129. Youth is capital
It turned out that the Rockets made a stupid decision, they used the potential inside line of three first-round picks that year, Eddie Griffin, known as Garnett II, quickly fell into an alcohol problem after entering the league, and it intensified, and the strength on the court was also very stable, averaging 8+6 per game when he entered the league, and he still averaged 8+6 per game in the second year, and in the third year, he was cut because he missed a game of the Rockets because he was drunk, and he didn't find a job all season. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Later, this season, Eddie Griffin really became Garnett II - came to the Timberwolves to play for Garnett, and the average game was still as stable as 8+6, but under Garnett's high pressure, he didn't dare to drink anymore and gradually became a reliable bench bandit.
After Olovo Kandi's three-plate axe was used up and replaced, the Timberwolves began to play normally.
Cassel dribbled past half court and passed the ball to Garnett, who was the real playmaker of the team.
Gerard Wallace defends Garnett in the high post.
Hold the ball like a defender, before Lamar Odom, when someone mentioned the league's big forward dribbling to organize the offense, Garnett would think of him, his ball handling was so good!
Ye Han saw Garnett's casual dribbling, as if he was deliberately attracting the opponent's steal.
Ye Han was about to remind Gerard Wallace to hold steady and not rush, but the latter pounced on the steal as expected, and was directly passed by Garnett's nimble crotch dribble and hit the inside.
After attracting Okafor to make up the defense, Garnett plugged the inside line, and Eddie Griffin hung the frame and dunked it.
With such a well-rounded technical power forward, Garnett is not given for nothing with the league's No. 1 salary.
2-13, the Bobcats had a somewhat ugly start.
Okafor was humiliated repeatedly, sitting directly inside to ask for the ball, which is very rare.
And Ye Han's habitual request for the ball made Blake a little blindsided, did it pass to Okafor on the inside or to Ye Han on the outside?
It's just that Ye Han and Okafor didn't discuss who would come to this ball, because in the past, Ye Han came first, and Okafor didn't like shooting very much, but in the eyes of those who watched the game, it was a contradiction within the Bobcat, and I have to say that the brain is terrible.
Blake saw that it was Garnett who was defending Okafor, and passed the ball to Ye Han, who was much weaker in defense against the opponent.
Now those black Ye Han's sunspots began to rise again, saying that Ye Han is a ball bully, and the inside line is in a good position, but he doesn't give the inside ball.
Garnett was a little surprised, he left Okafor a lot of space, just to attract the opponent to give the ball to the inside, he had a lot of confidence to eat Okafor, a rookie, but the other party still passed to the No. 24, is it really as rumored that the Bobcats have deep contradictions in the team?
Just a few seconds later, Ye Han and Okafor quickly broke the rumor.
Ye Han received the ball and went straight to the basket, and the super-fast first step made Wally Szelbiak, who was defending him, almost turn around and fall to the ground, and Ye Han left Szelbiak far behind.
After entering the free throw line, Ye Han flew up directly and went straight to the basket.
Garnett and Eddie Griffin, the two major blocking experts, both rushed towards Ye Han, and they decided that Ye Han wanted to dunk the ball! Ye Han's dunks have become popular all over the basketball world.
Just when the two of them were about to seal Ye Han, they seemed to see the mockery at the corner of Ye Han's mouth.
Ye Han threw the ball out of the position above the neck when the ball reached the position, but not the basket, but the left back!
Okafor, who had just pulled out a little, received the ball, and at the same time that Ye Han flew out of the bottom line from the gap between Garnett and Eddie Griffin, he dunked the ball into the basket through Garnett!
Buckle Griffin!
The fans at the scene were ignited all of a sudden, and after half a quarter of the game, they were finally able to cheer loudly.
Okafor raised his head to the sky and roared, finally letting out a bad breath!
Although the damn parallel trade champion is not there, there are some regrets.
Ye Han trotted all the way back to his own half, and circled around Okafor halfway, amusing the fans at the scene.
The rumors are self-defeating! Okafor and Ye Han, who have been friends since college, are still in a very good relationship!
The other side is about to rise! Garnett's expression was very serious, and although he still led by 9 points at 13-4, the game had just begun!
Buckled? Garnett is not a little angry, don't look at him as if he is easily excited, and he can anger the opponent at any time on the court, but in fact he is very calm and intelligent, and the end result of his agitated actions and words is often that the opponent is provoked, and then makes irrational moves and is sent off, while Garnett himself is a big technical foul player, but he rarely suffers a big loss.
Garnett was actually a little sad in his heart at this time, the combination of Okafor and Ye Han on the opposite side was more like the combination he and Marbury once had, so young and talented. And these two guys are playing so much better than they were when they were younger, and both could get a taste of the playoffs in their rookie years. And the management of the Bobcats is also powerful, making Garnett more and more disappointed with the management of the Timberwolves.
Garnett's focus on the game is rare in the league, almost all games will watch the opponent's game video before the game, he is envious of the Bobcats' lineup, such a young and potential lineup, the price is so cheap, not to mention Ye Han and Okafor, the two most cost-effective players in the league. Blake has a big heart and an unpretentious autumn breeze that suits the Bobcats, while Capono's three-point talent and Gerard Wallace's versatility and desperate defensive attitude are the envy of Garnett.
Why can a rookie team gather such a starter? The Timberwolves obviously have an advantage over the Bobcats, but they made some devastating moves, not to mention giving away tens of millions of annual salaries for a champion center who averages less than two doubles per game, why do they have to make a yin-yang contract? As a result, there was no new blood joining the team for several years.
Moreover, since they are willing to give Joe Smith, who averaged only 10 points and 4 rebounds per game before coming to the Timberwolves, an annual salary of 10 million, but not give Marbury, who averaged 17+9 per game, a big contract?
It is rumored that Garnett has moved the idea of leaving the Timberwolves, and after tasting the Western Conference finals last season, he is even more difficult to accept the loss, and he is eager to win!
The game continued, and as Garnett expected, as the game deepened, the Bobcats, who were stronger in overall strength, slowly caught up with the score, and the Timberwolves relied on the little advantage created by the outbreak of Olowo Candi at the beginning to be eaten away by the cooperation of Ye Han and Okafor.
Ye Han's first step was too fast, no one on the Timberwolves' side could keep up, and when Ye Han entered the paint area, you couldn't defend it, and you couldn't defend it.
At the beginning of the game, the Bobcat played tactics, so that Garnett's excellent ability to assist in the defense of the penalty area was vividly displayed, and after the pause came back, the autumn wind on the Bobcats' side changed, allowing Ye Han to do it with the ball, forcing Garnett to be unable to show his ability to assist in defense.
