BAB 28
In their home debut, the Los Angeles Lakers were hit by the Minnesota Timberwolves, which made coach Delmar Harris very angry, especially Cedric Ceballos, who was beaten by Tom completely blown away!
"In the second quarter, Elden played center, Odin! You played fourth, Kobe hit the small forward to kill Tom Gugliota, and Byron, Nick You two keep playing.
Michael Udin, Kobe, remember to try to steal as many pick-and-rolls as possible, and don't let their guys get the chance to shoot easily, you know? "
Delmar Harris draws the Minnesota Timberwolves' pick-and-roll tactics on the tactical board. He wants Michael Udin and Kobe to know more clearly and intuitively what they need to do on the field.
"Don't worry, coach!, leave everything to us", Michael Udin answered coach Delmar
"Understood! Coach", Kobe also answered.
Delivering their first appearance at home, the answers of the two were impressive.
Early in the second quarter, the Minnesota Timberwolves found their opponent.
"I heard a scout set me up as your template player?
This is absolutely disgusting! "
Kevin Garnett's words came and gave Michael Udin a trashy talk like Kevin.
"I advise you not to make iron-blooded numbers for yourself. Anyone who knows a little bit about penalty kicks doesn't know that you most like to use CIC to finish the game?
Did you know that there is an appropriate term for your cowardly behavior? It's called the rabbit jump shot! "
Two simple sentences by Michael Udin immediately touched Kevin Garnett's heart.
Michael Udin doesn't care who the opponent is, if you spray me I have to spray back.
"Hey! You're from Asia, it seems you don't know how tough I am?" Kevin Garnett replied to Michael Udin.
Before Michael Udin could reply the referee rushed over to them, and signaled both to heed their words and deeds, and gave them a verbal warning.
"Michael Udin, a newbie, totally ruined my impression of shy and quiet asia, how can she talk non stop to anyone?
When he was in Phoenix, this kid was chatting with Robert Horry, and he blew his nose with Kevin Garnett and stared at him before he officially started playing. This kid is very interesting!
I think she enjoys being in the spotlight! "
Magic Johnson looked at Michael Udin, who continued to chat with Kevin Garnett, with a smile.
"I watched this kid when he was on the bench. In my career very few people can sit on the bench and talk nonstop.
I think if he could sit in the commentary booth, he might be better than the two of us. ", Wilt Chamberlain tried his best to find Michael Udin's strength.
After being warned by the referee, the two rookies, Michael Udin and Kevin Garnett, did not dare to take another round and returned to the game.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are still using the tried and tested big kill, and the center is picking-and-rolling.
Kevin Garnett faced Michael Udin's defense in a high position. He had not fully developed his offensive skills in the second year. He was facing a first year rookie who was similar in size to him. There is no absolute certainty.
Cherokee park pushed Elden Campbell, who was standing beside him, to make cover for Kevin Garnett.
"Take! Take! Take!" Michael Udin continued to meditate in his heart.
Before Cherokee Park could stand still, Michael Udin had predicted the direction of Kevin Garnett's disguised lateral shift, and he stepped out of Cherokee Parkes' pick-and-roll range with a big stride!
But Cherokee Parkes unknowingly sent the ball out, and immediately made Michael Udin who desperately snatched it. This made Cherokee Parkes foul on Michael Udin
Cherokee Parkes hurriedly ran to the referee to inquire about the situation. The referee shook his head and explained to him without interruption. Cherokee Parkes could only leave furiously, otherwise just one more technical foul awaited him.
"Good job Odin! That's it!"
Delmar Harris nodded at Michael Udin. Any coach wants a player who can fully implement his tactical intent.
"Not easy to finally defend against a pick-and-roll!
Odin, you are very energetic, keep this posture! ", Elden Campbell comments on Michael Udin's move to detain Cherokee Parkes
Elden Campbell, who has entered the second half of his career, was unable to widen his pick-and-roll defense. Coupled with spider-man-style iron-blood jumpers like Kevin Garnett, Elden Campbell can only see his opponent.
Michael Udin forced his opponent to attack and fouled this time, which was of strategic importance to the game.
"That damn referee always sympathizes with the weak! Damn it!", After his two points missed, Kevin Garnett had to make some gentle comments.
"Really?, without teammate pick-and-roll, you can't create offensive chances on your own.
Honestly, you are a system player, a system player protected by teammates and coaches in the greenhouse. ", Michael Udin sped up the trash talk from his mouth eloquently speaking to KG like a rapper singer.
In two years, Kevin Garnett must evolve into an offensive and defensive superstar. But now this sentence is still very deadly for Kevin Garnett.
"It's fun being young! Full of energy!
Always be positive, take the opportunity actively! Be positive and win! ", Magic Johnson was very satisfied with Michael Udin's appearance just now.
"Big guys need to call pick-and-roll when they hit the basket. I don't know how young people play like this now?", Wilt Chamberlain also commented
Watching Kevin Garnett rely on his teammates pick and roll to attack, the general resented him a bit.
On the defensive side, although Michael Udin's performance can make everyone's eyes shine, such a brilliant performance cannot be included in the technical statistics, this is a role that the technical statistics cannot reflect.
Kevin Garnett is a passionate young man, didn't the Asian guy say that he can only rely on pick and roll attacks?
Then he will come to Michael Udin for one game!
The Minnesota Timberwolves Veterans Keepers are passionate about this kind of link, and they are rushing to open up space for future Wolves.
"Can you look after me without a pick and roll?"
Kevin Garnett showed disdain, but this time Michael Udin ignored it and devoted himself to defence.
Kevin Garnett puts the ball in with his right hand and makes a big move with his right foot, Michael Udin's lateral speed is perfect, and he's stuck with Kevin Garnett's next move!
The breakthrough didn't work, and Kevin Garnett turned around and turned into a counterattack position!
His shoulders swing from left to right in a wrong motion. Michael Udin could not judge the direction of his last lap. Michael Udin i can only cope with all the changes, but the result is that the speed is half a beat slower!
Kevin Garnett completes a complete set of moves and turns to the basket! Very exaggerated reverse jumper!
Michael Udin could only look at the ball and sigh, he could only symbolically extend his hand!
Just as Kevin Garnett was fully focused on completing the projection, a golden light appeared behind him without knowing!
Kobe stepped forward, removed one leg and swung the ball out of Kevin Garnett's head in the final moments!
Help-defense block without warning! Even Michael Udin doesn't know how Kobe came to be in that position!
Watching seventeen-year-old Kobe sprint with the ball, the Minnesota Timberwolves veteran didn't bother to chase him back. ShowTime Kobe begins! One hundred and eighty-six seven degrees of rotation, the back buckle with both hands pulls the ball from under the body!
From now on, Kobe is officially the new favorite of the Los Angeles Lakers home fans!
The crowd screamed in panic, and the Lakers bench was happy too, lamenting how young he was!
"Young man, why are you leaning into my brother's arms?" Michael Udin raised his eyebrows and looked at Kevin Garnett with a disdainful smile.
"What does this ball have to do with you?
If it weren't for Bryant, this goal would have been! ", Kevin Garnett Embarrassed, but he's still stiff.
"Odin was the one who told me to ambush in that position. He has seen your two faults long ago.", After Kobe bowed and left a painless sentence, he slipped away lightly.
Kevin Garnett and Kobe have a thorough tacit understanding, Kobe has an unsmiling and unsmiling character, and Kevin Garnett's character is also very open.
Two brothers at war, spitting bullshit, and both are also very particular about cooperation, Kevin Garnett is in charge of frontal output, and Kobe is in charge of surprise attacks.
Kevin Garnett also wanted to find Kobe and spray him, but Kobe had long since been out of the way.
Kevin Garnett felt Kevin Garnett, who was already dark, had a darker face.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are not chasing records, their greatest desire is to train Kevin Garnett to become an MVP level figure.
It also made it easier for this team to reach a consensus, they had to let Kevin Garnett find his place.
Kevin Garnett fell deeper this time, and Kevin Garnett did not advance but chose to defend himself.
Kevin Garnett was a little crazy, and everyone in the 20,000 Lakers crowd could see it.
Kevin Garnett sideways with all his might, it's an unquestionable offensive offense with a heavy shoulder.
However, Kevin Garnett who was slightly above him did not fall to the ground, he immediately grabbed Garnett's shoulders and elbows. A tingling sensation that felt like being stabbed in the ribs almost darkened his eyes!
