Dean Garrett, 1988 n

A second-round pick, after being drafted by Phoenix in the second round, had the same fate as Jackson, and was cut directly, and did not get into N.doulaidu until the year before last.

A chance while he gets into n

A was 30 years old when he was a year, this year Zhuang Fei decided to leave this rebounding ball is not bad inside, which has also become another "solar system" player in Zhuang Fei's lineup, Garrett has a lot of opportunities to play this season, which is related to the lack of Timberwolves inside, in addition to Garnett and Lewis, this season Timberwolves players are concentrated in the outside scoring guard position and small forward position, which also makes the Timberwolves light-headed, light-footed, and big-bellied.

Dean Garrett is not tall, only 2.08 meters, but he has a good sense of rebounding, grabbed 20 rebounds in a single game in his rookie season last season, his nose for rebounds in the front court is very good, and the awareness of secondary offense under the basket is also good, in these two aspects he is more like an interior in the traditional sense than Lewis, In the 1996-1997 season in the Timberwolves, he averaged 8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, and in the 1997-1998 season in the Nuggets, he averaged 7 points and 8 rebounds per game, a very good interior player, and his ability also reached 75, which is much higher than Lewis's 73, but because Zhuang Fei needs the team to have a certain offensive ability at every position, this traditional interior line has been pressed by Lewis. This season he is the Timberwolves' No. 1 interior bench and the only interior bench.

Now the "young" rookie is finally in the middle of proving his own abilities.

"Hahaha, that crybaby was finally replaced, cowards shouldn't be on the basketball court" Knicks fans in the stands scolded even more when they saw Rashad Lewis being replaced. They never considered that Lewis was just a 19-year-old, and maybe the insults could change a person's life, but they didn't care so much.

Now it is the third quarter has been 7 minutes, the score on the court is 80:71, the Timberwolves are behind by 9 points, in fact, if they are just behind by nine points, Zhuang Fei will not be so angry, the Timberwolves are 61:53 in the first half leading by 8 points, but in the third quarter the opponent played a 27-10, in the first half New York played Alan Houston and the Timberwolves to fight for speed, but the effect was extremely poor, at the beginning of the second half, New York began to strengthen the invasion of the inside line, and the effect came out, This style of play in New York has found a soft egg for the Timberwolves - Rashad Lewis, Garnett simply can't carry the gorillas, and Kurt Thomas and Marcus Camby take turns on the inside.

If a team can't even defend the rebounds, what is the point of attacking? In the third quarter, the Timberwolves' offense was fragmented by several inside shots from the Knicks.

"Coach, I"

"Shut up, go to the bench and sit down for me" Zhuang Fei didn't wait for Lewis to finish, he didn't look at Lewis, and directly interrupted Lewis's words, Zhuang Fei is now staring at the field with a serious face, Lewis is the first time to see this head coach he respects so angry, he originally wanted to explain, but seeing Zhuang Fei like this, he was scared again, and retreated, and then listened to Zhuang Fei's instructions and sat back on the bench.

Zhuang Fei shook his head secretly in his heart, originally he expected Lewis to be able to contradict him or explain a sentence or two, at least this can prove that Lewis still has a little blood, but Lewis disappointed him again.

"Dean, yes, that's it, stuck Ewing with foot movement, he's too old to be athletic"

"Kevin, nice job" Dean Garrett played a role as soon as he got on the court, using his footsteps to card Ewing, and then letting Garnett and Curt Thomas grab the rebound, Curt Thomas was inferior to Garnett in terms of strength and bounce, and the Timberwolves finally protected their backcourt rebounds normally. Then Garnett made a long throw, Paul Pierce was already off, and received Garnett's long pass and dunked directly.

None of the New York players expected the Timberwolves to play that hand, and they were all waiting for the interior to grab an offensive rebound and split it for them to shoot a three-pointer, as they did in the first few minutes of the third quarter.

"Well done, Paul" Pierce also slapped with Zhuang Fei on the sidelines when he retreated to the half court to prepare for defense, Zhuang Fei was very satisfied with Pierce's score, he has been instilling a thought to the Timberwolves players at ordinary times, "At any time, don't forget your speed", obviously Pierce did what Zhuang Fei ordered, and did it very well, he also always believed that the Timberwolves would have a chance to go fast, and he had been waiting for such an opportunity, which made him more sensitive than all the players on the court.

It would be great if these newcomers to the Timberwolves were like Pierce, Zhuang Fei couldn't help but sigh. But there is only one Pierce, and even if there are not many players in the United States who have Pierce's experience and city government at this age.

"Cāo, Alain, kill that number 34"

"This 34 is so fucking arrogant"

"**, the Timberwolves are still lagging behind, this Chinese actually dare to celebrate like this"

Zhuang Fei didn't care about the foul language coming from the stands, he was used to standing on the sidelines and directing the players, and he didn't like to call a timeout for some small tactical changes or tactical guidance, and he did the same in college, which seemed to have become a style of his.

Many people compare him with Phil Jackson, neither of them likes to call a timeout, Phil Jackson is the player Jordan who handed over the court to him, Jordan is the head coach on the field, and he himself is on the bench, Zhuang Fei always likes to shout to the court on the sidelines, still and moving, and the contrast is very stark.

"Guys, work harder, we can win this game"

Zhuang Fei didn't want to lose, especially the Knicks, seeing Zhuang Fei's encouragement on the sidelines, the Timberwolves players also increased the intensity of the game, and the fans on the sidelines once again booed loudly.

Zhuang Fei's substitution effect is quite obvious, the Timberwolves quickly got rid of the chaos, the score on the court at the end of the third quarter was 84-78, the Timberwolves temporarily trailed by 6 points, this point difference is not difficult for the Timberwolves who have already started.

Van Gundy is not the kind of head coach who commands on the spot, in the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves chased after the victory, Garnett and Dean Garrett did not rest for a minute, played the fourth quarter, and the Timberwolves only relied on a mid-range jumper from Garnett at the last moment to chase the score to 104 draws. After being substituted in the third quarter, Lewis didn't play for a minute.

The game went into extra time. This is Zhuang Fei entering n

A's first overtime game, of course, was also the Timberwolves' first overtime game of the season.

"Zhuang, why don't you let Lashad go, Dean is dying, after all, he is thirty-two years old" D'Antoni got up and walked to Zhuang Fei's side to remind Zhuang Fei, but Zhuang Fei still stared at the game on the court quietly and ignored him.

Seeing this, D'Antoni could only be helpless, and looked back at Lewis, who was covering his head with a towel and was decadent, and he suddenly felt that Zhuang Fei was too ruthless.

However, seeing Zhuang Fei, who is now on the verge of breaking out, D'Antoni had to sit back on the bench, he is not the head coach of the team after all, and Zhuang Fei is too stubborn.

The Timberwolves ultimately lost the game, losing by two points, 113-115, 9-11 in overtime, and Dean Garrett played 26 minutes and had 13 points and 10 rebounds, including five frontcourt rebounds, shooting six of 8, of course, most of these shots were secondary offenses.

The Timberwolves players were overshadowed by the boos of the Knicks fans throughout the court.

But Zhuang Fei didn't blame the group of players on the field, they really did their best, Zhuang Fei hugged them one by one when they got off the field.

The game ended the Timberwolves' winning streak.
