Chapter 571. 571. Whiteside's Good Friday

Antetokounmpo is already in the third grade. He has gone through the baptism of the playoffs twice and won the championship. He is also talented. At this stage, in Garnett's opinion, Downs is really not as good as Antetokounmpo. .

Listening to Towns' question, Garnett didn't know if he should tell the truth, he was really afraid of hitting this brat.

Garnett now is very different from Garnett when he was young. When he was young, he used to use blows to hone the spirit of his teammates, but now he may be approaching his forties, and his heart has softened a lot.

But he doesn't like to talk, and nodded to Towns, saying that this is the weakest starter of the Lakers.

Just when Garnett thought that Towns might be hit and lost confidence in playing against the Lakers, he saw Towns shining for two years and said: "Cool!"

"It's so cool to play against such a powerful opponent!" Towns showed Garnett's incomprehensible excitement, "It's a pity that you are so old, Boss Kevin. If you are in your 20s like the boss on the opposite side, wow, the two of us One might be able to kill them."

Hearing the last half of Downs' sentence, Garnett instantly wanted to scold someone, and all the little bit of intolerance towards Downs ran to the horizon.

"This kid!" Garnett ignored Towns and ran forward.

Garnett heard Kobe complain that Liu Ren was a spoiled kid who was so angry that he was mad. He still laughed at Kobe for not being as majestic as the boss, but now it was his turn, he couldn't laugh anymore.

The Timberwolves were attacking, and Rubio looked at a guy who looked like a center forward and defended himself with a speed similar to his own. That feeling was as uncomfortable as eating dark food.

At this time, Rubio saw Towns coming to the inside and leaning against Whiteside to ask for the ball, and he passed it immediately.

Downs beats Whiteside back!
I have to say that Towns' skills can really be called the best center among Americans!

This is only a rookie year, and he is quite skilled in all kinds of skills, even stronger than Anthony Davis back then!

It's not that Whiteside's defense is not good, but that Towns' back-up skills are really good, and his beautiful footsteps receive a turnaround jumper and send the ball into the basket.

There is no suspense that Whiteside is the most popular defensive player of the year this year. Even Green can't match it. After all, he is a center and has become a starter. He can have more opportunities to show his abilities.

And Whiteside was tricked by Towns' beautiful footsteps, which made fans very curious about Towns, the new No. [-] pick.

Yes, someone borrowed the Lakers fans again.

Just like Curry and Thompson played the best performance of their careers against the Lakers and attracted a large number of fans, Towns came to the Staples Center in the first game of his rookie year.

The Timberwolves are indeed much worse than the Lakers. They were beaten half to death by the Lakers in two or three hits. In just a few minutes, the difference was more than 10 points.

But Towns' performance is unique in the entire Timberwolves, and his performance is better than that of the second-year champion Wiggins. Towns has three-pointers and mid-range shots, and his shooting percentage is still very high. The mid-range distance exceeds 30.00%, and the three-pointer exceeds [-]%. Five, Whiteside De defended him more strictly in the interior, so he pulled out and shot a three-pointer, which really blew up Whiteside who was not ready!
Garnett was a little dumbfounded, this kid can do it!He wasn't so tough in training! Why is he so tough in the competition?

Whiteside was even more furious, and was blown away by a rookie!
Towns scored 17 points in the first quarter and became famous in the first quarter. Although, the Timberwolves lost more than 22 points to the Lakers in the first quarter of 42 to 40. It is really quite miserable, but Whiteside is so angry!
Everyone on the Lakers beat up the opponent, but he was beaten by a rookie alone.

"Hassan, you are so useless! That rookie scored 17 points." Liu Ren leaned forward again with an embarrassed face.

In the first quarter, he defended the No. 15 pick, Lang Wiggins, to death, and then scored 18 points from inside and outside. With 33 points, Antetokounmpo and Green were very good at assisting and defending the opponent. Even Kobe played well against Prince, who is also an old man. Only Whitesey Germany alone was abused.

Hearing Liu Ren's ridicule, Whiteside became even more furious in an instant: "I will make him look good right away!"

"I also think you can make him look good, but you have no chance. It seems that we don't play in the second quarter."

Hearing Liu Ren's words, Whiteside looked at D'Antoni and found that Clarkson, LaVine, Nick Young, Monroe, and Gasol were called aside. Obviously, these five people will replace the starting five. .

D'Antoni now has a lot of players, and there is no one in the rotation. He started with five players in the first quarter, and continued with five players in the second quarter.

It's just that shameless, it's just that rascal, it's because of its many stars.

Of course, it was the coaches sitting across from him who called D'Antoni a rascal and shameless.

Although Sanders hates D'Antoni very much, D'Antoni expressed embarrassment about switching from the Timberwolves to LaVine in the first round with two last positions, so he changed to an offensive lineup and did not plan to defend against the Timberwolves. , can't do too much, no.

Then the Timberwolves saw that LaVine began to show his talent.

Being pressed on the bench for a whole year in his rookie year, there must be some disadvantages for LaVine, but the benefits are more!
He has better guidance from celebrities, and he didn't play too many games in his rookie year, which avoided his injuries. Originally, he was injured and rested for several months in April of his rookie year. As a result, the summer after his rookie year was basically in the Rehabilitation, the improvement in the second year is obvious.

But he was not injured in this time and space. He followed Clarkson to nowhere in the summer and practiced hard for a summer. When he came back, he was stronger and stronger, and his skills were about to catch up with Clarkson.

Clarkson expressed despair about this, talent is really enviable!

After LaVine and Clarkson played, the two have been training together for more than a year and cultivated a tacit understanding. In addition, both of them have the strength of the NBA starting level. They beat the Timberwolves to the backcourt and made Sanders angry. itch.

LaVine, Clarkson... If anyone comes to their Timberwolves, Sanders will have a better lineup to come up with. Rubio is indeed stronger than LaVine and Clarkson now, but his function is too single!Nothing but defense and passing.

Clarkson and LaVine are all-rounders. They can score, have certain organizational skills and rebounding skills. Compared with Rubio, it is easier to create more styles of play, and Rubio has to control the ball when he plays, otherwise he is invisible. It is the reason why Rubio and Rondo are obviously very strong, but they are not seen by the management of this era.

What makes Sanders hate the Lakers the most is why did the Lakers prefer to use two first-rounders last year instead of one first-rounder and one Clarkson to exchange lottery picks with them?LaVine snatched it away, at least give it to Clarkson!

But he himself forgot that the Lakers did propose to use one first round and one second round, and they themselves wanted two first rounds...

Biao attacked, Towns was happier, and the Timberwolves were also happier. Anyway, they couldn’t play, at least the scene was better, and the Lakers were also very happy. Both Gasol and Monroe have the ability to average more than 5 assists per game, and The inside line is also a threat, and the Lakers' three outside shots are quite happy.

Only Whiteside on the sidelines looked desperate.

Looking at the 20-plus points with no signs of narrowing, Whiteside knew that it was basically impossible for him to have a chance to play in the remaining time. The Lakers have so many insiders and there is not enough time.

With 2 points and 6 rebounds, Whiteside looked at his statistics, and then looked at Towns' 28 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. This is only halftime data. He has already guessed how the media will describe today's game.

From this moment, Whiteside began to hate Downs, and it was the kind of hatred that lasted forever...
