That's right, Garnett didn't even play the fourth power forward in the Timberwolves this year, but the small forward!

I have to praise Flip Saunders. This guy's brain is still very easy to use. With Garnett's speed when he was young, he can indeed play small forward. Although it was always said that Garnett and Duncan are the same. Nowitzki can't compare, but it also means that Garnett always slips up at critical moments and cannot determine the victory of his team. Simply put, Garnett is not the one who has the final say!

But Garnett is actually a very good supporting player. After Duncan was seriously injured, Garnett's defensive range is the largest among power forwards! Well, although he still can't beat Duncan and Nowitzki, if he is allowed to be the second boss, he is still a very good choice!

However, Garnett is too shameless to let go of being the second boss of others. Even if he went to the Celtics at the end of his career, the boss of the Celtics is still Paul Pierce. But the Celtics at that time gave Garnett the same respected status.

So if anyone can make Garnett the second in command, it would be like a dream! Even Garnett's good friend Kobe Bryant didn't let Garnett go to the Lakers when Garnett was about to leave the Timberwolves. At that time, Kobe was at a low point in his career, and even then he didn't agree with Garnett going to the Lakers. , it can be seen that Garnett will not give up his position as the boss at all!

Moreover, Garnett wanted to go to the Lakers at that time, but Corvo was so smart that he just escaped from his shell. After it was decided that Garnett would join the Celtics, this kid reappeared and issued a message. Sighing"Oh, what a pity, it would be great if Garnett could join us!"

In fact, Corvo never had any intention of letting Garnett join! Find someone to compete with you for the position of boss, Corvo is not that stupid!

In this game between the Timberwolves and the Trail Blazers, the starting five were center, Cloche Parks, who averaged 21 minutes per game as a fake starter.

In the 1997-98 season, he averaged 7.

1 points and 5.

5 rebounds per game.

Power forward, Gugliotta, has been introduced, small forward, Garnett, shooting guard, Chris Kyle, this person is also a fake starter, averaging about 20 minutes per game, 9.

9 points and 3.

1 rebounds, 677 can only say Make a living!

Point guard, Stephon Marbury, we should all be very familiar with this one.

Commissar Marbury, like Garnett, is still in the rookie period and is currently a sophomore.

In the 1997-98 season, he averaged 17.

7 points and 8.

6 assists per game.

Not bad for a rookie!

Of course, compared to Lin Chen, Marbury was a little helpless!

Because he had to send Brian Grant away, Old Dunleavy also let Brian Grant play for two consecutive games to improve his statistics. This time, Brian Grant replaced Robert Horry at the small forward position. In addition to him, the Blazers There have been no changes to the lineup.

Still accompanied by the music of the Ten Sacred Blades, Lin Chen once again made his home appearance!

After two games and a period of fermentation, Lin Chen’s reputation in the Portland area has become even better!

Now there are many Trail Blazers fans who come to the arena specifically to watch Lin Chen play! Moreover, there are many women around 30-40 years old!

After all, a handsome guy like Lin Chen was a rarity in the Chou Country. These mature women felt like they were going to die just by looking at Lin Chen! Not to mention Lin Chen waving to them!

Of course, Lin Chen waved to the entire audience. I don’t know how they felt that Lin Chen waved to them specifically.

Old Dunleavy actually has no tactical arrangements for the Timberwolves. After all, the current Timberwolves don't need old Dunleavy to specifically target them. Although Gugliotta is indeed very powerful, Garnett and Marbury are still too immature. One point, if Gugliotta is not injured, he can maintain his peak condition for two more years. Maybe the Timberwolves, with a few good role players and these three cores, can really do something! But no one thought that Gugliotta would be injured!

However, this has nothing to do with Lin Chen. Injuries are always part of the game. It can only be said that Gugliotta does not have the destiny to be the boss!

Before the game, the Timberwolves and Trail Blazers had no communication, and the players from both teams didn't know each other very well! There was nothing to celebrate, neither side knew what to say, so (baah) they just got ready to start the game!

Lin Chen didn't expect that Cherokee Parks was so weak that he couldn't even jump an older version of Sabonis. Seeing Sabonis win the jump ball, Lin Chen even felt a sense of absurdity. feel! Good guy, I really just want to make a teenager crazy!

Lin Chen dribbled the ball past half-time. Marbury, who has not yet become Chinese, is a person who doesn't like to talk very much. Facing Lin Chen, a junior who has become famous, he has no reaction. He just plays his ball well and just With such a cold personality, no wonder he has the nickname Lone Wolf!

But it’s okay not to communicate, Lin Chen said rubbish, but not to communicate, it doesn’t mean that Marbury doesn’t understand Lin Chen. As soon as Lin Chen passed halftime, Marbury posted it, and now everyone Every NBA team knows that Lin Chen likes to throw up three-pointers in the middle of the half when no one is guarding him. After people understand this, no team will ignore Lin Chen!

Sanders repeatedly told Marbury not to give Lin Chen a chance to make an easy move!

Obviously, Marbury listened and implemented the coach's request very well!

But to Lin Chen, it doesn't matter. Even if the younger version of Marbury is fast, it's not as fast as Lin Chen!

Facing Marbury, Lin Chen also showed his best competitive form and his strongest first step! As soon as he came up, Lin Chen gave Marbury a big surprise!

Even though Marbury had been alert, he was still passed by Lin Chen at the top of the arc with an acceleration burst!

However, although Marbury was very surprised after being passed, he did not panic at all, because Garnett, a defensive master whose defensive range almost covers the entire three-point line, is still here!

It was just Lin Chen's second step past Marbury, and Garnett's complementary defense arrived! Although Garnett never thought that Lin Chen could defeat Marbury's defense so quickly, he still made up for it!

However, facing the long-handed and long-legged Garnett, Lin Chen had no intention of hitting hard. With a shake of his hands, the basketball was passed directly to Brian Grant, who was already open!

This is where the third-year Garnett has a problem with his judgment! Is it right to make up defense? It is right! But he forgot that neither Gugliotta nor Parks had the same defensive rotation ability as him!

So Garnett could only watch helplessly as Brian Grant made this open two-point shot from close range! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Lin Chen smiled at Garnett and said,"Don't be so nervous! Basketball is not a one-person game!"

And Brian Grant started to show off. He was there to show off his power, but he had no idea that old Dunleavy had long wanted to trade him away, and now he was just asking him to brush up on his data!

The trade target, Old Dunleavy, has long been optimistic about it. It is still the 76ers who took advantage of him. Kenny Anderson played pretty well with the 76ers, so the 76ers' management felt that their last trade was okay. , of course, only the management of the 76ers thought so. The 76ers fans were going crazy. What did these idiots think? That was Lin Chen! Lin Chen scored 47 points in the first game! Can't you train two rookies together?

But the 76ers used the reason that we have AI to suppress the dissatisfaction of all 76ers fans! But Ai and Lin Chen, one plays the shooting position and the other plays the point guard, isn't this great?

Of course, Lin Chen doesn't want to go to the 76ers to wipe AI's butt on the defensive end. Although he respects AI, it doesn't mean that he wants to go up to the pole and be someone's little brother! That's something even Duncan can't do!

This time the Blazers' target is the 76ers' current backup point guard Snow, who is also one of the main players in the 76ers' run to the Finals, but at this time he is still a rookie substitute. With Kenny Anderson's Under the circumstances, this guy basically has very little time to play, so he might as well come to the Trail Blazers to play as a substitute for Lin Chen!

The two sides are also in discussions. After all, Brian Grant performed well last year, otherwise he wouldn't have been poached by the Trail Blazers from the Kings. But now the team really doesn't need him. After all, the Trail Blazers now have a forward line. There are already enough people. This is not the future. We need to hoard forwards to deal with Durant and so on. Who are we to hoard forwards to deal with now? What about dealing with Pippen? Isn't that a joke?

The 76ers are also relatively satisfied. After all, Stackhouse was traded away by them, and they really need someone on the front line.

Before the game, Garnett disliked Lin Chen. After hearing Lin Chen's trash talk, Garnett felt even more uncomfortable. He had always been the one to criticize others, but now he was being criticized!

This was a bit unacceptable to Garnett, and he vowed to spray it back!

But in the next few rounds, Lin Chen didn't give him any chance!

Marbury is still a bit too young. Whether it's offense or defense, some of his handling is completely different from that of an old man like Lin Chen. Even though Lin Chen is young, he played in his dream for a year while the Warriors played overtime against the Thunder. race man!

He has much more experience in handling the ball than Marbury!

Therefore, Marbury was particularly uncomfortable being restricted by Lin Chen in the first quarter.

He couldn't attack offensively and couldn't defend defensively.

Although Marbury has never been a player famous for his defense, he can be regarded as an average defensive player.

As a result, Lin Chen got what he wanted on the offensive end, but it's no wonder that even Payton's gloves were exploded by Lin Chen's beating, let alone Marbury!

At the end of the first quarter, Garnett failed to find a chance to target Lin Chen in the entire game, and had no choice but to end the game at 9 minutes, while Lin Chen played the entire quarter. Although Gliotta is not very good defensively, he is really ruthless in the offensive department. At the fourth position, there are few people better than him!

Even Rasheed Wallace failed to guard him. In the first quarter, Gugliotta made 4 of 6 free throws and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 10 points and 3 rebounds in a single quarter!

This is the result of Sabonis helping out for two rounds, otherwise, it might be even worse!

Another player who performed well was Garnett. Facing Brian Grant, who was a data collector, the two started a battle mode. You brushed yours, and I brushed mine. They were stunned to let Garnett use his iron-blooded giant. He made a 3-for-3 jump shot and scored 6 points!

However, except for Gugliotta and Garnett, the other Timberwolves players did not perform well. Marbury was 0 for 3 and had no effect except 2 assists. Chris Kyle was 0 for 3. , not a single point had to be said, and was even fouled by Richmond for two!

Parks is even more heavyweight, and even caused a scene where the butter hand dropped the ball, which made people sigh, these are a bunch of lying dragons and phoenixes!

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers played quite smoothly in the first quarter. Lin Chen did not take many shots in the first quarter and only created opportunities for his teammates. In a single quarter, he made 2 of 3 and 1 of 2 three-pointers. At the same time, he had 5 points and 6 assists in a single quarter!

Richmond made 3 of 3 in a single quarter, 1 of 1 three-pointers, and 44 free throws. All three goals were scored by Lin Chen. He scored 11 points in a single quarter. Richmond looked at Lin Chen as if he was seeing himself. The point guard is like a father! Mom, this ball is too easy to hit!

Although Brian Grant was brushing up statistics, his efficiency was really not very high. He made 2 of 5 and barely scored 7 points with 3 of 4 free throws.

Rasheed Wallace did not participate in the offense in the first quarter, and the defense alone made him exhausted. Sabonis made 1 of 1 misses at the basket and scored two points. Oh, the miss he made was Parks. That ball in the butter hand is really a bit hellish

In a single quarter, the Trail Blazers entered the second quarter with a 7-point lead at 25:18.

It's not that there was something wrong with old Dunleavy.

They had to let these two old guys play the whole quarter, but that their running-in with Lin Chen was really difficult.

Too little.

If they are played intermittently, it will slow down the running-in speed.

That's why old Dunleavy arranged it this way.

In the second quarter of the game, old Dunleavy replaced these two old guys to rest, and they will not be put up until the third quarter.!

Not only these two old guys, except for Brian Grant who wanted to brush up the data, Rasheed Wallace and Lin Chen also went down to rest for four minutes before going up again. However, in these four minutes, there was no Lin Chen. In the case of dust, the Blazers didn't play well!.
