You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 205
Chapter 2 Firefighters Attend
Wally Szczerbiak's offense isn't the Timberwolves' bellwether, Garnett is.

Since the departure of Sprewell and Cassell, the Timberwolves have been embarrassed.

They don't want to spend a lot of money on recruiting. They are eager to strengthen the draft, but they injected all the good luck in team history into the fifth pick in 1995 as early as ten years ago.

There is no strong support outside, no new blood injection inside, the management coaxes Garnett to keep him patient, and the coaching staff arranges Garnett to let him focus on the overall situation.

Garnett played a dual core on both ends of the offense and defense, and he decided how the Timberwolves would play the game.

But he never averaged 25 points per game like Nowitzki.

Fans who were born in the small ball era may not care about it when they see this, can't they average 25 points per game?It's rubbish!
Zach LaVine, Donovan Mitchell, Brandon Ingram casually averaged 25 points per game.

Any non-KG black with a clear head and no blindness will not feel that these three young people are now qualified to be compared with Garnett.

Garnett has excellent passing, shooting, and breakthroughs, excellent body shape, and historically excellent athletic ability, but he has never averaged 25 points per game.

Hollinger, who created the data of efficiency value, commented on Kevin Garnett in this way: Passing, shooting, and breakthrough are all excellent, and he has the best body shape among basketball players I have ever seen, but he is not a scorer who averages 25 points per game;He has top wingspan and mobility, is good at defending the zone and blocking the opposing striker one-on-one, can switch guards and destroy pick-and-rolls, but his team does not seem to have a top defender at all.

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

Garnett entered the league for the first time and played for McHale.McHale polished his basic skills, allowing him to master many inside skills, and let us see a Garnett who keeps improving his skills but doesn't like to use his body very much.The more I like to use technology to solve problems, the less I like to use my talents to win.

Michael Jordan is the deadliest mid-range shooter in history, but at the critical moment of life and death, he always holds the ball to blow up the opponent’s bunker. He knows that with his talent, he can easily break through anyone who defends him. After that, the opponent either fouls or lets him succeed.

Kevin Garnett has never had this kind of awareness and determination. He is not a soft guy, he just couldn't find the switch at the critical moment. As a high school student at the beginning of his career, he was taught by the top [-] superstars in NBA history.McHale instilled in him the traditional idea of ​​technology.McHale who is that?Second only to Olajuwon's low-post offensive player in history, the skills he instilled in Garnett are just like the jokes popular on the Internet about Jordan being a coach to the players-letting them meet the blocker and then find the basket.

If you go off the road at the beginning, you won't be able to come back later.

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

He flared up uncontrollably, uncharacteristically and surprisingly aggressively, forgoing his shot entirely, undeterred by the referee's job on his first down, and executing his second and third down with greater determination and murderousness.

Garnett successfully improved the confrontation and intensity of both offense and defense. Weixia inadvertently became the young man who assassinated the Archduke of Austria, and the world war started because of him.

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

In the last two possessions before halftime, the Timberwolves held the Lakers to just 2 seconds 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, and he pulled it up and threw one.

No, Kobe enjoyed it.

In 20 seconds, the Timberwolves were also on the verge of unimaginable defensive pressure.

Garnett needs to step up and score, and he has the ability to do anything on the offensive end when he is full of anger.

The team needed him, and he stood up without hesitation.

Watching him catch the pass, post up, push it up, step back, catch the ball and jump up and make the shot.

They only left the Lakers with 3 seconds.

The Timberwolves defended the audience and forced the Lakers to execute long-range shots in the backcourt. This kind of thing cannot do without the participation of the best backer in the history of the Lakers.

Wei Xia didn't want to pass the ball at first, but the scapegoat he gave to Kobe just now made him feel uneasy.Unexpectedly, Kobe opened his hands to him tirelessly, with a ferocious expression on his face, and some vulgar words in his mouth.

Since he wants it, give it to him.

Wei Xia took the ball, and Kobe threw a super long-range three-pointer in 0.8 seconds that didn't even touch the basket.

His shooting percentage has thus dropped below 50%.

"Nearly, damn it!" Bryant said regretfully.

"It's obviously a lot worse."

"Will you die if you don't speak?" Kobe looked over fiercely, "It's almost!"

Wei Xia nodded and rolled his eyes.

"This group of people is really crazy. It happens every time I play against the Timberwolves, especially that Kevin Garnett!" Vanessa indiscriminately raised the game to a white-hot shit basin and buckled it on Garnett's black charcoal head.

Elaine Trovis, beside her, saw the situation clearly.

"Wish is indeed a troublemaker."

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

Elaine reminded: "Didn't you realize that all the smell of gunpowder came after he came out?"

"You put it this way." Vanessa is like a woman trapped in the desert and saw an oasis that is not a mirage, "It seems to be the case!"

At this time, the big screen at the scene played the highlights of the first half.

In the first half against the Timberwolves, Wei Xia played 16 minutes and scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists. Several wonderful offenses were edited into the highlights.Especially after that wonderful positional battle broke through the lever and scored, he spat trash on Garnett.

Although Wei Xia has never admitted that he talked trash, if there is a survey of trash talkers in the future, his name will appear in the mouths of anonymous voters with the highest frequency.

"It really is him." Although the situation has been clarified, Vanessa still didn't let Wei Xia take the blame, "Garnett is also really strange, why is he competing with rookies? What can Visa say to make him like that? As far as I know, Visa can't talk trash."

Elaine originally wanted to remind Vanessa to pay attention to Kobe's anger at Wei Xia and "Visa can't talk trash", but after thinking about it, she might as well forget it, she is already a bit like a bad teller, it's better to shut up.

Garnett's uncharacteristic outburst and Kobe's powerful response made the game's trend confusing.

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

Wei Xia discovered the most amazing trait in Garnett. When he broke out, the strength of his teammates also improved.

He never stops yelling and howling, his offense is full of passion and energy, he abandons ineffective jumpers in anger, and every goal is accompanied by swearing chest beats and talking to himself.

His emotions infected the Timberwolves.

He makes his teammates look like blood-licked beasts.The smell of blood will not make them flinch, it will only stimulate the animal nature in their bodies.

33 is better than 28
At halftime, the Timberwolves led the Lakers by 5 points.

In the second half, Wei Xia did not enter the Lakers' starting list.

Jackson decided to give Weisha a rest, and it was Brian Russell who entered the starting lineup.

Zen Master was a little disappointed with Sprewell. He received a salary of tens of millions and played a million value. Considering that he only had 20 minutes of good form per game, the million value had to be discounted by half.

Jackson had nothing to complain about.

He found the people, and all the reinforcements are his opinions. It doesn't work now, it's not the management's problem, it's his problem.

If the Lakers do not achieve satisfactory results this year, he may lose the right to make suggestions on personnel appointments and dismissals.At that time, let alone leading the signings during the offseason, it is estimated that even the power to fire the bus driver will be withdrawn.

This is Dr. Bath's attitude.

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

So Lakers fans saw that Smash Parker, Sprewell, Russell, and even Tony Kukoc played more minutes than Buss'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 returned to his selfless style, doing research on the fiery Szczerbiak as much as possible, and it was much easier to get rid of Russell's defense than Wei Xia's defense.

Russell, who dared to challenge Jordan back then, no longer possessed the bravery he once had. Jackson came to him because he valued his experience and courage that even Jordan was not afraid of.

Szczerbiak hit four three-pointers on Russell's head in half a quarter, and surpassed Garnett to become the Timberwolves' team scoring leader so far.

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 away as phone bills.

Jackson decisively called a timeout, telling Russell to sit down obediently and don't say or do anything.

Then he called out the firefighters from the crowd.

This person can only be Wei Xia.

　Before the fifth chapter started last night, I originally wanted to say that if I can make the second chasing the third, I will pay back the owed chapters today, but the saved manuscripts can’t stand it, so I’d better calm down-add a new chapter today.
