The plane landed at St. Paul International Airport in Minneapolis, our second stop in the Midwest Division, where we were going to face the Minnesota Timberwolves.

I took the gloves off my hand, blew on the hot air twice, and put them back on, it was even colder than Jazz's Salt Lake City. I had to be taken aback by that. level cold weather.

Thankfully, I didn't freeze outside for long, as the league bus quickly drove us to our destination, the Target Center Arena, where we would rest for most of the day and take on the Timberwolves in the evening.

Back-to-back games are difficult to play, and away back-to-backs are even more difficult to play, and the physical problems combined with the lack of adaptation to the environment have resulted in a back-to-back win rate of only 16.3% in history, and the game against the Timberwolves is one such game. Yesterday we were in Salt Lake City, Utah, and now we have run to Minneapolis, Minnesota, although we are flying, but the long journey consumes too much body, coupled with the temperature in Minneapolis City as low as minus 14 degrees, we feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Warm up! Be sure to warm up well! "Doug Collins keeps reminding us.

The lights went out, the players streamed out in the spotlight, and every player was cheered on enough, except that the DJ always called the visiting team players by name.

Michael Jordan pulled us and kept yelling at us to do our best to move, and we moved our bodies, this is not a joke, just now we were wearing thick cotton clothes, our bodies were stiff, if we didn't move our bodies, it is estimated that the lightest punishment is also muscle strain.

Everyone's bodies were sweating, and Doug Collins rallied everyone to the final tactical arrangements.

Wizards: Brandon Haywood, Kwame Brown, Hubert Davis, Richard Hamilton, Michael Jordan

Timberwolves: Ralph Nestrovich, Kevin Garnett, Joe Smith, Wally Szczebiak, Chauncey Billups.

Veteran Pistian Leitner felt unwell again, and the game was canceled, and Brandon Haywood got it, and when Brandon Hywood I had to play power forward, no way, Brandon Haywood's family would only play center.

Jump Ball!

Kevin Garnett and I stood in the center circle. It's ridiculous, both of us are power forwards, and the center is supposed to jump the ball, but both of us are power forwards to do this, although I'm a bit of a pseudo-center.

The whistle blew and the ball was tossed, the moment the ball stopped rising. I jumped. Kevin Garnett jumped before my eyes. We both stretched out our arms to shoot the basketball.

I had stopped flying into the air, but the guy in the number 21 jersey was still rising, and I tried to straighten my waist and stomach, trying to stay in the air a little longer so that the basketball could touch my hand, but it was all in vain.

The basketball was photographed by Kevin Garnett, and Chauncey Billups got the basketball.

I ran to the backyard as fast as I could, looking back at the big, skinny man, and I felt like I was in trouble, yes! A big problem, bigger than Tim Duncan.

Tim Duncan, although he swings steadily, but it is undeniable that Tim Duncan's bounce is really bad, while Kevin Garnett is different, although Kevin Garnett's body is relatively thin and slightly thin, but it is undeniable that his bt bounce is really amazing. My bounce is already very good, my run-up touch can reach 391, and Kevin Garnett is even better, he once touched the top edge of the rebound ten times in a row during the summer training camp in 1995, and the height of the top edge of the rebound was 395 cm.

The bounce, flexibility, and reach that make me proud of myself don't have the slightest advantage in front of Kevin Garnett, the only thing that is stronger than him is my size and strength, but it also makes my turn can be blown into scum by Kevin Garnett.

The ball is passed to Kevin Garnett.

1 to 1.

At the top of the arc, I stood face to face in front of Kevin Garnett, lowering my weight and bending over, carefully guarding against Kevin Garnett's attack.

Kevin Garnett held the ball, smiled at me, his snow-white teeth were a little dizzy, and then said very elegantly: "Welcome to the NBA, welcome to Minneapolis!" ”

Then he leaned forward with his right shoulder, then quickly pulled back, jumped, lifted the ball over his head, and threw the basketball high!

I was caught by Kevin Garnett's words, and then my right shoulder leaned forward and shook my weight away, and I couldn't interfere with his jump shot!

"Huh!"

The sound of a basketball rubbing against a net.

This should be garbage talk! Because he's interfering with me.

Unlike Duncan, who has a poker face that never changes, Kevin Garnett's passion and trash talk are also among the best in the NBA. Even when Tim Duncan, a psychology student, meets the Timberwolves, Garnett's chanting-like trash talk often makes Stone Buddha miss both punishments.

What made Garnett's trash talk famous was after Elson, who hit Garnett in the face with a big elbow in the Nuggets in 2oo4, was nearly drowned by Garnett's spittle. His trash talk is even better than his blocks, and his stumbling trash talk has made the likes of Calderon and Luke Redno suffer enough.

"Don't get distracted! Cheer up! Michael Jordan said as he picked up my ball.

I ran to the front court and the Timberwolves were ready defensively. I stood at the top of the arc, constantly moving around, pulling at the opponent's defense. Kevin Garnett followed behind me unhurriedly, neither far nor close, but the very rhythmic pace showed that I was in his control, he seemed to be a giant wolf playing with the prey that had already been reached, and if I dared to break free, he would definitely bite me in the throat as soon as I dared to break free.

Michael Jordan took advantage of his height to throw the ball over Chauncey Billups' head and then quickly kicked off, passed Chauncey Billups, passed me to my side, and took the basketball that had been in my hand for less than a second.

Michael Jordan entered the paint zone, but Wally Szczebiak and Ralph Nesterovic had put in the way of him, and Garnett turned around, and the three men sandwiched Michael Jordan in the middle.

Michael Jordan, leaping high and throwing the ball into the hands of Richard Hamilton, who was already in absolute space.

Half-step position inside the three-point line! Richard Hamilton, standard mid-range shot, basketball! The score is equalised.

The Timberwolves seem to have made a big mistake, and Michael Jordan used a three-man bag when he broke through to the paint, which was the first time this season. It seems that the Timberwolves take this game seriously, but they also have to pay attention to this game, and now that the Timberwolves are in ninth place in the West, they are still outside the playoff threshold, and they must fight for a playoff spot.

Chauncey Billups hoisted the ball to Kevin Garnett at the top of the arc, and I immediately opened my arms, lowered my center of gravity, and pressed my chest against Kevin Garnett's back to prevent him from turning. He can't turn around, he can't shoot, he only has to break through.

Kevin Garnett didn't break through, he wasn't the kind of person who had to hold the ball, he squeezed me with his back, felt my strength, and then passed the ball to Wally Szzambiak near the bottom corner, Szzambiak took the ball and used his power to shoot straight inside along the baseline, and Hubert Davis followed his pace closely, not allowing him to make a light shot.

Kevin Garnett pulled to the left, I followed, but I didn't go outside, I watched Kevin Garnett's video on the plane, he didn't pose any threat outside the three-point line, and if I went out with him again, it would only empty the interior and let the opponent attack the basket directly.

Although Wally Szzerbiak was white, his strength was too much for him to do against Hubert Davis, and after two or three strikes, Hubert Davis was powerless against Wally Szambiak.

Szebiak faced Brandon Haywood's baseline defense, leaned outward, stepped past Brandon Haywood's defense, rolled over, jumped, dunked, and did it in one go.

I was late to the defense, and I had just run into the paint area to watch Wally Szzerbiak perform.

The audience cheered!

But the whistle didn't blow!

The referee looks at the referee on the baseline.

The referee in charge of the baseline signals that the goal is valid!

hat?

Brandon Haywood went straight to the referee and signaled the ball just now, and Szzerbiak stepped on the bottom line.

"Sir, that ball has stepped on the bottom line? I'm pretty sure he's out of the line! His body was completely deformed......" Brandon Haywood explained as he demonstrated.

"It's not out of bounds! I swear I'm definitely not out of bounds! Wally Szzerbiak raised his palm to swear to God, but he did not swear that God would punish him if he stepped on the line.

Michael Jordan hit me with his hand, then nodded to the referee, and said, "You're so close, you must have seen if he was out of bounds, why don't you talk to the referee about it......"

I was stunned for a moment, and then quickly understood what Jordan meant, I hurriedly trotted to the referee's side, and said in a louder voice: "Mr. referee, I saw it, he definitely stepped on the bottom line, there is no doubt about it, he must have stepped on the bottom line......"

"Mr. Referee, just think about it, Brandon is standing here, how can he come straight up? If he hadn't come from outside, how could he have stepped on the line? He's definitely on the line! I can swear! ”

・・・・・

"I was on the bottom line at the time, I swear, Wally definitely didn't step on the line, both of my eyes are 5.2, I swear, I see clearly, Wally is definitely not out of bounds!" Joe Smith put pressure on the referee on the other side.

The referee motioned for the replay. That's better. You can watch the replay when there is a controversial penalty in the NBA, unlike football, where everything the referee says, even if the referee is wrong, it is right!

The three referees walked up to the technical statistics table and began to watch the replay. The players, who had just played more than a minute, returned to the bench.

Replays of footage also began on the big screen.

However, the first camera on the back of the rebound was clearly blocked by Wally Szczebiak himself. The second shot on the left side of the court was blocked by Hubert Davis, and the third shot on the right side was coincidentally blocked by Ralph Nesterovic of the Timberwolves.

One shot after another was brought up, and none of the shots could clearly show the relationship between Wally Szzerbiak's foot and the baseline when he broke through!

Minutes and seconds passed.

The referee is starting to get a little anxious too.

Several referees discussed it for a while without a conclusion.

A referee walked to the baseline and asked a few reporters near the baseline at the time. After that, several reporters began to pull up the photos they had taken.

Finally, the referee laughed!

A photo of the linkage scene that clearly shows the scene of the breakthrough of Szzerbiak has been found!

The edge of Wally Szebiak's shoe is just connected to the bottom line.

Not out of bounds!

The goal works!
