NBA big yellow bird

Chapter 136 The Difficult Timberwolves
However, the boos at the scene even more stimulated this active "wolf"!
He teased the Celtics fans with more excited cheers.

Just keep calling!
The louder I shout, the more excited I will be!

This pissed off the Boston fans. When Zhu Wan came on the field, several fans on the sidelines couldn't help but yelled one after another:

"Hey, Zhu Wan, show some color to that guy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

"We must win this game, Zhu Wan, that guy is really too arrogant!"

"Juwan, give Kevin Garnett a hard ass kick!"

Juwan answered their shouts with a smile.

At this time, the big screen at the scene gave Zhu Wan a close-up shot.

The cheers of the audience also reached a new height at this time.

The Timberwolves sitting on the bench, listening to the cheers of the audience, looked at each other, and they all saw evil intentions in each other's eyes.

Well, how should I put it...the NBA does not allow such a rookie to exist!

These "old fritters" of the Timberwolves are not allowed!
The game will officially start soon.

Kevin Garnett successfully grabbed the initiative for the Timberwolves.

When Cassel dribbled past halftime, he dribbled slowly like an old man in the park, but when he was approaching Atkins, his dribbling speed suddenly increased.

Wade subconsciously wanted to defend Atkins, but Cassel, who was holding the ball, waved his hand at this time and gave the ball to Sprewell who was outside the three-point line on the right.

"Madman" raised his hand and voted.

As the second position, he has no obvious shortcomings in technology.

Including three-pointers.

Just not that proficient.

"Dangdang!"

The ball pops out of the hoop.

Tyson Chandler stuck the "sugar man" behind him, and Rasheed Wallace faced Kevin Garnett and quickly occupied the best rebounding position, but Kevin Garnett, who circled far, still got the ball with his long arms.

Then he dribbled by himself, a smooth right turn jumper, and hit the ball steadily.

This physical coordination is not something a 2-meter-tall insider can have!

Just look at Rasheed Wallace in front of him. He is also known for his mobility, but he didn't react when Kevin Garnett turned around and shot.

In addition, Zhu Wan also discovered one thing...Kevin Garnett's height of 2 meters is watery. According to Zhu Wan's estimation, this guy is at least 11 meters!

After all, he is a guy who likes to shrink his shoulders when measuring his height.

Wallace shook his head helplessly.

Kevin Garnett's mobility on the ball is too abnormal. Although his eyes can keep up, his body really can't keep up.

The Timberwolves just came out on top at home to the Boston Celtics.

Offensive and defensive conversion.

The Timberwolves didn't return to the defense quickly. Judging from their appearance, they wanted to give the Boston Celtics a bad start from the beginning. They adopted a "man-to-man" defensive tactic.

The high-intensity close defense prevented Atkins from finding a chance to catch the ball.

"Madman" is also a variety of personal defense against Wade, making it difficult for him to catch the ball from a long distance.

He can only approach quickly, and the first time he gets the ball, he rushes to the frontcourt with explosive power.

This catch and that catch is called a difficulty.

When he gained a firm foothold, the Timberwolves, who were still "man-to-man", now formed a defensive formation.

The league's first tactical literacy can be seen!
Wade faced the "madman" and tried to play singles with the ball.

Sprewell confronted him unrelentingly, and told him the story of "Michael Jordan's first team in the NBA that season after he retired for the first time"!

It's just that Wade's sudden and large "European step" made him lose his target in an instant. When he came back to his senses, he turned his head and saw only Wade's back.

Faced with the trash talk of the "madman", Wade, who didn't say a word, proved with practical actions what is meant by "the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead"!
But Wade, who successfully got rid of Sprewell, did not enter the inside smoothly, but was intercepted by Kevin Garnett at the first time. "Wolf King" once again showed his excellent mobility!
Coupled with the rapid approach of "Madman" from behind.

Wade was about to be double-teamed.

Fortunately, Rasheed Wallace took the initiative to step forward and made a false screen to help Wade attract Kevin Garnett's attention. After getting rid of it laterally, Wade hit the ball into Rasheed Wallace's hands.

"Roaring Tianzun" took the ball without looking at the basket, and gave the ball to Zhu Wan on the outside.

Szczerbiak spread his arms and pressed forward.

Zhu Wan dribbled the ball and threw it quickly.

But it's not a shot, but a lob towards the inside.

Kevin Garnett made up the defense in time, leaving only Tyson Chandler under the basket.

The "King of Boxing" caught the ball firmly and completed a "two-handed dunk" from the other side.

The Calverts responded with a beautiful slam dunk.

2-2 draw.

"The Celtics now have significantly more options on the offensive end, which allows them to play every round more patiently!"

Although Chris Anderson was only replaced by Rasheed Wallace, this guy who can attack on his own and can support the whole court brought the Celtics not just a little bonus, but a huge compensation. This is reflected in the defensive end, as well as in the offensive end.

For example, in the round just now, the large-scale transfer of the ball to Juwan immediately opened up the Celtics' offensive formation.

The Timberwolves have already defended like that, but they still can't stop their team from scoring!
"It's okay, it's okay, fight our offense well, fight our offense well!"

"Get off the horse" did not succeed, but let the Celtics show their full tacit understanding. Timberwolves head coach Saunders couldn't help clapping and shouting on the sidelines to stabilize the "wolves" mentality on the field.

I have to say that this Timberwolves really has a lot of "offensive points". In the last round, "Madman" and "Wolf King" made separate shots.

5-2!

Zhu Wan himself is not very good at defending this kind of guy who relies on running off the ball to cover his teammates, because his explosive power is not enough.

Especially in this game, Wade has to help Atkins make up the defense, and he has to help Wade make up the defense, making it even more difficult to defend Szczerbiak.

Of course, the main reason is that the passer is the "alien" Kassel.

The 34-year-old Cassell is getting older and more demonic, and he has a very accurate grasp of the timing of whether he should make a shot himself or pass the ball to his teammates.

In addition, he looks like the old man, but his skillful ball handling skills and decisive determination make him look very tricky!
In comparison with him, Atkins, who was already weak, had various problems in this game.

The last round of the Celtics was because he caused a tear in the defensive formation, giving Szczerbiak a chance to make a shot; this round, the Timberwolves boldly let him go. As a result, he really did not disappoint the Timberwolves. He really dared not go in if he let him go!

With such a wide open space, Juwan can shoot with his eyes closed, to be honest.

In the confrontation with a top team like the Timberwolves, Atkins, a guy who is usually weak, was even more exposed.

In the first quarter, the Timberwolves got an 8-point lead by targeting Atkins.

At the end of the second quarter, this leading point difference reached double digits.

Zhu Wan performed well, scoring 14 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. If he maintains this performance, his performance tonight will be much better than most of his previous performances.

So even if the Celtics fall behind, you can't place the blame on him.

When Kevin Garnett left the court, he held his head up and faced the Celtics fans in the sidelines.

Looking at the first half alone, he fulfilled what he said, Juwan's performance did not have any substantial impact on the game... Should the Timberwolves win a double-digit advantage, or win a double-digit advantage.

No. [-] in the league deserves to be No. [-] in the league...

This is the biggest feeling of all members of the Celtics team so far in this game.

It's really hard to beat!

He will not give too many opportunities, but will take advantage of all the opportunities given by the Celtics.

Among the double-digit scores that the Celtics trailed in the first half, at least eight or nine points were all opportunities for them to send out.

However, as a young team, it is difficult for you to ask them not to give any chance at all.

On the contrary, facing the Timberwolves, the league's No. [-] team, just let the opponent seize the opportunity to counterattack successfully for four or five rounds, which is actually within an acceptable range.

The main reason is that Kevin Garnett played too comfortably.

The characteristics of Rasheed Wallace's "all-round fighter" are destined to be able to do everything, but not to the extreme.

And when Kevin Garnett doesn't have to face that kind of offensive player, he can play his normal rhythm on both ends of the offense and defense...

It is true that Rasheed Wallace is an "all-round fighter", but it is true that the "all-round fighter" at the fourth position, even if Rasheed Wallace is in front of Kevin Garnett, is much worse.

After all, the current Timberwolves can play the league's first offensive and defensive system, which is completely built with Kevin Garnett as the core.

This is why the original Kevin Garnett was able to beat Tim Duncan and others this season and become the regular season MVP!
Therefore, in order to catch up with the score difference, the Celtics still have to start with how to limit Kevin Garnett...

O'Brien discussed with the teaching assistant team for a long time, but they didn't come up with a good solution.

Finally, he turned his attention to Zhu Wan...

O'Brien's final move: Hand the ball to Juwan!

Well, probably all the head coaches in this league are self-taught about this trick!

Fortunately, Zhu Wan is also ready to stand up for the next game in this game!
He also heard Kevin Garnett's bold words before the game. This is a ready-made opportunity to fill the cup, and he can't miss it.

Although he is not sure whether he can lead the team to reverse the Timberwolves...

After the first half, he had a deeper understanding of the strength of the Timberwolves. He deserves to be the current No. [-] player in the league, and he is really difficult to deal with!
