Although the Lakers tried their best to adjust, Curry went crazy today. He had to attack and attack, and had to be the main attack, and teammates were there to help him. Wang Kai, Jefferson, and Pekovic could help Curry share the pressure.

Curry disrupted the whole situation. Although Kobe stood up for consecutive points after the Lakers, he could not stop the Timberwolves from getting points, and the Lakers' score difference still couldn't catch up.

Moreover, today the Timberwolves' strategy is to allow Kobe to score to a certain extent. The Timberwolves' strategy is not to allow Kobe to score at will, but to allow Kobe to score under the defense of a bunch of Timberwolves, and to allow Kobe to score after multiple hand-to-hand combat.

The Timberwolves' strategy is the same as last season when the Lakers dealt with the Timberwolves. It is aimed at consuming the opponent's goal. If Kobe's physical strength is exhausted, once Kobe loses his physical strength in the second half, the Timberwolves' chances of winning at critical moments will greatly increase.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves beat the Lakers 12 points with 29 and 17, and the Lakers trailed 12 points in the first quarter of the Western Conference Finals, which is a huge disadvantage.

So the Lakers took advantage of the five minutes of rest to quickly adjust their mentality. The Zen master was very good at adjusting the players' mental state.

At this time, the Zen master also put in a lot of effort to motivate his team: "We were the champions of last year. But now we are actually scared by a rookie. This is incredible. I can't think of why you are afraid of him."

"If I were you, I would use all means to tell the opponent what the playoffs is. He is just a rookie, a rookie."

Phil Jackson repeatedly emphasized the word rookie, as if he was stimulating his players, and as if he was telling his players something.

The Timberwolves made a dream start. At this time, the Timberwolves' head coach did not want to stabilize the team as most people imagined. At this time, McHale was instead encouraging the team.

"The Lakers are very tired now. We can't give up now. We can continue to work hard. We must not be discouraged and fuck them in one breath. We don't give them any chance to stabilize, and if we want to win, we won't wait, and defeat them in one bag."

McHale knew that the Timberwolves was a young team, and young teams should have the style of playing young people. It is definitely not the Timberwolves' style. The Timberwolves' style should be to strike while the iron is hot.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams played a substitute when they came back, but the substitutes of both teams were very luxurious.

The Timberwolves are point guard Teague, shooting guard Foye, small forward Gomez, power forward Love, and center McGee. This lineup can be played in the playoffs even if it starts!

The Lakers are not bad either, point guard Xiangnong Brown, shooting guard Vujasic, small forward Luke Walton, power forward Odom, center Bynum.

The benches of both teams are also very thick, and the gap between the two teams is not big in terms of strength, but now the Timberwolves are in momentum and at home, they are condescending when playing. The Lakers are at a disadvantage and Kobe is not on the court, so the Lakers feel a little aggrieved when playing.

The second quarter was the Lakers' ball. The Lakers played and covered the high post first. Shannon Brown wanted to rush to the Timberwolves' penalty area.

But the Timberwolves are collectively defending, and it is impossible for Brown to solve the problem alone, and he does not have this ability either.

So he could only pass the basketball to Walton, who was on the wing. Walton was smart and took the ball and passed it directly to Bynum near the penalty area.

It was too difficult for Bynum to play Pekovic, who was well-behaved, but now it is much more comfortable to play inside like McGee. He sat down hard, turned around and shot a shot at the basket and scored two points.

When it was time for substitutes, the Lakers finally found a little cheaper in the inside, but this cheaper was not very big and was not enough to make the game change essentially.

The Lakers have played tightly since the beginning, but the Timberwolves are different. The Timberwolves play very easily and passionately, and they are all very suitable for young people.

The Timberwolves ran over and immediately started running without the ball from both sides, pulling them apart, and running a symmetrical and beautiful pattern. In this way, the middle lane was completely pulled open.

At this time, Teague made another breakthrough, and Odom came back a little slower and was fouled.

Although Teague only made two free throws, he also caused strong damage to the Lakers.

The Lakers still wanted to use this substitute period to pull back the gap. They played over and passed the basketball to Bynum to play low.

But once Bynum got the ball in this round, the Timberwolves decisively double-teamed three people, tightly double-teamed Bynum under the basket.

Bynum passed the basketball to Walton, who shot in an open position on the bottom, but missed. Walton did this, except for defense and passing, and there was not much on the offensive end, and the shooting was particularly unstable.

The Timberwolves caught the basketball at this time and turned around toward the Lakers' half. Teague's advance was also very fast.

His style is completely different from Curry. Curry plays lightly, but Teague plays more quickly. Teague hits the Lakers' basket after a quick attack. When he contracts inward, Teague turns back and passes the ball to Gomez. Gomez quickly transfers Love behind him. Love is still half a step away from the three-point line, so he gets up and throws a three-pointer.

"Brush!"

Love came up and scored three points, giving the Lakers another pleasant blow.

Phil Jackson immediately roared at Odom, letting him watch Love.

The Lakers were given another three-pointer by the Timberwolves. At this time, they also played Vujasic's three-pointer tactic.

Vujasic ran around the court for a while, and finally got the ball and saw that the defense had arrived, he still forced his shot, but naturally missed the shot.

Vujasic's open shooting percentage is not bad, but the most important thing is that this guy likes to shoot against others very much. A shooter who is not tall likes to shoot against others' defensive shooting, so the effect is naturally not good.

Vujasic missed a three-pointer revenge. At this moment, the Timberwolves took the ball and turned toward the Lakers' half.

The Lakers quickly strengthened their defense at this time, but finally did not let the Timberwolves strike out the fast attack.

But they just retreated and Tiger and Love immediately had another high pick-and-roll on the Timberwolves. Teager turned around and passed the ball to Love. Love picked it up and Odom quickly saved it.

Facing Odom who was snatching out, Love's hand attracted attention and calmly dribbled the ball step by step and wanted to step across the side. With this step space, Love's starts with another three-pointer.

"Brush!"

The Timberwolves made another three-pointer. The Timberwolves led the Lakers by 17 points 36:19, and the gap was widened.

The Lakers really have no choice but to replace Kobe with another move and fight to the defensive end.

The Lakers were forced to do this by the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves were still relentless. At this time, Barkley couldn't stand it anymore on the side of the court and said in surprise: "The Lakers' performance today is not like the defending champions. They are now driven and beaten by the one in the forest. The Lakers feel that they are completely powerless to resist and are running around. This feels very strange! It seems that the Timberwolves are the defending champions today."

"The Timberwolves are really surprisingly fierce now. The Timberwolves are in a very fierce state, as if they are going to bite the Lakers to death at once."

Kenny Smith naturally saw the situation on the court.

The Lakers replaced Kobe. Kobe immediately started taking over the game on the court. Now that the Lakers are in trouble internally and externally, they really need a superstar to use their personal abilities to change the rhythm of the game. And this method must be effective, so Kobe used breakthroughs to show his existence as soon as he came back.

At this time, the one in the forest was team defense, with Love and McGee inside, and it would be not easy to break through, but Kobe still resolutely broke through from the right and killed the basket. When the Timberwolves team's defense echoed, Kobe also made a high throw shot. Kobe's high throw was quite elegant, and he immediately scored 2 points through the heads of several people.

Kobe finally scored points for the team when he came out, and then the Timberwolves immediately changed into the team and asked Curry and Wang Kai to warm up together to prepare to enter the stadium.

The Timberwolves really don't want to give the Lakers any chance now. The Lakers also started to fight desperately when Kobe made a throw shot.

At this time, the Lakers fully utilized their advantages in their experience. All the methods of defense have come up with them. Various edge balls and small moves were completely fired by the Timberwolves. As a defending champion, they looked a little bad in appearance, and a little angry and embarrassed, the defense movements were a bit big.

The Timberwolves' group of young people were indeed a little uncomfortable with these small moves. The Timberwolves did not get any points in this round.

Kobe took advantage of the Timberwolves' failure to score points in another round, and turned around and played the Timberwolves' offensive and defensive transition. He took the ball and shook continuously in front of Fier, and suddenly came a small American European step, drifted past Fier, and made a layup in the air, hit Maike with a 2+1.

Kobe went to the free throw line and scored one point. As a result, Kobe chased 5 points in a row, and the Lakers finally had some chances, but at this time the Timberwolves replaced Wang Kai and Curry.

When Wang Kai arrived on the court, he immediately felt that the Lakers were about to fall. Curry was uncomfortable with getting the ball in this game, and Teague didn't have much experience, but Wang Kai liked it very much. Wang Kai came over to get the ball directly, and then directed Curry to run the offense without the ball.

Wang Kai's pressure resistance when he gets the ball is the top in the league. At this time, Wang Kai is defending Wang Kai. Walton is very diligent in defense, but he is just diligent in defense, so he lets him defend a killer-level player who is a meat bun to fight dogs.

Wang Kai came up and pressed him down two steps, then passed the ball easily to Curry. Curry was in great shape today. He faced super pressure with the ball. He was extremely elegant and street ball-like movement. He dribbled behind the ball and took a step back. He easily dodged Kobe who was entangled with him. He dodged Kobe, and Curry took a mid-range move.

"Brush"

After scoring two points, Curry dodged the ball behind Kobe's back and took a step back, which was a shocking skill. The target center was completely conquered by Curry, and all the fans watching today's game were also conquered by Curry. This offensive skill is simply unpredictable.

Curry scored a wonderful goal at the beginning, and the target center began to rush, and the Timberwolves' morale rose again.

The Lakers carefully planned counterattack and Kobe worked hard to attack, but it could not withstand Curry's super coquettishness. When Curry injected the super coquettish style into the team and boosted morale again, the Lakers' counterattack was lost again.
