Chapter 46: [Battle of Minnesota]
The much-anticipated game was played at the Minnesota Target Center, and Timberwolves fans were very supportive of Garnett's revenge, taking Garnett's All-Star experience as a disgrace to their Minnesotan as a whole.
That's why Suhi was booed from the crowd when she came on the stage, and there was more invish and crazy accusations mixed in.
But none of this can affect Suhi.
Suhi's inner strength has long been certified by everyone, and nothing can make this 'arrogant and arrogant young demon frown'.
He is like a devil hiding in the shadows, waiting to swallow someone's soul in one bite.
Suhi, Artest, Reggie Miller, O'Neal Jr., and Foster came on as the starting lineup for the Pacers.
The Timberwolves sent Cassel, Hassel, Sprewell, Garnett, and Elvin Johnson to face the game.
Sanders won national acclaim for winning first place in the West with this defensive lineup, and he and Carlisle are considered the strongest contenders for this year's coach of the year.
The outcome of this game is crucial.
It will decide a lot of things.
"Sushi the Sheep claimed after the All-Star Game in Los Angeles that she would pick up Garnett once she saw him in the future, and I'm waiting to see how he performs."
McBrin, as an ESPN commentator, said things on television that were clearly tendentious. He didn't believe Suhi could deliver on his words.
Backbite!
The whistle blew.
Foster jumped high and slapped the basketball to Suhi.
The moment Su Xi received the basketball, he launched a violent impact, his speed, explosiveness, strength... With full talent, Cassel was still powerless to stop, and he was knocked away by Sushi from beyond the three-point line.
Then, Sprewell made up for it.
Sprewell is nicknamed the madman, and most of the impression of ordinary fans about him is that 'he almost strangled his head coach PJ Calesim'. But in reality, he's a swingman who plays both offense and defense, and in his second season of his career, he was named to the league's best team and second defense.
Leaving aside the hugely famous Jordan successors Grant Hill and Hardaway, he was also once Jordan's successor.
However, with the change of the Warriors' internal team and the change of tactics, he has deteriorated with the Warriors, from the 'first scoring guard' on both offensive and defensive ends to a ball bully who can only score points. And there was also something that almost strangled the head coach.
Then, he went to the New York Knicks. At this time, the Knicks had actually been broken up by Jordan and the Bulls, and his arrival allowed the Knicks to pull up the banner and achieve the second New York gang. He, along with Larry Johnson, Ewing and Houston, made it to the Finals in New York, but they didn't beat the Spurs, who had twin towers.
However, as Ewing aged, Larry Johnson and Houston fell into injuries one after another, and Sprewell returned to the scoring attribute again.
Sprewell is a swingman who can play both offense and defense, and he is a player who plays a vanguard role. On the offensive end, he is good at tearing up the defense with the ball, and he has a strong ability to push and counterattack. Defensively, he is keen to press the ball carrier and stand on the front line of defense.
But... This style of play requires the blessing of good teammates. He had Webb and Mullin in the Warriors' highlights. Among the Knicks' highlights are Johnson and Ewing, as well as Houston.
Now that the Timberwolves are in their third spring, it is because Garnett is standing behind them, and Cassel is reasonably distributing the ball.
He can be unscrupulous.
Burst!
Suhi crashed directly into Sprewell.
Sprewell's strength is good, and his tonnage is a bit bigger than Suhi, so he only took half a step back, and Susie's offensive momentum was also delayed.
If it was Suhi before, it was very likely that he would be locked up.
But now, with a flick of Suhi's wrist, the basketball is passed to the bottom corner. He didn't hand it to Atay, who had an empty spot in front of him, but passed it to Reggie Miller, who was running to the bottom corner, and the ball arrived.
Reggie Miller opened his hand and threw ...... Swish!
Hit.
After Suhi acquired the magician's super spatial talent, his motion capture ability for his teammates was improved by more than one level.
Even Garnett was surprised, he was ready to shoot and steal, as long as Sushi passed the basketball to Artest, he was 90% sure of the break.
But who would have thought that Suhi would pass the basketball to an unfamiliar corner.
In the opening game, Suhi gave the Timberwolves a three-point impact with a pass.
Looking back, Suhi's steps followed closely in Kassel.
However, Sanders was prepared and in response to Suhi's winding defence, he let Sprewell pick up on one side early.
Arrive at the forecourt. The Timberwolves made a fine run, and the basketball was handed to Sprewell.
The madman assaulted Atai, and both of them were fierce and fierce style of play.
Eventually, Sprewell turned past Atay to attract O's pinch, and he crashed into it and made a jumper... Bang! Striking iron.
Garnett rushed in and dunked the basketball.
This is the Timberwolves' usual style of play. As long as Sprewell tears up the defense and attracts interior support, he will make a determined shot.
Even if you don't get in, it's a 'helper' for Garnett.
In the matter of 'helping the board', Sprewell and Kobe Bryant studied under the same teacher.
The madman has Garnett by his side, and Kobe Bryant has O'Neal by his side.
The game continues, and the two sides go back and forth.
Both teams are of a very strong standard and are basically in the same class.
For a while, no one could help anyone.
Sushi played 6 minutes and went off the court to get 3 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds and 1 steal.
Normal output.
When Sushi went off, the Pacers had a two-point lead.
After Suhi came off the field, Kenny Anderson took over the No. 1 position.
Originally, Carlisle was ready to fall behind, and who knew that Anderson hit a 3-pointer when he came on the court. His hand felt hot.
This hot feeling gives the walker a new lease of life and creates amazing chemistry.
When the Timberwolves had to stretch their defense, Artai got more opportunities on the wing, and O'Neale Jr. was able to focus more on Garnett.
O'Neal Jr., as the third-ranked power forward in the league today, is not afraid of Garnett, who is ranked second, he is afraid of Duncan, the king of immobility.
His complicated offensive skills are of little use against Duncan, who is like an old man who doesn't understand the amorous style and has lost his sexual drive, and he can't be fooled no matter how much he seduces. Garnett is almost meaningless, and although he is very good defensively, there are always times when he takes the bait.
At the same time, Reggie Miller also fired.
Sanders didn't expect that his pre-match tactical plan was how to clean up Suhi.
But now, old Anderson taught him a lesson.
Suhi sat on the bench and smiled happily.
Because of Kenny Anderson's sudden outburst, he will get more time to rest.
At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers led by eight points.
The score was 29:21.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Suxi was still firmly seated in Mount Tai.
The Timberwolves started defensively and launched some counter-attacks.
At this point, Atai had the opportunity to become the savior of the Pacers, but he didn't catch it... His offensive efficiency was low.
When the lead was chased by the Timberwolves to only three points, the second quarter also went to the fifth and a half minutes.
Suhi, who had rested, returned to the field and replaced Artest.
Carlisle asked him to try his hand at the point guard position.
Suhi is facing Spreville.
Crazy people have an advantage in both height and size.
"I like your style, but you're not my match yet."
Sprewell took the initiative to speak to Suhi: "I was about the same as you when I was young, but not as arrogant as you. I only dare to choke the head coach's neck, but you dare to half of the league's superstars. ”
The madman admires Suhi very much.
His brain circuits are different from those of a normal person.
It could be seen that he really wanted to make friends with Suhee.
Kenny Anderson was ambushed by Cassel in advance, and Suhi quickly ran over to catch it, and he received the basketball.
The madman oppressed and was extremely aggressive.
This is the first time Suhi has appeared in the No. 2 position, and the whole basketball world is talking about Suhi's weak individual attack and ability to handle the ball and solve the ball below the league average.
Carlisle clenched his fists secretly, he was a little worried.
At this moment, Su Xi made a quick tentative step, his steps were sharp and realistic, and the moment his body slammed forward, the experienced madman was fooled, and his steps subconsciously retreated.
At this time, Suxi quickly changed to the other side with the ball, and Suxi's explosiveness and speed were already at the top level in the league.
The madman was afraid of being passed by one step, so he took two steps back to defend.
But Su Xi has already stopped suddenly, retreated, and jumped out!
In Sanders' defensive manual for Timberwolves players, there is no mention of Suhi having this ability.
However, Su Xi grasped the shot very well this time, and the basketball was very obedient and drew a beautiful arc...... Swish!
Arrested.
Suxi has an element of gambling, and he is not very confident in his shot.
But he was right.
If you bet right, you have to talk trash.
"Why is your defense so bad? When I used to watch tapes, you weren't that weak. Suhi shook his head in disappointment, hoping that the madman would come up with the emotion of choking the coach's neck.
The madman has a bit of a super talent in his body, what if he helps himself absorb and fuse.
But what Suxi didn't expect was that Sprewell actually accepted it humbly: "It's indeed much weaker than at the peak." ”
Boring.
Suhi pouted.
Back in the half, Cassel handed the basketball to Spreville, and when he received it, Suhi wrapped it up.
The madman's offense has two brushes, and although it is not at the top level, it also successfully diverts Suhee's winding defense, and he stops when he suddenly breaks through, and bang!
The basketball missed.
Garnett clicked the basketball again and put it in the basket.
After the goal, he yelled at O'Neill Jr. very arrogantly, and he beat his chest, very domineering.
His passion also ignites emotions among the home fans, and Garnett is a player who is very good at stirring up the atmosphere.
And at this moment, Garnett glanced at Sushi fiercely, he was full of provocation. He seemed to be saying, "Aren't you going to me?" Come on!
Su Xi's face was expressionless, but he had a slight pursed lip.
Those who are familiar with Sushi know.
When he behaves like that on the pitch, it means he's going to retaliate.
Artest was restless on the sidelines, and he said to the protector next to him, "Tony, do you think Jack will dunk Garnett's head tonight?" I think it's very likely. ”
"I'm ready to fight, and if Garnett dares to take revenge on Jack with punches and kicks, I'll let him know why I'm Tony Barty."
Hu Su Bao showed off his muscles.
His current position with the Pacers is Oakley of the Bulls. Oakley was Jordan's bodyguard when he was in Chicago, and whoever dared to be disrespectful to Jordan, he rushed up and clicked it.
The same goes for Tony Barty.
He arrived in Indiana with a buyout contract to embarrass Cleveland with Suhey, and the two later fell into a relationship. Moreover, Chinese fans and Chinese brands are too powerful, Tony Barty has eaten the dividends of the Chinese market, coupled with the encouragement of the team owner, he has taken the initiative to put the label of Husu Bao on his forehead.
If you don't accept it, you can do it.
Atai was very envious of Su Xi having such a personal bodyguard.
He has always felt that Su Xi does not need bodyguards in private, because Su Xi's force value is very high, and even his demon father's ribs can be broken by him with one punch, what is this confrontation in the NBA?
Artai has seen Garnett's fight video, and his evaluation is: relying on the defense.
Wang Baquan is not as good.
Fight and retire from the first place.
Suhee received the basketball again in the frontcourt.
This time, Sushi beckoned, and Foster hurried up to cover.
Suhi flashed away, and his body cut to the penalty area, and the Timberwolves' new center Orody Cambi couldn't stop it at all, and was passed by Suxi in one step.
Garnett hurriedly filled in from one side, and he was aggressive.
Sue Xi went deep alone, and when Garnett wanted to make a violent block, Sue suddenly stopped and turned his back, and Garnett hurriedly got close.
At this point, Suhi did a very fancy trick by passing the basketball with his back with a no-look-pass.
Su Xi has practiced a lot in private, but this is the first time in actual combat.
The effect was not bad, it almost passed out, and little O'Neal was long and fished it back.
Then he jumped, just as Garnett turned around and was knocked out of the way by him head-on... Rumble!
O'Neal Jr. slammed the basketball into the basket with both hands and left Garnett under his crotch.
Garnett angrily shoved little O'Neal.
O'Neal Jr. jumped down and also held Garnett on top of him.
The two were on the verge of breaking out.
The referee rushed over to mediate and separated the two.
And gave both of them a warning.
Let's hope they don't escalate the situation.
It's going to be a playoff game, you can't think about it, and bans aren't fun.
The referee was a little bitter.
But it's also a wise saying.
But Su Xi arched a fire beside him. "Don't worry, Kevin Garnett only dares to deliberately put on a show when facing an opponent he can't beat. Even if you don't intervene just now, he'll automatically back away. ”
Su Xi's words were cold and sharp, and they were full of lethality.
Garnett's face suddenly changed, and he glared at him fiercely, he really wanted to punch Suhey.
But Suhi just smiled and looked at him.
As if to say: do you dare?
