Towns passed this ball quite hidden, but after being awakened by Tang Shuai, Noel's concentration was improved by a level above the first half. He responded quickly and caught the ball.[((

After the basketball was touched, it changed its original dribble trajectory and then rolled towards the free throw line.

The next second, Batum, Deng, Raven and Wiggins, four nearby people rushed out toward the ball.

Wiggins was the closest to the game and took the lead in grabbing the ball.

A hint of joy appeared on his face.

But just as he got the ball, he had not had time to catch it firmly.

The next second, Batum stabbed the ball with both hands.

The basketball was not cut off, but it was stabbed out of Wiggins's hand.

The basketball flew straight toward the sideline, and Wiggins turned around to catch the ball, but he couldn't hold it back when he encountered it.

The ball flew directly out of bounds, the Lakers' ball rights!

The scene was restless, and the Lakers showed a completely different state from the first half after coming up.

At this time, Thibodeau walked to the sidelines and yelled at the players returning to defense. Even if he was still ahead of the double-digit score difference, he seemed to be uneasy at all.

Tang Shuai looked relaxed at this time. Although he still had no way to easily crack the Timberwolves' defense, the players finally showed the competitive state they should have.

He held the ball to the frontcourt. This time he called out a tactic, allowing Batum and Deng to run to the opposite side along the baselines on both sides. Just as the two were running, he suddenly broke into the back and compressed the defense.

The Timberwolves' defense suddenly shrank in. He saw the opportunity and directly threw his hand to Deng who was running in the outside line.

Wiggins was only one meter away from Deng at this time, and he could make up for defense by turning back. However, Deng was unprecedentedly decisive in this ball. Without hesitation for a second, he directly took a three-pointer.

"Bang!"

Deng's three-pointer made the iron iron, which made the whole first half. It was almost unrealistic to find the feel at once.

But at this moment, Noel pushed Aldridge out of the basket and took the lead. Because of his concentration, he judged the landing point of the ball quite accurately. After jumping up, he directly took the ball into his arms.

The next second, he directly chose to turn around.

He and Aldridge fought each other.

"beep!"

The whistle of the referee on the sidelines rang out, and Aldridge made a downward move when defending.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Aldridge couldn't help but jump up. This was his third personal foul in this game. He only had one in the first half, but he didn't expect to get two at the beginning of the second half.

He ran to the referee to communicate, but the referee did not mean to change the judgment.

Aldridge has good talent, but he still lacks defensive experience. After the Lakers intend to attack the basket, his fouls can't be counted naturally.

Thibodeau did not mean to substitute immediately at this time, but waved to Aldridge and went to the sidelines to remind him.

Noel's two free throw opportunities.

As an inside player, Noel's free throws have a shooting percentage of more than 70%, which is a very good level. Now, he has successfully made both free throws in line with the harassment of the front-row audience.

At this time, the audience finally stopped aimless chatting and focused their attention on the court. After returning from the second half, the Lakers came up and played a 4-o-o, narrowing the score to 11 points.

For the Timberwolves' attack, Towns did not go to the low post anymore, but instead received the ball at the top of the arc. After his teammates were running, a beautiful pass was given to the empty cut Wiggins.

Wiggins took the ball and a beautiful horizontal trolley avoided Noel's frontal defense and shot from the other side of the basket.

The ball was done perfectly, but because of the strong confrontation with Noel in the air, the force of the attack was less. The basketball slapped the basket and then rolled out, and Gasol turned around and caught it.

Gasol gave the ball to Tang Shuai, who held the ball to the frontcourt.

When Gasol reached the three-point line, he greeted him, and the two men directly picked and rolled the ball. He held the ball and rushed in, pressing the defenders on both sides to pull them over. He raised his hand and the white chocolate pass bag was instantly activated. A beautiful pass without looking at the ball, and the basket was in the hands of Batum on the right wing in the next second, and it was an open opportunity.

Batum did not hesitate and took the ball.

The basketball drew a spiraling parabola in the air and fell directly towards the basket.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Batum made a three-pointer to accurately put his bag!

Compared to Deng, his touch seemed to be coming back much faster.

After hitting a three-pointer, Batum suddenly waved his fist at him. Obviously, this three-pointer was quite relieved for him.

The Timberwolves called a timeout.

After Batum's three-pointer, the Lakers made a strong counterattack wave of 7-o, and they had already chased the score to only 8 points.

When the game ended, Tang Shuai, Batum, Noel and Deng both cunted. Their performance in the second half was completely different from the first half.

"Have done a good job, keep this motivated and recover the score difference bit by bit. We still have time and we still have a chance." Billups clapped and encouraged the players who ended up.

After the timeout, the Timberwolves attacked and Wiggins played singles with the ball.

Deng seemed a little difficult to defend. After Wiggins took a step back and attracted Noel's assisting defense, he hit the earth with a beautiful shot to Towns. Towns directly turned around and passed Gasol, jumping up a heavy button with both hands.

The atmosphere on the scene was ignited, and Towns' progress this season is definitely obvious to all. If his performance last year was just like rookie Duncan, then he is now infinitely close.

Thibodeau nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines at this time. The existence of Towns was a large part of the reason why he was willing to coach the Timberwolves in the offseason.

"Relax, that's just a goal, relax!" Tang Shuai shouted and encouraged his teammates while holding the ball.

He advanced to the frontcourt, and Rubio made a layup immediately, stretching his hands out to interfere with his passing route.

After seeing this, Tang Shuai's right hand swayed, then turned around without hesitation and rushed towards the basket.

Rubio reached out to interfere with the route, but the center of gravity would definitely be unstable. The ball was retracted and it had been cleaned.

Tang Shuai rushed the ball very decisively.

Towns and Wiggins on both sides immediately came over, and he pushed forward one step further and threw the ball to the right side of the basket.

Deng jumped up and then took the ball and drifted shot.

Wiggins had no time to return to defense, so he could only watch Deng use his regression to send the ball into the basket with a negligible bounce.

The difference between the two sides is still 8 points.

"Cole, you have to assist in this position." After coming back to his senses, Towns pointed to the right side of the basket and said to Aldridge.

Aldridge nodded, but judging from his expression, he seemed to think that he shouldn't help defending the ball, after all, there was still Noel at the basket.

For the Timberwolves' offense, Towns held the ball at the top of the arc to support it.

Because of the continuous scoring on the offensive end, Lakers players have become much more hard-working on the defensive end. The Timberwolves' offense was not a strong point, but they did not even get out of the offensive opportunity at this time.

Seeing that the attack time had passed, Towns did not wait any longer, lowered the center of gravity and directly chose to break through.

Gasol couldn't keep up with his pace, but he still firmly occupied the defensive position with his experience.

Towns got to the basket and turned around and hooked.

However, without throwing away Gasol, he was quickly disturbed by the latter's long arms.

"Bang!"

The basketball bounced out of the frame and was caught by Noel.

When Tang Shuai saw Towns attacking, he ran out and raised his hand to ask for the ball.

Noel threw the ball out directly.

Tang Shuai jumped up and caught the ball, went straight forward, pressing Rubio, who was retreating, to the Timberwolves' half. After the Ai exclusive OSover package was activated, he scored a beautiful layup.

There was a turmoil at the scene, and many fans could no longer sit still.

After the goal was entered, the Lakers had already scored 6 points!

You know, the third quarter only took less than five minutes to begin!

A reversal script seems to be ongoing.

At this moment, Thibodeau followed and called for a short pause.

This pause was screaming very suddenly. You should know that the last pause had just been playing 2 rounds.

"What are you anxious about? What are you anxious about? Especially you, Carl, you are the core of the team's offense and defense. What are you doing when you are so anxious about attacking!" After the game, Thibodeau shouted at the players. Obviously, the team's performance during this period made him quite dissatisfied.

In fact, this performance is reasonable. The Timberwolves entered the playoffs again after twelve years. The team is basically full of young children from the playoffs. After being chased, it is normal to be anxious.

"Stay the pace, Carl, get out to the inside!" Thibodeau shouted without hesitation at the end of the pause.

&nbero1ves!”

After returning from the timeout, the fans at the scene began to cheer for the home team loudly again.

Rubio took the ball to the frontcourt, and when Towns fell to the position, he handed the ball over directly.

Towns' offense at low post was quite intimidating, and Noel quickly double-teamed up.

Towns then sent the ball back to Rubio, who then threw the ball to Aldridge, who had already pulled from the inside to the free throw line.

In terms of passing ability alone, Rubio is not much worse than Shuai Tang.

Aldridge received the ball at the free throw line, turned around and gave the ball to Wiggins who was running over, taking advantage of the situation to take a pick-and-roll.

Aldridge's biggest advantage lies in his shoulder width. This pick-and-roll directly blocked Deng, who was defending and Noel, who was resting the defense.

Wiggins took advantage of the situation and pulled out his hand.

"Bang!"

The ball was a little worse, but Towns jumped high from the right and followed by a one-handed patch.

A burst of excitement roar suddenly broke out at the scene.

After Towns dunked the ball, the gap was widened to 8 points again!

It is no accident that the Timberwolves can achieve such a result this season. Thibodeau's involvement played a big role, not only because of his coaching level, but also his coaching style. The Timberwolves are all potential rookies. They usually think they are the boss when playing basketball, but with his severity, they all become "behaved".

This change by Towns is exactly the result. (To be continued.)8
