Chapter 331: A Lifetime Rival
(Recently, many book friends have been discussing Zhuang Fei's future path, and there are also many book friends who think that Zhuang Fei should build a team with no history into a giant like the Celtics or Lakers, which is actually a very good idea, but don't you think this goal is too small for Zhuang Fei?) In history, cardinals have done it, Zhuang Fei's goal is definitely not to copy the cardinal's path, Zhuang Fei has his own special path, since he is the protagonist, then he must have the consciousness of becoming the only one or a special one)
(In the end, the fisherman asks for a ticket again.) Ball Recommendation Ticket)
"Tim, I've been looking forward to this matchup for the past three years, it's the first time we've been on the same level."
"I'm going to beat you this time."
Garnett looked at the sleepy-eyed and combative top inside line of the league in front of him and said lightly, when Zhuang Fei took him to Wake Forest University three years ago and asked him to apprentice with Duncan, he knew that this would come sooner or later, but in the face of Garnett's aggressive eyes, Duncan still had no change in expression, just looked at Garnett's eyes and blinked, and then calmed down again. Garnett didn't care about Duncan like this, he knew that this was Duncan's character.
When the referee threw the ball, Garnett and Duncan jumped up almost at the same time, Garnett had an absolute advantage in the jump ball, but when Garnett actually jumped, it was really startling.
"It's so high," Michaels in the commentary seat said in surprise as he looked at Garnett, who had already escaped. He knew Garnett was likely to beat Duncan on jumpball, as Garnett's record in the regular season was 80-2 this season. No. 1 in the league, but he really didn't expect Garnett to be a head taller than Duncan.
"It's the first time I've been running at full power. It's so cool" Garnett thought to himself secretly after falling from the air after giving the racket to the team's guard Nash, at this time the Timberwolves were extremely excited in their hearts and did not have a trace of reservation. In this insider's mind, this game is the complete defeat of Duncan. There is no need to have any reservations anymore.
The Timberwolves' first wave of offense was slow, not using Minnesota as fast as usual, and Nash received the ball from Garnett and pushed steadily to the frontcourt. The current Timberwolves are also different from before, and the former Timberwolves can only play fast. Nash can only play his strength in a fast-paced manner, and the Timberwolves at that time were pure speed-based run-and-shoot, judging success or failure by speed, and if the speed outperforms the opponent, then the game will be won. In the past, the Timberwolves' running and bombing was also very limited, but now, the Timberwolves are still running and bombing, but they are not pursuing absolute speed, but they are beginning to slowly change speed, slow and fast, fast and slow, which is also caused by Nash's growth, and now Nash has reached the master level in the control of the rhythm, which also makes the Timberwolves' offense look more layered and organized. Although the pure speed has decreased, it is still able to finish an attack within 10s, and the success rate is better.
So when Vicky saw Nash slowly advancing, he didn't show any joy, he is naturally very clear about the changes of the Timberwolves in recent years, he is a witness to the growth of the Timberwolves, and he knows that such a Timberwolves with their own rhythm will be more terrible on the offensive end. So the Spurs head coach has been frowning since the start of the game.
When Nash advanced with the ball, the Spurs point guard Johnson did not dare to be careless, although Nash is very slow now, and his whole body has no intention of starting, but he does not dare to slack off on the point guard who is currently the most popular in the league. Keep an eye on the basketball in his hand. …,
Johnson, the little general, was observing Nash, and Nash was observing the movement of all the Timberwolves players, and when he saw that all the Timberwolves players had settled in advance, Nash's eyes lit up, and then he threw the ball in his hand high.
"What, preparing for an air relay so far away?" The little general Johnson saw that Nash threw the ball out in the middle of the middle circle and the top of the three-point arc, and naturally knew why, but this distance is a bit far away, and it is not suitable for air catch, and more importantly, the Spurs have two absolute heights, Duncan and the Admiral, in the past, the Admiral and Duncan formed the inside line is the league's no-fly zone, although the Admiral is now old, and his mobility and athleticism are definitely not as good as before, but there is no problem for this Admiral to sit under the basket, and the game has just started at this time, Everyone's defense is focused, so what chance will the Timberwolves have in the air at this time? So this ball doesn't make sense no matter how you look at it. So after Nash passed the ball, the junior general Johnson was also very much looking forward to it, and he looked back and prepared to see this mistake. It's going to be a mistake.
Pierce is very excited today, especially after seeing that he is opposite Elliott, in fact, Elliott has been thinking about retiring recently, this veteran has long been less powerful after kidney surgery, but because the team is really no one, Vicky did not let him retire, this is actually Elliott's last year, even if Elliott keeps him after this year, he is not ready to play again. In fact, now Elliott is very helpless when he sees Pierce, this young man doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young, he is completely leaning on himself, and now he is only in a state of no ball, this guy has already begun to fight physically, as a veteran who is about to forty, how can he still carry the whole game with the young man? So on the court, Elliott and Pierce staged a fun game of cat and mouse, with Pierce chasing Elliott and Elliott trying to dodge.
"Hey, good opportunity" Pierce's eyes lit up when he saw Elliott retreating again, and he quickly gave up Elliott and went directly to the basket, and Elliott was relieved to see Pierce leave, but soon the veteran regretted it.
