NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Chapter 33 What is Dangdang Dangdang

The Timberwolves established their team in 1989, less than ten years ago.

Last season, they reached the playoffs for the first time under the leadership of head coach Philip Sanders. This season, with the growth of the twin stars Garnett and Marbury, many people are optimistic that they can play in Go further in the playoffs.

Combe is obviously not the group of people who are optimistic about the Timberwolves.

He is very clear that as long as this Timberwolves have Marbury for one day, it is impossible to pass the first round of the playoffs.

There is a type of point guard who is really bluffing just by looking at the data. He averaged 20 points and 10 assists per game, which is a normal performance.

But it just can't help the team win.

The Raptors' original control mouse is counted as one, and now the Timberwolves' control Marbury also counts as one.

To be honest, Marbury is even more outrageous than Little Flying Squirrel.

Flying Squirrel has averaged 40.6% field goal percentage in the regular season throughout his career, which is considered very low, but his playoffs are roughly the same level, with a field goal percentage of 39.6%.

The old horse's 43.3% shooting rate in the regular season is considered average among the point guard group, but the shooting rate dropped sharply to 35.5% in the playoffs.

Perhaps in the entire history of the NBA, no one or any player can make such a disparity.

It is equivalent to saying that as long as the old horse is put on the defensive strength, he will be cool immediately.

What's more terrible is that his defense is still very eye-catching, and his defensive efficiency is almost at the same level as Nash.

It's not that Kong Bu deliberately black horse political commissar, but his strength is really not good.

However, the old horse is still young at the moment, and the problems on the defensive end have not been fully exposed, so many experts are very optimistic about him. After all, there are not many point guards who can play 16+8 data in their rookie season.

The game on the field has begun.

Big Ben and Camby played against Garnett plus Gugliota.

Gugliotta is a player of the same class as O'Neal, Mourning and Jones. In the super big year of the insider draft in 92, he should be regarded as the strongest insider besides O'Neal and Mourning.

The Timberwolves twin towers formed by him and Garnett are a bit weird at first glance, because neither of them can play the center position.

After Garnett's later generations joined the Green Kai, he played center for a period of time, but that was also a helpless move. At this time, Garnett was a purebred power forward.

At least in Comb's view, Garnett is a standard power forward template.

Duncan is a center in the skin of a power forward, and Nowitzki is a shooting guard in the skin of a power forward.

And Gugliota is also a purebred power forward, and he can't play center.

However, because the offensive firepower of these two people is sufficient, their combination of twin towers is very powerful.

At the beginning of the game, Marbury controlled the ball in the backcourt, probably not paying attention to Snow, and played tricks when he got to Snow's side.

As a result, Snow took out the ball.

Kong Bu had a lot of fun watching it directly. Lao Ma really didn't use bean buns as dry food.

After getting the attribute viewer, Kongbu must have looked at Snow's attributes, and the result was better than what Kongbu expected.

The shooting ability value is very poor, almost at the same level as Camby.

However, the perimeter defense attribute reached 87 points, the ball possession attribute reached 82 points, and the assist attribute reached 81 points.

Looking at it this way, I really feel a little like Kidd. The style is almost exactly the same as Kidd, except that Kidd's three-pointers are much better than Snow.

What is certain is that even though Snow is now in the third grade, he has not yet reached the peak of his personal ability, and there is still room for improvement.

With his current strength, in fact, most teams in the league have the strength to start.

It's a pity that he is in the Supersonics. The head coach is a master who likes to shoot. With a historical point guard like Payton and a locker room boss like McMillan on his head, it is impossible to get ahead.

Kong Bu was overjoyed, this time he definitely found a treasure.

He originally thought of using Snow to transition to the period when Billups was introduced. Who would have imagined that Snow seemed to be able to support the sky alone.

With an 87-point perimeter defense, it is more than enough to clean up an old horse.

This is not because Kumbu is blindly confident in his players, but that the old horse really can't stand this kind of defensive stubble.

Under normal circumstances, Snow should have started to rise after joining the 98ers in the 99-76 season. In his first five games against the old horse, he defended the old horse with 15 of 5, 17 of 5, and 23 of 8. The data of 17 out of 6 is simply cruel.

After succeeding in the steal, Snow steadily controlled the ball and pushed forward, completely denying Marbury a chance to get back on the court.

Wu Sheng received the pass, but after breaking through, he failed to make a throw and the rebound was also grabbed by Garnett.

Turning his head, Garnett completed a big mid-range shot on Camby's head, beat his chest and feet excitedly, and roared loudly.

Looking at his posture, those who didn't know thought he made the game-winning shot and led the team to win the championship.

In the next few minutes, Garnett succeeded one after another, and Combe quickly called a timeout.

He has found that the starting lineup he has arranged is a big problem against the Timberwolves.

There are five starters on the field, Ben and Camby are the blue-collar insiders, and Snow is the blue-collar outsider, which means that only the second and third positions are left to attack.

Marbury on the Timberwolves side was completely locked up by Snow, but the twin towers of Garnett and Gugliota were a bit difficult to deal with.

Camby or Ben, in one-on-one situations, can't guard Garnett at all. This is the biggest problem.

If there is a zone defense, the Guglio tower on the side will be leaked, and the offensive threat will be even worse.

Garnett has been criticized, not because of his strength. In fact, his personal ability has almost no black spots, and his performance will not shrink at all when he encounters tough defensive players.

For example, the current three towers of the Raptors.

Under normal circumstances, Garnett can maintain a [-]% shooting rate in all matches against Ben or Camby, and he has more rebounds than his opponent.

If you beat Xiao Ao, it's even more of a problem.

Even if you take away the four years when Jermaine was buried in the snow, and the game records of the years when he was injured in the later period, Jermaine met Garnett in his peak period and was hammered.

Taking advantage of the timeout, Kumbu replaced Camby and replaced him with Ole.

He also knew that Olympiad would probably not be Garnett's opponent, but he couldn't help it. Putting three blue-collar players on the field made the Raptors lack of offensive firepower.

Xiao Ao's playing can at least improve the Raptors' inside offensive ability.

There was nothing wrong with Kumbu's arrangement, but after the game restarted, the problem still broke out.

I don't know if it's because he played too well in the first three games, which made Xiao Ao a little swollen.

Or trying to prove he's a better high school power forward than Garnett.

After his debut, Ao has been crazily playing singles against Garnett, regardless of whether his teammates are open or not, as long as he has the ball in his hand, he will immediately shoot regardless.

Even Big Ben grabbed an offensive rebound, but Xiao Ao stretched out his hand to take the ball.

After playing for less than 4 minutes, Kumbu called a timeout again and replaced Jermaine Ao.

He beckoned to Xiao Ao who was coming off the stage, and asked him to sit beside him.

"Jermaine, do you know what Dangdang is?"

Xiao Ao looked confused, "What is Dangdang Dangdang?"

"Dangdangdangdangdang is..."

"You made the sound of iron striking just now!"

Combe sighed.

In less than 4 minutes, Xiao Ao hit five irons. If it were a coach with a bad temper like Larry Brown, I am afraid that he would have to start jumping and cursing now.
