Chapter Twenty-Three: The Minnesota Wolves
The Knicks, who were well-rested in New York, prepared to travel to Minnesota to take on the wolves in that cold place. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the most important point for Mo Xi in this game is Kevin Garnett in the opposing team. This is another outstanding rookie interior after 95 years, with Duncan, considered the two most outstanding No. 21s, compared to Duncan, Garnett is undoubtedly more like a big forward, extremely comprehensive, with back shooting, protecting rebounds, covering a good hat, outside dribbling, fast breaking, steals, and mid-range shooting can be said to be the most versatile performance at present. Although the body seems a little thin, no one can underestimate the tough style of the ball. Mo Xi has already fought with Duncan, and Mo Xi, who is far from reaching his peak, or Mo Xi, who has not developed his ability at all, was completely blown up by Duncan, this time, Mo Xi, who has been strengthened physically, faces Garnett, who is on the same level as Duncan, and is still eager to prove himself.
After getting Garnett, the development of the Timberwolves in recent years is obvious to all, and they may not have the strength to challenge for a championship, but at least, this is also a playoff-level powerhouse.
In fact, just look at the lineup, the Timberwolves and the Knicks are half a pound, the Timberwolves' Garnett can do any job on the court alone, and can play a role in strengthening the team in all aspects, but this is also one of the reasons why Garnett was criticized at the peak of his career in the future, because he was too comprehensive and lacked offensive ability, and the lack of back-to-back offensive ability made Garnett's deterrent power on the inside far from being comparable to Duncan. There is no strong means of scoring, and in a team with a single-core system, this is a very lethal existence.
Now the Timberwolves basically maintain the roster from last season's playoffs, and there are no special reinforcements.
The Knicks came to Minnesota on a special plane. As soon as he got off the plane, Mo Xi couldn't help but shiver, the cold Minnesota had begun to drift with light snow at this time, Mo Xi had almost always lived in the coastal city, and such a cold area could be said to be almost completely separated from him.
The first thing you have to do when you come to a team in Minnesota is to keep warm. The Eastern and Western races have completely different resistance to certain diseases, for example, the cold is as common to us as drinking water, it is a terrible disease in the eyes of Westerners, and if it were not for the development of medicine, it would be as deterrent as the Black Death.
The Knicks who got off the plane were directly ordered by Van Gundy to bring all kinds of scarves and hats, plus a tall man carrying his own bag, as if Christmas was coming early and Santa Claus was starting to haunt.
However, to Van Gundy's reassurance, the Timberwolves' arena is still warm enough to allow the Knicks to warm up fully.
Murphy and Sprewell were the last to leave, and in a few hours they will be playing a game against the Timberwolves here.
The two stopped at the door, and there, there was a tall, lanky figure.
Young Garnett is actually the same as the rough man in the future, but the current Garnett has not grown a beard. Even among the blacks, Garnett is very dark, 24 years old, he can't see the immaturity of the high school student at this time, with a huge diamond stud earring on his ear, his arrogant eyes scanned Mo Xi and Spreville, as if the emperor met an envoy from another country when he was patrolling his own territory, and his fierce eyes seemed to tear people apart.
Garnett is tall, definitely not the league's official 6 feet 11 inches, faintly taller than the 7-foot Mo Xi. This situation is very common in the league, and many people often lie about their height in order to be able to play in the positions they are used to, or they are unwilling to play certain positions, and there are countless examples of this. Garnett was one of them, entering the draft as a high school student and shocking the league with his extraordinary reach and terrifying jump, but in the end, only the Timberwolves dared to take the risk of picking this teenager who looked like a bamboo pole and shattered at the touch of a bamboo pole, and Garnett also wanted to avoid playing against those stout centers, so he cut some of his own height.
The three of them stood in the doorway, staring wide-eyed. In Garnett's view, this is Lao Tzu's territory, and you should take the initiative to greet me, if I take the initiative to talk to you, wouldn't it be worth nothing, my worth will fall, then the entire Timberwolves will lose face in front of the Knicks. In fact, although Garnett's mouth is broken, deep down in his heart, he is always like a child, sensitive and fragile, but he has an incomparable love for what he loves, and for Garnett, people who like basketball must not be bad people.
The reason why Sprewell waited for Garnett not to speak is also very simple, that is, Lao Tzu is invincible in the world, and his seniority is higher than yours, and it is your honor for you to take the initiative to greet me. Sprewell's emotional intelligence has grown exponentially after the Warriors' incident, but this is only limited to getting along with teammates and coaching staff, and for people who are not his brothers, Sprewell is as always the same.
Mo Xi was a little embarrassed on the side, he had a good relationship with Sprewell, naturally he knew what Sprewell was thinking, and Garnett had never met a few times, but he had only heard of it, this is also a very proud person, but, young people who don't have some temper, Mo Xi is driven by a group of unruly old guys, and he also faintly has some momentum of Lao Tzu's number one in the world, in the face of Garnett, Mo Xi stubbornly did not choose to be the first to speak.
But these three people stood at the door, all of them were strong and strong, and the three of them completely blocked the door, and the old staff member who was still a timberwolf couldn't help but say because of his age: "Hey, let me go, we won't be able to finish the job if you guys look at it any longer, and then you can only play in the snow in Minnesota." ”
The three of them stepped aside and stared at each other for a while, but Mo Xi and Spreville had to go back to the hotel and didn't want to delay here, so the three of them kept watching and then walked in their respective directions.
When the three of them staggered, Garnett, who had a fiery personality, still couldn't hold back, he opened his mouth and said: "Hey, No. 30 of the Knicks, I heard Tim say that you played okay, but you can't defend, it seems that you are destined to do nothing tonight, because you can't get a point in front of me." ”
Mo Xi frowned, trash talk has never been his good part, and he couldn't find how to talk back to the other party for a while.
Sprewell has long regarded Mo Xi as his little brother, and when he saw that his little brother was provoked, he didn't have to think about how to fight back, and Sprewell sprayed directly: "That's really interesting, with a small physique like you, you can't even resist my ass, do you want to play center, my God, didn't anyone tell you, a guy like you has to buy insurance in advance to play center." ”
In terms of spraying people, although Garnett's realm is not high, he still stays in direct swearing, not the kind of spraying people without dirty words like Bird, Payton and others, but Garnett has really never served anyone, although he is not very technical, but he is a pure power player, and he will not use technical offenses at all.
After a brief encounter, Sprewell was bored, it was so untechnical that it was just a few words over and over again. After Sprewell squirted again, he didn't give Garnett room to fight back, and just turned around and left.
It's a pity, I thought about it for a long time, and finally let go of a cruel word
"Oh, okay, I'll try to try then."
After that, Mo Xi turned around and left, leaving Garnett alone in place, feeling constipated.
