Chapter 381 The Second Game of Back-to-Back

Chapter 1 Seventy: The Second Scene of Back-to-Back

"Pa...pa...pa...pa...pa...pa...!!!" Immediately, neat applause resounded in the coffee shop.

In the eyes of these people, the money spent is not that important, but the process of enjoying the lottery game is the most important thing.

Obviously, the winner's performance is the most important part of the game

.

"Lucky one, what show are you going to perform for everyone?"

The boss suddenly found out that it was Jack, the most popular basketball superstar recently, who came to the stage.

Moreover, the woman next to Jack is still a superb beauty.However, he still suppressed his excitement and said in a normal tone.

He is very clear that since other people come here to consume, he, the boss, is obliged to create a comfortable consumption environment for him.It might be gimmicky to reveal Jack's identity directly, but he clearly has a work ethic.

Similarly, many people in the audience probably recognized Jack.But they didn't act too aggressively, everyone came out for entertainment, why bother to make others feel uncomfortable?I have to say that Westerners have done a very good job in this regard.

"I am very happy to have such an opportunity to perform on stage. Taking advantage of such an opportunity. I want to sing "MY LOVE" and hope everyone likes it. At the same time, I also want to give this song to the one in my heart. a her."

Jack smiled into the microphone and said.

Everyone in the audience quieted down consciously, ready to watch the performance.

Sharapova's eyes were fixed on Jack. Judging from his appearance, he didn't look like a person who couldn't sing. Could it be that he hadn't lied before?
When Jack announced the title of the song with his very magnetic voice, Sharapova's heart trembled unexpectedly, because this song turned out to be her favorite. Could it be God's arrangement.

After hearing the last sentence of Jack's opening remarks, Sharapova immediately blushed.Did Sharapova mistook Jack for confessing to him?
But is this really true?Only Jack knew that.

Jack scanned the crowd and announced the title of the song into the microphone:
"mylove, I hope you like it. MUSIC!!!!"

DJ froze for a moment, the black man had a big earphone hanging on his head.

Looking at Jack on the stage, he suddenly became excited.The United States has never been short of such scenes, but often such unexpected scenes can stimulate anyone's adrenal glands.

The music of mylove began to rise, and the familiar rhythm began to reverberate warmly in the whole hall. This song is very old and everyone knows this song, without exception, without one.

Unlike the ones recorded in the album, in bars, this kind of song is combined with a strong electronic sound. The charm of dance music lies in its strong enthusiasm.
It can wake up everyone's potential depression, it can penetrate the heat into everyone's heart, and spread it to every corner of the bar

.

"an empty street, an empty house, a hole inside my heart..."

When the first sentence came out of Jack's mouth, the couple started to go crazy.
This spell-like song began to exude a spell-like charm among the crowd
Unlike any previous version.

The song spit out from Jack's mouth, with a strange smell, began to impact the nerves of the crowd.

Let this group of people who are depressed on weekdays shout wantonly
The audience, began to scream wantonly, strange rhythm, strong melody, the United States has never lacked such things.

.........

The next day, the Hornets must travel to Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves back-to-back.

Today's battle is the first confrontation between the two sides this season.

Compared with the Timberwolves of this season and the Timberwolves of last season, the Timberwolves have undergone some new changes in some staffing.

The Timberwolves brought in Raptors point guard Mike James before this season.

I thought Mike James and Ricky Davis could help Kevin Garnett inside.

Who knew Mike James was a contract liar.

Last season, he averaged 20+5 per game, but this season it has become 12+3, which has faded away from the aura of the Raptors, and everyone has disappeared.

However, the Sonics dare not underestimate this team that is currently ranked eleventh in the West.

Not because of anything else, but because this is KG's team, with Kevin Garnett as the "Wolf King", the game has a lot of variables.

For the Hornets, the biggest question is who will make up for the two vacancies of the injured Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler.

There is also the defense against Kevin Garnett, who can take on this important task.

Jack may still be able to defend Kevin Garnett, but the Hornets' offense still needs to be in Jack's hands.Will Jack be able to complete the task in this pair?This one can only be revealed in the early game.

Chris Paul is still some time away, but what about Tyson Chandler?Until the playoffs, Tyson Chandler will definitely not get better.

Before the game started, the "New Orleans Chronicle" expressed concern about today's game.

On the newspaper, there was an article written like this: Today the Hornets challenged the Minnesota Timberwolves away, and the situation is not optimistic.

Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler have been injured one after another. Today's game is destined to be unable to play. The Hornets can only expect rookie Mason to perform exceptionally.This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is Jack.

He faced KG, one of the greatest power forwards in league history.Facing such an opponent with super high weight, whether Jack can continue to perform well is the key to winning.This is undoubtedly a great test for Jack.

We can't put our confidence in the newcomer Lamar Kuss. Obviously, Byron Scott won't either, so Kevin is the one who has the most opponents against KG in the game. The confrontation between the two Kevins will be direct affect the outcome of the game. "

Even though this report is very reasonable, Hornets fans choose to believe that the Hornets can win this game.

"Honey, do you think we can win today?"

"My dear, don't worry, we have the great Jack, and Peja, and..., the victory must belong to us!"

"But, but they have KG!"

"KG is nothing, Jack is the best!"

…………

Although fans are optimistic, many people don't think so.

They all thought Jack's Hornets lost Game [-] of your back-to-back to the Timberwolves.

In their view, the Timberwolves, who have the right time, place and people, are bound to win this game.

And being Jack wasn't worried.Although Kevin Garnett was Jack's favorite star in his previous life, Jack now has a supernatural system.

No matter how fierce Garnett is, Jack is also fearless.Jack has undergone continuous training and self-transcendence during the game. Jack now has the strength to challenge Garnett.

Of course, not being afraid of Garnett does not mean that Jack has the determination to win. The Timberwolves have Kevin Garnett and Ricky Davis. This guy is also a headache.

But Jack is not the head coach, and these are not issues he has to consider. The most important thing is for him to set his mind and play well.

Jack is also very excited about today's game.

Besides Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett is currently the most powerful inside player Jack has encountered.

Against kG, Jack had no fear, more excitement, and a surge of enthusiasm couldn't help boiling up, looking forward to the start of the game.

Before the game, in the visiting team's lounge, Byron Scott had a solemn expression and said loudly:

"Fighting the Timberwolves, we have to cut off Kevin Garnett's connection with other players just like we did against the Los Angeles Lakers. Their ability to enter the Western Conference Finals depends on the performance of the whole team."

After Byron Scott swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he continued to shout to all members of the Hornets: "The Timberwolves must start with Garnett, so you must cut off Garnett and other players." And we have to play team basketball. Don’t shoot hard, shoot hard, pass more when you don’t have a good opportunity, run around, like you clean up the Lakers. Get rid of the Timberwolves.”

The players are listening carefully, Byron Scott is a very interesting coach with clear rewards and punishments.At the same time, he is also a very capable head coach.It can turn a team that was originally a big player in the West into a team with a winning percentage of more than 5% in less than a season, helping the Hornets squeeze into the top teams in the West.

Byron Scott deserves credit.Therefore, Byron Scott is still very influential in the team's locker room.

After playing, everyone felt that the Timberwolves fans were unprecedentedly crazy.

"Jack, come to Seattle, New Orleans is not for you!"

"Jack, go back to your house! You are not welcome here."

"Jack, your mother told you to come home for dinner!"

……

Seeing the hot scene of the Timberwolves at home, Russell Butler, who was warming up, came over and joked:

"I found that you are really amazing now, there are fans everywhere."

Jack snorted coldly, and said disdainfully:

"When I blow up their inside line, I don't know if these people will still support it? After talking about Jack, he picked up the basketball next to him and shot it on his own.

"Hey! No matter what kind of opponent you are, you are so confident." Russell Butler murmured to Jack's back.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup remains unchanged.

The center is Mark Blunt, power forward Kevin Garnett, forward Ricky Davis, shooting guard Rashad McCants, point guard Mike James, and this year's No. [-] rookie Randy. Foye is still on the bench.

With the end of the American national anthem, the two teams began to jump the ball.

Jack didn't take the initiative to say hello to Garnett before the game, even though Garnett was Jack's idol in his previous life.

One of the most important reasons why Jack didn't take the initiative to say hello to Jack was that he knew Garnett was an arrogant person.

To be recognized by this superstar, one must first have enough strength, and Jack has done so.

Jack has been very popular for a while, but he still hasn't been able to convince and admire a superstar like Garnett.

It was Garnett and Jack who executed the jump ball!

As the referee flicked the basketball into the sky, when the orange-red basketball flew to the highest point, Kevin Garnett took off instantly.

At this time, he only saw a blue shadow, Jack and Garnett jumped almost at the same time, but pulled the basketball back before Garnett.

This time the basketball hall was boiling. What kind of character is "Wolf King" Garnett? History said that he could touch the top of the backboard continuously.Although it is not necessarily true, it can definitely be used as a reference. The wingspan reaches 223CM, and the height seems to be the same as O'Neill...

You can also single-handedly defend against Kobe and McGrady's lateral speed, sprint speed and explosive power are also top-notch.

When he first entered the league, Garnett was praised for his passion and dunks.The air caps are all waiting for the opponent's ball to be shot, and rely on the unparalleled speed to pull up the ball and send it flying.

The dunk is explosive and has excellent flexibility (like Steve Francis in 2005), such a character lost to Jack, and the Timberwolves fans at the scene believed everything that happened before them.

"Jack, you are so handsome, the wolf king is as slow as a bear!"

"Jack is always invincible!"

"Jack, you want to blow up that arrogant guy!"

…………

There was a lot of boos from the Hornets fans at the scene...

Jack jumped the ball to win, and the orange basketball flew into Mason's hands.

Before Mason got the ball, the Timberwolves had retreated quickly. Seeing that there was no chance for a fast break, Mason steadily controlled the basketball to the frontcourt.

Even if it is as a substitute for Chris Paul.However, I have to say that Mason's ball handling skills are really not covered.

The basketball was under his control, and Mike James couldn't even find a chance to steal the ball.

After halftime, Mason did not behave as everyone imagined.Just hand the basketball to Jack.Instead, he exerted force with his feet and rushed towards the inside line.

Mason's breakthrough made the Timberwolves shrink their defense quickly, but when they were about to clean up this rookie who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth, they found that the basketball had disappeared.

At the same time, Peja Stockovic's body suddenly seemed to change shape, and he ran away a few positions in an instant.

After getting rid of McCants, he came to the left wing of the three-point line. At that second, Mason's pass was immediately available, and then he shot and made a hit!This tactic has been practiced countless times in normal times, and now, they and the others are of course handy in doing it individually.

"Peja! Three points, Mason's pass!" DJ's voice roared out again full of passion.

Peja Stockovic's three-pointer allowed the Hornets to win first!It was also because of Merlin's pass that they saw hope.

"Well done, Mason, I knew you would do it!"

Jack went up and gave Mason a big hug.

Mason said modestly:
"This ball is credited to Peja!"

"Everything is fine!"

Jack smiled brightly, Paul is not here, the Hornets need to play like this.This is exactly what Jack wants to see.It won't be so hard for your teammates to perform well.

The Timberwolves have the ball, and the ball is naturally handed over to Kevin Garnett. Garnett received the basketball with his back against Jack.

Garnett leaned back against Jack, suddenly exerted force, squeezed out an opening, Wolf King straightened his arms instantly, turned over and shot a jumper, and the basketball went into the net hollowly.

The Timberwolves fans at the scene saw Garnett in the first round of singles against Jack.Easily defeated Jack.The audience at the scene resounded with thunderous shouts.

In this supersonic attack, the Timberwolves stepped up their defense against Peja Stockovic. Peja Stockovic tried to get rid of it several times but was followed by McCants. McCants is an unyielding Guy, with a lot of fighting spirit, Peja didn't have a good chance for a while.

But Peja knew that at this time the offense was on his own, and only if he opened up this point, the inside line would have more opportunities.

Anyway, with Jack on the rebound, even Garnett can't take advantage of it.

"Hey, give me the ball!"

Peja ran up to Mason and let Mason pass him the ball.

"What's the matter? Peja wants to attack by himself?"

Mason immediately understood Peja's plan, pretended to hang inside, and the basketball had already come to Peja's hands.

Looking at Peja's firm eyes, McCants, who was defending him, knew it.

Now Peja is ready to get serious, but this not only did not make McCants feel the slightest worry, on the contrary, McCants felt a wave of blood boiling in his bones.

In less than a second, Peja rushed towards the inside and was about to hit McCants.

At this time, Peja didn't seem to want to slow down at all.

I saw him make a quick lateral move, and then he quickly held the ball to his chest with his right hand, held the basketball with his left hand, raised the ball high above his head, and jumped up without hesitation.

The whole process was like flowing clouds and flowing water, without the slightest extra movement, even if it was as fast as McCants, he didn't react at all.Can only watch Peja shot.

What surprised McCants even more is that the general shooting is to wait until the ball reaches the highest point before shooting, but Peja doesn't seem to be like this. It seems that just after lifting the ball for a while, the ball is shot immediately without any hesitation.

This is the difference between a pure shooter and an ordinary shooter. Peja Stockovic's shooting has reached the point of proficiency.

"Shh!"

The basketball and the net made a pleasant friction sound.

Seeing Peja's awesomeness, Jack was also very happy.

In the next round of the Hornets, Peja got the basketball and did not shoot immediately.

Instead, he kept dribbling the ball, and suddenly McCants' body relaxed a little bit.

However, at this moment, Peja's body was dry, and the basketball quickly left his palm and flew towards the basket.

"Shh!"

Not sloppy at all, another three-pointer!Hit three three-pointers in a row!

Peja Stockovic went crazy today too.

The Hornets relied on Peja Stockovic's three three-pointers in less than 3 minutes.A small climax of 9-2 was played.
