Li Lei himself admitted that Gasol's strength is much worse than Garnett.

If you had to pick the strongest teammate, it would be Garnett, not Gasol.

The combination of Li Lei + Garnett is definitely the top double combination in the league, and it is not a problem to win the championship.

But strength is not the only criterion for Li Lei to choose teammates.

Why didn't Li Lei go to the Timberwolves?

The reason is simple, the Timberwolves are Garnett's team, and Garnett is the soul of the Timberwolves.

Once Li Lei goes to the Timberwolves, no matter how well he plays, he will be regarded as Garnett's assistant and the second leader of the Timberwolves.

Some people say that the second is the second in charge, so what does it matter? If you can win the championship!

Think of Durant later!

Durant played so well during the Warriors, won the FMVP for two consecutive years, and fought until he ruptured his Achilles tendon for the Warriors, but in the hearts of many fans, Durant is an enemy and a champion who hugs his thighs.

Fans call him "Du Laosi" and "Du 1.5". ”

Green even humiliated Durant: Before you came, we were the championships.

After Durant left the Warriors, head coach Kerr also disparaged him on social media.

Fans have long forgotten: At the beginning, it was the Warriors who ran to Durant's door and begged Durant to join.

So no matter what, Li Lei will not be a little brother to others.

Therefore, Li Lei will not consider Garnett's Timberwolves at all.

Kobe Bryant's Lakers and Brand's Clippers are similar reasons.

On the contrary, the Grizzlies are completely different.

Without a doubt, Gasol is also the Grizzlies' best player.

But his record is too poor, his style of play is soft, and he is not doing well, Li Lei can easily replace him.

In fact, Li Lei has been with the Grizzlies for less than 2 months and has become the soul of the Grizzlies.

……

On the court, Li Lei protected Gasol behind him, stepped forward again, looked at Garnett almost at zero distance, and said viciously: "Kevin, you'd better be honest." How I choose, it's not your turn! ”

"Also, Paul is my teammate now, and it's not your turn to ride on his head!"

Seeing Li Lei's fierce appearance, Garnett was stunned for a moment.

At the same time, Milicic, Jones Sr., and Luw all rushed up.

As long as Li Lei makes a move, they will immediately follow.

Zhu Fangyu, Lowry, Guy, and Varick on the sidelines are also ready to go.

Seeing this scene, Garnett did not intimidate and continued to output with his mouth, but unconsciously took a few steps back and hid behind the referee.

Hehe!

Li Lei then stopped paying attention to Garnett and turned his head to look at Gasol: "Paul, don't be afraid, when you meet this kind of person, you have to be tough." The tougher you are, the less he will dare to provoke you. ”

"If he dares to hit you, you will kick him directly, we are all behind you, and we will never let you fight alone!"

Gasol nodded, looking at his teammates around him, his heart warmed a lot.

……

Subsequently, the game continued.

Li Lei began to take over the game.

Li Lei held the ball at the top of the arc and faced James's "first big brother" Ricky? Davis put on a triple threat and came out with a succession of probing.

Ricky? Davis was highly nervous, and his pace kept adjusting, and he was very serious about his defense.

But he still showed his flaws after all, Li Lei saw the opportunity and pulled it out directly.

Swish!

Hand up and knife down.

Li Lei scored the first goal for the Grizzlies.

There was a burst of jubilation at the FedEx Center.

Whenever Li Lei gets the ball, Memphis fans will be particularly relieved.

And Garnett under the basket stared at Li Lei deadly, with resentment and hatred in his eyes.

"Why don't you want to team up with me?"

Timberwolves offense, Mike? James misses layup.

But Garnett roared, squeezed Gasol away, grabbed the rebound in the frontcourt, and made a dunk.

Garnett tonight is really not your average madness.

Under his leadership, the Timberwolves played a 9-2 start.

Turning around, it was the Grizzlies' turn to attack.

Ricky? Davis faced Li Lei, and he was really under a lot of pressure.

Today's Li Lei is simply a bug in the small forward position, and no one can stop him from scoring.

is still the familiar three threats, Li Lei is a false one.

Ricky who was just shot by Li Leiyan丨? Davis didn't dare not pounce, but Li Lei faked a real attack and passed him clean in one step.

At this moment, Garnett pounced in front of Li Lei.

The speed and range of the defense are really amazing.

In fact, Garnett's nickname is not only "Wolf King", but also "Octopus Spider".

This means that Garnett stretches out eight legs like a spider and defends the entire three-point line.

This nickname is actually the most appropriate Garnett, who has a historic level of defense and assistance ability.

It's a pity that he is facing Li Lei.

Li Lei found the gap, threaded the needle, and handed the ball to Gasol, who was released.

Ricky? Davis pounced on Gasol, but how could his height limit Gasol.

Gasol leaned close to Ricky, turned and threw the shot, and won easily.

Swish!

9：4。

In this way, despite Garnett's amazing performance, relying on Li Lei's tandem, the Grizzlies began to narrow the gap little by little.

End of the first section.

The Grizzlies narrowed the deficit to two points.

On the bench, the Timberwolves were no match for the Grizzlies.

And here we have to talk about Gasol's comeback.

After Gasol's return, it's not just the Grizzlies who have gotten stronger.

At the same time, Varick sank into the bench lineup, and the Grizzlies' bench depth immediately changed.

In addition, Li Lei and Gasol can lead the team separately, as long as Coach Carlisle reasonably arranges the playing time of the two, he can always maintain at least one core on the field.

For example, in the first quarter, Li Lei and Gasol went on together.

When the game reached 8 minutes, Gasol went down to rest, and Li Lei led the team.

In the second quarter of the game, Gasol came up first to lead the team, and Li Lei went down to rest.

In the last few minutes, the two can lead the team at the same time.

In this way, after only three quarters of the game, the Timberwolves were already behind by a large score.

。

Looking at the nearly 20-point difference, Dwyanne of the Timberwolves? Coach Casey chose to replace Garnett and give up the game.

Garnett walked over to the bench, where a substitute handed Garnett a towel.

Garnett slammed it directly on the floor, startling everyone.

Garnett then sat on the bench and said nothing.

You can laugh at Garnett for his "fight-and-retreat and iron-blooded jumper", but there's no doubt that Garnett is definitely one of the most winning-minded stars.

However, he has been losing for too long.

"Am I going to continue to spend my peak?"

Garnett couldn't help but ask himself.

Then, he looked at Li Lei opposite.

The guy is only 22 years old and already has 2 championship rings.

As for myself, I haven't touched the floor of the finals.
