NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 73
The Timberwolves had problems starting, but Garnett performed well.

He is very determined on the offensive end and has good efficiency. Whether it is Marion or Stoudemire, it is more difficult to limit him.

Peak Garnett is a powerful All-Star, not bragging.

In addition, Joe Johnson still can't handle Sprewell a bit.

If he still has good strength, he will retire in a fit of anger. Sprewell is really a talent.

And Russell also struggled against the seasoned Russell. The Timberwolves were indeed troublesome for the Suns, and every position was matched.

However, for the Timberwolves, it is also difficult.

Stoudemire and Marion, the peculiar inside partner, have given many teams headaches this season.

Olowokandi couldn't restrain Stoudemire, but after he went down, Mark Madsen was bullied by Marion again.

The Timberwolves really didn't expect that without O'Neill's low-level overlord, the Timberwolves' inside line would be scary.

It stands to reason that Garnett alone can solve the Suns' inside line. They never worry about the flexible inside line. Garnett's defense area is very large.

However, the Suns have Russell, and his elusive passing often causes Garnett to lose sight of one another.

The Timberwolves also need Garnett on the offensive end, and he is just one person.

The Timberwolves have to pay a lot more salary than the Suns this season, but their lineup is actually worse.

"The Suns have too many scoring points, and the Timberwolves' defense has encountered challenges... There is no doubt that the Timberwolves have a strong enough defensive ability, but this season they have not been able to twist into a rope, and they have not had that kind of hard work."

"Russell's assists are almost in double figures in a single quarter. This ability is terrifying."

Kassel can score against Russell's defense, and his organization is also very stable, but he is afraid of comparison in everything. Russell's assist ability makes his efforts become a foil.

In the first quarter, the two teams were actually fighting for offense, and neither could restrain the other.

But when it comes to rotation time, the Suns still have an advantage, and the Timberwolves' bench offensive ability is mediocre.

The last time they won, they did a good job of defending. This time they lost the opportunity. The game entered the rhythm of the Suns. Playing against the Suns is obviously not their area of ​​expertise.

Kevin Martin hit a three-pointer when he came up, which also helped the Suns take the lead.

Things like nemesis are more exaggerated by the media, but players will also read the reports. Although they express their disdain, there will definitely be some comparisons in their hearts.

The confrontation between the two sides on the field became more and more intense.

After the return of the main lineup in the second quarter, the court became more intense and fouls began to increase.

The Suns' players have good physical fitness, and they are prone to fouls if they want to stop them, while the Timberwolves' players have a few bad tempers and like to talk trash.

The three-headed monsters all like to chatter, and Cassel can't stop talking in front of Russell.

But this buddy has no technical content at all, just spouting all kinds of small dirty words.

Russell was a little annoyed, because the opponent didn't care how he fought back.

He simply kept muttering, "Shut up, old guy, you're doomed."

Anyway, it's just talking back and forth, isn't it just talking, who doesn't seem to know.

He plays mainly with cheating, and it won't affect the success rate against spraying.

On the contrary, it was Cassel himself who didn't have so much energy to attack after talking too much.

He is used to protecting the ball and looking for opportunities while talking. He may not know what he said, but the three things of protecting the ball, spraying trash, playing by himself, and finding teammates can only be done at the same time.

Timberwolves can still bite the score in the second quarter, mainly relying on Garnett's touch.

Garnett is tall and has long arms, but his stunt is the pick-and-roll retreat to catch the ball and shoot. If he feels good, it is difficult to limit.

Because he has a high shooting point and has the ability to respond, it would be very dangerous to throw the inside line regardless.

He's so fucking mean, he's always talking trash, and Stoudemire wants to get into a fight.

Stoudemire became more aggressive and prone to fouls. D'Antoni was a little worried, so he and Garnett were slightly staggered for a few minutes, and Varejao went for a while.

Varejao looks naive, but the Brazilian who has been in Europe at a young age is not a good man and a believer. He and Garnett exchanged spats when he came up, and he is very likely to be a thug.

And it doesn't matter if he fouls twice more, the Suns have an inside line on the bench, let alone spraying, it doesn't matter if they start playing.

But Garnett is the king of mouth, he spouted so much that he didn't even foul.

Stoudemire is still too young, and Garnett is already a veteran of the league.

The smell of gunpowder between the two teams has gradually increased, but the Suns have always maintained the lead.

Russell played longer than Cassel this time, and took the opportunity to bully the opponent's fringe backup guard.

The marginal people are fighting hard, and Russell made two fouls. Russell feels that he has learned badly now, and always thinks about free throws.

So when he scored in double figures with assists early, his scoring was also developing insignificantly.

Under the strong performance of Stoudemire and Marion, the Suns entered the halftime with a 7-point advantage.

Stoudemire was overtaken by Garnett because of a foul for a while, and he was still angry when he entered the locker room.

He yelled at Garnett for a few minutes, "He is a piece of crap that cheats the referees. Can he guard me? Nemesis? That's all nonsense. The fans are cheated by him. He doesn't deserve so many All-Star votes. "

Stoudemire was depressed remembering how popular Garnett was.

Joe Johnson, who rarely agrees with Stoudemire this time, has had enough of Sprewell.

The opponent made so many small moves, and the referee didn't call a foul. When he did not perform well, the fans would say that his contract was not worth it, obviously he was a friendly price.

Last season, Joe Johnson was worried that the team's record would not be good and he would not get a big contract. He said that he would renew his contract in advance. In fact, he regretted it a little bit now. As a strong point of the team, his value is also rising.

In this way, the fans still don't like him, and he is also very desperate.

But Marion took it easy, "It's all trivial, we are ahead."

Varejao, who didn't perform well in the first half, was very active in spraying people, and fouled fiercely, returned to his dog-legged appearance in the locker room.

He, along with everyone else, despised the Timberwolves fiercely, and said that he could just leave any dirty work to him.

Battelle couldn't help sighing, no wonder Varejao was much better at the team than him, in addition to his skills, shamelessness is another aspect, he also wanted to echo him, but he was too embarrassed to speak up.

Relatively speaking, the Timberwolves are discussing more formally how to win the game. They have a lot of bad things this season, and they need key victories to inspire people.

However, many things will not be so satisfactory.
