Garnett's nickname is "bigticket". In terms of popularity at this stage, he is even stronger than Kobe. In Los Angeles, he also has his fans.Compared with Duncan, who plays sternly and monotonously, and Nowitzki, who has a foreign registered permanent residence, Garnett has more fans.An even more exaggerated fact is that Garnett is the best-selling sneaker among big men, whether it is Yao Ming, who is backed by the Chinese market and can win the All-Star ticket every year, or O'Neal, who has dominated the league for several years and loves to play tricks , None of Garnett's commercial value, this is still the case of him in the small ball market of Minnesota.

"Doo!" The referee threw the ball straight into the air!

Anderson and Garnett took off at the same time, and Garnett, who had an overall advantage in height and wingspan, jumped up and touched the ball first!

"Beep!" The referee immediately blew the whistle, reached out to signal Garnett's jump ball violation, and awarded the ball to the Lakers.

The replay shows that Garnett stepped on the Lakers' side when he jumped the ball just now. This scene is very rare in the NBA. TNT's guest commentator Tiantuan was very happy to see this scene.

Garnett himself smiled and shook his head, and retreated to his half-court penalty area.

The Lakers served the ball at halftime and passed it to Atkins. Cassell immediately defended, and the defense was very urgent.

This is the unique defensive rhythm of the Timberwolves. The outside players are very aggressive. If the opponent cracks and the frontcourt forms more and less, Garnett can provide timely replacements behind them to delay the opponent's advancement.

Atkins bent his body, protected the ball and took it diagonally across the half court to the right, and handed it to Odom. Garnett leaned over immediately and waved his hand in front of his eyes. The pressure on his body became more and more close.

Anderson stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll for Odom. Garnett nimbly bypassed Anderson. Odom forced himself in. Out of the corner of his eye, he searched for Kobe's position and passed the ball. Kobe received the ball very calmly. Stopped, took a step inside the three-point line, stopped suddenly and shot from mid-range.

The ball hit the basket and bounced up. Anderson, who was standing under the basket, got rid of the block behind him, jumped up and grabbed the rebound abruptly. Once he fell, he didn't stop at all, and directly distributed the ball. Kobe Received the ball and rushed to the inside, forced a shot, causing Sprewell to foul.

Cassell resisted Atkins with his left hand and protected the basketball. After half court, Garnett ran to the corner to meet the ball, caught the ball, and faced Odom's defense, he made a sudden left Feint, get up and hit a jumper, 2 to 2.

The Lakers attacked, Yan Yufeng received the ball, stepped forward, suddenly left and right shoulders shook, and Sprewell couldn't help taking a step back.

He got up and jumped up, and shot a three-pointer in a cool and unrestrained way.

"Swipe!" The ball crashed into the net. (5:2)

Perhaps stimulated by the confrontation with Iverson in the last game, Kobe has a strong desire to make shots today, and he has arranged the first three shots of the Lakers.

With the cooperation of Garnett, Sprewell went inside, simplified the three-step layup into two steps, and threw the ball to the basket with a time difference.

A figure flashed by, and the ball disappeared. Sprewell turned his head and saw the birdman who was "flapping his wings".

The Timberwolves serve from the bottom line, and there is not much time to attack. Garnett catches the ball at 70 degrees, pushes forward, and misses a mid-range pull-up.Advance to the frontcourt, attract the Timberwolves' defensive attention, then assist Butler, make a three-step layup, and send the ball into the basket. (7:2)

After the opening, the Lakers grasped the situation of the game. In the next round of defense, Kobe directly intercepted the ball from Garnett, played a fast break, and directly completed a one-handed dunk. The score of 9:2 forced Sanders to call paused.

Returning from the timeout, the Timberwolves adjusted their offensive arrangements, and the others pulled away. Garnett received the ball with his back in the low position, turned around, and forced Odom from the left.On the side of Odom's footsteps, he stepped with his left foot and abruptly blocked Garnett's charge. Garnett turned around immediately, then jumped up, raised his hand and shot, and made an accurate hit.

Historically speaking, Garnett is the leader in the middle distance, except for Nowitzki's bug, he is not weaker than others!

The Lakers attacked, and Kobe and Odom played a pick-and-roll and dived low.

Garnett and Olowokandi blocked Kobe's breakthrough line. Kobe suddenly jumped up, turned around and jumped up. Garnett jumped up and blocked the shot.

Kobe's raised hand shrank, and the low hand passed between Garnett and Olowokandi.Odom miraculously appeared under the basket on the right, firmly caught the ball from Kobe, and easily jumped up to hit the ball into the basket. (11:4)

"Strike!" Ke Yan on the sidelines waved his hand vigorously. He felt that Kobe was a bit lonely at the beginning, but he sent 2 assists in a blink of an eye!And has scored 7 points, Kobe is in very good condition!

The Lakers, who have been fully rested for the past two days, started very well. Kobe scored and assisted in the first quarter, scored 13 points and 4 assists in a single quarter, and helped the Lakers directly establish a 14-point lead in the first quarter. Advantage.

For the Timberwolves with a somewhat poor lineup, it is uncomfortable to fall behind by a big score at the beginning.Although the team has Garnett, Cassel and Sprewell are also good offensive players, but the Timberwolves are essentially a defense-driven offensive team. As a superstar, Garnett's versatility on the defensive end And the adaptability to different teammates is very good. Different lineups can build a very strong defensive system around him, but at the same time, his scoring ability is weak, especially at critical moments. He can be called a superstar The least lethal one on this level.

The Timberwolves tried to limit the Lakers' offense through high-quality defense, and chased points through counterattacks. Garnett's four-up cover also suppressed the Lakers' offense in the second quarter, which gave the Timberwolves some hope.

However, the terrible thing is that the Timberwolves' own offensive touch is not good.Except for Garnett who scored 12 points on 5 of 14 shots and barely maintained the output, only Szczerbiak scored 7 points on 3 of 8 shots to ensure the firepower. Under the defense of Adams and Kobe, the team felt cold when they caught up with the players. It is no wonder that the Timberwolves only scored 37 points in the half game.

In the second half, the Lakers players were younger, and the advantages of players' physical strength began to emerge.

Cassell is 35 years old and Sprewell is 34 years old. Under high-intensity confrontation, physical strength is a bit unsustainable. On the offensive end, the team relies more on Garnett, who is not good at attacking, which directly leads to the Wolves' attack. The decline in efficiency.

The situation of the game was unfavorable, and Sanders had no other choice but to let Garnett play more.In fact, even if the Timberwolves have such and other problems, the foundation is still there, and Garnett is still of MVP-level value.The key is that the coaching staff can't help the core players to make use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, which is more fatal!

In the last quarter, several core players of the Timberwolves approached 40+ minutes of playing time, and their efficiency decreased. However, the Lakers, who had a 15-point advantage, had a considerable error tolerance rate and did a good job in personnel deployment. Finally, they defeated the team 115:96. Overcoming the Timberwolves, the winning streak was extended to 4 games, and the team also tied the Dallas Mavericks ranked fourth in the West with a record of 8 wins and 4 losses.
