Chapter 426 Another Wiggins Appears
Timeout, Lakers bench.

Walton looked relaxed, with his left hand on his hips, his right hand pointing to Kuzma and Tatum, and said:
"The two of you play, McGee and Rondo are off the court to rest. Randall switches to center and pays attention to guarding Towns from receiving the ball; Tianyang switches to point guard, organizes the offense, and strives to expand the point difference to double digits, so we can play in the second half. In order to do more rotations, we can control everyone's playing time within a reasonable range."

In ten seconds, Walton arranged all the tactics, and the rest of the time was left to the players themselves.

...

In a blink of an eye, the timeout ended and the game between the two teams continued.

Tianyang dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, used Randall's left pick-and-roll to enter the inside line, faced the Timberwolves' collective contraction, and chose to go around the free throw line and return to 45 degrees, and Towns, who played singles and switched defenses.

The dislocation is small and big, and it is said that it should take full advantage of speed, but after Tianyang changed hands continuously, he made a dry shot.

Bang bang bang, the basketball hit the frame and bounced back and forth and fell into the net, making a three-pointer.

Gibson retreated to the bottom line to serve, Teague rushed to the front court with the ball, waited for Towns to arrive, stepped forward to make a pick-and-roll and handed over the ball.However, Randall and Tianyang cooperated very tacitly and completed the defense change easily. Towns did not get an open shot.

But even though he had participated in the All-Star Skills Competition and had good grades, as a center forward, he still didn't dare to dribble directly in front of Tianyang. He still honestly set up a three-threat stance and tried to step up frequently.

I once thought that Tianyang's knees were slightly bent, his left hand was spread flat, his right hand was raised high, and his whole body was still leaning to the right. Not his forte.

After about five seconds, the other players on the field were getting impatient, and he finally moved.

He passes the ball back to Teague and then cuts to the hoop.

In his opinion, this is a perfect idea. He can use his height to attack Tianyang at the basket, but Randall quickly backed up and stopped him at the free throw line, and Tianyang quickly rushed to the top of the arc to defend Teague.

After coming and going, the Timberwolves still failed to get a shot, and the Lakers were really strong in rotation.

Teague began to dribble the ball under his crotch to look for opportunities, but it was in slow motion in front of Tianyang, and there was not much attack time left, so he could only do a pick-and-roll with Towns again, and then rush to shoot before Randall changed defense again.

Dang, the shot hit the iron, Kuzma and Gibson grabbed together, the basketball was dialed to the free throw line and fell into Randall's hands by coincidence, Tianyang, Ingram, and Tatum saw this and ran straight away.

The three "middle, left, and right" three routes advanced at the same time. Randall first passed to Tianyang, and Tianyang passed to the right. Tatum received the ball and passed it to Ingram who rushed to the basket, and finally scored a dunk.

As a result, the point difference widened to 8 points, and Thibodeau paced back and forth a little impatiently.

O'Neal curled his lips: "I think the Timberwolves should switch Gibson and Towns. Randall can switch and retreat faster than McGee, and he doesn't suffer too much in terms of strength. Towns' advantages have been completely unable to play. "

As soon as the words fell, Teague had already brought the ball to the frontcourt, and Butler took the initiative to ask for the ball.

Tatum imitated Tianyang, with his knees slightly bent, his left hand spread flat, and his right hand raised high, posing a standard single-defense posture. Butler failed to shake him up with a fake move, so he could only pass the ball back.

Teague received the ball, seeing that Wiggins was still squatting in the bottom corner, he had no choice but to surrender his eyes to the basket again.Towns understood and stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll, but SkyOcean was well prepared and quickly bypassed the wall, blocking the way with Randall on the left and right.

Seeing this, Towns wittily passed between Tianyang and Randall, but Kuzma quickly defended, Randall ran to Gibson, Tianyang delayed Teague's pass, and the Timberwolves' offense stalled again.

Thibodeau waved and shouted from the sidelines, "Give it to the inside, give it to the inside!"

Teague heard the words, like throwing a hot potato, he lobbed the ball to the inside.

Towns received the ball in the three-second zone, with only 4 seconds left in the attack time, he made a back-to-back push, and then turned forward.

The idea is good, and I plan to use my height to make a hook shot, but the reality is cruel. Kuzma is relatively weak, but he can stand up to a lightweight center with small arms and thin legs like Towns.

As a result, Towns' movements were deformed, the hook went far away, the basketball didn't even touch the frame, and it went out of bounds.

There was a burst of laughter at the Staples Center.

Kuzma retreated to the bottom line to serve, Tianyang took the ball to the right wing, used Randall's pick-and-roll to enter the inside line, faced Downs to change defense, suddenly made an emergency stop, retreated to take off, and shot back in the air.

I don't know if Downs didn't react, or if he didn't want to defend, he just watched the basketball fly to the hoop.

Swish, two points hit, the Lakers led by 10 points.

Thibodeau looked anxious, and when Teague dribbled the ball across the center line, he hurriedly called a timeout.

O'Neill shrugged and spread his hands: "See? I said Wharton has a way!"

Kenny shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say, I only defended Downs twice."

Barkley stared directly at the big screen, seemingly thinking about something, but did not answer.

In a blink of an eye, the timeout ends and the game continues.

Towns took the ball from the right sideline, Butler and Wiggins separated the left and right elbows, Gibson squatted under the left basket, and Teague stood far below the right sideline.

The referee blew the whistle, Gibson raised it up as a cover, Butler rushed to the left suddenly, but only rushed two steps and suddenly stopped, then set up a human wall, and together with Gibson, provided a cover for Wiggins.

Wiggins received the ball smoothly, strode towards the top of the arc, and Towns also slipped into the court.

At this time, the entire left elbow area was crowded and chaotic, and the defensive attention of several Lakers players was all on Wiggins. Only Tianyang, who was standing far on the right, noticed that Towns had rushed to the basket. Down.

It was obviously too late to notify Randall Kuzma to pursue the defense, Tianyang made a sudden move and shouted: "Teaming!"

Tatum and Kuzma heard the words, without any hesitation, the two instantly gave up their respective defenders, turned around and joined Ingram, encircling Wiggins on three sides.

Wiggins was dumbfounded for a moment, and his hand movements were a little slower. Although he finally gave the ball to the basket, Randall had already caught up with Towns and defended.

Towns held the ball with both hands, backed up, and failed to get room for the shot twice in a row. After the third time, he finally pushed Randall about a step away, but at this time he lost his patience and chose to pass the ball out.

The motive was too obvious, and Ingram flew to steal and rushed to the frontcourt.

Wiggins followed, and the two rushed to the basket almost parallel.

Ingram made an emergency stop and took off to make a shot, and Wiggins also took off to block the shot at the same time.

Snapped!Nail the big hat, and there was a sigh at the Staples Center.

Butler was in a better position, caught the basketball before Tianyang, turned around and ran wildly.Tianyang rushed to catch up, and within a few seconds, the two teams sprinted back and forth across the field. Somehow, they might think they were doing a back and forth training.

The two also rushed to the three-point line almost in parallel. Butler stopped to hold the ball and waited. A second later, he passed the ball to Wiggins who followed up.

Ingram picked up the basketball and retreated to the bottom line, and directly swung his arms for a long pass, but the strength was a bit strong, and Randall was not easy to catch. When he got the ball, Towns and Gibson had already formed a circle.

Randall passed the ball in a hurry, and the Lakers player who wanted Wiggins to make a steal halfway and was about to rush to the frontcourt turned back to defend, but Wiggins stopped suddenly outside the three-pointer and pulled out his shot!
Swish, the basketball went into the net, and the Timberwolves narrowed the point difference to 1 points in 5 minute!
O'Neal said with some concern: "The Timberwolves are still talented. The Lakers just pushed down a Downs, and then a Wiggins came out. Walton didn't call a timeout. How should we deal with it?"

　Another month, thank you all for your support.
