204. Roar when you see injustice on the road...
"Wolf's blood is boiling: exclusive to Wolf King Kevin Garnett, totem team gain, invincible and self-difference, so that teammates and opponents can conduct any basketball-related training with it, and the fighting spirit will be high in the game. Negative effect: Those with weak will are confident
The heart will suffer a huge blow, regardless of whether it is friend or foe."
Seeing this team buff, Liu Mang held a moment of silence for some of Garnett's teammates. Kobe was just ruthless and unreasonable, and Joe just loved to scold the No. 1 pick. This Garnett... he was always quarreling with whoever he saw! Still the kind of person who doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.
No wonder the future Eyebrowless Heroes and Fatty Davis were both forced to file a complaint with the alliance and were made to cry during every training session.
Looking at the current lineup of the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves are not bad! However, the management estimates that the problem is huge. At that time, Marbury was not given the maximum salary, and they wanted to get Joe Smith with nothing. In the end, Marbury left, and Joe-
Smith was like that. Later, the maximum salary was given to Trill Brandon, who was traded back with Marbury. Although Trill Brandon had better assists than Marbury, he no longer had a scorer.
Garnett... is another opponent who avoids strangers, similar to Pierce. No wonder he wanted to shoot. Liu Mang didn't go to say hello to him, and the fight was in vain. Moreover, Garnett really didn't make him feel anything.
Is there anything worth studying? In the future, Garnett will almost have to study what color underwear he likes to wear.
What Liu Mang cares about is a strange man.
As the third overall pick in the draft in 1997, he changed four teams in the first three years of his career. Last season, he came to the Timberwolves and served as a substitute for Terrell Brandon. Terrell Brandon was very good.
Strong, with more than eight assists all year round, but I still don’t understand what kind of player Billups is.
Perhaps the No. 1 pick in 1997 was so ridiculously strong that the other picks were overshadowed, such as No. 2 pick Keon Van Horn, who averaged 19.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in his rookie year. If the Clippers had selected them in 1998,
Will be crazy.
Billups' rookie year was okay, averaging 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists per game, which was not bad. However, he was traded before his rookie season was over. He went to Toronto and partnered with Tracy McGrady and Carter for a while, and the following year he played
Not long after that, he was traded to the Nuggets. After his third year in Denver, he had just renewed his contract and was traded to the Magic. His whole being was in bad shape.
But when I saw that Tracy McGrady was coming to the Magic, it would be nice to have an acquaintance there, and Grant Hill. I heard that Duncan was coming too, and I almost jumped for joy... Then he was sent to the Timberwolves, without a draw.
The three people I hope have played with each other.
Who would have thought that in the ice and snow of Minneapolis, Billups would usher in spring instead. He played half of last season, Terrell Brandon was injured for the season, and Billups was 30 years after the All-Star Game.
He played in many games and helped Garnett reach the playoffs for the fifth consecutive year. He has firmly established his position. His average of 13 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists per game is not outstanding, but at least he has won the reputation of a parallel importer.
He fell out and became Mr. Good Luck, no longer Mr. Wanderer. He often stood up at critical moments when Garnett couldn't open up.
Was it Billups' life that was filled with so many ups and downs to level up, or was it that the Celtics had such incredible vision at the time that the entire 1990s was so miserable.
Obviously at that time, the Celtics lacked someone who could organize offense and press the formation. They even traded Billups away while they were doing it. When it came to the Nuggets and Raptors, it was actually the same. They were both teams.
There is no point guard in the organization. The organization is full of shooting guards. The small forwards are doing the job, but they still don't want him.
In the end, he was picked up by the Timberwolves.
This can really only be said to be a fateful one.
Liu Mang really wants to interview Billups. He has been traded so many times when he thought he had established a firm foothold. Ask the future FMVP, when does he think he will be traded again?
After thinking about it carefully, Liu Mang felt that he might be beaten, so he gave up this beautiful idea and went to say hello honestly.
"Hello, Chauncey, is it okay to call you this?" Liu Mang came to the Timberwolves' half court and greeted Billups, who was dribbling under his hips to find a sense of the ball.
Probably, it's possible, it's just a possibility, Billups has never had an opponent take the initiative to say hello to him before the game, because his presence has always been very weak, and sometimes his teammates forget about him, and when they see Liu Mang and him
Say hello, he was actually a little flustered!
"Of course...of course, hello, Ace." Billups dribbled the ball away.
"Uh..." Liu Mang shed a drop of cold sweat. How ferocious is he? Moreover, this young Billups is already in fifth grade! Is this still the veteran civilian championship MVP of the Pistons?
There was actually such a side. Just as Liu Mang was about to say something, he was pushed away by a piece of thin black coal that was similar to Muhammad.
"Rookie, go back to your place!" Garnett pushed Liu Mang away.
This damn hard guy! Liu Mang turned around and went back to find the nanny. He must yell at this guy to death today.
Billups is so sad and wants to tell his boss: I'm going to make friends soon, don't be like this...
…
…
"You must yell at him! Otherwise he will yell at you, you know, you must yell! You must yell at him when you grab a rebound and land on the ground, yell at him after dunking, yell at him even if you try to interfere with his shooting, keep yelling at him!" Liu Mang
This idea was constantly instilled in the team’s nanny Muhammad.
"Is this really good?" Muhammad was an honest man and felt that this was a bit bad.
"Nazir, have you ever been yelled at by Garnett?" Liu Mang asked.
"I yelled. Last year, he dunked inside once and kept yelling after it came down."
"That's why you need to strike preemptively. You don't understand preemptive strike? Well, I've translated it into English and you still don't understand. You have to yell at him first, otherwise he will yell at you!" Liu Mang continued to brainwash, "Look.
, he yells every time he dunks. Isn’t this pretending? What does pretending not to understand mean? That’s right! He is bullying others who don’t understand. You have to yell at him first and pretend to be cool before he does.
Only in this way can we win, you know!”
Muhammad was confused by what he said, but he felt that it was really the case!
"Okay! Ace, you're smart, I'll listen to you!" Muhammad couldn't care less and nodded seriously.
Liu Mang's leadership skills are indeed there. This is a very strange thing. Let's face it, he is just a rookie. In the Eagles team where his teammates have a harmonious relationship, he is the one who is most cared for. Many people still treat him as a child.
After all, he is considered a minor at his age in many states in the United States.
But in the game, he has a great say. First of all, he has repeatedly led the team to victory, and his suggestions have been very successful.
Also, his leadership ability plays a certain role.
What is leadership quality? Rivers, for example, talks a lot.
For example, the pressure of Kobe and Jordan.
Garnett's totem-level effect can also be considered leadership qualities.
After being recognized by Larry Brown as the core of the team, Billups' ability to control the field can also be called leadership qualities.
This thing cannot be measured by a standard. Liu Mang is just a popular rookie because of his lack of qualifications and average status in the league. He uses the method of discussion to give suggestions to his teammates and make them follow the arrangements, which can be regarded as a kind of leadership temperament.
Liu Mang brainwashed Muhammad, and it took Muhammad a long time to agree, but Rahim and Ratliff, who had been listening beside him, were thoughtful...
…
At 6:30 p.m., the Hawks' away game against the Timberwolves started.
This is the third time after the Lakers and Spurs that the Hawks have encountered an opponent with a super inside man.
The Pistons are not included for the time being. The two Wallaces and Billups are not combined and cannot be regarded as super insiders. Even if Ben Wallace is so strong, he is limited to the defensive end. Without Billups and Rasheed-
Wallace, the Pistons will always be a bit different.
Ratliff and Muhammad, Raheem is under a lot of pressure!
For the Timberwolves, their two-point guard combination of a point guard with a low shooting percentage on the outside and a point guard who has declined greatly in his return this year after being reimbursed last season is not particularly powerful, but their frontcourt trio is really good.
Strong!
Although Joe Smith is known as the parallel import No. 1 pick, this is a reputation he only gained in recent years. In the first two years, he averaged 18 points per game. He has a strong mid-range shooting, and he competes with Garnett and Szczerbiak.
Forming a super powerful medium and long-range firepower combination.
The pre-match activities are over and the players from both teams take the field.
The Eagles' Dean Grove continues to be absent, Jacqui Vaughn, and the other four players remain unchanged.
The Timberwolves sent out a combination of Terrell Brandon, Chauncey Billups, Szczerbiak, Garnett and Joe Smith.
Garnett and Ratliff stood in the center circle to jump the ball. Although Joe Smith was the center, Garnett was the one to jump the ball and help defend inside.
The miserable Garnett was the one who took care of both offense and defense, and was both the father and the mother of the team. He earned the title of a player who would be used to independently support the team in the future.
The referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the sky. Just as Garnett was about to jump up and win the jump ball with an absolute jumping advantage, a roar came out, which scared Garnett's legs to weak!
Ratliff roared when the ball was about to reach its highest point, jumped up and pushed the ball backwards!
Garnett looked at the referee in confusion, and Jacqui Vaughn, who had just received the ball, was also confused. When did we start using this operation?
The referee was stunned for a moment, as if... there is no rule that you can't yell to be brave when jumping the ball, and pointed at the Timberwolves half court to indicate that the game should continue.
Jacqui Vaughn gave the ball to Jason Terry, who looked like he understood something, and Jason Terry advanced into the frontcourt.
Ever since they discovered that the pick-and-roll is very useful, especially when two scorers averaging 20 per game use the pick-and-roll together, Jason Terry and Raheem have occasionally played the pick-and-roll.
Raheem pulled out to block Billups, who was closely guarding Billups. Jason Terry quickly rushed inside. Szczerbiak had to defend heavy players very well, but he was slow.
His lateral movement is extremely poor and he can't keep up with Jason Terry at all. Garnett inside can only pull out to help defend. However, Garnett's long hands are really scary and he can't pass to the basket with his long arms.
Opportunity!
Just when Garnett came out of the reasonable collision area, Jason Terry passed the ball to Raheem, who was cutting in from the left side of the basket, and Raheem went straight to the basket!
It was too late for Garnett to turn back to defend. Muhammad and Ratliff bullied Joe Smith, who was thin compared to the two of them, and pressed him behind him like a little daughter-in-law. Garnett rushed back and reached out to cover him.
It can only be placed on the shoulders of Rahim, who smashed the ball into the basket with one hand!
At the same time, the referee's whistle blew and Garnett committed a shooting foul!
Just as Garnett asked his teammates to switch defenses quickly, he was fooled again.
Chapter completed!
