The godfather of basketball started from conquering the NBA

"Michael, I want to tell you that tonight, you are our hero, and I will design tactics for you next."

Xu Xiao's appointment in the face of danger also made Reed a little confused. He thought he was a firefighter, but he didn't expect to take on such an important task. Reed wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Xu Xiao.

"Michael, our situation is not optimistic now. Josh and Bledsoe's physical fitness has bottomed out. You have also seen the scale of whistleblowing this time. It is impossible to play inside, so now you are really important. You Trust me and trust yourself, tonight you're still Milwaukee's Deer King."

Xu Xiao's successful brainwashing made Reed completely confused.

After the timeout, the Lakers saw that the Timberwolves had replaced Reed, and everyone couldn't help but rejoice, their chance had come.

But soon, in the Timberwolves’ offensive round, Reid slid the baseline and shuttled to the 45° three-point line in the crowd. In the process of running back to the baseline, he had a face-to-face with Josh, and Josh passed the ball tacitly. .

Reid didn't hesitate either, his iconic crooked shooting posture is also a must. Although the posture is not good-looking, it is outrageously accurate.

A direct three-point hit helped the Timberwolves narrow the point difference to four points at once.

Then there was another off-the-ball move, and the ball was hit from a mid-range distance. The point difference came to 2 points. This made the Lakers a little panicked.

In the next round, the Lakers really changed their defensive formation. Obviously, they made a targeted defense against the Timberwolves' off-the-ball movement, and used a small-scale zone defense to prevent Reed from getting easy shots.

But maybe the Lakers players forgot that the original Reed was not only good at fixed-point shooting, but his ball-handling shooting was also quite strong.

Facing Calderon's defense with the ball, Reid made a three-pointer without interference and made another hit.

With 5 minutes and 11 seconds left in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves overtook the score for the first time, and this was also the first lead in the game.

"I'll guard him in the next round." At this time, Kobe was the first to realize that something was wrong. There was a problem with their own offense, and they hadn't scored for 2 minutes.

On the defensive end, they never expected that Reed would explode out of nowhere.

"Damn it, why do the Timberwolves always have people like this?" Kupchak's complexion off the field was a little distorted. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this game was an extremely unfair and ugly game. If they can't win, the Lakers' face will be completely discredited.

The Lakers who came back from the timeout switched to Kobe to defend Reid. Oden was about to come up to do the pick-and-roll, and Reid beckoned him directly to get up.

"No need for pick-and-rolls, they'll call fouls." Reed quickly called Oden, who had already fouled five times. If he also made the penalty, the score that the Timberwolves worked so hard to catch up with would be very high. It might come to naught.

"Let me go heads-up. It's not like I haven't fought before." At this moment, Reed seemed to have returned to Milwaukee, and Oden was also shocked by his domineering response, and obediently retreated.

Reed held the ball to face Kobe's defense, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he leaned against Kobe with his left hand holding the ball, and took the initiative to find a confrontation.

"One time, two times..." Reed was feeling the change in the center of gravity brought about by the confrontation, and found his familiar rhythm.

Suddenly turned around and Kobe couldn't keep up. This was exactly Reed's rhythm. He paused and shot immediately.

Maybe Kobe was also tired. Normally, this blow would be able to cover his face, but this time, Kobe's reaction was obviously slower, which gave Reid room to make a move.

Another three-pointer, now the Timberwolves' lead has come to four points, and the initiative has come to the Timberwolves.

With 4 minutes and 34 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers organized an offense again. The Lakers had missed three consecutive offenses before, allowing Reid to hit a 9-0 spurt alone.

Kobe took the ball. According to his personality, he wanted to save face with this ball.

In the mid-range singles, although it missed, it caused Reed's defensive foul. This ball is not controversial, because Reed is not a defensive champion after all. In fact, Reed took the ball for Josh. What a breather.

Josh hardly had such a rest throughout the game, especially in the second half, when the time was all over. Now Xu Xiao needed to protect Josh's stamina until the last 2 minutes of the decisive battle.

Kobe made a free throw, a rare miss on the first ball, and the second ball bumped into the basket.

Xu Xiao off the court immediately understood that Kobe still has the same personality, but he is no longer young.

In the next round, Kobe was still defending Reed. This time Kobe chose to defend closely and did not give him room to shoot, but he seemed to have forgotten that Reed, who is at his peak, is also capable of breakthroughs. It is not Kobe's fault. As you can imagine, standing in front of him is Reid at his peak.

This time Reid took advantage of his abundant physical strength and decisively chose a breakthrough.

Unlike when he was young, Reid at this time has been in the league for many years, and his experience is definitely not comparable to those young people.

It wasn't just Xu Xiao who discovered Kobe's physical problems just now, Reed also discovered it, and Reid is also a famous left-hander, whose starting and breakthrough rhythms are different from the normal right-hander, so Kobe didn't react immediately.

Facing Garnett's supplementary defense, a light breakthrough throw made another hit.

"My God, this is really a magical game. I didn't expect the Timberwolves to replace them with an old "Buck" at the last moment and save them. I don't know how the Arabs sitting on the Lakers bench feel. Will I miss the days when the two fought side by side, now both of them are out of the team's rotation, but Reid seized the opportunity in this game, I don't know when the opportunity of the UAE will come."

The overflow of the other side of the ocean is also commented by the publisher, which makes countless Chinese fans feel sorry for it. They scolded Reed a lot back then, but now they are relieved. Now that Reid and Yao Ming are on the same team, I also hope that Reid can help Yao win a championship. .

But some people are happy and others are sad. The expressions of the Lakers fans are as uncomfortable as eating shit.

They couldn't accept that the referee had blown it like this, the team was still powerless and couldn't hide the decline, let alone the hero in their hearts, Kobe would be blown away by a veteran who was on the verge of retiring.

There was a rare sound of invective in Los Angeles.

Kobe is also obviously getting a bit better. Seeing Reed's brave performance, he must be unconvinced in his heart. He will continue to find Reed to single out in the next round.

Bledsoe shot out suddenly, making Kobe almost make a mistake. Finally, when the offensive clock was about to run out, he barely shot, but the referee gave Gibson a foul for rebounding. Garnett made two free throws, helping the Lakers again. The point difference was reduced to 2 points.

83 to 85, with 2 minutes and 56 seconds left before the end of the game, the Lakers only scored 11 points in the entire fourth quarter, all of which came from free throws. In the entire fourth quarter, the Lakers did not score a single sports game.

On the Timberwolves side, Reid contributed 11 points alone.

But his performance continued. Reid met Calderon with the ball, quickly started, dribbled behind + disguised, and directly split Calderon.

Reed gave Calderon a condescending look, and ruthlessly threw the ball into the basket.

"I am the former deer king, who are you?"

With this three-pointer, the Lakers can almost declare the death penalty, and Reid finally released his inner depression for many years. These years in the Bucks, from a small person, he worked hard and gradually grew into an All-Star. Later, he was injured. Sick, was robbed of his halo by another sharpshooter Curry, and was ruthlessly kicked out of the team.

Reed, who was covered in injuries, should have retired, but fortunately he met Xu Xiao and came to the Timberwolves. He did not give up, and still worked hard, just for this moment, in Los Angeles, in Staples, and instantly felt himself Consummation, if the spring breeze knows what I want, it may have promised me when I was young.

At this moment, Reid even had tears in his roar.

The game is still going on, Reid is not recalling, and immediately puts himself into defense. After all, the Lakers have not given up at this time.

The Timberwolves attacked for several consecutive rounds, and the ball barely passed Josh's hands, which also allowed Josh and Bledsoe to breathe.

The Lakers focused all their defensive resources on Reid, allowing Josh and Bledsoe to gain a lot of space.

After that, Josh hit Dunleavy with a back and made a mid-range hit, and then Bledsoe passed Calderon and made a light pick.

The Lakers have gone completely far, and now all they can do is try to score a goal and break the embarrassing record of 0 goals in sports games.

In the last 2 minutes, the Lakers broke the embarrassing record of 0 goals in sports games by relying on Bynum's tip-up, and then they didn't score any more.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Lakers beat the Timberwolves 85 to 94 at home. In this game, the Lakers got 44 free throw opportunities and hit 30 of them.

The Timberwolves only made 10 free throws in the game. This game is destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history.

If it wasn't for Reid who was ordered in the final quarter and scored 13 points, the Timberwolves would have disappeared.

"I will never forget this day, which changed my perception of competitive sports. I will watch the video of this game carefully, and I will also appeal to the relevant departments. This kind of ugly game should not happen. In the highest hall of basketball, I finally want to say that justice must prevail!"

This is what Xu Xiao said when he was interviewed by the media after the game. Although these words did not directly criticize the referee, they hit the depths of the soul.

After losing this game, the Lakers didn't have any energy to resist.

In the next game in Los Angeles, their home court, the Lakers sent a 39-point disastrous defeat, ending the season, 74 to 113. The Lakers, who lost the protection of the referee, could only score 9 points in the first quarter.

The Timberwolves also successfully entered the Western Conference Finals, and their opponent was the Thunder, the young team in the Western Conference.
