Chapter 34 Our paint area is like a street girl

American Airlines Center, eight o'clock at night.

The attendance rate of the arena was just over half, and it seemed a little deserted.

In the Mourning era, although the Heat's style of play was not good, fans were still willing to buy tickets if they could win.

But now, it's ugly and losing, the fans naturally don't buy it.

It can even be said that among the few fans in the first place, there are still many fans of "Wolf King" Garnett.

In the TNT commentary seat on the sidelines, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley talked about Jordan's loss in Las Vegas.

They thought that was more fun than the game.

Then, the two sides played.

Timberwolves: Olowokandi, "Wolf King" Garnett, Mark Madsen, "Madman" Sprewell, "Alien" Kassel.

The Timberwolves are strong on paper.

Peak Garnett.

Quasi-All-Star Cassell.

In the second grade, he entered the All-Star, first-team, and second-defense Sprewell.

In 98, Olowokandi, the champion of parallel imports, actually had 12.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.2 blocks last season.

Only Madsen is a passerby.

Mark Passer Madsen.

Heat here: Cato, Grant, Odom, Jones, Alston.

Wade just came back, the coaching staff did not let him start.

jump ball.

Olowokandi crushed Cato and turned the ball back half-court.

Cassel slowly advances with the ball.

In the frontcourt, Cassel and Garnett do pick-and-roll.

After disassembling, Garnett received the pass and made a direct shot from mid-range.

Swish!
2: 0.

Timberwolves head start.

The Heat have the ball.

Alston broke through Cassel with a cross step, but was stopped by Garnett who was supplementing the defense, and immediately gave the ball to Odom.

Odom singled out Madsen, a passerby. Madsen couldn't keep up with the speed and was squeezed sideways by Odom.

Garnett again, he blocked Odom.

Odom doesn't stick the ball and passes to Jones.

Jones made a mid-range shot.

With the ball still in his hand, a tall black shadow rushed over.

Or Garnett!
Jones shot quickly, and Garnett missed the shot, but gave interference and psychological pressure.

Bang!

The ball did not go in.

Olowokandika blocked Grant and Cato and struggled to get a defensive rebound.

The number one pick in parallel imports is just a bit worse than the number one pick, but among the blue-collar insiders, Olowokandi is not bad, and can even be said to be first-rate.

The inside line with 12.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 2.2 blocks was an absolute favorite in the O'Neal era.

The score was still 2:0, the Timberwolves attacked.

Ernie Johnson commented: "Karnett's defensive range is too large, he is like an eight-clawed spider, and his web is within the three-point line."

Buckley curled his lips in disdain: "That's because Uncle Charles is not here."

He doesn't seem to like Garnett.

Kenny Smith immediately dismantled the situation: "Of course, you are a flying god pig, and you can beat Garnett by weight alone."

This is a joke that after Barkley retired, his figure swelled up at a terrifying speed.

Hahaha!
The commentary seats burst into laughter, and the fans were also amused.

The game continued, and Garnett continued to score with mid-range shots.

On the defensive end, Garnett is everywhere.

Relying on Garnett's brave performance, the Timberwolves quickly established an advantage.

After half a quarter, 14:8, the Timberwolves have led by 6 points.

Miami fans couldn't help shaking their heads in disappointment.

Those who can continue to support the team when the team is weak are diehard fans of the Heat.

Of course, Garnett's fans must be removed first.

But their loyalty and expectations only lead to disappointment.

In the commentary, Barkley chatted again: "If you want to become a millionaire, go to Las Vegas quickly. As long as you bet on the opposite side of Michael, you can win a lot of money immediately."

In a one-sided game, the commentators are not interested in chatting.

It's the Timberwolves' offensive round again.

Garnett held the ball in a high position. In excellent condition, he did not attack by himself, but directed his teammates to run.

"Sam, cut in from the flank. Mark, cover. The others space out, yeah, like we did in practice. Run and kill those pussies over there, they ain't worth mentioning. Wolves don't Stopped by a group of girls, their only goal is the throne!"

The Timberwolves did not run in well, and Garnett hoped to use actual combat to run in his teammates. After all, actual combat is the most effective.

His words are also very morale-boosting.

But several Heat players on the court heard it, and their faces quickly became ugly.

What the hell are you... Where is this?

Treat us as tool people and use us to train soldiers?Of course it can...but you can't say it.

It's a different nature when you say it out, it's an obvious humiliation.

Their faces gradually turned ferocious, and they vowed to exterminate the Timberwolves.

But soon, Sprewell rushed inside, received a pass from Garnett, and forced a dunk against Cato.

boom!
16: 8.

hoo hoo hoo!
After the dunk, Sprewell kept roaring.

Madman was once suppressed by the league because of the chokehold coach.

And now, he felt reborn.

Facing the auditorium, Sprewell kept roaring.

Heat fans were disappointed.

In the Mourning era, which team dared to underestimate the Heat.Even if they lose, the Heat can make their opponents take off a layer of skin.

But now, the Timberwolves dare to humiliate the Heat like this.

Suddenly, there was a lot of scolding.

"Our paint area is not fortified? It's like a street girl. Guests can come and leave whenever they want, and they don't even need to spend money."

"Come on, I paid to watch a bunch of women play, so why don't I just go to the WNBA."

"Heat, go to hell! Faker, I never watch your games again."

……

Miami fans exploded.

Throughout last year, the Heat played like Tuo Xiang, they suppressed for too long.

This season, the Heat started with a five-game losing streak, and they are also the last in the league.

Encountering today's incident again, it happened to be a fuse that ignited the emotions of the fans.

Coach Da Fan broke out in a cold sweat.

What the NBA earns is the fans' money, and the fans are the God of the NBA.If the Miami fans put pressure, the team will definitely use him as a scapegoat and cut him, and Pat Riley can't keep it.

Drop drop!
Da Fan immediately called a timeout and sent all the team's best defenders up.

Ridiculous to say, the Heat's best defense is actually three rookies: Li Lei, Haslem, Wade.

But no matter where they are, rookies are the hardest. This is also common sense.

However, the fans didn't buy it. No matter what Dafan does now, they don't like it.

"The team should also replace Stan Van Gundy, he is not as good as his brother Jeff."

"Riley, we need you!"

Speaking of which, Da Fan is an older brother.But in the position of head coach, Da Fan is a rookie, while Xiao Fan is a veteran.

Coach Da Fan's head was going to explode, so he could only pretend to be calm, wipe his sweat, and stare at the situation on the field.

Heat five people on the field: Grant, Haslem, Lamar Odom, Li Lei, Wade.

The game continues.

Wade broke through with the ball, as fast as lightning.

The 34-year-old Cassel is powerless, after all, he is afraid of the young and strong!
Even Garnett didn't expect Wade to be so fast, and the defense was a step slower.

Olowokandi jumped out.

Wade saw it, and sent the basketball inside.

Haslem dunks the ball.

boom!
16: 10.

This is also an answerball for Sprewell, beautiful!
The mood of Miami fans eased a lot.

The team's rookies this year are fairly up-to-date, and this is their only consolation.

Timberwolves attack.

"Madman" Sprewell felt the rookie's offense and asked for the ball directly in the frontcourt.

Of course Garnett will give it. Madman had 16.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.4 steals last season. He is Garnett's most important helper.

The madman is in good condition, and the Timberwolves can go further this season.

Madman catches the ball.

A yellow-skinned rookie stood in front of him.

The No. 15 player of the Heat is Li Lei.
