Chapter 294: The Wolf King no longer howls! Rookies gather in the audience

Obviously, Dayao also felt this on the court.

Although Garnett was selected to the All-Defensive Team this year, Yao Ming was not afraid at all. He did not hold back at all in the limited playing time. He just used his wide body to get the ball behind his back and touched Garnett's waist when he climbed up the ladder.

In this case, a powerful meat-and-egg attack drove away Garnett!

Then he made a fake move under the basket and flew O'Neal away. He stood on tiptoe for a moment and succeeded in a one-handed dunk!!!

It gradually became apparent that Garnett was exhausted.

I really can’t stand it!

When he was in the Western Conference, Garnett was outplayed by Yao Ming. Now in the Knicks, Yao Ming is still a substitute. This rotation of the Celtics is very difficult. The only one who can match up is O'Neal, who has limited physical strength and can no longer do what he did in the paint when he was young.

One pillar holds up the sky.

"Hey, can't Garnett learn from Big Dream? How good are Howard and Yao in controlling their fouls?"

Scarlett, an old fan, said that Garnett was dying slowly if he played like this. Unless you hit the target 100 times, you won't be able to do damage. The Knicks' two big centers have a lot of stamina.

"I'm older and don't want to fight inside."

"On the contrary, O'Neal has always had his perseverance. Although he is old, he still exerts his strength when he should."

Although he was picked off from the back by Howard and beaten by Yao who once challenged him, the pressure on O'Neal when he was on the court was that he would not take even a step back!!

Even if I can't jump, even if you want to dunk me next, I will be the backdrop.

But as a representative of the super center, he will guard the Celtics' last line of defense.

Neutral European commentators have said that compared to the current O'Neal, Garnett has the most perfect inside figure. In fact, he has always had a soft touch and top-notch low-post singles ability in the regular season.

He even dunked on rookie king Griffin, turned around and dunked on Anthony, he could do everything.

The Wolf King is somewhat of an all-powerful insider.

He is really not the reckless coward that everyone sees now. He really can only use turnaround jumpers to beat the Knicks.

Jiang Chao was actually very impressed. He saw clearly at the scene that Garnett was wearing thick knee pads and frowning after every jump to grab the board. This was obviously a reaction to the pain in his body while playing.

For a player with such amazing talent in both offense and defense, the only thing that can stop him, and the one topic that cannot be escaped is - injuries!!

His knee injury has been bothering him since his first year in the league. Because he entered the league early, his current state is completely inferior to Tim Duncan, who entered the league a year later and is the same age as him.

Coming to play in a top-level league too early is just like why Rose was seriously injured later. At the age of 18, the bones in his body have not grown strong, and it is easy to leave hidden dangers of injuries.

In the second quarter, the Wolf King played 8 minutes. He made 1 of 5 shots and scored 2 points, 2 turnovers, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. To be honest, an ordinary power forward can also produce this kind of data. The plus-minus value is even more rare -18.

, which made many fans wearing Wolf King jerseys dare not cry at night.

Except for his rookie season with the Timberwolves, the Wolf King played about 40 minutes in other seasons and maintained a high attendance rate. At the end of the 2008-09 season, he underwent knee surgery in May.

In October 2009, Garnett, who had been sidelined for more than half a year due to injury, announced his comeback. The doctor said he would need to rest for a year. When interviewed by reporters, he said: I'm fine. I feel really good. My knee

There was no problem. When asked, kg said: Because I really have had enough rest!

In the 09-10 season, Garnett returned to the court and occasionally performed like a superstar. On the defensive end, he also performed very well most of the time. In January 2010, at the last moment of the Magic game, Rashad -

Lewis broke through Garnett with the last acceleration, winning the game.

At that moment, Pierce, Allen, and Perkins were all stunned.

How could Lewis break through their defense like this?

His idol, Magic Johnson, accused: "KG has a small reputation and is not a real leader. I have never seen him take responsibility at critical moments. In the face of numerous criticisms, Garnett remained silent and once again retreated tactically."

It wasn't until he played a 2412 game last season that he began to respond (cup loading):

Garnett said: Recovering from injury is a psychological issue in a sense. On a mental level, this is the most difficult season for me. I played most of the games, played very hard and persisted.

, relying on one leg, is still effective in this difficult race

Every season, ups and downs, highs and lows, goes round and round. Some nights my body feels great, but other nights, I feel a lot of pain. Unless Rivers (the Green Army coach) comes over with a ruler to let me rest, otherwise I will

I will continue to fight on the court and never stop!

Last season was considered the season when he returned to his peak.

Garnett turned into a passionate and tough player in the playoffs, averaging 18.8 points and 8 rebounds per game, which was higher than the 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds in the regular season. The 34-year-old Garnett's performance conquered the fans.

Whenever I see thousands of people shouting "Come on," I want to ride on my opponent and dunk!

This was the accompanying text of the famous Green Army Wolf King roaring picture at that time.

The Magic, which eliminated Howard 4-2 in the Eastern Conference finals, avenged their defeat in 2009. Garnett is like this, when you think he is too old to be good, but it seems that he is good again, when you have expectations for him,

But sometimes it disappoints you.

In the last game of last year's finals, Garnett scored 17 points on 8-for-13 shooting, which was very efficient, but only had 3 rebounds. Kobe and Gasol had 33 rebounds, but Gasol's rebounds completely overwhelmed him, and they ultimately lost.

Contest.

But now he is facing two centers who are as capable as Gasol. In fact, Yi Jianlian is also very effective in guarding Gasol in the international arena. However, for the sake of stability today, Okur and David Lee are more likely to be there.

With Garnett, even so, Garnett didn't use his height to beat them a few times.

"But I think his mid-range shot in the highlights is still accurate."

"Yes, otherwise we would be too aggressive."

Jiang Chao touched Lily's head. In the second quarter, the key figure of the Celtics actually became long-handed Rondo.

Rondo at his peak was so cocky!

This rhythmic young guard's style of play is so popular that Knicks recruits can't be fooled by all kinds of fake moves.

In particular, the dragon's tail-wagging fake and sudden killing move is extremely tempting and effective. Whether it's Curry, Beverley or Matthews, they were all swayed by Rondo's strange rhythm.

And even if you have told him many times to let him shoot, he takes the initiative to get close to you and press into the paint. In addition, Garnett likes to shoot, but he becomes a Long center?

"Is this what Simmons feels like?"

Jiang Chao saw him post up Curry and Mills in various ways. Later, Danny Green was better, but because he was too nervous, he kept using fake moves.

The main reason is that he is too strong. With his broad shoulders, it would be difficult for the Knicks defender to withstand a collision!

Rondo looks thin and small, but in fact, his physical talents are not comparable to ordinary people. In addition to having a pair of big hands, Rondo's wingspan is also far beyond ordinary people.

He is 1.86 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.03 meters!

His wingspan is 17 centimeters longer than his height, which shows how exaggerated his body proportions are.

It's a good thing that he didn't shoot, otherwise if he were to guard him all the time, he would become Durant on the back line.

"Mainly because he still has the passing imagination of Magic and Ginobili, this year Rondo has transformed into the leader."

As the starting point guard, Rondo really dragged his big brother in this game. He was the one connecting the ball.

For example, during the chasing phase in the second quarter, he made a big change of direction and stopped Matthews in place. He rushed inside and passed the ball to Pierce without looking behind his back. Pishen's open position was still very stable, and he made the ball easily.

If I had to choose a future successor for the Green Army, then Rondo would be a unique choice! - Pierce.

This scene reminded everyone of what Pierce said before.

But what Jiang Chao knew was that Rondo had all sorts of problems after he led the team as a single-core player. He brushed two pairs, then took a shower and got some soap, which resulted in a broken hand... The Green Army couldn't bear it and put him away early in the post-Big Three era.

After the transaction, Coach Long also started his wandering career as a veteran, which is not a big regret.

"I have little experience. I didn't expect Rondo to be so powerful."

In fact, when Jiang Chao watched Rondo in later generations, he was no longer very strong. He was more of a top-curse dealer and smoker. From time to time, he would make a few three-point long shots with a good touch. In most cases, he was quick like today in stealing.

Attack scenes are so rare, even fast breaks are not seen where Long guides him to play a few.

But now, the iron-blooded scene of him falling to the ground and diving for the ball, pulling the ball up with one hand and continuing for a layup really has the flavor of the Green Army. This is a true Celtic.

"If I were the coach now, I would simply not use the point guard and let George or Hayward guard the forwards."

In fact, in Jiang Chao's opinion, Rondo plays like a swingman. In this case, forward defense is the best, because he doesn't have three-pointers, so the only thing that needs to be defended is his breakthrough, so give him a shot.

Let’s fight!

If you are directly guarded by a front line, your height, weight, and even your proudest wingspan will all suppress you. How do you play???

We did try a ball on the court. George, who had just come on the field, caught the ball and dribbled a few times, but Rondo cleverly stole the ball from behind. Then it quickly turned into a line of lightning and succeeded with a one-handed dunk!!!

The fourth giant!

Smooth!

The Knicks don’t have his nemesis James!!

"This style of play."

Jiang Chao clicked his tongue. This player who can pass, hit and defend is still very popular in this era.

"Blow the Knicks!"

"Come on, Pierce!"

"Longdoduotu!"

At this moment, Jiang Chao heard a series of sounds coming from behind him.
