Tom Gugliotta saw Takemichi's consecutive goals, and immediately there was no way to continue to calm down. The management is sitting on the sidelines and watching, is it okay to be beaten like this by a high school student?

What if the bosses were happy to see it and had the idea of bringing this kid to the team to rebuild? 、

Tom Gugliotta already had such concerns in his heart after seeing Martial Arts' performance. Something like this is not uncommon in the NBA, because of a brilliant rookie, and the whole team is regrouping around that rookie.

In the NBA, there is no shortage of players, but there is a shortage of superstars in the truest sense of the word.

Tom Gugliotta still knows and understands himself, and he has been in the NBA for a few years, and he has long passed the age of secondary two, and he doesn't think that he may change his life and become a superstar.

He just wants to play in the NBA team safely, brush up on his dazzling statistics when the game comes, and then receive his salary and spend his career steadily.

Dreams or something, it's not important to him anymore, what matters is salary, it's life!

If a player like Wu Dao really comes to the Timberwolves one day, once a player like him can't fit Wu Dao perfectly, he will probably be kicked out immediately to make room for salary reinforcement

The inexplicable sense of urgency that rose in his heart made him put pressure on his teammates.

Garnett, the freshman who just graduated from high school, is such a "character".

In fact, Tom Gugliotta still underestimates himself, his ability is still favored by the management, even if he really wants to make salary space for reinforcements, he is also an indispensable presence for the Timberwolves.

The technical aspect is remarkable, and the usual personality and personality are not bad.

As a white player, Tom Gugliotta's consistency is much better than that of other players. And Tom Gugliotta is in his playing year, and his salary is reasonable among players of the same level.

Tom Gogliotta has defense, he has scorers, and his all-round approach to management is the most indispensable person for the team before Garnett really grows up!

If Garnett doesn't develop into a great player as the management expected, then Tom Gugliotta will be the real "core" of the team!

In the middle of the court, Garnett, who was reprimanded by the team boss, glanced back at Tom Gugliotta, and then turned his head to look at the martial arts who returned to defend without saying a word.

Garnett, who has just entered the NBA, is a little afraid and cowardly, he has just graduated from high school, and suddenly entered the "society" of the NBA, and it is natural that Garnett is a little uncomfortable and silent.

But in fact, all the people who play basketball, but all the black people, are very few introverts.

Garnett is a single parent, he also has a younger sister, his parents have parted ways when he was very young, he has lived with his mother since he was a child, and then his mother could not bear the pressure of raising two children and married again.

It's just that Garnett's stepfather is not very good to Garnett and his siblings.

Garnett's upbringing made Garnett a person who can read faces, and at the same time, his self-esteem also made him develop a sharp character.

It's just that this sharpness will only be revealed on some occasions. For example, when his self-esteem is humiliated.

Sensitive, sharp, that's what Garnett is now.

Tom Gugliotta's words did not sting Garnett's self-esteem, and he responded to Tom Gugliotta on the surface, and his heart was already full of war spirit at this time.

He absolutely does not allow himself to be underestimated, and does not allow a high school student who did not even participate in the draft to be so "active" in front of him as an NBA player.

Pick up your feet and run briskly towards the frontcourt.

Wu Dao settled early to defend, his defensive target was not fixed, their white team played 23 joint defense, he was just one of the outside joint defense system.

Garnett quickly crossed over to Takemichi's side and ran towards the inside.

From Garnett's body, Wu Dao could clearly feel that the opponent's aura had changed slightly. The players in the stadium have this kind of "metaphysical" qi induction.

I can't say why, but it's real.

And Wu Dao, who noticed this change, also glanced at Garnett a few more times, and stood towards the inside line, ready to wrap Garnett's buddy at any time.

Soon, the green team entered the front court with the ball, and after several transmissions of the basket, it was really given to Garnett, who was in the low post to carry the basket.

The basketball starts, Garnett smashes the ball and hits it back, and after an impact, it is followed by another physical confrontation.

Garnett's physical fitness is very good, but against the 113KG Sean Lukes, rookie Garnett has no advantage at all.

After two consecutive back shots, he couldn't take a step towards the basket, and at this time, Wu Dao also quickly entered the inside line and sandwiched towards Garnett's bag.

Sensing Takemitsu's arrival, Garnett quickly turned around with the ball after another blow-up, and at the same time, Takedo and Shaun Lukes quickly formed a two-man defense on Garnett's left side. The two elders raised their arms, directly obscuring Garnett's vision.

However, at this time, Garnett, who was playing high, suddenly collected the ball, bent his waist and passed the ball directly from Takemi's side, although Takedo reacted quickly and turned directly to the basketball, but after all, he was still a step slower.

The basketball went straight to Terry Burt from beyond the three-point line.

This is a 191cm tall guard line player who was able to average 25 minutes per game in the 95-96 season, contributing 2.8 three-point attempts and 0.9 three-point effective points

Terry Burt, who received the ball in the open space outside the three-point line, adjusted slightly and shot straight out.

"Bell~~~"

The basketball flew quickly towards the basket, a parabola with almost no arc, which also made Takeshi realize the possibility that the ball did not score.

With a crisp sound of striking iron, Garnett's wonderful pass was wasted.

Wu Dao and Sean Lux directly gave Garnett a front and back pinch, the strength of the two made Garnett unable to jump, and the falling basketball was also grabbed by Wu Dao, and then quickly passed to the front court.

It can only be said that it is worthy of the Timberwolves, the starting lineup of this team is not very good, and it is difficult to expect the players on their bench to play effectively.

The White team tried to play a fast attack, but as the Green team players quickly returned to the defense, they declared bankruptcy.

The Timberwolves are very even, not only the bench players, but also the rookies selected this year except for Garnett.

One by one in the frontcourt, in the face of Terry Burt who returned to the defense, Jeromy Allen's buddy actually went straight to nothing, did not choose to be strong, but stopped immediately when he was approaching the free throw line and was caught up, turned around and returned to the three-point line with the ball to wait for his teammates to arrive.

Martial Arts was no longer ready to run towards the front court, but after seeing Jeromy Allen stop, Martial Arts looked stunned, and then quickly moved towards the front court.

It's no wonder that after the brother was drafted by the Timberwolves in '95, he was packaged and traded to the Indiana Pacers in '96 the following year, and went to the Denver Nuggets before the Pacers did not sit for a full season. The Nuggets in the 96-97 season can also be regarded as a fish belly team.

Can't get into the playoffs, isn't it a fish belly team?

Jeromy Allen played 25 games while with the Nuggets, averaging 10 minutes per game, which was a little better than the leftovers.

And then

Then at the end of the season, he didn't appear in the NBA again!

Jeromy Allen's NBA journey is actually a portrayal of the vast majority of second-round picks.

Immediately after entering the frontcourt, Takeshi beckoned to Jeromy Allen at the top of the arc and motioned for him to pass.

This guy doesn't act at all, so many leaders on the field are watching, no matter how he says it, he is a second-round show, and in the face of Wudao's request, he didn't hesitate at all, and actually gave the ball directly to Wudao.

Although getting the ball gave Takeshi a chance to perform, Takeshi glanced at Jeromy Allen strangely at this moment, and he was a little strange, what qualities did the Timberwolves have a crush on Jeromy Allen?

In Wu Dao's view, such a player is not suitable for the NBA stage at all.

What Wu Dao doesn't know is that the management is also the tallest of the short, compared to other players who are obviously second-round picks, but have a look of "my worst dick", Jeromy Allen is a very "reasonable" player who plays.

He at least knows who to give the ball to, and his conduction skills and ball control skills are quite solid, and Jeromy Allen has good speed, plenty of energy and a dare to defend hard, which is his value.

In the NBA, he can at least dribble the ball through the half court and give the ball to the players who should give it, which is better than many guards in a large eastern country.

Yes, I'm talking about Ah San.

Starting with basketball, Garnett also came directly to the top of the arc to face Martial Arts, and the defenders came up, and Martial Arts also expelled the messy thoughts out of his mind, holding the ball with both hands, sinking between his legs, and moving his left foot quickly to the left, briefly testing Garnett's defensive tendencies.

Garnett was not affected by the false shaking of the martial arts, but quickly posted up and came to a sticker. Wu Dao also dropped the ball quickly, and at the same time, he slightly sideways and pressed one hand against Garnett's chest.

As the team boss "pointed out", Garnett's defense this time began to make it "difficult" for the martial arts.

The ball protector supported by Takedo was quickly overwhelmed by Garnett, and instead of standing in place and waiting for his opportunity, Takemichi quickly took two steps along the three-point arc towards the right corner after sensing Garnett's intentions.

Jeromy Allen realized that he might be limiting the "exertion" space of martial arts, and immediately sank to the bottom corner, and the defenders were also carried out of the horn position by him.

"Idiot!" On the sidelines, Coach Beal couldn't help but curse when he saw that Terry Porter actually followed Jeromy Allen to the bottom corner.

In his opinion, at this time, he should cooperate with Garnett to wrap up the martial arts.

What if Takeshi gave the ball to Jeromy Allen? Will Jeromy Allen still be able to shoot the ball? It's better to let the martial arts vote, it's better to let Jeromy Allen vote!

However, the people on the field obviously couldn't hear Coach Bill's low scolding.

The entire three-point line on the right side was empty, and Wu Dao suddenly had no scruples.

At the moment when he stopped quickly and stopped, the basketball fell directly in front of Wu Dao's feet, and he quickly completed the change of direction.

The moment he grabbed the ball with his left hand, Wu Dao's right foot stabbed towards the right front, and at the same time, the basketball also quickly hit the ground, and the crotch dribble quickly completed the change of hands.

In the next moment, Wu Dao's left foot stepped directly on Garnett's left side, and in the blink of an eye, Wu Dao had completed a continuous reversal, and his body was directly level with Garnett.

"Smack!" Dropping the ball again, Wu Dao had already thrown Garnett nearly half a meter away, and quickly sprinted towards the basket.

And it wasn't until the martial arts began to pick up speed that Garnett just turned around and chased after him.

The two themselves already have a position gap, one has begun to accelerate, and the other has just started, this gap is destined for Garnett to be unable to catch up with the martial arts.

"Huh?!" After taking a few steps towards the inside line, Tom Gugliotta's figure quickly blocked in front of Martial Dao, and he seemed to have expected Garnett to be unable to block Martial Dao, so he quickly made up for it from the side.

At the same time, Andrew Long, who was guarding the inner line, also quickly filled the position, and the two formed a blockade wall in front of Martial Arts in an instant.

Behind Martial Arts, Garnett was also chasing quickly.

The three of them quickly formed a flanking attack on Martial Dao.

Looks like a bluff.

Wu Dao thought so in his heart, Wu Dao did not slow down, and when he quickly approached Andrew Long and Tom Gugliotta, he exploded the ball, and quickly held the ball with his left hand and turned around, directly near the baseline, at a negative angle to the basket.

However, Wu Dao didn't care at all, he jumped back directly after closing the ball, and his body hovered briefly in the air when he jumped to a high point with both hands, and at the same time, the basketball in his hand was also quickly thrown.

The basketball flew past Andrew Long and Tom Gugliotta, and then the ball was about to cross the top edge of the rebound, and a large arc of parabola appeared in front of the eyes of everyone on the court.

In the next second, the basketball fell steadily into the net from top to bottom, making a crisp sound.

"Whew!!"

The voice reached everyone's ears, and the expressions of the two defenders were also fixed on their faces.

"This can also go in?!"

On the side of the court, "Layman" owner Glenn Taylor clenched his fists and couldn't help but stand up and let out a low shout.

Next to him, Philip Saunders and Kevin McHale, who saw Takemichi's goal, frowned at first, and then quickly relaxed.

It's not reasonable to play, so what?

The same ball is played by different players, and the evaluation is different.

Martial arts are now regarded by them as a rising star, a giant planet, and it is reasonable to be able to enter. Of course, this is not the case for another person, and labels such as solo and unreasonable play will naturally be attached to the players.

The game has been played so far, a high school student in martial arts frequently scores on their heads, and looking at the appearance of martial arts, the more casual they play, the more they play, the more open they are, and now this high school student dares to shoot in the face of three-person defense, and the players of the green team are aware that their defense does not seem to be taken into account.

The players who were aware of this knew they had to make a change.

They can no longer rely on Garnett's single defense to limit their opponents, this high school student is definitely an NBA-level scorer!

When Takeshi turned back to defense, Tom Gugliotta waved at several teammates, and after a few people got closer, he quickly adjusted his defensive plan and switched to joint defense.

They need to let the youngsters know what NBA-level defense is!

When Martial Arts returned to defense, he noticed the opponent who was whispering, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Why did you go earlier?"

"A person who wants to stop me? He's Garnett, not Jordan, and Jordan has to be dipped twice by me when Jordan comes! ”

Wu Dao, who played smoothly, was full of confidence at this time, and threw such a fairy ball under such a defense, Wu Dao now feels that Jordan can pass it himself.
