However, such a duel is a feast for the fans at the scene, they love to watch it.
Love is the new Wolf King that all fans have high hopes for, while Garnett is the real old Wolf King. The two of them face off head-to-head, and the tickets are really worth buying.
This time, Love tested Garnett's defensive position with his feet after receiving the ball, and found that Garnett was still using a close defensive method. He no longer hesitated and continued to push inside.
"boom!"
The two collided, and Garnett was given enough strength this time, but Love was not impressed.
"Huh?"
Le Fu was a little surprised. Did the old wolf king want to fight him for real?
When it comes to physical confrontation, Love is not afraid. Although he is white, more than 200 kilograms of meat are not for nothing. Although he does not show muscles when wearing a game jersey, it does not mean that he has no strength.
Love immediately exerted all his energy and took the initiative to use his back to find resistance.
"Snapped!"
Completely different from what was expected, this time Love jumped into the air, fighting the air with all his strength, using too much force, losing his center of gravity, and sat down on the ground with a "pop" sound.
The ball in his hand was nowhere to be found, but when he looked closely, it happened to be in the hands of Garnett.
The fans at the scene had a panoramic view of this funny scene and couldn't help laughing. Although this was their new Wolf King, it was really funny.
Just now, Garnett took the initiative to confront Love, coaxing him to take the initiative to use his strength. When he used his full strength for the second time, he easily removed the stool with one move.
Jeremy Lin reacted quickly and sped up to the frontcourt the moment Love fell.
Garnett's vision was very wide, and he made a precise long pass to Jeremy Lin who was about to pass. The latter took three steps to catch the ball and added two more points with his right hand for a layup, 9:4.
"Hey, I can buckle but I don't. It's just for fun!"
Jeremy Lin joked with Harden as he ran back into the backcourt.
"You're the only one who knows how to whistle."
Harden laughed and cursed, stretched out his hand and high-fived Jeremy Lin.
"Ginger is still spicy when it's old."
Xu Xin was sitting behind the bench. He saw the scene clearly. Love had been very careful and kept testing with his back foot. Even so, he still got caught.
"It seems there is no need to reward Kevin Love with Tucker, KG can handle it himself."
Lucas Sr. laughed.
"You are too cunning."
Love stood up, patted his butt and said.
"Soldiers are deceitful. When playing basketball, you also need to read Sun Tzu's Art of War. Our manager told me."
Garnett said proudly.
"Really? Where did you buy this book? Can you give me a copy?"
Le Fu took it seriously and answered seriously.
"Then you should go find our manager after the game."
Garnett laughed.
The members of the two teams were not in a tense posture on the court. First, because the wolf king came home, they, the little wolf cubs, saw their big brother and respected him in their hearts.
Furthermore, the team has been bad all year round, and they are used to losing even if they lose. They don’t have much desire to win. They just play games honestly, beat the clock like a monk every day, and make money.
Most players have this mentality, even Love is the same, otherwise why would he be so lax on the defensive end.
In the next few rounds, after Love fell so hard just now, he was very afraid of Garnett's withdrawal of the stool, and his back-up play was not as decisive as in the opening game.
As the saying goes, if you hesitate, you will lose, and several singles will fail.
However, the Rockets' offense was as stable as ever. After Jeremy Lin made a few attacks in the opening game, he began to consciously look for Garnett.
After several pick-and-rolls, he sent a second pass to Garnett, and the Wolf King seized the opportunity well.
A mid-range jumper, a two-handed dunk inside, and a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.
The fans at the scene kept cheering, and those who didn't know better thought the Rockets had moved their home court to Minnesota.
Relying on the outstanding performance of the Wolf King, the Rockets opened the point difference to double digits in one fell swoop.
By the time Timberwolves head coach Finch couldn't bear it anymore and called a timeout, the score on the field had become 22:11, doubling the lead in half a quarter. No one else could.
Xu Xin looked at the Timberwolves bench. He had been lonely in the past few years.
There is no boss with superstar potential, no striker with explosive physical fitness and both offense and defense, and no guard with accurate shooting. It is simply nothing.
Even Love is the only one with All-Star potential.
Moreover, Love is now considered a data brush!
This is much worse than the Rockets that failed for three years in the post-Harden era.
Although the Rockets do not have a player with the attributes of a big boss, there are several second bosses and champion puzzles. Shen Jing, Xiao Jia, Ethan, Green, Amen, and Bai Mo, these six have their own characteristics.
He didn't know, but he was startled by the comparison. Xu Xin suddenly felt that Stone was unfairly criticized by the fans.
The timeout ends and the game continues.
McHale originally planned to rotate Harden, Garnett and Asik in a normal rotation.
But Garnett refused.
"Coach, I feel that my physical condition is very good, and the fans here also want to see me play, so just let me play a little longer."
Seeing that Garnett had said this, McHale waved his hand and allowed him to continue playing.
Only Asik and Harden were replaced, and Smith and Ariza were replaced.
Why not use Tucker? McHale has his own considerations.
If Tucker is played, Garnett will have to move to the fifth position and face the Timberwolves' power center Pekovic, who is braver than Love.
With Garnett's old arms and legs, his defense against Love is already at its limit. If he faces Pekovic, he will most likely fall apart.
During the playoffs between the Rockets and Trail Blazers, "Uncle Mu" Mutombo was forced to retire after Oden sat on his leg and fractured his leg. Otherwise, he could have continued to shine in the Rockets for at least one more year. Two years.
The Timberwolves had the ball, and Rubio found Pekovic who took the initiative inside.
If Love fails to finish several times in a row, let's try Pekovic. The Timberwolves only use these two offensive starting points.
Due to the poor shooting skills of Rubio and Ridnour, even if the Timberwolves want to use pick-and-roll tactics, they will not be very effective.
The opponent can completely go off the line and not give Rubio and Ridnour a chance to easily break through, then the pick-and-roll will be self-defeating.
Pekovic received the ball and played exactly the same style as Love, pushing hard inside.
The Rockets' third center, Greg Smith, had trouble facing a guy who was half a head taller than him and weighed 30 pounds.
Pekovic hit the ball twice and turned around to get to the basket, dunking hard with both hands.
The home fans immediately responded with warm applause and cheers. They should seize the opportunity to cheer for the home team. After all, such highlight moments are rare.
