Faced with the same question, Cato said, "If you think we're farming, we are!" ”

Oh!

The scene was amazed.

Cato really dare to say it!

The reporters were excited, there was news.

Su Qun, who was sitting in the audience, was also surprised when he held a small notebook.

Jones and Coach Dafan looked at each other, but ultimately did not try to stop Cato.

Cato continued: "After the last game, someone said Stone was brushing the stats. I'm just trying to tell those people, don't you even know what a brush data is? See! This is the one tonight. I really don't know how some people get into the management of a team without even basic basketball knowledge? ”

The reporters went straight to orgasm.

You think Cato dares to say it, but in fact Cato dares to say it more than you think.

Cato was arguing with someone.

Everyone knows who this person is, but they all pretend not to know who it is.

A reporter asked, "Kevin, who are you referring to?" ”

Coach Dafan directly grabbed the microphone: "You guys think too much, Kevin didn't allude to someone." He was just in a bad mood and whining. ”

Coach Dafan stopped Cato's next words.

The reporters secretly shouted pity, but there was nothing they could do.

Cato also kept his mouth shut.

The next day, Cato received a penalty notice from NBA headquarters: a $5,000 fine.

The reason for the punishment is: words and deeds are not positive and not positive, and damage the image of the NBA.

It's good that you know about the data, how can you say it in front of the public.

David Stern attaches great importance to the image of the NBA, and the "dress order" is his masterpiece.

Afterwards, Li Lei found Cato and wanted to help Cato pay the $5,000.

The team is helping himself brush up on the data, and Li Lei can't be indifferent.

But Cato insisted that he didn't, he insisted that he wanted to scare Morey, and it had nothing to do with Li Lei.

Li Lei said that the last person was half.

After all, both of them were victims of the original deal, and they were on the same front.

For the Mosaic team, the two have the same grievances.

Cato finally agreed.

But that's not the end of it.

Soon after, the Pacers challenged Mosaic on the road.

Before the game, Artest was interviewed: "Can anyone brush up on the stats against the Pacers? This is an insult to the walkers! There must be a price! I can guarantee that no one in the Mosaic team will get 20+ in tonight's game, I promise. ”

In the end, the Pacers defeated the Mosaics 98-77.

Yao Ming had 19 points and 9 rebounds, Francis had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists, and Mobley had 13 points...... Jim Jackson, who was opposite Artest, shot 1-of-7 and scored just two points.

Artest did what he said and slapped some of the Mosaic team in the face.

In fact, since the conflict broke out between Francis and Morey after the Christmas War, the Mosaic team's record began to plummet.

Although the Mosaics tried their best to hide the conflict, there were still a lot of rumors that got out.

"Mosaic boss Francis is dissatisfied with the management's operation."

"Daryl Morey is secretly in contact with multiple teams in the hope of trading Francis, Mobley, Jim Jackson."

"The conflict between Yao Ming and Francis has intensified, and the boss battle has seriously affected the results of the Mosaic team."

"There is a possibility that China's little giant Yao Ming could be traded."

……

Rumors, I don't know if it's true or not.

The whole Mosaic team is panicked, how can they play well?

Naturally, the team's record is getting worse and worse.

……

Don't say anything else.

The time is approaching the Chinese New Year.

CCTV Sports Channel staff came to Miami to prepare to shoot a program for New Year's greetings.

Naturally, the Heat are fully cooperative.

Heat owner Mickey Allison is looking forward to opening the door to the Chinese market like Alexander.

At the same time, CCTV will also help Li Lei do publicity and canvass for all-stars.

However, Li Lei has no expectations, his data is good, but he is far from the All-Star.

The Heat also have Odom's all-around stats of 17.1 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.1 steals and 1 block.

It's January 9th.

The Heat defeated the Milwaukee Bucks led by Michael Reed and TJ Ford.

The overall record is 23-13.

January 10th.

The Heat flew to chilly Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves.

As the season wore on, the Timberwolves had chemistry and their performances were getting better and better.

Before this game, the Timberwolves defeated the Lakers 106-90, and the reputation was unmatched for a while.

Their overall record is 23-11, which is better than the Heat.

However, the Timberwolves' starting center Olowo Candy was injured, which made the Timberwolves lose a lot of strength.

But Garnett was confident in his pre-match interview.

"We'll win! I've had harder, darker times...... But none of them brought me down. What doesn't defeat me will only make me stronger! ”

"Besides, this is Minnesota, home to wolves. No matter who comes here, there is only one result, and that is to be defeated by the wolves! ”

"Fight for Minnesota!"

Garnett's words have a high spiritual attribute.

Minnesota fans listened to it and their blood boiled instantly.

Appearance ceremony.

The Heat are still regular: Cato, Odom, Li Lei, Jones, Alston.

Timberwolves:

Center: Elvin I'm really not Magic Johnson.

Power forward: "Wolf King" Garnett.

Small forward: "Madman" Sprewell.

Shooting guard: Trenton Hassell.

Organizational defender: "Alien" Kassel.

Before the game started, Garnett was still doing pre-game mobilization for the whole team, and what he said here is very vulgar.

"Look at the bitches on the other side, they're just our underdogs, we beat them at the beginning of the season. Tonight, let's take them down one more time, and those! ”

Didi!

The game begins.

Garnett easily beat Cato in the jump ball and took the basketball back to his own half.

Cassel receives the ball, then stabilizes his rhythm and slowly pushes up to the front.

Garnett mentions the free-throw line and blocks Cassel.

As soon as it came up, the Timberwolves offered their trump card tactics.

Odom and Alston were not resolute in their switches, and Cassel made an acceleration into the paint.

Cato came up to make up for it.

Kassel passes the ball straight to the basket.

Big center Elvin Johnson catches the ball and dunks.

Bang!

2：0。

The Heat attack.

Alston was transported to the front court and handed to Jones.

The madman defended very fiercely, and Jones tried twice but didn't get a chance, so he gave it to Odom.

Odom made a false move, changed direction continuously, and dribbled like a defender, but he couldn't get past Garnett.

Garnett spread his legs, lowered his center of gravity, and slammed the floor with one hand: "Come on! Charge like a man! What about your toughness? Take out your toughness and let me see if you're a man! ”

In an instant, Odom's blood rushed to his brain.
