The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 74



Chapter 74

But thinking about the ending of the confrontation between Jerry Sloan and this Asian, Calipari still dismissed the crazy thoughts in his heart. Xiao Tian really couldn't afford to provoke him, at least not at this stage. Although the opponent is only a rookie, his overall performance this season, plus the news outside the court, he has undoubtedly become the hottest player in the league today. In terms of media attention, Jordan is the only one who can be compared with him.

For a rookie, this is undoubtedly phenomenal. The boss of the Nets actually hopes that someone like Xiao Tian can save their own market. Unfortunately, Kittles can't carry this banner at all. He may grow into a good scorer in the future, but he is only an All-Star. For the Nets, this is not enough at all, because the situation the Nets are currently facing is the same as that of the Clippers in Los Angeles.

An understatement won the Nets, the Grizzlies returned to Vancouver, and after the away game with the Timberwolves, the team can have a holiday, because the All-Star Weekend is coming soon.

The head coaches of this All-Star are Phil Jackson and Tomjanovich. Both of them are the first in their respective divisions. Unlike the Bulls who were selected for the All-Stars, the Rockets have only Hakeem Olajuwon selected this season. Flying Pig and Glider have missed many games, but even so, the Rockets still have the No. 45 record in the Western Conference and the league.

The All-Star Game is approaching, and the Spring Festival is also approaching. In Vancouver's Chinatown, the atmosphere of the Spring Festival has already been surrounded. Xiao Tian took advantage of the absence of the competition, and bought a lot of New Year's goods in Chinatown. This is already a habit of his own.This year's Spring Festival, I don't want to go to Philadelphia anymore, I just want to take all those people over. However, if they don't want to participate, I won't force anything.

Scarlett Johansson still didn't leave, she seemed to be relying on Xiao Tian to stay here. An underage girl followed her every day, which gave Xiao Tian the illusion that she was a single father.

Shopping for New Year's goods is not so new to Xiao Tian, ​​but it is the first time for Scarlett Johansson, and the whole person is very happy.

"This is the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. It is also available in New York, but it is not as strong. Do you also eat dumplings during the Spring Festival?"

When it comes to eating, Scarlett Johansson is in high spirits again.

"Well, yes, the Spring Festival is a family reunion, and we gather together to make dumplings." After the game against the Timberwolves, it will definitely not be until 12 o'clock, so I can also spend a New Year's Eve.

In order to be able to catch up with the end of the New Year's Eve, Xiao Tian was fully prepared for the match against the Timberwolves.

In this game, Marbury and Xiao Tian finally faced each other. The Timberwolves currently have a record of 22-25, ranking eighth in the Western Conference. They have a good chance of hitting the playoffs, but compared to the Grizzlies' 38-12, they are still a notch behind.

The Timberwolves have also gained something this season. The two core members of the team have both been selected as the All-Star substitute. This is also an affirmation for Minnesota basketball. Of course, the Grizzlies also have two people selected, Xiao Tian and Wilkins.

Minnesota is very cold this season, but the atmosphere at their home court is very enthusiastic. Xiao Tian used the "eye of reality" to look at the state of the opposite team. Garnett's state today is ↓, which means that he will be a breakthrough point in this game. In addition to Garnett, Tom Gugliotta's state is also ↙. Both of them have been selected as All-Stars, maybe they are reluctant to leave.

But Garnett, taking advantage of Xiao Tian's warm-up before the game, was still arrogant, "Rookie, you will definitely cry for your mother after the game. Oh, by the way, you don't even know who your mother is."

Garnett's trash talk is swearing, and his trash talk skills are very average. Xiao Tian is not Duncan. Xiao Tian, ​​who was practicing basketball, suddenly slammed the basketball on the backboard and punched Garnett directly in the face.

"Ah." Garnett screamed, and fell to the ground. In sharp contrast to his chattering and arrogant appearance just now, the Timberwolves players gathered around, and the Grizzlies also came over. Tom Gugliotta came to Xiao Tian's side with a very bossy temperament, "Rookie, don't be too arrogant, this is Minnesota."

Garnett didn't get up on the floor for a long time, and the referee had just entered the field at this time. They were confused about what just happened.

With the support of Sam Mitchell and others, Garnett still stood up. His body was fine, but his left face suddenly swelled.

"Try beeping again. I don't care where it is, try again if you have the ability." Xiao Tian completely ignored Tom Gugliotta, who looked extremely embarrassed. Garnett touched his left cheek, but it still hurt. This time he didn't provoke again. The referee saw that Garnett's face was only swollen, so he didn't say anything.Anyway, the game hadn't even started yet. The President was very fond of the Grizzlies and Xiao Tian. Compared to Garnett, Xiao Tian's commercial value surpassed the opponent's five blocks. Isn't this All-Star voting an example? Garnett only had 40 votes, while Xiao Tian had more than 200 million.

Marbury looked at everything with cold eyes. At the moment Garnett was beaten by Xiao Tian, ​​for some reason, he felt a kind of dark feeling in his heart. This guy's mouth is too cheap, and there is no limit.

Philip Sanders was extremely dissatisfied with the referee's inaction. He muttered to the referee for a long time to no avail. Timberwolves owner Glenn Taylor and general manager McHale saw more. This season Garnett has been fined twice because of those unstandard trash talk, but he still doesn't know how to repent.

"Who did you choose for me? Is he just a bully? If he continues like this, I don't mind trading him." Xiao Tian, ​​the butterfly's wings, has affected the growth trajectory of too many people, and Garnett is just one of them.

McHale lowered his head and did not speak. He could only listen to what the boss said, and he had no room to refute.

The Timberwolves fans at the scene were all filled with righteous indignation after seeing Garnett's swollen face, but it was a pity that Xiao Tian beat him before they came in.

At the beginning of the game, Marbury attacked fiercely. Compared with Kittles in the previous game, Marbury was considered a difficult opponent. Compared with Iverson and Kobe, his passing was more threatening, but he passed for the purpose of passing.

Three minutes before the first quarter, Garnett fouled twice early. He obviously did it on purpose, because his face still hurts, and he has no way to play. Fortunately, he can rest tomorrow. If he continues to play, it will be a tragedy.

Garnett went down, and the Timberwolves could only rely on Tom Gugliotta's inside line. This guy's statistics were gorgeous, but like the previous fights, he had little to do with the team at all. In this game, Marbury stood up when Garnett was off the field. He scored 12 points in a single quarter, not letting the Timberwolves fall too far behind. However, Xiao Tian scored 4 points and 4 assists.

The Timberwolves were not far behind in the first quarter, and both sides were substitutes in the second quarter. As a result, Finley went berserk again in the face of the Timberwolves' substitutes, and the Timberwolves' trailing score was suddenly widened.

As soon as the game started, it couldn't be stopped at all. Philip Sanders has never been the kind of head coach who is in danger. The more he is at a critical moment, the more confused his thinking is. In the third quarter, when Marbury led the team to chase points. When he was tight, he replaced Marbury with Sam Mitchell in a timeout. The reason was that Marbury fought too hard and needed a rest.

Marbury threw a towel angrily to vent his dissatisfaction. Marbury was off the field, and the only scoring point for the Timberwolves was gone. With Garnett and Tom Gugliotta both sleepwalking, the point difference between the two sides was widened again.

At this time, Philip Sanders took Marbury up again. He finally realized that this game can only be counted on Marbury. Unfortunately, Marbury's touch was completely disrupted by his timeout. He did not score a few times. The Timberwolves lost the game at home, and the Grizzlies also won their own 39 wins.
