Chapter 463: Bloodthirsty Old Wolf

The blood is boiling. It is not easy to make a 37-year-old veteran appear. Most players of this age have no desires and just spend their wages to die. But Garnett is different. Although he is 37 years old, he still has a desire for victory and even the championship. Like Anjie, he is a bad boy and a bloodthirsty beast. When he saw Anjie doing things wrong on his territory, the "Wolf King" finally couldn't sit still like this anymore.

However, due to his age, Doug Rivers only allowed Garnett to play for more than twenty minutes in each game. Therefore, Garnett did not play for the rest of the first quarter. Not long after Anger completed the block, he was replaced by Meyers Leonard.

Celtics rookie center Jared Salinger played unexpectedly well, but this inside line, which is slightly rough, still cannot be compared with the firepower of Batum and Contney Lee.

As expected, the Celtics were passive after the first quarter. 25 to 18, the Trail Blazers led the league's oldest giant team by 7 points away. This kind of thing was unimaginable two or three years ago.

"Easy guy, easy." After the game, Nicholas Batum said while slapped Angel. They did not underestimate the enemy, but they could probably guess that there should be no major accidents in the next three quarters. After all, a team that has entered the aging stage can't be defeated just by saying something. Spurs? The Spurs are an "exception" from top to bottom.

"Dong!" Doug Rivers tapped the tactical board hard, and he was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Celtics' substitute lineup just now. But there was no way, the gap had been widened, and all Rivers could do was look forward. He immediately began to arrange the tactics for the second quarter, but to Garnett a little disappointed, he did not seem to play a very important role in the offense.

"Coach, have you arranged a few more tactics for me?"

Hearing this voice, Rivers raised his head. He thought Garnett was smiling at this time, but he was surprised. Garnett's expression was very serious when he said this!

"You have your offensive time kg, but you also know that the most difficult part of the Trail Blazers to be captured is the inside! I don't allow you to fight head-on with Anjie. In fact, I don't allow anyone to fight head-on with him. We don't need singles, we need to pass the ball, pick-and-roll, and cooperation!" Rivers has been emphasizing the importance of tactics. The only thing that the Celtics are better than the Trail Blazers now is tactical cultivation.

"I know, I won't be stupid enough to fight An head-on. What I mean is that adding a few tactics that will allow me to get a mobile phone." Garnett was unyielding. To put it bluntly, he just thought that his attack proportion was too low.

Rivers stared at Garnett for a few seconds, and all the players stared at him, the coach with a hoarse voice. Then, Rivers began to focus on drawing tactics. Garnett smiled with satisfaction. As a hero of the Celtics' championship, Rivers could not refuse the request of being a star.

It is not difficult to add several tactics to Garnett, after all, this is how the Celtics won the championship at the time. Rivers was very easy to arrange, and Garnett would not be unfamiliar with tactics. The only question now is whether kg can shoulder such a huge offensive burden.

"Beep~~~" the timer beeps and the rest time officially ended. The cheerleader girl left the court, and the referee urged the players to quickly follow the rules to stand.

"Man, are you interested in being the same person back then?" Before going on stage, Garnett touched Pierce with an excited look on his face. Pierce did not respond because he didn't know if this guy was joking or... or... or serious!?

"Kevin~~~Garnett!" However, shortly after the second quarter, DJ shouted Garnett's name loudly. Since Anger came off late in the first quarter, he still did not play at the beginning of the second quarter. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Garnett shook away the inexperienced Meyers Leonard with his footsteps in the inside and then dunked his hands.

The "Wolf King" hanging above the basket is still domineering, and his grinning expression is still terrifying. The Td North Shore Garden Arena was in full swing in an instant, and they finally saw the revival of the top predator.

"Stamp him, Meyers, stop him!" He shouted on the bench not Ricard or Divac, but Angel Leonard, who was born as a defender. If he hadn't been in school, he might have played as a defender for the rest of his life.

This experience made Leonard's skills relatively comprehensive, but his skills were not superb. An Jie shouted loudly below, hoping that this guy could pay attention to his loopholes.

However, Garnett scored another goal in the Celtics' next round offense.

This was a pick-and-roll cooperation between Garnett and Pierce. Pierce, who used the pick-and-roll, bypassed Iguodala, did not rush to the basket, but instead carried Iguodala behind him and seized space for himself to layups.

I have to admit that Pierce's move is indeed very thief. Although the physical confrontation is a little intense, it also allows Pierce, who is unhappy, to continue to threaten the basket.

Seeing that Pierce was about to take action successfully, Meyers Leonard resolutely left Garnett and chased Iguodala and Pierce.

Pierce started three steps, and Leonard also prepared to jump and complete the chase. But before Pierce started three steps, he glanced back secretly. Rookies like Leonard naturally didn't see Pierce's eyes, but Garnett understood Pierce's meaning.

He quickly ran to the 45° angle on the left wing, and at the same time, Pierce, Iguodala and Meyers Leonard jumped one after another. Just when the tall Leonard was about to touch the basketball in Pierce's hand, Pierce used a pass behind the back to deliver the ball accurately to Garnett with a pass from his head.

Garnett was not afraid of J.J. Hickson's backup defense. Even if Hickson rushed towards him with great momentum, Garnett's heartbeat did not beat 65 times per minute.

The guy made a steadily shot, and the shooting was very low, but the ball was raised very high. Hickson jumped hard, but he could only watch the basketball move towards the basket while rubbing his fingertips.

The basketball rotated three or four times on the inside of the basket, and finally fell into the net. Meyers Leonard shook his head helplessly. It was also a rookie who could not play these two erotic guys.

"Pearce and kg's cooperation is very exciting. The Celtics frequently scored in the inside in the second quarter. I think, should Coach Ricard replace An?" With Mike Bryn's commentary, ESPN's photographer also pointed the camera at the Trail Blazers' bench again. However, like just now, Ricard and Divac were still sitting steadily, with no expression on their faces.

Of course these two guys know that Garnett seems to be a little active during this period, but judging from his performance in recent games and his performance in the first quarter of this game, Garnett must be just a flash in the pan.

To put it bluntly, Ricard and Divac did not regard the elderly Garnett as a threat.

But when Garnett scored with a hook-and-scout in Leonard's defense for the third time, Ricard couldn't help frowning. Leonard, who had a tall goal just now, actually defended quite well, but Garnett still hit the hook with a huge interference. If Garnett's first two goals were because Leonard's defense was not good, then this goal was entirely because Garnett had the ability to score!

Ricard and Divac looked at each other. What is the chance of a 37-year-old veteran making a big fuss? It's very low. But considering that his fierce expression was the king of Minnesota and the most promising high school genius back then. Ricard and Divac decided not to relax with this guy!

"An, get ready to play!" With Ricard's order, Anjie immediately took off his training suit and walked to the technical stage to prepare to play.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of a dead ball, Anjie jumped twice, slapped Leonard and then stepped to his own position. Now it was the time for the Trail Blazers to defend, and Garnett naturally "stuck" with Anjie as soon as he got up.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, it's not good to let an old man wait for you for so long." As soon as Anjie came up, Garnett opened his own chat. Compared to Leonard, Anjie was more interesting.

"That's kg, that's it." Anjie didn't talk nonsense with Garnett. He came on the field just to strangle Garnett.

"Hmph." Garnett sneered, not caring about Angel's words at all. Seeing that he was unable to break through Lillard's defense for a long time, Jason Terry moved the basketball to the inside and prepared to let Garnett deal with it.

"Here!" Anjie didn't dare to underestimate Garnett. This guy has always been one of the most successful power forwards in this league.

Garnett also knew that he could not get An Jie's back, so he raised the ball high and turned around on the face frame skillfully with his feet. Then he raised his waist again, threatened three times, looking for the gap to break through.

"Left!" Seeing Garnett suddenly activated, Anjie moved over without any hesitation. For a top defender like Anjie, Garnett's three threats are not confusing at all.

An Jie was secretly proud of himself judging Garnett's breakthrough direction, but the next second, he collided with a brightly black guy.

"Brendan Bass, beautiful pick-and-roll! Anger never thought that he would be difficult to get by the way he was best at!"

Anjie knew something was wrong, so he immediately reached out to pull Garnett's jersey. But Bass' pick-and-roll was too tough. Although this "pocket insider" was only over 2 meters tall, his style of play was very tough.

After Garnett broke through Anjie, he immediately walked to the basket. Aldridge naturally completed the transfer with Anjie, and he was going to chase the "Wolf King" who had successfully broken through.

Just as Garnett started three steps, he held Aldridge with one hand and raised the ball with the other! Then, Garnett's legs force rushed into the air. Aldridge also jumped up, but because he was stolen by Garnett, Aldridge could not get close to Garnett in the air.

So Garnett barely dunked the ball into the basket through Aldridge's arm! Looking at Garnett's career dunks, they did not rely on their strength and impact like Griffin, but more on their own long arms. If Garnett's arm was a few centimeters shorter just now, the ball would probably be dunked on the basket!

"Hoho! Garnett actually dunked on Aldridge's head. This is really a dunk that travels through time and space!" Mike Brin couldn't believe that Garnett, who was almost 37 years old, could make such a move.

"Woo!" After landing, Garnett tightened the muscles on his arms and gritted his teeth! Divac still remembered this expression. After Garnett successfully blocked himself, he showed such an expression!

Afterwards, Garnett turned around and pointed at Anjie. This action was like a street gangster saying to you: "I remember you."

It is precisely because of this dunk that the Celtics officially tied the score.
