Chapter 348 Vampire Bat
时间：2005年6月19日晚上21:00。

Location: Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.

Background: In the first four games of the finals, the two sides tied 2-2. In the crucial battle of Tianwangshan, Kevin Garnett was absent due to injury, and the Timberwolves' life was hanging by a thread.

When Bai Jidong appeared on the court wearing Garnett's No. 21, the enthusiasm of the Target Center was ignited.

Bai Jidong tried his best to warm up his body, he rubbed his palms, not wanting to let his body cool down in the slightest.

"Minnesota's lack of KG is a big blow to Minnesota's morale, and they have to get used to the absence of KG," Smith said.

Barkley said: "It's hard. For a long time, KG has been Minnesota's anchor. As long as KG is still there, Minnesota is a wolf who chooses and eats. The wolf style of taking a piece of the opponent's meat."

In order to maintain the speed of the lineup, Toni Kukoc was put in the fourth position.

Olowokandi is still the fifth position, and he has a great responsibility tonight.

Without Garnett, he is the last gate for the Timberwolves.

Those tasks that Garnett usually undertakes will be carried by him tonight.

Olowokandi was grinning, as if he didn't know what he was carrying.

When jumping the ball, Olowokandi still had the upper hand, he rushed the ball to Bai Weidong's hand ahead of Big Ben.

Bai Weidong took a look, and caught Olowokandi's ball, "Good shot!"

"White Wolf, I'll leave it to you." Olowokandi strode forward.

Bai Jidong's attack came faster than expected.

Prince dealt with Bai Jidong according to the defensive method of the previous four games.

Bai Jidong used practical actions to let him know how unacceptable such a defense is.

Prince's defense was smashed by Bai Weidong's breakthrough, and he didn't know how to deal with Bai Weidong's breakthrough at all.

Afterwards, Bai Weidong stepped back to the free throw line and made a jumper and scored.

The cheers at the Target Center exploded like thunder, and the volume was no worse than the fans of the Palace of Auburn Hills.

Billups fingered the corner and passed the ball to Rasheed Wallace.

The problem is, Wallace is not in the corner, and Billups' gesture is intriguing.

The appearance of Hamilton was an epiphany, and it turned out that it was a hint that Hamilton would cut out from there.

The defense that Hamilton encountered was of high quality, and Battier was able to deal with an off-ball master like Hamilton very well.

What Battier is afraid of is the kind of super scorer who sticks to it and doesn't work.

Hamilton's scoring method is exactly what Battier is best at dealing with. Battier can't get rid of off-ball running, and the tactics have to continue.

Hammill broke through with the ball in the face of Battier, and barely got rid of Wallace with the pick-and-roll of Roaring Tianzun.

Mask Man rushed to the basket with the determination to score, and the appearance of Olowokandi greatly reduced his confidence.

This is an opportunity, and even with a seven-footer standing in front of him, Hamilton has to make a move.

His layup was interfered by Olowokandi, missed the backboard where it should have been, and slid out of the basket.

"It's not over yet!"

Olowokandi was too happy, Rasheed Wallace took the board off his head, burst from behind him, and dunked the basket with both hands.

This is Olowokandi's mistake. He always misses the most important people for various inexplicable reasons.

Roaring Tianzun gave a loud roar, shocking everyone.

In this situation, Garnett off the court was so angry that he wanted to go up and replace Olowokandi.

Looking at the ankle that was difficult to move, Garnett could only sigh helplessly, trying to keep himself calm.

Olowokandi's error did not attract scolding.

Bai Jidong said to him: "Just now it was done well."

"I" Olowokandi is also a face-saving person, knowing that Wallace grabbed the offensive rebound because of his carelessness just now.

"If you can concentrate a little more, I believe you can do better." Olowokandi's distraction made Bai Jidong very angry, but he knew that he couldn't scold Olowokandi.

This is a man who can't be scolded. At this juncture, the Timberwolves need a clear-headed Olowokandi.

Hearing Bai Jidong's words, Olowokandi nodded heavily.

Bai Jidong controls the ball, which is very different from the previous games.

Most of the time, as long as Hardaway is on the court, it is Hardaway who controls the ball.

Bai Jidong will serve as the command tower for positional warfare, and Hardaway will be the one who initiates the attack.

It's changed now, Bai Jidong serves as the attack launch point and command tower at the same time, while Hardaway uses his experience to take advantage of loopholes everywhere.

Billups felt that Hardaway's defense was good enough, and Hardaway told him with iron facts, "It's not good enough!"

Hardaway cuts from the baseline, Billups is about to follow, Olowokandi's body blocks him head-on.

Hardaway ran into the basket and got a wide open.

Bai Weidong bent down, hit the ground, precisely passed the two Pistons players, and dodged Big Ben who was trying to steal, and just passed the ball into Hardaway's hands.

Hardaway looked back at the basket, jumped with both feet, and the explosive force was soft, but he was just able to reach the basket to complete a slam dunk.

"This ball is really brilliant! (Don't ask me what foreigners can sing poetry)" Smith sighed: "White Wolf's passing skills are very good."

"I am optimistic that LBJ's future organization will be better than the White Wolf, but the current White Wolf is undoubtedly the leader among the organization forwards." Barkley said.

Smith said: "Except for a master guard like Steve Nash, the White Wolf is not inferior to other top guards in active service."

Prince panted, imitating Ginobili's way, to screen, and then cut to the basket from the baseline.

Olowokandi dominates here, but Prince can't get it, so he takes second place and catches the ball from the low post on the right.

Bai Jidong leaned forward, "You finally want to resist? I thought you were a doormat, you only get angry."

Prince is also one of the five Pistons. Although he is the youngest, he is also the leader of the Pistons in the future. How can he bear this kind of anger?

Prince pushes hard, trying to push Bai Jidong away.

Bai Jidong slapped Prince's ball with a slap.

Prince flying out of bounds and saving the ball was his only saving grace in this offense.

Prince slaps the ball high into the air and Billups catches it.

Billups lowered his center of gravity and made a breakthrough on the left.

Hardaway's consciousness is very good, his body can't keep up, and he is squeezed away by Billups.

Bai Jidong made up quickly, and Billups didn't expect Bai Jidong's defense to change so quickly.

"It's exactly the same feeling as Garnett on the court." Unlike Garnett, Bai Weidong's speed is faster.

Billups made a throw with Bai Jidong on his shoulders and barely scored.

Although he scored a goal, Bai Jidong's defense broke out in a cold sweat.

Bai Jidong turned around to catch the serve, revealing the number 21 behind him.

This jersey didn't seem to fit well. After all, Garnett was [-] feet [-] inches tall, and it looked too big for Bai Jidong.

Bai Weidong took the ball to the frontcourt, and seeing that everyone was at the free throw line and the center line was empty, he began to think about the basket.

Bai Jidong lowered his center of gravity and forced a breakthrough. This kind of breakthrough does not require any skills, it depends on whether your body is strong enough.

If it is enough, it will be run over; if it is not enough, it will be pushed back.

Bai Jidong has been in the gym for ten years, and now he has developed one of the strongest physiques among active perimeter players in the NBA.

Prince's slender limbs and quick movement are all his advantages.

Facing Bai Jidong's savage breakthrough, the little prince felt helpless, feeling like he was being run over by Bai Jidong's tank body like a bicycle.

Bai Jidong's speed was too fast, Big Ben and Roaring Tianzun were in the paint, but they didn't have time to defend.

Bai Jidong bumped into Prince and flew to the layup, wiping the board and scoring.

He landed under the rim, stepped on the paint line, looked back at Prince, and said, "Get used to it in advance. I'll do it a million times tonight."

"What did you say!" Prince's eyes were about to stare.

Rasheed Wallace stepped up and punched Kukoc on the back.

Kukoc is the biggest hole on the Timberwolves field, and his defensive problems are bigger than Hardaway.

For the sake of speed, the Timberwolves gave up this point of defense.

The roaring Tianzun's back hit made Kukoc completely unable to resist, and the crushing of the body cannot be compensated by consciousness or technology.

If the body is strong enough, back hitting will be easy.

What's more terrible is that while Wallace is physically strong enough, he also has excellent skills.

Kukoc was extremely helpless: "Damn it, how do we prevent this?"

Roaring Tianzun turned around and slipped the bottom line, completely stuck Kukoc behind him.

There is no need to say much about the following things, roaring Tianzun scored a layup, raised his arms and roared.

"Tony, our principle is that we would rather let him go to the basket than let him slip to the bottom line." Bai Jidong said.

Kukoc said helplessly, "I know, but it's not easy."

"It is precisely because it is not easy that you are asked to do this." Bai Jidong said: "Push it up a little bit more, let him get stronger, and Olo will help you defend."

"I did my best," Kukoc said.

Kukoc's old age is old, slow is slow, soft is soft, and his experience is still enough.

Kukoc's pick-and-roll created a very good open opportunity for Battier, and Bai Weidong passed the ball.

Just as Battier was about to make a shot, Hamilton stuck in front of him.

Battier is not a shooter who can shoot against defenses. Once there is defensive pressure, his shooting percentage will plummet.

"Bang!" Sure enough, he didn't enter.Big Ben took the rebound and pushed Billups back. Bai Jidong stood in front of Billups and entangled him in death.

Billups couldn't get away, and could only dribble the ball across the half court with a single eye.

Billups didn't want to confront Bai Jidong head-on, so he called Big Ben's pick-and-roll so that others could switch to his side.

Bai Jidong was like a vampire bat, after sucking Billups' blood, he went to suck others.

After one round, he defended three or four people in a row.

Bai Jidong's unlimited defenses made the Pistons' outside offensive turnaround difficult, and finally Hamilton's mid-range shot came to an end.

"Is this guy trying to prove that his defense is no worse than mine?" Garnett opened his mouth wide in surprise. Bai Jidong's presence on the defensive end was no different from when he was on the court.
