Chapter 224: Pressing the "Switch"

"What, you want to drink her bathwater?"

Sun Hao replied.

Garnett's trash talk, he was impressed last season.

Including the ones he heard as he passed by the training gym today.

So he had already been mentally prepared.

And he also knew that Garnett's purpose in spewing trash talk was to provoke his opponent.

If the opponent is provoked, angry, fouled, or even vicious, then his goal has been achieved.

Conversely, if you don't respond, morale will be hit and even internal injuries will be suffocated.

That's why trash talk has become a traditional NBA craft.

Because its ROI is too high.

Garnett's phrase just now seemed to be a greeting, but it was full of flirtation, and although it wasn't as bad as "your wife tastes like a doughnut", it was also standard trash talk.

Sun Hao's way of fighting back was to spray trash talk with trash talk.

I have never eaten pork and seen pigs run, and Sun Hao has seen a lot of fan comments on social media in his past and present lives.

Coupled with the fact that he was nurtured by Deng Huade, it was more than enough to pick out some back-and-forth.

I often walk by the river, how can I not get my shoes wet.

Garnett sprayed others and it wasn't that they hadn't been sprayed back.

But Sun Hao's answer was not according to the routine, and he couldn't answer at once.

"Don't be embarrassed, if you really want to drink, you can go to my house and squat in the sewer, it's enough."

Sun Hao continued.

The sewer system in the United States is much larger than in China, and even a big man like Garnett can fit it.

"You!"

Garnett was.

Originally, he wanted to provoke Sun Hao, but he didn't expect Sun Hao to fight back so quickly!

But he finally took a long breath and turned his head to ignore Sun Hao.

Oh, Sun Hao wants him to be fooled, let him be punished, so that he won't be fooled!

Sun Hao was also stunned when he saw Garnett's reaction.

He was ready to clash with Garnett, after all, his trash talk was worse than Garnett's.

But Garnett's reaction was unexpected.

This...... What about the iron and blood that is said to be good?

This scene is just a small episode on the field.

The Mavericks struggled to defend against a wave of offense from the Timberwolves.

Nelson Sr. stood up from the bench and looked forward with Nash as he advanced with the ball.

The Mavericks scored five points in five minutes and the offense went awry.

He also knows that it has something to do with the Timberwolves' joint defense, but the problem is that the Timberwolves have a high offensive success rate, and the Mavericks can't get up fast.

He now needs someone to step up and score tough in positional battles.

Sun Hao arrived at the front court and stretched out his hand to beckon to Nash.

Nash wasn't Fisher, and he didn't have to wait for Sun Hao to shout "give me that damn ball."

Although Sun Hao forcibly fed him dog food, he still trusted Sun Hao extremely much.

Even they had a tacit understanding with each other, and after giving the ball to Sun Hao, he motioned for the others to pull away from the wings.

Sun Hao wants the ball at this time, and he must do it alone.

Sun Hao stood on the right flank, and it was Szzebiak who was in charge of that area.

Szebiak knew Sun Hao's three-point accuracy and had already pounced on it as soon as possible.

This is where we have to mention a weakness in the zone defense.

Because it is responsible for the defense of the area, the defensive position will not be as tight as the man-to-man marking, so once you encounter a player with a good combination of sudden shots, the defensive opportunity will be more passive.

Sun Hao saw Szebiak's movements, and a fake throw squeezed past him.

The Timberwolves' joint defense was immediately mobilized, Garnett on the weak side immediately helped to defend, and Szzebiak also chased after him from behind.

2 anti-1 in the area.

However, Garnett knows Sun Hao's passing ability, and he has spare energy to make up for the defense when he assists in defense.

He's still confident in his defensive coverage.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Sun Hao directly stopped making a move!

This choice was very sudden, no matter how fast he was, he was slow when he pounced.

The basketball went over his long arm and spun towards the basket.

"Huh!"

With a crisp sound, Sun Hao faced Garnett's defensive mid-range hit!

The Mavericks have broken the scoring drought on the court!

Old Nelson clenched his hands into fists.

This goal is one to two, and it is a beautiful score.

The scene also erupted in cheers.

Sun Hao's key ball really didn't disappoint them!

Scarlett also smiled and applauded Sun Hao.

Although he was in Los Angeles before, he had seen Sun Hao play again after many years.

But now that the two recognize each other, coupled with the rapid progress of the relationship, that feeling is completely different.

Sun Hao turned his head and saw Scarlett's smile, and he also recalled the scene when he was EBA.

Although Scarlett is now mature and steady, she is no longer as heart-to-heart and kissing as she was at the beginning.

But seeing her smile, Sun Hao felt refreshed.

He, to score more!

Nelson Sr. also signaled the team to set up a 2-3 joint defense at this time.

He has been observing the opening game until now, and he found that the Timberwolves are a little weaker on the outside of the lineup.

Garnett's organization, Billups' three-point shot missed, and the rebound was picked up by Lafrentz.

The Mavericks immediately pushed the defense to counterattack, and Nash scored a fast-break layup.

The tall lineup of the Timberwolves has a good joint defense, but the speed of the defense is definitely slow.

In front, the Timberwolves have a high offensive success rate, and the Mavericks can't push up the speed.

But just now, the Timberwolves didn't score!

9 to 12.

The Mavericks scored four straight points to narrow the gap to three.

Garnett continued to organise up front, this time splitting the ball to Szzebiak.

Szczebiak has shot 45.5 percent from the field this season, making him one of the most accurate players in the league.

This has a lot to do with the league's build-up, and he can use Garnett's containment to get plenty of opportunities from the outside.

However, he underestimated the Mavericks' ability to defend together.

Not long after the start of the season, the Mavericks have been playing this set of joint defensive counter-attack streams, and the speed of the defense is faster than the average team.

When he received the ball, he was interfered with by Sun Hao.

"Phew!"

He didn't make a shot either!

Nowitzki protected the defensive rebound, and the Mavericks pushed the defensive counterattack.

This time, Nash gave the ball to Sun Hao, who followed up on the right side, and Sun Hao directly stopped to chase three points.

This choice is very Sun Hao.

"Huh!"

But the result is also very Sun Hao!

Stopping to chase three points has become one of Sun Hao's signature scoring methods!

12 draws!

Sun Hao led the team to play a wave of 7-0 small climax, tying the score difference!

It's really like it took you almost half a quarter to pull the difference apart, and I'll chase it back for you in a minute!

Garnett's face was a little ugly.

In front of the Timberwolves, the Mavericks suppressed the Mavericks, and he felt that he was going to be ashamed tonight, but this was a terrible goal.

It felt like ...... On that day, people were reminded of the fear of being dominated by giants.

58 points fiasco!

No, we can't let that happen again!

If last season's battle between the Spurs and Mavericks in the playoffs between fast and slow was S-tier, today the Timberwolves and Mavericks are SS-tiered.

A tall defensive lineup, once dragged into a fast pace, is a dead end.

There was only one way to avoid this situation, and that was to score the ball on the offensive end and not give the Mavericks a chance to play quickly, as they did in the first half of the first quarter.

When it came to the frontcourt, Garnett received the ball in the high post.

His choice...... Or a jumper.

"Huh!"

He followed up with Finley's jumper.

After the goal, he pounded his chest hard.

This is Iron Will!

But before he could finish the hammer, the Mavericks had already quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

Sun Hao received the ball at the three-point line and threw it directly, without the slightest hesitation.

The Timberwolves were slow to retreat, and only Billups struggled to pounce, but couldn't catch up.

"Huh!"

As soon as the guns go off, ten thousand taels of gold!

Sun Hao pulled out his Italian cannon and hit two consecutive hits to chase three points!

15 to 14!

The Mavericks overtook the score!

"Ahem......"

Garnett felt like he had been pounding his chest too hard.

"Take out 100% focus and retreat as soon as possible!"

When he got back to the backcourt, he yelled at the Timberwolves.

Szzerbiak gave him a slightly speechless expression at this time.

Wasn't it you who was slow to retreat just now?

However, after Garnett cast a vicious look at him, he had no choice but to turn back.

Garnett's mid-range shot from the free-throw line goes in again!

The Mavericks' 2-3 defense gave him a chance, and he showed his ...... as a top-tier power forward Archery.

These two jumpers are key.

15 to 16.

The Timberwolves overtook the score again.

And this time Garnett took the lead, and the Timberwolves retreated quickly, and did not give the Mavericks a chance to play fast like before.

When he retreated into positional warfare, Garnett's face was full of confidence.

The Mavericks relied on fast play and defensive counterattacks to catch up with the score, and as long as they didn't get into that rhythm, it would be difficult for the Mavericks to score.

Positional defense, the Mavericks ......

"Huh!"

He hadn't finished thinking about it yet, there was a crisp sound on the court, Sun Hao's sudden three-point shot, the ball, and it went in again!

The American Airlines Center is already boiling.

Kuban was even more excited to spit out the fragrance.

With three three-pointers in a row, they knew the sun was going to rise in Dallas!

No, that's not right!

Garnett was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

Said that the good positional battle can't be scored!

He looked at Szebiak with an unhappy expression.

"Watch him!"

Szebiak's expression was a little helpless.

In front of him, he pounced, and Sun Hao burst in and shot the middle distance.

He didn't pounce just now, and Sun Hao shot three points.

This is a problem of joint defense, not his!

But he knew Garnett's temper, and he didn't dare to say anything.

The Timberwolves went to the frontcourt again, and the Mavericks switched back to man-marking.

Garnett set up an assist for Billups, but the latter's layup was directly blocked by Lafrentz, who was back to the defense.

On the Timberwolves bench, head coach Sanders reached out to support his forehead.

When will Billups be reliable.

Fortunately, the Timberwolves didn't even rush to the frontcourt this time, tightened their belts and turned around and ran back, not giving the Mavericks a chance to play fast.

Once again, the two sides entered into positional warfare.

Nowitzki didn't have a chance to give the ball to Sun Hao after receiving the ball, and then took the initiative to go over to block it for him.

Just like he said before the game, he will pass the ball to Sun Hao, not to mention that Sun Hao is hot now.

The Mavericks are three defenses and two defenses.

However, Nowitzki took it apart and took another one with him.

And the Timberwolves have had some communication issues on the defensive end.

Joint defense is the same as marching troops in ancient times, and coordination is very important.

The slightest miscommunication between each other can fall short.

In theory, the Timberwolves have done so well this season that it is difficult for this kind of problem to occur.

But just like in the battle, Sun Hao's consecutive three points were like Lu Bu rushing into the formation with Fang Tian's halberd in his hand, and the Timberwolves were obviously unstable.

It was this opportunity that Sun Hao made a three-point shot with a signature crotch retreat.

When the ball was shot again, the eyes of the fans at the scene were shining.

Sun Hao has already scored 3 three-pointers in a row in front of him, and if this 4th can still score, it will be a little comfortable.

"Huh!"

A crunch sound came through the loudspeaker.

The cheers in the arena in the center of the route exploded directly.

Those thousands of catties of ceilings feel like they are going to be overturned at any time.

At this time, it was as if someone was shouting there.

Is it comfortable?

Comfortable!

Would you like to be more comfortable?

…… Want!

21 to 16!

Sun Hao didn't score a point in the first five minutes, but in the past five minutes, he has made 4 three-pointers and scored 14 points!

Ask which one is stronger, Dallas, Texas is looking for the Suns!

Sanders, call a timeout!

He felt that if he didn't call a timeout, Sun Hao could shoot a fifth or even sixth three-pointer.

Sun Hao also played a little high, and when he saw Scarlett smiling and applauding him when he came out of the game, he couldn't hold back a little.

He trotted towards Scarlett, then held out his hand to her.

When Scarlett saw it, she also stretched out her hand, and the two slapped each other lightly.

Well, there is a feeling of electricity passing through the body.

“……”

Nowitzki was not far from Sun Hao, and looking at the scene in front of him, he felt a little pain in his heart.

Please, don't show it!

There was also a burst of whistles and cheers.

No one knew about the relationship between Sun Hao and Scarlett before, but this move just now made it difficult for people not to think about something!

Garnett saw the scene too.

He is now sure that Scarlett should be Sun Hao's girlfriend.

He kind of regretted saying that kind of trash talk to Sun Hao.

Because after he finished speaking, the Timberwolves, who were ahead by 7 points, fell behind by 5 points in a blink of an eye, which means that the Timberwolves lost by a full 12 points after he finished speaking!

Such a scene awakened a certain memory in his mind.

That was before Jordan's second retirement, not long after he entered the league.

Jordan is also the god of basketball and is the object of everyone's challenge.

He played hard in the game, and the Timberwolves were only two points behind the Bulls at the time.

"Keep him, get hard, I'm playing well now, keep him."

He's constantly cheering himself on.

"Kill him a son of a bitch!"

At that time, Jordan happened to be next to him, but he continued to encourage himself as if he didn't see it.

"Young people are very good."

Then Jordan stood behind him, his hands on his hips, chunching gum and laughing.

The next six or seven minutes of the game were indescribably miserable.

The Timberwolves went from being 2 points down to 25 points behind......

Jordan had only scored 18 points, but after a few minutes, it became 40 points......

"Young man, aren't you beating young man today?"

The suspense quickly lost to him, and then Jordan said to him with a smile as he was substituted.

It feels like you've pressed a switch.

A similar scene reappeared, and he also had a feeling that he had pressed a "switch" again.

Only this time, the owner of this "switch" is not Jordan, but Sun Hao.
