Chapter 1175
"That's a matter for the team management and all I can say is that James made a mistake and he shouldn't have left his team-mates early anyway. This is something that cannot be forgiven, and I hope that he will do something positive in the future and reintegrate into the team!"
"What is the truth of the matter, and why did you have a disagreement?" the reporters continued to chase after each other.
Garnett's face became darker and darker, and at this time, Phil Jackson suddenly took over the microphone: "Kevin has explained this matter very clearly, it's just that there are differences between the two sides about the game." I'm also very disappointed that James Posey is acting irrationally, he shouldn't have been, at least he shouldn't have left early when the team was in trouble!
Phil Jackson, as the team's head coach, has come forward to close the coffin, and it is difficult for reporters to continue to dwell on this issue.
Then the reporters aimed at Lamar, who won the best game of the game: "Lamar! The first game was won, and it was a big victory, what are your goals in the next game? Do you continue to sweep the opponent? According to relevant statistics, since the playoffs last season, the Knicks have never lost in the playoffs, and now the position has won 29 consecutive games, so will you continue this record in the future?"
This reporter is very smart, and when interviewing Lamar, he first touted Lamar with the Knicks' real record, hoping that in this way, Lamar would be carried away by the achievements and could speak freely.
Lamar didn't expect the Knicks to set another NBA record under his leadership, but Lamar was not carried away by the achievement. Although he doesn't care about anything, let alone the Timberwolves' turf, there are some things that can't be said on such an occasion.
"I want to face a strong team like the Minnesota Timberwolves, and no team is sure to sweep. They're strong! They have a lot of talented talents! All I can say is that every game we're going to try to win and end this series as soon as possible!"
Although it is not explicitly stated, looking at Lamar's confident appearance, people can still imagine that Lamar is ready to sweep his opponent again!
Of course, Garnett will never agree with Lamar's words, and the two of them can still maintain a tacit understanding to cover up together, but for the championship and the O'Brien Cup, Garnett will definitely not give an inch.
'We're going to equalise on aggregate at home! and then we're going to do everything we can to finish the season away from home. We've been fighting for a season and now we just want to finish the season as soon as possible and get some rest!"
"You mean the Timberwolves still have a chance?" a reporter asked a stupid question.
"Of course! We have the same chances as the Knicks. And I believe the Timberwolves have the edge. We were just a little surprised and of course luck didn't come to us, so I think everything will be different in the next game and it won't be difficult for us to win!"
Seeing that the two people gradually had signs of colliding again, the reporters at the scene were all excited, and questions began to be thrown one after another, hoping to make the gunpowder between the two superstars stronger and stronger.
After the press conference, all the reporters present made enough money. Of course, what interests them the most is not Lamar and Garnett's choking each other, but how the Timberwolves will deal with James Posey, who left the game in the middle of the game.
As one of the best outside defenders in the NBA today, James Posey also attracted a lot of attention when he joined the Minnesota Timberwolves on a $3.6 million one-year contract (a total of four years) this summer, and even many media said that the Timberwolves made a lot of money!
Now that the time has just passed, the news of his feud with the team's boss Garnett broke out, and people immediately became excited.
If the relationship between James Posey and Garnett is really frozen, it is James Posey who suffers the most. After all, according to the strength of James Posey, and the current demand for outside defensive players in the league, a full middle class is the minimum.
Since James Posey joined the Timberwolves, his training attitude is not serious, his game attitude is negative, in short, there are some news that is not favorable to him, and now he is retiring halfway because of a disagreement with his boss Garnett.
Apparently James Posey has become a negative textbook for NBA players, and his trade value has been greatly reduced. And with Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor's stingy performance in the past, it is absolutely impossible for him to spend money to buy out James Posey's contract.
It's hard for the Minnesota Timberwolves to do it too!
Now the team's best strength in the small forward position is James Posey, although Campbell is carrying a big contract, but he has actually entered a retirement state, and he only plays more than ten minutes per game.
If the Timberwolves do block James Posey, then there will be no one available at the small forward position. And paying such a high salary every day to support an idler, the stingy Glenn Taylor would never agree.
Now even if you want to deal with James Posey at a low price, it is impossible to do so, after all, the trade deadline has long passed, and you can only wait until the offseason if you want to trade. But now the Timberwolves have reached the most critical moment, and time waits for no one!
For the sake of James Posey's affairs, Phil Jackson, an old fox, thinks of countermeasures every day with a sad face.
James Posey seemed to be indifferent after the news came out, he figured it out, anyway, his contract is not big, and if he doesn't keep his grandfather here, there must be a place to keep his master! He believes that with his current strength, there is still no shortage of teams to pursue.
"He said it was just a small disagreement? It's ridiculous! When did the wolf king learn to panic? I don't think I was wrong about this! I didn't have to stay at all when I was disqualified. And I've seen enough of Garnett's bastard face, I don't want to play next to that guy who always likes to point fingers, our contradictions are irreconcilable!"
'It's been his fault from start to finish, I don't have any problem! I love the city, I love the team, but if they really can't tolerate me, I can go. But if you want me to stay, there's only one person between me and that bastard Garnett!"
When James Posey's words came out, people's first reaction was that he was crazy!
As for the importance of the relationship between James Posey and Garnett, anyone with a little bit of brains can know. The Timberwolves can do without James Posey, but they definitely can't do without Garnett, the symbol of the city.
Originally, I just wanted to catch some big news, but no one expected this news to be so big. Infighting with the Timberwolves is inevitable, and it now looks like it's not entirely impossible for the Knicks to sweep the Timberwolves.
A team with internal and external troubles, even if they have more stars, it will not help.
Although Garnett is still very confident in the game, it is obviously not enough to have confidence on the stage of the finals, the key is to rely on strength. Strength speaks for itself, and this is a constant truth on the basketball court.
The Timberwolves, who are struggling both internally and externally, want to prove their strength in Game 2, and the efforts of Garnett alone cannot change their embarrassing situation.
In the second game, the two sides continued to play hard in the opening stages, and the first half of the game almost turned into a show for Lamar and Garnett.
Lamar blasted Ben Wallace to the ground on the offensive end and sent Big Ben off the pitch at half-time to end the game early.
Garnett also broke Dampoter's fishing net on the other end, forcing Anderson to graduate with six fouls in the final minute of the first half, and Dampoter's four fouls to reflect on off the court.
By the time of the second half, the situation on the pitch had changed dramatically.
The Knicks relied on Wade's super performance to crush the entire outside line of the Timberwolves.
When the Flash and the Junzi Sword met, the Flash, who had better physical fitness inside and outside, obviously had an absolute advantage.
In the third quarter alone, Wade scored 19 points on a shot from inside and outside, and the number of fouls on both Campbell and Ray Allen increased to four.
Next, Coach K once again showed off his strength in front of Phil Jackson. Salmons and Cassel came on the court and formed a three-point attack point on the inside and outside with Lamar.
In the face of the Knicks' near-cheating three-point offense, the Timberwolves looked struggling. Without James Posey's outside barrier, even if Garnett is strong in maneuvering, he can't stop the Knicks' three-point attack wave alone.
By the end of the third quarter, the New York Knicks had extended their advantage to 13 points, and the game seemed to be over early.
But in the fourth quarter of the game, Garnett and Ray Allen, who were unwilling to lose, went completely berserk, and the two started to block and dismantle. Relying on this abrupt tactic, Ray Allen took advantage of Kevin Garnett's containment to hit four three-pointers in a row from the outside, and the New York Knicks were powerless.
Relying on Ray Allen's three points, the score gap between the two teams was also narrowed to five points.
Then the Knicks rebel Arenas began to exert his power, and in the face of Chauncey Billups' defense, the general showed a good show of what it means to be afraid of a fist.
In just two minutes, General Arenas actually stole Billups and Wade in a row, and assisted Garnett to counterattack while dunking himself.
Relying on this wave of counterattacks, the Timberwolves successfully narrowed the score gap to only one point, and the situation seemed to be deflected to the side of the Timberwolves.
Seeing that the Huskies began to exert their might, Coach K once again offered a foul tactic. 2k reading web
