Chapter 91: The Shortest VS the Shortest!
After readjusting the lineup, Garnett and others came on the court.
When he was in the Timberwolves, Sanders had been emphasizing the need to avoid three-point shots, and now he was suddenly given the task of having to shoot three-pointers by Li Wei, and Garnett was very unaccustomed to it!
The first throw, iron, the second throw, iron, the third shot, still iron!
Hit zero of five shots, plus two of the first half, Garnett shot zero of seven from beyond the three-point line!
On the defensive end, Li Wei also adjusted the alignment and asked Nash to defend Glenn Rice!
Glenn Rice is 2.01 meters tall, can shoot suddenly, averaged 26.8 per game last season, and has no need to say about his scoring ability!
Just now Bruce Bowen greeted him, but he was still beaten and beaten up, and now it is strange that Nash can prevent it!
At the end of the quarter, the score was fixed at 87:80, the Hornets recovered 27 points, only 7 points behind, and Glenn Rice scored 25 points in a single quarter, making the home fans scream for him!
Hornets head coach Dave Cowens glanced at Li Wei helplessly.
With such a blatant release of water, it would be strange if he couldn't see it!
Think about himself as a generation of famous coaches, think about his team as a strong team with 54 wins last season, but he has to let Li Wei make such concessions to recover the score, his old face is red!
In this game, even if you win, you will have no shame!
"Coach!"
Garnett hit five irons in a row, and looked at Li Wei with a little uneasy.
Just now, Li Wei scolded Stephen Jackson and Bruce Bowen, and he had a hunch that he was going to be scolded too.
Unexpectedly, Li Wei had no intention of scolding him at all, but nodded with a smile and said: "Yes, you have to vote like this, cast boldly, it doesn't matter if you can't vote, just practice more." ”
The average shooter doesn't shoot too accurately at the beginning. Kevin Durant shot just 28 percent from three-point range in his first season, and Dirk Nowitzki shot even less from three-point range in his first season at 20 percent!
In fact, they are very accurate off the field, but they can't do it when they get on the field, because competition and training are two different things!
Two of the 180 Club's top scorers will be like this, let alone others. It's rare to have a shooter like Nash who can shoot 41.8 percent in his rookie season!
Shooting inaccurately, it takes practice, and it takes time to grow, which is one of the reasons why NBA coaches in this era are reluctant to let players shoot threes.
The coaches want to win, they want to win, they want to compete for the rankings, and it is impossible to give the players a lot of opportunities to shoot and hone the iron gods into quasi-gods!
Otherwise, the Iron Gods will have to leave class before they become accurate!
Garnett's shooting talent is not as good as Kevin Durant and Dirk Nowitzki, it is normal to be more iron than them, Li Wei will give him a season to slowly adapt, and by the way, he will use Garnett's iron to play badly, everyone takes what they need!
When Garnett's three-point practice comes out next year and the Knicks also draft Nowitzki, they can work hard to win and impact the playoffs!
In the fourth quarter, the Knicks continued to release water, creating all kinds of offensive and defensive unreasonableness for the Hornets to hit hard. Although Dave Cowens felt that his face was gloomy, he still had to win the ball that should have been won, and finally overtook the score at the halfway point of the quarter!
The big reversal, the big reversal with a 34-point lead, was achieved by the Wasps!
But even the Hornets fans at home have tasted the wrong taste of this reversal!
The Knicks' coach is definitely an undercover agent and the first contributor to the Hornets' comeback!
What did they call it in the second half!
With less than a minute left in the game, the Hornets led by 13 points at 118-105, and Li Wei felt that garbage time was up and he could play.
The Hornets also brought on the bench, and their backup point guard was Tini Boggs, also known as Magosy Boggs, nicknamed the Bug, the shortest player in NBA history, only 1.6 meters!
It's a pity that Li Wei broke his shortest record, the official height is only 1.5 meters, and the actual height is only 1.48 meters!
Well, now Li Wei has grown another centimeter, and he is already 1.48 meters!
"Hahaha!" Hornets fans laughed and applauded as they saw two of the shortest players in history battle it out in the arena!
Commentator Steve Martin said: "Today we actually had the privilege of seeing this scene, seeing two of the shortest players in the NBA face off!" ”
"Yes, I've always thought Teeni was lonely, he was so short, he was waist-high as some center forwards," McGregor said. But compared with Li Weiyi, I think he is also quite tall! ”
Steve Martin said: "Haha, that's right, he seems to be half a head taller than Li Wei!" ”
McGregor said, "Let's shout together, cheer for the two shortest fighters, the two shortest fighters fighting in this supreme league!" ”
The fans at the scene immediately responded to the host's call and shouted loudly to cheer!
Bug Boggs has always been the pride of Hornets fans, despite being only 1.6 meters tall, but he has always been the team's leading point guard. In the past two years, he has been old and injured, and he is gradually unable to do it, and this summer the team signed David Wesley, which took a back seat!
As for Li Wei, although the fans of the Hornets are not familiar with it, the team can complete a 34-point reversal and turn defeat into victory, Li Wei is the first hero, and they must support it!
Tinny Boggs listened to the applause and cheers in the arena, looked at the short Li Wei in front of him, and smiled from ear to ear.
He never imagined that there would be a shorter player in the NBA and still play against him on the court!
Can we also bully people with our height today?
It's fantastic!
The Knicks serve, and Li Wei advances with the ball.
Boggs said loudly: "Hey, brother, do you need me to guard you seriously?" ”
Li Wei hurriedly shook his head.
Unlike him, who entered the NBA by virtue of his relationship, Boggs is 1.6 meters tall and can still enter the NBA, which is based on real skills!
Let's think about it, his height is condensed to such a point, whoever beats him is misplaced, and he can start more than 500 games, and he is the team's main point guard, how against the sky will this be in itself!
On the defensive end, this dwarf robber gives people the feeling that they will become two people, obviously on the left, and they will suddenly appear on the right, and you are not negotiable for steals!
Some people say that there may be another Jordan in the NBA, but there will definitely not be another Boggs, who is the most unique player in the NBA!
Li Wei believes that if Boggs defends seriously, his ball will be in the opponent's hands in the next second!
So let's beg someone to release the water!
Boggs laughed: "Okay, I don't steal you, when you shoot in a while, I'm going to cover you one!" I've got my favorite guy with the Nix, I've covered Ewing before, you know? ”
Li Wei's face darkened.
The block that was slapped by Boggs is definitely a shame for Ewing's life. Think about it, as one of the four center forwards, he is 2.13 meters tall, but he was covered by a 1.6 meter person, how frustrating it is!
Li Wei is not ready to contribute to Boggs's blocking career!
