Chapter 259: What a miserable Garnett
"Kobe, why didn't you ignore me just now!" Garnett looked puzzled.
"Don't talk to me, do I know you well."
Garnett felt that his youth had been abandoned.
Damn it! Since you don't recognize brotherhood, then don't blame me for being ruthless!
Garnett straightened his defensive stance and sank his weight. As the wolf king who claims to be able to defend from the No. 1 position to the No. 5 position in the future, Garnett's lateral speed is far beyond the average big forward, even if he has a height of 2.16 meters, his figure gives people the feeling of being strong! And not clumsy.
The second-year wolf king, maybe he still has a great deal of skill and strength. The speed is no worse than the peak. And the speed of lateral movement is undoubtedly the key to defending defenders.
Kobe Bryant dribbles back and forth at the LOGO, and this ball, for Harris, must be played tough!
Dribble fast and slow!
Sudden burst acceleration!
Garnett sank his center of gravity, and after his double~ legs were crossed, the defensive range was extremely amazing.
With his emaciated but explosive hands waving around, his defense is enough to block 90% of the league's guards!
However, Kobe Bryant is precisely the strongest 1% in the league!
Kobe Bryant spends up! Garnett Slide!
Bryant took advantage of the advantage of starting first and took a half-step lead.
For Kobe, half a body position means that the breakthrough is complete.
Pause!
Accelerate again!
Master of rhythm changes, Kobe Bryant erased Garnett.
Step up, take off.
Bryant scored on a pick-and-roll.
"What is this?" Marbury was a little surprised, and in training, his success rate in trying to break through Garnett was not high. Now the league's defenders are more about using pure speed.
There are too few players like Kobe Bryant who use rhythm changes to break through! But it won't be long...... When that man joins the MLS, everything will be very different.
In the first quarter, the Lakers steadily pressed the Timberwolves and slammed it, or Kobe Bryant bullied Garnett.
Whenever Garnett holds the ball high in the field! Kobe Bryant is always the first to rush forward to pack the clip! Garnett's current vision of the court is not very good, and he always looks a little flustered when he is caught in the bag.
"Why? Why do you want to wrap me like this? I'm just a player who averages 18 points per game. "Garnett felt the feeling of being targeted for the first time with the Lakers.
Harris on the sidelines smiled slightly, and everything was silent.
"Smack!" The ball is broken!
"Huh!" Finish!
"Whoa!" Shake it up!
This is the result of Garnett's crazy targeting from the Lakers in the first quarter, although he has been selected as an All-Star, but the current ability of the little wolf king is not at all to the extent that he can crack the Lakers' defensive system.
Big Ben unicorn arm!
Garnett was put out of the box!
The result of receiving the ball outside the penalty area is to be trapped! Signature moves, iron-blooded tough guys, youth jumpers, can't be used.
"Whew, whew." Garnett gasped, very incomprehensible why the Lakers players, who were still playing together with the All-Stars, were now targeting him like this.
Marbury looked at Garnett distressedly, it was so miserable, it was so miserable.
From the first game against the Lakers, Marbury knew what kind of player Kobe Bryant was.
In cold blood! Pick someone to be the background board of the killing god!
Is this the end of the game against Kobe?
If yes, then I'd rather be a bastard.
Marbury sighed.
I'm sorry, Kevin.
At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers 34:21 Timberwolves. An exaggerated score difference, the Timberwolves have three cores, and only Tom Gugliotta can score normally.
Kobe Bryant had 11 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 0 turnovers, played a perfect performance, and inherited the All-Star hot hand ~ feeling to the present.
Kevin Garnett was frantically targeted by the Lakers, exposing his lack of strength and poor vision on the court.
3 mistakes in a single quarter, two steals by Kobe Bryant, plus one pass to Bowen. The little wolf king's current performance is still a little immature ~ tender.
Marbury was cowardly before the fight, and once again acted as an invisible man, and neither the offensive and defensive sections put the slightest pressure on Kobe.
The Lakers' offense blossomed on multiple fronts, the defense played well, and the young Lakers players raced around the court, quickly counterattacking and bombing the Timberwolves' restricted area.
The lumbering Timberwolves are no match for the Lakers who are running.
Slaughter! In the first quarter's starting showdown, the Lakers were completely slaughtering!
Harris's smile on his face could tell how happy he was.
"Big Ben is doing well, he's tough, just like that!"
"Kobe Bryant's several steals were also very decisive, and the misplaced offense was also in place, which is good."
Lakers players exchanged glances.
That's great! Finally made the grudge manager happy.
"Next, let's see how the substitutes perform."
The Lakers put on five up and five downs, and changed to the bench: Derrick Fisher, Dell Curry, Jeromy Coulsi, Robert Hawley, Matt Geiger.
It's time to inspect the goods! It was the debut of the two key substitutes of the newcomers!
The Lakers players also intended to make the ball for Dell Curry, and as soon as the second quarter came up, Horry found Dell Curry in the first shot.
Perfect hand shape! Perfect shot rhythm!
"Huh!"
Harris nodded with satisfaction, West's unpromising reinforcement was actually very prescient.
Van Axel is also more of a set scorer in the team, so why not trade him for a more consistent and efficient goalscorer?
At the same time, he swapped out the weak Tyrese Knight and got a very good Matt Geiger with pick-and-roll quality and basket protection. In this way, during O'Neill's rest, the team's penalty area defense does not have to worry too much.
Fisher, Curry, and Horry fired three sharp shots, making Timberwolves coach Philip Sanders' face green.
It's outrageous!
The substitutes are all shooters, how can this be prevented?
Do you want Garnett to play the whole game?
Sanders thought about it for a while, but still gave up his plan to fight the Lakers. One reason is that even if you are dead, you may not be able to win.
Another reason, Garnett is still young and has plenty of room to grow, if this ball leaves Garnett with ~ shadow, it will undoubtedly be a big loss for the Timberwolves.
Sanders clearly knew that Harris's plan was to catch Garnett and jerk him to death, and since the game had already been spent, he would simply let the players come down and rest.
With the Timberwolves all but giving up the game at the beginning of the third quarter, the Lakers immediately replaced most of their main players.
At the end of the game, the Lakers 117-81 Timberwolves.
A big win by 36 points!
Bryant played 23 minutes and scored 21 points, 4 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and 1 turnover.
Dell Curry played 24 minutes, hitting four three-pointers and finishing with 19 points and two rebounds.
Garnett played 18 minutes and finished with seven points, four rebounds, three assists and seven turnovers.
"Kevin, you have to remember this game clearly. Next time, I hope you can make the Lakers shiver! ”
Garnett's eyes are a little red~ moist, and the blow this game brought to him, an ambitious young All-Star, is undoubtedly huge.
It's a public execution!
Wait! Bryant!
Garnett is determined to train the shortcomings of strength and organization to a level that no one can ignore!
At that time, I was the wolf king!
