NBA bad guys

Throughout the first half of the game, as a team with two All-Stars and a playoff team, it did not gain the slightest advantage. Instead, it was suppressed by a young guard.

Especially on the offensive end, Wu Liang can still make breakthroughs in mid-range shooting, almost getting everything he wants.

Patrick Ewing didn't dare to rush out to make up defense. Once he made up the defense, even if Wu Liang couldn't score the ball, the offensive rebound would be collected by Kevin Garnett.

After all, there are not many people under the basket who can compete with Kevin Garnett, who has long arms and can grab rebounds.

Even if Kevin Garnett sometimes fails to collect offensive rebounds, Ben Wallace will use his mobility to fight for rebounds.

In terms of rebounding, the Minnesota Timberwolves have a huge advantage.

This is something that the New York Knicks, who own Patrick Ewing, never expected.

It was simply too scary.

Although the New York Knicks, after a few minutes of adjustment, were able to perform well, such as Alan Houston's mid-range shooting and Patrick Ewing's strong play, there are certain shortcomings after all. A goal is possible.

But all the rebounds were taken away by Ben Wallace.

They had no chance of grabbing offensive rebounds, which was unexpected by everyone.

Even the head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Bill Carlisle, did not expect that the new star twin towers he sent on the field would be so useful in the paint.

This is simply awesome.

Yadi, who was sitting in the audience, looked livid at the scene in front of her. She clenched her fists hard, wondering what the New York Knicks were doing and what was going on.

Patrick Ewing, have you not eaten? Playing against a little center who is just over two meters tall and who doesn't even have a name, you might not be able to score?

Also, Alan Houston, what did you do last night? Wu Liang, can't you guard against it?

You guys must be match-fixing, right?

Yadi was simply furious.

Halftime score.

The Minnesota Timberwolves temporarily lead by 43 points at 35:8. In this era, an 8-point lead is already a lot.

Wu Liang alone contributed 12 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 assist.

Kevin Garnett contributed 9 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists.

Ben Wallace contributed 2 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.

In terms of scoring, it can be said that Ben Wallace did not do well, or even very poorly, but as long as anyone watching the game live and knowing a little bit about football, they can see the role of Ben Wallace. , which can never be reflected using data.

His defense was very good and restricted Patrick Ewing very uncomfortable.

As a big center, Patrick Ewing has a shooting percentage of more than 50% all year round, but today under Ben Wallace's special guarding, he only shot 40%.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Kevin Garnett's assisting defense.

But no one can deny that Ben Wallace definitely made a great contribution in today's battle.

However, the game is not over yet, and it is too early to draw a conclusion. Before the last moment, anyone may come back and win the final victory.

The atmosphere in the Minnesota Timberwolves' locker room seemed very strange.

As a lower-tier team, they should have been very happy when they were in the lead halfway through the game, but now they couldn't be happy at all.

Especially those veterans who looked down upon Wu Liang and Ben Wallace before.

They felt that it was impossible for these two people to make a difference in the NBA, but judging from the first half of the game, Wu Liang almost dominated both ends of the court by himself, even the opponent's most accurate shot, Alan Houston. , also fell into his own deadlock at this moment.

The role of Ben Wallace is also beyond doubt.

They are all players and don't like to speak only with data, so they know the role of a player, so they know that Ben Wallace is really strong.

Ridiculously powerful.

At least any one of them would not be able to restrict Patrick Ewing so much.

Moreover, looking at the data now, Ben Wallace has grabbed 10 rebounds.

This data is quite explosive.

Ben Wallace is not like Kevin Garnett, who will arouse enthusiastic cheers from the fans every time he grabs an offensive rebound, but he is able to grab backcourt rebounds and protect the backcourt rebounds to the extreme.

The data of 9 rebounds is enough to explain everything.

And this is only half the game. If the whole game lasts, I don’t know how much more we can grab.

so amazing.

Bill Carlisle clapped his hands vigorously and shouted loudly: "You old guys on the team, do you still want to play hard? Have you seen how outstanding our young people are? Now, don't you still want to play hard?" Don’t believe it, can we make it to the playoffs?

Open your big eyes and take a closer look. If you don't realize by now that our Minnesota has become different, then all your efforts over the years have been in vain. "

Sam Mitchell and James Robinson looked at each other, and they seemed to see a deep shock in each other's eyes.

They seem to feel that what the coach said today seems to be very reasonable. It seems that under the leadership of these young people, the Minnesota Timberwolves are really on the right track.

However, it is only half the game now, and there is still a long way to go.

Will the Minnesota Timberwolves really become a dark horse and move forward?

Wu Liang stood up at this time and said in a deep voice: "No matter what we do, we must work hard. Only by doing it will we know whether we can succeed. If we do nothing and just give up, That’s not a sign of intelligence, that’s a sign of cowardice.”

Bill Carlisle continued: "Even a few children understand the truth, do you still need me to teach you?"

Sam Mitchell's eyes showed some struggle and he said: "I will play hard."

James Robinson said: "So will I."

So, these two main tasks have been solved, only the last person is left.

It is also the most difficult problem to solve. At this time, everyone unanimously turned their eyes to this man, this man who should be the team's starting center.

Tom Gugliotta,

This big center can average nearly 20 points per game.

I wonder what choice he will make.
