Chapter 296 [The attendance rate breaks the record, why not win the game? 】
The Timberwolves currently have a record of 16 wins and 14 losses, and they have just been surpassed by the Suns, which have 17 wins and 13 losses.
The two teams have similar results, and the game is full of gimmicks. A total of 20,415 fans flocked to the Target Center Arena, setting a historical record of the number of seats at home.
Kevin Garnett is not the Brooklyn Wolves who keep the Hulk's blood. His loyalty has moved countless people. He is extremely popular and is currently ranked third in the Western Conference forward voting, second only to Duncan and Nowitzki, and is likely to become the starter.
Another All-Star player of the Timberwolves, Wally Szebiak, the team's appearance, unfortunately missed due to a foot injury.
Well, this game has a record-breaking attendance. Many fans are coming for the Suns. They hope that both sides can attack fiercely in this game and perform several free-dunks.
In the outside competition, the Timberwolves was a bit miserable. Trier Brandon chose to retire in summer. His contract will not expire until 2004. This season, the Timberwolves will have to pay him an annual salary of 10.18 million, and his salary will be recorded in the salary space, which makes it impossible for the Timberwolves to renew his contract with Billups in summer.
Szebiak has not made a rookie period and has an annual salary of only 2.93 million yuan, the Timberwolves' total salary this season is still as high as 59.52 million US dollars.
This season, the Timberwolves' starting point guard is Troy Hudson, who is 185cm tall and weighs 77kg. He is a non-draft NBA. This is his sixth season in the league. He scored peak data with the Magic last season, scoring 11.7 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 22.9 minutes.
This is a sloppy hand, point guard figure, and branch guard soul. When his hands are hot, he looks like an All-Star, and his braided hairstyle like a madman will make the audience excited, and he feels like he is Spreeville, the number one smaller. However, when he feels bad, he will make the opponent excited. With such an undercover agent, why worry about not winning the game?
Hudson is still recognized as a defensive black hole. His physical fitness is very poor, his speed, strength, and bounce are all ordinary, and he mainly relies on shooting. He plays wildly, so he has never practiced defense well when he failed the draft. Today he is going to play against Guo Xu, and the gap is huge.
CCTV5 live broadcast game, commentator Zhang Heli said: "I think Guo Xu is going to explode today. He has been fighting the Timberwolves since he entered the NBA. Now veteran Brandon is gone, and his offense will be easier." (Brandon: I don't have it, I'm still alive.)
Xu Jicheng said: "How to prevent the sun's counterattack is a big problem. Xiao Si and Marion run too fast."
Zhang Heli smiled and said, "I think Garnett can definitely defend one. Xiao Si can't get a high score today. He must defend it. If he explodes again, it will be difficult for Yao Ming to win the best rookie." (Stadamire: Who are you scolding?)
Unfortunately, Zhang Heli's wish is not easy to realize, and Guo Xu is ready to help Xiaosi brush up the data, which is the case in every game.
Xiao Si is not only Guo Xu's teammate, but also the same agent with him. The two will play together for a long time in the future. As long as Xiao Si stays healthy, it will be difficult for the league to find a better inside line than him.
In the 21st century, O'Neal and Nowitzki's scoring ability is stronger than Sir, so it's hard to say for others.
This season, Guo Xu plans to help Xiao Si build confidence as soon as possible and grow up on the offensive end. In the team, he not only practices empty cutting running, but also practices ball-holding breakthroughs and high-level mid-range shooting, and also has to practice 30 three-pointers in the middle every day.
Xiao Si's shooting is now very unstable, but Guo Xu knows that he can practice it. His shooting feel is very soft in his previous life. Once he practices the shooting well, the offensive end will be a super killer.
Fans who watched the game earlier knew that in the 2006-07 season when Yao Ming was in full swing, Stoudemire was selected as the center to the first team of the year, while Yao Ming only played 48 games and ranked second team.
This is Yao Ming's closest season. After losing this opportunity, with the impact of injuries and the rapid growth of "Warcraft" Dwight Howard, Yao Ming will no longer be able to hit this honor.
Although the two have different styles of playing, their career data are similar. In terms of personal abilities, Xiao Si is not inferior to Yao Ming. Guo Xu is very clear that he and Yao Ming will not be able to play so well, because Yao Ming's speed is too slow and he can only sit in the halftime position.
Suns starter: Guo Xu, Joe Johnson, Kirisek, Marion, Stardameier.
Timberwolves starter: Troy Hudson, Kendall Gill, Gary Trent, Garnett, Nestrovic.
The Suns plan to fight for offense and win the victory under the premise of mutual restraint of the lineup, while the Timberwolves are their usual starting lineup.
Garnett jumped and won the game.
The Timberwolves picked-and-roll attack, Hudson got rid of Guo Xu under Garnett's cover, and took a step and blocked the breakthrough route by Joe Johnson. Garnett cut the pass and squeezed away Guo Xu. Xiaos blocked his way.
The Suns arranged joint defense today. In addition to Guo Xu's position being relatively free, the other four people were responsible for regional defense, so that they would not be messy. Xiao Si could also assist in defense and supplementary defense. He would go when the player got nearby.
Garnett leaned against Xiao Si, turned around and took a step back and jumped up, and the shot point was very high. Unfortunately, he met Xiao Si today, and he liked to jump, and jumped very high.
Xiao Si jumped with all his might without hesitation and covered the ball directly. If Garnett made a fake move, the ending would be completely different. Xiao Si was 90% fouled by shaking.
Guo Xu picked up the basketball and turned around and launched a fast attack. He passed the ball through the ground and passed it to the frontcourt from Hudson and Nestrovic. Marion took the lead and threw Nestrovic two meters away, received the ball and jumped up, and dunked the ball with both hands.
2-0, Guo Xu gave his first assist.
The Timberwolves attacked, and they played the pick-and-roll tactic. Garnett made a pass after screening. Nestrovic beat Marion one-on-one and turned around and shot missed near the basket.
This year, Nestrovic has been very active in offense and scored his best career stats of 11 points and 6.5 rebounds, but his efficiency is not high, he is just a blue-collar worker. The best play is because he wants to fight for a big contract after the end of the season in the contract year.
Even ordinary inside players like Nestrovic look down on the Timberwolves and can't wait to finish this season and leave quickly.
Unfortunately, his ability is really limited. He was not sure to fight Marion, who was half a head shorter than him alone, which made the home fans very disappointed. Scar Jr. grabbed the backcourt rebound.
The Timberwolves players returned to defense quickly, Guo Xu controlled the ball and stabilized the rhythm and landed on the position, playing pick-and-roll with Xiao Si in the middle.
The Timberwolves' defensive tactic is to target people, and the person who is to guard Si is Garnett. Guo Xu broke through with the ball from the left, attracting Garnett to switch defense, and brought it to the horn position and passed it to Marion, who was running from the bottom line to the upper line on the left.
At this time, Smith cut into the basket and attracted Nestrovic's attention. Hudson and Garnett doubled Guo Xu together. He swung the ball out of the outside, and a large open space immediately appeared on the court.
This was a very simple close-range pass, Marion made a 70-degree jump shot and made a steadily shot.
5-0, Guo Xu made the second assist.
Hudson showed a bad defensive awareness. After Guo Xu passed the ball, he was closest to Marion, but he had no reaction at all. He could go out to interfere with the shooting when he turned around, and his height was at a disadvantage, so he was better than nothing.
The Suns easily took the lead at the beginning, and the gap between the two teams was too obvious. (https:)
