Lamar knows that Garnett's trash talk is a must in the league, but he is definitely no worse than him in this regard. So Lamar didn't hesitate to shoot back: "Do you want me to be as stupid as you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lamar suddenly stopped and turned around. At the same time, Hilario's pass arrived.

After receiving the ball, Lamar jumped up without the slightest pause, and threw the ball while his body was still moving sideways in the air.

"Huh!"

Three-pointer scored, 7:0!

The opening game played the Minnesota Timberwolves 7-0, which was indeed somewhat unexpected. The New York fans at the scene were naturally happy, perhaps in their opinion, the victory of this game was already nine out of ten.

But the Minnesota Timberwolves are not a weak team after all, on the contrary, they are very strong, and having three old Jianghu in charge makes their team a little more calm.

Sanders walked to the sidelines and pressed down with his hands, signaling his players to control the tempo of the attack. Cassel nodded silently, he had recovered from the strong stimulation that Lamar had given him just now, and arrived in front of the court with the ball in an orderly manner.

The players who were already in position immediately moved, and Ratliff shook his long arms to block Lamar in a wrong step, while Sprewell and Cassel also began to move towards the bottom corner, and Garnett stood near the free throw line with his back to Hilario.

The Minnesota Timberwolves' counterattack is about to begin!

After the inside line was emptied, the basketball was passed to the hands of the wolf king Garnett.

The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly stunned, although the fans cursed Garnett quite loudly just now, but it is impossible for anyone to ignore Garnett's power on the basketball court. Fans craned their necks to see what their interior pillar Hilario would look like when he went head-to-head with Garnett.

Lamar also looked at it with worried eyes, and silently prayed for the Brazilian in his heart: Nein! I gave you the opportunity, it depends on whether you can grasp it! Even if you lose, you have to bite off a piece of meat from the other party!

Garnett held the ball in both hands, leaned back, and shook his shoulders from side to side twice, testing Hilario. Despite his pride, Garnett also has to admit that Hilario is definitely a tough opponent.

Despite his build, Hilario is not slow to move at all, and his athletic talent is even better than his. If it had been a few years ago, Garnett might not have taken this threat seriously, but after all, time has not forgived people, and now all he can rely on is a wealth of experience and skill.

After the temptation, Garnett found that Hilario was unmoved. So Garnett immediately chose to play with his back to him, hunched over and dribbled the ball one by one, and his body gradually approached the basket.

Feeling close to his range, Garnett held the ball up a little in both hands, then suddenly turned around and wanted to go straight to the basket. But Hilario was not fooled at all, and still stood motionless behind him with his arms held high, as if he was waiting for him to come to the door.

Seeing this, Garnett quickly changed his strategy, bent over and pushed the ball to the bottom corner of the left three-point line for Sprewell. Sprewell understood it, suddenly activated, dribbled the basketball against Battier, continued small broken steps, followed by a wide range of lateral turns, and after shaking off Battier's defense, he hit a jump.

"Well done!"

"Good pass!"

Garnett and Sprewell high-fived each other, although the three-headed monster has not been fighting for a long time, only a short year, but the three of them have already cultivated enough tacit understanding. With just one look at each other, you can understand what each other means, and it can be said that the reorganization that other teams will take a long time to complete, the Minnesota Timberwolves have completed it in just a short time.

The Knicks attacked, and under Van Gundy's instructions, Billups significantly quickened the pace of the offense. After a couple of short passes, the ball was handed to Hilario, who played with his back to the point where Ratliff felt he had already put it up, and the Brazilian pressed down with both hands on a back-to-back pass to hand the ball to Salmons on the left.

The latter received the ball and scored a layup on the inside and drew a foul on Theolatliff.

Add a penalty hit, and the score of the two sides has become 10:2!

Seeing that his team was successfully suppressed by the opponent, Sanders quickly called a timeout. Replacing Ratliffe with Jarric put Garnett in the center forward position, the team played small-ball tactics.

Jarric's attacking ability is average, but he is a very good perimeter defender and has a good playmaker.

Sanders' change of formation paid off immediately, as Jaric came on and successfully opened up the Knicks' defense, giving Garnett more room to attack inside. Coupled with the fact that Jaric's presence freed up Kassel's offensive power, Sanders' substitution successfully disrupted the Knicks' outside defensive formation.

Sprewell and Cassel fired back-to-back shots, and just two minutes after the game restarted, the Minnesota Timberwolves closed the gap to two points.

Van Gundy saw that the team was playing a little passively, so he could only reluctantly call a timeout, and then replaced Salmons with Arenas. Although Arenas' defensive ability and height are not as good as Salmons', his offensive ability is superior to that of the opponent, and he fights fiercely after coming on the court.

With Arenas going to fight Kassel specifically, I believe that most of Kassel's energy can be involved, and it definitely makes Kassel dare not give up defense and attack with all his might.

The game restarted, and the Knicks' offensive chances, the basketball passed several times to Lamar's hands. After scoring a frantic eight points in the opening game, Lamar was suddenly dumbfounded.

With Kevin Garnett's octopus-like close-quarters defense, Lamar barely got the shots he wanted. If it's just Garnett, the point is that even if Lamar breaks through Garnett to the inside, he will have to face a more difficult Ratliff. The gibbon's capping ability is also a must in the Alliance!

"That's the end of your performance! How about a bet? You're never going to score more than 30 points in this game. Garnett kept squeezing Lamar out of the three-point line, while still spewing trash talk to stimulate Lamar.

Lamar was unmoved, he was no longer the hairy kid who had just joined the alliance. If it had been placed at the moment when he had just been reborn, Lamar, whose mind was not yet completely stable, would have already launched a furious attack. But now it's different, even if he can't score, he has a lot of good teammates around him, and he just needs to be in charge of the whole picture.

Lamar smiled at this, suddenly shook his body to the left, followed the ball to his left hand, and leaned sideways to slap the ball to the ground with one hand before Garnett pounced.

Pass!

Arenas cut in from somewhere, received a pass, and a pull-up jumper caught Cassel off guard

18:14。

The Knicks once again established a two-goal lead.

"Smack!"

Martin and Lamar high-fived, and the tacit understanding between the two of them was no worse than that of the three-headed monster on the Minnesota Timberwolves' side. Playing together for three seasons, they have long developed enough fit

When it was the Minnesota Timberwolves' turn to attack, Jaric put the ball directly into Garnett's hands on the inside. Garnett received the ball and leaned towards Hilario and then turned and jumped. This is Garnett's forte, the wolf king is tall and has long arms, plus there is a slight leaning back when shooting, so that the opponent is unguardable.

The Knicks attacked again, Lamar passed straight to the basket, Billups ran back along the baseline, missed the backhand layup after receiving the ball, and Hilario grabbed the frontcourt rebound and dunked.

When it came to the Minnesota Timberwolves again, the ball was still in Garnett's hands, and it could be seen that the Minnesota Timberwolves wanted to focus on Garnett.

Garnett is still the same old routine, and after a back-to-back single, he suddenly turns around and shoots backwards. Although Hilario reacted quickly, there was still nothing he could do but watch the basketball go into the net.

"Hell, can't he change his move?" Hilario slammed the ball on the ground in frustration.

Lamar glanced at Hilario and said expressionlessly: "Then it depends on whether you can force him to use another trick." ”

The Knicks' offense was still in Lamar's hands, and the rest of the team quickly started to move. This Kombat tactic was successfully practiced when Van Gundy borrowed from Preston's tactics, in which every player is the point of attack, which can easily catch opponents off guard.

"Huh!"

This time it was Billups who scored. After receiving a pass from Hilario on the outside, he hit a three-pointer straight away. The Knicks' lead became five points.

The Minnesota Timberwolves still insisted on playing Garnett, and everyone else pulled up to pull the Knicks' defense out of the gap and create a single opportunity for Garnett.

'Garnett seemed to be in very good form today, hitting five goals in a row. This is only the first quarter, and if he continues at this point, he will likely score more than 40 points today!"

The long-lost CCTV ace commentator Mr. Zhang Lili reappeared in the world.

"But if it's just a single point of Garnett, I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee his physical strength. After all, the years are not forgiving, he is also nearly 30 years old, and what he needs most now is that the other two giants of the Minnesota Timberwolves can take the initiative to step up and share the offensive pressure for him. In short, the tactics of the Minnesota Timberwolves right now are quite unreasonable!"
