Fortunately, we still have another chance. The series is not over yet, and we will not give up."

Zhang Sixin said: "This is a game full of physical confrontation, both sides played very tough. This is very demanding mentally, requires a high degree of concentration, the game is very ups and downs, we don't have many shooting opportunities, so we have to control the rhythm. We did it!"

"I can always trust those guys on the team, they want to win and they will do it."

Milicic, who had five fouls but sent five big caps, said after the game: "Our guys did a good job in the battle tonight and didn't give up playing basketball that could win. In the first half, our defense was a bit slow. We challenged each other at halftime and did better in the second half."

The Timberwolves won again, so there is only one last suspense left in the series, whether they will be swept.

They've swept the Mavericks, and now they have a chance to cleanly beat the Lakers.

Compared with other series, the Timberwolves have always been so eye-catching.

It feels that there is not much suspense in the series, and the fourth game will start two days later, which still attracts the attention of a large number of fans. They hope to witness another tough performance of the Timberwolves.

Kobe, is he still able to lead the Lakers to stop it?
