Marbury, as the top backcourt player in the 96 golden generation, in fact, if you look at the data, in addition to Iverson, Marbury is stronger in the 96 golden generation......

In terms of data, it is better than Kobe Bryant and Ray Allen!

This season, Marbury's stats have improved, but not by much, from 16 points per game in his rookie season to 17.7 points......

On the other hand, Kobe Bryant and Ray Allen are the latecomers.

Kobe Bryant and Ray Allen's rookie season scoring data are about the same, both are at the level of thirteen or fourteen points, and this season the average points per game of both have increased to nearly 20 points!

Kobe Bryant averaged 19.6 points per game, and Ray Allen averaged 19.5 points per game!

These two have surpassed Marbury and become the strongest backcourt under Iverson, especially Kobe, although the score is similar to Ray Allen, but he also has an average of 7.6 assists, coupled with the team's outstanding record, it seems that it is already comparable to Iverson's existence!

Averaged 19.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks per game, which is the impressive stats that Kobe Bryant has played this season.

Marbury is difficult to deal with just one Kobe Bryant at the moment, not to mention that Kobe Bryant has a large group of helpers in the backcourt.

And Marbury only has a backcourt partner of Chris Kyle, which is still acceptable, averaging about 10 points per game, but what is more embarrassing is that this Kyle has entered the injury list at the end of the season and cannot play in the playoffs.

……

On the first night the Timberwolves arrived in Portland, they held a press conference.

The team's inner and outer cores, Garnett and Marbury, attended the press conference under the leadership of head coach Philip Saunders......

Sanders first spoke at the press conference: "First of all, on behalf of the Timberwolves, I would like to congratulate the Portland Trail Blazers for their best record in team history. ”

"Secondly, in my personal capacity, I would like to thank Richard, we are both coaches of the NCAA Big Ten League, and his glory makes us also honored!"

Sanders was quite friendly, first congratulating the Trail Blazers on behalf of the team, and then thanking Richard in his personal capacity.

Many reporters rolled their eyes, and Sanders's words actually couldn't find anything wrong......

He played for the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers when he was in college, and the Golden Gophers belong to the same league as the Boilermakers, that is, the Big Ten League, so he Sanders and Richard are really a bit "related......

It's just that this relationship, in the eyes of reporters, is really a bit of a can't be beaten, and it's a bit of a suspicion of leaning up.

That's why they rolled their eyes......

After Sanders finished speaking, Marbury took the microphone.

"The Trail Blazers have been so strong this season, really, I'm afraid no one would have believed that they could play the best record in the league before the season started, and now that they have done it, we feel like it's a matter of course!"

"Rightfully so, because Coach Richard is terrible, really terrible!"

"I'm afraid you already know that when I graduated from high school, Coach Richard once extended an olive branch to me on behalf of Purdue, but for some reason, I turned it down, which is probably the stupidest thing I've done in my career so far......"

"But what you don't know is that Kevin was also recruited by Richard in the first place!"

"God, it's terrible, as if a player has no secrets in Richard's eyes, and the player he has his eye on, as it turns out, has never been looked at!"

Journalists open their mouths wide, and what else is going on?

Richard recruited Marbury, and most reporters knew about it, but Garnett? Was also drafted by Richard?

If that's the case, then Richard is really terrible, the two cores of the Timberwolves team almost became Richard's disciples!

All the reporters had their eyes on Kevin Garnett.

Garnett took the microphone from Marbury's hand and nodded in a serious tone.

"Yes, Stephen was right, Coach Richard did draft me, but as you know, I was already sure I was going to participate in the draft......"

"So, taking this opportunity, I want to say sorry to Coach Richard, but I haven't found a chance to say it!"

"If I didn't go to the draft, I'd be more than happy to play for Coach Richard!"

Garnett has already spoken, Richard has recruited the Timberwolves inside and outside the core, and this matter is obviously a real hammer.

Whether it's Marbury or Garnett, both of them are glamorous newcomers in the league, and there's no need to lie about this kind of thing......

If he really lied, with Richard's temperament, he might jump out and slap them in the face in the next second.

Now that they dare to say it, there will definitely be no fake ......

"Dear friends from the media, you should be able to see the relationship between us and the Trailblazers by now."

"We're pretty close brothers, just like the Trail Blazers have with the Philadelphia 76ers, and I'm confident that we'll have a lot of opportunities to work with the Blazers in the future!"

Sanders said to the reporters in the audience again.

The reporters now understand that the biggest purpose of the Timberwolves' press conference is to climb the relationship and want to climb the relationship with the pioneers.

Anyway, with their lineup, unless it's really God who comes down to earth to save them, otherwise, the Blazers will almost certainly be able to hammer them.

In this case, it is better to be smarter, not to say those cliché cruel words, and to improve the relationship with the pioneers.

……

When Richard learned about the content of the Timberwolves' press conference, he couldn't help but laugh, he did recruit Garnett and Marbury, but Sanders?

In fact, he and Sanders really have a relationship that can't be matched, and when Sanders went to college, it was still in the seventies......

But since the Timberwolves have released their goodwill, Richard naturally wants to be interested.

At the pre-game press conference the next day, Richard took the Timberwolves up and down to boast, saying that their core players will definitely rule the league, and Coach Sanders brought the Timberwolves into the playoffs this season and is eligible to win the honor of best head coach of the season.

……

The sedan chair is carried by everyone, multiple friends and multiple roads, anyway, it doesn't hurt to be good friends with the Timberwolves for Richard, and Philip Saunders is the head coach who has a long coaching career.

A year before Richard, Sanders began his career as a bishop and has since spent more than a decade in the NBA.

With such a coach, maybe Richard will be able to use others in the future.
