The Lakers led the Timberwolves 30-25 in the first quarter, and Szebiak made a three-pointer in the last attack.

In the next quarter, Sanders arranged for Trier to come back and lead the substitute with Szebiak. The other three were Pierre, Lafonso Alice, and Nestrovic.

The Lakers sent Guo Xu, Mike Panpessi, Ledel, Horry, and O'Neal.

Brian Shaw rested because his shooting was unreliable. Pan Persie was 191cm tall and played No. 2 without the ball. Jackson asked him to play without George in order to add a stable three-point shooting point on the court.

Panpessi, Madson and Medvedko have always been the three musketeers guarding the water dispenser. He has never complained and worked very hard during training, and finally impressed the coaching staff. He can shoot at every position to ensure the shooting rate, and he belongs to the kind of people with specialties.

Kobe's break with Guo Xu during the second quarter was staggered, and this was a fixed rotation for the Lakers.

The Timberwolves attacked first, Trier and Nestrovic played pick-and-roll, got rid of Guo Xu and were stuck in the position and could not speed up. Guo Xu chased and formed a front and back attack, and Trier rushed to the middle.

Nestrovic took the ball and took a step forward. Horry moved horizontally and stuck his breakthrough route. It was a tragedy for a slow player to play empty cut. He had the chance to take action directly in the middle, but he no longer had the confidence to shoot.

No matter where players dare not take off, it is a very harmful thing to be morale. The Timberwolves have no better center than Nestrovic, which is a fatal weakness.

What's worse is that Garnett's salary accounts for too much of a salary cap, so it is impossible to attract outstanding players with high salaries. The new labor-cap agreement in 1999 stipulated the maximum salary and luxury tax for players. Garnett's previous long contract was over the maximum salary, and luxury tax became a key factor restricting team recruitment. You should know that the league's salary cap will hover around 40 million for a long time, and Garnett's salary alone accounts for most of the salary cap.

O'Neal grabbed a defensive rebound, the Lakers' position attacked, Guo Xu and O'Neal played pick-and-roll in the middle and got out of Trier, and took a step to the left to jump and jumped to the jump three-pointer.

He usually goes to the right and suddenly changes direction to the left to create a good shooting opportunity, but unfortunately the ball goes off.

Nestrovic grabbed the defensive rebound and made a quick counterattack. Trier passed it to La Fangsuo, who was following up quickly in the middle. The latter made a mistake when cutting in the empty space. The butterman failed to catch the basketball. Horry picked up the ball and easily added a steal and passed it to Guo Xu to launch a counterattack.

The offense and defense conversion speed is very fast. At this time, many Lakers home fans couldn't help but want to shout "I love Lafang".

Guo Xu advanced to the frontcourt, ignoring the ball, Ledel faced Trier's 70-degree emergency stop on the left and took a step and shot three-pointer.

Trier returned to defend and retreated a little further back, and flew to the basket before he could jump. Guo Xu's hand was so hot in this game that he scored again! 33 to 25, with the 15th point in his own goal.

The Timberwolves attacked, Szebiak took the ball in the middle as the organization forward, and Trier first went to the right bottom corner, then went to the upper line to run and Nestrovic without the ball to cover. Guo Xu was blocked, and O'Neal did not defend.

As a heavy center, O'Neal is often lazy on the defensive end. The thing he doesn't like to do the most is to save and defend the defender's three-pointer, which is a weakness. Many people think that O'Neal's dominance is invincible. In fact, if he encounters the offensive routines of the strong NBA team in the future, O'Neal will definitely be uncomfortable, and basketball tactics are constantly developing.

Trier caught the ball and returned a three-pointer, and Guo Xu was slowing down by one step. 33 to 28.

The Lakers attacked, Guo Xu and O'Neal played pick-and-roll in the middle and broke the right side. Nestrovic was not active in switching defenses. He was all focused on O'Neal. The power forward was La Fangso, who was only 203cm tall. If O'Neal cuts the ball, it would be impossible to solve it.

Guo Xu made three-pointers in a row, and Trier dared not to bypass the screen from the inside to break through. This time he went around from the outside. Guo Xu changed direction with the ball, passed Nestrovic by speed, and easily scored a layup.

35 to 28, the 17th point in the individual.

Woodson said: "It's amazing. I think Jason will definitely set a new personal score today. How he plays, he can do whatever he wants."

Hovas smiled and said, "The news says that O'Neal and Jason have a very good relationship and often go out together during holidays. They have posted photos of them with the Olsen sisters online. It is not easy to get O'Neal's approval. When have you seen him and Fisher playing pick-and-roll?"

In front of the TV, Fisher was so angry that he wanted to throw the plaster! Put away your damn pick-and-roll, I want to fight the commentator alone!

The Timberwolves attacked, and Pierre, who ran without the ball on the side, received the ball and shot and shot. The ball was flat and bounced relatively well. Guo Xu picked up a defensive rebound.

The Lakers continued to play pick-and-roll in the position, and Guo Xu broke through on the right to attract Nestrovic to replace the defense and then split the ball into the middle.

O'Neal received the ball with an empty cut, took a step and jumped up, dunked the ball with both hands, and the basket was almost broken by him.

37 to 28, Guo Xu had the second assist.

The Timberwolves attacked, Szebiak beat Ledel one-on-one, and then stepped on the right and scored a jump shot and made two points. 37 to 30.

Guo Xu and O'Neal played pick-and-roll, broke through with the ball and walked to the right and brought it to the bottom line, attracting Nestrovic to assist in defense. If he didn't care, he would just layup.

Guo Xu stopped in a hurry and turned around and passed the ball to the middle. O'Neal received the ball from close range and jumped up with another one-handed dunk through Nestrovic.

39 to 30, Guo Xu had the third assist.

The Timberwolves attacked, "dunk king" Nestrovic made a jump shot from the middle, and Horry grabbed a defensive rebound.

Guo Xu dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and suddenly divided the ball to the left. Horry gave Pan Persi no cover, and the latter caught the ball 70 degrees from the left and made a three-pointer.

42 to 30, Guo Xu had the fourth assist.

Panpesy can also play a role, and Pierre's defense is not enough to be slightly relaxed at all.

There were 9 minutes and 6 seconds left in the second quarter, and Sanders was forced to request a timeout. This wave of Lakers' offensive efficiency was very high, and the Timberwolves had to strengthen their defense.

After the suspension, both sides slowed down their pace and attacked the position.

Szebiak made a three-pointer, and Lafonso scored two points in a single-shot single with Horry; the Lakers O'Neal received Horry's pass and scored two points at the basket, Guo Xu attracted the defense after pick-and-roll, and passed the ball to the empty-cut Ledel to make a layup, giving his fifth assist.

Six minutes later, both sides started to substitution. The Timberwolves were on the side of Garnett and Billups, and the Lakers were on the side of Kobe and Fox appeared, replacing Ledel and Pan Persie.

The Lakers' tactics have been changed to triangular offense, and Guo Xu is not so easy to swipe data.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the player with the most assists has been point guards who played pick-and-roll since Stockton's generation. Kidd, Nash, Paul, Rondo, and Harden, who later won the assist king. Their teams all focus on pick-and-roll tactics, which is the best tactic to make assists and create misalignment.

Guo Xu also performed in the triangle offense, O'Neal and Kobe attracted double teams and passed the ball, so he could catch the ball and shoot.

He did better than Brian Shaw. He took O'Neal's 3-pointer to the bottom corner at 5 minutes and 20 seconds, scoring his 20th point.

At 3 minutes and 11 seconds, he received the ball from the baseline by an empty cut to attract the defense and then passed the ball to the basket at close range to assist O'Neal in scoring.

At 29 seconds, the Lakers counterattacked quickly, and Guo Xu forced a breakthrough and caused Trier to foul, making both free throws.

At the end of the half, the Lakers led 64-50, and Guo Xu scored 22 points, 2 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal.
