O'Neal, Kidd, Duncan, before Garnett, Li Ao had only encountered three opponents who were rated as super giants.
Payton is a little bit behind, probably because he is older. At 32 years old, he has an evaluation of 94, which means he has been in his prime for a long time.
On the Afro side, Li Ao has not played against each other in the regular season and has not seen player detection reports. This guy pulled his crotch while doing the splits at the beginning of the season and took three weeks off.
The third-year Nowitzki has just reached the top level, with an evaluation of 90.
Due to the suspension, he was unable to play against Carter and Pierce. Li Ao did not see the evaluation reports of these two people, but he is estimated to be on the same level as McGrady and Nowitzki.
Li Ao was thinking about it when the spotlight at the player's tunnel on the opposite side went out and a new spotlight shone in front of him.
Hearing the boos and cheers from the fans at the scene, Li Ao put away his distracting thoughts, opened his arms and ran out of the player tunnel, enjoying the cheers from the fans at the scene.
After the players from both teams came on stage, the lights came on.
Li Ao felt like someone was staring at him across from him, and there really was one!
Kevin Garnett!
Li Ao has felt that malicious look many times. The one who is most similar to Garnett is a madman.
Li Ao was a little puzzled. Is this guy as brave as a madman?
No, he thought of the image of a madman who seemed to be nailed to the floor without daring to move his feet...
It doesn't matter anymore. He's not facing off against this guy. Among the opponent's players, he has someone more curious.
In Li Ao's impression, the regular starting center of the Timberwolves is Nesterovich, but among the five players when the Timberwolves played just now, the center position was played by another person...
Just in time, this person went to the technical desk to tie his wristband, and Li Ao went up to say hello: "Hi, Garnett,"
Dean Garrett turned to look at Li Ao, looked down at his jersey number, and responded: "Hi, Spider-Man, I'm not Garnett, I'm Garrett."
"Oh...is there anything different?"
"It's different. My last name is Garrett, not Garnett..." Dean Garrett explained seriously.
There are many people who mistake him and Garnett. They both have long black bodies. He wears jersey No. 22 and Garnett wears jersey No. 21.
Seeing that the other party was a bit stupid, Li Ao was too embarrassed to continue teasing him. Just as he was about to make friends, another black man came up and said: "Rookie, I am Kevin Garnett. Are your eyes so bad? Human Can you admit your mistake?"
"I know you are Garnett, but it is Dean I want to get to know, not you. You are really a peacock with its tail open." Li Ao glanced sideways at Garnett.
Garnett: (｀_)ゞ? ?
Peacock?
Garnett had seen it in the zoo. He remembered that it was a very gorgeous animal. It was dark and dark. How did it resemble a peacock?
Chauncey Billups, a college student on the side, answered online: "When a peacock faces a hunter, it will spread its tail to make it appear taller. It wants to scare off the enemy, but it will only usher in more excited hunting by the hunter." kill."
Garnett was instantly angry and rushed towards Li Ao...
Li Ao didn't even move, Dean Garrett stopped Garnett.
Garnett stretched his neck and was about to spray something. At this time, Li Ao raised his right hand, and Garnett suddenly took a big step away, causing Dean Garrett who was blocking him to stagger.
This ability to retreat is worthy of being a master of first defense last season. Li Ao scratched his neck and sighed to himself.
It could also be a step-back mid-range shot.
He can't always step back but can still retreat to the basket to score, that would be awesome.
Seeing Li Ao's actions, Garnett's expression looked like he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and then quickly turned into one that was about to become angry.
Li Ao smiled and nodded at Dean Garrett, turned and left.
After Li Ao turned around and went back, Garnett, who looked like he was about to become angry just now, quickly returned to normal.
Billups was stunned for a moment by this drama, but Dean Garrett, who has been his partner for many years, was not surprised.
…
Li Ao almost had a conflict with Garnett, which shocked Gentry and others.
Seeing Li Ao returning without a KO record, Gentry quickly pulled him and told him:
"Now the team is in the critical stage of polishing the defensive system. You are the core of perimeter defense and cannot be suspended..."
Li Ao responded and took the field to shoot hot shots.
The pre-match preparation period is over, and the starting lineups of the two teams come on the court.
Timberwolves starting lineup: Trill Brandon, Billups, Szczerbiak, Garnett, Dean Garrett.
Clippers starting lineup: Greg Anthony, Big Q, Li Ao, Odom, O'Neal Jr.
Looking at Garnett and O'Neal walking to the center circle to jump the ball, Li Ao's perception was challenged.
Both are 211 centimeters, and bald Garnett is taller than O'Neal with dreadlocks!
At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Garnett beat O'Neal to win the jump ball, and the Timberwolves struck first.
Trier Brandon attacked with the ball from the top of the arc, Billups opened the wing, Szczerbiak moved, and Dean Garrett moved to close range.
Trier Brandon changed direction and passed Big Q. Li Ao took a step toward the inside, and O'Neal also took a step up. No matter whether Trier Brandon, who was rushing in from the middle, made an emergency stop or rushed to the basket, All within the interference range of the Clippers' dual-core defense.
At the same time, Li Ao can return to Szczerbiak at any time, and O'Neal can also turn around to cover Dean Garrett's pass and attack the frame.
But just when Li Ao took a step back, Szczerbiak went to pick and roll Garnett!
Garnett got rid of Odom's pursuit and received a pass from Trier Brandon. Facing the charging Li Ao, he turned and shot a mid-range fadeaway jumper...hit!
Garnett roared, and while retreating, he watched Li Ao beat his chest twice.
Li Ao breathed a sigh of relief and ran forward.
It won't interfere at all!
According to official information, Garnett is 211 centimeters tall and has a wingspan of 226 centimeters.
Not only is his physical condition outstanding, he is also very strong in mid-range shooting and related basic skills and techniques. This season, his mid-range shooting rate is as high as 46%!
However, Li Ao found Dean Garrett's name interesting and ran to get to know him. This offense also left an impression on Li Ao.
O'Neal Jr. was clearly paying attention to Dean Garrett's movement, but Garnett's mid-range shot landed in front of the basket. Li Ao saw that Dean Garrett somehow walked around to get closer to O'Neal Jr. The position of the basket.
It can only be said that he is worthy of being a madman who can face Barkley and Olajuwon in the playoffs and grab 12 offensive rebounds in a single game?
Offense and defense transition, the Clippers position battle attack.
Greg Anthony and Odom started the offense in a pick-and-roll, and Garnett and Dean Garrett switched defenses, with the latter extending out to defend the pick-and-roll.
Odom picked up the ball and passed the ball to the right side of the three-second zone.
Li Ao turned around the bottom corner and ran back to get rid of Szczerbiak's mid-to-long-range melee pursuit, and came to the right side of the three-second zone to receive the ball.
Flip Saunders on the sidelines raised the corners of his mouth.
Li Ao ran out of position to receive the ball, and the shooting space was completely covered by Garnett!
Suddenly, Phillip Sanders' eyes widened.
He saw Li Ao dribbling the ball into the three-second zone and jumping towards Garnett!
Is this going to deduct Garnett?
Looking for a hat?
Garnett, who was under the basket, was also furious. He rushed toward Li Ao and reached out to block the shot...
Some fans at the scene exclaimed and some screamed.
When the slender bodies of the two giant spiders came into contact and their long arms crossed together, the noise at the scene reached a boiling point!
Li Ao was not affected at all during the confrontation. He firmly grabbed the ball with his big hand, avoided Garnett's blocking hand with the lever, and smashed the ball over Garnett's head into the basket!
Sharks are fierce!
Garnett felt the unparalleled impact. After landing, he took two steps back and sat on the floor.
The cheers and screams of the fans at the scene continued to rise!
The Wolf King has also become the spirit of Spider-Man!
No one can escape between the two numbers 21!
Li Ao ran back to the backcourt to celebrate with his excited teammates, and then quickly calmed down.
Fortunately, when we played against the Heat, I got a level 2 skill upgrade card to upgrade the 'Shark'. If the one-on-one space conditions are good, I can directly dunk Garnett.
However, the strong dunk was also very dangerous. Garnett's awareness of interfering with the ball was too strong and he almost got blocked!
Luckily his hands aren't as mini as an afro.
The Timberwolves attacked, and Li Ao kept up with Szczerbiak.
Trier-Brandon followed the same pattern in the last round of offense, and Garnett caught the ball and shot... again!
It’s really impossible to guard against it!
Li Ao, who had been fucked by Yan Ye twice in a row, said "屮" to vent his displeasure.
However, he felt that he had no problem defending, it was just that the opponent was strong and committed, and he would still defend like this next time.
If you can't defend yourself, then attack!
Li Ao ran to the frontcourt and was stuck by Szczerbiak.
Li Ao had a headache. The white small forward's defense surprised him.
He thought that this guy's defense was poor, but in fact, this guy's defense was really bad. His speed was only 84, and he could get rid of the opponent with just one reverse run.
But for such a poor defensive player, Li Ao didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
His run into Garnett's defensive coverage last possession was purely forced.
Szczerbiak is very slow, but he is recognized as the strongest player on the Timberwolves.
With a height of 201 centimeters and a weight of 111 kilograms, Li Ao's strength rating seen here is also as high as 93, the highest in the Timberwolves team.
Li Ao cut in or ran in reverse, but the muscular white man didn't care at all and just chased him and fought him.
This shoddy and mindless defense really worked!
Garnett has a defensive area that can cover the mid-range at the basket. Li Ao really can't do anything to Szczerbiak from the mid-range!
Li Ao rarely suffered a loss in strength when facing off against small forwards, and Szczerbiak's movements were extremely aggressive and his hand-to-hand combat moves were extensive.
Li Ao got mad, turned around, and rushed to the basket!
Greg Anthony passed the ball in time. Li Ao rushed to receive the ball from close range, took a step towards Garnett and took off!
Garnett was shocked and furious.
This rookie is still here!
He was also mad. He jumped with all his strength towards Li Ao, who was jumping over. Regardless of whether there was a pressing foul or not, he fought with all his strength and intercepted Spider-Man...
"哐"
Li Ao bared his teeth and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand through Garnett!
Spider-Man dunks the Wolf King again!
Flip Saunders on the sidelines looked at Garnett who fell to the floor again. He was stunned.
This is not how he planned the defense!

This chapter is too short and does not count as an additional update. It is a bit embarrassing to count it as an additional update. There are not many words in the free chapter. I will add an additional update tomorrow with a monthly pass of 1600...
