Even Kevin Garnett, who was opposite, almost stood up and cheered for Mourning.

Mourning's performance has made Garnett a little unable to sit still, and at this time he feels his blood boiling, and he can't wait to get on the court and have a good fight with the Knicks' group of interior players.

The Knicks relied on Mourning's miraculous performance to close the gap to three points. However, no one expected that the horn of the Knicks' counterattack had just sounded.

Riding Arenas and Wade in a grappling, Billups suddenly stepped forward to wrap up, and then knocked the basketball out of Arenas's hand and passed it straight to Wade, who was about to go.

Wade scored a fast-break dunk.

Campbell offensive foul.

Prince hit a three-pointer and the New York Knicks managed to overtake the score.

After Wade blocked Arenas' dunk, a through ball gave the ball to the fast Billups, who scored two points on a layup.

Looking at the demoralized substitutes on the court, Phil Jackson was a little helpless and could only call a 20-second timeout. 、

After the timeout, the Minnesota Timberwolves brought on Garnett, Ray Allen and Ben Wallace.

And the New York Knicks also fielded Salmons, Dampoter and Lamar.

Arenas misses a shot from beyond the three-point line, and Darm Porter grabs the rebound.

Billups misses the shot, and Dampoter makes a second attack.

Garnett scored on a small hook inside and drew a foul on Dampoter, hitting 2+1.

Lamar pulled out his hand from beyond the three-point line, and the basketball stumbled and fell into the basket.

Lamar took advantage of Ben Wallace's lack of a steal, and Billups scored an easy layup.

Ray Allen forced a shot against Wade outside the three-point line, but was caught by Wade and rewarded with a big hat. Billups received the ball and immediately drove straight to the basket.

Seeing that the team was completely suppressed by the Knicks on the court, Jackson had to call a timeout again.

In just two minutes, the Timberwolves have been hit by the Knicks with a 13-3 attack wave, which is also rare in the history of the NBA.

At this time, the Timberwolves were no longer as good as the Knicks in terms of momentum and spirit.

The fans at the scene were naturally thunderous with joy. Watching the team take the lead, they felt that winning this game was no longer a problem.

Although Coach K was very excited in his heart, he didn't have too many emotional expressions on his face, and he was still arranging his tactics as usual.

But it's not the same with a rookie like Nelson, who laughs loudly with Lamar and the others, and the excitement speaks for itself.

After the timeout, both sides returned to the court.

At this time, both teams fielded their strongest lineups. On the Suns' side are center Ben Wallace, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Campbell, shooting guard Ray Allen, and point guard Gilbert Arenas. This combination can be said to be full of firepower, both inside and outside.

On the Knicks' side, center Dampoter, power forward Lamar, small forward Battier, scoring guard Wade, and point guard Billups. This combination is also both offensive and defensive, and the tacit understanding is full.

Even the on-site commentator, former NBA superstar "Villain" Bill Wharton, a loyal and staunch Lamar fan, said that the two teams are now equal in terms of strength, and the competition is perseverance and courage.

The facts on the field quickly validated Bill Walton's commentary.

For the rest of the second quarter, both sides played at their level, but the Knicks' starters were clearly more compatible.

At the end of the second quarter, the Knicks overtook the Timberwolves with a total score of 60-45, and the fifteen-point difference also made the Knicks breathe a sigh of relief and feel very satisfied.

Lamar was undoubtedly the brightest star of the second quarter and the Knicks' main weapon on the offensive back.

Lamar, who had recovered in this quarter, scored 19 points alone, more than half of the team's scores.

The time of the half-time passed quickly.

After the crucial third quarter began, both the Knicks and the Timberwolves appeared to be more defense-oriented. Defensively alone, with the addition of Ben Wallace and the tutelage of Jackson, the Timberwolves are doing much better.

Although the Knicks also have last season's defensive No. 1 team Dampoter on the roster, as well as Lamar and Billups in the second team. But in terms of performance, the Timberwolves, who were behind by a big score, looked even crazier.

Relying on almost frantic defense, the Timberwolves managed to close the gap to six points after five minutes of play in the third quarter.

Seeing this, Coach K also had to call a timeout and make personnel adjustments. Wade and Battier were replaced, and more physical Salmons and Prince were replaced.

Unexpectedly, this substitution actually had a miraculous effect, and it was with two consecutive three-pointers from Lamar and Prince that the Knicks once again easily extended the score to 12 points.

The third quarter ended with a back-and-forth offense from both sides.

At 80:67, the Knicks still led the Timberwolves by as many as 13 points. By this time, Lamar had scored a game-high 28 points.

On the Timberwolves side, Arenas scored 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Kevin Garnett scored 17 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, and Ray Allen scored 19 points with three points.

Madison's fans felt as if victory was not very far away, and the roar of cheering was rising higher and higher. The hot cheerleaders at the scene were also dancing wildly to cheer for the Knicks.

It was in this atmosphere that the fourth quarter of the game began.

At this time, the Timberwolves once again made an arrangement that surprised many people in terms of personnel.

Garnett, Campbell, Relaren, Arenas, Miller, a large and four small lineup. Although the interior line is relatively weakened, in rebounding, neither Garnett nor Campbell is inferior. And such a lineup is more prominent in the ability to break through and on the outside.

On the other hand, the Knicks have no difference in lineup from the third quarter, and it seems that the Timberwolves have a slight upper hand in the lineup.

Sure enough, as soon as the game started, Billups missed a shot due to Andre Miller's interference.

Campbell grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a fast break.

The basketball went straight from the backcourt to the hands of Ray Allen in the front court at the first time.

And Ray Allen also showed his killer nature at this time, quickly retreating after a cross step, easily widening the distance with Battier and then quickly shooting three points.

"Huh!"

"Beautiful!"

Lamar looked at Ray Allen's dashing three-point fight, and couldn't help but secretly shout yes. It is rare to see such an excited gentleman's sword, and it can be seen that this gentle gentleman was also stimulated by the battle between Lamar and Arenas just now, and refused to let the two of them be beautiful.

Although Lamar admired Ray Allen's elegant step-back three points just now, it was not Lamar's style to be provoked by his opponent like this, if he did not respond.

"Give me the ball!" Lamar gestured to Billups.

Billups was stunned for a moment, knowing that the basketball was not yet halfway through the court, but he still quickly passed the ball to Lamar's hand

Lamar looked at the position of the Minnesota Timberwolves, looked at Garnett, who was waiting for him, smiled coldly, and pulled out the butcher's knife that the Knicks had been in the dust for a long time.

Lamar's expression didn't seem to have changed, he was still smiling, but as long as you looked closely, you would see how cold Lamar's smile was at this time.

The cold expression also seemed to have affected Lamar's movements somewhat, and Lamar at this time, whether it was an ordinary hand-changing dribble or a simple horizontal breakthrough, was no longer as sharp as he was just now.

Soon, Lamar was in front of Garnett, who challenged him.

Both Lamar and Garnett seemed to stop their movements at this point.

Lamar only has Garnett in his eyes, and the wolf king only has Lamar in his eyes.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, the two of them stared at each other for three seconds.

“my god！”

An elderly man sitting in the front row, because he couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere of the court, was about to have a heart attack, and he couldn't help but touch his chest.

At this time, Lamar also sounded the horn of attack

"It's moving, it's moving!"

Lamar moved with the ball, and the basketball quickly crossed under the crotch, and the speed was really dazzling.

That's right, Lamar just wants Garnett to show him what he's capable of.

Obviously, although Garnett is comprehensive, he can't do such a gorgeous streetball move as Lamar.

Lamar's provocative behavior obviously succeeded in provoking the wrath of the wolf king, and also made Garnett's originally airtight defense leaky.

In a flash of light, Lamar seized the opportunity and figured out what he was going to do. After all, although there are many streetball moves, there are too few that can humiliate the opponent without breaking the rules.

I saw Lamar glance at the time, there were still thirteen seconds left, more than enough time.

Lamar lowered his center of gravity and dribbled quickly, and Garnett's reaction was not slow, and he also cautiously lowered his center of gravity and watched Lamar's next move.

Lamar snorted softly, with a sneer on his face, and held the ball in one hand in his right hand and reached for Garnett's right side.

Garnett immediately turned, but he didn't see Lamar's wrist jerk as he put his hand behind him.

"False moves?"

Garnett turned around and didn't see the ball, and was immediately taken aback, instantly understanding Lamar's thoughts. In an instant, the wolf king felt a blow on the back of his head.

Lamar received this pass like a spinning marker and threw the ball directly at the back of Garnett's head.

Garnett felt deeply ashamed at this time in addition to grief and indignation!

Although Garnett is not a basketball player from the street, he has played in professional basketball for so many years, and he also has a lot of friends who play streetball, such as Ralph Alston, Jamal Tinsri, etc., of course, when it comes to talking about this, we have to mention the wolf king's comrade-in-arms Marbury, the lone wolf, he is a streetball master. So Garnett naturally knows a lot about American street basketball culture. 2k reading web
