Chapter 329 [Exist in name only]

The Timberwolves had a good record at the start of the game, but it was difficult to hide the many internal conflicts within the team. The "three-headed monster combination" no longer cooperated and understood the same tacitly as last season.┞┢═┝┟.{.

Garnett led the team to break through the round for the first time last season. With the two strong players, Kassel and Sprewell, the three-headed monster was established. It is logical that the kg data may decline, but in the end, Garnett scored the best data in his career in the regular season. Averages 24.2 points, 13.9 rebounds and 5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 49.9%, and won MVP.

Garnett's playoffs was as stable as he averaged 24.3 points, 14.6 rebounds and 5 assists per game.

The reason for the contradiction is that Cassel, Spreeville is dissatisfied with his annual salary. Cassel entered the All-Squad 2 team and the All-Star in the regular season. Spreeville's playoff data rose to 19.8 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4 assists, and they all felt confident.

Spreville wants to renew his contract in advance for 420,000 yuan in three years, but the Timberwolves management disagreed, so he won't play well when he started the game. All the data have dropped significantly compared to last season.

After Kassel returned from injury, his condition was not comparable to last season.

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

This season, Kassel no longer praised Garnett, and he didn't mention it at all when he was interviewed, and he was full of high salary.

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

He has a bad temper, loves to compete, and uses any means to win. These are tough performances on the court, but it is a bit unreasonable to be like this off the court and in the locker room.

What is most offensive is that Garnett seems to like bullying rookies, as if he wants to use this to maintain his position in the team. ┞Old ══╞.《.

As early as when Szebiak was a rookie, Garnett told him in the locker room: "Some people don't know who the boss of this team is!" After a team training in 2ooo years, Garnett clashed with Szebiak, and Szebiak was bleeding from his face with one punch.

In this year's preseason training camp, Garnett was once again exposed to a scandal of beating rookie teammates.

Rick Ricott was selected 26th in the second round of last season and only entered the Timberwolves training camp this year. In a training class, Ricott felt hot. So he asked Garnett to fight to prove himself.

As a result, Ricott scored repeatedly, and Garnett's face quickly couldn't hold it.

When Ricott scored in front of Garnett again, he punched the opponent's chin without saying a word. This punch was without warning, and Ricott was not prepared. He was seriously injured.

Ricott immediately went to the hospital, had 7 stitches on his chin and several loosened his teeth.

For this reason, Ricott's family was very angry and publicly questioned Garnett. Why did they punch a young man in the same team? Garnett and his agent did not respond.

Afterwards, because the person who was beaten was just a small person, things were quickly suppressed. Some media actually said that this was Ricott's fault, saying that he provoked Garnett after scoring a single goal, and it seemed that he was not beaten to death.

In the end, Ricott was unable to stay in the Timberwolves. His psychological trauma may take a long time to calm down.

In short, the Timberwolve Trident has been in name only.╞┝╞┞Occurrence┟┝═.〔(.c[o?m

The competition started on time on the evening of the 18th.

The TNT radio broadcast live. Barkley smiled and said, "If Wang Jun can score high scores today, he will prove that he is already the hot scorer in the league. Garnett is one of the league's best power forwards in the pick-and-roll defense."

Smith has a similar view: "Spreville's defense is not bad, and she is experienced. In addition, small forward Trenton Hassel is an excellent defensive player, and it is not easy for Wang Jun to play today."

The players appeared after warming up.

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

Lawrence adjusted the lineup. Eric Williams is only 2o3cm tall and is not suitable for defense against Garnett. Although the "White Mamba" is soft, most of Garnett's offenses are also jump shots, which would be better if it is disturbed by height.

The Timberwolves Five: Kassel, Spreville, Szebiak, Garnett, Oravocandi.

Olavokandi jumped to the ball and won the game.

The net team defended in the joint defense, leaving Jefferson in the middle and Wang Jun on the left.

Garnett picked and roll in the middle, Spreville broke through with the ball and was targeted by "White Mamba". He passed the ball to the middle, and Kassel had no ball cover from the side and ran to the bottom line.

Garnett is one of the strongest inside players in the league, like a big point guard. He is tall and has a broad vision. He sees the ball passing to the bottom corner when he sees the ball passes to the bottom.

Collins' replacement was slow, but Casar's open jump shot missed the basket.

"White Mamba" won the rebound and gave Jefferson a fast break. The latter beat Kassel and missed the shot. Garnett grabbed the rebound, and the pass Spreville also quickly counterattacked.

The "madman" beat Wang Jun alone, forced a layup, and missed the basket under interference. Wang Jun immediately got stuck and controlled the rebound.

The Nets attacked, Wang Jun covered the ball and received the ball. Garnett replaced defense in time. He couldn't break through and wanted to shoot. It was even a bad idea to face Garnett.

Wang Jun passed the ball, and Jefferson once again stopped and missed the jump shot.

Both sides set the tone of making a blacksmith at the beginning, and the shooting rate is not high. The Timberwolves now rely on Garnett on both ends of the offense and defense, and the others feel cold.

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

Jefferson defends Kassel, and once counterattacks, it will be misplaced. He will fight in positions and double pick-and-roll. Wang Jun can get rid of Garnett, but Olavokandi cannot defend.

Olavokandi is a famous No. 1 pick. The Timberwolves dug him from the Clippers last season and thought he could take advantage of it and assist Garnett because he reached the peak of his career with the Clippers the previous season, averaging 12.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 2.2 blocks per game. He looks like a great blue-collar worker.

Unexpectedly, when he joined the Timberwolves, Olavokandi immediately changed. Not only did his offense fail, but his defense was also bad, averaging 6.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game, and only played 21.5 minutes.

He only knows that he is a meat shield at the basket and is not active in defending pick-and-roll. If we look at the overall strength, he is more watery than Kwame Brown, at least Brown is still very hard in defense.

Kassel and Spreville's performance this season is not worthy of a big contract, and they feel a little unscrupulous in playing, and they seem to want to use this method to threaten the management.

After returning from serious injury, Szebiak was not as good as before, so Korver defended him. His three-pointer was not accurate, and he also made a two-shot shot in the low post due to Korver's interference.

The two sides swung the game and tied the game to 18.

In the second quarter, Wang Jun led a substitute and made two consecutive three-pointers, then made two more mid-range shots, making a breakthrough and fouls and two free throws, scoring 12 points in 5 minutes.

After Garnett's game, the Timberwolves couldn't stand it anymore.

Hoyborg suffered a loss in defending alone, and replaced Hassel's defense. Wang Jun was getting rid of it by pick-and-roll. Eddie Griffin, who came on as a substitute, had a bad defense, and he was always half a beat slow to switch defense.

Griffin was highly expected back then and was once a popular candidate for the No. 1 pick in 2OO. The Rockets used Jefferson, Collins and Armstrong to switch from the Nets to him. But this person is a typical bastard, and he is not focused on basketball and has completely wasted his talent. Now he is not qualified as a role player.

After returning to the court, Garnett beat the inside of the nets and led the team to catch up with the score.

In the second half, the Nets players worked hard again and scored the score. Cassel also had loopholes in the outside defense. Olavokandi was poor in the pick-and-roll defense, and after being replaced, he was not as good as him in the substitute. Madson was too short and had a poor offense and could open it at will. Griffin was weak in offense and defense.

On the offensive end, role players always hit the iron shots, and Spreville also faced Wang Jun's defense several times, making the team unable to cooperate.

Garnett saw his teammates playing like this, but Wang Jun scored continuously and became more and more angry.

He is about to be angry.
