Chapter 316: Lonely Wolf!
The game between the Wolves and the Mavericks Hu Qingniu was expected for a long time, to be honest, although the current Garnett is recognized as superior to Nowitzki, but Hu Qingniu, who knows the inside story, knows that the management of the Mavericks has been committed to maintaining the strength and balance of the team, and it is not at all comparable to the short-sighted management of the Timberwolves. Even if the Timberwolves played first in the West last season, this season will fall apart.
As soon as it opened, the direction of the game confirmed Hu Qingniu's idea.
Young Jason Terry is one of the league's fastest small defenders, and his style of play is so strong that he is always one step away from Hudson's transparent defence.
Although it was difficult for Terry to complete a good game of directly attacking the basket due to KG's defense of the basket, he attracted the pass after KG's defense, allowing Nuo Tianwang to benefit a lot on the weak side of the court.
If you block one, you have to let go of the other, and this trouble of KG did not last long, because his next trouble came again.
This time it's Finley and Starkerhouse.
If the young Hudson can't be prevented, but there is no shortage of positive fighting mentality, then Szzerbiak has a habit of defensive cleanliness, and when he encounters a menacing opponent, he does not dare to block his precious body forward; Sprewell, on the other hand, didn't take defense seriously at all, and the aging Finley felt like a stroll down the road in the early morning in the first half. After Finley scored nine points in a row, Sprewell still owed the defense of pulling the opponent's clothes.
The score difference is getting bigger and bigger, and KG's anxious temper is getting more and more urgent.
At halftime, the score was even stretched to more than 20 points.
KG scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting in the half, but teammate Sprewell scored 6 points on 3-of-12 shooting, and Szczebiak scored well, scoring 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting; But what was even more impressive was that he hit Stackhouse on all eight shots and scored 20 points in the half.
Then there's Mr. Olowo Candi, who couldn't keep up with the Mavericks' quick counter-attack, finishing just three rebounds and four turnovers in the half.
What's even more desperate is that McHale, who is the head coach of the Timberwolves, has only one way at this time, moving a stool in the locker room and sitting next to Garnett, and unraveling KG from the perspective of a brother, hoping that KG can break the seal by itself and play a supernatural performance.
As for the tactics, the team as a whole, McHale has to say sorry, he is also the interim head coach who rushed to the shelves after Sanders' poor record, and it is better to say that he is the head coach, it is better to say that he is KG's nanny. What kind of offense is not effective, the team is not playing as a whole, he has no problem with these, he has no way but to be a good babysitter.
"The first game is especially important for the series, and the first to win is a new momentum!"
"The Germans on the opposite side are one of your main competitors in the league, and this kind of matchup, you can win one more than ten other matchups!"
"The Timberwolves, the parent team that cultivated you, is on the verge of survival, and if you can't get results in this playoffs, then everyone's hearts will be scattered, and the support and hopes of the owner, Sanders, and even an ordinary fan for several seasons will be shattered!"
......
People sit at home, and chicken soup comes from the sky. McHale just sat on the sidelines, pouring bowl by bowl of poisonous chicken soup into KG's mouth. When KG was excavated, McHale clearly knew that KG didn't look fierce and vicious, looking like a big brother in the underworld, but in fact, he was a hot-blooded teenager, and chicken soup for the soul was the most effective.
Sure enough, less than five bowls of chicken soup entered his throat, and KG kept nodding yes.
KG, who has been with the Timberwolves for so long, has become accustomed to carrying all the pressure on his back, and no matter what mistakes his teammates make on the court, the final result will be borne by him.
Because, he is the proudest - the head wolf!!
Those who join my wolf pack, for my wolf warriors, the glory of this life, we share it, if it is suffering, I will bear it on my shoulders!
There is a category of players who, from the day they step into the league, carry everything about a team and the expectations of all the fans.
On their team, and in the league as a whole, they're as bright as unicorns, so different. Once successful, they will be the undisputed kings, but it will be the hardest way to succeed and gain recognition.
Just like the current KG and the Minnesota Timberwolves he held on to for 10 years. Such a small northern town that sounds like a storm and snow alone has made KG spend a whole decade of her youth defending her glory. However, in this tenth year, KG's prospects for success have not become clearer, but more confusing.
Faced with such a future, some people will pray to God and ask him why he has treated them so unfairly, while others hope that God will send someone to save them.
And Kevin Garnett! I never believed that anyone could be my savior!
The road you choose will be paved by yourself!
Maybe no matter how fierce the fighting spirit is, the fire will be extinguished one day!
But at least!
Not yet today!
With a big stride, KG's majestic body once again stood tall in the crowd of people on the court.
With the clamor of the fans, the second half of the game officially began.
The Timberwolves' backcourt is still the same, with Szzebiak and Sprewell not passing the ball to each other.
I saw Sprewell use his physical advantage to drive straight in, and when he saw two steps into the three-point line, he jumped up and jumped.
Finley was old and frail, but his experience was still there, and he didn't jump on his feet, but he stretched out his long arms to interfere, just obscuring Sprewell's vision.
The "madman" has seen a lot of this situation, so he increased his strength to shoot, regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, and threw it forward.
There was a bang, and the ball hit the front of the basket unsurprisingly, bouncing high.
The Timberwolves fans in front of the TV were happy for the neat breakthrough in front of them, and they all sighed.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the situation took a turn for the better.
Although Dirk spread his arms and tried to defend his forbidden area like a giant white bird, the KG behind him quickly rose into the air as if he had a flame booster.
The German turned back in despair, and the KG had already jumped more than half of his body in a disadvantageous position, crushing him under him.
"Stay down there and watch, baby!"
KG wantonly spewed trash talk, while not forgetting to stretch out one arm, down the basketball in the air, and then forcefully leaned on Dirk, and turned around and clasped his hands angrily!
Timberwolves fans in front of the TV were in a frenzy, "Shit! "Softie!" Catharsis in their mouths.
Being called a "soft egg" is indeed a common problem among European technical players, who play more gentlemanly and like to play against opponents, which is incompatible with the American basketball philosophy.
However, Nowitzki is not a soft egg like the fans' mouths, once it gets hard, the old German driver is harder than anyone else, and lasts longer than anyone else, even if the old rivals KG and Duncan have retired, he is still the court.
