Basketball: Dayao Reopened

"Damn it, bastard, can't you be more accurate at the critical moment?"

"In the next game with the Rockets, you won't miss the same way tonight at a critical moment, will you?"

"I know I shouldn't have hope for you, bastard, Peja made 6 three-pointers tonight, but still can't save you, bastard, you are a bastard!"

Golden Arena One.

100 to 106.

The Kings lost to the Memphis Grizzlies at home by 6 points.

Chris Webber committed an "old problem" at the last moment and missed a key shot. As a result, the Kings could only be forced to foul. The Grizzlies' youth army did not give a chance. Pau Gasol made a free throw and the Grizzlies followed. It won the game smoothly.

In fact, the loss of this game will not affect much. The Kings are still ranked third in the West, currently only behind the Rockets and Spurs, and leading the Timberwolves by 3.5 wins.

And the Grizzlies are in good shape this season, and are currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference.

Being able to rank sixth in the Western Conference of the "Holdings" shows that their strength this season is indeed very good...

There is nothing unacceptable to lose to them.

But when Chris Webb walked through the audience to the home player channel, the "soft guys" kept coming.

Looking at Chris Webber's expression again, there is no difference, it seems that he has become accustomed to all this.

He couldn't help being accustomed to it. After losing to the Rockets again in the playoffs last season and being called "soft" by some fans, he gradually lost the trust and respect of the Sacramento fans.

Especially since the beginning of this season, they will give more love to Pejastojakovic, especially on the night of winning the game, as long as it is at home, it will directly sound the "MVP" to him.

But once they lose, the Kings fans will be like tonight, squirting "soft balls" at Chris Weber.

At the beginning of this season, he was also very sad, but after listening a lot, he gradually adapted.

Hmm... he thought he had adapted!

But at this moment, when he heard the "Rockets", his body couldn't help but stiffen slightly, and then he said to the group of fans who were still cursing: "Listen, I will prove everything!"

It's a pity now that he speaks to the fans, it seems to be no different from farting.

After hearing his words, the fan couldn't help but not stop mocking, but instead asked loudly: "Then what if you lose again? Can you leave Sacramento? We hope you won't delay Peja anymore, he deserves better of!"

"..."

These words directly stung Chris Weber and made him angry instantly, "Yes, if I can't do it, I will apply for a deal, are you satisfied, **** it!"

After saying this, Chris Webber angrily walked into the home player channel.

He said this in anger. He didn't expect that his words would cause such a big movement the next day:

"Chris Webber said: If I don't win the Rockets, I will ask for a trade!"

"Faced with fans' doubts, Chris Webb said: Win or I will go!"

"Many experts collectively look down on the Kings vs. Rockets. Chris Webber's crown is not guaranteed?"

Originally, the Kings and the Rockets were their opponents in the second round of last season's playoffs. Now they meet for the first time in the new season, which has attracted a lot of attention.

Now that Chris Weber said something like this, it naturally caused even greater movement.

Most of the media reported this incident.

In the temporary arena next to Golden One Arena, the Rockets also talked about this when they were training in the team.

"Should we not release the water for this game?"

They are all mixed in this arena, Chris Weber said this, anyway, it is only the regular season, Mutombo thought that otherwise he would send "favors" to Chris Weber.

The NBA is not just about fighting and killing, it is also full of too many human feelings and sophistication, and the water is deep!

It's just that Karl Malone didn't agree: "Why are you letting the water go? Who told him to say this, since he said that, then he has to be responsible for his own words, and we will give him Sacramento!"

As soon as this guy spoke, others also remembered that Karl Malone and the Jazz were eliminated by Chris Webber in the first round of the playoffs last season!

This belongs to "the grudges have not been reported yet!"

Then there is nothing to say.

Fuck him!

Chris Webber didn’t regret what he said, and even when interviewing reporters before the start of the game, he affirmed again: “Yes, I’m willing to be responsible for what I say, if this game with the Rockets I really lose, then I will leave Sacramento!"

This is a complete lock of his own back!

However, what everyone didn’t notice was that in the depths of Chris Webber’s eyes, who had said this, a wave of determination emerged... He knew better than anyone, what it meant when he said this, but No way, he must say so, and then play his own performance in this game!

Because only in this way can he re-consolidate his throne...Leaving is not terrible for him. Compared with leaving, he hates the situation of facing doubts every day. This is for him who is arrogant and arrogant. , Undoubtedly more painful than failure!

Decisive, Chris Weber also showed his determination from the beginning of the game. As the best inside passer in the league, he can even remove "one". He was extremely calm in this game. Under the consumption of the "Meat Shield Group", he actually got 3 assists in the first quarter and did not make even one turnover.

In the second quarter, when Chris Webber discovered that the Rockets' defense was more targeted at his teammates, he also changed his style of play decisively, no longer focusing on passing, but focusing on personal offense.

Breakthrough, CIC and back hit!

Chris Webb had full firepower on this night that was crucial to him, and scored 11 points in the second quarter.

Bill Walton watched his performance and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart: "This talented big man!"

It was also his outstanding performance. At the end of halftime, the Kings led by 6 points.

Chris Webber's statistics are as gorgeous as his play style: 16 points, 5 assists and 5 rebounds!

When halftime was over, the Kings fans on the scene were also conquered by Chris Webb's performance and shouted his name loudly. These cheers made Chris Webb smile after entering the home team player channel.

But he knew he couldn't relax yet!

There is still halftime!

Hold on to halftime!

Maintain the performance of the first half!

He muttered silently in his heart...

Only in the second half, the Rockets changed their strategy and no longer allowed Chris Webber to occupy a high position. The Rockets players who faced him began to increase their physical confrontation with him.

This forced Chris Webber to leave the high position.

The high position is the best support position for big players. Of course, more than ten years later, with the further improvement of the basketball concept, this concept will also be overthrown. At that time, the best support position for big players is actually the top of the arc!

The tactics of moving the ball in a wide range can really force the opponent's defense to widen...

Leaving the high post, Chris Webber can only go to the low post. The pass from the low post is simply to feed the sideline or to the teammates who have successfully cut the air, which greatly reduces Chris Weber's role in combing the offensive rhythm.

In addition, he can barely deal with the "Meat Shield" in the high position, but when it comes to the low position, it is really a sense of torture that suddenly increases...but this season, it is Brad Miller who is partnering with Chris Weber, just like him. They are all supportive insiders, and the most feared is strangling with the "meat shield". Therefore, in the current situation of Chris Weber, he really can't help at all, so he can only stand by and watch.

Chris Webber became a breakthrough for the Rockets.

With the further decline in physical fitness in the fourth quarter, Chris Webb made a lot of mistakes!

The Rockets caught his mistakes and quickly hit a wave of scoring.

At 10 minutes and 17 seconds of the fourth quarter, the Rockets successfully extended the point difference to 10 points. By this time, the victory or defeat was basically divided.

After Chris Webber missed an overhead basket, the Kings fans in the audience suddenly broke out and shouted:

"Soft egg!"

"Soft egg!"

"Soft egg!"

At the beginning, it was just a small piece of fans shouting, and it turned into a big one. At the end of the first half, the group of fans shouting the name of Chris Webber were also shouting "soft guys" at this moment!

If you really want to say it, even their shouts are louder than other fans. The person who loves you the most, once you don’t love you, is often the person who hates you the most. Some fans of the Kings team interpreted this sentence well tonight. talk!

Of course, in their opinion, their reaction is normal, because Chris Weber has done this many times, giving them hope, and disappointing them at the last moment...

This "soft egg" sound lasted for a long time, until the Rockets officially won the game 98-88, without stopping.

Panting, Chris Webb put his hands on his knees, listening to these fans’ "soft eggs", but he was not angry at all. Until this moment, he felt that he had failed the Kings fans once again, but he was just like this. When the "soft egg" sounded, the guilt in his heart disappeared.

He knew that it was time for him to leave Sacramento!

Yes, he intends to fulfill what he said, if this game loses, he will leave, but at the time he wanted to prove himself, but at this moment he was a little bit heartbroken, he was leaving this sad place!

Karl Malone, who had seen Chris Weber upset, listened to the sound of the "soft eggs" in the audience, and was a little stunned. He never thought that Chris Weber's situation was actually like this... He is not the "king of this city". "? When has he been dismissed to such an extent.

He glanced at Chris Webb next to him subconsciously. He didn’t know what to say for a while. He could feel Chris Webb’s feelings, because he could imagine that if Salt Lake City fans treat him like Kings fans, he How sad it will be!

"To be honest, I didn't expect to see such a situation tonight. It was Chris Webber! He took the Kings back to the Western Conference Finals two years ago. It is the most gorgeous team in the entire league. Only the team contributes, and even if he fails to lead the team to the highest honor, he should not (be scolded by the audience as "soft guys"). This is really irritating!"

Karl Malone therefore supported Chris Weber after the game.

Yao Ming also said: "True fans will never abandon their stars at any time. Tonight, the Kings fans are obviously going too far!"

What's interesting is that both Rockets players supported Chris Webb, but none of the Kings players spoke for Chris Webb. They kept silent about what the fans did.

After witnessing what his teammates did, Chris Webber finally made up his mind. In the first sentence of the interview with reporters after the game, he directly said: "I will fulfill my promise and leave Sacramento. Now, I hope I The franchised team can make an offer!"

...

Facts have proved that although Chris Webber was scolded by Sacramento fans as "soft guys", there are really many general managers who want to pursue him in the free market!

As soon as the Rockets left Sacramento and arrived in Minnesota, Yao Ming learned from his agent Bill Duffy that the general managers of no fewer than five teams were making offers to the Kings!

Of course, this is also normal. As far as Yao Ming knows, Chris Webber, who had a minimally invasive operation on his knee injury, had a team that wanted to try to "scratch a prize", not to mention that Chris Weber has no knee yet. Hurt……

I just don't know where this guy will be in the end!

If you go to a team without a big boss, maybe, it's nothing.

In the past few years with the Kings, he has proven that he is not suitable for being a master!

But if you go to a team with an absolute core and become a second master, I'm afraid that team can immediately become the most competitive team in the league!

This is why Chris Webber is so popular!

Minnesota.

Target Center Arena.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Dang!"

"Huh!"

In the empty arena, Kevin Garnett is constantly practicing his mid-range shooting.

Tomorrow he will face Yao Ming and the Rockets again. This day... finally came!

come on!

Let's fight a battle!

This time, there is someone behind me!

Kevin Garnett’s dark face, his eyes are as bright as the eyes of a wolf in the dark, and these bright eyes are full of revenge...

It took about another 40 minutes to practice. When Kevin Garnett hit 20 consecutive mid-range shots, he satisfactorily ended his training and went to the locker room.

"Michael?"

Only when he got to the locker room, he saw an "unexpected" guy-Michael Olowo Kandi, who was transferred from the Clippers this summer!

He is wiping sweat with a towel.

It looks like it has just finished training.

"Have you not left?" Kevin Garnett asked.

"Well, practice for a while in the power room!"

"Huh?" The answer of "Sugar Man" surprised Kevin Garnett. In his impression, this guy is not such a diligent person! Back to the end of training, they were all the first to leave, and today they actually stayed to practice.

It's just that Olowokandi didn't explain anything. He changed his clothes and left, but before leaving the locker room door, he turned his head and said, "Come on tomorrow, man!"

"Hmm!" Kevin Garnett nodded blankly.

Then he murmured in his heart: This guy feels that I care about this game, so he stayed and practiced?

Is that right?

Kevin Garnett felt like he was thinking too much—well, it was just thinking too much.

But at the moment, he really can only think in this direction.

Really a good teammate!

Kevin Garnett was moved by this.

Yao, I have such a good teammate, this time, I will definitely beat you!

"The Timberwolves have been gaining momentum recently, especially after entering December. They have won 5 consecutive victories. So in this afternoon game, I hope that you can play twelve points and focus on this game. This is definitely not the case. An opponent that can be underestimated!"

Tom also attaches great importance to the current Timberwolves. On the afternoon of the game, when tactics were emphasized, he once again "knocked on the blackboard" to remind everyone on the Rockets to deal with this game seriously.

There are not many teams that can make Tom treat like this.

However, there is nothing wrong with paying so much attention...

After all, according to the original future direction, this is the team that reached the Western Conference Finals this year! And if the "aliens" weren't injured, they wouldn't necessarily fall in the Western Conference Finals!

In terms of overall strength alone, the Timberwolves can definitely be ranked in the top five or even the top three of all teams this season.

In the eyes of Yao Ming, this Timberwolves is also one of the few teams this year, and he is jealous. For tomorrow's game, even if Tom doesn't say these things, he will let the other Rockets seriously deal with it!

Speaking of this, the game is still "National Broadcasting", but the reason Stern gave the "National Broadcasting" is purely because the two teams have too many stars. The Rockets will not say much here. One hand barely It can be counted. On the Timberwolves side, Kevin Garnett, "Madman", Kassel, and "Handsome" Szebiak... From a glance, all fans are familiar with them. It's the All-Star Game, can we not arrange a "National Broadcasting"?

It is estimated that Stern did not expect that this Timberwolf could run into such an excellent chemical reaction, and started with a wave of 5 consecutive victories in early December, smoothly rushing to the fourth position in the West, with such a strong momentum. , I met the Rockets, who only lost one game in November, and the attention was definitely overwhelming. This "national live broadcast" is worth the arrangement!

It is also because of the "National Broadcasting" that there are too many reporters and the number of interviews. Originally, both sides were thinking about winning or losing on the court. Well, Yao Ming generally doesn't like to provoke first without guiding public opinion, but Kai Wenganette was purely because there were too many talks in the playoffs last season, and after he was beaten back, he was embarrassed to have more bbs before the game... But there was nothing on either side. The reporters stopped working and started each. Surprisingly, all kinds of problems with traps fired at the players of the two teams!

In the "crazy bombing" of these reporters, the Timberwolves can't resist it first, and there is no way. It is true that there are more players who have no brains.

"Madman" said: "We must have won! Isn't it necessary to say more? No team can stop us now, even if this team is the Rockets, they will lose, we will win! It just happens to be me I heard that they eliminated us in the playoffs last season, OK, this time we will definitely complete our revenge!"

"Sugar Man" said: "We will definitely win, let's wait and see! Yao will soon know how good we are!"

These two people have said so, Kevin Garnett, as the "Wolf King", naturally can't be silent anymore. Although he knows that "too many talks are defeating character", he still said: "We have experienced a big We are not the same anymore. I have a bunch of excellent teammates. I believe that we will definitely complete our revenge!"

The Timberwolves players are so confident that the Rockets will naturally fight back.

Yao Ming said: "The winning streak will indeed give people some confidence, and even make people arrogant. I think this is the situation with the Timberwolves now!"

Francis said: "We easily eliminated them in the playoffs last season. In this game, we will do this again!"

And in the battle of words, the smell of gunpowder in this game has become a strong one. This can be seen from the fact that no one of the two teams ran to greet each other's players before the game... You know Sam Cassell back then He was also a member of the Rockets for two consecutive championships. He spent the first three years of his rookie season with the Rockets.

But in this game, he did not come to say hello to Tom!

Obviously in the locker room, what the Timberwolves said to him, or what attitude they expressed, made him a little scrupulous...Well, the atmosphere of the Timberwolves dressing room can make "aliens" feel scrupulous, after all, he It's not a fuel-efficient lamp. It's a pity that his "thorny head" has to stop when he encounters a more "thorny" "thorny head".

"Madman" and "Sugar Man" two "no brains" are not something he can provoke.

The strong smell of gunpowder before the game, with the time of the game, the players on both sides walked on the field and became more and more intense... No wonder, just the appearance of these goods, walking on the court is the same as walking on the ring, if the referee had not brought one The ball is waiting at the center line. This picture is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "5v5 mixed battle".

The Rockets are not a normal starting lineup today: Karl Malone was put on the starting lineup by Tom and replaced Kevin Cato.

The starting lineup for the Timberwolves is: Sam Cassell at No. 1, "Madman" Sprewell at No. 2, Szebiak at No. 4, Kevin Garnett at No. 4, and No. 5. "Sugar Man" Olowo Kandi...Compared to last season, the Timberwolves' starting lineup this year is obviously much more quality.

"Kevin, I'm going to jump the ball, this guy is my old opponent!"

Kevin Garnett was about to jump up the ball, but was stopped by the "Sugar Man".

Regardless of Kevin Garnett's disagreement, he eagerly ran out as he spoke.

A trace of confusion flashed in Kevin Garnett's eyes. For a moment, he really felt that this guy had a bad head: Do you still fight with me for jumping the ball?

Damn it, we finally meet again!

"Sugar Man", no matter what Kevin Garnett is thinking, he now has only Yao name left in his mind! Obviously, he still thinks that he can beat Yao Ming, even if he has been cleaned up by Yao Ming 4 times, but he still thinks he can beat Yao Ming. In his opinion, it is not his strength to be cleaned up 4 times before. No, that's all the reasons why his teammates can't do it, what Andrea Miller, what Maggette, what stinky fish and shrimp are all this! Looking at Lao Tzu's current teammates, can the newcomer of China Huaxia still be my opponent?

However, he is so energetic and energetic. After the referee blows the whistle, Yao Ming jumps to the ball first... Yao Ming, who has better physical coordination than the original, has not gained as much weight as he did in the previous life. Jumping ball is no longer his weakness, unless he encounters the "jump man" with a really abnormal bounce response, otherwise, he will definitely not lose!

Not to mention, he is still facing the "sugar man" now, so it is even easier.

With just a light hook, he snatched the ball.

He has touched the ball, and the "Sugar Man" has just jumped up, slowing by more than half a beat.

Kevin Garnett: That's it?

The Rockets got the first strike amid the boos...

Francis held the ball for more than half of the game, and "Madman" came up in the first place.

Sprewell is definitely a different kind of scoring hand. His scoring ability is not bad. If his peak period is not seven or eight years ago, but in the league a year later, averaging 25 points per game is definitely not a problem.

At the same time, he is keen on defense. When he was in the New York team, he was not only the "sixth man", but also the team's firepower supplement, and the main defensive end of the defense against the opponent's arrow every night.

He is a guy who can really give performance on both offense and defense.

If it is not for character reasons, this guy's becoming a "super giant" is definitely not a problem!

And now, he brought this attitude to the Timberwolves.

"Boy, come, let me see how you easily beat us!" Sprewell cursed.

In his provocation, Francis also accelerated his dribbling speed, trying to use his physical fitness to teach the 34-year-old "madman" a lesson, but Sprewell deserved the title of "defensive gate", in Francis's various In the breakthrough tendency, he didn't mess up the square inch, but entangled Francis very calmly. For several seconds, "Spider-Man" could not complete the breakthrough.

Karl Malone and Yao Ming glanced at each other at this time, and then ran directly towards the two high positions.

"High double screen" tactics!

It was the cover given by Karl Malone and Yao Ming.

Let alone a "madman", even Artest would have to be stopped.

No, Francis successfully completed the breakthrough.

"Dang!"

However, the ball did not score ~www.novelmt.com~ Kevin Garnett's timely supplementary defense, so that Francis's layup finally popped out of the box regrettably.

Because Karl Malone and Yao Ming both screened out, "Sugar Man" so smoothly protected the rebound.

The ball is given to the "alien".

He dribbled the ball slowly past half-court. Facing Francis, he kept communicating with his teammates. It seemed that he needed to play a match, but he dribbled the ball into the three-point line so slowly, and never watched Francis. Looking at the basket, he suddenly jumped up and shot the mid-range jumper without hesitation.

"Huh!"

Goal in!

A typical "alien" style goal.

Cassell is the killer who walks slowly like an old man in the garden when dribbling, but can suddenly give a "fatal blow".

The Timberwolves scored the first goal of the game.

Kevin Garnett said to Yao Ming: "This time, there are people behind me too!"
