The world's best combo guard

Chapter 272 266 [Kwame Brown's inner monologue]

Frankly speaking, the Minnesota Timberwolves are very strong this season. Although they lost the playoffs again last season, the team did not choose to sit still in the summer that just ended, but actively strengthened.

Cassell left, but Marko Jaric of the Los Angeles Clippers came. As a result, the Timberwolves' new Big Three quickly took shape, Kevin Garnett, Latrell Sprewell and Marko Jaric Rich's combination makes this team look like it has a chance to go further.

Especially since the team hired a new head coach, Dwayne Casey.

Many people feel that this season's Timberwolves will be one of the few teams in the West that can put tremendous pressure on the defending champion.

Especially the wolf king Kevin Garnett who is at the peak of his career, the Lakers still seem to have nothing to do with him. Lamar Odom did surprise everyone last season.

But so what?

Unless Odom makes great strides this season, Kevin Garnett is still the biggest threat inside the Lakers.

Of course, judging from the lineup on paper, it's not that the Lakers have nothing to do with Garnett this season.

If the team's new aid, the former No. [-] pick Kwame Brown, can play a performance worthy of his halo, Kevin Garnett will definitely not feel good.

The reason is simple. Compared with Lamar Odom, Kwame Brown has obvious advantages in terms of athletic ability and physical confrontation.

Of course, this is just an assumption. To be honest, few Lakers fans are willing to believe that Kwame Brown can surprise everyone, because it has been four or five seasons since this guy just entered the league. It has been a long time since a genius talent explosion period has basically passed.

However, it seems that not everyone thinks so. At least the Lakers coaching staff has placed great expectations and trust in Kwame Brown.

In the first game of the new season, Phil Jackson decided to let Kwame Brown start. To be honest, this decision surprised many people.

Li Hao, Kobe Bryant, Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, Kwame Brown.

This is the starting lineup that Phil Jackson sent for the first game of the regular season of the new season after returning to the Lakers.

"Is Phil crazy? Kwame Brown actually started directly?"

"But from the point of view of reputation, Kwame is indeed worthy of starting, but if you look at the actual level, Kwame seems to be a bit too hot. After all, he was almost a regular visitor on the bench for the Wizards last season."

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with Phil doing this, because as long as Lee and Kobe are around, the Lakers don't need Kwame to score. He just needs to do his job well."

When the Lakers' starting lineup for tonight was displayed on the large electronic screen at the scene, Staples fans started talking endlessly.

At this time, the camera was shown to the generals who are doing warm-up activities on the court, especially Kwame Brown. The starting center is definitely a test for him.

If Kwame Brown passes this test successfully, then from now on, he will also be one of the city's darlings. On the contrary, if his performance is not satisfactory, then the city may not be able to tolerate him after all. .

.........

The game finally started. When the referee blew the start of the game, the entire Staples Center was completely boiling, because the Lakers fans sitting here knew very well that from this moment on, the Purple and Gold Corps' impact The journey of the second three consecutive championships in this century has officially begun.

The camera showed Li Hao, Kobe Bryant, Butler, and even Phil Jackson and other purple and gold members. The determination on everyone's faces at this moment made the boiling voice of Staples further enhanced.

Haohao Zijin officially set off from this moment!
Kwame Brown has an advantage in rebounding with Kevin Garnett, and his length is one of his strengths.

The basketball came to the hands of the Lakers No. [-], and the Lakers No. [-] immediately started to advance with the ball.

A side pick-and-roll, Kobe took the ball and chose a mid-range fadeaway jumper.

brush!
Almost no one would doubt that the ball will go into the basket steadily, because this is Peter Pan's desperation.

Remarkably, some Staples Center fans even stood up in excitement when Peter Pan hit the fadeaway jumper.

Because this is not only the first shot the Lakers hit in the new season, but also the first shot Peter Pan made after changing to the No. 24 jersey.

Kobe has publicly explained why he changed to the No. 24 jersey, so, as his supporters, Zijin fans naturally witnessed the start of his new milestone with thunderous applause.

Turning around, Kevin Garnett's shot also hit.

After wandering around the top of the arc with the ball for a long time this time, Li Hao found that there were no good shooting options, and even Kobe had a hard time receiving the ball this round.

So what to do?
Inadvertently, Li Hao saw Kwame Brown running back and forth under the basket.

Of course Li Hao knew why Kwame Brown ran so hard, because he also had this performance when he first came to the Lakers.

That is, I hope that I can perform well in my first show with the Lakers, and I also hope that my enthusiasm can be seen by my teammates.

Li Hao seemed to see himself two years ago in the figure of Kwame Brown.

So, he decided to give the ball to Kwame Brown.

"Kwame"

Li Hao yelled at Kwame Brown, and then threw the ball towards the basket with a high throw.

And in this lesson, Kwame Brown, who was in the basket with Kevin Garnett, quickly jumped up.

To be honest, he has been waiting for this lesson for a long time.

"Oh!"

Kwame Brown beamed like a child when he made his first field goal with an alley-oop at Staples Center.

For him, this moment is really not easy.

"Haha, the alley-oop from No. [-] of the Lakers and Kwame Brown, what a perfect fit"

The arena is boiling, and from the perspective of the fans, they want to see this kind of picture.

"Thanks buddy"

On the way back to defense, Kwame Brown said to Li Hao.

It was the Lakers' offense again. This time Kwame Brown also made a shot. Although it was not an alley-oop, the consecutive hits have made many people feel incredible.

In my impression, this does not seem to be the performance that the "parallel import champion" in other people's population should have, but it is the level that a real champion should have.

And this time it was another Kobe in the Zijin Gemini who sent an assist for Kwame Brown.

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson lingered on Li Hao, Kobe Bryant and Kwame Brown for a long time, and he seemed to understand something.
