The start of this game.

Lakers: Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Paul Gasol, Steve Nash, Ci Shiping

Timberwolves: Wanlong, Kevin Love, Nikola Pekovic, Derek Williams, Kyrie Irving

Jumping the ball by Pekovic and Howard.

The referee came to the center circle.

As the ball was thrown into the air, the game officially began!

Jumped up almost the same time.

Howard suddenly exerted his force and flew into the air first.

The Lakers get the opportunity to attack first.

Perhaps because after having experience, Howard took a serious attitude from the beginning.

After all, Howard is still more capable in terms of bounce.

But the Timberwolves' defense was quickly dispelled, and the pace was not disrupted by such a situation.

At this time, the Lakers began to scatter, constantly finding points, trying to lead the way with points and use efficient pass cooperation to disrupt the rhythm of defense.

But after a stalemate for a while, the Timberwolves' defense was still unscathing.

The ball was passed to the inside line all at once. Howard received the ball and beat Pekovic with his back.

It is obvious that the intensity is directly increased from the beginning.

"Bang! Bang!"

The continuous violent impact was like an armored vehicle stomping on the accelerator, pushing away Pekovic's wall.

Turning around means a heavy buckle of both hands!

The basket was so strong that it was almost breathless that it was suppressed by this force.

"roar!!!"

Howard tightened the muscles on his arms and showed a fierce expression.

The Lakers got off to a good start.

Immediately afterwards, the Timberwolves began their first attack, with the ball in Irving's hands.

Wan Long walked around from behind, and Kobe followed closely behind.

Now they are very physically active, but Wan Long still doesn't plan to waste too much time. He drifts three points after pick-and-roll to test the feel.

"Swish!"

Sweep by like the wind.

The moment the ball landed, Wan Long had retreated to defense and had an extremely positive attitude.

Both sides showed their best condition tonight and even showed their best momentum.

In the first quarter, the Lakers obviously looked quite hard.

However, in the end, the Timberwolves took the lead under the leadership of Wan Long and gained a 5-point lead.

This is also due to the firepower sharing of Irving and Love on the offensive end.

The Lakers' defense was not dared to relax and could not distribute more energy.

This leads to the fact that when defending, the Lakers' attention will always be distracted and difficult to balance.

In the first quarter, Wan Long was not greedy for me. He made 2 of 3 shots, Xiaoxiao scored 6 points and had another assist.

Irving interspersed with the basket continuously, and the Lakers were caught off guard by a small game, scoring 10 points and 2 assists.

Love easily ate cakes and competed for rebounds at the basket, scoring 6 points and 3 rebounds.

The efficient performance of the three made the game much easier.

The pressure on Pekovic and Williams has also been reduced a lot.

The two of them basically only need to be responsible for catching the ball, passing the ball, and providing cover is the greatest help.

Although the Lakers played very well, Kobe made a move, scored 10 points, 1 assist and 1 steal.

Howard was also focused, crazily stirring up the inside scene, winning 8 points and 4 rebounds.

However, in addition, Gasol had two hand slips, and Nash's shooting percentage was not high, resulting in a behind in the score.

When the second quarter came back, both sides were not only making efforts, but it was obvious that the Timberwolves had an advantage in line depth.

I had a small orgasm (11:5).

Expand the fork to more than double digits.

Now, the Lakers have to apply for a suspension again and bring all the main players up in advance.

The Timberwolves also performed the same operation.

In the first half, the battle between the main players was still quite fierce.

But with its stable output firepower, the Timberwolves maintain a double-digit lead.

Moreover, this advantage is brought directly to the second half of the third quarter.

Only then did the Lakers finally have a little momentum to chase points.

Kobe got a good opportunity outside the three-point line on the left and used two consecutive pick-and-split balls to try to shoot.

Hollow into the net!

The feel began to heat up, and Kobe's offense also came to an unsolvable mode.

A small drawstring layup was made at a close distance, and a double-team forced a backward jump shot from the middle distance.

Move side stops and jumps, turn around and shoots back.

All kinds of actions, all kinds of them.

The score was chased at once and only 9 points away.

At this time, the Timberwolves suspended the game, interrupting Kobe's hot touch.

Back on the court, Baria replaced Irving and took the mid-range shot on the court, but unfortunately she failed to hit.

Howard grabbed the rebound and handed it to Kobe directly.

Kobe transferred to Nash, then gave it to Gasol, and handed it back to Nash.

Ci Shiping responded from the back and quickly passed the ball to Kobe.

Forty-five degrees on the right.

Kobe made three threatening gestures, with a murderous intent like a poisonous snake in his eyes.

Suddenly, a ball exploded and turned around and shot in the back half.

Or hit it!

Seeing this touch, everyone knows that Kobe has entered his own mode.

Wan Long immediately pressed his body against the defense and adopted such a pressing method.

Faced with the entanglement of death, Kobe also wanted to use his own method to crack it.

But Wanlong's defense is not an ordinary death entanglement, and it is even more terrifying than Leonard.

Kobe couldn't find any space to play, and the Lakers' rhythm fell again.

The score difference between the two sides remained within double digits and was above 5 points.

Kobe has always wanted to create opportunities and play a rhythm.

But Wanlong's existence completely killed all these ideas.

The Timberwolves' cooperation was almost invisible. Even after Kobe was interrupted many times, he could not get up again.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Lakers were in a dire state, Wanlong directly turned on the violent mode.

When you catch the ball, you rush to the inside line, and take off is a one-handed dunk.

No matter who is ahead, no matter what distance it is, you can deduct it if you can.

Even if you can't deduct it, you will have to smash the ball into it.

Howard couldn't stand his fierce fighting style.

After being shaken back several times in a row, he became timid because he was anxious to take five fouls.

In the last minute, Wanlong gave an assist, and Love flew over and dunked with both hands after receiving the ball.

"pretty!"

At present, the Timberwolves' lead has finally opened to double digits again.

【91:102】.

In the end, the Lakers used their foul tactics to find out the opportunity, but they still lost the first game helplessly.

The Timberwolves had their first victory in the playoffs.

In this game, all players performed well, and seven players scored in double digits.

Wan Long became the MVP of the game, scoring 30 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block.

The whole team cheered, and this will be an important step for the championship!
