Chapter 327: A False, But True World!
Garnett stood in front of the mirror in the Spurs locker room, looking at the person in the mirror, and Garnett's mind was full of shock and dazed looks.
Because the person in the mirror is indeed him, Kevin Garnett!
The iconic thin figure, although he is old because of age, his figure is still relatively average, and the older players are still a lot thinner.
"I'm Kevin Garnett, and I'm 39 years old, why do they all say I'm Tim Duncan?!"
"Are these people blind in my dreams?"
Garnett didn't even know what to say for a moment.
And right now.
Someone tapped him on the shoulder behind him.
"Tim, what are you looking at? Today's training was great, Monty was blown up by you!"
「……」
Garnett turned around and saw the smiling Admiral and Monty Williams beside him.
As a rookie, his training opponent today is Monty Williams, a short forward with solid defensive ability and great strength, and the average rookie interior lineman will be difficult to play if he does not have skills and experience.
But who is he, he's 39!
Although his physical ability is now incomparable to that of his peak youth, his game experience is much stronger than Monty Williams, and with the advantage of height, he can easily beat Monty Williams.
It can be said that on the training ground, he directly blew Monty Williams out.
At today's training ground, he has also become the brightest star.
Both the team's head coach Popovich and the team's past leader Admiral are very satisfied.
It's just that......
You guys, don't you really find out that I'm Kevin Garnett, not Tim Duncan?
In fact, in the past, when he was dreaming, he did dream that if he and Duncan swapped careers, would he achieve the same achievements as Duncan, or even higher than Duncan?
As a player who has been used to compare Duncan since the beginning of his career, he did have such dreams a lot in the past.
Even during this playoffs, he thought about it.
Unexpectedly, I actually had such a dream again.
And, this time, isn't it, a little too wrong?
In my dreams, I'm now 39-year-old Kevin Garnett, reliving Tim Duncan's career?
Before, even if I wanted to replace Duncan, it would be the younger 18-year-old me to replace Duncan?
But......
After thinking about it for a while, Garnett was excited again, although this time he was not his younger self, but he was also very good.
At the age of 39, although his athleticism is not so strong, his skills and experience are almost perfect, and more importantly, his physical strength is under the training of Coach D, although he is not compared with the peak, but even if he plays an opponent like the Spurs, even if he plays Duncan's Spurs in the playoffs, he can play at high intensity for more than 32 minutes, and there is no problem.
So, at the age of 39, maybe he doesn't have the peak Garnett strong?
However, definitely better than Garnett in the first few years of the rookie!
At least, it won't be worse than rookie Duncan, right?
"Rookie Duncan is known as one of the strongest rookies in NBA history, and this time in my dream, I want to win the championship directly with the generals and the Spurs, and see who is the real strongest rookie!"
Although it is just a dream, as long as it is compared with Duncan, Garnett is full of fighting spirit.
Moreover, this dream is so real, is it good to surpass it, worthy of such a super-real dream?
The rookie played the Nuggets in his first game, facing Tony Barty, the No. 5 pick in '97.
As an old ball skin, Garnett easily played Tony Barty, 10 of 12 in the game, and easily cut down 25 points, 15 rebounds and 5 blocks, which broke down Tony Barty and the Nuggets.
The game ended, and the whole country shook.
I thought that even if the two strengths were not close, they could be regarded as supernovas, and the duel would produce some sparks, but I didn't expect it to be a one-sided hanging.
After the game, the whole NBA was shocked by Tim Duncan's maturity and strength.
As a person who likes to be in the limelight, in the game, Garnett often beats his chest and screams in the sky.
This also makes many Spurs fans find it very interesting, thinking that their rookie champion is the young star power forward in the Timberwolves.
The Timberwolves' 20-year-old young power forward, who was an All-Star last season, is one of the hottest power forwards in the entire league.
Tim Duncan, as the rookie champion, will inevitably be compared to Garnett.
Therefore, many media feel that this is Duncan's deliberate mentality of playing Garnett.
Even Garnett himself thinks so.
Garnett, who is now only 20 years old, is the most arrogant.
Looking at the praise of Tim Duncan in the media, looking at Duncan's celebration in the media, in addition to the different appearances, not to mention the ninety percent similarity, it is also exactly the same.
November 11th!
Garnett looked at the calendar, this is the day the Timberwolves play the Spurs for the first time this season!
……
……
"Tim, although you said that you performed well in the last game, didn't your celebration be a little ostentatious?"
The admiral is an honest man and a good person, and he has always felt that in the NBA, everyone is a star player, look down and see you when you look up.
In the future, Tim and Kevin Garnett will fall in love and kill each other for one or two decades, the two are similar in age and equal in strength, although everyone is hyping the setting of the two lifelong enemies, but, there is no need for the other party to offend each other, right?
It's just that, in the face of such a reminder from the admiral, Garnett didn't care about it at all.
Isn't it just a dream?
I need to abide by a lot of rules on the scene, human feelings, and sophistication, and in my dreams, I still can't be happy?
I have to say that it is not for nothing that Garnett and Koko are good friends.
Although the wolf is not like Kezi, he punches and kicks his teammates, coaches, and dreams when he is unhappy, but he is arrogant, and he is really arrogant!
"David, the next time I meet that kid Garnett, I'm going to tell him, who is the real wolf king, woo~!"
「……」
The admiral looked at Duncan, who was beating his chest and criing wolf at this time, and was blinded.
This wolf howl is indeed very pure!
Tim, how long has this been practicing?
This is not in the NBA, but he is eyeing Kevin Garnett's kid!
Garnett, who has a game life mentality, can be said to be domineering and wanton in his dreams.
In every game, whether it's a tense small win or a big win that breaks the opponent, as long as there are wonderful shots on the court, Garnett will start his own wolf king celebration.
For a time, the holy city, as a small city, actually became the most watched team in the NBA because of Garnett!
"It's real, it's so real!!
After the interview and looking at the newspaper in his hand, Garnett was shocked again.
He felt that his dream was really like the real world!
"That's so cool!!
"So, why don't you be more unscrupulous?"
November 11, 1997, before the wolf-horse war.
"Kevin Garnett? The Wolf King? Hahahaha, I never put him in my eyes, and tonight, in the target center, I, Tim Duncan, am the wolf king!"
At the pre-match press conference, Tim Duncan spoke.
There was an uproar.
And in the Timberwolves' locker room, Garnett, Marbury, Gugliotta, these Timberwolves balls
The stars were all dumbfounded.
The most dumbfounded is Garnett.
He is indeed preparing for this game to make trouble, and he wants to teach Duncan, an arrogant rookie, a lesson.
Entered the NBA and haven't lost yet?
This game is his Waterloo!
Garnett didn't expect Duncan to be so arrogant!
"Kevin, I think that in this game, if we don't press this kid to death, maybe, we won't be able to hold our heads up in the NBA."
After Marbury finished speaking, the other Timberwolves players all nodded fiercely.
Spurs started the season with six straight wins.
The Timberwolves also started the season with 4 wins and 1 loss, Timberwolves, is it a weak team?
A mere Spurs rookie is ashamed to be the king of wolves in the target center!
It's too T-bullying!
The game began to target the center, and boos erupted, all of which were invective against Tim Duncan.
The scolding, the content, the admirals on the scene were angry.
"Tim, don't take these Timberwolves fans to heart, they don't matter at all, on the court, the most important thing is our own ......
Still worried that Duncan, who faced such a boo for the first time, would not be suitable, the admiral still wanted to relieve Duncan's pressure, but when he turned his head and looked at the excited expression on Duncan's face at this time, for a while, he didn't even know what to say, directly, he was silent!
Garnett was really excited at this time.
Because he saw the same self he used to be!
That one is still in high spirits, the one who hasn't been beaten by the NBA yet!
As for the scolding from Timberwolves fans, boo?
"They're scolding Tim Duncan, what does it have to do with me, Kevin Garnett?"
In the murderous eyes of the whole Timberwolves team, in the crazy invective of the Timberwolves fans in the whole court, the game began.
After 3 hours.
When the game is over.
The entire target center is completely devoid of the vitality it had at the beginning of the competition.
Throughout the center of the target, a quiet pin drop can be heard at this time.
No, not complete silence.
There is also a voice.
That is, on the court, in the center, the Spurs' rookie champion who walked there, Tim Duncan!
Touch!
Touch!!
Touch!!!
Whew~!!!
In front of Garnett and the Timberwolves players, in front of the Timberwolves fans in the audience, Tim Duncan, the champion of the Spurs, is really like a wolf king, invincible in the entire target center!
"Tonight, Target Center, I'm the real Wolf King!"
Pre-match beeping.
Realization after the game!
"Oh my God! Tim Duncan, who defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves, is the most majestic king in the snow tonight! Tonight, he personally stripped Kevin Garnett of his glory and name!! This is the most brutal beating in NBA history!!
In a game, the opponent's name was lost and deprived.
Garnett looked at the arrogant Tim Duncan, his hands trembling, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
In this game, he was really blown up.
But!
Are you going too far?
Do you really think you can perform like this in every game?
Just as Garnett gritted his teeth, KG walked over with a smile on his face.
"Hate me, boy, go ahead with such hatred."
KG smiled and finished speaking, and in the eyes of the whole world, he turned to leave, but as he was about to leave, he added.
"Maybe, ten or twenty years from now, you'll thank me, hahahaha......
What is the ultimate arrogance?
That's it!
Looking at the extremely arrogant figure of Tim Duncan, the reporters at the scene were all shocked and stunned.
They have seen a lot of grievances in the NBA, but they have never seen Duncan force an opponent to such an extent!
This is really going to be offended to death!
The good old general, at this time, he was extremely unfamiliar with his young teammate.
Tim, you are so neat, in the future, your opponents, each will not dare to lose to you, and everyone will want to kill you in the game, and in the future, you will not be able to move an inch in the NBA!!
Even Jordan didn't dare to be so arrogant!
"Tim, do you think you're the god of basketball?"
"You're right, in this world, I'm God!"
At the press conference, the reporters below were in an uproar again.
……
……
Ten years later.
In 2007.
Western Conference Finals, tie-break.
AT&T Arena.
The Spurs fans in the stadium were silent.
Garnett of the Timberwolves, at the last moment, completed a three-point kill against Tim Duncan, the boss of his own team!
Finally survived OK, Tim Duncan is finally going to lead the team to the Finals for the first time.
In the end, it fell short!
And right now.
Kevin Garnett, who had just hit the shot, walked silently to the center of the court.
"Tim Duncan, now, do you still think you're the god of basketball?"
After Kevin Garnett finished speaking, he didn't beat his chest or howl wolf, and left with his teammate Marbury.
Since that night ten years ago, he has never beaten his chest or howled.
Since that night ten years ago, they, there is only one thing, and that is, revenge!
Now, revenge!
Look at Garnett and Marbury with their backs.
Garnett was shocked, and after the shock, closed his eyes.
It's so real!
Except for myself, there was no growth.
Everyone else, all growing!
How arrogant I was at the beginning, how miserable I am now!
This world is too real!
False and true!
It's just that!
It's so funny!!
……
