Super Lord of the Rings

The Timberwolves have a good start record, but it is difficult to hide the contradictions within the team. The "three-headed monster combination" has not cooperated as well as last season.

Last season, Garnett led the team for the first time in history to break through the first round. Because of the two reinforcements of Kassel and Sprewell, the three-headed monster was established. It is reasonable to say that KG data may decline, but in the end Nate had the best career data in the regular season, averaging 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds, and 5 assists. He shot 49.9% from the field and won MVP.

Garnett played as stable in the playoffs, averaging 24.3 points, 14.6 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

The reason for the conflict is that Kassel and Sprewell are dissatisfied with their annual salary. In the regular season, Kassel entered the best lineup for 2 teams and All-Stars. Sprewell's playoff statistics rose to 19.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4 assists. They all felt confident.

Sprewell wanted to renew the contract for 42 million in three years. The Timberwolves management disagreed and he didn't play well. The data is significantly lower than last season.

After Kassel recovered from injury, his condition could not be compared with last season.

When he first arrived at the Timberwolves, Kassel commented that Garnett said: "It feels great to get along with him." "He is a natural leader."

This season, Kassel no longer garnered Garnett, and did not mention it in an interview.

Garnett also has problems, and his relationship with his new teammates is not good.

He was grumpy, he loved to fight, and he did whatever he could to win. These were tough performances on the court, but off the court and in the locker room it was a bit unreasonable.

The most disgusting thing is that Garnett seems to like to bully the rookie, as if to maintain his position in the team.

As early as Szebiak was a rookie, Garnett told him in the locker room: "Some people don't know who the boss of this team is!" And in a team in 2000 After training, Garnett clashed with Szebiak, and Szebiak had a **** punch.

This year's preseason training camp, Garnett was once again broke the scandal of beating rookie teammates.

Rick Ricott was selected in the second round of last season and was selected this year before entering the Timberwolves training camp this year. In a training class, Licott felt hot. So he asked Garnett to single out to prove himself.

As a result, Ricotte scored again and again, and Garnett's face quickly hung up.

When Ricott scored again in front of Garnett, he said nothing but a punch in the other's jaw. There was no sign of this punch, and Ricott was unprepared. The injury was very serious.

Ricott went to the hospital immediately, with 7 stitches in his chin and several loose teeth.

To this end, Ricott's family was very angry and openly questioned Garnett. Why did he throw a punch at a young man on the same team, Garnett and his agent did not respond.

Afterwards, because it was only a small person who was beaten, things were quickly suppressed. It was actually reported by the media that it was Ricott’s fault, saying that he challenged Garnett after a heads-up goal. It seemed that he was cheaper if he didn’t kill him.

In the end, Ricott failed to stay with the Timberwolves. His psychological trauma may take a long time to heal.

All in all, the Timberwolves Trident has survived.

On the evening of the 18th, the game started on time.

The live broadcast of TNT radio. Buckley laughed: "If Wang Jun can get a high score today, he will prove that he is already the hottest scorer in the league, and Garnett is one of the league's best power forwards."

Smith's view is similar: "Sprewell's defense is not bad and experienced. In addition, small forward Trenton Hassel is an excellent defensive player. Wang Jun wants to play today is not easy."

The players played after warming up.

Nets starters: Jefferson, Wang Jun, Korver, Scala Bryan, Collins.

Lawrence adjusted the lineup, Eric Williams is only tall, not suitable to defend Garnett. Although "White Mamba" is soft, most of Garnett's offense is also a jumper, and it will be better if he has height interference.

Timberwolves: Kassel, Sprewell, Szebiak, Garnett, Ola Vulcandi.

Olawakandi jumped the ball to win. The game started.

The Nets teamed up with Jefferson in the middle and Wang Jun on the left.

Garnett midfielder pick-and-roll, Sprewell's ball breakthrough was targeted by "White Mamba". The ball was scored to the middle, while Kassel was without a screen from the side and ran to the bottom line.

Garnett is one of the strongest insiders in the league, like a big point guard. He is tall and has a broad vision. Seeing the free ball pass to the corner.

Collins changed defense slowly, but Casal missed a jumper and missed the rim.

"White Mamba" scored a rebound to give Jefferson a fast break. The latter single-handed Kassel missed a shot, the rebound was grabbed by Garnett, and Sprewell also reported a quick counterattack.

The "madman" singled out Wang Jun, forced a layup, and missed the rim under interference. Wang Jun immediately blocked and controlled the rebound.

The Nets attacked, Wang Jun received the ball after covering, Garnett changed defenses in time, he could not break through, he had to pull the shot, facing Garnett was a bad idea.

Wang Jun passed the ball and Jefferson missed another jumper.

The opening of the two sides set the tone for the iron hit, and the hit rate is not high. The Timberwolves now rely on Garnett at both ends of their offense and defense, and the others feel cold.

The Nets relied on Jefferson to fight back, and Wang Jun on position battles. The division of labor was clear, ensuring the offensive firepower.

Jefferson's defense against Kassel, once counterattack is misplaced, position and double pick-and-roll, Wang Jun can get rid of Garnett, Ola Vulcandi can not prevent.

Olawakandi is a well-known parallel, and the Timberwolves dug him from the Clippers last season and thought he would take advantage of it, which can assist Garnett, because the previous season he reached a career peak in the Clippers data, averaging 12.3 per game. Points 9.1 rebounds 1.3 assists 2.2 blocks, looks like a great blue-collar.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he joined the Timberwolves, Olawakandi immediately changed, not only offensive rotten, defensive also bad, averaging 6.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks, playing only 21.5 minutes.

He only knows that being a meat shield under the basket is very inactive against pick-and-roll. If you look at the overall strength, he is better than Kwame Brown, at least Brown defense is still very hard.

Both Kassel and Sprewell did not deserve big contracts this season, and they felt a little bit not playing seriously. They seemed to want to use this method to threaten management.

Szebiak was not as good as the original after the serious injury came back, and Korver defended him. His three-pointer was not allowed, and he also hit the iron twice in the low position under the interference of Korver.

In the first quarter, both sides played well and scored 18 draws.

In the second quarter, Wang Jun took the bench and made two consecutive three-pointers. After that, he scored two more midrange shots. He made two free throws and made 12 free throws in 5 minutes.

Garnett stopped playing, and the Timberwolves couldn't stand it.

Hoyberg's single defense Wang Jun suffered a loss and changed to Hassel defense. Wang Jun got rid of the pick-and-roll. Eddie Griffin's defense came off the bench and the defense was very bad. Changing defense was always half a shot slow. UU reading www. uukaanshu. com

Griffin was high hopes that year, was a popular candidate in 2001. The Rockets used Jefferson, Collins and Armstrong to switch from the Nets to him. But this man is a typical bastard, not thinking about basketball, wasting his talent completely, he is now unqualified as a role player.

Garnett returned to the field and exploded the Nets's inside line, leading the team to catch up with the score.

In the second half, the Nets players renewed their strength and exceeded the score. Kassel's perimeter defense also had loopholes. Olavokandi was poor at pick-and-roll. After being replaced, the bench was not as good as him. Madsen was too short and the offense was bad. Griffin attacks weak defense.

Offensively, role players always shoot irons, and Sprewell also met Wang Jun several times without defensive brain defense, making the team unable to cooperate.

Garnett watched his teammates play this kind of bear, but Wang Jun scored continuously, and he became more and more angry.

He was about to get angry. (To be continued.)
