Chapter 385 The Hot Scene Caused by Jack

Chapter 174 The Hot Scene Caused by Jack

Casey's mobilization in the locker room just now was very useful to the Timberwolves players.

As soon as the game started in the second half, the Timberwolves seized the opportunity and caught the Hornets by surprise.

In less than one point in the second half, the Timberwolves chased for 6 points in a row.

As soon as the second half started, the outside players of the Timberwolves stepped up their attack on the Hornets' restricted area.That's why the scenes just now appeared at the beginning of the second half of the game.

Casey knew that the Hornets had Jack and David West on the inside. Garnett alone could not win the game by scoring alone. This game needed the performance of other Timberwolves players.

So, in the locker room, he insisted that outside players keep breaking through, even if they were blocked.And Garnett and Mark Blount try to pull out to the outside, pulling Jack and David West out.

Empty the Hornets' restricted area.

The game is still going on fiercely.

After Ricky Davis made a free throw, Rashad McCants suddenly let go of Peja Stockovic to attack Mason.

Mason never thought that Rashad McCants would do this. Mason was caught off guard, and the basketball in Mason's hands was cut off by Rashad McCants.

After stealing the ball, Rashad McCants faced an empty penalty area. Rashad McCants dribbled the ball with full energy and flew towards his own basket.

There was a loud bang.McCants this guy spins 180 degrees in the air and dunks.

Rashad McCants, who had been holding back for the entire first half, could finally feel elated this time.

As soon as Rashard McCantz's dunk came out, the Timberwolves fans at the scene erupted in exclamation.

Hornets possession of the ball!

After Mason was robbed of a ball for no reason just now, this time, he also began to become more cautious.

However, the more Mason is like this, the more he is in the arms of the Timberwolves.

Judging from the situation of the game on the spot, the Timberwolves' defensive strategy is very simple.That is to cut off the connection between Jack and his golfers.

Jack can score, but his teammates absolutely cannot.

The basketball came into the hands of Jack, who was in position.

Faced with such a ferocious counterattack from the Timberwolves in the second half, Jack had to work hard.

Jack is in the low post, holding the ball with his back against Mark Blunt and sitting inside to play.

"Boom!!!" Jack's shoulder hit Mark Blunt's chest abruptly.The muffled sound made everyone watching the ball feel how impactful the impact was at that moment.

Although Jack is only 211 centimeters, when facing a center like Mark Blunt.Jack didn't suffer at all.

Mark Blunt was also very upbeat. Although he felt the pain in his heart, he still forcibly kept his footsteps.

Unwilling to fail, Jack dribbled the ball and hit it again, no way!

Come again! ! !

Even though Mark Blunt's willpower is so firm.However, he still couldn't resist Jack's violent attack.

Mark Blunt was overwhelmed, and Jack's body's center of gravity had been completely lost.

What Jack was waiting for was now. After squeezing away Mark Blunt, Jack bent his knees, squatted down, held the ball in his abdomen, and kicked off the ground. All the muscles on Jack's calves tensed up.

With a "whoosh", Jack jumped into the mid-air, grabbed the ball with both hands, and smashed the ball into the basket again following the inertia of the flight.

Although Jack's dunk is very powerful, the Timberwolves are still strong.

Jack just dunked back the Timberwolves, and the Timberwolves completed another perfect match.

Garnett took the ball in a high position, and the Timberwolves kept running through the outside line in an attempt to tear through the Hornets' defense.

At this time, Ricky Davis on the left suddenly made an empty cut and attracted the attention of Butler and Peja.

And Mike James also bypassed Garnett. At this time, the attention of the Hornets was attracted by these.

At this moment, Garnett, who was holding the ball at the top of the two-point arc, suddenly threw the basketball in his hand to the top of the basket.

A black shadow of McCants also rushed into the Hornets' penalty area like lightning, pierced into the sky like a sharp sword, kicked off the ground and soared into the air, and he slammed the orange-red basketball into the basket.

After the dunk, McCants slid off the court due to the huge inertia in his body.

After McCants dunked the basket, he also looked extremely excited. He directed at the Timberwolves fans on the sidelines, imitating Garnett, "Bobobo!" He clenched his fists and gave himself a few blows to the chest .

At the same time, he yelled at the Timberwolves fans:

"We are wolves!"

Kevin Garnett gave McCants a bear hug, and the opening minutes of the third quarter were the most comfortable games the Wolves have played in the past two years.

Only at this time did he know that the Timberwolves are a team, not the topic of "Garnett vs. Hornets" that some media jokingly said.

Seeing the strength of his teammates like this, Garnett is also happy to make wedding dresses for his teammates.

When everyone mentions "Wolf King" Kevin Garnett, everyone will think of one word, that is independence.

Yes, alone, of course it doesn't mean that Garnett plays alone, but alone, and there are few effective helpers around Garnett in the Timberwolves.

Entering the league, Garnett has maintained a high level of improvement and was an insider SF early in his career.

From the early days of SF to the transition to PF in 99, he has been the top penalty area defender in the league.In particular, the range of defense that can be expanded to near the three-point line is a unique feature of the high-quality PF crowd in the same period.

Garnett was selected by the Minnesota Timberwolves with the fifth pick in the 1995 NBA draft. He was also the first high school student under the age of 20 to be selected in the NBA draft.

With his 7-foot height and comprehensive skills, Garnett is capable of playing any position on the court, and the position where he can best use his talents is the power forward position.

Although Garnett is not the tallest, his wingspan is much higher than that of many big players over 7 feet.This makes his inside scoring ability and rebounding ability stand out among players.

除此之外，他更拥有远比其他中前锋型球员更加优秀的助攻能力，自98－99赛季开始KG曾连续九年保持20+10的表现，期间99－05连续六年还至少贡献5次助攻（为NBA历史No.1）。

Garnett did not become a superstar when Stephen Marbury was still in the Timberwolves, but after he became a star, he was forced to leave the "lone wolf" because of his high salary.

After that, neither Szczerbiak nor Joe Smith could give Garnett substantial help.

Until the 2003-2004 season, McHale got "Alien" Sam Cassell and "Madman" Latril Sprewell from the Bucks to form a three-headed monster. MVP.

The Timberwolves also advanced to the Western Conference Finals unprecedentedly, but unfortunately lost to the Los Angeles Lakers "F4" at the last moment.

After that, Cassell went to the Clippers, Sprewell went to "raise a family", and the Wolf King became lonely again. People often saw Garnett screaming on the field. This is not Garnett's favorite, but a kind of loneliness , a kind of vent.

However, today's third quarter game is against the precedent.

Maybe in the locker room, the Timberwolves players got irritated by Casey or something?
At 68:66, just 3 minutes into the third quarter, the Timberwolves scrambled for points and gradually filled in the points behind, but won a 2-point lead.

This forced Byron. Scott had to call a timeout, the Timberwolves are too abnormal.If the Timberwolves play like this, they are simply a real bloodthirsty wolf pack, and any existence will be torn apart.

After the timeout, Jack walked into the court, took a few breaths, and the expression on his face became more and more dignified.The wolf nature of the Timberwolves is stimulated, and this will be a bloody battle.

The Timberwolves still played very fiercely, and Jack was double-teamed by three people at the basket.

Jack made a pass error and the basketball was cut off by McCants.

McCants made a long pass throughout the court, and the basketball was brought into the hands of Ricky Davis, who had already killed half of the court.

Davis went to the meeting single-handedly and stood up from the ground, "Boom!!" There was a lot of exclamation at the scene.

The Hornets were led by 4 points. From the beginning of the third quarter to the present, the Hornets have passed most of the quarter, except for Jack's goal in the active battle just now.

However, the Hornets did not score a single point.The Hornets must have someone to stand up and break the scoring drought at this time.

Under the defense of the Timberwolves, which was like an iron wall, the basketball could not be scored, and the Hornets were defended for 24 seconds.

mistake! ! !

mistake! ! !

…………

In the third quarter, except for Jack, everyone else seemed to be invisible.

The Hornets' ball simply couldn't pass to Jack's hands.The Hornets' outside line can't be opened either.Facing such a cowhide-like defense from the Timberwolves, the Hornets were still helpless for a while.

Hornets possession of the ball.

24 seconds have been almost exhausted, but the Hornets still have no chance to shoot.

Seeing that the 24-second attack time was approaching, Mason broke through with the ball, faced James' defense, made a step down, and then inserted in.

In terms of speed, James is not Mason's opponent, so Mason passed James easily.

James was taken aback, and hurried up to defend, but he hadn't waited until he caught up with Mason.

Mason passed the ball, the ball was not fast, not tricky, not urgent or slow, as if it was thrown out of bounds on purpose, it didn't look like a pass at all, but just when James was puzzled, he suddenly appeared under the basket A blue figure.

Mark Blunt, who had been following Jack for a long time, noticed that Jack was accelerating suddenly, and realized that something was wrong, so he rushed to meet him and stretched out his short arms to stop Jack.

Jack squinted his eyes, lowered his waist, lowered his focus, and his feet seemed to be equipped with motors, and the speed was a little faster!
"You want to stop me, don't you? Let me do it for you!" Looking at one side of his body, with shoulders and elbows attached to one side, he pressed heavily against Blount's body, head-on!
Suddenly, Blount felt a strong impact, and there was a thud in his chest, the muffled sound he could hear, as if something had been knocked apart, and he couldn't breathe!
The force knocked him flying, his eyes widened, and he wanted to stand still, but he couldn't control it, the momentum made him fall to the ground, and rolled around on the floor.

The referee's whistle did not sound, and Jack ignored Blount, who was already lying on his back on the ground.On the court, Jack follows the principle that the winner is king, and there is no mercy on the basketball court. This is Jack's way of basketball.

Jack's whole body was filled with an aura of a king who stood in his way.

Jack pulled up from the ground as if pulling an onion from the dry land, and Jack's legs flew up from the ground as if they were fitted with forehead springs.Hold the ball high with one arm.

Jack's

There is no one in front, and unless God comes, no one can stop this snap!

boom!
The basketball hoop shook violently, and Jack had already landed firmly, beating the sponge cushion of the basketball hoop excitedly!

The fans in the audience were also impressed by Jack's stern aura, and there was a brief silence at the scene.

"drop!!!!"

"drop!!!!"

"drop!!!!!"

The referee blew a few urgent whistles, Jack frowned and looked back. What does this whistle mean?
When Jack turned his head, he saw Blount lying on the ground in pain, clutching his chest and unable to get up.

"Blount hurt?

No way, it's so easy to hit! "Jack suddenly murmured in his heart, that was just a normal collision in the game, he didn't do anything wrong.

Henry, the Timberwolves team doctor, came up on the court, squatted down and asked Blount, and Garnett, Davis and others also came up.

Garnett has always been known for his fiery temper. Seeing that Jack brought Blount down, Garnett would naturally stand up for his brother.

As soon as Garnett came up, he pushed that Jack away. Jack was caught off guard, and Jack couldn't help but fell forward and staggered...

After the players of the Hornets saw this scene, they all clenched their fists tightly and ran over like crazy, that is, Garnett was surrounded. Seeing them like this, they It seemed that Garnett was going to be eaten alive.

"Fuck!!!"

"Kevin, believe it or not, you can't get out of this basketball gym today?"

"You bastard, what do you want?"

…………

Butler waited for a group of players from the Hornets, ran over, clenched his fists and was about to attack Garnett.

At this time, the referee ran over.

Jack has never had a good temper, and Jack rushed towards Garnett like an angry bull.

With clenched fists and tight lips, his face was extremely distorted, and he yelled at Garnett, "shit! You want to fight, don't you?"

"If you want to fight, I, Jack, is always with you."

"I don't mind letting you leave something today before leaving here."

…………

"Rookie, what did you say?"

"Do you think I'm afraid of you when you fight?"

"Come on? Do you have the ability to come?" Garnett still said arrogantly, still spouting trash talk at Jack.

…………

In order to avoid the expansion of the matter, the referees and players on the scene have already run over and stood in the middle of these two people.In order to avoid the expansion of things.

After the Timberwolves fans at the scene saw such a hot situation, he had already fallen out.

"shit!!!"

"Keep him in Minnesota!!!"

"Savage embryo!"

"Stinky bitch!!!"

"Bitch!!! No one wants a bitch!!"

"Offensive foul, offensive foul!"

The fans with the signs of "Timberwolves must win" all stood up, yelled, booed, booed, and a few gave Jack the middle finger and cursed.

The boos and curses at the scene... like a scourge, swallowed the entire basketball court.

Frowning, Casey walked up to the referee with a confused look on his face, putting pressure on the referee.

As the coach of the Hornets, Byron Skoe saw, naturally he would not sit idly by and walked over.

The head coaches of the two teams discussed with the three referees.In the end, the referee decided to switch to slow-motion footage.

The scene on this side was very hot, and Blunt, who was hit by Jack just now, was supported by the team doctor Henry, clutching his chest and walking towards the locker room.

If it hadn't been for Garnett's push just now, Jack might have gone up to greet him.

However, it started from when Garnett pushed Jack just now.It is already destined to become eternal enemies with Garnett.

A friend of an enemy is still an enemy.

The referee was wearing headphones, leaning on the scorer's table, looking at the screen of a laptop, repeatedly watching the scene of Jack and Blunt colliding.

From the slow motion playback, it can be seen that it was Jack who started it first, and he had already done the sideways and shoulder-sinking action. Then Blount moved sideways and bumped into him, and he didn't stand still. Looking at Kevin, he didn't push or elbow. The movement is just a very ordinary collision...

After watching it several times, the referee took off his earphones, raised his right index finger and middle finger, and bent them.

Jack scored 2 points!
Neither side fouled.

YES!

Jack clenched his fist and bumped his chest excitedly with Butler, and Jack wanted to bump into Mason a few more times.

However, Mason avoided it again, touched his body and said with a smile:
"I don't want to get hurt!"

Jack patted his head hey.

Because Garnett had the action of pushing Jack, Garnett was sentenced to a technical foul.

Jack gets his chance to get to the free throw line.

As soon as Jack stood on the free throw line, the boos and curses on the scene, like a flood of beasts, engulfed the basketball court, completely engulfing the basketball court in an instant.

Jack withstood the pressure of all the Timberwolves fans, and with a "scratch", Jack still scored the ball steadily.
