Garnett is 211cm tall, but he has a famously long arm span of 226cm. The pen is www.biquge.info and Wang Zhizhi in front of him is 214cm tall and has an arm span of 224cm, and his long arms are not much inferior.

"Why did the Rocket get such a monster close to Duncan's stature?" Garnett secretly wondered that he was not very familiar with Wang Zhizhi either. "But who does he care? It's not a star, blow him up. ”

However, the conservative Sanders coach still adopted the strategy of playing the Kings before, with Garnett defending and letting the outside open the situation first. This is exactly what the rocket is doing.

In the first offense, Sprewell missed a layup under Maddy's interference, and Yao Ming protected the rebound. Wang Zhizhi pulled to the three-point line and threw a large mid-range shot in half a step, but unfortunately smashed the frame a little harder and missed.

"Yo, Garnett didn't dare to follow him completely, is this a shot that looks down on Wang?" The old soup off the field looked at it and was happy.

Kassel forced Billups and hit a 2-point shot from a pullup jumper. As soon as Billups saw that you dared to break through me, I couldn't show weakness, and immediately made a breakthrough. The layup caused a foul on Cassel, and he scored two points on 2-of-2 free throws.

Wolves hit a few more shots in a row from the outside, but it didn't work well. Garnett had no choice but to go on his own, he broke through Wang Zhizhi with the ball, Yao Ming just stepped forward to fill the position, Garnett immediately hit the ground and passed Johnson behind Yao Ming, who dunked successfully.

Billups missed a three-point shot, Yao Ming pressed Johnson to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, and the dunk also caused Johnson to foul and hit a free throw. Da Yao also grinned at Johnson, as if mocking his opponent for not being able to defend himself.

Garnett was secretly anxious, this Yao Ming grew up too fast. Last year, he was a rookie in the All-Star Game who asked him and Duncan if they wanted to jump ball, and now he has grown into the league's second-best center. Aside from O'Neal, there are really few centers who can compete with him, at least not Johnson. He wanted to go up to defend against Yao Ming by himself, but was held by Wang Zhizhi again.

Johnson strikes again. And the Rockets handed Yao Ming a single, causing Johnson's foul. Yao Ming stands at the free throw line.

Sanders called the first timeout. He set it up and replaced Johnson, who had committed two fouls, with Olovo Kandi. This Nigerian guy is also a well-known figure in the league, but unfortunately he is notorious for parallel imports. In 98, he was once overrated as the "second Olajuwon", and was selected by the Clippers as the champion on draft night, but unfortunately he never played at his peak, but averaged 12+9 per game at his peak. Because of this, it didn't take much effort for Wolves to sign him on a three-year, $16 million contract in the free agent market last year. After all, this young man is tall and strong, and he can't become a star, and it's always enough to be a blue-collar player, right?

Garnett and Olovo Kandi stood side by side menacingly, but their hearts were cold. Wang Zhizhi went down, and the rocket came up Oku.

"Jason, I've been bothered by the number four set-up. Wang may be the most lethal weapon on the offensive end, and it is appropriate for him to pull Garnett away, but Wang's confrontation is very poor, and the defensive end may be taken by Garnett. How about letting Yao and Wang change their guards? ”

"Rudy, in our China there is a word called 'wheel war', that is, several people take turns to deal with one person."

"Okay, you don't have to go on, I know that you still have a word in China called sudden enlightenment."

Tomjanovic knows where the team's weaknesses lie, and several players at the Rockets' No. 4 position have their own strengths, but all have obvious flaws. But Yuanfei also woke him up, what is the advantage of the team? There are enough people available!

Wang Zhizhi and Bosh have a poor confrontation, but it is definitely no problem to fight Garnett for 5 minutes each. Oku moves slowly, but a 10-minute run is certainly physical. Wallace is short, and he'll wait for Garnett to go down. After a round of these people, they will rest well and can go up to play another round.

Now Oku is a new force. As soon as Garnett held the ball with his back, Oku put it on like a brown candy and kept reaching out to harass the ball.

Yuan Fei nodded secretly off the field, he should fight like this! Give Garnett enough personal consumption, as long as Garnett collapses, the Timberwolves have nothing to fear. In the 06-07 season of the previous life, the Rockets suffered 7 defeats in the first round of the playoffs against the Jazz. Yao Ming averaged 4.7 turnovers per game despite scoring a lot under Oku's defense. Oku's assistance defense is mediocre and his frame protection ability is insufficient, but he has a lot of experience in the stalemate consumption of the inside confrontation. Many European players in the United States are judged to be afraid of physical confrontation and have a soft style of play, which is not the case with Oku.

Garnett saw that it was difficult to play, and he also saw all directions, and distributed it to the empty cut Cassel, who made a layup. Despite the loss of points, Oku was satisfied, after all, Garnett, who was voted second in the MVP vote, did not dare to play hard.

On the offensive end, Billups was also much more comfortable, Oku "stuck" and "plugged" Cassel with a solid cover, Chauncy calmly broke through, and in the face of Garnett's supplementary defense and returned to the three-point line, Oku received the ball and hit a three-point shot.

This is also Oku's advantage, although his long-range shooting success rate is not as good as Wang Zhizhi's, he has stronger strength, wider shoulders, and a small range of three-point coordination after blocking and dismantling. Because of his high shots, Cassel couldn't stop his jump shot after switching defenses. And if Garnett had followed, Chauncey would have broken through all the way to the basket.

Garnett was stuck in a quagmire under Oku's grappling, and although the difference between the two sides was not large, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Rockets had the advantage. Maddie Yao Ming has been rested one after another, and Sanders does not dare to replace Garnett to rest, but he is afraid that the point difference will immediately expand to double digits.

At the end of the second quarter, Bosh came on the court, and Garnett finally hit two consecutive games, although he only scored 10 points in the first half. As for the Rockets, Yao Ming is 15+8, and Maddie is 9+5+4. For the immature little giant, it is more than enough to beat O'Neal and Olowokandi.

In the third quarter, Garnett finally got out of the break, and Tang Shuai immediately transferred his troops to Parker Ride Wallace, and the Timberwolves' backup forward Rockets players are also familiar with Madson, who played for the Lakers last year. Wallace saw that his old friend was very kind, and he went up to slam a head-on dunk, which made Madsen panic. Wallace couldn't help but be happy, and thought to himself: I don't know how high my level is higher than you.

Cassel Sr. made a mistake under the constant pressure of the physically fit Parker, and with a violent dunk from Maddie, the difference really widened to double digits. Sanders was busy replacing Garnett, Tang Shuai saw the move, and Oku also appeared.

By the fourth quarter, Garnett, who was gradually running out of fitness, could no longer support the Wolves' defense, and he was less involved on the offensive end, and the team could only gamble on three-point shooting. Fortunately, the three pitchers of Sprewell, Szzambiak and Hojberg (future Bulls head coach) were still competitive, and they all hit three-pointers to extend the life of the Wolves. As the game entered the final two minutes, the Rockets returned with all their main players, and Wolves were only four points behind.

The bloody Garnett gritted his teeth and asked for the ball, forcing Wang Zhizhi's foul. Unfortunately, the number of fouls did not arrive, and it was still Wolves who took the throw-in. Garnett was about to get to the ball again, turning around and throwing a jumper high into the air, but he forgot that the Rockets had a taller giant.

Yao Ming fanned out a big hat, Billups cleverly grabbed the ball and quickly pushed it across the halfcourt, and Maddy shot three points with a wonderful pass, and the ball went in!

Kassel missed a crucial goal, and there were only 50 seconds left in the game, with a difference of seven points. Wolves had no choice but to use foul tactics. The Rockets players made steady free throws, and Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi ended the game with 4 free throws.

At 89:100, the Rockets got off to a good start at home. Garnett was exhausted under the Rockets' wheel battle, and he only scored 17+10 in 45 minutes, while Yao Ming scored 27+18+5, completely dominating the interior.
