Arenas, two steps away from Kassel, also started almost at the same time, running quickly to the left. But Arenas had only run two steps when he was stopped by Dampot, who was standing there early.

Seeing the success of the block, Kassel immediately took a step forward without hesitation and jumped to shoot.

"Huh!"

Once again, Kassel's three-pointer fell unmistakably into the Minnesota Timberwolves' basket. The successive hits also completely silenced the veterans who had questioned his age.

"Well done, old fellow!" Lamar and the rest of the team began to wave the towel in his hand excitedly.

At this time, Cassel was waving back and forth from bottom to top with his arrogant hands facing away from Arenas, which immediately made the Knicks fans in the Madison Square Garden arena boil.

"The old guy is still so sharp!" Garnett off the court may be the only player on the Timberwolves team who won't be angry at Cassell's behavior, after all, both were the three-headed monsters of the year. If it weren't for the lack of a way this season, the Timberwolves' uniform team wouldn't have put Cassel on the trade list.

Garnett is unmoved, but Arenas, the heart of the Timberwolves on the court, will not remain silent at this time. The madman who once drove Madison crazy was already a little furious.

After receiving Ben Wallace's baseline pass, Arenas rushed straight to the Knicks' position like an arrow from a string.

At this time, Cassel silently retreated under the signal of Coach K, and it became Wade who went to the front.

In the face of Coach K's request, Wade naturally chose to obey. With three or four metres to Arenas, Wade was half-crouched and ready to defend.

Arenas apparently noticed the change on the Knicks' side, but he didn't think it mattered. After all, during his time at the Knicks, he and Wade did not have a very good relationship, although the two had no overt disputes under Lamar's oppression, but the private competition never stopped.

It took Arenas less than two seconds to get past halfway and as soon as he got past midfield, Arenas broke past Prince with a quick cross step.

Facing Wade, who is much younger than Cassell, Arenas did not choose to shoot directly outside the three-point line. Instead, he wisely relied on Blunt's block and blocked Wade's follow.

Then Arenas quickly struck into the three-point line, followed by another swing of right and left to easily break through Mourning's defense.

In the end, in the face of the empty basket, the general took a big step into the air without hesitation, and the trend was a two-handed burst buckle.

"Boom!"

Arenas' dunk stunned all of Madison. A wonderful slam dunk like this was also played in Madison a lot last time, but at that time Arenas was still a big general in the Knicks lineup.

At this time, looking at Arenas wearing the jersey of the Timberwolves, Knicks fans suddenly felt a little regretful, regretting that they should not have been so harsh on Arenas who made mistakes, and regretted that they should not have easily given up this crazy guy in the new season.

Looking at Arenas, who was swinging his fists and roaring, thinking back to the powerful slam dunk just now, Knicks fans felt like a big slap in the face.

At this point, Coach K had to call a timeout to calm the momentum of the Timberwolves players.

To be honest, Coach K never expected Arenas to be a variable before the game, and it can be said that it was Hill, a traitor who betrayed the Knicks, who suddenly broke out, disrupting all his tactics.

At this time, Coach K also boldly made a gambling substitution. He didn't expect Jackson to be replaced with Garnett so soon at this point, so he decided to use a pure small lineup against the Suns.

"Listen, whether it's Ben Wallace or that Blunt on the court right now, it's a defensive interior line with no aggression. Ray Allen's injury last season wasn't quite healed and won't be playing so soon. The Timberwolves' offense right now is focused on Arenas alone. So, wait a minute, let's do it!"

"Wade, when you wait for your defensive Gilbert, remember that you'd rather let him shoot threes from a distance than let him break through easily. ”

"Sean, you focus on Avis's three-point shooting, although that guy doesn't have any other abilities, but the three-point shot is very powerful. ”

"Taysiaan, you get ready to play near the free-throw line and use your height and reach to help Dwyane as much as possible. ”

"Alonzo, I'll leave the inside to you alone!"

"Chauncey, get the rhythm of the game. Remember, for the next two or three rounds, we're going to play with speed! Try to catch the opponent off guard, you know? Okay boys, run for me!"

Coach K quickly spoke his mind, and the Knicks who replaced Anderson and Cassel had become a purely small lineup.

Sure enough, as Coach K expected, Phil Jackson didn't replace Garnett at all, just replaced Ben Wallace with Jason Collins. As a result, the Timberwolves' attack points have not increased, but their defensive strength has decreased a lot.

However, Phil Jackson is also a good woman now, and although the team's starting lineup is strong after the trade, the substitutes are a bit bleak.

Although Glenn Taylor has been rare in generosity this summer, this generosity is only a relative stinginess in previous years, and he is not willing to pay for a substitute again.

When the Minnesota Timberwolves players saw the New York Knicks' lineup, they were all taken aback. No one thought that Coach K would be so risky and would arrange it like this.

Zen master Phil Jackson even touched his trademark sanitary beard, looking puzzled.

Billups dribbled quickly across the frontcourt, while Mourning ran inside and circled the Timberwolves' two bench inside. Taking advantage of Blunt being pulled out of the interior by Prince, Mourning easily received a pass from Billups.

With his back to the muscular man Collins, Mourning habitually shook from side to side, then quickly turned to the left and jumped backwards.

Collins's newborn calf was not afraid of the tiger, and not to be outdone, immediately sealed the past. But Mo Ning's timing was too good, and his bounce ability was very limited, so Mo Ning made an easy shot when he was slowly falling.

"Smack!" The ball that had just left his hand was immediately slapped to the outside of the court by a large palm.

"Oh! My God!"

Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations from the Madison Square Garden Arena.

Just after they saw the Knicks' wonderful cooperation, the basketball was in Mourning's hands. Mourning made a move after using his experience to trick Collins.

Originally, they all thought that when the ball was nine out of ten, Mo Ning was actually blocked. What surprised fans even more was that it was none other than Arenas, who had just made great contributions to the Timberwolves, a Knicks rebel.

"It's too careless!" Seeing the basketball being covered, Mo Ning also felt some self-blame in his heart. After flashing Collins' block, Morning was a little careless, thinking that everything was fine, but he didn't expect Arenas, who had been eyeing him all the time.

Although the Knicks have regarded Arenas as the biggest variable in their hearts, it is only on the offensive end.

On the defensive end, for Arenas, who is one section shorter than himself, Mo Ning still inevitably has a little contempt in his heart.

Now it seems that this guy, who often refers to himself as a super outside line in the league in front of the media, does have the strength to be inferior to Kobe, Maddie and others.

At this time, Arenas, who was receiving praise from his teammates, was secretly frightened: "Fortunately, almost, almost missed." If it weren't for the fact that guy was a little late to avoid Collins' block, the goal would have gone in. ”

It turned out that Arenas was also lucky just now, and he didn't calculate it before he blocked it. If it weren't for the desperate effort he had just now, and Mo Ning was a little careless, this ball would have been difficult to cover.

However, this block also improved Arenas's evaluation of Mourning by a few points - old and strong!

At this time, there were only three seconds left in the offensive time, and Prince, who was serving, was quite troubled at this time. Because his teammates were all stared at, Prince had no choice but to resort to self-defeating tactics and throw the ball high above Mourning's head.

I saw that Mourning and Collins were staring at the ball in the air, and this time, Mourning also stared at Arenas on one side with the rest of his eyes.

"Ahh But Mo Ning relied on his own strength to get stuck in a good position, so he still had to be a little faster.

It was this little advantage that allowed Mourning to touch the basketball first, but Collins and Blunt's hands also sandwiched Mourning in the middle.

"Ahh

"What?" neither Blunt nor Collins thought of Mourning's tactic, and could only watch the basketball get out of their control.

When the two of them landed, Mo Ning jumped up again.

This time, Mo Ning went straight to the sky and mastered the basketball with one hand, and at this time, there was only one second left in the offensive time.

With Mourning's chuckle, the basketball flew straight to the frame!

"Toot!"

Just as the ball in Mourning's hand left his fingers, the red lights around the rebound lit up almost at the same time.

"Bang!" the basketball hits the board.

"Well done!"

Coach K couldn't help but cheer for Mo Ning's punches off the court, the continuous bounce was too fast, too chic, not at all like the performance of an old guy who had been seriously injured.

Although Coach K has seen a lot of All-Star level players in the NCAA and the national team, he thinks that there are few guys like Mourning, at this age, after such an injury, can still have such excellent physical conditions.
