At this time, the Timberwolves were on offense and head coach Flip Saunders called a timeout.
Kenny Smith said: "Just now, the Timberwolves double-teamed Old K in advance, but they did not restrict Nash's passing at the first position. If they continue to double-team in advance, it is likely that the Suns will get many open opportunities."
Barkley said with a smile: "Stoudemire had a mid-range shot opportunity just now, and he also has mid-range shooting skills. However, in the previous games, when facing defenders, his mid-range shooting percentage was average, and his mid-range shooting rate was very low.
If I take fewer shots, I can achieve a 37.5% shooting rate in the past two points."
Kenny Smith analyzed: "According to his shots, 56% of the shots were at the basket, 32% of the shots were close to two points, a total of 88% of the shots were in the paint area, and only 12% of the shots were in the mid-range. So just now he
I wanted to attack the basket, but Garnett moved too fast."
Barkley nodded and said: "I'm afraid this is also the reason why the Timberwolves have the courage to double-team K in advance. Stoudemire's mid-range shot is not fatal, especially since Garnett moves very fast. If he chooses to shoot nearly two points, like just now
If he is guarded by Garnett, if he hits two points or two points from far away, and there is a backup defense from the outside, the threat will not be very high."
At this time, on the bench of the Timberwolves, Sanders was arranging tactics, rearranging offensive and defensive tactics, but all failed. Time was a little tight, so he spoke very quickly.
"In the positional battle, we still double-teamed K. Kevin in advance. The reason for double-teaming K. in advance is because we have your help in defense. Don't let us down. You are the protagonist today, you have to show your performance."
"Others must strengthen their defense of the open space, and they must be fast and not let the opponent get a big open space. In this way, our early double-teaming tactic will definitely succeed."
"During the transition between offense and defense, the Suns' fast break is very powerful. Our defense must be quick and timely. If they score, we must launch a counterattack. Although the pursuit ball just now was intercepted by Old K, this kind of
My consciousness is good, the interruption was just an accident, just be careful and it will be fine."
"In positional battles, we need to strengthen the use of pick-and-roll tactics. Kevin, use your skills. You have to hit the basket of old K and knock off his arrogance."
Garnett was sweating on his forehead and kept drinking water. He was not thirsty, but a little nervous, facing the godlike number one man in history, Alexander.
After hastily arranging tactics, the timeout is up, the players come back on the field, and the Timberwolves attack.
Garnett first moved to the low post, then suddenly pulled up, directly to the three-point line, setting a pick-and-roll for small forward Wally Szczerbiak, who was holding the ball.
Szczerbiak took the opportunity to get rid of Marion and break through with the ball, but at this time Lao Wang quickly defended and changed and kept up with the former.
Although Wally Szczerbiak is a small forward, his speed is average, especially his ability to break through with the ball. Therefore, he is generally responsible for the task of being a shooter and rarely breaks through with the ball.
And Old K, now has the speed of a serious small forward. During this change of defense, his speed was even faster than Wally Szczerbiak's breakthrough with the ball. He intercepted the ball first and forced the opponent to stop.
On the left line of the paint area.
But at this time, Garnett came down the line, passed by Wally Szczerbiak, took the ball from the latter, and strode toward the basket.
Lao Wang, who was under Wally Szczerbiak, quickly half-turned, took two quick steps towards the basket, and took a half-shot to return to the basket.
"Button you!"
Garnett was furious, and with his powerful explosive power, he jumped directly towards Lao Wang under the basket. He blocked and blocked with his left hand, and dunked with the ball in his right hand.
"call!"
The next moment, Lao Wang surged with all his strength, raising his hands high, completely blocking the space in front of the basket.
Although his jumping is not as good as Garnett's. Although his vertical jump is as high as 80 centimeters, Garnett is jumping in a sprint. He may not have jumped 100 centimeters, which indeed formed a dive for him, but he grasped the timing of his jump very well.
, took off in an instant, and when he reached the top, Garnett had already dived down from the top, and his defensive height was just high enough.
"Crack!"
A pair of giant palms accurately pressed on the basketball, stopping everything.
"Bang!"
Garnett bumped into Pharaoh, and they both fell to the ground. Pharaoh took two steps back and stood still. Garnett also used the reaction force to stand firm, and staggered two steps to stand.
"Beep!"
The referee's whistle sounded and he pointed at Garnett and made a walking gesture.
"boom!"
The cheers from the American West Arena erupted at this moment, and countless Suns fans began to cheer for Lao Wang's block.
"Husky boy, if you want to dunk on me, you are still a little immature." Lao Wang shouted excitedly at Garnett.
"Old K, I will fight with you!"
Garnett's blood was boiling and his temper was rising. After throwing the ball to the referee, he retreated and shouted back: "Today you have the guts to score 100 points on my head. Come on! You can score 100 points on my head."
I will obey you if I score 100 points, otherwise you will shut up!"
Lao Wang is speechless, 100 points? Your bottom line is really high! By the way, don’t you want to fight me? Why are you running?
He immediately chased after him. Garnett, who was retreating, thought he was going to cause trouble for him, so he immediately turned around and ran away. The two of them chased each other one after another.
During this run, the speed of the two was compared. From the baseline to the opposite baseline, Lao Wang caught up from three steps to only one step away. If the court was bigger, he would be able to catch up. He is obviously faster than Garnett.
quick.
"Why are you running?"
Lao Wang glared at Garnett.
"Would you run away if you didn't chase me?" Garnett spat back.
"I just realized today that huskies are brainless."
Lao Wang cursed and went straight to the basket. Nash's ball had already come in.
"not good!"
Garnett, who originally avoided Lao Wang, rushed over in a hurry, but it was already too late.
"Bang!"
Lao Wang took off, caught the ball in the air, dunked, and once again completed an alley-oop dunk with Nash, which received cheers from the audience.
"Do you know now that you have no brain? King of Huskies, your brain capacity is smaller than that of the golden python. Do you have the memory of seven seconds ago?" Lao Wang spat.
Garnett was shaking with anger. Damn it, old K. Are you going to a school that specializes in trash talking?
"Kevin, what are you doing?"
Coach Sanders was going crazy and yelled at Garnett.
Barkley collapsed on the commentary table with laughter, laughing weakly intermittently: "Obviously, obviously the Timberwolves are the defensive side, but why is Garnett trying so hard to get rid of Old K?
Haha, the Suns are obviously the offensive team, but why, why is Old K trying to chase Garnett with all his strength? Haha, this is really interesting!"
"Maybe they are playing a game?" Kenny Smith also had a smile on his face.
0:10, Timberwolves attack.
This time, after Rasu entered the basket, Garnett pulled to the top of the arc to set up a pick-and-roll for point guard Hudson.
After the split, Lao Wang still switched defenses, chased behind Hudson, and used his huge defensive size to block the angle from which Hudson could pass back to Garnett.
Hudson rushed to the basket and pulled it to the left. Using the momentum of turning around, he threw the ball to the floor with his right hand. With a bang, the basketball quickly bounced off the ground and fell into the hands of Garnett who was passing down.
At this moment, Lao Wang urgently turned around under the basket, and Garnett also jumped up. He once again faced the Wolf King's dunk under the basket.
At this moment, the Suns' basket is attracting everyone's attention.
"roll!"
The timing of the jump was still very good. When he was shouting angrily, Wang's huge palms just blocked Garnett's dunk. He even grabbed the ball with both hands and snatched it from Garnett's one hand.
Came over.
"ah!"
One on-site commentator pumped his fist and shouted in excitement, while another commentator had already started shouting: "Perfect frontal block! This is the most perfect shot! The Sun King has transformed into the patron saint of the Suns' basket.
, he made the Suns' paint area a no-fly zone, he blocked Kevin Garnett, the king of the Huskies, for the second time, and he blocked the provocateur!"
"Ha ha……"
When Su Qun heard what the on-site commentator said, he laughed directly and fell on Zhang Lili next to him.
Zhang Lili was also overjoyed and said: "The Suns are trying to cement Garnett's title as the King of the Huskies!"
"Whoosh!"
Lao Wang passed the ball quickly, and Nash received the ball quickly. The Suns once again launched an unstoppable fast break, and finally Hardaway hit a three-pointer.
0:13, Timberwolves attack.
"This is the result of provoking Old K!" Kenny Smith shook his head and sighed.
"Provoking Jordan is like provoking Black Jesus, and provoking Old K is like provoking God. Any provocateur will be punished."
Buckley said seriously.
"Oh my God, do you mean the sky?" Kenny Smith asked doubtfully.
Buckley shook his head and explained: "This is a phrase often used by Lao K. He often says that God is first and I am second, so this God must be very powerful and should be the most powerful god in China."
"Am I a god too?" Kenny Smith asked.
"That's right, probably." Buckley nodded.
The game continued, and Lao Wang continued to stare at Garnett.
He didn't spend all his energy on the offensive end. 20 points per quarter was just a joke. If he could keep Garnett clean today, he would never let the Huskies score a point. This was his real plan.
After swallowing two hot shots, Garnett's confidence in attacking the basket was severely frustrated. He decided to pick up his iron-blooded jump shot again and use this powerful weapon to chop old K to death.
However, Lao Wang's defense has truly reached its peak level. Whether it is body, technology, experience, or willpower, it has all reached its peak level, so in the next time, he can still defend Garnett.
Either he can't catch the ball, or he misses his forced shot.
In the seventh minute of the first quarter, at 6:20, the Suns led by 14 points and the Timberwolves attacked.
"Crack!"
Garnett, who had already made zero out of 7 shots, turned around and made a step-back jumper. Wang predicted in advance and took a step forward in time. He made a bloody block. Before Garnett could take the ball, he hit it with one hand.
Holding the ball, he was directly pushed to the floor with the ball. He himself fell on Garnett, squeezing Garnett so hard that he almost vomited blood.
"boom!"
The cheers from the audience instantly drowned out everything.
"Boy, let me tell you right now, no matter how strong you are, I can do whatever I want to you. I am your God."
Lying on top of Garnett, Lao Wang roared in his ear.
"Go away!"
Garnett was already a little defeated and yelled out of control.
Lao Wang didn't get up immediately. He actually did two push-ups on Garnett's body before Shi Shiran got up.
"Ha ha……"
The entire American West Arena was already bursting into laughter.
Garnett was so embarrassed and angry that this was his warm-up habit. Damn it, Old K did this to him. It was so indecent. Do you want to be my mortal enemy? In a few years, when you get old,
, you will definitely grow old, and I will definitely repay you when the time comes!
Then Garnett was replaced protectively, and Sanders couldn't stand it anymore. He understood that under Old K's targeting, it would be difficult for Garnett to perform today.
In this game, Garnett only played a total of 22 minutes. Every time he played, he was targeted by Lao Wang. He made 0 of 12 shots from the field. Lao Wang not only guarded Garnett to death, but also blocked Garnett 5 times.
, and did not allow the opponent to get a free throw opportunity and kept the opponent clean.
Of course, we didn’t achieve all clean sheets, we just kept clean sheets in addition to scoring.
Garnett's statistics are 0 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, 4 turnovers and 3 fouls. His performance on both offense and defense can be described as a collapse.
With his strength, even if Lao Wang defends with all his strength, it is actually impossible to be defended to this extent. A blind cat can hit a dead mouse, and he can throw one or two in with his eyes closed. His mentality is really ruined today.
It affected the state, and Lao Wang's state on the defensive end was explosive again today, so this result was achieved.
Lao Wang himself didn't take many shots, but his statistics were still very good. In 31 minutes of playing time, he scored 31 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 8 blocks, 2 steals, 2 turnovers and 1 foul.
At the end of the game, Barkley said with a smile: "The provocateur, Garnett, the king of the Huskies, has been punished by Old K. So how will the other provocateur, Shark O'Neal, be punished by Old K? Let us look forward to the third match between the Suns and the Lakers.
A regular season game.
That game will be played on January 4, 2003. The Suns will first face the Lakers at home, and then the two teams will return to the Lakers' home court of Los Angeles for the second game of a back-to-back game."
"Do you think I'm that clown from Garnett? I'll eat old K alive under the basket! Now his tonnage is nothing in front of me. I'm going to break his muscles and bones."
Los Angeles, O'Neal roared in his mansion.
With 8 wins and 3 losses, the Suns defeated the visiting Bucks again on the 25th, achieving a record of 9 wins and 3 losses.
At three o'clock in the afternoon on the 26th, Dayao led the Nets, which has the best record in the Eastern Conference, to visit Phoenix."
"Brother Tiejun, sister-in-law."
Lao Wang asked Dayao to have dinner at home. When it was dinner time after five o'clock, Dayao came with a specially prepared model toy.
"Dayao, you came just in time, we will eat soon." Fei Ge greeted with a smile.
"Zhou Zhou, call me uncle." Lao Wang shouted.
"Hello, uncle."
Zhou Zhou raised his little neck and looked at Dayao. He didn't control his center of gravity well. He swayed back and forth and sat down on the floor.
"Ha ha……"
Lao Wang laughed on the spot.
Dayao went over to help Zhou Zhou, but the little girl refused, so she got up, ran to Lao Wang's leg, patted her, and shouted dissatisfied: "Dad, don't laugh at Zhou Zhou."
"Okay, if dad doesn't laugh at you, you go wash your hands first and it's time to eat."
Lao Wang agreed with a smile and asked the nanny to take Zhou Zhou to wash his hands. He took Dayao to the restaurant.
"Dayao, sit down, do you want to have a drink?" Fei Ge greeted.
Lao Wang made the decision: "Open a bottle of red wine and drink less."
"OK."
Nodding, Dayao smiled and said: "Recently, I really want to buy a vineyard and make my own red wine."
"Okay, our trading company imports a lot of red wine from the United States to China every year, so we don't have to worry about sales." Fei Ge said with a smile.
Then Zhou Zhou came and the four of them started eating.
"Dayao, you should be fine in the finals this year, right?" Lao Wang asked.
"The Eastern Conference is relatively weak now. The only strong opponent is the Pistons. I have no problem playing Ben Wallace, but it just lacks a better power forward. Van Horn went to Philadelphia. Our strength this season is actually a bit worse, but in general
There should be no problem in the finals," Dayao said.
"Yes, it is already very good to be able to reach the finals for two consecutive years. Some superstars will never be able to touch the floor of the finals in their lives, which ruins their careers." Lao Wang said approvingly.
"Ah owe!"
At this moment, many of the superstars that Lao Wang mentioned sneezed, such as The Postman, John Stockton, Payton, Ewing, David Robinson, Mutombo, etc.
Dayao chuckled and said: "Brother, you have blocked the way of many superstars in the West for so many years!"
Lao Wang laughed and said: "So my comeback this time is actually not popular, from top to bottom, haha!"
"Can you meet up for the finals?" Fei Ge asked.
Dayao looked at Lao Wang, who shook his head and said: "The west is much more intense than the east. It's hard to say."
"Isn't the Suns performing well now?" Feige asked.
Lao Wang said: "Not counting the Mavericks, the Lakers, Trail Blazers, and Kings, any one of these three teams is stronger than us right now.
The Suns need to build a tactical system, and these three teams are relatively mature teams, especially the Kings and Trail Blazers. The lineups have been very stable in the past few seasons. As for the Lakers, this is also the second season of the OK combination, which is better than ours.
Be good.
However, we don’t underestimate ourselves, from the main lineup to the substitute lineup, we have good tactics and can kill anyone we encounter in one wave.”
Having said this, he stared at Dayao and said: "Dayao, including you."
Dayao chuckled and said: "Brother, don't scare me! I still hope to win the championship over you!"
"What a beautiful idea you have! You still want to win the championship over me. If I hadn't been injured, Jordan and O'Neal might not have been able to beat me when they teamed up in 2001. Boy, it's probably your fate to be without a championship for the rest of your life." Lao Wang didn't.
Good-naturedly.
"Then it's too miserable for me, isn't it? Brother, raise your hand and let me get one? How about you retire again?" Dayao's face couldn't help but collapse.
"Come on, you're welcome, eat. If you don't win the championship, you'll have enough food." Lao Wang said haha and asked Dayao to eat.
After dinner, Lao Wang and Dayao chatted for more than an hour before driving Dayao back to the hotel.
When I got home, my wife and daughter were talking to my son on the phone. He went over to sit aside and asked loudly: "Dabao, how are your grades?"
"Double one hundred points." Dabao said proudly on the other end.
"Really? You didn't add a zero at the end, right?" Lao Wang said suspiciously.
"Poof!"
Second Sister Lao Wang's laughter sounded on the other end of the phone.
Lao Wang said awkwardly: "The second sister is here too? The second sister's nephew will be born in early March. I have prepared all the gifts. That and this..."
"Old man, stop this and that, don't worry, I won't talk about it, haha!" Erya said with a smile on the other end.
"Oh, let's talk, I have something to do."
In Fei Ge's strange and doubtful eyes, Lao Wang hesitated twice before standing up and walking away.
When he was in elementary school, he was in the same class as his eldest sister and his second sister. There was a math test in the third grade, and the two sisters tied for first place with double 100 points. He actually fell asleep during the test, and he only scored 10 points, ranking last, and then
I added a zero at the end and made up a hundred points. Wang Aiguo and Liu Damei were so happy that they ran to the school to thank the teacher. Da Ya and Ya two didn't stop them, but they were devastated. They were beaten in a mixed doubles match.
