After losing to the Warriors, the Lakers achieved 54 wins and 16 losses in their record.

Currently, they are still ranked first in the West, leading the second-place Spurs by half a win.

Their next opponent is the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Lakers' team flew to Minneapolis overnight. Speaking of which, this city is still the Lakers' lair.

If it weren't for the time being in Minneapolis, they wouldn't have given the name "kers" that is poetic in English and unknown.

Anyway, everyone gets used to it while shouting. Think about it carefully, "Lakeman"? What the hell?

Are there still "tang people", "he people" or "hai people"?

The Lakers left Minneapolis early, and only the Timberwolves entered the city for many years.

This shows that the people in this city still love basketball very much, the Timberwolves team is far less capable than the Lakers.

In short, when looking at the history of the Timberwolves, it is a collection of blood and tears, brain-dead history, mistakes, and five major selections.

Before Li Liang participated in the draft, he came to the Timberwolves to try out.

Later, because the Timberwolves were famous, Tunnel gave up the idea of ​​playing here.

Besides, Li Liang doesn’t like places where it’s too cold, he needs sunshine.

After a day off in the hotel, the team conducted simple training.

As the playoffs approaches, the team's training intensity is gradually decreasing to reserve more physical reserves for the players.

Li Liang took the time to rest and adjust, and he put McGrady's task aside for the time being.

I am already very tired in the away game. If I do the task again, I will lose the game.

Although the team's requirement is to keep the top three, Li Liang thinks that if he can win the first place, why not?

In the playoffs, home advantage is still very important.

Currently, the Miami Heat are in a crazy winning streak. After defeating the Orlando Magic on the 25th, they have won 27 consecutive victories.

I wonder if this terrible winning streak will continue.

Currently, they are still 6 games away from the Lakers' 33 consecutive wins, and they have successfully surpassed the Lakers in terms of record.

With the advantage of winning and playing poor, he jumped to the top of the league.

Of course, winning streak is a huge honor, but it is also a huge pressure.

When the winning streak accumulates to a certain level, the whole world will want to defeat you.

Any team you encounter will resist with all your strength and target you from all sides until you defeat you.

Therefore, the Heat's game pressure is actually quite huge.

In comparison, the Lakers are very relaxed.

And if Kobe is not present, it will be even more relaxed!

At night, Li Liang entered the system and saw that, he started to feel itchy again.

Relax, why don’t you try it?

Li Liang could not resist Kedinger's temptation and decided to enter the box and change his ability value data.

Still entering the box, the six-dimensional picture was still in front of me.

Li Liang thought about it and still couldn't move defense and physical fitness, which was the basis of the game.

It’s better to attack. I wonder what kind of expert I will become this time?

...

On the evening of the 25th, at the target center in Minneapolis, the Lakers began their second game of four consecutive visitors.

After the opening ceremony, both sides gave an introduction to the players' appearance.

Li Liang started again, and he looked full of confidence and radiant tonight!

Kobe is still sitting on the sidelines in a suit. In fact, his hands are itchy and he wants to play.

At present, his ankle no longer hurts and he can participate in team training normally.

If the team has poor record, Kobe will definitely return to the game.

But now the Lakers have this condition to allow Kobe to rest, so let's have more rest.

After the appearance ceremony, Li Liang rarely ran to the technical station to get some magnesium powder, and ran to Kobe to play with it.

Then he wandered around in front of Kobe, as if he wanted to attract Kobe's attention.

When Kobe saw him like this, his heart was filled with no name and wanted to give him a jiyi or an elbow.

“hat’s           up! (What’s wrong with you!)”

Kobe couldn't help but say, go up and take a photo of Li Liang, is this kid crazy today?

Li Liang laughed and said, "Boy, take a good look at my performance today. Just rest on the court, don't have to play."

Kobe was confused. This kid was quite normal before.

What happened tonight?

After the Timberwolves and Lakers' match began, Kobe soon knew the answer.

The Timberwolves' starting lineups tonight are Pekovic, Derek Williams, Rubio, Andrei Kirirenko and Lucredno.

This lineup is also unique. Four of the five starters are white. It is really rare for NBAs who are currently in power in blacks.

Among these five white people, three are foreigners, each from three different countries.

On the Timberwolves' bench, there were four white men, including the main substitute rotation, including Schevid, Zeiss Bardinger, JJ Barrea and Greg Steinsma.

If the NBA requires each team to only send white players to play, the Timberwolves is probably the strongest one.

However, the biggest problem with such a lineup is naturally the lack of athletic ability.

The Lakers' athletic ability is very average, and the Timberwolves' athletic ability is not much better than the Lakers.

In recent years, the Timberwolves have signed up a lot of high positions, but it’s a pity that they can always perfectly avoid the correct answer.

To be honest, if I were the management of the Timberwolves, I wouldn’t do any job. I would copy it according to the draft recommendations in the forum. I would probably not be as miserable as I am now.

Just a team of people like the Timberwolves with more than half a white lineup is probably called "in vain".

After the game started, the players who were defending Li Liang were not others, they were really famous for the Russian AK47, Kirilenko.

This once all-around monster, the blocking maniac at the forward position, returned to the Timberwolves this season after playing for a season in Russia and was signed by the Timberwolves.

As for why the Timberwolves signed Kirilenko, a past player who has declined significantly and has returned to his hometown to play, it is unknown.

Maybe because he is white.

Li Liang faced Kirilenko's defense and was well-behaved in the first few minutes of the first quarter, which was not much different from the usual game.

If there is any difference, it is that this kid doesn't shoot three points again.

Needless to say, the ability value of the three-pointer in the open space was lost and turned into other projects.

Kobe was staring at the situation on the court, and he wanted to see what Li Liang was selling.

Both sides played very smoothly at the beginning of the offense. After all, the Timberwolves' head coach is Adelman, and he has always been very good at coaching the offense.

However, in the middle of the first quarter, the shooting percentages of both sides began to decline.

The game was a bit messy, and neither side scored much.

Rubio was empty by the Lakers on the outside during the offense, and then missed a three-pointer.

Howard won the backcourt rebound and handed it to Nash to take the ball.

Li Liang was in a high pick-and-roll position as usual, but this time he was in a deep position to cover people and stood at the ox horn position.

When Nash returned the ball, Kirilenko's defense quickly rose.

Li Liang held the ball and shook it in front of Kirilenko for a while, and then suddenly made a strong shot!

In the ox horn position, the ball was even scored with a strong shot from the basket!

Kobe was stunned on the bench.

Hum? Isn’t this my trick?

When playing the Jazz, Kobe used this trick to score points on Kirirenko.

"Luck must be luck." Kobe thought that Li Liang could not learn this trick.

In order to master this move, Kobe spent almost 10 years of hard work and accumulated experience on the field.

Only then did it reach the point of being able to switch freely, ignore defense, and directly throw yourself to the opponent.

Li Liang...

Alas, the Lakers counterattacked, Li Liang counterattacked and caught the ball on the left bull horn position, and shot again from mid-range shot against the defense!

Go in again?
To be continued...
