Staples Center.
At this time, the Lakers fans, who had been holding back for almost a whole quarter, finally burst into incredible cheers and applause, and finally took back Staples' initiative with Coach D's waving arm.
Wade's offense just now was so beautiful!
It's so beautiful that even the Timberwolves fans at the scene are still stunned.
Isn’t Wade unwilling to play for Coach D?
Why did Wade suddenly show such fighting power that he only had at his peak?
Did Wade even have such fighting ability at his peak?
It’s simply hard to understand, okay!
At this time, the huge cheers and applause from the Lakers fans made it equally difficult to understand the on-site commentary, and those experts in front of the TV who had just complained about Coach D on Twitter and social media for not replacing Wade were all Confused.
Is Coach D superstitious about Wade's performance in the Finals over the past two years?
No, Coach D, this is not superstition!
Coach D really believes that Wade still has gas in his mailbox!
After this year's finals, the whole world felt that Wade was useless.
Even James already felt that Wade was useless, so he abandoned Wade directly.
As for Coach D, he actually truly believes that Wade is okay, and Wade really seems to be okay!
"Is it possible that Wade was always injured in the past because of bad luck, but Coach D's two Chinese knots brought good luck to Wade, and such a breakthrough did not cause him any injuries?!"
"Is this the magic of Coach D? This is the magic of Coach D!"
With Wade's explosive breakthrough, the atmosphere at the scene changed significantly.
But at this time, the score on the court was still 12-29, and the Los Angeles Lakers were 17 points behind with 55 seconds left in the first quarter.
The game continues.
This time the Timberwolves attacked and Sanders signaled Rubio to take control of the ball himself.
Now that the Lakers are gaining momentum, the Timberwolves need to be steady.
But on the other side, Dukang on the sidelines pressed forward with both hands. Almost at the same time, all the Lakers players on the court started to move.
Antetokounmpo, Ebanks, Covington, Wade and McAway.
The five Lakers players on the court quickly followed the Timberwolves players.
"Full-court press, the Lakers started a full-court press in the last minute of the first quarter!!!"
“Coach D’s offensive tactics in this game were unsystematic, but the Lakers’ defensive system was very well coordinated and very aggressive!!!”
Antetokounmpo, Ebanks, Covington and McAway were all teammates of the Lakers last season, and they already have a tacit understanding.
As for Wade, his individual defense ability is absolutely top-notch, especially this kind of aggressive defense. When he was in the Heat, Wade's defensive aggressiveness was one of the best in the league.
After the Lakers' new players such as Jokic and Garnett Pierce came off the court, the Lakers can finally play the full-court pressing defensive tactics system used in last season's playoffs and the Spurs.
The previous Lakers had always used regular offense and regular defense, which seemed to allow the players to get to know each other better.
"Now, the Lakers are finally serious!!!"
On the side of the court, the Lakers' on-site Dj was already shouting excitedly!
On the court, facing the very strong full-court press of McAway and the Lakers, Rubio's ball control can be described as shaky.
However, Rubio still relied on the constant cover and help of his teammates to firmly control the ball in his hands.
However, such constant coverage completely messed up the defensive formation on the court.
At this time, the defensive player in front of Rubio is no longer McAway, but Wade.
Facing Wade, Rubio did not seek cover from his teammates like he did with McAway.
Wade is different from Micah. Micah is fierce, but his defensive skills and awareness are not the same as Wade's.
Facing Wade and asking his teammates to cover him is likely to result in a double-team, and in the end it will be difficult for him to hit the ball.
Thinking of the damage done to Rose by James and Wade in the Heat, Rubio doesn't think his ball-handling ability is better than Rose's.
So Rubio made a very safe choice.
After sticking to Wade one-on-one, Rubio leaned against Wade with his back and planned to pass the ball across to Wiggins on the right.
"I saw it! Wiggins has blocked McAway now!!!"
Rubio's cross looks extremely concealed, and judging from the strength of his wrist, it is extremely fast. In addition, he leaned on Wade beforehand, so Rubio's cross is definitely not dangerous in the ordinary sense. Cross pass.
On the contrary, this is a very good cross ball.
This is a theoretically impossible pass!
So the moment Rubio passed the basketball in his hand, Weber, who had been praising Rubio since the start of the game, was still praising Rubio's golf intelligence.
At the same time, Timberwolves head coach Saunders was also applauding on the sidelines.
He deserves to be Kidd, and he deserves to be the candidate for the top passing master in the future in the league!
At that moment, when Sanders glanced at Du Kang from the corner of his eye, his face was filled with pride.
Coach D, you actually dared to press the Timberwolves full court, now let you see how Wiggins swallowed up McAway!
The moment Rubio leaned against Wade and passed the basketball in his hand, the smile on Sanders' face seemed to have begun to celebrate, almost instantly!
The smile on Sanders' face froze!
Because Wade, who was stuck behind Rubio, suddenly came out from behind, stretched out his hand, and broke the basketball that quickly left Rubio's hand!
Looking at Wade who had already escaped, Rubio was dumbfounded!
And the excitement on the faces of those Timberwolves fans who were ready to cheer on the sidelines also solidified at this time!
Wade seemed to have already judged that Rubio would pass the ball to Wiggins!
And almost a moment later, Staples, who was suddenly silent, once again let out a thundering cheer!
Because Wade was like a swipe of yellow light, rushing towards the Timberwolves' basket!
No Timberwolves player can stop him!
Because just now the Timberwolves players were attacking.
Because the Timberwolves players never expected Rubio to make such a mistake!
In addition, that is, Wade is too fast! ! !
"STEAL!!! Dwyane Wade stole Rubio's pass!!!! OMG!!! Dwyane Wade was like a bolt of lightning, a yellow bolt, piercing Staples The night sky!!!”
"Bang!!! Dwyane!!! Wade!!! Dunk!!!!"
The Lakers DJ, who was already excited, was roaring like crazy.
On the other side, in the commentary box, Teacher Zhang Lili, who had also been suppressed for a long time, was also shouting passionately.
"Wade stole Rubio! Coach Du's full-court press worked! Dwyane Wade's energy on both offense and defense is perfect for the current Lakers! Coach Du replaced Wade, no Yongzhao is a stroke of genius!!!"
"Dunk! Wade dunked!!! 360-degree windmill dunk!!! Oh my god, Wade did it!!!"
"14 to 29! The Los Angeles Lakers are now only 15 points behind!!!"
Staples, who was originally dead, was completely ignited at this time.
In just two rounds, the situation of the game changed so rapidly that even the experts on the sidelines and the Celtics fans on the Internet could not understand it and could not imagine it!
On the court, the young Timberwolves players have obviously experienced some mental changes.
"Steal! The Lakers steal again! It's Wade again!!! Oh my God, Wade knocked Rubio away and snatched the baseline serve from Rubio's hand!!!"
Wade once again stole Rubio, and the Lakers fans at the scene seemed to have fallen into madness!
Wade, who stole Rubio, immediately rushed to the basket. Almost at the same time, all the Timberwolves players subconsciously shrank.
And Wade, who brought the ball to the basket and was surrounded, jumped high!
But Wade didn't attack himself, but chose to pass the ball!
Wade threw the basketball in his hand, and the basketball landed in Ebanks' hand without any rotation.
Ebanks didn't even need to adjust, he threw the basketball in his hand from the top of the arc!
A swipe!
Three point hit!
Ebanks hit the Lakers' first three-pointer of the game!
17 to 29!
There's even 40 seconds left in the game!
In less than 30 seconds, the Lakers magically caught up by 7 points!
The original score difference between the two teams was 19 points, but in an instant, there was only 12 points left!
Almost at the same time that Ebanks hit the three-pointer, the on-site cameras were once again focused on Du Kang.
At this time, the on-site camera very accurately captured the expression on the face of Aunt Jenny next to Du Kang.
At this time, Aunt Jenny looked at Du Kang in shock, while Du Kang applauded calmly, as if everything was as he expected!
On the other side, Timberwolves head coach Saunders is feeling very uncomfortable now.
The official timeout in the first quarter has been used up. Do we need to waste the timeout now to let the players adjust their mentality?
Sanders almost hesitated slightly.
On the court, the Lakers stole the ball again!
This time it wasn't Wade who continued to cut off Rubio.
This time after Rubio caught the ball, as soon as Wade came up, Rubio didn't dare to stick to the ball at all, and immediately passed the basketball in his hand to Wiggins, but Wiggins did not block McAway at all.
Therefore, McAway, who was suppressed by Wiggins for the entire first quarter, finally had the opportunity to use his advantages and specialties!
"I'm a rookie who had a quadruple-double of steals on James in his first game!"
"Don't underestimate me!"
Micah's powerful steal reminded James in front of the TV of many unfriendly scenes.
The expression on James' face at this time was so ugly that it was unbelievable.
Losing the ball here is definitely a nightmare for the Timberwolves.
Fortunately, Wiggins' reaction was quick enough. After being intercepted by McAway, Wiggins quickly returned to defense and followed McAway closely.
Of course, Mcaway can feel that he is still being covered by Wiggins.
However, Wiggins had no intention of attacking on his own!
"Dwayne!"
McAway shouted!
Wade, who was originally parallel to Rubio, broke out instantly!
Looking at Wade who suddenly rushed out, Rubio was very desperate!
His defense has worked very hard!
But the formation is messed up!
His speed just can't keep up with Wade!
In the end, Rubio could only watch helplessly as Wade rushed out, received McAway's pass, and once again completed a powerful one-handed dunk!
Bang!
19 to 29!
All the Timberwolves fans and Lakers fans at the scene were stunned!
The Lakers' oppression of the Timberwolves continues!
And once again the oppression was successful!
"OMG!!!"
"The point difference between the Lakers and Timberwolves is only 10 points!!!"
"The Timberwolves requested a timeout, Sanders requested a timeout!!!"
The game entered a timeout, and the entire Staples has turned into a sea of joy for the Lakers.
And on the Timberwolves' bench.
At this time, Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders didn't say anything about tactics. Now Saunders keeps emphasizing only one thing, and that is!
"Calm down! Boys, calm down! Calm down! Calm down!"
"We are leading the game now. Slow down, it doesn't matter, we can protect ourselves!"
"Children, don't worry, there is no problem with your strength!"
After Timberwolves head coach Flip Saunders gave the Timberwolves players a psychological massage.
The originally panicked young Timberwolves players finally calmed down a little.
They were really almost dispersed by the Lakers just now.
The Lakers' offense this season is temporarily unsystematic.
Offense requires a core. The Lakers do not have an offensive core for the time being, so naturally they will not have an offensive tactical system.
But the Lakers' defensive system has always been there.
The Lakers' G7 game against the Spurs in last season's playoffs was a full-court press game from the beginning to the end, but it is considered the most brutal game in NBA history!
In that game, most of those cruel Lakers players were still with the Lakers and even on the court!
McAway, Ebanks, Antetokounmpo, Covington, they are all part of that cruel Lakers!
How have these young people from the Timberwolves seen this before?
After the game restarted, the Timberwolves slowed down significantly.
but!
Is it okay to go slow?
The Timberwolves finally dribbled the ball through half court.
At this time, it was almost an eight-second violation in the backcourt.
After halftime, the Timberwolves needed to organize their offense.
But the Timberwolves were unable to organize an offense at all.
Rubio, Wiggins and LaVine Harris-Barnes are constantly running, catching and passing the ball.
For these four young players, they can last more than ten seconds without making a mistake. Under the pressure of the whole court, they can finally find an offensive opportunity and get to the basket.
This is actually very good!
But LaVine, who stumbled to the basket, wanted to force a dunk!
But this time, Antetokounmpo nailed the basketball to the backboard!
This is a big pegboard hat!
After Antetokounmpo completed this defense, he hit the basketball in his hand directly into the frontcourt!
And the person running in front is!
"Wade!!!"
"OMG!!! Wade is still running!!!"
Wade plays the game like this and is not injured yet! ! !
Are Coach D's two Chinese knots really so lucky? !
If he were in the Heat or the Knicks, if Wade dared to play like this, he would definitely explode!
And now, Wade is still able to perform fast breaks vigorously!
Bang!
Wade's counterattack dunk turned the point difference between the two teams into 8 points!
21 to 29!
In just one minute, the Lakers went on an 11-0 run!
There were 10 seconds left in the first quarter.
At this time, even a blind person can feel that the mood and momentum of the young Timberwolves players on the court have completely changed!
Panic!
The Timberwolves players on the court were really panicked!
Even more panicked than before the Timberwolves paused just now!
At this time, Bogut, who was serving a baseline kick from the Timberwolves, was roaring, hoping that these young people would cheer up.
Rubio was also applauding, trying to restore the morale of his young teammates.
but!
Useless!
"The Lakers are still pressing the whole court!"
"The defense is changing! The Lakers are changing the defense!"
"Coach D is signaling for the Lakers' full-court press to switch defenses!"
"McCaraway is on Rubio, Ebanks is on Wiggins, Covington is on Harris-Barnes, Wade is on Zach LaVine, Antetokounmpo is interfering!"
"It's too strong. The Lakers' full-court press is just too strong!!!"
"This is Coach D's micromanagement. Will Coach D's micromanagement be successful this time?!"
On the court, facing the Lakers' almost airtight full-court press.
Bogut felt his palms were sweaty.
Almost at the same time, the youngest Zach LaVine couldn't stand the atmosphere and subconsciously pushed Wade to get rid of the defense.
The referee didn't blow!
Seeing this fleeting passing opportunity, Bogut passed the basketball in his hand almost before the baseline serve violation!
Target, Zach LaVine!
And almost at the same time, Wade, who had been pushed away by LaVine just now, rushed forward like a rocket!
Snap!
Almost the moment Zach LaVine caught the ball, Wade was there!
The LaVine man was knocked down, and the ball in his hand had already reached Wade's hand!
Seeing the Timberwolves steal the ball again, the Timberwolves fans on the sidelines went crazy!
Is this still the Laker who was beaten by the Timberwolves?
Even Popovich in front of the TV was equally stupid at this time.
"Are the Lakers really dead this season?"
"Just this defense..."
"Do you know what the strongest defense is?"
"This is!!!"
"This is the strongest defensive system created by Coach D in the playoffs last season!!!"
“The tide is like an endless stream!!!”
No matter how bad the Lakers' offense is, they won't lose 82 games in a row!
"But...this kind of defense cannot last!"
After the tiebreaker last year, the Lakers and Spurs players collapsed.
Whether they are young or old, there are a lot of players whose physical strength has collapsed.
The Lakers can't play like this every game.
but!
Facing Bogut who walked into the court to defend after serving the ball, Wade had no fear at all!
He rode up to meet Bogut!
Bang!
Wade made a one-handed dunk and hung it on the basket!
Wade's feet were also riding on Bogut's neck!
Two-point hit!
There will be additional penalties!
"Oh my God! Dunk on Bogut! The last player to dunk on Bogut was Carter of the Lakers!"
"Correction, Chris, Carter's buckle is not an ordinary riding buckle, Carter's buckle is a death buckle!"
At this time, Bogut's head on the court was already buzzing!
For him, the past minute or so was absolutely like a nightmare!
He was constantly beaten to the basket by the Lakers.
And now, he was actually being dunked by someone like Wade! ! !
He can be sure that the picture of him being buckled will be whipped to death for at least another season!
After he was dunked by Carter last season, the media is still taking stock!
Bogut is broken now.
Wade, on the other hand, jumped off the basket very excitedly.
Jumping up and down and purring his cheeks, after celebrating arrogantly, Wade rushed towards Du Kang on the sidelines.
"Coach D, I feel it! I feel my knee is filled with unprecedented energy!!!"
"They're back, they're really back!!!!"
Wade, who lost the meniscus in his knee in college, was more excited than ever before.
Almost at the same time, the system was beating crazily.
"Ding, your player Dwyane Wade's favorability towards you has been adjusted to 96, please pay attention to check."
"Ding, your player Dwyane Wade's favorability towards you has been adjusted to 97, please check it."
…
Wade adjusted his favorability level to 99 before stopping.
Wade's extra free throw hit.
With 7 seconds left in the game, the Lakers were 24 to 29, only trailing the Timberwolves by 5 points!
This incredible change in the situation is really jaw-dropping!
In the Penguin live broadcast room, netizens went crazy.
Kefan in the live broadcast room was so excited that his voice trembled.
"The fans who went to relieve themselves a minute ago will definitely be blinded when they open the elevator and restart the game again!!!"
"One minute ago, the Lakers were 19 points behind, but now, the Lakers are already behind with only 5 points left!!!"
"Teacher Yang, our coach Xiao Du, is he a human or a god? He led the team to recover 14 points in one minute. Oh my God! This is the most explosive one-minute game I have ever seen!!!"
At this time, Yang Huahua, who was next to Kefan and was being attacked by Kefan, was completely blinded.
He just said that even if Coach Xiao Du encounters such a Laker, there is nothing he can do. After all, Coach Xiao Du is still a human being, not a real god.
Although everyone says that coach Xiao Du is the god of coaching, it is best for everyone to just listen to this kind of praise and never take it seriously.
but!
Damn it!
14 points recovered in 1 minute!
Is this guy really a human?
You know, there is no Kobe, no Tracy McGrady, and no Yao Ming on the Lakers court at this time!
The Lakers have staged more terrifying Lakers moments in the playoffs!
But, what was the lineup of the Lakers at that time, and what is the lineup of the Lakers now?
You know, a minute ago, the Lakers were being beaten by the Timberwolves!
Yang Huahua really felt like she was broken now.
At this time in the Penguin live broadcast room, when netizens saw Yang Huahua looking like this, they all laughed like crazy.
"Hahahaha, Coach Xiao Du's daily slap in the face task is completed!"
"Teacher Yang was slapped in the face by Coach Xiao Du again!!!"
"I fucking love to see Teacher Yang Huahua look so hopeless and suspicious of the rules of basketball, hahahaha!"
On the court, the game continues.
At this time, the Timberwolves players also felt the feeling of collapse.
This time, the Timberwolves didn't pass the baseline ball to LaVine, even though Rubio was stuck by McAwee and wouldn't let him catch the ball.
The Timberwolves finally let other players cover for Rubio and passed the ball to Rubio's hands.
However, after receiving the ball, the Timberwolves didn't even dare to move!
Yes!
The Timberwolves are actually waiting for the end of the first quarter!
“OMG, the Timberwolves gave up their offense!!!”
Seeing the Timberwolves' choice, the Lakers bench players on the sidelines were shocked.
Then, like Aunt Jenny, she looked at Du Kang in stunned silence.
Jokic, Garnett, Pierce, Dinwiddie, Kyle Anderson…
At this time, all the new Lakers players looked at Du Kang in shock.
After they didn't play, the Lakers actually showed such fighting effectiveness!
Garnett and Pierce looked at each other.
The two did not take the initiative to ask for the ball after coming on the court. Although the game was not as passive as Wade, they were not active either.
The reason why they are like this is very simple. The two of them want control of the Lakers.
They have been in the league for so many years, how could they not feel that most of the Lakers players are not so welcoming to them.
It's difficult for them to gain status in the Lakers.
Only the role players like the Lakers who want to be on top are constantly losing and being beaten by society, and they know their own worth.
Only then did I know who the most important player was for this Lakers team.
Therefore, they chose to be inactive on the court and watch McAway and others perform.
Now……
"This Laker is Coach D's team."
"We forgot that Coach D is the real core of this team!"
Obviously, for the Lakers, it is not a good choice to obtain ownership of the team in this way.
Because Coach D might really abandon them completely!
Now, although they feel the changes in themselves, they do not want to leave the Lakers.
Look at this group of Lakers role players!
Under the command of Coach D, they can even defeat such a forest wolf!
If we join, even if Coach D selects three parallel imports in this draft, the Lakers will not be completely uncompetitive!
The first quarter is over.
The score on the court at this time was 24 to 29, and the Lakers were still 5 points behind.
But the Lakers fans at the scene seemed to have won the game, and the atmosphere at the scene was no longer worried or melancholy.
The opposite of Lakers fans are Timberwolves fans.
At this time, the Timberwolves fans holding signs high could feel the constant malice from the surrounding Lakers fans.
However, Timberwolves fans are strong.
Now that they have arrived in Los Angeles, they have prepared for the worst.
The worst he could do was get beaten up by the Lakers fans at the scene.
So the Timberwolves fans at the scene were still shouting crazily in the face of such malice.
"Thank you to the great Coach D for sending Wiggins to us!"
"Thank you to the great Coach D for taking away the deceitful Garnett!"
"Thank you to the great Coach D for finding Zach LaVine for the Timberwolves!"
Fuck! ! !
Listening to the disgusting shouting of the Timberwolves fans at the scene, the Lakers fans at the scene really couldn't stand it!
Yes, even if the Lakers defeat the Timberwolves in this game, it will not be able to erase the retarded operations of the great Coach D this offseason.
Abandoning Wiggins and choosing parallel import Jokic.
They gave up so many outstanding role players and chose deceptive veterans like Garnett who could retire.
Lakers fans find that they really can't refute the slogans that Timberwolves fans are shouting now.
For a moment, the Lakers fans at the scene were gnashing their teeth.
At this time, Du Kang on the sidelines was greeting the Lakers players coming off the court.
"Dwyane, how do you feel?"
"Awesome! Really awesome!!!"
Wade is really excited now.
He felt that his body was really in better shape than ever before!
And right now.
"Ding, your player Kevin Garnett's favorability towards you has been adjusted to 92, please check it."
"Ding, your player Paul Pierce's favorability towards you has been adjusted to 90, please check it."
"Ding, your player Jokic's favorability towards you has been adjusted to 88, please check it."
…
Du Kang was stunned for a moment.
The system refreshes the screen again.
The mentality of these new Lakers players seems to have finally changed.
A smile appeared on Du Kang's face.
It's not just their attitudes toward themselves that have changed.
Likewise, their attitude toward their teammates has changed.
While Du Kang was welcoming these Lakers players, new Lakers players such as Garnett, Pierce, and Barkley were also welcoming the Lakers players.
Seeing this scene, the look on Phil Jackson's face in front of the TV became very ugly.
Kidd, who was next to him, looked extremely shocked at this time.
Because before the game started, Phil Jackson told him about the difficulties the Lakers are facing now.
The biggest difficulty is the unity of the team!
"Even if Kobe, McGrady and Yao Ming are on this Lakers team, they may suffer from dynasty syndrome and collapse if they are not careful.
Now that all three of them are not on the team, there will definitely be conflicts between the young and old players of the Lakers and the new and famous veterans.
Even if they are not overt conflicts, they are all hidden conflicts that will trouble the Lakers for at least half of the season. Even if those veterans are removed by Coach D in the end, the Lakers will return to normal again.
This kind of hidden contradiction is the most dangerous. Coach D should rebuild the team this season, rebuild another season, and welcome back Kobe, McGrady and Yao Ming next season. The Lakers will still be the strongest team in the league.
But Coach D was unwilling to give up this season and signed Wade, Garnett, Pierce, and Barkley. This is hesitation, hesitation, which will bring about the worst choice at any time.
If the Lakers' outstanding role players end up being distracted this season, then even if the Lakers welcome back their three star players next season, it will be of no use. "
"This is unexplainable. Garnett and Pierce are not strong enough. Do you think the young Lakers who want to compete for the team's stars can think highly of them? From what you know about Garnett and Pierce, they are looked down upon. What do you think they will do? Their final performance in the Nets last season will be replicated in the Lakers.
If they still have enough strength now, will they let the young people of the Lakers ride on their heads? The stronger they are, the more hostile the Lakers players will be towards them. Don't forget, these Lakers players have bosses, but those bosses have not come back.
These are two forces that cannot be integrated. Coach D has mixed them all together. Coach D does not have to build an offensive system for the Lakers this season. It is enough for them to reconcile the internal conflicts of the team. "
"Fei'er, do you think Coach D can't handle this matter well?"
"There is no solution, because this balance is too difficult. Garnett and Pierce can't be strong or weak. This reminds me of the Bulls when Michael Jordan retired."
When he played against the Knicks in the playoffs, he asked Kukoc to execute the buzzer-beater, but Pippen simply refused to play.
Even now, the conflict between Kukoc and Pippen has not been resolved.
If Jordan hadn't come back later, the Bulls would have collapsed.
In Pippen's view, he and Klaus liked Kukoc so much. When they wanted to correct Kukoc, they were too focused on young people and did not respect their achievements.
From the perspective of the young players of the Lakers, Coach D loves the veterans so much. What does this mean for young people like them?
Do young people deserve to be green leaves?
The stronger the Lakers' young players show, the greater the opinions of these young people will definitely be.
This is simply a zero-sum game.
The Lakers are now much more dangerous than Kobe Bryant was with the Bulls.
The Bulls at that time were at most a matter of individual players and individual players, unlike the Lakers, who were two completely opposite forces.
"Sometimes I still admire Coach D. He always does stupid things that everyone can see."
In Phil Jackson's view, knowing clearly that these young players of the Lakers have already shown good strength, instead of continuing to focus on training them, they find a bunch of star veterans to come over. This is the way to cause chaos.
"Jason, did you know? In the first quarter, Garnett and Pierce were actually competing for control of the Lakers."
What? !
Kidd was shocked!
He has also been in the NBA for so many years.
He just didn't think about it. After Phil Jackson reminded him, Kidd quickly remembered the performance of Garnett and Pierce in the first quarter.
At that time, he just thought that Garnett and Pierce were too good now. Thinking about it now, it may not be because they are too bad!
In fact, these two people deliberately acted badly to show their importance!
Farke!
Kidd was really shocked.
Originally, he wanted to see what kind of tactical system Coach D would use on the team without Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady.
Will we create a wonderful and crazy tactical system like the five small and heroic tactics last season, or a tactical system like the five defenders last season?
Now it seems that if Coach D cannot straighten out the situation within the Lakers, it will be impossible!
And just like Mayfair said, the internal situation of the Lakers seems to be really unsolvable.
At this time, Kidd and Phil Jackson were already looking at the court.
At this time, the Lakers players on the court had changed five players five up and five down.
Jokic, Garnett, Pierce, Dinwiddie, Kanan.
This is the player in the Lakers rotation.
"It's over!"
Seeing the Lakers' rotation, Kidd sighed in his heart almost instantly.
Yes, finished!
Garnett and Pierce did not work hard and are now competing for positions on the Lakers.
As for Jokic and Dinwiddie, these are two rookies, and they seem to have a high probability of being imported.
In the end, the only real fighting power of the Lakers in this lineup is Kanan!
Kanan's strength is definitely good, but no matter how good he is, he is still a role player!
As for the Timberwolves, the starting lineup at this time is Pekovic, Bennett, Corey Brewer, Zeiss Budinger, and Xiao Mo.
Although Pekovic and Xiao Mo are not All-Star level players, they are both quasi-All-Star level elite players.
And Corey Brewer and Budinger are also famous players in the NBA.
The strength of this lineup is definitely not comparable to the rotation lineups of those super strong teams.
But compared to the Lakers, who are old and young, the lineup is definitely much better.
Therefore, there is no problem at all for Kidd to think so.
Even Kidd was not the only one who thought so at this time.
Even many Celtics fans on the Internet became excited again after being shocked for more than a minute.
"Coach D has done something wrong again. He actually sent all the Lakers players who performed the worst in the first quarter to the court!"
"Coach D is going crazy! Coach D really doesn't want to win this game, right?"
"Hahahaha... I think it's not that Coach D doesn't want to win, but that he has no choice. It's impossible to let that lineup play the entire game in the last two minutes of the first quarter, right? The Lakers only have 11 players available for this game. Players, in fact, this rotation is already the strongest rotation of the Lakers, hahahaha..."
"Coach D didn't do this himself! He had to select Jokic with the No. 1 pick, and he had to sign Garnett and Pierce as free agents. All these difficulties were brought about by Coach D himself!"
Boston Celtics fans online are really excited.
"KG, Paul, kill the Lakers!!!"
Many Celtics fans online have even begun asking Garnett and Pierce to kill the current Lakers.
It can only be said that these people are really enjoying watching the excitement now.
On the court, the Timberwolves players were not so happy.
The Timberwolves attacked first, and Mo Mo took the ball for the first attack, and immediately went for a singles, and specifically used a pick-and-roll to find Garnett for a singles.
This is the established tactic of the Timberwolves.
Right now Garnett and Pierce are the two most annoying players for the Lakers.
If you don't hit them, who will?
However!
Snap!
Garnett, who looked like a dead man in the first quarter, directly blocked Xiao Mo's one-on-one!
Celtics fans online were dumbfounded.
"KG can still have such energy in the game? He can't even take three breaths after jumping like this?!"
However, Garnett even followed the Lakers on the fast break after blocking the shot! !
"OMG!!!!"
After an hour and a half, the game ended.
The score on the court at this time is 105 to 95!
The Lakers defeated the Timberwolves at home and got a good start.
In front of the TV, Mayfair Jackson felt that his face was heating up, as if he had been slapped in the air!
"How can this be?!"
The Lakers actually integrated again? !
And in front of the TV on the other side.
James' face was not shocked but ugly.
The Timberwolves are still so good!
Wiggins blew it to the sky, but he still lost in the end!
"Isn't it just that you beat a Timberwolf?"
