NBA backer king

Chapter 583 Garnett: My bottom line is, never let Old K score 100 points on me!
"Kevin..."

Seeing too many reporters, the Timberwolves staff couldn't stop them, so they had to call out Garnett and ask him to deal with the reporters.

"20+ per quarter, breaking the record of 100 points in a single game?" Garnett's head suddenly became dizzy.

"King of Huskies, do you have the confidence to resist the arrogance of old K on your head?" A local reporter asked.

"Don't call that damn nickname! I'm Wolf King! Wolf King! Not that damn sled dog!" Garnett said angrily.

"Ha ha……"

A group of reporters hid in the crowd and laughed uncontrollably.

"Old K, don't try to be presumptuous on my head. I still want to say this now. He doesn't have the ability to cut [-] points on my head. It is absolutely impossible!" Garnett roared angrily.

"Okay, Mr. Wolf King, now we know where your bottom line is, 100 points, haha!" With the laughter of a local reporter, the whole corridor burst into laughter.

"boom!"

Annoyed, Garnett pushed the door in angrily, and slammed the door shut with his backhand, scaring his teammates.

At eight o'clock, the starting lineups of both sides.

Minnesota: Rasu, Kevin Garnett, Wally Sczerbiak, Anthony Peeler, Troy Hudson

Suns: Wang Tiejun, Amare Stoudemire, Shawn Marion, Anfernee Hardaway, Steve Nash
The game was broadcast live across the United States by TNT, and the commentators were Charles Barkley and partner Kenny Smith.

Barker said in a teasing tone: "The Timberwolves set up the team's ten-year future for Joe Smith, but this season Joe Smith fell into an injury again, so he could only come off the bench and play for 10 minutes. In the words of old K, it was lost to his grandma's family."

Kenny Smith shook his head and said: "Actually, I have never been able to understand the operation of the Timberwolves. Joe Smith has played in the Warriors for three seasons, and he has not played the data of the All-Star. Why do you want to engage in this kind of contract?"

Barkley was actually familiar with the inside story, but he didn't pick up the conversation, and Kenny Smith didn't say anything about it.

Both of them knew that Joe Smith's agent and the Timberwolves' management had made this matter. Joe Smith's agent was Dan Fagan, the agent of Big Dream back then, and he was also the agent of Marion of the Suns, one of the top agents in the league. They were very familiar with them.

In this matter, some insiders said that Dan Feigen received money from the Timberwolves, and then persuaded Joe Smith to sign the yin and yang contract.

In fact, Joe Smith only received money from one contract from beginning to end, and did not take more. Although he had two contracts, he received a basic salary for the first two years and a high salary for the latter. According to his worth, the sum of the two contracts is also the contract amount he deserves.

In the media seats behind the baseline, Zhang Lili and Su Qun huddled together and sat on the floor, each holding a camera, ready to capture some exciting shots.

CCTV did not broadcast this game, but it will broadcast the game between the Suns and the Nets on the 27th. There is no broadcast task these days, and they have been staying in Phoenix.

"Director Zhang, old K said that he would cut 20+ points in each quarter, and break [-] points. Do you think this is true or not?"

"The words from the peers may be exaggerated. Tiejun did not pursue the idea of ​​​​personal data this season, but cooperated with the team to hone tactics and train rookies. But tonight's situation may be different. Garnett's husky provoked Tiejun. I think it may also be taught a lesson."

"Yes, I think we should teach him a lesson, otherwise no matter what kind of cat or dog he is, he will have the guts to run and shit on Old K's head."

"Yes, just like the first glove fight, haha, if it weren't for the supersonic surrender, the Iron Army would have a real chance of breaking through the hundred."

The two were chatting, and the starter came on the stage.

"Shh!"

When the Timberwolves played and Garnett finally came out, he enjoyed an unparalleled "warm welcome". Suns fans showed no mercy to the guy who provoked Old K.

Garnett was really tough, he was booed by nearly 2 people, and he still held his neck and raised his chin, with a look of never bowing his head.

"boom!"

With the appearance of Lao Wang, the Meixi Arena was like an erupting volcano, and the fans were releasing the rushing hormones in their bodies to their heart's content, and the shouts of the Sun King were earth-shattering.

At 08:30, the game officially started.

Whether it is physical or technical, Garnett has basically entered the peak since the 98/99 season. He was 22 years old that year. As a high school draft pick, he was able to enter the peak period in the fourth season.

Now that he has entered the peak period and four seasons have passed, his physical condition is still at the peak, his skills are more mature, and his strength has improved a step further. This is also his confidence to dare to challenge Lao Wang. Of course, even at the peak of the peak, he only dared to challenge Lao Wang after a serious injury. Lao Wang did not have the courage before he retired from injury.

It is said on the Internet that he can touch the top of the backboard, which is actually a bit exaggerated, but his bounce is really good enough. The vertical jump must exceed 90 cm.

Seeing Old K following him, Garnett knew that today was really troublesome.

His official height is 211 cm, which is the shoe height, but his real height, naked height is 212, and the shoe height has reached 215 cm. The reason why he concealed his height of 4 cm is because he does not want to play a center forward.

His height is about the same as O'Neal's. O'Neal's shoe height is 216 cm, and his bare height is 213 cm. Both of them are a little shorter than Lao Wang. Lao Wang's naked height is 216 cm. Now he is standing with Lao Wang. Lao Wang's shoe height reaches 219 cm, which looks a little lower.

The left wing is low, and the old king is behind Garnett, spraying trash in his ear: "King of the Huskies,

Little bastard, you dare to provoke me by taking advantage of my uncle's serious injury. Today I will blow your head off and burst the shit out of it. "

"..."

Garnett got a headache from being sprayed. He also likes to talk trash, but he didn't know how to respond. He thought for a while and sprayed: "Old K, you are not as good as one game, you must be holding on. Don't try to do whatever you want on my head tonight, you have no such ability."

"Crack clap..."

In the media seats behind the bottom line, the reporters kept pressing the shutter, hoping to record the exciting moments that might happen.

The two reporters in the right position even put their microphones close to Lao Wang and Garnett, hoping to record their trash talk, but were immediately stopped by the bottom judge.

"Go away!"

Seeing the Timberwolves point guard Hudson pass the ball down, Lao Wang suddenly made a strong defense.

Garnett, who was about to catch the ball, couldn't hold it at all, but when the ball came, he could only hold it with all his strength, but the power behind him suddenly disappeared, and his body couldn't help shaking backwards.

"Evacuate? Oops!"

After he reacted and stabilized his center of gravity, the old K who had been robbed got stuck behind him.

"Snapped!"

Pharaoh completed the steal.

At this time, Nash, who reacted very quickly, had already started to move quickly, and was about to pass by Hudson. Lao Wang did not hesitate, passed the ball directly, gave the lead, passed the ball in an arc, and the ball flew behind Hudson, at the center line.

Nash started with all his strength, accelerated with all his strength, passed Hudson who was turning around, and rushed in front. After three steps, he just received the ball at the center line, and then rushed into the frontcourt.

"Old K stole the ball? Beautiful! He succeeded! He passed the ball again, and Nash was about to make a layup, ah! Hoho..."

With the roar of an on-site commentator, Nash completed the Suns' first offense tonight with a layup.

Barkley praised: "Let's look at the Suns' offense regardless of the Suns' immature offensive system. Many times it really makes us feel pleasing to the eye, and many fast breaks are quite smooth.

In particular, the fast break initiated by old K directly from the backcourt is very simple and fast. He can send the ball to the teammate closest to the basket, just like a pass in volleyball, which can be called a deadly pass.

We know that the excellent rate of the first pass is very important, because at this time, the opponent's defense may not have time to build or even return to the defense. The Suns can take the opportunity to use the thunderous fast break to break through the opponent's hasty and flustered return and complete the fastest defensive counterattack. "

Kenny Smith said seriously: "The Suns have two very good passers. One is Old K, which is the high point, and the other is Nash, which is a point guard who can pass the ball from any position in the audience. I think that once the Suns' offensive system matures, no matter how strong the opponent's defense is, they will not be able to completely lock the Suns' organizational ability."

"Agreed, even if we enter the playoffs and increase the defensive intensity, the opponent may be able to defend against Nash, but there is still K. When the old K gets the ball, Nash will be released. In this way, some problems caused by Nash may be reduced." Barkley laughed.

"boom!"

At this time, Timberwolves small forward Wally Szczerbiak made a jumper, which was blocked by Marion and missed.

Garnett wants to fight for offensive rebounds. His speed can be called a small forward, not only fast vertically, but also fast laterally. This makes him very strong defensively. He can defend to the three-point line and also makes him very strong in rebounding. This past season, he averaged 13.5 rebounds per game, including 3 offensive rebounds.

But he met today's old K, the current old K, in terms of speed, regardless of vertical and horizontal, faster than him, not slower than him, better rebounding skills than him, stronger than him, stronger wingspan and height, his only advantage against old K is bounce.

But this time, he failed to get stuck and was firmly stuck behind by the old K. He could only watch the old K grab the rebound.

The offense and defense switched, and the Suns played a fast break again. Except for Lao Wang, the other four all went down quickly, stabbing four sharp knives towards the empty backcourt of the Timberwolves.

Lao Wang held Garnett with his right elbow, threw a throw with his left hand, and with a whoosh, the ball flew straight to Marion on the right wing.

Marion faced Wally Szczerbiak, who was slow and couldn't keep up with the rhythm in the emergency return. After turning around, he was already behind a lot.

After receiving the ball, Marion rushed into the frontcourt, entered the three-point line from the right wing, and then changed direction and slashed diagonally to the basket. His momentum was already unstoppable.

In the middle, the point guard Hudson, who was desperately returning to defense, was rushing into the basket. Marion was afraid of getting hurt, so he didn't forcefully take off and dunk, but threw the ball directly in front of the basket, and then slowed down and stopped.

Hudson hurriedly looked back, his face changed, and he quickly retreated to the bottom line.

At the free throw line, Stoudemire rushed in, took off from the inside position, caught the ball with one hand in the air, and dunked.

"boom!"

The Timberwolves' basket roared.

"Oh ho ho ho ho..."

Cheerful shouts sounded from the American West Arena.

"Back to defense! Come back to defense!" Little Van Gundy yelled constantly from the sidelines.

So the Timberwolves took the opportunity to chase the ball. Point guard Hudson made a quick pass from the baseline and sent a long pass to center Rasu at the free throw line.

Fortunately, Lao Wang was in the paint area, one step below the free throw line, and when the Timberwolves' baseline ball was sent, he immediately pounced on it, jumped up after one step, and flew past Lasu like a big bird.

"Snapped!"

With a clap of both hands, the ball will be broken in the future.

"Oh hoo!"

The audience burst into cheers. Seeing Old K stealing the ball at a high position, the excited Suns fans shouted in unison: "One dragon! One dragon..."

Lao Wang did not disappoint the fans. He didn't pass the ball after landing, and directly dribbled the ball forward.

Garnett wanted to stop Lao Wang, but he was a step too slow. Before he reached the intercepting position, Wang Tiejun, who was faster than him, rushed over with the ball. It was impossible for him to turn around and chase after him.

The other Suns players themselves fell behind the Timberwolves. At this time, they pulled away one after another, creating opportunities for Lao Wang to attack the basket.

Crossing the center line, crossing the top of the arc, and stomping on the ground with one step, Wang Tiejun took off half a step from the free throw line, holding the ball high with one hand in his right hand, and the whole person swooped towards the basket like a heavy bomber.

At this moment, everyone's mouths are wide open!
"boom!"

The next moment, with the sound of violent basket explosions, the huge cheers were like thunder, buzzing in the American West Arena.

"Oh ho ho ho ho..."

"Stealing one-stop dunks, old K is showing top-level offensive and defensive capabilities. He is still No.1 in active service! No.1 in active service!"

The two on-site commentators roared excitedly.

"Now the Suns' ball is really good. K, Stoudemire, Marion, all of them can dunk, and the way of dunking is very strong. I think the major broadcasters only give the Suns 32 games in the United States, which seems to be a little less. Maybe they are regretting it." Barkley said with a smile.

He really said that not only CCTV is regretting, ESPN, TNT, ABC and other major NBA broadcasters are indeed regretting that there are too few games for the Suns.

Not only is the Suns good-looking, but they obviously miscalculated the state of Lao Wang after his comeback, which will cost them a lot.

However, these major broadcasters are no better than CCTV. Their live broadcast plans for the entire season have been arranged and cannot be adjusted, while CCTV can still increase and make adjustments.

Kenny Smith said: "I heard the voice at the scene, and the commentator said that Old K is still No.1 in active service. I don't think anyone denies this, right?"

Barkley immediately nodded and said: "Judging from the old K's comeback status, neither O'Neill, Kobe, Duncan are capable of challenging the old K's active No.1 position, that's for sure.

There is a big difference in personal strength between them. Even O'Neal has always been weaker than Old K. This is also recognized. If he was stronger than Old K, the Knicks would not have allowed the Lakers to complete their three consecutive championships. "

0:6, Timberwolves attack.

"Poor husky boy, I don't have the idea of ​​zero-blocking you today, you want the ball, I can't guard against you, let you hit one."

The left wing is low, Lao Wang stood inside Garnett, did not make any defensive posture, but his trash talk made Garnett very angry.

"Ha ha……"

After the bottom line, some media reporters who heard this trash talk all burst into laughter, staggered from side to side, and fell down several times.

"ball!"

Everyone has dignity, let alone a superstar like Garnett who is at his peak, immediately stretched his hands to the outside for the ball. Under the grief and anger, his voice was a little distorted.

Lao Wang resolutely did not make a blocking action, and Garnett received the ball smoothly.

"Huskies, I heard you only know how to make layups?" Old Wang's trash talk came again.

"Old K, I'll dunk you again!" Garnett was so angry that his stomach hurt, and he immediately spat back the trash talk, then turned around and started punching back.

He was quite cunning, he said he was going to dunk Lao Wang, but after he dunked twice, he made a turnaround jumper.

There was no way to block the shot. Lao Wang took a step forward and barely blocked it. He missed the ball and turned around quickly after landing, ready to grab a backcourt rebound.

"boom!"

The ball really didn't go in. In order to avoid Lao Wang's block, Garnett shot a little higher, the ball was short, hit the basket and rebounded, and Lao Wang got it.

"Quick attack!"

Countless Suns fans roared excitedly.

"Snapped!"

After Lao Wang made a quick pass, his strength was a little stronger. Nash caught the ball and dropped it, and then Hudson pushed him up. Although he regained control of the ball, it was delayed for a while. The Timberwolves had three people back to defend.

Lao Wang came to the low post, entered the paint area through the free throw line, and was blocked by Garnett.

Barkley said with a smile: "The Huskies did a good job today, they dared to take the initiative to defend Old K."

Kenny Smith said with a smile: "He has no choice. If he avoids it, he will definitely be ridiculed. The disaster he caused must be carried by himself. There is no need for Rasu to help him carry it, and he can't carry it."

But at this time, Rasu also came over and double-teamed Lao Wang in advance.

"The Timberwolves' perimeter defense is confident not to leave open?" Barkley said in surprise.

Barkley had just begun to say that Nash had passed the ball to Stoudemire on the right wing. When Stoudemire received the ball, Anthony Peeler, the shooting guard above, jumped down to defend. He didn't make an open mid-range shot, but dribbled towards the basket.

Garnett immediately half-turned and moved down two steps, blocking the right front side of the basket. Stoudemire hit the right waist, stopped suddenly, and made a throw.

At this time, Pharaoh had already squeezed Rasu away forcibly and moved to the basket.

"boom!"

Stoudemire missed a throw and the ball bounced off the basket.

At this time, Pharaoh jumped up, and Garnett turned around and jumped up almost at the same time, with two big hands reaching for the basketball at the same time.

"boom!"

After all, Lao Wang's movement was faster for an instant, and he jumped in place first, grabbed the ball first, and then pressed directly into the basket to complete a dunk.

"Beautiful! Now 0:8, the Timberwolves have not scored yet, and both offensive and defensive ends are subject to the sun." Kenny Smith said.

Barkley corrected: "It should be controlled by the old K. In the first few offenses and defenses, the old K sent 1 assist, 2 steals and 3 rebounds, including an offensive rebound, and made 2 of 2 shots.

By the way, there was another indirect assist. He launched two quick breaks directly from the backcourt, all of which were scored, and a one-stop dunk after a steal. Such a top offensive and defensive performance was the most important reason for the Timberwolves to get zero seals. "
