Chapter 204 Firefighters Participate

Wally Szebiak's offense is not the weather vane of the Timberwolves, Garnett is.

The Timberwolves have been embarrassed since Sprewell and Kassel left.

They didn't want to spend a lot of money to recruit soldiers and were eager to strengthen the draft, but they injected all the good luck in team history into the No. 5 pick in 1995 ten years ago.

There was no strong support outside and no new blood was injected inside. The management coaxed Garnett to keep him patient, and the coaching staff arranged Garnett to make him put the overall situation first.

Garnett played the double core of both offense and defense, and he decided how the Timberwolves would play the game.

But he has never averaged 25 points per game like Nowitzki.

Fans born in the small ball era may not be careful when they see this, and they can’t even make a 25-point average per game? It’s too trash!

Zach Laven, Donovan Mitchell, Brandon Ingram averaged 25 points per game.

Anyone who is clear-headed and not blind and non-Ko-Ko will not feel that these three young people are now qualified to be comparable to Garnett.

Garnett has excellent passes, shots, and breakthroughs, excellent body shape and athletic ability, but he has never averaged 25 points per game.

Hollinger, who created the efficiency value, commented on Kevin Garnett: passing, shooting, and breakthroughs are excellent, and having the best size among basketball players I have ever seen, but he is not a scorer who averages 25 points per game. He has the athletic ability to humiliate his opponent at will, but he is addicted to making fake moves in the air or completing a backward jump shot away from the opponent, rather than actively completing physical confrontation and causing a foul. He has top wingspan and mobility, is good at defending joint defense and blocking the opponent's forward line one-on-one, can switch defense guards and destroy pick-and-rolls, but his team cannot tell at all that there are top defenders in charge.

The first question is his own problem, and the second question is the problem of the Timberwolves' entire team.

Garnett first entered the league and helped McHale. McHale polished his basic skills and mastered many inside skills, allowing us to see a Garnett who strives for excellence in technology but does not like to use his own body. The more he likes to use his technology to solve problems, the less he likes to use his talents to win.

Michael Jordan is the deadliest mid-range pitcher in history, but at the critical moment of life and death, he always holds the ball to blow up the opposite bunker. He knows that with his talent, anyone who defends, he can easily break through. After that, the opponent will either foul or let him succeed. If the foul is not determined enough, he will be able to capture 21 moves.

Kevin Garnett has never had this kind of awareness and determination. He is not a softie. He just can't find the switch at a critical moment. At the beginning of his career, as a high school student, he was taught step by step by step by step by step by step by the top 50 superstars in NBA history. McHale instilled in him traditional technical concepts. Who is McHale? His low-post offensive player in history is second only to Olajuwon. The skills he instilled in Garnett are just like the popular jokes on the Internet about Jordan being a coach to train players - making them look for the basket when they encounter a blocking multi-tie rod.

I went astray at the beginning, but I couldn't come back later.

In the battle against the Lakers, Garnett's anger was ignited by Wei Xia's few words.

He burned uncontrollably, showed abnormally astonishing aggression, completely gave up shooting, and was beaten by the referee for the first offense. He was not frustrated, but carried out the second and third offenses with greater determination and murderous aura.

Garnett successfully increased the confrontation and intensity of both offense and defense. Wei Xia inadvertently became the young man who assassinated the Austrian Grand Duke, and the world war started because of him.

Kobe doesn't care about the intensity of the game, or he may prefer the current intensity.

In the last two rounds before the end of the half, the Timberwolves defended the Lakers until only 2 seconds left to handle the ball. The time was just enough for Wei Xia to throw the hot ball to Kobe. In one second, Kobe didn't adjust, so he pulled it hard and threw one.

If he missed, Kobe enjoyed it.

In 20 seconds, the Timberwolves were also on the verge of defensive pressure beyond their imagination.

Garnett needs to stand up and score. He is so angry that he has the ability to do anything on the offensive end.

The team needed him, so he stood up and refused to hesitate.

Watching him receive the pass, he plays a single with his back, pushes his feet back, pulls back, jumps up, and shoots.

They only leave the Lakers with 3 seconds.

The Timberwolves defended the whole game and forced the Lakers to perform long shots in the backcourt. This kind of thing is indispensable to the participation of the best scapegoat in the Lakers' history.

Wei Xia didn't want to pass the ball at first, but the black ball he had just given Kobe had already made him feel uneasy. Unexpectedly, Kobe opened his hands tirelessly at him, his facial expression was cruel, and he was chanting some vulgar and ugly words.

Since he wants it, give it to him.

Wei Xia made the ball, and Kobe threw a three-pointer that even the basket had even hit.

His hit rate has thus dropped below 50%.

"It's almost damn!" Kobe said regretfully.

"It's obviously a lot worse."

"Will you die if you don't speak?" Kobe looked over with a fierce look, "It's just a little bit!"

Wei Xia nodded while rolling her eyes.

"These guys are crazy. They will do this every time they play with the Timberwolves, especially that Kevin Garnett!" Vanessa raised the game to the hot shit pot without discrimination and buckled it on Garnett's black charcoal head.

Elaine Trovis beside her saw the situation very clearly.

"Wish is indeed a troublemaker."

"Visa?" Vanessa saw Wei Xia walking towards the player passage, "What's wrong with him?"

Elaine reminded: "Didn't you find that all the smell of gunpowder is only available after he appeared?"

"You said that..." Vanessa was like a woman trapped in the desert and saw an oasis that was not a mirage, "It seems that's the case!"

At this time, the live screen played the highlights of the first half.

In the first half against the Timberwolves, Wei Xia played 16 minutes, scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and several wonderful offenses were edited into the highlights. Especially after that wonderful positional battle, he scored a breakthrough trolley and squirted about Garnett.

Although Wei Xia never admits that he has spoken trash, if he wants to investigate trash experts in the future, his name will appear in the mouths of anonymous voters at the highest frequency.

"It's him..." Although the situation was clear, Vanessa still didn't let Wei Xia take the blame. "Garnett is really strange. What is he competing with the rookie? What can Visa say to make him angry like that? As far as I know, Visa doesn't say trash words."

Elaine originally wanted to remind Vanessa to pay attention to what Kobe was angry with Wei Xia and said, "Visa doesn't speak trash." Then she thought about it and let it go. She is now a bit like a bad woman who is messing around, so it's better to shut up.

Garnett's abnormal outbreak and Kobe's powerful response made the game confusing.

Since Wei Xia came on the court, the intensity of the confrontation between the Lakers and the Timberwolves has increased.

Wei Xia discovered the most amazing traits of Garnett. When he exploded, his teammates' strength was also improving.

He will never stop shouting and roaring, his offense is full of passion and vitality, and in anger he gave up his inefficient jump shot, and every goal is accompanied by swearing and pounding his chest and talking to himself.

His emotions infected the Timberwolves.

He made his teammates look like wild beasts licking blood. The smell of blood will not make them retreat, but will only stimulate the beastly nature in their bodies.

33 to 28

At halftime, the Timberwolves led the Lakers by 5 points.

In the second half, Wei Xia did not make it to the Lakers' starting list.

Jackson decided to let Weisha take a break, and the person who entered the starter was Brian Russell.

The Zen master was a little disappointed with Sprewell. He received a salary of tens of millions and paid a million value. Considering that he only had 20 minutes of good condition per game, the value of millions had to be discounted in half.

Jackson had no complaints about this matter.

He found the man, and all the reinforcements were his opinions. They didn't work now. It was not a management problem, but his problem.

If the Lakers do not achieve satisfactory results this year, he may lose the right to advise on personnel appointments and removals. At that time, he will not talk about the signings that dominate the offseason, even the right to fire the bus driver will probably be taken back.

This is Dr. Bath's attitude.

Therefore, even to prove himself, Jackson must reuse the people he found.

So Lakers fans saw that Smash Parker, Sprewell, Russell, and even Tony Kukoc had more playing time than Buss Jr.'s baby Bynum.

In the second half, Kobe's firepower doubled, but Garnett calmed down.

He no longer rushed into the Lakers' penalty area like crazy. He regained his selfless style and did research for the hot-formed Szebiak as much as possible. It was much easier to get rid of Russell's defense than to get rid of Weisha's defense.

Russell, who dared to challenge Jordan back then, no longer had the courage he used to be. Jackson came to him to value his experience and the courage that he was not afraid of even Jordan. Now, his traits that make people applaud him have become unparalleled cheeky.

Szebiak used half a quarter to hit four three-pointers on Russell's head, and surpassed Garnett to become the Timberwolves' team scoring champion so far in this game.

Russell told his teammates without changing his face: "Don't worry, don't be afraid, the sun always comes after the storm, I can handle that sissy!"

If Jackson believed him, his ten championship rings were given for phone bills.

Jackson decisively called for a pause, asking Russell to sit down honestly and not say anything or do anything.

Then, he called out the firefighters from the crowd.
