Healthy basketball, starting from eating the old Lakers F4

Chapter 75 Defeat the madman, win both the game and the data!
O'Neal's jump ball was as steady as ever. After the Lakers got the ball, they quickly crossed the half court under the promotion of Payton.

Because they have played against each other before, Payton did not choose to single Kassel, but handed the ball to Dunn.

Now the madman Sprewell is playing small forward in the Timberwolves, and Duane is directly facing the madman.

Taking into account his height advantage, Du En did not call a pick-and-roll and directly faced the madman's defense with a high post shot.

"You still have some ability! But you have to work harder, otherwise I'll kill you!"

Du En sat the madman in the penalty area and started talking trash.

There is one thing to say, the madman's defense is still quite tough.

Madman's rookie sophomore was at the second defense level for a while. Before Jordan came back for the first time, he even visited the Warriors for Madman.

However, the New York Knicks are unstoppable. The madman's mental attributes are not good enough, and his physical fitness has also declined to a certain extent because of New York's luxury and money.

As for defensive strength, it mainly depends on physical talent and willpower.

Look at Wiggins, who usually plays healthy basketball, and the defensive votes are only in single digits.

But in the finals, the willpower was full, and the talent was historical. The Celtics doubled and hit others one by one, but they were blocked one after another when they faced Wiggins.

Now Madman's defensive attitude is not as active as when he was a rookie, and his physical fitness has dropped a bit. How can he defend Duane?
Even after hearing the trash talk, the madman became angry and used all his strength to defend Du En, but he was still pushed away by Du En with an iron rock.

However, just as Du En leaned away from the madman's center of gravity and just turned around and rushed to the basket, Garnett's magical soldiers descended from the sky and suddenly double-teamed him.

"Fuck, it turned out that it was Garnett's help defense!"

Garnett's lateral movement is very fast and his arms are extremely long. It is easy to quickly help defend and interfere with the offense of outside players.

However, after Dunn saw Garnett, instead of being afraid, he was delighted.

"You are allowed to have thighs?"

Dunn made an emergency stop to join the ball, and tried to touch Garnett with a shake first, but Garnett was unmoved.

Immediately afterwards, Dunn pretended to pass the ball to Garnett who let it go. At this time, Stanislav Medvedenko had already run to the bottom corner.

This time, Garnett finally turned sideways, ready to rush to the bottom corner.

At this moment, Dunn's passing hands suddenly paused, then took the ball back a little, and quickly threw the ball above the backboard.

"not good!"

Garnett noticed the passing path and quickly turned back, only to find that O'Neal was already hanging on the basket.

Garnett's help defense was already cost-effective. Seeing that the madman was struggling to defend Duane, he subconsciously assisted in the defense.

The problem is, the Lakers have O'Neal on the inside, and Irving Johnson alone will definitely not be able to defend.

However, if Garnett doesn't wipe the ass of the madman, when Duane rushes to the basket, the two sides will have a 2V2, and O'Neal will also be difficult to deal with.

"Kobe obviously didn't show up tonight, but why does this scene feel a little familiar to me, as if Kobe was playing?"

Garnett knew that Kobe would not come before the game, so he felt that the game tonight was stable. Now that the game has just started, he feels something is wrong...

In fact, Kobe was the only one on the Lakers before who was able to ignore the defense one-on-one, easily break into the basket, and then steadily feed the ball to Olney's mouth, releasing O'Neal's low-post dominance as much as possible.

Passing the ball to O'Neal is an excellent tactic, but it also requires an outside player above the All-Star level to be qualified to execute this tactic!

In other words, it was also because of O'Neal's alley-oop that occupied the space under the basket. In order to avoid injury, Elvin Johnson did not go to the basket to pick up the ball and grabbed the baseline ball.

By the time O'Neal fell from the basket, the Lakers' perimeter players had returned to the backcourt.

In fact, the Timberwolves' ability to switch offense is not bad, but this time there is obviously no chance to play like this.

Playing positional battles, the Timberwolves first singled Payton with the ball.

But Payton also wants to save face, and it is impossible to be bullied by Cassel all the time.

After doing his best, Cassel turned over and raised his head after a back hit, but Payton took the risk.

Although it was a bit of luck, the defense was indeed successful.

Payton rushed to the frontcourt immediately after the ball came down, followed by Dunn and Madman, not Cassell.

The Madman definitely couldn't defend the frontcourt one-on-two. In the end, Pedu connected and completed the alley-oop. Duane dunked with both hands and once again ravaged the visiting team's Timberwolves basket.

"You can run faster!"

Duane didn't hang on the rim for as long as O'Neal did. After dunking, he released his force on the rim and landed immediately.

Then when returning to defense, continue to spout trash talk at the madman, affecting the madman's mentality.

A madman is still easy to get on top. Once a madman gets on top, he will be like Westbrook, not passing the ball to his teammates, and insisting on taking the ball to attack by himself.

Even if Garnett's offense is not as good as defense, it is also an average of 20+ points per game!

Duane hopes that the madman can prevent Garnett and let Duane win the battle for the No. [-] striker in the Western Conference!
Sure enough, the madman was provoked by a rookie again and again, and he was really furious, and immediately reached out to Cassel for the ball.

Duane has studied before the game. In recent seasons, madmen like to shoot three-pointers and long two-pointers, so Duane can only defend from the three-point line.

Facing Duen's close defense, the Madman first acted as a triple threat, pretending to shoot, but in fact threatened Duen with his elbow, creating space for shooting and breakthrough.

Seeing this, Du En immediately changed hands to put on the madman's waist, and did not relax his defensive strength.

With such a move, the madman knew that Du En was not an ordinary rookie, so he immediately turned around with his hips connected, and rushed to the left.

Du En moved laterally to keep up, and continued to put his hands on the madman's waist, slowing down the madman's breakthrough speed, and limiting the waist force of the madman when he took off and shot.

The madman knew that there was a risk of being blocked if he continued to rush to the basket, so he did not hesitate and immediately chose to make an emergency stop.

And at the same time as the emergency stop, the ball protector pushed Du En, and then stepped back and stepped on the three-point line to take a shot.

This ball is a long two-pointer, and the shooting preparation is obviously not sufficient. A little further outside is a three-pointer.

However, Madman did rely on his personal strength to create a shooting opportunity.

Du En flew out and did not interfere with the madman's shooting. He could only turn his head to look at the flight trajectory of the basketball as before, and then consider whether to make a fast break.

Duang——

It can only be said that the madman's shot was quite powerful, and the ball flew very fast.Likewise, the time it takes for the sound of the iron to be heard is shorter than that of other balls.

Du En saw that the ball bounced outside, not far from where he was, so he immediately rushed forward to grab the rebound.

After the madman noticed the iron strike, he rushed forward immediately. When Du En got the ball, he wanted to hug the ball and fight for a chance to scrimmage the ball.

Du En saw the madman open his teeth and claws, and his palm directly slapped his arm, so the ball protector made a big loop to clamp the madman's hand, and immediately threw a three-pointer to the frontcourt with his right hand.

The referee also knew that the madman had fouled, but Duane wanted to use this to make three free throws, which was a bit too much.

There is indeed a home whistle these days, but that's not the way to make fouls, otherwise the game would be impossible to watch.

In a strong dialogue like tonight's, the league advocates letting the stars solve the problem themselves.

Unless the referee has a special task, otherwise it is rare that there will be no face.

Ever since, the madman just committed a common foul, and the Lakers served from the sideline again.

The Madman averages about 2 fouls per game, and it is not realistic to punish the Madman by drawing fouls.

Du En learned about tonight's penalty scale through this, and secretly said in his heart: "It seems that we can only win the game with hard power!"

After serving the ball, the Lakers quickly played a positional battle at halftime.

Du En took the ball again, slapped his back, and continued to push the madman into the penalty area.

However, at this time, Trenton Hassell suddenly double-teamed over and interfered with Duan's dribbling.

Dunn saw the opportunity and immediately passed the ball to Karim Rush, who replaced Kobe in the starting game, and motioned for the opponent to make a hand-off screen for him.

Originally, Du En also wanted to beat the madman directly through singles.Who knows that the madman will either have Garnett to help defend, or Trenton Hassell to help defend.

Then, Dunn can only resort to his true ability to play small guards in pick-and-rolls!
Karim Rush wanted to shoot a three-pointer directly after receiving the ball, but when he saw the movement of Duane's hand when passing the ball, he immediately understood it.

When Duane pushed Trenton Hassell and then came to catch the ball, Karim Rush immediately passed the ball to Duane, and then blocked the pursuers behind Duane.

Seeing this, Cassel immediately switched to Duane, and Garnett under the basket had to approach the free throw line.

After seeing Kassel, Dunn didn't take it seriously, and immediately elbowed away, drove Kassel away, and continued to rush towards the basket.

Immediately after, Garnett stopped in front of Duane, but Duane used the European step, making a fake pass while rushing.

In order to prevent O'Neal from getting the ball, Garnett could only take a step back. However, at this moment, Duan suddenly stopped and took a throw!

Garnett reacted and immediately took off to block the shot, but found that it was too late.

"The ball is in!"

"Dune, Dawn, Dawn!"

After Duane scored this throw, the Staples Center erupted into loud cheers.

Although Du En's goal was not a one-on-five, it still managed to penetrate the Timberwolves' defense on his own!

And facing Garnett's defense directly, scoring the ball in front of Garnett, this ball is too tough!
In fact, Garnett didn't think anything was wrong when Duane made a throw in front of him. Instead, he looked at O'Neal from the corner of his eye on the way to the frontcourt.

In the Timberwolves offensive round, Garnett was not in a hurry to ask for the ball.

Madman has already scored a lot of points because of Du En, who is facing up, and he has not scored a point, and he also looks a little irritable, eager to get the ball and score.

Du En continued to guard against the madman. The madman also combined sudden shots, but did not pass the ball and continued to beat Du En alone.

In fact, Dunn is not very good at defending against the madman. The madman is always able to get a chance to make a shot.

Just like when Kobe faced double teams, he still shot as usual when he got an open shooting opportunity.

Similarly, the madman's mid-range shot also has the flavor of a three-iron shot. He can make a shot, but his hit rate is not high.

During the break between festivals, Du En asked the assistant to look at the data panel.

The Madmen made 8 of 2 shots in the first quarter and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 6 points.Looking at the data, Duane actually defended well enough.

However, the madman that Du En defended himself knew that he hadn't completely defended the madman.

In many cases, it is because the madman himself forced a difficult shot, wasting the ball and reducing the scoring efficiency.

Thanks to the fact that the Madmen continued to fight after failing to score, the score in the first quarter was 19 to 24, and the Lakers temporarily led by 5 points.

"Dune, you have a heavy defensive task today, do you want to take a rest first?"

As soon as Dunn saw his stats, he made 5 of 4 shots in the first quarter and scored 8 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, when he heard Zen master calling him.

"If I could choose, I would choose to rest in the garbage time of the fourth quarter, provided that we beat the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first three quarters!"

Hearing what Du En said, the Zen master was also very pleased: "Very good, very energetic!"

The Zen master liked this kind of young man who was fucked by him and was still full of fighting spirit.

The second quarter resumed, with Duane leading the Lakers side, while only Garnett took the lead for the Timberwolves three-headed monster.

Seeing that the madman was not there, Du En didn't need to expend too much energy on the defensive end, so he kept calling the pick-and-roll and played some simple shots first.

Garnett's assisted defense was indeed terrifying. Duane was blocked as soon as he rushed to the basket.

Later, Du En learned the lesson and directly took the screen and shot a three-pointer.

It took just over three minutes into the second quarter. After Dunn made two three-pointers, the Timberwolves had to send the madman back to the field.

Although the Madmen couldn't withstand Duen's back attack, they also limited Duen's three-pointers in the first quarter.

After the Madman came up, Duan indeed not only stopped shooting three-pointers, but also took the initiative to reduce his shooting rights, and instead rushed to the basket to pass to O'Neal.

Dunn still puts more energy and energy on defending madmen and talking trash.

Sure enough, like a madman with mania, he continued to perform [-] martial arts on Du En, striking the iron again and again, proving that he was really strong.

"Get me a bag of glucose, I need more energy."

Taking advantage of the timeout in the second quarter, Duen spoke to an assistant coach in advance and asked him to help prepare what was needed during the halftime break.

It has to be said that defending madmen is indeed a chore.

Although the madman's hit rate is not high, but the madman's shot frequency is high!Half of the Timberwolves' offensive rounds required Dunn to defend the Madman.

Since the defensive madman can win, Dunn naturally has to redouble his efforts to defend the madman.

However, Du En, who was still somewhat stable in terms of physical fitness, felt that his physical strength was a bit overdrawn before the first half was over, and he couldn't do what he wanted.

It is precisely because of this that if you want to finish the second half of the game in a better state, you must not be able to withstand eating bananas and drinking energy drinks during the intermission.

Originally, the intensity of tonight's game was at the playoff level.

It's not too outrageous for Duane to enter playoff mode early.

Not long after, the second quarter ended and the score was 40 to 47. Although the Lakers continued to widen the point difference, their lead did not expand much.

It can be seen that the second half was definitely a fierce battle.

During the intermission, O'Neill, as usual, set a table of delicious food for everyone.

Seeing Duan using the punching bag, O'Neal also asked for a bottle of glucose.

But it’s not an injection, but the bottle cap is lifted directly, like a drink, a sip of glucose and a sip of vegetables, accompanied by the smell of sweat in the locker room, to enjoy it comfortably...

"Dune, would you like some?"

O'Neill raised his glass to invite Du En. Although Du En was a bit hungry, he still chose to shake his head.

The purpose of choosing to inject glucose was originally to avoid spitting out suddenly.

Besides, just after eating and playing, the brain is prone to lack of oxygen and sleepiness, which affects the concentration of the game.

After hanging the hanging bag, it wasn't long before the intermission ended, and Du En drank half a bottle of Gatorade before returning to the field.

At the beginning of the third quarter, Duane was in a normal state, but in the second half of the quarter, it seemed that the glucose began to take effect, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

Coincidentally, the madman may have eaten something too, and his concentration began to decline.

Duan got rid of the Madman's defense and hit a mid-range and a three-pointer in succession, helping the Lakers open the point difference to 10 points.

However, Garnett, who didn't take many shots in the first half, also stepped up in the third quarter.

Hitting two consecutive mid-range shots made Duan realize why Garnett's mid-range shots are respected as the iron-blooded mid-range shot.

Fortunately, Madman continued to slump in the second half of the third quarter, which also gave the Lakers the opportunity to continue to open the score.

62 to 74, the Lakers entered the fourth quarter with a 12-point lead.

"Shaq, Dunn, are you all right?"

Jackson seemed intent on closing the game in the first half of the fourth quarter, because in the second half of the fourth quarter, O'Neal was easily hacked.

O'Neill shook his head upon hearing this, expressing the need to rest.

Du En felt that he was in good condition, so he continued to lead the team in the starting lineup.

It is worth mentioning that Duan has played 31 minutes tonight and is the player with the most playing time for the Lakers.

After returning to the court, Doon continued to face off against Madman again.

Obviously, the Timberwolves did not give up the game and wanted to bite the score at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

However, the enemy was extremely jealous when they met.

When the madman saw Du En, he lost his mind as if he had acquired the taunting skill.

While strengthening his defense, Duane also began to play smart balls. Taking advantage of Garnett's absence on the court, he used the pick-and-roll to hit the small guard and score under the basket.

Relying on Duan's outstanding performance of 3 of 2 shots and 4 of 2 free throws in the first three minutes of the fourth quarter, scoring 6 points in a row, the Lakers continued to widen the point difference.

When the Timberwolves sent Garnett and Cassell, the Lakers also pressed O'Neal and Payton.

Next, Dunn basically didn't play singles with the ball, but passed the ball to O'Neal with all his heart.

With the help of O'Neal's low-post dominance, the Lakers once widened the point difference to 17 points.

It's just that the Timberwolves resorted to an unavoidable solution, using the shark-slashing tactic to fragment the Lakers' offense.

Fortunately, O'Neal's free throws didn't particularly stretch his hips. Although he only made 8 of 4 shots in the fourth quarter, it was enough to make the Timberwolves return home with hatred.

87 to 95, the Lakers finally led by 8 points and won this strong dialogue game!
It is worth mentioning that the madman made 24 of 9 shots, 5 of 2 three-pointers, 7 of 6 free throws, and scored 26 points.

加内特16投9中，罚球4投3中，打出了21分12篮板4助攻的两双数据。

杜恩却凭借着25投11中，三分9投4中，罚球10投6中，32分6篮板6助攻2抢断1盖帽的全面数据，赢球又赢数据，顺利击败了狂人和加内特。

After the game, Du En was interviewed and continued to talk wildly: "Doubts are meant to be broken.

I really like Michael Jordan's words, if I don't blow up my opponent, others will think I am on the same level as him!
We are No. [-] in the West, and we will also be No. [-] in the league. We are not afraid of any challenge! "
