When Duncan meets Garnett.

Since Malone has aged, Duncan has become widely recognized as the league's No. 1 forward, and if there is anyone else who can compete with him, it is Garnett.

No one understands what Popovich thinks, Oxlade-Chamberlain actually started in this important game, and his defensive opponent is Garnett.

All this is only understood by Chamberlain himself, they are the same thin, the same all-round.

"Experience how Kevin plays". That's what Popovich told him.

Because Chamberlain's performance in Cleveland impressed Popovich, it also made Popovich a little interested in developing Chamberlain.

No one denies Garnett's toughness, especially in the 2003-2004 season. The "Wolf King", who was helped by Sam Cassel and Ratlier Spreville, reached the pinnacle of his career.

The game started, and Duncan, who jumped the ball in this game, didn't snatch Garnett, well, in fact, in Garnett's prime, few people could beat him in this regard, and the ball was taken by "Alien" Sam Cassel.

Cassel is also a player who is constantly playing physically, and his control of the pace of the game is difficult for many point guards to achieve. But his "alien" name is not because of this, it is because of ..... He's ugly. Belch....... That doesn't seem to be enough to describe his ugliness!

Cassel slowly grabbed the ball and pushed it to the frontcourt, the sudden steal was useless to this kind of old player, Parker could only do not let him break through, the ball was passed to Garnett by Cassel, Chamberlain was close to the defense like he defended all the inside, he forgot that Garnett at the beginning of his career was actually playing small forward. This is the same as when Chamberlain first came to the United States, and weight has become their biggest constraint on the inside.

However, Garnett's physical fitness is not comparable to Chamberlain, there is no need for many complicated movements, in the face of Chamberlain's defense, the "Wolf King" easily broke through the past, a flowing hook hand, Duncan, who acted as a center when defending, also said that he could not do anything.

Duncan and Garnett are both players who need to be caught to defend, and at the moment when Olovo Kandi (Kwame Brown's previous parallel top) and Garnett wrapped Duncan, Chamberlain jammed Garnett with accurate positioning, and Duncan was released with a standard shot.

Chamberlain, who had just atoneted his credit, faced Garnett again, and this time he carefully let the wolf king take a position. Faced with this rookie who didn't pique his own trash talk, Garnett just ended the offense with a normal shot.

Because Popovich had made arrangements before the game, Oxlade-Chamberlain got the second goal.

In the face of Olovo Candi, Chamberlain's sudden start, most of the attention on Duncan's 98-year-old champion, was deducted by Chamberlain without having time to react in a hurry. This gave Chamberlain a sigh of relief, knowing that this was his first start, the best opportunity he had ever had in a year in the league. You can imagine how much he cherishes this opportunity!

"There is no room for error!" he said to himself in his heart.

The mind can keep things simple. When Chamberlain stabbed Garnett again and was ready to stop him from breaking through, "The Wolf King" chose to pass the ball to Sprewell.

The "madman" at his peak is not something Ginobili can defend, and if it weren't for the "choke incident", this swingman with a rough style of play and excellent defense is likely to have a bright future.

Spreville traveled past Ginobili. Chamberlain, who has never dared to relax in the slightest, quickly pulled back to the outside line by relying on prediction, because Chamberlain appeared too suddenly, and when the "madman's" eyes caught Chamberlain's figure, he could no longer react.

Chamberlain made a meritorious contribution and caused an offensive foul on Sprewell.

However, sometimes it's not a good thing to be too coquettish, and you have to keep a low profile!

Trash talk, small gestures, like "archery on horseback", have always been Garnett's trademarks. Duncan reminded Chamberlain before the game.

When Chamberlain got the ball again, Garnett wrapped around him like an octopus, and the mouth, which was about to touch Chamberlain's face, began to chatter. Chamberlain could only throw the ball to Duncan in frustration, and at the moment of Chamberlain's pass, Garnett seemed to be ready for it, and he made a lightning shot and broke the basketball, which gave people the illusion that Chamberlain was passing the ball to him.

The next game was no longer a game in Chamberlain's opinion, and Garnett's hands were not inseparable from Chamberlain's body, and Chamberlain, who knew that it was impossible to help the team on the offensive end, simply put all his energy into defense.

It was Chamberlain's first start, and like most players, he was unimpressive. He played a total of 22 minutes and only scored 6 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

Spurs lost the game.

After the game, Popovich asked Oxlade-Chamberlain how he felt about Garnett.

"He's tough defensively and he's very well-rounded." Despite the discomfort, Chamberlain answered truthfully.

"He's a good model for you, I'm talking defensively. For most players, being well-rounded is not a plus, you can only choose the same". Popovich pointed to Garnett and said to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain was silent, only nodding his head to indicate that he knew.

After the game, the team did not stop in Minnesota, and they rushed back to San Antonio overnight.

Back at his quarters, Chamberlain hesitated for a long time before opening the system interface in his mind, where there was something he didn't want to touch - "Challenge Legend".

This should also belong to Chamberlain's gain in the All-Star Game, because it was there that he increased his fan value to 100,000, and then got the opportunity to carry out this series of tasks!

"Challenge the Legends: Challenge the top 10 centers in NBA history and complete their missions to get their exclusive abilities, and failure will permanently deduct the chance to get this ability. ”

It's very tempting, which is why Chamberlain has been reluctant to enter the "dream space" again, he is afraid that he will not be able to resist the temptation.

Chamberlain has never made up his mind, there are gains and losses, rebirth allows him to be down-to-earth, but also makes him lose the sharpness of a newborn calf.

Sometimes we have to admit that discrimination and hardship have helped us grow far more than encouragement, for example, at this time Chamberlain rediscovered that sharpness!
