842. Foolishly loyal Garnett(2/2)
But how can we convince the coaching staff to believe this?
After all, it’s a kidney transplant!
Anyway, the suggestion has been put forward. No matter how the coaching staff and the boss consider it, Liu Mang can't force it. After all, it is not a rookie selection. Rookies can do anything. As for kidney transplant, it is rare to experience such a serious illness.
After major surgery, he can still play in the NBA.
Although Ostertag also had a similar surgery, both of Ostertag's kidneys were healthy, and he transplanted one kidney to his sister. There was no kidney problem, but even so, he was only 32 years old.
The 33-year-old Ostertag retired after last season. He was unable to control his weight after losing one kidney. He could still rely on perseverance to hold on when he didn't win the championship. The summer after winning the championship, his weight soared to more than 150 kilograms.
Already.
Liu Mang thought about it and thought about it, and he won my life...
…
At 6:30, the Hawks' away game against the Timberwolves was about to begin.
The atmosphere in Target Center was depressing, similar to the atmosphere in the Timberwolves now.
Liu Mang wiped his powder and looked at the ability evaluation and data of the Timberwolves players.
Kevin Garnett, ability evaluation 98 (peak), offense 90, defense 100, 61 three-pointers, 89 mid-range shots, 91 layups, 85 speed, 89 strength, 99 rebounds, 83 passing...averaged 22 points per game
14 rebounds, 5.6 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1.6 blocks.
Sam Cassel, ability rating 86, offense 88, defense 85... averaged 14.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.
Latrell Sprewell, ability rating 85, offense 90, defense 73... averaged 15.1 points, 2.9 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game.
It’s not much different from last season!
Garnett is at his peak, versatile to the extreme, with a true power forward body and a small forward style, and an unstoppable defense. He is the best defensive player. If it weren't for Artest last season, he should have won the first MVP award.
A good defensive player.
The Alien and the Madman are both older and stronger. The two 35-year-old veterans are not much different from the 34-year-old last season. They are both very strong and have the level of first-class stars with good statistics.
The Timberwolves' lineup has almost no changes compared to last season. There is also Szczerbiak, whose ability evaluation is 81, who averages 15 3 2 per game as the sixth man. The Timberwolves' strength should have improved!
Liu Mang sprinkled some fans, and after a wave of hatred and boos, he walked onto the court and waited for the game to start.
The Hawks' lineup is still Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Prince, Rasheed Wallace, and Kwame Brown.
The Timberwolves sent Cassell, Treyton Hassell, Sprewell, Garnett, and Olowokandi.
Kwame Brown and Garnett, two iconic high school inside players, came to the center circle to jump the ball. The referee selected the ball and saw that the players from both teams were in good position. He blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball to
in the air.
"oh!"
Liu Mang saw Kwame Brown win the jump ball from Garnett's head very well today!
Liu Mang received the ball and immediately passed it to Tracy McGrady and ran towards the frontcourt. He thought that in the last game, Kwame Brown got more than 20 rebounds and only scored 9 points. As expected, he was stimulated. From now on, he will pass to little Kwame less.
Let's take a penalty kick. It would be great if we can do this well every day.
Liu Mang rushed to the frontcourt, expecting to encounter some obstacles, but who knew that he rushed directly to the opponent's basket. Tracy McGrady didn't need to run to the corner to attract the defense. He received the ball and took two steps to hang the basket. Liu Mang was so high.
He jumped up and caught the ball in the air. When he jumped up, he took a look and saw that only Garnett was back on defense. Liu Mang was stuck in the air and slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand.
The audience immediately burst into boos, displeased with Liu Mang's provocative alley-oop.
Garnett rushed in and saw Liu Mang landing on the ground. He glared hard and said nothing, even if he knew how to scold him. Fighting... let's forget it. Garnett went to pick up the ball.
After picking up the ball, he saw that Cassel and Sprewell were not active in defending and both reached out for the ball. Garnett simply didn't want to pass the ball!
Liu Mang, who returned to defense, turned his head and looked around. Seeing this scene, he probably understood the problem on the Timberwolves' side.
The scouting report was not that precise. It said there was a problem with the chemical reaction, but wasn't it actually a matter of fighting for the ball?
"Ding...Characteristics: Foolish Loyalty level 3 trigger, wholeheartedly fighting for the team, trying to trust teammates, from Kevin Garnett."
Yuzhong has become level 3?
Liu Mang saw a very obvious difference. In the past, Garnett was described as fighting for the team wholeheartedly, but now it has become one-hearted. This difference is the difference between trying his best and trying his best!
Only then did Liu Mang remember that Garnett's totem buff type talent skill Wolf Blood Boiling and the built-in defensive system Iron Blood Field were not triggered! Therefore, there was no enthusiasm for defense at all, and there was no let-up on the court because of Garnett's presence.
Players from both teams felt pressure.
That is to say, the Timberwolves team is no longer the team that was dedicated to fighting for the championship last season!
Seeing Cassell receiving Garnett's serve, advancing forward and ignoring his teammates, he challenged Prince and went for a single, and angrily sent a long two-pointer. Liu Mang immediately stepped down and rushed to the opponent's bottom corner to receive McGrady's pass.
He turned around and missed a three-pointer after the ball, but was tipped in by Rasheed Wallace and scored two points. The Timberwolves' retreat speed was obviously not as fast as last season. Only Garnett was running at full strength.
Cassel's current style of play has become too unique, and Sprewell's style of play is also the same. They have become mainly singles, and at most they can score in singles.
Liu Mang remembered that these two people seemed to have left the Timberwolves after the end of the season due to contract issues.
No wonder, the Timberwolves collapsed immediately!
The isolation efficiency of the two is actually very good most of the time, so the Timberwolves can still play some games, and as the season progresses, the Timberwolves and the Hawks are different. Their mid-season schedule is very easy, and they may return to eighth place in the Western Conference playoffs.
The ranks of competitors is not a big problem, but at this stage, they are just giving food to the strong teams by playing like this.
McHale seemed to have no idea what to do, so he forced Cassel, Sprewell, and Garnett to play in singles for half a quarter and scored 10 points. Cassel met Prince and Sprewell.
Ware met Tracy McGrady, and Garnett met Rasheed Wallace, but their efficiency was very low. They relied on a fast pace and scored 10 points on 4 of 14 shots.
The Eagles relied on counterattacks and fast breaks to score 19 points!
Liu Mang scored 8 points in a single quarter and was replaced by Tony Allen.
Liu Mang was sitting on the bench and saw Garnett's gloomy expression across from him. Apart from anything else, as a basketball player, he admired Garnett's desire to win the game.
Liu Mang thought of Coach Kruger's previous joke... It's not impossible to get Garnett and wait two more years for his Yu Zhong's mind to collapse!
Mourning who steals the Heat, Garnett who steals the Knicks...
Chapter completed!
