140. Clever Trap
"Hi man, how am I doing, isn't it great? Hahaha."
In the locker room, Fenson couldn't stop smiling. He was very excited today. The Timberwolves were one of the seven teams he had wandered around.
After Finson was cut by the Pelicans in November 2016, he signed two ten-day contracts with the Timberwolves in February.
At that time, Towns, Butler, Teague and others were all in the team. Finson had been a short-term teammate with them, but Finson was just a short-term contract mercenary. Today's game was wearing a purple gold robe. Finson wanted to prove himself.
Lin Feng understood this, so he passed the ball to him one after another in the second quarter.
At this time, Stephenson was extremely excited and played the pipa in the locker room, singing incomprehensible lyrics, and was very happy.
"Of course, you've made that guy Towns defeated. We'll find a solution to that big guy in the second half and wait and see."
Lin Feng responded while drinking water.
James, wearing big headphones, trotted in the locker room. He slapped everyone with high fives. It seemed that everyone was very happy today, which was impossible to see in the Lakers locker room in the previous few games.
After a while, Walton, wearing a blue shirt, walked in, and he was still giving everyone a tactic. As a coach, Walton was indeed very responsible.
But one player was not very happy. He was Lonzo Ball who was fighting and stopping due to injury. Compared to the carefree Hart and Kuzma, Ball seemed to be worried about his position in the team.
Lin Feng's rise threatened his playing time, perhaps because of the second place pick, Ball has always been very enthusiastic and doesn't like to express his emotions.
When Lam Feng clashed with Paul, Hart Kuzma and others seemed very tough, but Brother Ball looked calm.
As early as last year, in a bottom-small battle between the Lakers and the Suns, Uris and Pope of the Suns had friction. Although the Suns played averagely, the team was very united. Rookie Josh Jackson rushed up to 100 meters to help Uris vent his anger, and the players on both sides surrounded him.
When Lonzo Ball saw his teammate being bullied, he calmly walked back to the bench and looked back a few times. The other four players on the Lakers were all gathered with Pope. Ball's move to leave was incompatible with the other four players.
In fact, the relationship between the Lakers has always been very subtle, and Lin Feng can feel it from his first training camp in the offseason.
Perhaps winning the game will make the team more overall and no longer be disturbed by some off-court factors.
When Walton returned in the first half, the rotation lineup was still sent. The Timberwolves' Towns came off the court and mercenary Toliver made a debut. It is hard to imagine that No. 43 was actually the i shu chang of the Players' Union.
In the locker room, Walton once again strengthened Lin Feng’s core position in the rotation. The team would not place hope on Fenson, who was unstable, and the guy started improvising when he was in a hot mind.
Rondo often plays the commander of the arc and handes the ball to Lin Feng to complete the attack at the right time.
Living up to expectations, his first offense after the opening game was scored by his mid-range jump shot, widening the gap to 12 points.
Okoji was a little helpless when defending. The Lakers No. 11 completed the shooting completely against his defense. Because of his height and wingspan, Okoji could not cause any interference.
In Lin Feng's opinion, when he jumped to the highest point, he only reached his hands under his nose. The wide basket in front of him was like a vast ocean, and he had no choice but to send the ball into the basket.
"Gary, pay attention to Ross' personal breakthrough! I predict they will strengthen the backline's impact."
Rondo assigned tasks to everyone, and he was at the forefront of the league in his ability to read the game. It is said that coach Long had a set of tactical illustrations in his mind, which could be called out and applied at any time.
Lin Feng and Ross have not had many matches, and Thibodeau chose to use the younger Okogie to face him. Although the jump is not as explosive as Lin Feng, the speed can at least catch up.
You scored consecutively, and the gap was always above ten. The Timberwolves were known as the "three-collapse of wolfs". They often suddenly became panic in the third quarter when they performed well in the first two quarters, and eventually turned the fourth quarter into garbage time.
Towns, who was sitting off the court, could only do the rush, he had done everything he could do. Thibodeau's good deeds replaced Butler again and strengthened his defensive strength.
Butler is a famous Iron Man in the league. He once played for 48 minutes in three consecutive games without a minute of rest. In the 14th season, he played for 48 minutes in the playoffs five times, and it may cry as his substitute.
Butler completed the steal as soon as he came up, and Rondo's pass to Lin Feng was caught by this guy. At that time, Lin Feng had predicted that Butler would have to steal, but Rondo's ball had already been passed, and it was difficult to make remedial measures in a few seconds.
Butler, who grabbed the basketball, drove straight in, swung his right arm under the basket and dunked the ball into the basket.
This goal led home fans, and they called V! Just like the situation at Staples Center before, Butler is indeed very charming.
Lam Feng, with a embarrassed expression, ran to the venue to pick up the ball. The problem with his position just now gave Butler a chance. When the two passed by, Lam Feng could feel the boiling blood in his body.
To talk about the wolf king inheritance after Garnett, Butler seems to be better than Towns, and he is more like a lone wolf with a dark jungle showing his dark eyes.
Butler's single-core Timberwolves are better than when they dance together, and at least the distribution of the ball is smoother.
Butler didn't care who he was facing. After big center Toliver completed the cover for him, Lin Feng stood in front of Butler.
It was very close to the paint area, which was Butler's attack range. Lin Feng's body could not withstand this strong guy at all, and was pushed to the basket a little by little.
Lin Feng felt that he was being dragged into the basket by a jeep, which felt different from being singled by James.
The feeling that James brought to the defenders was more like a tank, but Butler, who was as strong as a jeep, also gave him a great sense of oppression.
Lin Feng had never had such an experience. Just after he stepped into the paint area with one foot, he began to choose to steal it around, which was a very dangerous move.
It means giving away one side of the basket to Butler completely, allowing him to easily complete the turn of the layup.
As an All-Star, Butler certainly would not miss this opportunity. As soon as Lin Feng walked around, he immediately turned around and entered the basket. He could easily put the ball into the basket as long as he took off.
Just when the commentators thought that Lin Feng had made a fatal mistake, they saw a pair of hands covering the top of Butler's head in a flash and covering the ball he threw out the bottom line!
"!What happened? Was the way I just walked around was just a bait? Jimmy fell into a clever trap!"
It turned out that Lin Feng knew that he could not face Butler head-on, so he chose to deliberately give up at the basket and let him relax his guard. Unexpectedly, such a simple flaw succeeded.
After succeeding, Lin Feng smiled wickedly, and he was chewing his braces and humming.
Butler, who had eaten his hat, looked very generous, patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Damn bastard, you have some trouble."
"If this is not the case, I will be taken by you.
The Timberwolves' sideline ball is still Lin Feng defending Butler. He wants to use his unique defense to limit the All-Star player, which is also a kind of experience for himself.
"Come on Jimmy, I won't let you go."
Lin Feng pressed against Butler's body and stared at Okogie who was serving.
Chapter completed!
