Chapter Eighty-Eight: Bloody Eyes, Rewarding Every Day, Swinging Not Much All Booksellers
On May 20, after a difficult game, the Timberwolves eliminated the Kings 83-80 and entered the Western Conference Finals, and Garnett's pursuit of the championship continued. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, it also marks the end of the final glory of the king! Chris Webb's injury has made the "Princeton Tactic" magical!
On May 21, Billups kept Kidd clean, and the Nets finally held the iron hooves of the Pistons without resisting, ending their playoff journey with a total score of 3:4, and the Nets will be waiting for the same fate as the Kings. Kidd, who had a lot of luck, finally strangled his peak moment with his own hands.
In this way, all four teams that won the right to the division finals were produced, the Spurs vs. the Timberwolves, and the Pistons vs. the Pacers!
These important games in the NBA did not make Chamberlain much cleaner. Eliminated the Lakers and eliminated O'Neal, and the Spurs have become the league's biggest favorites to win the championship. And in this series, Chamberlain, who was able to restrain or even suppress O'Neill in two crucial games, was recognized as the best performer!
F4, O'Neal, no matter which title you use, can have enough appeal to fans. Rookies, thin people, and no guaranteed salaries are all extremely booing topics! In this era of the decline of the center, Chamberlain's sudden appearance is like a clear stream, nourishing people's thirst for the center. It's not an era of the center, but it's also the era when the center is the easiest to come out on! People want to fight, and the league needs to fight!
In the past few days of waiting for the Timberwolves to win the battle against the Kings, despite all the things that have happened, it has not taken Chamberlain's fighting spirit down much. Over the past year, from a rookie to the present, he has always lost the bad habits of a real otaku, learned to be strong, and learned to face setbacks calmly and the tortuous road.
In the past few days, in addition to practicing his hook hands assiduously, Chamberlain has evaded the media's encirclement and interception, and he did not even dare to go back to his rented house! So, after O'Neill, the fight, and the generals did not get along, the media finally had a new title -- "The Super Rookie Didn't Return All Night, and the Haunted Hotel Was Suspected to Be ******* Chamberlain looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle and was speechless! Rina Asada is back!
Rina came in a hurry, and the next day she hurried away. They don't have a holiday until June, and she seems to have a subject to it, and Chamberlain doesn't have time to ask carefully!
In the days from May 17th to May 23rd, Chamberlain's real time spent on training was only two days, and in these two days, Chamberlain's grinding gun was not harvested in the end, but the soft feel given by the excellent mid-range shot made the hit rate of the day hook not too tragic!
Through these two days of training, Chamberlain summed up that when no one was defending, his shooting rate was around 84%, and the shooting rate was about 51%, so Chamberlain had to face a serious problem - how to get as many shooting opportunities as possible on the field!
The start time of the Spurs' game against the Timberwolves is 9 p.m. local time on May 23.
Although before the game, the media repeatedly expressed their pessimism about the Timberwolves, Timberwolves fans used their actual actions to explain what it is. Before the competition even started, the target center was already overcrowded.
Fans of different genders and ages stood in the crowded audience wearing the No. 21 jersey of the "Wolf King", or wearing the mask of his roar in the sky, or wearing bright oil paint, holding the logo of the Timberwolves team, waiting to cheer for their heroes.
The big screen at home also began to change the camera constantly - Garnett's "riding and archery", Garnett's slam dunk, Garnett's block, Garnett's ...... Here, Garnett, like all his successful predecessors, has achieved the ultimate in being a player, less than a championship ring.
It's been the best year for Garnett, and it's the closest he's got to his dreams. The sad "wolf king" finally saw the winding road to the throne, as his faithful believers, his people, how could they miss the footage of their king ascending the throne?
Yes, it is to ascend the throne, no matter what the outside world says, the fans at home are convinced that their "king" is the greatest one in the world!
In the anxious anticipation of the fans, players from both sides began to appear!
The Spurs' "Twin Towers", which were hyped by the media before the game, did not play together as they expected. Replacing Chamberlain is the Spurs' orthodox main center - Nesterovich.
In fact, this is the reason why Spurs owners are reluctant to give Chamberlain a bigger contract, although Chamberlain's reluctance to stay at Spurs is not mainly due to dissatisfaction with salary.
Just how good Nesterovic really is can only be known by comparing himself to his opponent in this match!
Who is the Timberwolves' main center? That's a former No. 1 pick, a highly-anticipated "next Olajuwon", his name is Michael Olovokandi!
Olowocandi's emergence was "revolutionary", and what was more shocking about Olowocandi's than the veteran parallel traders Jim Barnes and Lauru Martin was that he used the sparse to explain the quality of the champion. So far, he has averaged only 8.3 points and 6.8 rebounds in 26 minutes per game in his career, and as an interior player, he has shot only 43.5%.
Any game between the Spurs and the Timberwolves is the focus of media attention, not to mention that this is the Western Conference Finals. Starting with the jump ball, countless cameras focused the lens on the court.
In the first quarter of the game, the scene was far more scorching than one might have imagined. Olovokandi showed his physicality comparable to Olajuwon in the jump ball, and the ball was picked up by Sam Kassel.
Mutual explosion is the main theme of the confrontation between the "Wolf King" and the "Stone Buddha", and in the face of Garnett's "Horse Archery", a powerful Duncan can only shake his head and sigh!
Sam Cassel's super control of the tempo on the court has completely restrained Parker more than Payton. The "madman" at the peak of his life also made Turkoglu helpless. Bowen, well, he can ignore when attacking. Just like Oxlade-Chamberlain in the last game, Nesterovic stepped up at such times. His soft touch despises Olovocandi's rough goods again and again, and he can only use his body's defense!
