Of course, Kobe's worries were in vain. Li Liang was just using it, and he just pressed his face basket to 87 o'clock.

At the same time, the shooting value of 73 points was lucky. It didn't change. No matter how much the others changed, it didn't matter.

In the first quarter, Li Liang made 3 of 4 shots and scored 6 points. All three shots were strong mid-range shots against Kirilenko.

This kind of playing style is something I have never seen before.

Mike Brown dared not ask or think.

Did he ask Li Liang to practice it?

Don't care!

Anyway, if you put Li Liang on the court, he will always have surprises.

After taking the lead in the first quarter, both sides entered a stable period on the court.

The so-called stable period means that everyone attacks and defenses casually.

If the Lakers don't compete for victory, it doesn't matter if the Timberwolves lose, they have missed the playoffs anyway.

If the record is a little worse, you can still win a good pick in the summer, although it is useless.

It is said that the 2013 draft was a small New Year, and there are no supernovas that are particularly worthy of attention.

Therefore, the teams at the bottom are not very enthusiastic about playing, and they don’t want to win or lose, so they just want to do it.

Such a competition is the most suitable for Li Liang to play with his new skills.

After all, strong shots in the face basket are the ability to adjust data by the system, and are not as natural as you practice it yourself.

As soon as I took action, I always felt that I was confused, but in the end I got confused.

There is no feeling that you know you can shoot this shot as soon as you shoot.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves did not perform any targeted defense, so they let Kirilianko defend normally.

In the second quarter, Li Liang made another three more shots from the mid-range side basket.

His sudden mid-range shot caught the Timberwolves off guard.

The score difference slowly widened to more than 10 points, and the Lakers played more and more.

If the tactics cannot be opened, try to hand it over to Li Liang to handle the ball in the horn position.

In fact, everyone is quite used to fighting like this. Kobe used to be like this.

However, Kobe's way of handling the ball is more diverse and rich, and the wings on the top of the low-level arc are OK.

But Kobe's favorite is the horn position. When his touch feels, he stands here.

When you get the ball, no matter who comes to defend, you can make a shot after adjustment and you can take action.

What defensive strategies, what defensive positions, and what defensive strength are all useless.

This is the so-called "break-breaking" offense, which makes all your defensive efforts become a decoration.

After several strong shots, Li Liang personally experienced the power of this offense.

The Timberwolves gradually couldn't hold on, so it was time to consider 20 shots.

Surrender and lose half of it, and don't throw yourself into the death.

In the previous years, the Lakers had completed 21 consecutive victories against the Timberwolves and had not lost to the Little Wolves in several years.

Psychologically, the Lakers have a huge advantage.

Of course, Adelman would not replace the main player directly, but the players were no longer so desperate on the court.

After all, at the end of the season, it is confirmed that it will not be able to enter the playoffs. If you try hard to hurt your body, wouldn’t it be a loss?

Li Liang was not only the Lakers who performed well, but Howard also played at the level of the striker tonight.

Facing Pekovic, Howard has an overall advantage in physical fitness.

He sent a nail-board hat in the inside, making Barrya Badinger and others dizzy.

The two sides have maintained a score difference of about 10 points.

The Lakers maintain a good defense and basically do not give the Timberwolves a chance to counterattack.

The turn-based game that played against the Wizards before was really hurt. In order to avoid this, Mike Brown readjusted his defense.

The defensive requirements for chasing three-pointers and quick counterattacks have become higher, and Li Liang must chase the opponent's counterattack propeller as soon as possible.

Li Liang basically gave up the fight for frontcourt rebounds and retreated immediately.

Also, Jamison's playing time was compressed, increasing O'Neal Jr.'s time to be present.

The height of the inside line has been increased, making the inside line guarding the basket more stable.

In the second half, the Timberwolves launched a strong counterattack in the third quarter.

Adelman is very good at teaching according to his aptitude on the offensive end. Players usually play more comfortably under his command.

You can display your own strengths on the offensive end.

Rubio, known as the "Spanish Golden Boy", looks and temperament are very similar to the former pistol Malawi.

It’s a pity that he only has a similar appearance and temperament. Rubio doesn’t look like the most powerful shot of the pistol.

Shooting is Rubio's biggest weakness. He has done a good job in organizing defense, but he is not sure of shooting.

The Lakers' weakness is originally the point guard's defense. For example, playing against the Wizards, the Lakers are almost killed by Wall.

Rubio is not good, and he dares not vote if the Lakers often let him go.

But in the third quarter, Rubio suddenly found some offensive feeling and he scored two three-pointers in a row from the outside.

He also made two assists, assisting Pekovic to make a layup, and assisting Kirilianko to make a jump shot.

The difference in points was narrowed all of a sudden.

Adelman is quite experienced in using Rubio.

He did not let Rubio hold the ball in large quantities, but instead let Rubio play without the ball and cover it.

Instead of letting Rubio make the first offensive attack, he is a tactical hub.

This covers up Rubio's huge defect in shooting, so that the team will not attack four to five as soon as Rubio gets the ball.

However, the Timberwolves' problem is not the offense, but the defense.

At this time, they began to simply deal with Li Liang's point - plush clipping

But double-teaming is useless, because Li Liang can pass the ball!

At the top of the arc, he simply hits the ground inwards, and hits the ground inwards with one squat.

One pass Meeks made a throw shot, and the other passed O'Neal Jr. made a layup.

Please, they would have been able to support the top of the arc and hit the ground and pass the ball six.

Can this simple double-team work?

Double-teaming will work better against small players if you can't pass the ball.

A tall player like Li Liang who can pass the ball has poor double-teaming effect.

Do you see which team will easily double-team James?

James has such vision and strong ability to shoot, so he would rather let him shoot in two steps than double-team him to pass.

If you want to double-team, you have to double-team Kobe like this!

Anyway, he won't pass it on.

Of course, Kobe has transformed into a triple-double prince this season, and he is no longer the same as before.

The Timberwolves' counterattack was resolved by the Lakers' smooth attack.

At this time, Li Liang had efficiently scored 15 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds.

If you want to say what's different from Kobe, his ability to break through and foul is still far inferior.

For such accurate free throws, there are usually three or four free throws in each game, and there are even no free throws.

In terms of ability to create damage, he is still far from those real old stars.

The Lakers made an extremely efficient offense in the third quarter. Although the Timberwolves scored 33 points in a single quarter, the Lakers scored an astonishing 40 points.

The gap between the two sides was widened in one fell swoop.

After stabilizing the chrysanthemum in the third quarter, both sides slowly spent the time in the fourth quarter.

But Adelman did not give up as the head coach. After all, he was a famous coach. How could he surrender casually?

So, Adelman chose the tactic of killing Huo in desperation!

He replaced the substitute and began to foul Howard, send him to the free throw line, creating more offensive opportunities for the Timberwolves.

And this tactic really played a role.

Howard lost all the first four free throws, giving the Timberwolves two chances to counterattack.
