Chapter 30 The artist on the sidelines!(1/3)

 Garnett has always been a very controversial player in the league.

People who like him say that he is an iron-blooded wolf king who is good at offense and defense and is unparalleled in strength.

People who don't like him say that he can't attack the colander on offense, can't defend against the offensive super giant, and even his personality is the kind of superficial toughness that bullies the weak and fears the strong.

Du Kang doesn’t have any colored glasses for most players in the NBA.

The first game Du Kang watched when he came to the United States was the game between Houston and the Celtics on January 2, 2008.

Therefore, Du Kang was very impressed.

In this game, Celtics center Perkins and substitute center Pollard were fouled out by Yao Ming in a double double.

In the end, the Celtics asked Garnett to guard Yao Ming.

Yao Ming is very good at defense. He can push, block, and grab. Yao Ming, who was very physically exhausted at critical moments, had difficulty connecting with the ball when he was guarded by Garnett. Even after receiving the ball, he couldn't hit it.

Garnett's defense against Yao Ming in this game was a textbook example. The younger brothers consumed Yao Ming and reaped the rewards in the end.

Playing against Yao Ming on the offensive end is also textbook.

At that time, Houston's fourth-position defense had always had problems, and Garnett went crazy in the mid-to-long range to hit Yao Ming's weaknesses that couldn't be repaired.

The whole game was 11-for-16, and in the fourth quarter it was like a god descending from the earth, 5-for-6, scoring 11 points in a single quarter.

In that extremely anxious game, the Celtics of the Big Three, led by Garnett, defeated Houston, which was led by Yao Ming when Tracy McGrady was injured.

What impressed Du Kang most about Garnett in this game is that he can do everything, so he can always find the opponent's weaknesses in the game.

Maybe his skills are not the best, but they are all above the first-class level.

This is also the reason why he is so controversial.

He is indeed versatile both offensively and defensively.

But because they are not the top, sometimes they are very embarrassed.

Because the offense is not top-notch, he can do everything, but he has no special skills and cannot beat Nowitzki, who is average in defense.

Because the defense is not the best, single defense, top defense is not as good as Duncan, the assist defense is the best, but the assist defense can't control Nowitzki's stand-up singles, so it can't guard against the super offensive players.

Nowitzki.

Therefore, when I met Nowitzki, I was in a very embarrassed state, and it would be an exaggeration to say that I was hung up.

Such an all-around single-core leader may be easily targeted.

But when you have a group of excellent teammates around you, such versatility is amazing.

But the current Yi Jianlian is not the peak Nowitzki.

In the first two simulations, because he did not gain enough confidence and deterrence in front of Buss, Yi Jianlian was pinched just like Yao Ming when he met Garnett.

Now Garnett's physical fitness has declined, his athletic ability has declined, and he has basically lost the speed of assist defense and individual defense.

But Garnett's defensive experience is now top-notch.

If Yi Jianlian's offense does not have enough deterrence and confidence, then Garnett can use his comprehensiveness to defend every point. As long as Garnett does not care about one thing or another, no one can attack him.

Nowitzki played so skillfully against Garnett, but he just took advantage of Garnett to focus on one thing and not the other.

So now, does Yi Jianlian have offensive deterrence?

Are you confident?

Du Kang smiled.

The Celtics' choice on the court is obvious!

On the court, Nash and Yi Jianlian pick and roll, and Garnett's gun screen is very good. The tacit understanding between Nash and Yi Jianlian still needs more time.

Nash, who did not pass the ball to Yi Jianlian immediately, broke through Avery Bradley's defense and immediately handed the ball to Kobe, who was cutting around without the ball.

After receiving the pass from Nash, Kobe made a very picturesque back turn to get rid of Pierce's defense and went straight to the basket.

At this time, he looked at Kobe who was coming in front, and then at Howard standing next to him. Wilcox, who had just been replaced, was already trembling.

There is Kobe in front and Howard next to him. Let alone a mere role player. Even if Duncan is here, he can only resign himself to standing here as the background, right?

Just when Wilcox was shivering, a figure appeared in his field of vision, and Wilcox breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kevin Garnett!"

Garnett, who was originally transferred out by Yi Jianlian, was ready to come back to help defend at any time after Nash passed the ball to Kobe.

Ray Allen is no longer here, and it would be too dangerous for Pierce to chase Kobe like this.

Garnett is always ready.

Even if the ball is in Nash's hands, he will still take care of it.

But the ball is in Kobe's hands, so there is no need to worry.

"He can't pass the ball!"

Kobe jumps up!

Garnett also jumped up!

Kobe is twirling and moving in the air!

Garnett waved his right hand and prepared to block the shot!

Kobe dodges, moves, and leans back to prepare for a shot!

Garnett's big hand has arrived!

Seeing this scene, the originally excited Celtics fans were ready to roar passionately.

"KG wants to block Kobe!"

They just need to wait for the snap and then cheer!

However, Garnett's hand waved down, but they did not hear the waiting sound of the blocked shot!

Kobe, who was leaning back, didn't shoot.

Kobe, who was leaning back in the air, lightly tossed the basketball in his hand, and the basketball flew behind Garnett!

"Why?!"

We've all gotten here, and Kobe actually passed the ball!

Garnett looked at Kobe in the air, dumbfounded.

At this moment, a huge impact rushed towards his body!

If Garnett wasn't heavy enough, and if Garnett was just a small guard, he would definitely be knocked out!

Bang!

The Celtics fans, who had just been expecting Garnett to hit Kobe Bryant, now looked shocked and confused.

Their beloved KG, their beloved Wolf King, was dunked again!

Looking at the Chinese player No. 11 of the Lakers who was riding Garnett and hanging his hands on the basket, the three TNT commentators on the sidelines all stood up.

"Oh my god..."

The three of them opened their mouths in shock!

Kobe actually passed the ball!

This is O'Neal.

KG was actually ridden and dunked again. He was ridden twice by the same person in one game!

This is Barkley.

Two buckles that went down in history in one game!

This is Kenny Smith.

After Kenny Smith was shocked, he subconsciously turned his attention to the young coach of the Lakers who was sitting and applauding.

"Coach D's employment in this game is amazing!"

"No, it should be Coach D. He is amazing!"

"The whole world knows that he is messing with Kobe, but Kobe is willing to pass such a ball to China Yi for him!"

"Incredible! Incredible! Incredible!"

At this time, Kenny Smith was already incoherent.

"Kobe, who has always been proud, chose to surrender even though he knew Coach D was going to mess with him!"

Kobe's pass was even more shocking than Yi Jianlian's dunk.

Although Garnett was being ridden by Yi Jianlian at this time, his eyes were still staring at Kobe.

The same goes for many people. Compared to being dunked by Yi Jianlian, Kobe's pass shocked and puzzled him more.
