Chapter 285 Garnett Sees Blood
07:30, the first announcement.

Timberwolves: Dean Garnett, Kevin Garnett, Joe Smith, Anthony Peeler, Marbury
Knicks: Big Ben, Dazhi, Zhao Dong, Madman, Billups
The game was broadcast live across the United States by TNT, as well as CCTV.

When they got the starting list, the two live seats were very surprised.

"Haha..." Zhang Lili laughed happily.

"He started directly? Zhao Dong started as a substitute."

Sun Zhenping didn't see it, so he stretched his head anxiously, and when he saw Da Zhi's name, his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, old Nelson is no better than other coaches, he is not Van Gundy, his tactics are very bold, and his employment is also very bold, this should just be a test to get the best results."

Zhang Li laughed and explained.

"That's better than not being able to play in the Bulls!" Sun Zhenping said excitedly.

In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton said with a smile: "Some media now suspect that the Knicks have too many Chinese players and have become half of the Chinese team.

Feilong, Hu, and Wang are the main players of the Chinese men's basketball team that participated in the 98 World Championships. It was this Chinese men's basketball team that defeated the US team twice and won the World Championships. "

Matt smiled and said: "You can tease that this is half of the Chinese team, but you can't doubt their strength. Needless to say, Feilong, Hu is also an important rotation player for the Knicks, and many teams hope to trade him.

Although the current Wang has not performed yet, he is the guy who blocked Admiral David Robinson in the Atlanta Olympics in 96. Don't underestimate him. "

Bill Walton said with a smile: "There is another bigger guy among the Chinese players. We are all familiar with it. He is Yao Min, the main center of Duke University.

Duke University played very well this year. They failed to rush to the championship last year, but they made a comeback this year, and they have great hopes of winning the championship.

March Madness will begin soon, and everyone is looking forward to Yao Min's performance.

As far as I know, all NBA teams now have established draft files for Yao, and they are closely monitoring the performance of this young man in every game.

The main members of Duke already have the strength of the NBA. Except for Yao Min, they should all participate in this year's draft, and the media recognizes that if Yao participates in this year's draft, he will definitely be in the top three. "

Matt said: "The Knicks can't get this big guy. I even think Yao has the potential to become the No. [-] pick. He has the potential to become the cornerstone of a team."

At this time, he came off the bench, and Yang Yi, who was waiting on the sidelines, said to Hu Weidong in surprise: "Brother Hu, you are starting?"

"Yes, it happened that the head coach was experimenting with the new lineup, strengthening the defense and rebounding of the bench lineup, and Fordson entered the bench, so much so that he just caught up." Hu Weidong laughed.

"awesome!"

Yang Yi said excitedly: "Dazhi played very well in the CBA last season. He has no opponents. He will definitely be able to play in the Knicks."

In the corridor, the two teams started to meet.

Zhao Dong looked at the five starters of the Timberwolves and joked, "Do you want to beat us tonight?"

What this said, the five Timberwolves looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't want to win, did they want to lose?
Garnett said cautiously: "Feilong, although you are good at punching, we are playing basketball, so don't mess around."

Zhao Dong said with contempt on his face: "I play cleaner than you."

The guy who stepped on PJ Brown's balls made everyone come out of the closet, and you have the face to say that you are cleaner than me?Garnett said unconvinced: "Where is my playing dirty?"

"Your trash talk is dirty."

Zhao Dong's words nearly drove Garnett to death.

Shet, who got your trash talk dirty?Payton can be pissed off by you, Jordan can be stunned by you, I am afraid that only Larry Bird can go against you, right?

After thinking about it, he dared not speak out, for fear of offending Zhao Dong and being beaten.

"Marbury?" Zhao Dong turned his gun.

"Why?" Marbury said.

"As a New Yorker, come to the Knicks next season, and I'll take you to the championship," Zhao Dong said.

Billups' scalp exploded again, what does the boss want to do, does he want to trade me again?Why do you want to trade me all the time?
"Hey, Feilong, don't take too much!" Garnett shouted angrily.

On the other hand, Marbury's eyes were shining. This sentence moved him so much. What he wanted most was to go back to his hometown team to play. He even wanted to come to the Knicks in his dreams. He hated the ice and snow in Minnesota so much.

Even if he can't return to New York, he will go to three continents within the New York metropolitan area, such as the Nets.

What's more, Garnett signed such a big contract. He may have no chance of getting a top contract in the Timberwolves. If he doesn't leave, he can only sign a middle class. That is definitely not what he is willing to accept. salary.

After teasing Marbury, Zhao Dong laughed, waved his hand, and signaled that it was time for the Timberwolves to play.

In the season of the previous life, Political Commissar Ma took the initiative to apply for a trade. After playing 18 regular season games in the Timberwolves, he went to the Nets, and then he got the nickname of the Lone Wolf, so what about this life?

"Don't listen to him, brother, let us fight together in the Timberwolves for life." Garnett said to Marbury.

Marbury walked towards the exit, and when he was about to leave, he looked back at Zhao Dong.

He really wanted to come to the Knicks, and he knew that Billups, the starting point guard of the Knicks, was average and his position was not secure. As long as Feilong spoke, he would definitely have the opportunity to play at Madison Square Garden.

"Da Zhi, you are facing Garnett today. In addition to offense, you must work hard on defense." After the Timberwolves went out, Zhao Dong urged.

"I see, Brother Dong." Dazhi nodded emphatically,

After sitting on the bench for half a month in the Bulls, he really understood that without defense in the NBA, there is no chance, and offense alone is really not enough.

In the CBA, he scored 35+15 last season. Even if his defense is not very good, he can beat other teams with offense, but not here.

At this time, he really understood Dong Ge's painstaking efforts in training him for the past two years, but unfortunately he wasted two years.

The game starts and the players enter the field.

Da Zhi set foot on the NBA arena for the first time with excitement and nervousness.

"Dazhi, go jump the ball." Zhao Dong shouted.

"Oh."

When he came back to his senses, he immediately ran to the middle circle.

The Timberwolves are Kevin Garnett jumping the ball, and the two confront each other in the middle circle.

As big as looking at Garnett who was like black iron, although he didn't look very strong, he could feel extremely powerful in his body like fine iron.

This is the difference in talent. After nearly two years of NBA-style training, his muscle mass is not as good as that of the opponent. This means that his strength and explosive power are not as good as the opponent, and his confrontation ability is not as good as the opponent.

It must be very difficult to match Garnett today.

In the CCTV live broadcast seat, Zhang Lili said excitedly and worriedly: "Kevin Garnett played 20+10 last season, and his strength is very strong."

"Zhao Dong made this Garnett suffer in his rookie season." Sun Zhenping added.

Zhang Lili nodded and said: "Yes, under the pressure of Zhao Dong, many young players with potential in the league have undergone extra training in the past two seasons.

The media also reported that Garnett has practiced for two consecutive offseasons. This time, the Timberwolves offered him a super-billion-dollar contract to recognize his potential and strength.

Today is as big as the first show, facing such a strong player, you must be careful and strive for a good performance. "

"Rookie, I will take good care of you tonight." Garnett spat trash talk at Dazhi.

It was so big that he opened his mouth and didn't spray back. This is not something he is good at.

At this time, the jump ball started, Garnett popped up to one end, pulled the ball away, and the Timberwolves attacked.

"The Knicks play...man-to-man," Bill Walton yelled.

"Although zone defense is allowed, the time is short. Most teams in the league still play man-to-man. After all, they are used to it." Matt said.

Garnett came to the low position on the left wing, so big that he was on top of the defense. The former arched back continuously and pushed into the paint area. The position was so deep that he couldn't hold it.

At this time, Marbury's ball came down, and when Garnett received the ball, Ben Wallace under the basket immediately came up to help defend.

But Garnett immediately made a sideways hook, so fast that the bullet speed couldn't keep up with Garnett, and the ball missed the cap and went into the basket.

"Rookie, welcome to the NBA."

After succeeding, Garnett shook his cold white teeth, and squirted at Dazhi again.

Zhao Dong next to him laughed, laughing so that Garnett was a little scared, and ran away quickly.

Knicks attack.

"The Timberwolves are also man-to-man."

Billups held the ball and made a tactical gesture at the top of the arc.

Zhao Dong was on the left-wing three-point line, and the opponent was No. [-] pick Joe Smith. After seeing the tactical gesture, he immediately squeezed the opponent away and rushed to the paint.

At the same time, Dazhi in the paint area began to pull out, passing Zhao Dong.

Garnett, who followed Dazhi, wanted to switch to defend Zhao Dong, but Joe Smith followed in, so he had to continue to follow Dazhi.

But he hesitated, turned his head, and was as slow as two steps.

At this time, Billups passed the ball to Da Zhi, who looked at the basket and shot the first ball of his NBA career.

"Empty..."

Zhang Lili stared expectantly at the basketball thrown by Dazhi, and the next moment, he shouted excitedly: "It's hit, Dazhi hit an open mid-range shot. This is his first ball in the NBA. It's a good start..."

"yeah!"

He clenched his fist excitedly.

"As big as it is, come back to defense!"

Zhao Dong's roar sounded.

"not good!"

As far as he saw, Garnett, who was facing him, had already crossed the three-point line, and he quickly followed up.

Marbury went to the basket with the ball and was blocked by Billups. He pulled to the left wing, turned around and passed the ball suddenly, and gave the ball to Garnett who cut into the paint from the right wing.

Garnett, who was unguarded, received the ball. One step later, he swelled up, grabbed the ball with one hand, and smashed the ball into the basket with a bang.

"It was a dunk with no soul."

The dunk was successful, and Garnett was so excited that he spat trash talk at Dazhi who had just caught up.

Dazhi was a little dazed by the spray, and looked back at Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong didn't care about Dazhi, but turned and ran to the front court.

He is not a baby, but an adult athlete who has played professional basketball for three years. He can give opportunities, but when it comes to the court, everything has to be adapted and worked hard.

He could make up for the defense just now, but he didn't. He just wanted to use an opponent like Garnett to hone Da Zhi so that Da Zhi could adapt to the NBA faster and understand the importance of defense better.

"It's very strange. Just now, the dragon has returned to the paint area, but he didn't go down to make up the defense. He watched Garnett make a dunk."

Bill Wharton said in surprise.

On the sidelines, Xiao Fan took a look at Zhao Dong, then turned to Old Nelson and said, "Tang, you said Feilong would make up for Wang Xiefang?"

Old Nelson smiled and said, "I think Feilong has his own intentions."

Xiao Fan was surprised and said, "Flying Dragon uses Garnett as the king's whetstone?"

"Then why not?" Old Nelson said.

In the next moment, Garnett can be said to have exploded on the offensive end.

It was so big that he was replaced in the 8th minute. In these 8 minutes, Garnett made 6 of 4 shots on his head and caused him two fouls. 3 points.

On the offensive end, in addition to the first mid-range shot, he also took three shots and made one goal. A total of 4 of 2 shots and 4 points.

Not to mention defense, on the offensive end, as a center, this hit rate is not enough.

After Dazhi left the field, Zhang Lili commented on his performance, saying: "Dazhi's first show is still passable, all four shots are mid-range shots, and the shooting percentage is 50%, which is not bad.

But as a center, all of them are mid-range shots. "

"It must be because I didn't get used to it. After all, this is the first time I played." Sun Zhenping said.

Nodding, Zhang Lili said: "It is definitely impossible to adapt so quickly, the defensive strength of the NBA is not comparable to that of the CBA.

Then there is another point. These four attacks were all due to tactics. The position where he received the ball was all on the flanks. The offensive tactics he pulled out did not arrange low-post attacks for him.But it should be more active and actively seek low-level opportunities. "

In the second quarter, he didn't get a chance to play, but in the 6th minute of the third quarter, he was sent to the court again.

The Knicks attacked, and Zhao Dong took over the ball and held the ball on the left wing three-point line.

He made a tactical gesture, which is a low-post offensive tactic.

To put it simply, he breaks through the paint with the ball, attracts the opponent's inside defense, allows his inside players to get a chance, and then passes it in.

However, Da Zhi had just joined the Knicks, so he didn't know the Knicks' tactics at all, and couldn't understand his tactical gestures, so he shouted again in Mandarin: "Da Zhi?"

When Dazhi looked over, he made two consecutive gestures.

This means, let Dazhi pull out first, and then come in when he breaks through.

Dazhi hurriedly followed the order and withdrew from the basket to the low position on the right wing, outside the paint area.

At this time, Zhao Dong began to break through.

Take a tentative step, make a tentative breakthrough to the right, and then break through from the left.

Joe Smith was shaken by the tentative step and couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

Zhao Dong took the ball to the waist of the paint area, and Dean Garnett could only come out to defend, leaving the basket to Kevin Garnett.

Kevin Garnett could only quickly enter the basket to supplement the defense, and at this time Dazhi followed the former and entered the paint area.

Zhao Dong made a one-handed throw and made a scalpel-like pass. The ball flew straight past Dean Garnett's head, then passed Kevin Garnett's side under the basket, and flew to Dazhi.

"Behind!"

Startled, Kevin Garnett turned around quickly, but it was too late.

As big as catching the ball, he took advantage of the situation and slammed into Garnett, who was turning around, with a two-handed dunk.

"boom!"

At the same time as the rim was smashed, Kevin Garnett fell down.

"yeah!"

The Knicks fans in the audience gave the cheers to Dazhi.

"asshole!"

It was an absolute humiliation for Garnett to be dunked by a rookie. He quickly got up and stared at Da Zhi fiercely, his eyes glaring fiercely.

"Boy, you have officially taken the position in the Timberwolves. I heard that someone called you the Wolf King this season?" Zhao Dong asked from the side.

Hearing this sentence, Kevin Garnett was startled. He immediately thought of Zhao Dong's nickname in Stony Brook University's Sea Wolves team, Wolf King.

"It's called by the fans and the media, it has nothing to do with me." He quickly explained.

Zhao Dong smiled without a smile, and said: "You can be called the wolf king, but you have to win before I say it, understand?"

Garnett's face twitched, and he complained frantically in his heart, damn Feilong, are you trying to target me?I won't be fooled, fuck his "Wolf King", I won't give you a chance.

He thought of the Jazz, the Jazz is the lifelong enemy of Feilong, Feilong is only under 22 years old, maybe there are still ten years of peak time, going to the Jazz basically means that there is no hope of winning the championship within ten years.

He didn't want to make the Timberwolves the same as the Jazz. After the finals, the Jazz collapsed and the black and white were traded, but the Jazz could only exchange draft picks because no star player was willing to go to the Jazz,

At the CCTV live broadcast, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhenping saw that Dazhi knocked Garnett over, and their faces were full of smiles.

In the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton praised: "Very good coordination tactics, both Wang and Feilong are teammates of the Chinese men's basketball team, and their cooperation is very tacit."

Three minutes later, Zhao Dong held the ball on the left wing to attract double-teams, so much so that he ran on the weak side and pulled to the right bottom corner.

At this time, Zhao Dong suddenly made a cross pass and gave it to Da Zhi.

Garnett was about to return to the paint area, and when he saw this, he quickly returned to the defense, and when he saw that Dazhi got up to make a jumper, he quickly swooped up.

As big as he was getting ready, when he saw Garnett with a fierce face rushing towards him, he quickly ducked down to hide.

This time it broke, Garnett jumped into the air, hit Dazhi's shoulder when he fell, and then fell head-first to the floor.

"Ouch!" Zhang Lili exclaimed.

"It's all right, at most it shouldn't be injured." Sun Zhenping said.

"That's good." Zhang Li said.

The referee stopped the game because Garnett saw blood, hit his head on the floor, and was about to get stitches, so he couldn't play.

The Timberwolves replaced Garnett.

The old Nelson will also be replaced, and has not played since then.

After the fourth quarter, 84:102, the Knicks won by 18 points and won the opening seven consecutive victories.

Zhao Dong scored 42 points and recorded his first triple-double of the season.

Dazhi started the game, played 10 minutes, made 5 of 3 shots and scored 6 points.

During the on-site interview, a media reporter asked: "Feilong, are you satisfied with Wang's performance?"

Zhao Dong said with a smile: "I still agree with the offense, but on the defensive end, he still needs to work harder."

"Wang entered the starting lineup in his first show. Do you think Wang will help the Knicks? Will he continue to start?"

another reporter asked.

"Whether we can start or not is a question for the coaching staff. As for Wang's help to the Knicks, he can enrich our offensive tactics and increase our offensive energy inside." Zhao Dong replied.
