Chapter 186. 216. The Beginning of the Timberwolves' Collapse

However, Olowokandi's 5-minute real man time is really amazing. At this time, Duncan and Ben Wallace are not good at defending him.

A beautiful dreamy step by Olowokandi sent Okafor flying, allowing Olowokandi to face the basket directly.

No!Okafor groaned in his heart, being teased by this parallel importer again!
The moment Olowokandi dunked the ball towards the basket with both hands, a big white hand appeared behind Olowokandi's head, imprinted on the ball, slapped the ball to the backboard and bounced off!
Ye Han's defense cap!
Through the last loss to the Timberwolves and the observation of Olowokandi this time, Ye Han discovered that Olowokandi is indeed capable, no matter how powerful he can be for a few minutes, in short, he has a strong individual offensive ability.

But his shortcoming is more obvious, that is, he has no vision, and a random supplementary defense should be able to cause a lot of interference.

You can see the position of the Timberwolves when Olowokandi is attacking. Even Garnett is almost standing outside the three-point line. Obviously, he wants to open up the offensive space for Olowokandi as much as possible, so that he can Free from double-teaming.

But at the same time, Olowokandi has a big flaw, that is, his vision is extremely poor, even worse than Curry's. He couldn't even see Ye Han rushing in from behind!
Ye Han slapped the ball onto the backboard and bounced off, Okafor picked it up!
"Yeah! If you can't stop it, you can't stop it! I still have teammates!" Okafor grinned and threw the ball forward.

Gerald Wallace dunks the ball into the basket.

Although Olowokandi is called a parallel importer, he has always been confident in his offense. He thinks it was just an accident.

He was hailed as the successor of Dameng at the beginning, because of his beautiful footsteps, so he has always been very confident, and because he has been playing the ball all the time, and he has won a big contract, so he is more confident.

To be precise, it is blind confidence in oneself.

It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack again. After finding a way to deal with Olowokandi, Okafor was much more relaxed, as long as he tried his best to defend.

Not to mention other abilities, Olowokandi's offensive skills are really beautiful. Unlike Kwame-Brown's pure talent, he was really good in college.

It's just that it hasn't grown.

The Timberwolves continued to open for Olowokandi to play singles. He used flexible steps and then turned around to avoid Okafor for a layup...

Ye Han appeared under the basket the moment he made a shot, and took out the ball that he picked up for a layup!

Another counterattack!Ye Han went on by himself, one-handedly smashing the buckle!
After losing to Timberwolves last time, Ye Han was already ready for the next match against this team.

As expected, it easily strangled the Timberwolves' opening advantage weapon.

Timberwolves’ new coach and their team president, former Celtics star Kevin McHale was a little worried holding a tactical board on the sidelines, but he couldn’t think of any way. Olowokandi gave the Timberwolves an advantage in the opening game But now that Olowokandi is strangled, there is nothing he can do.

McHale was not expected to be a coach. After firing the head coach Philip Saunders who led the team to the Western Conference Finals last season, the team still used the previous style of play.But at that time, if he was in trouble, Sanders, a person with good teaching ability, could find a way to solve it. Now that it is replaced by McHale, he has nothing to do but worry in his head.

If McHale replaced Olowokandi decisively like the last time the Timberwolves and Bobcats played against each other at this time, and started a regular style of play, relying on Garnett and Cassel to organize the offense, the effect may be much better, but McHale's The idea is that Olowokandi's attacking time of 3 minutes in the opening game has not been used up, and the substitution time he thought about before the game has not yet come, so he just does not make substitutions!

The Bobcats seized this opportunity and played a 16-2 start by relying on defensive counterattacks, holding down the Timberwolves and beating them to death.

Finally, Garnett couldn't bear it anymore, and when Cassel was about to give the ball to Olowokandi, who was already 7 in 1, he opened his hand for the ball.

"Sam, give it to me!" Garnett couldn't stand it anymore. Just now Olowokandi was double-teamed by three people and still didn't pass the ball. He was already standing at the free throw line. This guy still made a shot by himself, he couldn't see People can't hear people talking.

Cassell hesitated for a moment, but he didn't care about McHale's thoughts. He had already planned to choose a team with a higher salary after his contract expired this season. Timberwolves, a stingy boss, only gave him a share A three-year mid-level contract, but Cassell was relieved when he remembered that the contract they gave to the madman Slapwell was only three years and 100 million.

At the beginning of the season, when the management was unwilling to maintain the lineup that made it to the Western Conference Finals last season in order to save money, Kassel had already seen the idea of ​​​​the team owner. They only wanted to make money and wanted to rely on Garnett. Popular superstars make money, and champions don't care at all.

So Cassell decided, let's leave. You can't get too much money here, and you can't compete for the championship. What are you doing with it, for the so-called championship dream?It's not that he has never won a championship. When he was a rookie, he relied on his own ability to help Olajuwon win the championship.

That's the real big dream, not the parallel import champion of this team.

So Cassel took a second to think, and decisively gave the ball to Garnett. He still wants to win, and his professional ethics is there.Obviously, Garnett is better than McHale as a coach. Cassell feels that McHale really doesn't have the ability to be a coach. After Sanders is out of class, the Timberwolves can still be in the ranks of playoff contenders. It has nothing to do with him.

The president spends most of his time on the sidelines in a hurry, and it is thankful that Kassel does not arrange tactics in a critical moment.

Garnett organized the offense at a high position and started to run against us. In addition to the outstanding strength of the three-headed monster, the ability to knead the entire team is also important to play so well last season.

This year, except for the departure of the striker core Slapwell, the group of people are still in the other positions, and they move in accordance with the tactics tacitly. Um, except for the stupid Olowokandi.

Garnett gave Olowokandi a look of disgust. Garnett was notoriously hot-tempered on the court, and he yelled at the parallel importer: "Get out of the way, trash!"

waste? !Olowokandi was angry, and he didn't dare to speak back.But he just didn't listen to Garnett, and continued to sit inside and ask for the ball.

"Don't play tactics? The tactics arranged by the coach are to give me the ball!"

Shanmao looked at the two people who were about to quarrel, and didn't react for a while. What's the situation?
Gerald Wallace tentatively reached out to steal the ball, but he didn't expect to slap it lightly. Garnett, who was in anger, didn't pay attention, and the ball was stolen by him like this!
