Intermission.

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

Wiggins, as always, picked up the goji water thermos cup in his hand and took a sip.

What a fragrance.

With a large headset, shaking his head and listening to music, Wiggins was in a good mood. Most of the players on the team are like this, the season is coming to an end, they are still successful, it doesn’t matter if they win or lose the rest of the game, and in the first half, with good hands, the Timberwolves currently only lost to the Lakers by 6 points.

What concept?

The Lakers are currently first in the league, second from bottom in the West and fifth from bottom in the league.

If it weren’t for the Nets and 76ers being crazy, they could have been lower.

To be able to play with the Lakers a little behind, the Timberwolves player, there is not much to pursue.

In the dressing room, only Carl Anthony Downs was extremely irritable, with an angry look on his face.

“Damn, that nasty fellow, I really want to kill him!”

The locker on the side buzzed with a fist.

Perhaps the only one with the Timberwolves’ greatest desire to win is Towns, who has been working hard despite not improving his record compared to last season.

He just wanted to prove that he was better than Ye Fei.

In the end, he weakly saw that it was Ye Fei who was strong.

Coming to the Staples Center today to challenge the Lakers, Downs was full of energy, he wanted to hit the Lakers fans madly, show his skills well, and prove that he was no worse than Ye Fei.

At half-time, Downs was extremely depressed, even desperate.

After last season’s baptism and offseason training frenzy, Towns has come a long way. Coupled with the tempering of most of the season, Downs feels that he is currently the best himself, but he still failed to have an advantage in the confrontation with Ye Fei, and at most bullied the rest of the Lakers, depending on whether Ye Fei agrees or not.

It’s a fucking feeling.

The attack couldn’t do it, the defense wanted to find a field, and Downs was actually shaken to the ground twice in a row by Ye Fei.

Downs was unwilling.

But more desperate.

I trained so hard that I couldn’t narrow the gap between the two, and the gap seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. Ye Fei’s ball control skills are much better than when he first met him. On the playing field, you can shake yourself by dribbling, and now Downs, dribbling with his back single, is extremely afraid of encountering a pocket.

Ye Fei relied on dribbling to play the opponent.

The gap between the two is like an insurmountable gap.

How could Downs not despair?

“Carl.”

Thibodeau’s shouts disturbed Downs’ thoughts: “In the second half, you don’t come out to defend the opposing number four, stay in the box. You can’t keep up with his footsteps, after being passed, there is no last line of defense in the restricted area, remember, you must defend inside, don’t pay attention to that kid, you can’t prevent him outside! ”

Tom Thibodeau is one of the league’s premier defensive coaches.

If he didn’t believe that Tangs could prevent Ye Fei.

Then he will most likely not be able to prevent it.

But what Thibodeau didn’t expect was that Downs got up from his seat and roared excitedly: “No, coach, I can.” The second half let me defend him, you can be inside, add another height. ”

Thibodeau’s brain hurts.

The tallest Timberwolves are Downs, and slightly taller interior players Cole Aldridge and “White Bear” Nikola Pekovich are all out due to injury, and there are fewer players available.

Thibodeau, however, did not dare to rebel against Downs.

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

“Okay then.”

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 wanted to sigh: I’m so hard!

The two core of the team, he can’t afford to mess with.

One has no desire to survive, the other is very hard, but always wants to do something, and strength does not allow. Damn management, they still have to play their own results.

Coming back at halftime.

There were no personnel adjustments on both sides.

Towns didn’t have much idea of attacking with the ball on the offensive end, and more of a role in responding to the attack. After Ricky Rubio arrived in the NBA, he seemed to have lost his offensive skill set, and he was also based on passing.

Andrew Wiggins doesn’t care so much.

The ball is in his hand, immediately pulls it up and throws it.

Strike iron.

Do you blame me?

The probability of entering or not advancing is 50%.

You’re talking about a low shooting percentage.

Cut.

Funny.

Excluding interior players, there are several players in the league who shoot above 50 percent.

Wiggins shot the iron.

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

Downs had no choice but to defend.

Ye Fei held the ball outside the three-point line, and Downs defended one step inside the three-point line. Downs’ opinion, Thibodeau did not dare to disobey, but on the defensive end, Thibodeau changed.

When Ye Fei broke through with the ball, the Timberwolves came in advance.

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

Ye Fei was not in a hurry.

The ball finds Stephenson, who is 30 degrees on the left and has an empty position, and catches the ball and shoots directly.

“Bang!”

Stephenson hit a three-point shot.

But I saw a figure roaring towards him, and Ingram jumped high and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

Tangs pulled out to defend, and Ji Ang defended attention, also on Ye Fei.

The interior defense was empty, giving Ingram the opportunity to show off his athletic talent.

In the subsequent game, as long as the Timberwolves hit in advance, Ye Fei would definitely divide the ball to his teammates. Although Towns was not shaken again, the Lakers’ wave after wave of offense gradually destroyed their confidence.

In the game, Ye Fei showed extraordinary dribbling talent.

At 6 minutes and 24 seconds in the third quarter, Ye Fei continuously changed to dribbling, picking five, and was stunned to shuttle through the Timberwolves defensive players and clean them up.

Tangs, who was embarrassed, hugged Ye Fei, and he could still throw the ball into the basket.

“And-one!”

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

Downs couldn’t help but feel sad.

My heart is even more desperate.

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

He is still battling Wiggins for the position of team leader.

He trained so hard, but he still couldn’t catch up with Ye Fei’s footsteps.

The defense so hard still can’t limit Ye Fei, and he is still a teammate to help together, which is more desperate than Downs defending alone and being shaken to the ground by Ye Fei.

Downs didn’t even think that during the game, he would encounter even more desperate things.
