Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 99 Iron Blood Big Jump Shot

Under the command of the referee, players from both sides entered the court, but at this time, Kevin Garnett walked towards the basketball hoop.

He bumped his head against the basketball hoop twice before walking towards the center of the field devoutly.

The referee was not impatient, but waited a few more seconds.

In today's Timberwolves, there is no orthodox center, so Garnett can only be on top.

You know, it's not easy.

At the beginning of Garnett's career, the team intended to let him play the center, but he directly rejected it.

It's definitely not what the rumors said, saying that he was scared of being beaten by O'Neill. To put it bluntly, his physical resistance cannot withstand the crushing of the center.

Except for Yao Ming who was fooled too much by the NBA, most players would not be willing to gain a lot of weight.

As professional players, they know full well that excessive weight gain can threaten their careers.

Garnett and Wen Baker jumped the ball without any accidents, and the Timberwolves got the first chance to attack.

Let's put it this way, there are really not many people in the NBA who are Garnett's opponents when it comes to single-round jump balls.

With a height of 213 cm, plus a wingspan of 220 cm, and the legendary bounce that can touch the top of the backboard.

As far as this talent is concerned, few people in the NBA can match it.

The Timberwolves' starter, in addition to Garnett, is naturally Joe Smith who is partnering with him inside.

As for the three outsiders, Wallis Zebiak serves as the small forward, and the guards are Anthony Peeler and Trier Brandon.

Trier Brandon took possession of the ball halfway, found Garnett who was in the high post immediately, and handed the ball over.

This is the characteristic of Garnett's offense. In the offense, he seldom enters the interior, and more often supports in high positions, or asks for the ball in the middle distance.

Garnett, with the ball in the high position, is waiting for his teammates to run to see if he can get a chance.

It's a pity that in today's NBA, not every team will strictly play tactics in every round, and more of them are singles after the position.

Garnett didn't want to play singles, so he could only play tactics.

It's a pity that the Sonics' defense is not bad, and they didn't give the Timberwolves a clear chance.

The Timberwolves could only change their tactics. Trier went around the three-point line to respond, and Garnett returned the ball.

At this time, Trier used Garnett's cover to take the opportunity to break through, and Horace just delayed.

That's right, Horace is naturally the one defending Garnett. If Wen Baker is really replaced, he will probably be blown away.

At the moment of attracting the defense, Trier directly made a pass back, and the basketball returned to Garnett's hands again.

The high-ranking Garnett didn't delay and just made a jumper. Could this be the legendary Jagged jumper?
The basketball directly draws a standard parabola and falls steadily into the basket.

Wang Hao happened to be under the basket and was about to grab a rebound. Now he had to pick up the ball and then serve.

"Roar!"

However, at this moment, a roar sounded suddenly, which really shocked Wang Hao!
His first reaction was, could there be a conflict?
Wang Hao turned his head quickly, and was even thinking, if there was a conflict, would he fight it or try to persuade it?
However, when he turned around, everyone was dumbfounded. How could there be any conflict?
One by one, the defense should be returned, the offense should be attacked, and the serve should be served.

Only Garnett, standing at the top of the three-point line, tore his jersey with his hands, roared to the sky, and his face was even more ferocious.

This is the legendary Jagged Jumper!
It's just that the jumper is in the front and the iron blood is in the back.

Wang Hao came back to his senses with a bewildered face, and was about to serve, when he met the referee's eyes.

The referee had a disdainful expression, as if to say: He looks like he has never seen the world, there are strange things everywhere, especially in the NBA, rookie, just wait and see, there are more.

Thanks to Wang Hao's strong self-control, he quickly sent the ball and brought his mind back. The key is to hit the ball well!

The Sonics attacked. This time, Gary Payton hadn't commanded the running tactics, but when Wen Baker was about to be in place, he demanded the ball strongly.

You know, Garnett is guarding him from behind.

Gary Payton didn't hesitate, he hit the ground and passed the ball, and easily handed the ball to Wen Baker.

After getting the ball, there was no delay. Wen Baker broke through directly. Although he failed to pass Garnett, he grabbed the position in the confrontation.

As far as Wen Baker's current weight is concerned, although his speed is greatly reduced, it also gives him an extremely advantage in confrontation.

A fake back turn, followed by a forward turn, and then a small hook hit.

It has to be said that this series of technical moves really demonstrated Wen Baker's status as an all-star insider.

Even Garnett, who has been defending for a while all the year round, can only stare blankly, watching the basketball go into the basket.

"Damn idiot!"

Garnett cursed and went to serve. The trash talk had already started just after the game.

The Timberwolves' offense still focuses on Garnett, but this time Garnett is asking for the ball in the middle distance.

He faced the basket head-on with the ball, and under Horace's defense, he made continuous test steps, but nothing came out.

Horace, who is experienced in defense, will not give a chance.

Consecutive scoring feints were fruitless, and Garnett was also very straightforward, directly pulling up and using his height and wingspan to shoot.

It's a pity that Jagged missed a big jumper this time!
Wen Baker protected the rebound, the Sonics switched offense, and everyone rushed to the Timberwolves half court in an instant.

This time, under the defense of Garnett, Wen Baker did not easily get the chance to catch the ball.

Wang Hao didn't delay either, but started to move, but Szczerbiak followed closely behind him.

With Wang Hao's current tactical status, Gary Payton still chose to pass the ball even if the opportunity was not particularly good.

Now, his style of play has also become very clear, that is, try to leave the start to his teammates as much as possible, and he focuses on organizing offense and defense.

When the team needs him, or in the second half of the game, he will be fully fired.

Without a chance to catch and shoot, Wang Hao held the ball and was about to break through, but Szczerbiak on the opposite side suddenly spoke.

"Wang, come on, I won't let you score easily.

This season, you played really well, but we are definitely not rubbish! "

When he said this, Szczerbiak was full of resentment. It was really the recent words from the media that made him very uncomfortable.

In fact, it's not just Szczerbiak who is uncomfortable, but most of this year's rookies.

There is no way, Wang Hao's performance is too good, coupled with his almost unsuccessful status, almost all rookies have been named and criticized.

The second-round rookies chose to lie flat. After all, they didn't have many opportunities to perform, and the media couldn't remember their names.

But first-round picks, especially those lottery picks, are different.

When almost everyone faced Wang Hao, it was as if their blood had been spat out, holding back their energy and wanting to show off.

For such a challenge, Wang Hao naturally accepted it calmly.
