The next quarter game started and the Forest team attacked first.

Garnett was not present, Marbury was truly free to take charge of the ball.

In just one minute, he quickly became the brightest star on the field.

Too slow.

Harper's footsteps could not keep up, and Marbury used his speed to burst into a sieve.

Too soft.

In Marbury's view, Horry's basket protection is like a good thing, hitting the basket at every hit.

He can penetrate the Lakers' defense with one shot.

Change direction acceleration, three-step layup, and one shot in the air.

Continuously changing directions, lifting the ball and making a layup, passing it behind Horry at the basket. You can hear Joe Smith's sound of blowing up the basket without looking at it.

Then, there were the fans' applause.

Without Garnett, Marbury felt much happier, quicker and more comfortable in the rhythm, like a free fish in the sea.

At this moment, he felt that he could compete with five in one, but no, and the situation would not be at a disadvantage.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Marbury was able to break through and score a layup, but also break through and pass the ball to assist his teammates in scoring, and even showed off a three-point shooting from the outside.

This is his weakness, not that he can shoot. When he is in good condition, he can also throw the game to death.

In the first two minutes, Marbury opened his firepower on the offensive end and led the Timberwolves to a 8-2 offensive, instantly overturning the score.

The Lakers' rotation lineup doesn't look as powerful as they imagined.

He is worthy of being the future man who claims to be the "No. 1 Control in the World".

To be fair, in terms of attack ability, he does have the ability to be happy.

You said Iverson is better than him?

Iverson is the point guard?

If you are not short, you have to be a point guard.

On the contrary, playing the point guard can also play the feeling of a point guard!

Marbury's chaos is super powerful, and you can drag the rhythm of the game into a melee, and then defeat your opponent with your physical talent.

Harper, after all, is 37 years old, has been selected for the second team of the best defensive team, named after him, and has been named the "Harper lineup". He has strength, but he has stayed in the years.

Moreover, there are problems with the Lakers' second team running-in. There are no fixed core players, Horry, Jones, Fox, etc., all want to return to the starting lineup. It is really hard to determine who will play the sixth man.

There is no fixed offensive and defensive system, and each game changes, which is something that Li Mu deserves to reflect on.

Sometimes, the cards in your hand are too good. After playing the king, the cards behind them are not sure how they will come out.

In the 6th minute of the second quarter, the score gap on the court was not big. I felt that the main players had enough rest. Li Mu immediately replaced O'Neal, Kobe and Billups.

At this time, the Lakers' lineup is as follows:

Billups, Kobe, Jones, Horry and O'Neal.

That's right, this is an attack lineup. Li Mu wants to try it out and attack with all his strength to see if he can take the game away in one wave.

Because Marbury and Joe Smith have played for nearly twenty minutes, it is time to change.

In this case, there is only one Garnett left on the Timberwolves to play.

The game continued. As Marbury got out of the field, Billups immediately went up to press, and the point guard who replaced Marbury was James Robinson.

The name was so strong that it was not worthy of the name, but he was forced to do so by Billups. Kobe took the opportunity to scoop away the basketball, and with a clang, he made a one-handed deduction and scored two points.

Finally, Anthony Pierre and James Robinson fought together before transporting the basketball to the frontcourt and handing it over to Garnett for attack.

At this time, Horry is the flaw of the Lakers and Garnett is the strongest point of the Timberwolves.

Without suspense, Horry was beaten up by the celebrity power forward again.

In every game, facing the Western Conference team, it seems that they have to go through such difficulties and challenges.

No wonder this season, he lost his starting power forward position.

Fortunately, what Li Mu cares most about in this lineup is offense.

O'Neal received the ball in the penalty area and beat Garnett alone. No, it was Dean Garnett, not Kevin Garnett.

But no matter who it is, O'Neal only has one move, catch the ball, sit, knock it away, turn around, and dunk...

No one can withstand a weight of 130 kilograms. If he can't withstand, the inside line will be lost.

After playing for a few minutes, Li Mu realized that the Lakers' offensive lineup was not as good as expected. I won't mention the running-in first, so I don't know how to divide the ball just by just being the ball.

The five of them are all players who need the ball to play, and one ball is obviously not enough for them to score.

Now there is no tactical system to put them together, and the effect that can only result in an ending of 1+1 less than 2.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves' lineup is really bad, and Garnett does not have the scoring ability of Marbury to score five at a time, so his offensive firepower has been reduced by one dimension.

Finally, with the Timberwolves as a companion, the situation on the field turned to the Lakers.

After the second quarter, the score was 56 to 45, and the Lakers took an 11-point lead.

...

In the second half, the game will come back.

Timberwolves head coach Sanders knew that the slightest chance to defeat the Lakers was only Marbury and Garnett. Only those two people cooperated to play strong offensive firepower and could they compete with the Lakers.

However, he underestimated the impact of the sky-high contract. Garnett received a large contract with a starting salary of 14 million yuan, and Marbury received a rookie annual salary of hundreds of thousands of yuan. Moreover, the team was unwilling to give him a sky-high contract.

This is not a pleasant play!

This splits the brotherly relationship between Marbury and Garnett.

Sanders asked Marbury and Garnett to play pick-and-roll tactics with the goal of targeting the Lakers' point guard and power forward position weaknesses. The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

On the court, after Marbury picked and rolled, the breakthrough layup was still sharp, but the passing was gone.

The two played pick-and-roll tactics, but they played the Marbury one-man show, which made Garnett play a supporting role. I don’t know what Marbury thought?

It can only be concluded that this person is too "unique" and is a "lone wolf". Don't he know that he is just a point guard?

Passing and assisting is where he is.

By the way, the third quarter started, and the Lakers didn't exert much force, but the Timberwolves looked like they were about to fall. The Timberwolves shook and turned into a Husky.

O'Neal felt a little sleepy and wanted to make trouble.

So, on the field, the Lakers attacked, and O'Neal took the initiative to bypass Joe Smith and rushed to the left area guarded by Garnett.

That's right, he wanted to see what kind of skills does this new wolf king who has been in the league for three years and can get it in the fourth year, and he has an annual salary of the same level as him, instead of dealing with the 95th No. 1 pick Joe Smith who only gets a "over one million annual salary".

Both the No. 1 pick, O'Neal was ashamed to fight with Joe Smith.

O'Neal leaned against Garnett for the ball, and Garnett came over clearly and looked at Jo Smith on the other side.

Joe Smith replied to his look: Brother, I will get more than one million, and I can only help you get here.

Seeing that his teammates were not expected, Garnett had to force himself.

Billups quickly passed the ball, opened up the space, and watched the fun.

O'Neal, who received the basketball, sat on his back and chiseled three or four times under the basket. Garnett fought and retreated, and retreated to the bottom line.

O'Neal then turned around and waved the ball into the basket. He found that Garnett had not pounced on him, so he grabbed the ball with one hand and hung it on the basket with a clang.

"Shake, let Garnett understand that he is not suitable to stay in the penalty area."

Next, O'Neal continued to match Garnett.

Garnett also learned the essence and used his sensitive body to defend O'Neal around the front, without giving O'Neal a chance to catch the ball.

Without a ball, there is no harm.

O'Neal had no choice about Garnett's move. He couldn't pull it out and catch the ball, right?

In that case, he should be laughed at.

Such an episode cannot change the situation on the field.

The Timberwolves' lineup is not as good as the Lakers, and they cannot play together, and the score is gradually widened.

After the first three quarters, the Lakers have led the Timberwolves by more than 20 points.

Li Mu decided to clock in and get off work. O'Neal stayed on the court for a while and got a relatively satisfactory score before leaving for a break.

Because Marbury is still on the court, Kobe is naturally still fighting to the end and confronting the 96 Golden Generation.

Buzz ~~

As the scorer was on the scorer, the game time ended.

The score was 121 to 98, and the Lakers beat the Timberwolves by 33 points, achieving five consecutive victories in the new season.

O'Neal scored 39 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, and continued to have no opponent and was unstoppable.

Kobe scored 27 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, and he also had all his firepower.

Marbury scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, and the books were very beautiful.

Garnett scored 22 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks and 2 steals, with comprehensive data and obvious core position.

Just looking at the data of the core players, the gap between the two teams does not seem to be big.

However, when comparing with other players, it is not the same level at all.
