The NBA regular season continues, and it was a great game at 9 a.m. today!The Los Angeles Lakers played the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves won 108-106 at home. There were also 6 incredible things that happened in the game, which was simply unbelievable. The Timberwolves' Edwards, Gobert and Reed played well, and they were the best!
The Lakers' starting lineup is Davis, James, Prince, Reddish, Vanderbilt, while the Timberwolves fielded Edwards, Gobert, Conley, McDaniels, Towns. Both sides had a day off and were in good form ahead of the game. In the first quarter, the Lakers were aggressive on the road, leading 31-29, and in the following second quarter, the Timberwolves fought back to pull one back 32-26, and at halftime, the Timberwolves led by four points at 61-57. Neither side scored much in the third quarter, with the Timberwolves holding a slight 21-20 advantage. In the crucial fourth quarter, the Lakers played a 10-5 small climax to tie the score at 87, but in the end, the Timberwolves played an attack wave, Edwards hit a three-pointer, and Towns made free throws to stabilize the situation, and finally won 108-106 over the Lakers. There was also a controversial ball, which made the old emperor James completely angry, but the referee finally awarded 2 points instead of 3 points.
Timberwolves: Edwards scored 31 points tonight, and Gobert contributed 13 points and 13 boards, Conley also played well, scoring 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, McDaniels also contributed 6 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Towns and Reed also performed well, Walker and Lee Kyle were not to be outdone with 6 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists and 4 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists respectively.
Lakers: Davis slashed 33 points, 17 rebounds and 8 assists tonight, which is crazy, James also contributed 26 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, and the two superstars played really well. Rivers has been doing pretty well lately, but he may be a little tired today and doesn't shoot well, which doesn't fit his normal form.
To be honest, the Lakers didn't get broken down until the fourth quarter, thanks to Davis. His performance is really good, the other teammates basically have a poor hand, and the Lakers' overall shooting percentage is also low, all relying on Davis to fight against the Timberwolves alone, and the thick eyebrows are really too hard!
The performance of the 2015 list show was really not good, the consecutive starts were not ideal, the substitute failed to help him get back to form, and his personal confidence was also hit, not only the shooting percentage was low, but he was more and more afraid to shoot, so trade Russell out!
The NBA league is getting younger and younger, and the Timberwolves are one of them, with Edwards in 2020 at 22 years old, Towns at 28 years old in 2015, Gobert at 31 years old, and Reed at 24 years old on the bench. By comparison, the Lakers' 2003 No. 1 pick, James, is 39 years old, and 2012 No. 1 Davis is 30 years old. For the time being, the NBA is still the world of thick eyebrows, but the future NBA designation is Edwards and Towns. In the final moments, although James was still quite tough, and he couldn't be seen as a 39-year-old veteran at all, Edwards was still ferocious, tearing apart the Lakers' defense with a three-pointer and winning the final victory. The two new champions finally defeated the two old champions.
Brother Thick Eyebrows' performance was really amazing, and he flew to block at the last moment, which amazed the fans, but Conley's empty three-point position completely ended the game, and Brother Thick Eyebrows' hat became in vain, and in the last 35 seconds, the Lakers fell behind by 7 points, and they had no strength to overtake again. James also tried his best at the last moment, and the second half of the hand came, and the score was also **, but unfortunately the previous shooting rate was too low and the hole dug was too deep.
3 Undeniable Facts:
Thick eyebrows are still the current top power forward, both offensive and defensive, but the Lakers do lack a center who focuses on defense, Davis has to score and defend, it's really a little tired, it's really a dad and a mom, worry!
The 20-year-old Edwards and the 28-year-old Towns teamed up to defeat the old champions Davis and James, and the new champions came to power.
