Chapter 200 Don't pretend, it's a showdown

Kevin Garnett is very happy recently, very happy, so happy that he wants to take off.

This summer, when all eyes were on Michael Jordan's feud with the Wizards, his cutest Timberwolves owner signed "Madman" and many other helpers for him.

Originally he disliked this group of people, especially when they lost all three games before the start of the new season, he felt that he was going to have another bad season.

But what I didn't expect was that after losing three games in a row, the Timberwolves got better and better. They have now reached the top three positions in the Western Conference and defeated many opponents that the Kings and Spurs never dared to think about.

Kevin Garnett feels that his time has finally arrived after 8 years.

Um……

Michael Jordan seems to have won a championship at this time in his career, right?

Hiss~

You can't think about this in detail. The more you think about it, the more Kevin Garnett feels that he has got the script for "The God of Basketball".

It's time, it's time for the Timberwolves to rise up.

Therefore, when he heard boos at the Wizards' home court, he was not annoyed at all, and even wanted to laugh a little. When he saw Jiang Dalin on the court, he wanted to hug Jiang Dalin and tell him that this is how the world is.

Yes, no one knows what will happen in the next second.

For example, a few months ago, you were still the MVP of the Finals, but a few months later, you are the core of the bottom team in the Eastern Conference.

Life is so unpredictable.

The game officially started soon.

Before Jiang Dalin came on the court, he called everyone to his side: "Guys, this is the first game since Larry Brown left. If we lose, we will definitely be questioned, thinking that we are the reason why the Wizards lost like this.

This is what we have to endure when Larry Brown leaves!"

"So... no matter what, guys, it is very important to win this game, and treat him as the finals!"

Boozer wanted to raise his hand and ask what he would do if he had not played in the finals, and then he saw that he was a substitute...oh, that's okay.

The game officially started immediately, with Jiang Dalin and Kevin Garnett jumping the ball.

The "Wolf King" has an absolute wingspan, but in this game Jiang Dalin has an absolute reason to fight hard, and his absolute belief allows him to successfully jump the ball.

The Wizards' start.

Billups dribbles to the frontcourt.

Arenas moves aggressively.

He actually belongs to the kind of player who is more focused on attacking with the ball, and is not good at catching and shooting.

But in fact, it is not that Arenas has never cooperated with players who have the ability to hold the ball. His original partner was Larry Hughes, a defender who likes to break through with the ball, and the two of them got along very well.

This proves that Arenas can control without the ball.

The only question is whether he wants to play or not. It can only be said that Larry Brown has helped this team too much. The original Arenas will definitely compete for it, but now, in order to perform well, he has to compete with him.

With a good team record, he is absolutely obedient when making decisions about the team.

He is really, so gentle, I cried to death.

Billups held the ball and saw Arenas emptying the left wing, so he forced a breakthrough from the left.

The Timberwolves' current number one position is "Alien" Cassel, a player whose playing style is similar to that of the old man.

He's just a threat on the offensive end, but he's really good on the defensive end.

How to put it, just look at Billups' current playing style and you will know that he is not a player who is good at holding the ball and making strong breakthroughs, but now, he is doing this.

Kevin Garnett filled in.

He fully demonstrated his mobility.

To be honest, Jiang Dalin has always thought that the most suitable partner for him is none other than Kevin Garnett.

If the two of them can play together, apart from other things, it will be very difficult for others to score at the basket.

The ball was passed from his armpit and flew into Haywood's hands.

A dunk on the spot, Haywood successfully hit the ball.

Returning to the starting bench, Haywood's progress this season is not very obvious, only 10.2 points and 7.6 rebounds, but for the Wizards, all they need is his ability to eat cake and compete under the basket.

It’s completely sufficient in this regard!

Haywood is not dissatisfied with his position on the team. In his third year in the league, he has already known that coming from North Carolina is also different. There is obviously a huge gap between him and his senior brother.

There is nothing wrong with helping Jiang Dalin honestly.

Isn’t it great to get two championship rings?

Moreover, there will be bonuses for each additional playoff game, and even more bonuses for winning the finals. These are all written in the contract. In the past two years, the additional income from playing alone has been almost 300,000.

To be honest, small players may really like basketball when they play, but if you ask most tall players, their answer is basically that they can make money by playing basketball, and for them, it is

Very fast way to make money.

This is the fundamental reason why most tall players play in the NBA.

So you rarely hear Chamberlain talking about winning the championship.

When the Timberwolves switch offense and defense, Cassel dribbles forward. It can be seen from his expression that he is obviously more relaxed and comfortable on the offensive end than on the defensive end. Even Billups, the first position, is considered above average defensively.

Players of this level must also maintain absolute concentration.

Cassel dribbled the ball slowly, changing the rhythm from time to time. His dribbling rhythm was fast and slow at this time, which made Billups afraid to step forward. The entire offensive and defensive rhythm was controlled by Cassel.

Suddenly, Cassel lowered his center of gravity while holding the ball and walked directly to the inside along the right side. Billups was about to defend and hit a "human wall".

It's Kevin Garnett.

Looking at his child's godfather, Billups shook his head helplessly. He knew very well the old man's pick-and-roll ability, but he didn't expect that this trick would be used on him now.

Cassel bypassed Kevin Garnett's screen, pulled up and shot.

This is the shot he is most familiar with, the mid-range jump shot.

If there is no one to help with the pick-and-roll, he will use his sometimes fast and sometimes slow dribbling rhythm to suddenly get stronger and complete the mid-range shot.

In the rhythm you are best at, this ball should be stable.

However, as soon as the ball flew out of his hand, it was covered by a big hand and hit directly behind him.

Volleyball style hat from Jiang Dalin!

The ball landed on the ground behind Cassel with a loud thud.

Cassell's eyes were full of disbelief. Is this guy... flying?

Arenas showed his explosive physical fitness, caught the ball, and dunked successfully.

This guy is a professional at picking up leaks!

4-0.

The Timberwolves serve again.

"I'll have one!"

After serving the ball, Kevin Garnett walked past Cassel and said something to Cassel.

Cassel nodded and followed Kevin Garnett's request. After he got into the high position, he gave the ball to his hands. Kevin Garnett, who had the ball in his hand, faced the defensive Jiang Dalin and secretly

Gritting his teeth, he really didn't want to fight Jiang Dalin alone, but the problem now was that the Timberwolves urgently needed someone to stand up. As the leader of the Timberwolves, he had to stand up at this time.

Pretending that the person behind him was not Jiang Dalin, Kevin Garnett held the ball and slowly found a back-up rhythm. However, every time he hit the ball, he took a step to the outside of his own accord. In the end, Kevin Garnett took the shot.

By that time, he was already stepping on the three-point line.

The ball didn't go in with a "bang" sound.

Under the basket is a well-known parallel import "Sugar Man", and Kwame Brown has not lost his reputation in this time and space. This has also led to the fact that to this day, he still wears the title of the most popular No. 1 pick in the league.

It is estimated that only after Bennett enters the league can he truly take off this hat.

It is worth mentioning that, entering the third season of his career, Kwame Brown has averaged 15 points and 8 rebounds per game so far, and he has gradually become a bit like a first-line inside player in the league.

In fact, under the vicious attack of Michael Jordan, Kwame Brown originally scored 11 points and 7 rebounds in his third year, but due to the lack of attention from the team management and the unwillingness of the head coach Eddie Jordan to use him

, causing his self-confidence to be severely frustrated, and he gradually slumped later, but in the end he still relied on defense to gain a foothold in the league for a long time.

After going through so many things, he can still gain a foothold in the league, which shows how talented he is.

In the same comparison, Milicic entered the league at the age of 19 and lost himself under Larry Brown's iron-fisted methods. However, he later left the league after playing for other teams for a few years.

From this we can see that Kwame Brown is really awesome.

Of course, Milicic's withdrawal from the NBA has a lot to do with his attitude.

Although his experience is distressing, his professional attitude is, to be honest, quite bad. As early as in the European basketball world, there have been various scandals.

Larry Brown, who doesn't like players with bad habits, naturally hates him even more.

In the final analysis, all pua are destined...

"Sugar Man" hit one of his own, but was blocked by Haywood. He grabbed the rebound again and passed the ball to the outside.

"Handsome guy" Szczerbiak shot from the wing of the three-point line. He was very handsome and had a beautiful posture. Unfortunately, this shot was a little short and hit the front of the basket.

Jiang Dalin protected the rebound this time.

The Timberwolves grabbed two offensive rebounds in this round. If the ball is stolen again, Jiang Dalin can guarantee that no matter how Buddhist Scott is, he will probably yell at his mother.

Just look at the increased frequency of his pacing back and forth.

Jiang Dalin glanced at Arenas and rushed out again. He also quickly passed the ball. The quality of the pass was still very high. Just when Arenas was approaching the basket, it fell in front of him. He

Holding it with both hands, he smashed hard and successfully completed the score.

After two fast break dunks, Arenas' mood really took off.

He ran over and high-fived Jiang Dalin.

Although he doesn't have much possession of the ball, if the game keeps playing like this, he is still quite willing.

The Timberwolves, who have been unable to score points, are getting impatient. This can be seen from the fact that their communication with each other is a little more emotional.

This is actually a very strange player. There are quite a lot of conflicts within the team. During the training camp, there were at least two fights. However, it just happened that this group of people worked together to create a chemical reaction and became the "dark polo" of this season.

Team".

So!

You never know who is the best teammate for you!

Cassel's dribbling breakthrough was blocked, and he gave the ball to Kevin Garnett in the high post again. He had just hit it hard once, but he didn't have the courage to hit it again. He immediately threw the ball to the wing, where "Madman"

Attack when you get the ball, trying to finish the offense with a strong kill at the basket.

Unfortunately, Jiang Dalin quickly let him know what "Sorry, flying is prohibited here" meant and blocked his ball.

Two hats.

There was no chance for a fast break this time. The Wizards played steadily. Jiang Dalin quickly came down from the high screen and pointed at the basket. Billups understood and threw the ball towards the basket.

Kevin Garnett jumped up high, trying to stop their cooperation this time. Unfortunately, Jiang Dalin caught the ball in advance and dunked it into the basket.

The astonishing "alley-oop dunk" stunned Boozer, and he recalled those memories of February this year when he was with the Wizards.

Now, he had to watch this monster attack recklessly on the field.

Bobby Simmons looked at his unfamiliar appearance and patted him on the shoulder: "You will definitely get used to it in the future!"

Another person who was shocked was Arenas.

This kind of alley-oop is actually this guy's regular offensive method?

This was something he discovered only after he came to the Wizards.

Looking for an opportunity for Jiang Dalin to receive an alley dunk... This outrageous statement was clearly written in the Wizards' offensive tactics. He never thought that this kind of thing could be called a tactic!

Of course, now he understands, this can really be called a tactic!

Because the person who implemented this tactic is named Jiang Dalin!

Another person who curses in my heart is Kevin Garnett.

No, do you call this the third-to-last ranking in the Eastern Conference?

Is the Eastern Conference as strong as this year?

Just beat them, the Timberwolves, who are ranked second in the Western Conference?

Leading 0-8 at the start?

Or should I say...

Kevin Garnett looked at Jiang Dalin next to him.

Is this playing me?

After thinking about it carefully, Kevin Garnett felt that it was really possible.

However, I'm not playing him, I'm playing Larry Brown.
