NBA: Opening Template Atsushi Murasakibara

The game officially begins

Timberwolves starting lineup.

Rasu Nesterovic, Garnett, Szczerbiak, Malik Hiri, Trier Brandon,

From the names of these people, ~ can be seen.

The Timberwolves are now - what's the situation.

Except Garnett and Szeby-Yaa.

The rest are role players.

Not even role players are leftovers.

Warriors here.

Big Ben, Du Qi, Bowen, Kobe, Nash.

Both sides jump ball.

Du Qi easily beat Nate Strovic.

Nash holds the ball over halftime

In the face of Brandon, Nash still has an advantage.

Brandon is only 180 tall

The actual height may be better than 180.

Nash has an advantage directly by virtue of his size.

Find Big Ben to play the pick-and-roll.

Nash directly shook off Brandon and broke through to the inside.

The Timberwolves' big center is too slow to keep up with Nash's footsteps.

Garnett's defense range, in fact, can help to prevent Nash.

But he was afraid that Nash would pass the ball to Du Qi.

So no defense.

Instead, Szczerbiak went to help.

But Szczerbiak's speed is like that, and it is definitely not as good as Garnett's.

Nash has completed the layup.

Szczerbiak just got back to the basket.

2 to 0,

The Warriors easily finished their first offense.

Brandon holds the ball over halftime.

Found Szczerbiak for the pick-and-roll.

Brandon's height also gives him a little advantage

high speed!

With the pick-and-roll, he got out of Nash's defense

Hit the inside.

But the big Ben and Du Qi in the inside made him give up his mind immediately.

With his height, he can't rush in at all!

Brandon immediately passed the ball to Ciri on the outside.

Ciri is a shooting guard for the Timberwolves.

Selected with the 14th overall pick in the 1992 first round.

His strength is pretty good.

Strong defense, accurate in the mid-range.

At the same time, he will achieve an achievement in the future.

That is, after only two years in the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves retired his jersey.

You know, in the history of the Timberwolves, a total of one person has retired a jersey!

That man is Ciri!

Even years after Garnett retired, the Timberwolves didn't give him a retired jersey.

Why can Ciri retire his jersey after only two years with the Timberwolves?

・・・Flowers 0・・・

Because, in the Timberwolves' second season, Ciri drove to Garnett's birthday party.

As a result, there was a car accident on the way.

Died in a car accident.

When he died, he was only 30 years old.

It is precisely because of this that the Timberwolves retired his jersey.

If you do the math now, it should be May 2000.

In other words, according to historical development, Ciri still has half a year to live.

After Ciri caught the ball, he directly broke through Kobe.

Kobe was physically strong and was not afraid of Ciri's breakthrough.

The two directly confronted each other.

After the physical confrontation between Ciri and Kobe Bryant, he took a step back and closed the ball.

Mid-range shot.

Kobe continued to interfere.

Ciri was disturbed by Kobe, and his shooting pattern changed.

Basketball didn't score.

Big Ben grabbed the rebound and passed it to Du Qi.

Du Qi directly dribbled the ball and made a fast break.

Garnett followed behind Du Qi.

Garnett's speed is very fast, and can be slightly equal to Du Qi, who is running with the ball.

After all, the template when Du Qi participated in the draft was Garnett! 3.
