On June 4, 1999, outside the arena of the Target Center, if it was in normal times, it was extremely deserted, or it had been deserted for almost half a month, and it had been nearly half a month since the last time the Timberwolves played here. But now it's different, today is the game, the Timberwolves' home game, and the target center has been surrounded by three layers of fans.

"James, it's all your fault, you have to go to the theater anyway, now it's okay, you missed the Timberwolves game" In this long flow of people, several big men are daring to go to the door of the arena, and now the Timberwolves' game has been going for a long time.

"How can you blame me, don't you all agree, Szebiak that kid exaggerated the drama to the sky, saying that Minnesota not going to Little Broadway is a big loss, but after watching it, it's not very good, and who knows that there is a rule here that you can't leave early" James Posey was also very innocent. I also 'hate' Szzerbiak, who couldn't come to Minnesota for some reason.

"Don't fight yet, hurry up and get in, why are there so many people here, no less than when Wake Forest played before, Tracy, are you okay, don't break up, follow me" Vince Carter was still struggling to kill. Maddie took Carter's hand tightly, but was thinking about something else.

"It would be nice if there were so many people in Toronto who came to watch me play in the future" The mood of Maddie in Toronto is much lower when he thinks about Toronto, which is a Canadian team like the Grizzlies and a newcomer to the league. But now that Toronto has little place in Canada, fans have gone to support the Vancouver Grizzlies, and there are very few fans who come to watch every game in Toronto, and now the team seems to be starting to propose a relocation.

"Vince. What is it like to play in front of more than 20,000 people," Maddie suddenly asked a very strange question. Carter paused, then continued to squeeze forward.

"I don't know what it's like, I just know that in that atmosphere I can leap through everything, I can shatter everything," Carter replied after a brief silence, and Maddie fell silent again.

"Leap over everything, shatter everything? It's so nice," Maddie looked at her cousin in front of her, and her heart was full of envy.

Finally, after a chaotic crowd, the group finally broke through the blockade of the fans outside and then entered the stadium as well. Fortunately, they have Zhuang Fei's free tickets, otherwise according to such a situation, how could they sell tickets?

"I don't know how the score is now, who is ahead of the coach or Tim" The group came to the arena with great anticipation. When I found my seat, I was quickly stunned by the score of the live scoreboard.

"How is this possible? How could this be the case with the Timberwolves? Ragabel was almost speechless in shock.

At halftime, the Timberwolves trailed by 19 points at 20-39 and scored only 20 points in the half, which is the half score of the strongest offensive team in the NBA? He knows all too well what kind of manager he is. That's an offensive maniac with 20 points at halftime? Is this the coach's team?

It's halftime now, so it's very chaotic, plus the Timberwolves are down by a big score. The Timberwolves fans at the scene were also a little depressed, and no one noticed that there were more of them now.

"What the hell happened in this half? The Spurs won't beat the Timberwolves like this no matter how strong their defense is, right? Carter frowned tightly. The face sank terribly, and so did the others.

"Huh. Carter, you are Vince Carter" Su skirt and the CCTV film crew are very entangled today, it stands to reason that they are now in the locker room of the Timberwolves, but seeing this situation, it is not good for them to go in again, because it is obvious that there is a problem within the Timberwolves, so they also consciously gave up the plan to enter the locker room of the Timberwolves, just when they were bored in their seats, they suddenly found that there were a large number of people in the empty seats next to them, and Su Skirt quickly found Vince Carter in this group of people.

"Are you Chinese? Journalists? Carter looked down at the sign on Su's chest and said, "Can you tell us what happened in the first half of this game?" ”

Su Skirt looked anxious when she saw Carter, then shook her head and smiled bitterly: "I don't know what to say, this game was very strange from the beginning"

"Strange?" Carter muttered. Su skirt nodded and continued: "The starting lineup of the Timberwolves in this game is simply a big change, the center is Dean Garrett, the forwards are Lewis and Pierce, and the guards are Mobley and Jackson, Garnett didn't appear on the court for a minute in the first half, you say it's not strange, now everyone is speculating about what happened to the Timberwolves." ”

"Garnett didn't play in the first half?" Carter and the others looked at Su Skirt in extreme shock, Su Skirt was a little hairy by them, and finally nodded fiercely again. After Su Skirt's reconfirmation, Carter also sighed.

"No wonder the Timberwolves scored only 20 points in the first half, and it's not easy for a team that doesn't have an interior pivot to score against the Spurs."

The Timberwolves' locker room, the atmosphere is very depressing, Pierce's eyes are almost blood-red, this game is a game for him and Garnett, the coach said, he will not make any arrangements in this game, hand over the game to him and Garnett, Pierce is responsible for the first half, Garnett is responsible for the second half, they can choose the most suitable lineup for themselves, and can perform all the responsibilities of the head coach in their own half, so the Timberwolves have that strange lineup, Nash and Garnett did not appear in the starting lineup. Garnett will definitely not be able to appear in the lineup led by Pierce, and as for Nash, Pierce thinks that it is not necessary at all, and it is good for him to control the overall situation of the Timberwolves in this game, and he himself will play the role of organizing the forward corner.

This lineup, which he considered full of passion and attacking power, and could even beat the Spurs, only scored a measly 20 points in the first half, and he himself scored only 7 points on 3-of-17 shooting.

"Is Garnett really that important? I'm not reconciled, I'm really not reconciled" Pierce is now very conflicted in his heart, his persistence has been shattered by this game.

"No, it's not my reason, it's just that the Spurs' defense is too strong" No matter how he comforted himself, Pierce couldn't look up at Zhuang Fei head-on, this humiliation was the biggest after he was traded, even bigger than being traded. Now that he was immersed in his own world, he had no time to know what was going on outside.

"Kevin, have you decided on your lineup? Now the second half of the game will start soon" Zhuang Fei said lightly to Garnett, he did not regret this decision, but seeing Pierce who was buried in pain, Zhuang Fei's heart was also very uncomfortable, this is a proud young man, I hope he can really improve from now on.

Garnett was also thinking, Pierce's embarrassment in the first half gave him a great shock, he hoped that Pierce would not be able to play well, this is human nature, since it is a gamble, he naturally does not want his opponent to play well, but he really did not think that Pierce would play so badly.

Now it's his turn, and he, like Pierce, now has to face the Spurs, and Garnett now feels incredible thinking about the contempt for the Spurs some time ago.

"What kind of lineup are you going to choose? There must not be another situation like Pierce, not only do I have to beat the Spurs, but I have to convince Pierce of the loss" Garnett lost again.

The Timberwolves' halftime was spent in Garnett's reflections and Pierce's pain

"What the hell happened to the team, why didn't Kevin and Steve play, did they both get hurt? It's not right, there is no news about their injuries recently, it won't be like the media reported, Kevin, Paul had a conflict with the coach and was banned, but today it was Kevin and Steve, Paul is still playing"

"Cāo, don't ask me, how do I know, all I know now is that we were fucked by those spurs in the first half"

"I don't know what Coach Z will do in this game, I don't expect to win this game now, I just want to know what happened to our team, it's so good, why did it suddenly become so weird"

Timberwolves fans in the stands asked each other about each other, but they didn't get any useful news.

"Vince, I'm afraid Tim will win this game, if this series Tim kid can really beat the coach, I think he will be very happy, I really envy that kid," James Posey said with a look of longing.

"Is this game a win for Spurs? Perhaps, but can Tim really beat the coach? Carter had a question mark in his heart, the coach was invincible in their hearts, and even for a long time Carter didn't dare to think that someone in the world would be able to beat him, but after entering the NBA, he understood that there are some things that the head coach may not be useful no matter how great he is, and he also had the idea of beating that person, and he can win the league championship while beating him, but it is really difficult to achieve, in his opinion, the strength of the Timberwolves is not much stronger than the Grizzlies, Garnett is about the same as Rahim, Maybe Garnett is a little stronger, and Pierce and himself, he can say very contemptuously that 8 times out of ten can beat Pierce, the first 50+ in his life was won when he defeated Pierce, and as for the other players of the Timberwolves, they are just a group of miscellaneous fish that other teams don't want, such a Timberwolves actually finished second in the league in the regular season and reached the Western Conference finals in the playoffs.

"Am I going to be jealous if Tim can really beat the coach?" Carter smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Come out, the Timberwolves and Spurs come out, see what changes they have in the second half" At this time, Carter also looked at the player tunnel with the voice, and the two familiar figures also appeared in his eyes.
