Chapter 200: The Greatest Humiliation
"Kevin, that's good, you're stronger and stronger this year, but you're still not my opponent."
Garnett looked at the opponent in front of him who usually didn't smile, and this time he actually smiled, Garnett thought that he had become a first-class star in the league, there were always a few people who have been embarrassing him, Lakers' O'Neal, Jazz Malone, and Duncan of the Spurs, every time he competes, he will feel powerless, and even let him have a sense of frustration, these people are the away team he must overcome on the road to the first person in the league, but so far, he has not defeated any of them, Although his technical statistics are not inferior to these people, he is at an absolute disadvantage every time in direct dialogue
"Damn, I'm not going to let you score easily again this time," Garnett swore as he looked at Duncan, who was holding the ball in front of him.
"Hey, I can still hold back, it's funny" Duncan looked at Garnett with some surprise at this time, his face was already a little hideous, this time Duncan did not single Garnett, but handed the ball to the little general outside, and now this Spurs Duncan can really not rely on many teammates, except for David Robinson on the inside, it is the little general Johnson on the outside.
However, this goal of the little general Johnson disappointed Duncan, in fact, Duncan's goal was good, Nash's defense was not in place, but it was caught by Duncan in such an instant, but in the end, the little general played iron, just like he did in the playoffs last season, the reason why the Spurs' performance this season is so lower than expected is because they can't do a combination of inside and outside, and now the Spurs are empty inside and out, and the most heartbreaking thing for the Spurs and Vicky is not the reason why the team has no good outside players, The kind of peculiar shrinking defense that the Timberwolves invented in the playoffs last season has now become popular among some of the league's weaker teams. This made the already unlucky Spurs even worse.
"Kevin, good defense," Nash said with a smile and patted Garnett's butt. It was his lack of concentration that almost put Garnett's defense in vain.
"Yes, but it's not enough" Garnett secretly clenched his fist, the defense was not enough, he still wanted to make a difference when attacking.
This season, the Timberwolves' mid-lane blocking tactics have increased a lot because of the changes in Xiao O, and last season's mid-lane blocking was mainly Garnett. This season, Xiao Ao and Garnett can complete the cooperation with Nash, but in this game, Nash is still looking for Garnett, Pierce immediately picked up after receiving Garnett's ball from the free throw line, in the face of Jaren Jackson's defense, Pierce almost regarded him as nothing, just after receiving the ball, one acceleration and then leaning, and another acceleration, this Jaren Jackson was eliminated. It's a hard bite to eat with physical talent, there's no skill to speak of, but the Spurs just can't help it, if it's Elliott who defends Pierce. Then Pierce will definitely not play so easily, although Elliott is not as fast as Pierce, but he does not suffer in terms of strength and height, but it is clear that now the Spurs have no Elliott, Pierce broke through Jackson, and killed the Spurs' basket like last season, at this time it was not Robinson but Duncan who came to make up for the defense, but Pierce didn't know where the confidence came from. actually killed Duncan directly.
"This kid's brute strength has come up again," Zhuang Fei looked at Pierce from the sidelines, and could only shake his head with a wry smile, he wouldn't have a long memory without breaking his head a few times.
"This choice is not very reasonable, if he shoots directly in the middle distance at this time, the hit rate will definitely be higher, so it is obviously not very wise to directly challenge Duncan" Director Zhang of the CCTV live broadcast hall also frowned tightly. …,
"Sure enough, this ball is short," Director Zhang sighed again, and Pierce almost broke through two steps before seeing that he couldn't shake Duncan away. Then he threw the ball in his hand, almost with a great back, and although the ball was high, it was still short. Just when Director Zhang and Teacher Xu were annoyed that the Timberwolves missed a great opportunity. The sudden appearance of the scene almost made them speechless.
Pierce threw the ball into the basket and flew high into the air, David Robinson was already in position, and he was able to easily protect the rebound in the backcourt. That's what his more than a dozen years of career experience has taught him, but just as he jumped up to collect this backcourt rebound. Suddenly, he saw a person jumping up on his side, and this person's hand and his hand grabbed the rebound ball almost at the same time, and the two of them held the basketball tightly in the air, and for a while there were four hands on the basketball.
"Garnett?" David Robinson looked at the person who appeared in surprise, where did this kid fly from? Before David Robinson could be surprised, he heard a shout from Garnett.
"This ball is mine" After saying that, David Robinson felt a strong force on the basketball, and then the ball was out of his control, and he himself leaned forward and lost his balance, Garnett snatched the basketball from David Robinson's hand and did not land, almost gliding to the basket, and then smashed the ball into the basket with both hands. On the other side, David Robinson slammed to the ground almost at the same time, and Duncan looked back and saw this scene that made his expressionless face appear in great astonishment. Even the Timberwolves fans at the scene were all silent when they saw Garnett's dunk that grabbed the rebound and then glided in the air.
"Oh my God, how is this possible? How is this possible? How could human beings have such a strong balance in the sky? Director Zhang almost shouted, he had never seen such a thing in his past few decades, how could a person complete such an action in the air.
"This" Zhuang Fei and D'Antoni were also a little shocked to look at the basket still hanging on the basket Garnett didn't know what to say, this time Garnett hung the basket for a long time and did not receive a technical foul from the referee, because there was still David Robinson lying on the ground, just now David Robinson was almost thrown down by Garnett in the air, and there was no time to choose the posture of landing, and fell directly to the ground.
"David, are you okay" Duncan and the Spurs players all surrounded David Robinson, even Vicky who was on the sidelines was anxious, if there was really no way to lose, this game would be lost, and if David Robinson was injured now, it would be really joyful.
"I'm fine, just bruised, let me get on my stomach" David Robinson smiled wryly and looked up at Duncan, this is the biggest insult he has ever received in his life, he has never been so insulted in his career, Olajuwon has not, Ewing has not, and O'Neal has not. He's really fine, it's really a hard landing injury, just slow down, but now he's really bitter, more bitter than injury.
In the end, Vicky was still not at ease, and replaced David Robinson directly after he stood up.
Originally, the Spurs were at a great disadvantage on the outside in this game, and after having O'Neal Jr., the Spurs' interior offense was not as handy as it was in the playoffs last season, and now with the departure of David Robinson, this almost made the Spurs almost collapse on the court, if it weren't for Duncan's top, the Spurs were probably wiped out in the first quarter.
"Beautiful, Jackson's three-point shot is very stable, and Nash's breakthrough point is very beautiful" Director Zhang shouted happily when he watched Stephen Jackson shoot a three-pointer, this game surprised them too much. …,
The Timberwolves are in surprisingly good condition as a team, and the Spurs are in internal and external difficulties after losing David Robinson, Duncan once carried the Spurs' interior line alone in the regular season last season, but at that time, the Timberwolves' interior line was Lewis and Garnett, and it was Garnett who did not break through to A in terms of ability, but the current Timberwolves interior line is not something Duncan can handle alone.
At the end of the first quarter of the game, the Timberwolves led by 12 points at 30-18, and the Spurs, one of the league's leading defensive teams, allowed the Timberwolves to score 30 points in the first quarter, and they can't defend it at all.
In the second quarter, the bench lineups of the two sides continued to compete, the Spurs' second lineup this season is led by Terry Porter, this swingman was in the Heat last season, and he is also one of the rebels of the Timberwolves, the strength is very good, but it still did not withstand the impact of the Timberwolves, the score of the two sides has become 59-40 at the end of the half, and the Timberwolves have led by 19 points.
"Attack, continue to attack, and then completely defeat them" At halftime, Zhuang Fei had no intention of keeping his hand, even if he wanted to keep his hand in this game, it was estimated that these Timberwolves players who had already killed red eyes could not be kept.
At the beginning of the second half, Vicky saw the Timberwolves on the sidelines still bombarding relentlessly, his heart was almost dripping blood, and this game not only did not overturn the Timberwolves as he expected before the game, but let the Timberwolves abuse them fiercely.
"Greg, do you want David to play now" McBrown reminded on the side, Vicky's face was also changing, and finally he breathed a long sigh of relief, and then shook his head, even if he replaced David Robinson in this game, it would be useless, and he didn't want David Robinson to have an accident in this game.
"If you lose, you lose," Vicky sighed reluctantly, and then sat back on the bench with a blank face.
At the end of the third quarter, the score on both sides had become 90-62, and the Timberwolves had a 28-point lead. The final score of the game was 122-81, with the Spurs losing by 41 points on the road.
"Mr. Greg, we have three more fights in the future, I hope you can surprise me next time"
Looking at Zhuang Fei's playful expression after the game, Vicky almost lost his breath.
"Hmph, we'll see" (Wenchang Academy, your support is my biggest motivation.) )
