Chapter 168 The Timberwolves Strike

Kevin Garnett, NBA legendary superstar, the top one, this guy is still No.1 on the scoring list this year, because McGrady is in the process of treatment and recovery, and the chatter is popularizing the law in the police station, the scoring leader in the 03~04 season seems to be in an embarrassing position that no one cares about.

Now Garnett is the only one in the league who is focusing on scoring points, and Iverson is lacking interest this year.

At 2 pm on February 17th, the Pistons' game against the Timberwolves at the Palace of Auburn Hills began.

Big Ben brought Rasheed Wallace, Lin Sa, Hamilton, and Billups with a dark face. He and Lin Sa didn't even have time to adjust. The plane landed and was about to prepare for the game. Now he was in a bad mood.

It wasn't that he couldn't keep up physically, but after the All-Star Game, Daben found that his participation was not much different from that of his younger brother Lin Sa. They were basically names on the list, and his appearance time was extremely limited. It was completely different from the Song of Iron and Fire he had imagined.

Old Brown routinely asked Lin Sa and Da Ben if they needed to rest. Both of them were full of energy now, so of course they directly refused.

The Pistons lineup is extremely complete. As long as there are no problems with the Pistons, there is no need to adjust the lineup. Five Tigers Garlin Sa, except for Rasheed Wallace, all have cheap contracts.

On the Timberwolves side, Garnett brought Sprewell, Cassel, Hassell and Johnson to the stage, accompanied by the howling DJ music.

It is worth mentioning that this center named Irvin Johnson has the same name as Magic Johnson. The NBA is so big, but it is aimed at players from all over the world.

The first time Lin Sa saw this name, she was startled, but after it was popularized, Lin Sa felt that he might be in arrears with his IQ. After all, Johnson is 44 years old now, and although the contract has not yet ended, he is still playing a fart.

The current lineup of the Timberwolves is quite gorgeous. Although Johnson is not a top center, his defensive ability is also a first-line category. Coupled with the backcourt combination of Madman and Cassell, it can be called both offensive and defensive, especially with Garnett.

Daben has never won a jump ball. Fortunately, not only is the Pistons now, but the opponents are used to it. Garnett easily caught Johnson's jump ball and rushed into the Pistons for a few rounds. Rasheed Wallace was a bit strong, but it was not a big problem. When he found a chance, Garnett passed to Sprewell.

Lin Sa narrowed his eyes. Just now, the madman despised him. Although he didn't move, that look couldn't deceive anyone. His uncle, didn't he just shoot a jumper, so arrogant?

But then the madman dubbed the disdain, and said loudly to his teammates: "They're all All-Stars, that's it?"

In the Pistons' offense, Lin Sa served the ball to Billups, and then ran to the inside empty-handed. Lin Sa didn't play cards today, but his own hardware has been upgraded several times and he can indeed play in the paint.

And now that the Pistons are in such a brave state, Lin Sa believes that Johnson will definitely not be able to beat Daben.

Lin Sa entered the line, and Sprewell came out to defend. This madman still has strength, his defense is very solid, and his height is similar to Lin Sa's.

In terms of speed, Lin Sa was much faster, especially in the first step, the madman was passed very cleanly, and Lin Sa hit a jumper.

Lin Sa made a 'cut' at Sprewell, turned his head and walked away. The goal was conceited, but the effect was very good. Sprewell exploded on the spot. For so many years, he despised others. Who dares to despise him in the entire NBA!
This kid doesn't want to live anymore?
The chain of contempt is still going on, and Sprewell is also a master who never takes revenge overnight. He took the ball and hit Lin Sa forcefully. Lin Sa has become a lot stronger, but he is still not good enough to play against a top shooting guard like Sprewell.

Lin Sa originally thought he was going to lose points, but in the next moment, Lin Sa felt that he was blind. Sprewell actually carried the ball and hit the inside of the Pistons. Garnett panicked and shouted, but the madman ignored him and just rushed!
Big Ben took a step out of the basket, and Sprewell was forced to stop, made an emergency stop, then moved a step, and made a jump shot!

The ball is in!
Sprewell flew Lin Sa away and avoided Da Ben's block, which surprised Da Ben. It's been a long time since I've seen someone so fearless.

Sprewell was so stunned that his hands and feet wavy when he walked.

Billups is attacking with the ball. Today Billups needs to be a quiet tool man, because the Timberwolves’ zone defense ability is very good. This is the league’s top joint defense zone.

Billups' job is very simple, don't be robbed of the ball, just give the ball to the person who is most suitable for shooting.

Then, Lin Sa was stunned. He really didn't know what Billups was thinking. Did he look like the best offensive point? Why did the ball fall into his hands again?

This time, Sprewell was not polite at all, he stuck to the defense, and then called two people to quickly come over and double-team the three!
The most terrifying tactic of the Timberwolves is this year's restricted zone defense. The Pistons and Pacers are the apex of the defensive lineup, but in terms of defensive ability, the Timberwolves are the strongest this year. They rely on Garnett's terrifying athletic ability.

In addition to the top scorers, the Timberwolves have locked 80.00% of the league's singles players.

Lin Sa was dumbfounded holding the ball. He felt that Billups and the Timberwolves were targeting him. With the ball in his hand, Lin Sa didn't even have a stable passing route. How could he play?
: "Boy, you vote again." Sprewell's trash talk attack.

In this situation, the shot must die, but the pass is also easy to be intercepted. This year, the Timberwolves averaged 5.2 steals per game, leading the league, which is frightening.

Lin Sa had to be careful when dribbling the ball, and then Lin Sa leaned against Sprewell. This guy looked strong, but he was actually not immovable, and Lin Sa was taller now, which had an advantage. Sprewell's strength was at the same level as Lin Sa's, and Lin Sa gained a little room to move when he bumped into others.

Lin Sa took advantage of the little gap, stepped out, and then threw the ball desperately above the basketball!

Big Ben was stuck under the basket, and Hamilton rushed in to prepare for an alley-oop slam dunk!
At this time, a slender figure suddenly cut to the basket at a terrifying speed. Hamilton was only three steps away from the inside line, but when he finished his two-step run and took off to catch the ball, a figure jumped up from the other side of the field.

The moment Hamilton received the ball, Ben didn't even have time to react, Garnett had already slapped the ball far away!
