NBA bench saves national team

After Qin Feng made this three-pointer, the score became 10:5.

Timberwolves offense.

After Harden dribbled the ball over half court, he lobbed the basketball to Howard in the penalty area, who singled Gasol under the basket.

Not too superb technique, just relying on his perverted physical talent to overwhelm his opponent.

Gasol couldn't hold back Howard's strength at all. The latter jumped up high and easily hit the basket with a small hook.

Lakers offense.

After Lowry dribbled the ball for halftime, he passed the basketball to Qin Feng again. The latter was not in a hurry. After dribbling the ball to the penalty area, he did not rush to make a shot, but observed the Timberwolves' defense.

Although there are two generals, Howard and Kirilenko, the overall defense of the Timberwolves is not good, and there is little echo between players, just relying solely on personal defensive ability.

In this way, the Timberwolves' defense is very scattered and lacks integrity.

Seeing the opportunity, Qin Feng passed the basketball to Kobe on the outside, and the latter raised his hand to throw a long-range jumper.

The basketball arced high.

Swish.

Hollow into the net.

12: 7.

The point difference remains at 5 points.

There were warm cheers at the scene.

The Lakers are finally back to normal!

Then we will fight back!

Timberwolves offensive round.

After Harden dribbled the ball for halftime, he broke into the penalty area and caused Anderson's foul again, standing on the free throw line again.

Swish!

Two crisp netting sounds.

Harden scored 2 points steadily.

The Big Three all showed an excellent competitive state.

"In the first playoff game of his career, Harden performed well in the opening game. He didn't have stage fright at all. Going to a nightclub didn't affect him. It's amazing!"

Barkley said, with a little shock in his tone.

"This young player is indeed very talented. I believe he will become one of the best shooting guards in the league in the future! After Kobe, the glory of shooting guards in the league depends on him."

O'Neal said seriously that he really sees Harden's future.

Buckley nodded.

Just look at the young players in the past few years. In the position of shooting guard, Harden is the best performer, followed by Klay Thompson of the Warriors. Excellent strength.

Continue to grow, and over time, he will definitely be able to shine in the league.

on the field.

The Lakers offensive round.

After dribbling for halftime, Lowry broke through the penalty area and hit a layup with Gasol's pick-and-roll cover, adding two more points for the team.

With the strong performance of Qin Feng and Kobe, other players of the team gradually recovered.

next time.

The two sides fell into a stalemate, and both played efficient offenses.

However, as the game progressed, the Timberwolves' lack of playoff experience gradually became apparent.

You must know that in the Lakers' starting lineup, except for Anderson who has no playoff experience, the remaining four players have rich playoff experience and even finals experience.

When the Timberwolves' offensive efficiency began to decline, they were a little overwhelmed on the court and didn't know how to adjust.

The Lakers took the opportunity to hit a 9:3 offensive climax at the end of the first quarter, overtaking the score in one fell swoop.

The first quarter is over.

31: 33.

The Lakers only lead by 2 points.

After a short intermission.

The second quarter begins.

Both sides are mixed lineups.

The Timberwolves have Love as the core, coupled with Rubio, Budinger, Pekovic and other backup champions, they have shown impressive strength.

Especially Love, who was overwhelming in the restricted area, unstoppable.

Not only did he perform strongly in the penalty area, he also pulled out to the outside and scored a three-pointer.

At the same time, Budinger, Pekovic and others also fired from the outside, completely suppressing the Lakers.

With everyone's outstanding performance, the Timberwolves also overtook the score again.

"The Lakers are suppressed again! What's the situation? This performance is not like a team competing for a championship! The performance is really too unstable."

Barkley shook his head and said.

"Don't panic! After Qin Feng plays, all problems will be solved!"

O'Neill said in a deep voice, his complexion was not very good-looking.

In his prediction, the Lakers should easily open the score and make the game lose suspense by the end of halftime, but it seems unlikely now.

At least the stalemate will last until the second half.

The key is that the Lakers haven't shown the strength to crush, and they may not be able to win the game.

The fans at the scene agreed with O'Neal, and they all urgently hope that Qin Feng can lead the team to counterattack and suppress the Timberwolves after he plays.

But Lakers coach Steve Kerr currently has no plans to let Qin Feng play.

Just when all the fans thought the Lakers would continue to be overwhelmed by the Timberwolves' bench lineup, the Lakers' backup center Dayao suddenly broke out and scored 6 points in a row with post-up singles in the penalty area.

Love was completely blown away.

The audience was completely overwhelmed.

At the critical moment, you have to rely on the veteran!

"Amazing! Finally a player from the Lakers has stood up! Yao is worthy of being the Great Wall of China. Although he is not at his peak, his strength still exists."

"Injuries took away his movement speed, but his height and skills will not change due to age and injuries!"

Barkley said slightly excitedly.

"Dayao's mid-range jump shots just now reminded me of the scene of confronting him back then."

"You must know that Dayao is the only center forward who has blocked me three times in one game. His strength is really strong."

O'Neill also said, expressing his affirmation of Dayao.

The Lakers bench sidelines.

Kobe, Qin Feng and others also stood up one after another, waving towels, excited.

"Hey, Brother Yao, you're doing well! Your dream is back to its peak!"

Qin Feng shouted happily.

"Haha, I'm not here to compete for the championship! I also want to help the team and make my own contribution."

"I want to be one of the contributors to the team winning the championship."

Dayao responded with a smile, his eyes were also very firm.

If he can't contribute to the team, and he is a spectator all the way to the championship, then this championship ring is meaningless to him.

After hearing this, Qin Feng and others kept applauding Dayao.

The veteran is not dead.

In any case, Dayao is an indispensable part of the Lakers and is the team's inside barrier.

Because of Dayao's outstanding performance, the morale of the Lakers continued to improve, faintly suppressing the Timberwolves. Louis Williams also began to show his super personal offensive strength, making two consecutive long-range shots from the outside, continuing to shrink. score.

After half a quarter of the game, when the coaches of both sides began to change into the starting lineup, the two teams tied and returned to the same starting line! !
