The Pope of Basketball Community

In the second quarter, it was the performance time of the Lakers substitutes. Even if Odom was not there, the Timberwolves had no choice.

Yang Rui didn't even use the tactical board anymore. He pointed at Erlang and pointed at several people. "Five of you." Then continue to eat snacks and look like a movie theater.

Mo Williams, Ariza, Iguodala, Wharton and Dior debuted without a center.

On the surface, this may seem to be a nonsense, but in fact it is a coup, because the Timberwolves have almost no offense in the post, all rely on guard breakthroughs and peripheral shots, the Lakers swingers do not lose the basket, will not become a defensive loophole.

Timberwolves: Kassel, Anthony Carter, Jarvis Hayes, Eddie Griffin, Mark Madsen.

Madsen is 206 cm tall and weighs 109 kg. He is very strong and has no offensive ability. His scoring is based on picking up leaks under the basket.

Griffin is 208cm tall, the style is closer to the small forward, the offensive jumper is the main, and the shot is not accurate, it is not a fear.

The big guys are not big, the Lakers are also joint defense, the Timberwolves can only make three-pointers Kassel and Griffin, Kassel's main scoring means is the mid-range shot, no matter from which side of the attack, the height of the Lakers players can do In order to interfere with the shot, the movement speed will not be overstepped.

After grabbing a rebound in the backcourt and counterattacking, the Lakers can all get off quickly. Ariza is misaligned with the two defenders and a forced layup is an opportunity.

In the positional battle, Wharton and Diora went out to organize, giving space to Mo Williams and Iguodala to break through the attack, and also ensured the efficiency of the attack.

The score difference widened to 25 points, McHale replaced Garnett early, replaced Madsen, and added a scoring point.

Yang Rui replaced Wharton, replaced Rashid, defended Garnett, and continued to use substitutes in other positions. Only six minutes later, he was replaced by Kobe and Yao Ming.

After Yao Ming played, he immediately played a low post Garnett, Mike Hale immediately replaced Ola Vokandi, replacing the 2-for-0, Griffin with little performance.

The parallel champion was again against Yao Ming, responsible for the defense in the penalty area, and of course it was unstoppable. Yao Ming scored 4 points in a row and made Ola Vokandi a third foul two minutes later.

In this quarter, Yao Ming scored 8 points, 25 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block in the half and ruled the penalty area.

In the second half, the Timberwolves also continued to use Olawakandi and veterans Johnson and Yao Ming. At the end of the third quarter, both of them were fouled four times.

The Timberwolves trailed 37 points in the last quarter and entered garbage time.

At this time, many people are surprised, why not let Garnett prevent Yao Ming? Hasn't he been selected as the best defensive player all year round? How does McHale serve as a coach? Will he hire people?

Although McHale lacked coaching experience, he was a Celtics superstar and one of the NBA's 50 superstars when he was a player. He certainly knows basketball and defense, because he has been selected for the NBA's best defensive lineup three times, two Second time.

Not only McHale, but when Sanders was still there, he would not let Garnett defend Yao Ming because he couldn't resist.

Garnett has never been the main defense center. He is good at defending the forwards, changing the pick-and-roll, and assisting the blocking. Because of the strength defect, once Garnett cannot be leaned against, the defensive efficiency will be greatly reduced. In this respect, he is no different from Gasol, Rashid, Bosh and others.

When he first entered the league, Garnett played the small forward in the Timberwolves. Because he didn't want to play the center, he made a false report of his height by two centimeters. And his weight is about 100 kg all year round, only 95 kg when the rookie side, now 107 kg. Not to mention the professional NBA coach, even if it is a pseudo-fan, a glance at Garnett's slender body, he should know that he is not suitable for playing center.

That’s right, Yao Ming’s muscles don’t look as strong as Garnett’s, but on the court, a steady down is the key. If the mango stage organized basketball, He Kang could not prevent Hai Tao. Hai Tao could play him a gardenia and let him know why the flowers are so red!

If Garnett was able to resist, McHale would not have to dig in for a man like Olavokandi after Nestorovic left. It's not that McHale still believes in his talents, but that the team must have a flesh shield center, which is helpless.

In Yang Rui's previous life, even during the time of the Celtics Big Three, Garnett must have a meat shield around him.

The Celtics led the Lakers 3-2 in the 10-year finals. After Perkins was injured, they were reversed without incident.

Later, Perkins was traded to the Thunder, and the Big Three couldn't recover from their bravery. The decline was related to the age of the star, but the unreasonable lineup configuration was the root cause. The team center was Rondo of 185CM. How to win?

In Yang Rui's previous life, Garnett realized that he didn't lose weight after the 2004-2005 season. The team realized that there was no weight, and began to gain weight in the summer. When he was training camp in the 05-06 season, he weighed 115 kg. Major media reported that it was called "weight gain", but even Garnett after the weight gain was reluctant to play a center, his legs were not thick enough, and his lower limb strength was average.

Until Yao Ming retired, the number of matches between the two was one of the few. Garnett often played against Hayes. He did not move Hayes on the back. The video of turning and missing the shot left a lot. It is the reason why Hayes can get a high salary and long contract with the King.

"Hard Secret" is most proud of, Garnett's "anti-death" Yao Ming's case was on January 3, 2008, the Rockets challenged the Celtics away, Garnett defended at a critical moment in the fourth quarter It took Yao Ming a few minutes.

In that game, McGrady didn't play due to injury, but the Rockets trailed the score by more than 20 points. At the last moment, because Garnett performed well, he lost 93 to 97.

In this game, Yao Ming had a bad hand, but he was full of lethality. The Celtics used starting center Perkins and substitute center Pollard to defend Dayao~www.readwn.com~ 6 offenses in the fourth quarter End.

Then, Garnett turned out, after teammates consumed Yao Ming's physical strength in a wheel fight, and played against Yao Ming for 40 minutes, showing a tough defense. Moreover, it is not that Yao Ming, who is defended by Garnett, cannot shoot, but that he has a chance to miss.

Take a look at the Celtics and Rockets lineup at that time. In comparison, the "hard secret" is clearly known as Yao. If the two players exchange teams, Garnett can start the first half with Hyde, Alstom, Battier, Hayes starting?

The Celtics start the Big Three, Perkins, Rondo, and the substitutes also have Tony Allen, James Posey, "Big Baby" Glen Davis, Eddie House, Leon Bow Wait for a group of strongmen.

In that game, the Rockets could reach the end. The key is that Yao Ming graduated two insiders. The Green Army restricted Yao Ming. The price paid was that Wells broke out. The Rockets scored 55 points inside, which was Yao Ming's containment. The result of defense.

In contrast, the Green Army, except Garnett, the other inside is basically abolished, a total of less than 40 points.

And that was Yao Ming’s worst game against Garnett’s team, with 19 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists in 42 minutes, and a 35% shooting percentage.

While Garnett was in the Timberwolves period, Yao Ming averaged a level of 25+10. After finishing the Timberwolves inside, Garnett did not defend; on the offensive end, he also shot outside and would not challenge Yao Ming.

Hard to prevent death of soft Yao, just a legend. His style is actually best suited for playing inside with Yao Ming, not as an opponent.

In the final quarter, both sides sent benches. The five Lakers were Mo Williams, Ariza, Wharton, Dior, Diop. The offense and defense were balanced. The Timberwolves took a tyrannical substitute and scored 32 to 15.

In the end 134 to 80, the Lakers won 54 points and made the playoffs.
