Chapter 425 The White Devil

Garnett opened the front row, dribbled into the paint from the weak side, and missed Brad Miller's one-handed throw.

Olowokandi picked off the board strongly, and he is rarely so strong.

Kenny Thomascan dwarfs behind Olowokandi, and Olowokandi turns over to hook and hits.

"Against such a short guy, Olo's hit rate is still guaranteed." Bai Jidong laughed.

Olowokandi was very excited: "Boss, give me more balls and see how I teach these bastards a lesson!"

"Who do you call an asshole?" Kenny Thomas asked coldly.

"Please don't take your seats, you bastard."

Following Bai Jidong and Garnett for a few years, Olowokandi's trash talk has improved significantly.

The man with the ball is Artest.

Bai Jidong stood at the top of the arc and waited for him to come over, "Ron, have you noticed? Our side has a better chance of winning."

"I found a lot of interesting things, but this one didn't." Artest had no intention of attacking, just made a transition point and dribbled the ball across half court, and then passed the ball to Mike Bibby.

Bibby cuts out, quickly throws off Hardaway, makes an emergency stop for a jumper, and misses.

Thomas wants to compete for offensive rebounds. Because of his limited height, although he is in a good position, it is difficult to receive rebounds.

Thomas picked up the rebound to keep the ownership of the rebound in suspense.

The Timberwolves, who have an absolute advantage in height, are determined to get the rebound, and when the ball falls, they grab it directly.

Hardaway dribbled the ball alone, and Bibby stood quietly, waiting for Hardaway to come over, and then spread his hands, judging the situation.

There is rarely a player that Hardaway can't see through, and Bibby is such a person.He doesn't talk much, he's more introverted, he doesn't like to communicate, he's one of Bai Jidong's counterpoint blacklists.

Only one type of people can enter Bai Jidong's blacklist, and that is people who don't like chatting.

If you put Bai Jidong against a person who can't chat, it will be more uncomfortable than killing him.

Considering how much he loves to talk, you know how important chat is to him.

Bai Jidong made a V-shaped move, rushed out from the right, and Hardaway passed the ball.

Bai Weidong's defense attracted another double-team. The moment he caught the ball, Bai Weidong's right hand didn't stop at all, and he passed the ball to Battier not far away.

After receiving the ball, Battier made a layup and scored 2 points easily.

Such cooperation made the target center applaud continuously.

Artest took the initiative to admit his mistake: "Damn, I should guard that guy, this time it's my fault!"

"It's all right, Ron," Bibby said deadpan.

As long as his emotions don't get out of control, Artest is still a good teammate in essence.

"The game is on the right track. The matchup between White Wolf and Ron is very exciting. There are back and forth. This kind of matchup is what the fans are happy to see." Mike Breen said.

Marv Albert laughed and said: "It seems that these two people are really as the rumors say, and they have a good personal relationship. I observed their match-up, and they talked frequently, but neither party got angry."

"This is what we want to see, friends in private, opponents on the court." Breen said.

Mike Bibby was light and indifferent, as if he had no plans.

Jordan once commented on him like this: "He is very quiet on the court, playing silently, you never pay special attention to him. After the game is over, look at the data, and you are surprised to find that he has scored so many points in front of you."

This sentence can sum up Bibby's style of play, which is quiet and murderous.

The white devil's expression is as calm as Duncan's, and you can't detect his emotions at any time.

Hardaway's defense let go a bit, and Bibby immediately made him pay.

Outside the three-point line, Bibby made an emergency stop for a jumper, and a chasing three-pointer flew high towards where his finger was pointing.

Penny looked back and saw that the arc of the shot was perfect, rising high and dropping to the rim.

"Don't underestimate him, this is the guy who fought with Peak OK to the last second of the seventh match." Bai Jidong reminded Penny.

Penny said: "I know, this guy is too quiet and easy to be looked down upon."

"A dog that bites does not bark, the more dangerous things are quieter, be careful;" Bai Jidong repeatedly warned.

In the low post in the frontcourt, Garnett got stuck in Brad Miller's position.

Bai Jidong raised the ball and threw it over. Garnett held the ball, because the position was deep enough, he just had to hit it hard, and then turned sideways and made a small hook.

Miller's single defense is very good, with tough confrontation and quick response.

Garnett's hook was interfered and missed. Thomas protected the backcourt rebound and threw it directly to the White Devil.

The White Devil advanced swiftly, if it wasn't for Timberwolves having such a defensive monster like Bai Jidong, the counterattack would definitely be successful.

Bibby settled down and waited for the others to take their places.

It was rare for Bai Jidong to face Bibi, and he said involuntarily: "Now is not the same as it was then, you have no chance."

Bibby looked at him coldly, but still didn't speak.

Miller finally ran upfield, picked and rolled Bibby, and then pulled back to the high post.

Bibby involved the Timberwolves' defense and passed the ball backwards. Miller took the ball in a high position, shot directly, and the ball scored.

This is the characteristic of Miller, who focuses on high positions and uses shooting as his main scoring method.The mid-range shot is quite good, and the mid-range and long-range shots in front of the basket are particularly accurate, often forcing the opposing center to follow up and empty the penalty area.

"Damn! I didn't see him!" Garnett blamed himself.

Bai Jidong thought deeply, "Maybe it's a better choice to go to Wayne now." "Maybe." Garnett sighed.

Olowokandi is too tall and slow.

The king's starting lineup is only Miller, a long man, and Kenny Thomas is an insider with the height of a small forward, so there is nothing to fear.

If Simien is replaced, the Timberwolves still have the advantage in height and faster speed.

Sanders also discovered this situation, so he asked Simien to warm up, and he will replace Olowokandi when the ball is dead next time.

This is a countermeasure that varies from person to person. Olowokandi is destined to not have much playing time tonight.

Bai Jidong's heart moved, and while there was still time, he wanted to help Olowokandi make some balls.

"Olo!" Bai Jidong shouted.

Olowokandi ran forward, blocked by Bai Jidong, and immediately cut down.

Bai Jidong broke through on the left side, attracting Miller's assistance, and threw the ball upwards with his right hand. Olowokandi took off in the middle, like a giant beast picking up its prey, and dunked aggressively with both hands.

Hardaway stepped up his guard against Bibby. Bibby didn't have a chance to snipe like he did just now, so he passed the ball to Bunch Wells.

Although Wells is not a star player, he is also one of the many outliers in the NBA.

He's a horrible mix offensively.The shooting feels stiff, the shooting rate is very unstable, no three-point ability, strong breakthrough ability with the ball, great impact on the inside, and good back-to-basket skills, speed, and explosive power at the basket.

Battier's defense is very clear, let him shoot, not to breakthrough.

If Wells wanted to increase his success rate, he had to break through.

Battier knows this well and keeps him out of range.

Wells was in a hurry, made a reckless move, and shot a two-pointer that was almost a three-pointer away from stepping on the line.

His teammates retreated quickly and no one expected him to score.

Sure enough, the ball didn't even touch the basket, it just passed by the basket and fell into Bai Jidong's palm.

Artest yelled, "Bunch, you're in such a hurry!"

Wells knew that there was a problem with his choice, so he said yes repeatedly.

Bai Jidong counterattacked with a dribble, "Hurry up! Run faster!"

Although Artest's defense can't restrain Bai Jidong's performance, it is no problem to prevent him from counterattacking.

"Don't even think about it! I won't let you in!" Artest predicted that Bai Jidong would not be able to get rid of him easily.

"Cut!" Bai Jidong snorted, dribbled the ball with heavy shoulders, accelerated and then slowed down, and then changed the line in a straight line.

Bai Jidong knew that Artest's speed was not as good as his own, so he had no choice but to break through in front of him like this.

Miller took a good position ahead of time to block Bai Jidong.

Bai Jidong looked at Battier, jumped up with the ball in his hands.

Everyone thought he was going to pass the ball, and the King's defense expanded and contracted orderly without incident.

No one would have guessed that it was just a fake eye movement of Bai Jidong, and his real intention was to play the ball for Olowokandi.

Everyone's attention was on Battier on the outside line, but Bai Jidong held the ball in both hands and threw it to Olowokandi skillfully.

"Fuck!" Olowokandi yelled at the United States, facing Miller's body violently, and directly dunked on Miller's head.

The White Devil ran quickly, Miller reacted quickly, and directly took the ball and made a long pass.

Miller didn't hesitate to catch the ball and quickly passed it to Bunch Wells.

Wells rushed to the basket like a lunatic, and Battier knew he couldn't prevent it, but he still chased forward.

Wells' impact was powerful, and Battier kept up, but it was difficult to stop him from jumping.

Wells trampled on Battier's defense, like an out-of-control Spanish bull, pierced the matador's body with its horns, jumped to the top with popular steps, and resounded like a thunderbolt, dunking heavily.

Battier was helpless, if he didn't stop in time, he might have to pay another foul.

"Beautiful! Saramento has shown their attitude. They will never let Minnesota slaughter them. They are here to win."

"Attitude is very important," Breen said. "If the weaker side loses momentum at the beginning, it will be difficult to play."

"That's right, you can't lose if you lose, and you can't lose momentum!" Albert said.

Sanders called a short timeout: "After the cooperation just now, you are a little relaxed and your nerves are tense. This is not the regular season. We are playing in the playoffs. Listen well, you can't relax for a second before the end of the game. .”

"Wayne, you replace Olo." Sanders continued: "We need to speed up the pace, Saramento wants to run, we can run with them, this is their advantage, and it is also our advantage, look Whoever has the greater advantage, guys, win this game in one go!"

"YES!"

　I don’t know how many people still remember Bibby, but Bibby is definitely one of the indispensable characters in the magnificent Kings team. Every time I look back on the seven games between the Kings and the OK Lakers, Bibby’s performance at critical moments is really impressive. Unforgettable.Especially in the tiebreaker, they scored 12 points in the fourth quarter and dragged the game into overtime, but it was a pity that they fell short in the end. PS: Webber is a total softie at critical moments, at least in this round, arguably the most important series of his career, a softie, the undisputed kind.
