Chapter 148 You don't know what else he can do

"You don't know what he's going to do the next second. At first I thought he was a super accurate three-point shooter. Then after a while, I realized that he could play like Jordan. Then he made me think he was a 1.9-point shooter. A top perimeter defensive expert, but yesterday I discovered that he is actually a top insider with a height of [-] meters [-]. If one day someone tells me that Liu is an alien, then I will definitely not be surprised.” This is the Los Angeles Times reporter Woodson Starr wrote the report the day after Liu Han finished his game with the Jazz.

Liu Han's amazing inside strength in the game against the Jazz shocked everyone. This young man who has only entered the league for the second year is now the star of the Lakers. When the Lakers were in trouble, it was Liu Han. Standing up again, he not only saved the team, but also proved to the world that height is not an obstacle to playing basketball.

Among the top ten balls selected after the game on November 11, five were related to Liu Han, and the ball he blocked Malone and completed an alley-oop with Nash became the top ten balls, and many The audience believed that this ball would even be selected as one of the top ten goals of the year. In this block and dunk, Liu Han perfectly demonstrated the strength and speed of basketball.

Although Liu Han used his performance to prove that the Lakers' tactics were successful, the bad luck of the Lakers has also become the focus of discussion among the audience and the media. Eldon Campbell found out that his injury was a groin strain after being checked , At least two and a half months of rest, which means that he will miss at least half of the regular season.The audience was discussing whether the Lakers really offended the witch, which is why they encountered so many troubles at the start of the game, and most of these troubles were related to the lower body. Although the Lakers received a lot of attention, but such The attention made them a little embarrassed.Some people in the management of the Lakers thought it was time to find a psychic to see, but Jerry West scolded him severely.

The Lakers are now short of four generals in the team. There are two more games left in O'Neal's suspension, Robert Horry has to rest for three games, and Michael Finley has to rest for about half a month. Alden Campbell, he needs at least three months to recuperate from his injuries and recover.George Krent is also very helpless now. Although Liu Han can play well in the paint, he can't let Liu Han play the whole court in every game. After all, he is not a strong player.

The Lakers had no time to rest. As soon as the game ended on the 18th, they had to return to Los Angeles to prepare for the home game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves have performed well since the beginning of this season. They have won six of their first nine games. This Timberwolves is also a team dominated by young players. The core of the interior is the fifth pick in the first round of the 95 draft. Kevin Garnett, the core of outside ball control is Steve Marbury, who was selected with the fourth overall pick in 96. They also have Tom Gugliotta, who was selected with the sixth overall pick in the first round in 92.

Stephen Marbury was originally very resistant to going to Minnesota. The player who was born in New York wanted to go to a big city. However, after a season of training, Marbury has now become the core of the team's perimeter.

George Krent knew that the Timberwolves were not easy to deal with, because the players in their team were also very fast, and they also had an overwhelming advantage over the Lakers on the inside.

Sure enough, the Lakers fell into a passive position at the beginning of the game. The young guys of the Lakers team were also a little tired after many consecutive games. After all, they need to run non-stop in every game.

Except for center Cherokee Parks, the speed of the Timberwolves is not bad, especially Kevin Garnett, this high school player has really shown his talent after two seasons of training.

Marbury's strong body made it difficult for Nash to guard.With such a lineup, it can be said that the Lakers have completely given up on the inside and can only hope that Liu Han and his teammates can open up the situation on the outside.

The Timberwolves attach great importance to Liu Han's defense. They dare not let Marbury, who is less than 1.9 meters, defend Liu Han, but let Chris Kyle defend Liu Han close to him.

After possession of the ball, Liu Han reappeared and began to show his mature demeanor. He first swayed Chris Kyle in the offense and made a three-pointer, and then Marbury scored two fast breaks in the middle and front of the defense. Liu Han tied the score in less than 1 minute.

In the next game, the Timberwolves have been using the inside advantage to deal with the Lakers, and the Lakers also tightly bite the score under the leadership of Liu Han.

At the end of the first quarter, the two teams tied at 28.

Entering the second quarter, Liu Han took a rest, Nash played again, and the Lakers also carried out a certain rotation, but there are really few players they can play now, so Ray Allen and Eddie Jones have been on the court.

Liu Han only rested for less than 8 minutes before playing again. After he came on the field, he replaced Ray Allen, who had never rested. Liu Han, who returned to the shooting guard position, made the Timberwolves a little bit overwhelmed, because he had already changed in this game. Lost three positions, which made the Timberwolves' defense a little confusing.

At the shooting guard position, Liu Han succeeded in beating Chris Kyle consecutively. He didn't use any other tricks, just a fadeaway jumper, which made Chris Kyle almost desperate.

Entering the second half, Liu Han switched positions again, he returned to the point guard, and Nash took a rest.

With the ball in hand, Liu Han began to show his strong three-point ability on the outside. Facing Chris Kell, who had lost his confidence, Liu Han hit more three-pointers.

At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers extended their lead to 15 points.

Entering the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves began to counterattack. Garnett and Gugliotta took turns attacking the inside of the Lakers. At this time, Liu Han stepped forward again. He once again turned into a super center and blocked Gugliotta's shots. attack.Although Garnett's straight-arm shooting defense made it difficult for Liu Han to block shots, he still made Garnett's shooting percentage drop a lot.

The Lakers, who withstood the pressure of the Timberwolves counterattack, led their opponents by 4 points in the last 17 minutes of the fourth quarter. In the end, the Timberwolves, who had no hope of coming back, voluntarily gave up the game.
