Intermission.

Thibodeau walked into the Timberwolves locker room, and the atmosphere was not as depressing as imagined.

As always, Wiggins picked up the wolfberry water thermos in his hand and took a sip slowly.

Really fragrant.

Wearing a big headset, shaking his head and listening to the music, Wiggins was in a good mood. Most of the team's players are like this. The season is coming to an end, and they are still successful. It doesn't matter whether they win or lose the next game. Besides, in the first half of the game, with a good touch, the Timberwolves only lost to the Lakers by 6 points.

What concept?

The Lakers are currently ranked first in the league, they are second to last in the Western Conference, and fifth to last in the league.

If it weren't for the crazy performance of the Nets and 76ers, their record ranking could be even lower.

Players who can play against the Lakers and lose a little bit, the Timberwolves players don't have much pursuit.

In the locker room, only Karl-Anthony Towns was extremely irritable, with an angry look on his face.

"Damn it, that damned guy, I really want to kill him!"

The locker beside him buzzed with his fist.

Perhaps the Timberwolves have the most desire to win only Towns. Although the record has not improved compared to last season, Towns has been working hard.

He just wants to prove that he is better than Ye Fei.

In the end, he could see weakly that it was Ye Fei who was stronger.

Today, he came to the Staples Center to challenge the Lakers 270 team. Towns suffocated. He wanted to slap the Lakers fans in the face, show off his skills, and prove that he is no worse than Ye Fei

At the end of the halftime game, Towns was extremely depressed, even a little desperate.

After the baptism of last season and crazy training in the offseason, Towns has made great progress. Coupled with the tempering of most of the season, Towns feels that he is currently the best self, but he still fails to gain an advantage in the confrontation with Ye Fei. He will bully the rest of the Lakers at most, depending on Ye Fei's disagreement.

This feeling is fucked up.

The offense couldn't do it, and the defense wanted to find a place. Towns was knocked to the ground twice by Ye Fei.

Downs felt unwilling.

But more desperate.

I trained so hard, but I couldn't narrow the gap between the two, and the gap seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Ye Fei's ball-handling skills have improved a lot compared to when he first met him

On the field, you can knock yourself down by dribbling, but now Towns is dribbling with his back and singles, and he is extremely afraid of being double-teamed.

Ye Fei tricked his opponents by dribbling.

The gap between the two is like an insurmountable chasm.

How can Downs not despair? (cdag)

"Carl."

Thibodeau's shouting disrupted Towns' thoughts: "In the second half of the game, don't come out to defend the opponent's 4th player, stay in the penalty area. You can't keep up with his footsteps. After being passed, there is no last line in the penalty area. Defensive protection, remember, you must defend inside, don’t pay attention to that kid, you can’t defend him outside!”

Tom Thibodeau is one of the best defensive coaches in the league.

If he doesn't believe that Towns can guard Ye Fei.

Then he probably won't be able to prevent it.

To Thibodeau's surprise, Towns stood up from his seat and shouted excitedly, "No, coach, I can do it. Let me guard him in the second half of the game. You can add another height inside."

Thibodeau has a headache.

The tallest of the Timberwolves is Towns. The slightly taller inside players Cole Aldridge and "Big Pyrenees" Nikola Pekovic are all absent due to injuries, and there are few players available.

Thibodeau did not dare to disobey Downs.

With his outstanding performance, Towns, who has completely secured the cornerstone position of the team in the future, has a higher status in the management team than the incoming coach Tom Thibodeau.

"Oh well.

Thibodeau said helplessly: "If you feel that you need to make a substitution, or if you want to help on the defensive end, tell me in time."

Downs sat down expressionlessly.

Thibodeau just wants to sigh: I am so difficult!

He couldn't afford to mess with the team's two team building cores.

One has no desire to survive, and the other works very hard, but always wants to do things that his strength does not allow. The damn management still wants to achieve results by themselves.

Back at halftime.

The two sides did not make adjustments in personnel.

On the offensive end, Towns doesn't have much idea of ​​attacking with the ball, and is more of a role in supporting the offense. After Ricky Rubio arrived in the NBA, he seemed to have lost his offensive skills package, and he also focused on passing.

Andrew Wiggins doesn't care that much.

When the ball is in his hand, he immediately pulls it up and throws it.

strike iron.

you blame me

The probability of entering or not entering is 50%.

You're talking about a low shooting percentage.

cut.

It's funny.

Excluding the inside players in the league, there are several shooting percentages above 50%.

Wiggins made a shot.

Turning around to defend, there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even wanted to laugh.

Downs had no choice but to return to defense.

Ye Fei held the ball outside the three-point line, and Towns stepped inside the three-point line to defend. Thibodeau did not dare to disobey Towns' opinion, but on the defensive end, Thibodeau has changed.

When Ye Fei broke through with the ball, the Timberwolves double-teamed the defense and came over early.

Force Ye Fei to turn the ball back, or force a shot himself.

Ye Fei is not in a hurry.

Divide the ball to find Stephenson who is 30 degrees to the left and open, catch the ball and shoot directly.

"Bang!"

Stephenson hit the iron with a three-pointer.

But seeing a figure whizzing towards him, Ingram leaped high and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

Towns pulled out to defend, Gion's defensive attention was also on Ye Fei.

The interior defense is empty, giving Ingram a chance to show his athleticism.

In the subsequent games, as long as the Timberwolves flanked ahead of time, Ye Fei would definitely pass the ball to his teammates. Although Towns did not get knocked down again, the Lakers' wave after wave of offensives gradually destroyed their confidence.

In the game, Ye Fei showed his extraordinary dribbling talent.

At 6 minutes and 24 seconds into the third quarter, Ye Fei changed directions and dribbled the ball continuously, one-on-five, froze among the Timberwolves defenders, and gave them a clean pass.

Towns, furious, hugged Ye Fei, who couldn't throw the ball into the basket.

"And-one!"

The voice of the MVP of the Lakers fans on the sidelines.

Downs couldn't help feeling sad.

The heart is even more desperate.

Ye Fei has completely become the new king of the Staples Center.

He is still competing with Wiggins for the position of team leader.

I trained so hard, but still couldn't keep up with Ye Fei's footsteps.

Even though he defended so hard, he still couldn't restrain Ye Fei, and his teammates helped him. This was more desperate than Towns defending alone and being knocked to the ground by Ye Fei.

Towns didn't even think that he would encounter even more desperate things during the game. .
