Chapter 91 vs. Minnesota Timberwolves (2)

PS: Actually, I think if Yi Di had changed his style and become a little like Garnett, Chinese basketball would not have been so bad.

For Minnesota Timberwolves fans, today was a very happy day. In the target center arena, their team welcomed the Philadelphia 76ers who were very hot during this time, and the Timberwolves also performed very well during this time, this is a game where Mars collides with the Earth. Both fans on both sides and neutral fans are willing to watch it, so this game is broadcast live by TNT, and Luke's dad Bill has been invited to comment.

But today's 76ers don't know if it's because they just came out of the "siege" of the top three in Texas, a little weak, or the Timberwolves are waiting for work and are full of energy, anyway, the performance of the Philadelphia 76ers today is not very good, and they lost as soon as they jumped at the beginning, and then Garnett began to turn over in the 76ers' interior line, whether it is Nazel Mohammed, or Tyrone Hill, or Theo Ratliff, or Ben Wallace, from power forward to center, no one can stop Garnett, how to shoot, how to have, Step-back jumpers and back-to-back jumpers, or breakaways, failed to stop him, and even once Garnett easily shook Tyrone Hill, who was already very experienced, like a rookie, and successfully scored two plus one. There was no rebound, Garnett grabbed more than Big Ben, and almost made the two fight. The blocks are even stronger, and even Luke has been covered by Garnett, who has a keen sense of smell. The inside line was almost pierced.

This is a problem that the Philadelphia 76ers often have. The owner of the Philadelphia 76ers is not an owner who likes to spend money to build a team and wants to win a championship, thanks to Larry's discernment, he found a group of cheap and useful players to support Allen, and finally made it out of the East. This also shows that these players are not bad in the East. But the West is completely different, three of the four centers are in the West, and four of the four forwards are in the West, and the 76ers' interior is not enough to see here. But when this kind of inside line is lost, there is usually one person who stands up, and his name is Allen Iverson.

But today he had some trouble. Before Bruce Bowen and other super defensive players grew up, Allen already had a lot of defensive players that scared him. For example, Gary Payton, Stockton, and a point guard who is now wandering to the Minnesota Timberwolves, and the third person to be selected by the Celtics in the first round in 1997 -

Chauncy Billups. The super-point guard who helped the Detroit Pistons defeat the Los Angeles Lakers in the 2004 NBA Finals and won the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award and the nickname Mr. Bigshot is not having a good time.

He was drafted by the Celtics with the third pick in the first round in the 1997 draft, was traded to the Raptors in 1998, the Nuggets in 1999, the Magic in 2000 and the Timberwolves as a free agent in 2000.

What do you think of when you see this? Yes, this is a player with potential, but he has all kinds of problems that make him unable to integrate into the team, integrate into the system, and improve the team's performance, so he can only be traded or let go. He didn't stay long with the Timberwolves, joining the Pistons as a free agent in 2002. But he still has his own talent, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be the MVP of the finals that Allen has been equivalent to all his life but has never been.

Billups is a good passer and has a variety of attacking methods, especially when it comes to crunch time. Anyone who knows Billups knows that Billups is definitely a "cold-blooded" guy when he plays, and when attacking, he knows how to use his strengths to hit the enemy. When the other party is shorter and thinner than him, he will use his physical advantage to force the other party; And when he encounters opponents who are physically stronger than him but not as fast as him, Billups's speed advantage can be vividly displayed. Billups's best attack is to make a strong shot, and this move has been tried and tested repeatedly, so whenever Billups sacrifices this move, the opponent next to him always has a bitter look on his face and can't cry. Billups is more willing to pass the ball to create scoring opportunities for his teammates in the game than scoring himself, and his pass success rate is very high, and the Pistons are such a team that is not good at offense, and can easily play a fluid offense under Billups' needle lead. Maybe Billups isn't the best in terms of individual events, but he's the best combination of those skills, as he himself says: "I know the game and I can grasp things that no one else will pay attention to, yes, there are a lot of people who are better at scoring than me, and there are a lot of people who are better at passing than me." But no one else can do it all at the same time, except me! ”

Defensively, good luck when Billups has his eye on you, friend, Amen. Billups' defence is absolutely top-notch at the back: quick eyesight, hard shots, high jumps, fast runs, and physical strength (how good that is). Many league guards have suffered from Billups in the game to a greater or lesser extent, and Wade was once convinced by Billups, "Chauncey's defense is really good, especially in critical moments, he is really a terrible person." And by Billups

The star guard who has been "injured" the most is Parker of the Spurs. In 2005, Parker was in full glory before the Finals, but Parker in the Finals was beaten back to his original form under Billups' defense, and under the eyes of the world, he made many mistakes, missed shots repeatedly, and only occasionally relied on a few layups to save some face, so Parker gave the great name "Mr. Key" to Billups after the game. Even the long-established guards in the league, such as Kidd and Nash, can't get anything cheap under Billups' focused care, and often feel that "there is more than enough to be enough", "both Yu and Liang", not to mention Allen, have to admire Billups' defense. Let's hear what Billups' teammates have to say about him. "Man, I told Chauncey that his block was successful because it was like he's in a helicopter," Rashid said with a laugh, "and he jumped so high that if you look at the video of the game, you can see that he's almost jumped over Hughes's shoulder."

This kind of Allen is completely out of play, the offense can't be attacked, the defense can't be defended, and he has to rely on his teammates to fill the position, and after the fill, he loses his position, and he fights big and small, and Allen can't bear it. Although the rest of the 76ers tried their best to catch up, the team's first attacker and the strongest rebounder's first and second hand were completely "sealed", and even if the other players tried hard, there were still many gaps, and finally entered the halftime break with a difference of 25 points.
