my golden age

Chapter 66
TNT released the starting lineup list of both sides.

Timberwolves: Kassel, Sprewell, Ndi Ibi (206CM), Garnett, Olowokandi!

Lakers: Goofy, Kobe, Luke Walton, Odom, Kwame Brown!
The referee on duty was Kenmore, holding the game ball, about to go to the halfway line for a jump ball.

Kenny Smith saw Olowokandi and Kwame Brown standing on both sides of the middle circle, and said with a smile: "The meeting between these two people is really effective for the show."

Barkley laughed: "We can see who is the top pick."

Kwame Brown and Olowokandi couldn't hear the voice of the commentary, and leaned forward, waiting for the referee Kenmore to throw the basketball in their hands.

"The jump ball from both sides was won by Olowokandi. The Timberwolves have the priority to attack in the first and fourth quarters."

Kassel dribbled the ball with his right hand, facing Gao Fei's defense, he did not dare to go up to fight easily.

Most outside players in the league know what level Anthony's strength is at. Gao Fei can be evenly matched with Anthony, and they basically have a measure in their hearts.

Cassel tried his best to avoid physical confrontation and quickly distributed the ball to his backcourt partner Sprewell.

Garnett moved faster than Odom, and mentioned the top of the arc to block the defensive Kobe.

Sprewell arranged according to the tactics, seized the opportunity of misplacement, and made an open jumper!
Swish!
Lakers 0-2 Timberwolves!
Because Goofy is in the limelight, every team will try their best to play against the Lakers.As local players, they all want to teach the newly joined rookies a lesson.

Sprewell ran back to the backcourt, babbling at Goofy with the ball.

Goofy didn't reply.After the lessons of the last game, he understood a truth-performance is the most powerful response from a player.

Cassel was very interested, and wanted to see how capable Gao Fei was.

Goofy thought about the current situation of the Lakers after losing to the Nuggets.Due to the insufficient depth of the bench, the team is very dependent on the starting lineup, and the corresponding transition will always be chased or opened by the opponent.

It is for this reason that the previous games were played very anxiously.

Gao Fei decided to delegate power and let Odom handle the ball as the pivot.He and Kobe are running off the ball at the same time.

Kobe is responsible for low post singles; Gao Fei is responsible for peripheral pull.

Odom had the ball in his hand and was more adaptable than in previous games. Seeing Gao Fei running out of space, he immediately passed back.

Kobe had never seen Gao Fei play off the ball, but he knew that Gao Fei was a master off the ball when he saw the running route.

Goofy catches the ball and adjusts, leans back and jumps, and shoots in style!

Cassel ran over, stretched out his right hand, and touched Goofy's knee.

"This situation is really like Michael Jordan's shooting against the defense. The defensive player can't even interfere, let alone block the shot." Kenny Smith sincerely admired it.

Barkley said: "High physical condition can be elected as the No. [-] pick, but there is no way, people are unwilling to understand the defenders from the East. Even if they have dominated the previous professional league."

"Charles, didn't you say before that Gao couldn't play in the NBA? I remember saying that there are too many good guards in the United States."

Barkley laughed loudly: "That's all in the past. Now I support Gao Fei unconditionally."

Phil Jackson felt that Gao Fei was a person with a strong desire to control, but he did not expect him to take the initiative to delegate power.For the first time, I realized that Gao Fei has the consciousness to win at all costs.

The important thing on the basketball court is not the cool performance, nor the gorgeous statistics, but the victory that can be celebrated wantonly.

Goofy focused on defense, pinching Cassell and cutting off his passing lane to Garnett.

Garnett is a passionate player, mentioning the top of the arc, trying to block the defensive fly.

Garnett was taken aback when Goofy came up and dribbled past the screen.

The opponent used single-block screens many times to limit Gao Fei's defense.In response to this point, he conducted special drills in training.

Now the pick-and-roll defense has stronger pressure.

Cassel didn't expect Gao Fei to post it suddenly, the moment of collision, the level of strength was clearly displayed.

The mobility of the Lakers is fully displayed in the transition of offense and defense.

Gao Fei and Kobe ran all over the court, outrunning the entire Timberwolves team.

The basketball flew out of Gao Fei's hands and fell into the hands of Kobe who soared into the air.

The hoop tremblingly accepts the roughly thrown basketball!
4-2!

"After the Lakers' double star lost, it seems that they all want to vent their anger." Kenny Smith said.

Barkley said: "If you have been a player, you should know that there are two worlds on the court and off the court. Smart people like Goofy and Kobe will separate the game from life. They are pure and powerful."

"It means to be good at playing!" Kenny Smith summed up succinctly.

Goofy and Kobe's crazy bite on the defensive end, the visual effect is not weaker than the offensive end.

Facing high-intensity defense, Kassel and Sprewell struggled, and most of the glory at the beginning was lost.

Garnett ran to the top of the arc, received the pass, and distributed it to Ndi Ibi on the right.

Luke Walton was infected by the defensive attitude of the backcourt combination and fought with all his strength, leaving no room for Ndi Ibi to play.

Garnett took a position in the penalty area, received the pass, turned around and passed Odom, held high and hit, and dunked with one hand!

The roar gushed out from Garnett's chest, leading tens of thousands of fans at the scene to maximize the effect of the goal.

Goofy is not the dynamic player Garnett is.He will use the world's best dunks to boost morale, rather than Garnett's emotional guidance.

Every player has its uniqueness.

Goofy, one of the best dribblers in the league, dribbled the ball upfield and passed it to Odom again.

Olowokandi did not notice the opponent behind him.

Odom immediately passed the ball to Kwame Brown under the basket.

When everyone thought that Kwame Brown would score easily, a big hand hit the basketball out of the baseline.

Garnett thumped his chest with his right fist, murmured, and bowed his head in celebration.

Watching him play, I always feel that basketball should be full of passion.

Gao Fei received the ball in the frontcourt, hit the ground with his right hand, and handed it to Kobe on the right.

Garnett always pays attention to the old man, and the defense is in place.

Kobe glanced out of the corner of his eye, and Gao Fei had already run out of the open space.

The basketball flies across the court and back into Goofy's hands.

Sprewell and Cassell ran towards Gao Fei at the same time, and they had no time to take off, so they could only look up at Gao Fei who threw the ball gracefully.

The basketball spins and hits the net with precision!
"Timberwolves players must understand a truth, you can't let Gao Fei take off, otherwise the defense will not be established at all." Barkley once faced Jordan in the finals, and knew that Gao Fei, a talented player, could not defend and had to use physical confrontation.No intensity, no limit of opportunity.

Kenny Smith didn't pay attention to this, and asked, "Charles, did you notice it before?"

"Notice what?" Barkley was confused.

"His ability off the ball!" Kenny Smith felt that this was an obvious problem.

"Wow! The few attacks just now were all without the ball!" Barkley suddenly realized that he couldn't see through this new great defender.
