February 27, 1998.
The Lakers traveled to Minnesota again to meet the Timberwolves for the fourth time this season.
In the first three games, the Lakers were 2 wins and 1 loss, but that loss made many experts believe that the Timberwolves are a team capable of defeating the Lakers.
Advocated by experts, Garnett is an omnipotent existence. He can easily break the Lakers' power forward position, dominate the game in both offense and defense, and finally end the Lakers' winning streak.
After Garnett was selected for the All-Star starter, he teamed up with Kobe to defeat the Eastern All-Star team. In that game, Garnett was the third person on the team. The performance of offensive and defensive ends slumped a lot of superstars. Without Garnett, there would be no victory in that game.
People finally realized how powerful this No. 5 pick in 1995 in faraway Minnesota really is!
As a power forward, Garnett's defense runs through the entire three-point line. He can even pull beyond the three-point line to chase defenders.
On the offensive end, Garnett's iron-blooded jumper also makes many blue-collars have no good way to defend.
Too high!
Kevin Garnett, who is actually 2.16 meters tall, looks like a tower! Make it extremely difficult to defend his shooting.
That is, Garnett is not attacking! If he devotes all his energy and training to the offensive end, he might be an offensive killer as unsolvable as KD!
Wolf King Garnett! Known by experts as the only man who can end the Lakers' winning streak!
Flatter!
For the first time, Garnett felt the praise of the media!
How many people support the Lakers, so many people stand on the opposite side of the Lakers!
And the praise of these people instantly made Garnett's reputation in the public opinion section reach a peak!
"Double-teaming Kobe! Stanley and I got Shaq!"
Before the game, Garnett patted his chest confidently!
Recently, he has listened to the comments of many experts. In the eyes of these experts, the Lakers team has only two enemies. One Kobe, one O'Neal.
Other players are not good at all!
As long as you kill Kobe and O'Neal, the Lakers will collapse!
Garnett agrees!
So and coach Philip Sanders repeatedly requested that this game must be arranged like this defense.
Old coach Sanders smiled bitterly.
He didn't know the theories advocated by many experts recently, and these grandstanding theories can make Garnett who was advocated by the media feel fooled for the first time, and the old coach Sanders knows this is all fart!
The Lakers have so many shooters! You double double-wrap OK, isn't that a gift?
But he couldn't bear Garnett's request. The example of the madman Sprewell is right in front of him. Now the league coach is a moment of danger for everyone.
Coach Sanders knows that Garnett is still very good, knows a player who respects the coach. But he was unwilling to force Garnett and make him dissatisfied.
"Fine, nothing. Just let you feel it yourself, so that you can understand how outrageous the analysis of those experts is."
So a crazy game was staged!
Kobe felt wrong when he made the first goal inside. Horry and Bowen were directly emptied, and all defense was concentrated on himself and O'Neal.
interesting!
Kobe didn't even think about it, his long eyes generally throw the ball back.
Horry raised his hand and shot!
in!
Kobe attracted a double team, Eddie Jones made a three-pointer!
in!
Bowen's bottom three points!
Again! ~
The Timberwolves clenched their teeth and insisted. Under the indiscriminate bombardment of the Lakers' three-pointers, with Garnett's crazy crush against Horry, he bit the difference!
The Lakers made 8 three-pointers in a single quarter!
Even so, the Lakers lead by 3 points at 31:28!
The second quarter! The OK combination, who didn't exert much effort at all, took turns leading the bench.
Old Curry and Mullin were still emptied!
They seem to be doing three-point practice, making crazy hits!
Can't stop the blood!
When Garnett realized such a game, he was giving away food.
But the feel of the Lakers' shooters can no longer stop!
"23 three-pointers!"
"The Lakers made 23 of 47 three-pointers!"
"Historical single team three-pointer record!"
"The Lakers once again created a legend! A miracle!"
"This is the strongest three-point team in history! The Lakers have used this game to tell the league that they are more than OK!"
"The strongest shooting team! Listen to the league! Never double-team OK!"
Garnett's face is green as if it can make juice!
Careless!
He really didn't expect the Lakers' shooters to be so accurate.
"Kevin, what's the matter with your coach? What's the tactics laid out." O'Neal clapped his hands. He played a little bit unhappily in this game, ‘only’ scored 26 points and 13 rebounds under Garnett’s double team.
Garnett hit a haha, in the puzzled eyes of Kobe and O'Neal, he retreated and ran back to the locker room.
...
"This month's Player of the Month is out."
"who is it?"
"It's the Lakers players who have no suspense, so is it Kobe or Shaq?"
"Kobe played 29.7 minutes per game in February, hitting 34.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 8.5 assists, 3.4 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.7 turnovers with 52.1% shooting and 43.2% three-point shooting."
"Shaq averaged 31.5 minutes per game, 35.6 points, 16.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.5 blocks, 0.4 steals and 3.1 turnovers with a shooting percentage of 65.3%."
"Too strong! In this era when other teams average only 90 points per game, Kobe and Shaq can score 70 points together!"
"The Lakers' scoring average is equally terrifying, averaging 127.5 points per game in a single month! 29.2 assists! Their assists per game are almost catching up with the Lakers in the SHOWTIME era, and SHOWTIME only has about 30 assists!"
"A month of data explosion, not only Kobe and O'Neal, but other Lakers players also performed magnificently this month! Eddie Jones has 20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.8 assists in a single month. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com lives up to the All-Star glory!"
"Horry averaged 13.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. As the Lakers' jackpot player, without Horry, I believe this Lakers would be one level weaker!"
"Bowen can make 1.2 three-pointers with 38.2% of his three-pointers, Mullin can make 1.8 three-pointers with 43.5% of his three-pointers, and the fisher can make 1.1 three-pointers with 37.2%. Lao Ku It’s even more terrifying! He shot 50.1% of three-pointers in a single month and averaged 2.3 three-pointers per game! Their presence made opponents completely afraid of double-teaming! This is why the Lakers’ average score per game exploded! "
"Three-point frenzy! With OK's offensive control, the Lakers' shooters have found their best form. This Lakers has become the league's best three-pointer team, and perhaps the strongest three-pointer in history. team."
"During the game against the Timberwolves, 23 three-pointers in a single game broke the team's single-game three-pointer record!"
"There is nothing more pleasing to the eye than seeing a basketball falling smoothly into the basket from beyond the three-point line!"
