Chapter 101 Who still doesn't eat dumplings?
After the steal, the madman dribbled forward by himself and took the lead.

But at the moment of his final layup, the golden number 24 appeared again.

Ye Heping slapped the ball to the backboard.

The 35-year-old madman is really old, and the speed is not as fast as before.

The Los Angeles fans cheered. Ye Heping played differently. He stopped the Timberwolves from scoring twice in the opening game.

Los Angeles has a well-deserved reputation as an impregnable city.

But before everyone was happy, a slender figure came one after another, took the ball in the air, and smashed it directly into the basket.

2: 0.

Kevin Garnett, the soul of the Timberwolves, a man whose desire to win is not weaker than Kobe.

At this time, Vujacic and Butler hadn't run back yet.

It is enough to see Garnett's speed, fighting spirit and enthusiasm.

"Roar!"

Garnett thumped his chest and roared with excitement, his trademark goatee raised high.

Wolf-like fighting spirit, the king of wolves, the eternal wolf king.

Tang Shuai stood up straight away and shouted at the field.

Garnett is fast, but can he be faster than perimeter players like Vujacic and Butler?
Obviously, it's a matter of attitude.

The Lakers attack.

Vujacic this time chose the side where the madman is not there to break through, but still failed.

When he gets inside, Garnett is there waiting for him.

The young Duncan is a one-man zone defense, so why isn't Garnett?
Duncan is better at guarding the basket and holding the monster under the basket.

And Garnett is good at supplementary defense and assist defense, and the defensive range is within the entire three-point line.

Yao Ming once described Garnett's defense as a big spider. With his height and long arms, he forced him to come over.

Vujacic's second error in the opening put the ball in the hands of the Timberwolves.

Garnett passes the ball to Anthony Carter.

But in the middle of the journey, Ye Heping suddenly shot out, like biting gold halfway, and intercepted the ball abruptly.

Mihm catches Ye Ping to pass the ball and hits the board easily to score.

2: 2.

Looking back, Garnett ate Odom alone, it was really like bullying a child, scoring a jumper.

4: 2.

This is the epitome of the first half of the first quarter.

The Timberwolves rely on Garnett's personal ability, and the Lakers also rely on Ye Heping's defense.

It's a pity that Vujacic and Butler made a lot of mistakes, causing the Lakers to fall behind.

In 6 minutes, at 16:12, the Lakers lost by 4 points.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Tang Shuai replaced Cook and Atkins.

Field lineup: Mihm, Odom, Cook, Ye Heping, Atkins.

A small and a big four, with strong projection ability.

Atkins singled out Anthony Carter, and the emergency stop jumper after the breakthrough, huh!

16: 14.

The little prince of abuse is online!
Anthony can kill Atkins, Carter can beat Atkins, but Atkins can beat Anthony Carter before he can kill him.

Looking back, the madman ate Cook by his speed.

18: 14.

But Atkins immediately made a chasing three-pointer, which directly stunned the Timberwolves.

18: 17.

Do you think you are Kobe, dare to play like this?
But Atkins has always played like this. If he fails to make a shot, he is attacking a black hole.

The madman broke through again, and Ye Heping deliberately came up to help defend.

The madman was double-teamed, but he was still unwilling to pass the ball. After adjusting in the air, he forced a shot.

boom!
Old is old, how can it be possible to play like a 35-year-old at the age of 25?

Atkins holds the ball, and Madman also comes up to help defend.

But before the double-team was formed, Atkins threw the ball to the bottom corner, and Cook raised his knife and dropped it, whoosh!
18: 20.

The Lakers took the lead.

It's not surprising that the Lakers went ahead. It's strange that Atkins has such a good offensive option.

But who doesn't want to eat dumplings?

Kobe at No. 8 and Tracy McGrady of the Magic occasionally pass the ball.

Beep beep!

Coach Sanders called a timeout.

Sanders is Garnett's mentor, and Garnett respects him very much.Things changed later, but the mentoring relationship between the two never changed.When Sanders died, Garnett sat in front of his mentor's parking space for a long time and refused to leave.

Moreover, Sanders is also a capable coach, but in his coaching career, it is often difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Minnesota is a place where no one really wants to come. There has never been a big-name star who has taken the initiative to join, either in the draft (Marbury, Garnett, Love), or a down-and-out star who has nowhere to go (Madman, Rose), the sadness of a small ball market.

The three-headed monster of the Timberwolves, Gas Zerbiak, looks powerful, but he is also ostentatious.

Madman is 35 years old, Alien is 36 years old, and Szczerbiak has been deposed by Bowen.

And apart from these four, the Timberwolves couldn't even find a qualified role player.

Elvin Johnson and Anthony Carter are really only famous, and they have no chance to enter the rotation in the Lakers.

After returning from the timeout, Szczerbiak stepped up to the small forward, and the 35-year-old madman remained on the court. There was really no one to replace him.

After playing, "Handsome Guy" immediately hit a very chic jumper.

20: 20.

This can be regarded as helping the Timberwolves stop the bleeding.

But Tang Shuai reacted quickly and immediately replaced Odom with Luke Wharton. Wharton must be faster than Cook, and it is not difficult to entangle the "handsome guy".

Szczerbiak is a tragic figure. He was a rookie in 99, won the MVP of the Rookie Challenge in the second grade, and entered the All-Star in the third grade.Able to shoot, attack and defend, plus handsome appearance, excellent physical fitness, superb basketball IQ, absolutely popular superstar seedling.

It's a pity that everything was defeated by that Foshan Wuying foot.

Since then, Szczerbiak has played on and off for several years, but his attendance rate has not been high.

Fans can see that Szczerbiak has been improving. After going to the Celtics, he can learn back-up singles from Uncle Pi. His talent is really outstanding.

such a pity!
But for the Lakers, Atkins immediately made another three-pointer.

20: 23.

Los Angeles fans are stunned. Atkins, who has been called the most useless point guard in the league by them, has become Chucky True Thighs Atkins today.

In just 2 minutes, he made 3 of 3 shots and scored 8 points and 1 assist. Are you sure this is the offensive black hole?
It seems that Atkins not only wants to eat dumplings tonight, but also dumplings filled with meat, no!It's crab roe.

Soon, it's time for a rotation.

After all, Garnett and Sprewell are going to rest, and Szczerbiak leads the team.

For the Lakers, Atkins, Cook, Grant, Walton, Butler.

This bench lineup is actually pretty average, or even poor.But compared to the Timberwolves' substitute, it is simply high-quality.

Three minutes into the second quarter of the game, the Timberwolves were already 3 points behind at 27:36.

Coach Sanders saw that something was wrong and immediately replaced Garnett.
