Chapter 94 The Wolf King is here.
In the away game against the SuperSonics, the Lakers won without incident. Wang Hao scored 42 points in daily operations, and Kobe Bryant contributed 26 points and 12 assists.
With a 4-game winning streak at the start, ESPN quickly released a new team strength ranking. The Lakers are ranked 4th in the Western Conference this time, only behind the Mavericks, Spurs, and Suns.
Wang Hao leads the scoring list with an average of 45.5 points per game. Kobe tops the assist list with an average of 14.5 assists per game.
After the second battle with the SuperSonics, the Lakers returned to Staples to face their next opponent.
Timberwolves led by Garnett.
"I heard that the No. 1 pick of the Lakers likes to play as a guest inside? I will give him a unique welcome ceremony." Garnett took the lead before the game started.
Neither the Lakers nor Wang Hao personally reacted to Garnett's remarks. It was as if they didn't hear them.
Before the game started, Kobe and Wang Hao came to the Timberwolves bench to give "friendly greetings" to the families of both sides.
"How does it feel to be assisted by LeBron?" Wang Hao directly exposed the scars of Ricky Davis.
"Kevin, if you assist him, you might as well come to the Lakers to assist me and Corvo." Wang Hao sent in a double kill.
Players from both sides appear.
Lakers starting lineup: Bynum, Millsap, Wang Hao, Tucker, Kobe. Kobe really played point guard.
Timberwolves starting: Mark Blount, Kevin Garnett, Mike James, Ricky Davis, Trenton Hassell.
The game begins.
Garnett won on a jump ball.
The Timberwolves' first attack went to Garnett.
Garnett, who has scored 20+10+5 for several consecutive years, has countless offensive methods.
This was the first time for Wang Hao to see another 210+ big man besides himself playing singles with the ball in front of the frame.
Millsap stared at Garnett as if facing a powerful enemy.
Even Wang Hao thought Garnett was going to rush to the basket and hit Millsap.
As a result, Garnett just... shot.
Voted?
Yes, a big jump shot.
The ball also went in.
This ball cannot be blamed on Millsap's poor defense, 203 vs. 211, and Wang Hao also shot.
Lakers serve.
As the boss of the team, he still has the right to attack first.
Defending Kobe is Mike James, who is 188cm tall.
This seems to be a replica of Garnett beating Millsap?
The ball tipped into Tucker's hands and returned to Kobe's phone.
Kobe stands outside the three-point line in triple threat pose.
"Okay, get ready to grab rebounds."
Wang Hao, who had a "deep father-son relationship" with Kobe, could guess Kobe's next move just by looking at Kobe's gesture.
With Kobe holding the ball as a three-way threat, Mike James didn't dare to guard too much.
Kobe shot directly and beautifully. Wang Hao, who was ready to rush for the rebound in advance, had already begun to trash talk Garnett.
"In?".
"In.".
Wang Hao asked the people around him in disbelief and received a positive answer.
Timberwolves offense.
The ball hit Ricky Davis.
To be fair, Ricky Davis was unlucky and met the "Chosen One". Otherwise, with his performance in the Cavaliers, he could be the core of any weak team. What a pity! His emotional intelligence is too low.
Wang Hao was still very curious about this man who dared to let James assist him. So Wang Hao took the initiative to defend Ricky Davis.
Ricky Davis's style of play is just like the shooting guards of this era that Wang Hao knows. He makes pull-up jumpers, rushes into the paint and violently bombs the basket, or various fancy layups.
Generally speaking, we are not in the era of later generations where many players can reach the three-point line in every game.
The shooting guard's style of play is also deeply influenced by Jordan.
Garnett offered to set up a pick-and-roll for Ricky Davis.
Ricky Davis effortlessly broke through the changing defense of Millsap and made an emergency stop.
Wang Hao chased back, and at this time Garnett was let go.
"No, I was deceived."
Wang Hao, who took off to block Ricky Davis, didn't look at the basket when he saw the opponent, but looked to his side and immediately reacted.
Wang Hao turned around and saw Ricky Davis passing the basketball to Garnett.
Duang!!!
Garnett dunked with one hand, and poor Bynum was used as a backdrop.
"roar!!!".
Garnett clenched his hands into fists and roared at Bynum with his veins exposed, expressing the joy of the goal.
The young Bynum was at a loss when facing Garnett, a famous villain in the league.
"Look at me later and give him a penalty." Of course Wang Hao is not the "mean guy" from Kobe Bryant, he comforted softly.
"I'll give you one back." Wang Hao said to Kobe Bryant who was catching the ball.
Kobe holds the ball, and the entire Lakers team pulls away.
The imagined "Snake Connection" did not work.
Wang Hao also pulled outside the three-point line, but he chose the side guarded by Garnett.
Wang Hao stretched out his hand and pointed toward the sky.
Suddenly accelerated, he threw Trenton Hassell away and rushed inside.
Kobe's pass also flew directly towards the basket.
"The ball is tilted.".
"The ball was missed.".
All the studios broadcasting this game gave this judgment.
But they still don't understand Wang Hao very well.
After squeezing away Ricky Davis who came to interfere, Wang Hao faced Garnett directly.
"Tyrant vs. Wolf King" battle.
Wang Hao jumped high, got the basketball, and directly pushed the ball into the basket through the "Wolf King".
Not to be outdone, the "Wolf King" jumped up directly towards Wang Hao, trying to pin Wang Hao down in the air.
The two bodies were pressed together heavily in the air.
“Bang!!!”.
The scene seems to be still, as the two men are wrestling in the air.
"Let me in."
In the end, Wang Hao took advantage of his long arms and smashed the ball into the basket like a volleyball smash.
"Wang Hao, one of the five best goalscorers this season, has already reserved a seat in advance." Barkley did not hesitate to evaluate this goal as one of the best of the year.
"Wait a minute, Charles, what are they going to do? They seem to be very angry."
Back on the court, Wang Hao and Garnett stumbled to the ground.
Wang Hao, who had stabilized his form, roared directly at Garnett.
Not to be outdone, Garnett stood in front of Wang Hao, the two of them facing each other, chest to chest, glaring at each other.
He was spouting trash talk quickly.
I couldn't hear exactly what was sprayed, the home fans cheered too loudly.
The referee quickly stopped the game.
One was given a technical foul for fear of a fight.
The two men, who each received a technical foul, returned to the bench "satisfied" without any need for their teammates to come and pull them apart.
"It seems that these two people didn't intend to fight in the first place?".
"Is this technical foul too early?".
The referee thought with some annoyance.
"What's wrong with you? Boy, you have to control your emotions." As the team leader, Kobe immediately criticized Wang Hao's "irrational behavior."
"I know, I just responded to him the way he dealt with Bynum." Wang Hao said nonchalantly.
"Kill to pay for life, debt to pay for money, how he treats my teammates, I will do to him.".
Kobe: "…….".
Obviously, Wang Hao still doesn't understand the importance of position and seniority in the NBA.
Regarding Garnett's status, if you yell at Bynum, you can yell at him.
You, Wang Hao, are currently in a bad position. Isn’t it a bit of a joke to yell at Garnett?
As strong as Jordan, wasn't he targeted by the Smiling Assassins in the All-Star Game?
