In the end, the Grizzlies beat the Timberwolves 107:91, with a total record of 21 wins and 18 losses.

But Garnett no longer cared about the game.

His heart had already flown out of the arena and flew to the summer, looking for a place where he could kiss the O'Brien Cup.

In this game, Garnett scored 27 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocks in three quarters, but unfortunately he couldn't stand it alone.

Li Lei also played only three quarters, scoring the highest game-high 30 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks.

Gasol, who made a comeback, did not play well, made 3 of 10 shots in the game, scored 7 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block.

But it is understandable, after all, this is his first game in his comeback and his condition has not been adjusted well.

And his opponent is Garnett, the top power forward.

No one ever thought Gasol could be compared with Garnett, and the two were at least 1 to 2 levels apart.

In the subsequent game, Li Lei gave Gasol full trust. With the help of his teammates, Gasol recovered his form bit by bit.

Playing the Bulls, Gasol made 4 of 14 shots, scored 12 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.

Playing against the Suns, Gasol made 10 of 18 shots, scoring 25 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks.

At this moment, the Grizzlies ushered in a highly-watched game.

January 17, 2007.

The Grizzlies faced the challenge of the Philadelphia 76ers at home.

This summer, the 76ers defeated the Lakers, won the Yao Ming battle, and formed Yao Ming Iverson's dual-core team.

There is no doubt that the 76ers who have the "To Love" combination have become one of the favorites to win this season.

At the beginning of the season, "Yao Love Group" was in the running-in stage, with a bad record, with only 5 wins and 5 losses at the beginning, which attracted many people's doubts.

"Not every big man is called O'Neal, and not every defender is called Kobe Iverson. Yao Ming is indeed very strong, but when they come together, they don't even have half of the dominance."

"Iverson does not have Kobe's defensive ability, and he needs the ball too much, so he is only suitable for single cores."

"Yao Ming is not O'Neal, he does not have O'Neal's dominance at all."

"This may be a failed deal!"

...

But after that, the 76ers suddenly rose and achieved a 7-game winning streak, directly hitting all the black fans until they shut up.

Now, the 76ers have 28 wins and 10 losses, ranking first in the Eastern Conference, second only to the Dallas Mavericks in the entire league.

The 76ers showed the momentum of winning the championship.

However, for Chinese fans, this game is of special significance.

Li Lei and Zhu Fangyu's Grizzlies vs. Yao Ming's 76ers team, this is a Chinese derby.

CCTV Sports Channel was promoting this game one week in advance.

CCTV also sent Zhang Weiping to lead the team leader, Yu Jia, Su Qun and Duan Ran as team members, and began to follow Li Lei and Yao Ming one week in advance to shoot documentaries.

On this day, the competition has not yet begun and the ratings have already exploded.

During the warm-up time, the players on both sides greeted in the midfield.

Yao Ming walked over with his arms around Iverson's shoulders. The two looked very close.

Li Lei was very happy. It seemed that Yao Ming was having a happy life in Philadelphia, that was fine.

However, Yao Ming's first words angered Li Lei.

"Stone, tonight, I'm going to level the FedEx Center! You're going to kneel down and sing conquest, call Dad!"

OK, I was happy for you just now.

I treat you as a brother, but you want to treat me as a son?

But this is the friendship between men. In the boys' dormitory, everyone is whose father.

Li Lei sneered: "I hope you can still stand instead of kneeling when you leave the FedEx Center."

Soon, the appearance ceremony was reached.

On the other side of the ocean, domestic fans were already standing in front of the TV and were very excited.

First of all, the 76ers.

"The first one was the No. 51 show in 2003, Kyle Korver."

"The second appearance was the No. 9 pick in 2004, Andre Iguodala."

"The third one to play was the No. 1 pick in 1995, Joe Smith."

"The fourth appearance was the No. 2 pick, All-Star Center, voter, Yao Ming from China!"

"The fifth appearance was the No. 1 pick in 1996, MVP, All-Star Starter, Scoring King, Stealing King, Best Team... Allen Iverson!"

The 76ers' paper lineup can be scary, the three top picks!

Center: Yao Ming.

Power forward: Joe Smith.

Small forward: Iguodala.

Defender: Korver.

Defender: Iverson.

Then, the home team appeared.

The lights just turned on, and the FedEx Center was already crazy, and the cheers were shaking.

"The first one to play was the No. 10 pick in 2014, All-Star Guard, Stealing King, Best Defensive Team, Best Team, and 2005 Champion Member... Eddie Jones!"

"The second appearance was the 23rd pick in 2008, 2000 and 2001 champions Tyron Lu."

"The third one to play was the second-tier 2003 pick and the champion of Dako Milicic in 2004."

"The fourth appearance was the All-Star Power Forward Paul Gasol in 2001."

"The finale was the No. 44 pick in 2003, All-Star Starter, Ticket King, Three-point Champion, Stealing King, Best Defensive Team, Best Lineup, Best Defensive Player, All-Star MVP, Finals MVP, 2005, 2006 Champion Member...Li Lei from China!"

When Li Lei appeared, nearly 20,000 fans in the game were almost crazy, and they were welcomed by their only king.

The Grizzlies' ranking is a big difference, but four of the five starters have won the championship.

In this regard, the 76ers can only envy jealousy and hate!

Center: Milicic.

Power forward: Gasol.

Small forward: Li Lei.

Scoreback: Jones Sr.

Organizational defender: Lao Lu.

The game is about to begin, and players from both sides have reached the logo position.

As the referee held up the basketball high, the players who were originally laughing and chatting became serious in an instant, watching the basketball and the opponent's actions one by one.

On the other side of the ocean, Chinese fans became nervous.

"Hello everyone, the highly anticipated derby battle is about to begin. I am Zhang Weiping (Yu Jia, Su Qun), and I will explain this game to you on the spot. I hope everyone will pay attention to the performance of Shi Tou and Yao Dayao with us."

Didi!

The whistle sounded at the beginning of the game.

Milicic and Yao Ming took off at the same time.

Yao Ming has a height advantage, but Milicic is faster.

In the end, Milicic narrowly defeated Yao Ming and transferred the ball back to his own half.

"Oh roar! Beautiful!"

Just a jump ball, Memphis fans began to cheer.

Tyron Lu received the basketball and was about to advance when a figure flashed past him.

Allen Iverson!

Fortunately, Lao Lu is experienced and hugged the basketball as soon as possible to avoid being robbed.

Iverson started the game and directly ignited the smoke of the battle.
Chapter completed!
