Looking back, Jeremy Lin once again cooperated with Garnett in a pick-and-roll.
This time, Garnett mentioned the top of the arc and took a fake shot. He turned around and threw Love behind him in a fake screen.
Jeremy Lin understood what he was doing and made a lob pass to Garnett who was running towards the basket. The latter jumped up, caught the ball in the air and dunked it with both hands.
The fans at the scene stood up and cheered excitedly. Harden led the Rockets bench to eject and start, waving towels vigorously.
Who would have thought that 37-year-old Garnett could still dunk in an alley-oop?
Some old fans couldn't help but shed tears. The Wolf King's dunk was quite similar to the king's style at the target center in those years, as if time had never slipped away, as if the Wolf King had never left.
After Garnett completed the alley-oop dunk, he was very excited. He hammered his chest and shouted to the audience.
The fans were very generous and interacted with him passionately. One brother even took off his shirt and danced topless.
How could the photographer miss such a wonderful scene? The camera quickly followed and helped him get on the big screen, which made the fans at the scene burst into laughter.
The Timberwolves attacked, and Rubio found Pekovic again. The latter continued to eat Smith raw, pushed him near the basket, turned around and stuck Smith behind him again, jumped on the spot, and dunked with two hands again.
24:15.
The fans at the scene were very busy, applauding and cheering when both sides scored, which made Xu Xin laugh and cry off the court. This situation is very rare in the American NBA.
Xu Xin was very emotional, is this the personal charm of the Wolf King? Not only is he deeply loved by the fans, but even the Timberwolves players seem to accept the fact that their own fans are cheering for Garnett.
This is amazing.
Jeremy Lin held the ball to organize the offense, and once again made eye contact with Garnett, who mentioned a high screen.
This time it was real. Rubio bumped into Garnett's arms, but Garnett stood upright without any movement. This was a good pick and roll, no foul.
Jeremy Lin faced Love directly, and Garnett quickly went around to the other side after being separated.
Jeremy Lin calculated Garnett's steps while walking, and with a slight throw, it just passed Love's fingertips. Behind him, the Wolf King jumped up and waited for the ball to arrive in the air, hovering for half a second.
Then he caught the ball with one hand and made another alley-oop smash.
The fans in the stands stood up and cheered within a minute of sitting down.
The same is true for the Rockets bench. Harden, Beverley and others are "crazy". As new generation players, when have they ever seen such a fierce Garnett? He is no worse than the popular Griffin. !
Garnett made two consecutive alley-oops, which was rare even at his peak.
The photographer once again focused on the older brother who had just danced. As soon as the older brother put on his clothes, he saw himself on the big screen again. Without saying a word, he appeared shirtless again and danced again.
"Sir, your behavior is not allowed. If it happens again, we will have to ask you to leave the stadium."
Two security guards came over and said to the elder brother.
The fans next to him heard it clearly and immediately became unhappy. There was a burst of boos at the scene, and some fans stood up to help the big brother. The two security guards asked for trouble and left.
Seeing the two men walking away in despair, the fans immediately burst into cheers of victory.
The sound in the stands made the Timberwolves players on the field a little confused as to what was going on.
When our side attacks, the fans boo, but when the Rockets attack, they start cheering? Let's just say, the booing was a little too quick tonight.
The Timberwolves players couldn't help but feel a little depressed. On the other hand, Garnett became more and more courageous as he fought.
Two alley-oop dunks made him high-spirited.
In this attack, Garnett took the initiative and Jeremy Lin immediately handed over the ball.
After Garnett caught the ball, he used his back to sense Love's defensive position and tentatively moved back to find a confrontation.
"The opportunity has come."
Love secretly thought, the moment Garnett exerted his force backwards, he immediately retreated. Just now, he was very embarrassed by Garnett's move to withdraw his stool. This time, he must regain his position and let the old Wolf King also Get up close and personal with the floor.
It's a pity that the devil is as good as the devil. Garnett didn't use all his strength in this confrontation. After the tentative confrontation came up empty, he already had some calculations in his mind.
Collect your core, turn around, step up and down and hit the board to easily put the ball into the basket.
28:15.
After the ball was scored, he did not forget to look at Love and showed a bright smile:
"You still need to practice removing the stool!"
"How did you know?"
Le Fu was a little frustrated and asked in confusion.
"Playing basketball depends not only on talent, but also on experience and brains."
Garnett said to the ground, and then ran to the backcourt without turning his head, leaving Love alone in a mess.
"Serve."
Love didn't react until Rubio reminded him.
Hong Honghuo was in a daze. He walked to the bottom line and the ball was in the hands of the referee. However, at the moment of serving, he forgot whether to step his left foot first, right foot first, or serve first.
As a result, he reached the line early before serving, and even turned smoothly.
Although the referee has always turned a blind eye to serving and dribbling in the backcourt, there is no way he can't ignore such an obvious violation.
"Beep!"
Love made a mistake and the Rockets got the ball.
The fans held their foreheads and sighed.
"Is this Love possessed by McGee tonight?"
One fan said helplessly
"McGee is probably better than this. I think it's Balotelli."
Another fan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
On the field, taking advantage of the dead ball, McHale made substitution adjustments, replacing the three starters who were still on the field and replacing them with Tucker, Beverley and Livingston.
Garnett, Jeremy Lin and Butler have already played ten minutes in the first quarter. Especially Garnett, let alone back-to-back, there was no game the day before. Under normal circumstances, he only played about 6 minutes in the first quarter. time.
As for Jeremy Lin and Butler, they usually have to play the entire first quarter, but this morning Xu Xin had an in-depth exchange with him about player rotation arrangements.
Xu Xin feels that appropriately reducing the continuous fighting time of Jeremy Lin, Harden, and Butler will help maintain their condition and reduce the risk of injuries.
In order to convince McHale, Xu Xin prepared a lot of things and even took out statistics to compare the efficiency of the three players before and after they played for 8 minutes in a row. Only then did the latter realize that the difference was so big.
The two immediately reached a consensus to reduce the continuous playing time of the three, and tonight McHale took action and did not let Jeremy Lin and Butler play the entire first quarter.
Xu Xin nodded secretly behind the bench. McHale was not a stubborn person and could still listen to his suggestions.
