Chapter 80 is not a simple battle

There are still about ten minutes before the start of the game, and the warm-up exercises of the two teams are basically done, the bodies of the players of both teams are warmed up, and the original serious training is also put down, and they start to shoot tentatively to stabilize the state and feeling of the game.

The game was broadcast live from ESPN in the United States, and the NBA's official media giant paid a rare attention to the game, sending ace commentators Bill Walton and Reggie Miller, two familiar superstar players to partner in the commentary combination, which made many fans feel a little familiar.

Bill Wharton raised his eyes and glanced at the deep camera in front of him, and took the lead in smiling and said: "Reggie, tonight's game is very popular, many people want to know the result of this game, and the kid in my neighborhood is specially preparing to stay up late tonight to watch the game." ”

Reggie fiddled with the slightly uncomfortable headset, a smile appeared on his dark and thin face, and naturally took Bill Wharton's words and said: "Indeed, tonight's game has attracted a lot of attention in the United States, and this game can be said to be a strong dialogue between two completely different teams in the East and West, one is young and infinite, and the other is getting sluggish, and tonight's game is still the highlight of the battle between the old and new wolf kings!" ”

Bill Wharton nodded, glanced at Reggie Miller, and then threw out another question: "So Reggie, which team do you like to win tonight's game?" ”

Reggie Miller smiled, the corners of his mouth grinning extremely happily, showing his white teeth, shining in front of the camera: "Bill, you know, I like those players who are strong and don't admit defeat, I like those players who are not amazing in appearance and are not talented, they are more worthy of my attention!" ”

After a pause, Reggie Miller glanced at the camera and continued to chatter: "Moreover, I am a guard, a guard with ordinary talent, but my career is not unusual at all, I am optimistic about the Chinese kid of the Timberwolves, he is very similar to me, and he has that desperate energy!" ”

"So, it seems that the Celts are left for me? But it just so happens that I am optimistic about the Celtics, although Boston's Predator is a year older this year, but their strength this season is not bad at all, on the contrary, I think their run-in has been deepened, and the chemistry has also been better, if it weren't for some injury factors in their team this season, then I don't think there is any problem at all in the first place in the East. Tonight, the Timberwolves want to win this game, the odds are too slim! ”

Reggie was a little unconvinced, and argued: "Bill, there are too many unlikely things in the world, when I faced the New York Knicks, how many people were waiting to see me lose, they all thought I couldn't win, but I still completed the lore, I believe that the Chinese kid can also win tonight, nothing is impossible!" ”

Reggie's words were categorical, as if there was himself on one side of tonight's game, and the confidence in his words could not be concealed.

The game is about to start, and ESPN's backstage staff have already started counting the ratings, and tonight's game is very much watched, and fans across the United States are watching tonight's game, and they are all attracted to the gimmick of the "old and new wolf king" battle.

Wolf King Garnett has been tied to the city since he was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round in 1995, sharing honor and disgrace, and has been with him for more than ten years, and he has even become a symbol of Minnesota for nearly a decade, and even now, you can still see the influence of this man in Minnesota cities.

Billboards, street corner posters, what people are talking about, everywhere.

Look at what Garnett has done for the city, making the Western Conference playoffs all year round, and even leading the team to the Western Conference Finals once.

A regular season MVP, a defensive team for many years, and the dominance of the rebounding king for four consecutive years, he was rated as the most versatile power forward in history, averaging 20+10+5+2 per game in his career, and his arrival brought many memories to Minnesota.

It also allowed the Timberwolves, the new army of the league, to get rid of the label of fish belly early on and avoid the same fate as the Bobcats.

And what about the Chinese kid Li Shihao? Before this season, his fame was too small, but at the beginning of this season, this yellow-skinned lad miraculously rose to conquer every adorable Minnesota fan with his crazy performances.

Young faces, mature and charismatic ways of playing, and increasingly revealing leadership temperament make Minnesotans happier by day, and now who doesn't know that the Timberwolves have picked up a treasure this summer and selected a potential rookie.

Now this young man is leading the team on the stage of the playoffs.

Tonight, all the focus is on the two of them, and fans across the United States are speculating about who will win the battle between the two people, whether the old wolf king will defend his royal power with iron blood, or the young new wolf king who will rise to the top and break the brand of the old wolf king with great strength.

?? Before the game began, the young lads of the Timberwolves felt a suppressed momentum, and even their breathing was involuntarily tightened.

The stands of this old arena are full of Celtics fans, and there is a sea of green as far as the eye can see, and this pressure is like a boulder on the hearts of the young boys of the Timberwolves.

At the moment of mobilization before the game, head coach Frank Vogel's face was relaxed, without the usual seriousness, and he said with a little ridicule in his tone: "Guys, what are you doing with your face stuffy, this is a famous stadium in the league, I don't feel how enthusiastic the fans here are tonight, look at how nervous they look in this game, you have to be the villain tonight!" ”

When Cory Brewer heard this, he didn't smile at all, but said with a bitter face: "Boss, this joke is not funny at all!" We'll probably not be able to laugh for a while! ”

Head coach Frank Vogel smiled undiminishedly, still quite graceful, and said with a smile: "So what, guys, I understand that the opponent tonight is very strong, and a lot of people are saying that we have no hope of winning, but you know what? Someone is watching you guys! In distant Minnesota! ”

As he spoke, Frank Vogel's voice couldn't help but get louder, he took out a piece of paper covered with data, and said: "You all know, I used to be a video director, and I paid the most attention to the ratings, do you know how many people paid attention to this game in Boston tonight?" Your game is about to begin, and fans across the United States have even given up watching the Cavaliers vs. Lakers to wait for the game to begin! ”

"At this very moment tonight, there are already more than 50 million fans across the United States following the game, you know?" Head coach Frank Vogel suddenly threw out such a shocking news.

The young men of the Timberwolves looked at each other, and their breathing rate couldn't help but be a little faster, as if they were asking: Is this true?

Is this true?

Head coach Frank glanced at everyone, his tone suddenly became a little low, and said slowly: "Tonight, more than 85% of the fans in Minnesota are waiting for the game to start, some of them are old fans who have stuck to the last century, and some are ignorant fans who have just been born this year, but at the moment they are all paying attention to the outcome of this game, do you understand what to do in this game tonight?" ”

There was no blood in his words, and there was no passionate tone, but he woke up everyone who had been a little demoralized before.

"Victory! We just want to win! Li Shihao and everyone looked at each other, their eyes lit up with blazing flames, and they shouted loudly together, the momentum was deafening, and the old Celtics fans in the stands on the side were taken aback.

Not far away, Garnett, who was listening to head coach Rivers' tactical arrangements, noticed the situation here, and a burst of anticipation rose in his heart, it seems that this game is a little interesting.

Frank Vogel clasped his hands around his chest, watched with satisfaction the morale of the young lads under him, and reminded: "We will focus on attacking in this game, remember what we are good at better than them, our strength is attack, whether it is fast attack or positional warfare, we are not afraid of them." ”

"Go on, crush them!"

As soon as the order was given, the Timberwolves stepped on the floor of the arena, and there was more weight in his heart for no reason, Li Shihao gritted his teeth and said, he must win this game tonight, and he will bring tonight's victory back to Minnesota.

The Timberwolves will have a tough game tonight, against a well-known defensive powerhouse in the league, and the Boston Celtics don't want to face the iron-blooded style.

The Celtics' starting lineup is extremely complete, center Perkins, a diligent and down-to-earth interior blue-collar, with tonnage, height, is very persistent in rebounding, and his attitude on the defensive end is also unusually serious.

And what about the power forward, Wolves King Garnett, a superstar who went out of Minnesota, although he is still in his thirties this year, and he is a year older in this league, no one will underestimate him, his ability at critical moments is still terrifying, once the key moment of the game, he may become the most dominant point in the Celtics.

Small forward "Truth" Pierce, the offensive means are the most powerful player at the active No. 3 position, three-point shots, back-to-back singles, breakthrough layups, step-back jumpers, all of which are good at and are good at everything.

His offensive space stretches from the interior to the three-point line, and the most terrifying thing is not his excellent offensive skills, but his terrible offensive nose, which is even the same as Kobe.

Their type of player is always able to throw the basketball into the hoop in the most unlikely of places, with a unique offensive nose, and once they're out of shape, it's a terrible thing.

There's also the cold-blooded shooter Ray Allen, who is cruising on the outside, a cold-looking guy who will definitely stab you when you are most defenseless.

Li Shihao has a heavy and strong fighting spirit in his eyes, this game will not be simple!
