Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 9 9. Wild and arrogant wolf cubs!
Back in the second quarter, the two sides rotated the lineup and replaced the substitute lineup to compete.

The second team of the Warriors this season is pretty good, especially the backline Clexton and "Old Fish" Fisher both have good personal abilities.

Coupled with the pseudo 3D player Pietrus, this also allows the Warriors to maintain sufficient court competitiveness during the rotation stage.

But relatively speaking, the Timberwolves' second lineup is also worthwhile, and the death squad headed by "Dragon Knife" Hudson can be said to perform their duties.

Counting Divac who was put on the bench by head coach Luke, this is enough to ensure that the Timberwolves will not fall into a chaotic stage after the main force is off.

At least Divac's excellent coping ability can help the Timberwolves survive the time when Garnett is not on the court.

In addition, Luke did not perform five-up and five-down operations like he did when coaching the European Tau team.

In more cases, Luke will let the madman rest in the second half of the first quarter so that the madman can continue to lead the team in the first half of the second quarter.

Some people say that Madman's playing style is somewhat similar to Kobe's. Both of them are the kind of players who are extremely confident in offense and have rich offensive methods.

So for the madman, Luke still trusts him all the time.

It is worth mentioning that in Madman's 12-year career, Madman has not averaged less than 15 points per game in any season, and the lowest season dates back to 15.4 points in his rookie season.

This is also the reason why there are still a lot of teams rushing to get him after the madman's "throat lock" incident that year.

If it wasn't for the madman who later disdain the Timberwolves for a three-year contract of 2100 million US dollars, and even said that the annual salary of less than 1000 million is not enough to support his family, and then retire directly on the spot, then I believe that the career of the "madman" will definitely be more exciting.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that Sprewell is worthy of his title of "madman". After all, in terms of his arrogance, no one in the entire league can surpass Sprewell.

Throughout the second quarter, with the performance of the second team, the Warriors gradually narrowed the score. Even with six and a half minutes left in the second quarter, the Warriors once narrowed the point difference to three points.

But with the gradual return of the Timberwolves' main lineup, the Warriors were once again battered, and the point difference was once again widened to double digits.

At the end of the final half, the Timberwolves already held a 16-point lead, which meant that the Warriors would be sent into garbage time in half a quarter.

In addition, the three-headed monster played very well in the first half, especially Garnett. Facing Troy Murphy's defense, Garnett was full of firepower in this game, and he blasted off at halftime. 23 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

As we all know, Garnett has never been a player known for his offensive ability in the league. Even at his peak, Garnett's offensive level only averaged around 25 points per game.

So from this point, it is not difficult to see how bad Murphy's defensive ability is. Not only was he sieved by Garnett in one-on-one, but he was also played around by Cassel when defending pick-and-rolls. Like being a clown.

After returning from the second half, even if the Warriors trailed by 16 points at halftime, for offensive coach Montgomery, he would naturally not give up.

After all, this year is not only Luke's first year in the NBA to coach, but also Montgomery's first season in the NBA.

Under such circumstances, Montgomery is naturally unwilling to give up any game. Even Montgomery himself knows that it is very difficult for the Warriors to complete a comeback in this game, but Montgomery still wants to fight the Timberwolves to the end.

Throughout the second half, as the team gained a huge lead, the Timberwolves gradually began to indulge on the offensive end.

In particular, Madman and Hudson provoked each other even more. On the offensive end, they began to let their teammates pull away, just to humiliate each other in one-on-one singles.

Because it is not easy to meet a team with a defense as poor as the Warriors, and when the team leads by a large score, the madman naturally wants to show off.

Seeing the various bad habits of Madman and Hudson on the court, Luke sat down the court with a calm face, and had no intention of interrupting the game at all.

Even though the madman had put his tactics behind him, Luke just liked the wildness of these wolf cubs.

In other words, if the Timberwolves lack this madness, it will be difficult to make a difference in this period. The Phoenix Suns have already paid a bloody price for this.

What's more, the defending champion of the league this year is called the Pistons, which is a naked brutal team.

If the Timberwolves want to win the championship, then this wildness and arrogance must continue into the playoffs, even if it is against the entire league, Luke will not care.

Anyway, when he was in the European League that year, Luke had already managed to stand against the entire European basketball world, but in the end Luke still succeeded and became the "bishop of the abyss" that people feared.

In addition, because Luke wants Garnett to explode in data during this period, he can win Karl Malone to the greatest extent.

So in the third quarter, when the Timberwolves had already led by nearly 20 points, Luke still kept Garnett on the court and let him continue to cut melons and vegetables.

In the second half, Garnett also played fiercely. Facing the inside twin towers composed of Murphy and Foyer, Garnett can be regarded as a good addict. He can play as he wants on the offensive end without feeling uncomfortable at all. to stress.

At the end of the game, with the three-headed monsters teaming up to score 79 points, the Timberwolves beat the Warriors by 24 points in an away game. While winning two consecutive victories at the start of the game, they beat their opponents by 46 points in total in the two games.

This number is somewhat brutal. Even though the overall strength of the Warriors and Lakers is average, the Timberwolves' dominance has begun to spread in the league.

全场比赛加内特面对墨菲的防守狂砍36分17篮板5助攻4抢断以及3次封盖。

This data is enough to fully demonstrate Garnett's offensive and defensive dominance. Even according to the current style of play, Garnett is likely to be re-elected as the regular season MVP, making his career honor a step further.

In addition, "Madman" Sprewell also scored 32 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists in this game, especially the casualness on the offensive end, which almost made Pietrus unable to bear the challenge. Hit the hand.

If it weren't for the consideration of the gap between the enemy and the enemy, then I believe that if someone is changed, Pietrus will definitely let out a bad breath.

But it was the "madman" who made the big show in front of him, and there were Garnett and Griffin standing behind him, so Pietrus could only grit his teeth and swallow this grievance.

至于“外星人”卡塞尔在本场比赛则只斩获下11分，但在串联球队方面卡塞尔却送出了12次助攻，全场11分6篮板12助攻的数据也让卡塞尔显得丝毫不会唐突。

It can be said that after Luke took office, the biggest change in the entire team is Cassel.

Cassell has been playing post-ups in the low post since last season. Up to now, he has mainly played in series with teams, supplemented by post-ups. This is one of the biggest changes for the Timberwolves this season.

It is no exaggeration to say that Cassell should thank Luke for taking office, otherwise Cassell, who is 35 years old this year, does not know how he will be used by the old Sanders.

In terms of others, "Handsome" Szczerbiak hit a total of five three-pointers and contributed 17 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals.

格里芬11分8篮板4封盖，哈德森15分3助攻，霍伊博格9分2篮板1助攻，哈塞尔7分6篮板，以及迪瓦茨的6分4篮板4助攻等等。

The victory over the Warriors not only allowed the Timberwolves to maintain their winning streak at the start of the game, the most important thing is that the current team atmosphere of the Timberwolves has become better and better, and the players have also become more and more confident on the court.

The competitive state of Garnett and "Madman" made the fans even more proud. Even though the season has just started, Minnesota seems to have a crazy atmosphere!
