The two entered the arena, and Zhang Zhiyuan immediately threw the shackles on Garnett.
Then he felt a lightness.
Obviously, Garnett's strength was too strong, and the 5% attribute bonus allowed him to notice changes in his own state.
It was Zhang Zhiyuan who struck first, and his breakthrough was easily followed by Garnett.
Although Garnett is tall and long and plays power forward, his lateral speed is faster than most small forwards.
The breakthrough was fruitless, and Zhang Zhiyuan could only take off and shoot from mid-range.
However, Garnett is too tall. His arms are long and he can bounce well.
As a result, Zhang Zhiyuan was blocked.
Zhang Zhiyuan felt very uncomfortable and felt that he could not find a chance to take action.
Is this the sense of oppression that the best defensive player gives people?
Zhang Zhiyuan had a headache.
"You lost to such a thing?"
Off the court, Ricky Davis is still in Zach Craig's heart.
Craig was having a hard time talking, and what made him even more uncomfortable was that if Zhang Zhiyuan performed well next, he would be unhappy. But if Zhang Zhiyuan performed poorly, it would make him look like a waste.
On the court, Garnett attacked, and with his height and long arms, he made a jump shot and scored.
Originally, Zhang Zhiyuan was still hesitating whether to anger Garnett, but now he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
If you don't absorb a little more of Garnett's attributes, he really can't be beaten.
Garnett continued to make jump shots and scored again.
"As a power forward, can you stop shooting jumpers like a bitch? Low post singles are the dignity and belief of the inside."
Zhang Zhiyuan said mockingly.
What he is afraid of is Garnett's jump shot, but he is not afraid of Garnett's low post shot, because he is much shorter than Garnett, but his strength is no worse than Garnett.
"oh......."
"Kevin, let him see your manly side."
Zhang Zhiyuan shouted so loudly that the Timberwolves players off the court started to boo.
Garnett glared at Zhang Zhiyuan fiercely. He never expected that this rookie would provoke him first before he started talking trash. It was simply treasonous.
Then, Garnett tried to go deep into the basket.
However, he soon realized that Zhang Zhiyuan was quite powerful.
Cunning guy.
Garnett cursed in his mind, then turned around and shot a jumper, but the ball missed.
"Congratulations, you missed a tough shot."
Zhang Zhiyuan said.
"Zarp, it's 2-0 now. If you only know a few 'blowjobs', don't even think about joining the Timberwolves. There is a job suitable for you at Westin Street (a gay gathering place)."
Garnett retorted.
Hahaha......
Everyone in the audience laughed. This kind of obscene and vulgar trash talk is what men love most.
Zhang Zhiyuan attacked, he pretended to break through, and then suddenly retreated and threw a long two-pointer.
The original owner's low-post skills were rubbish, and his breakthrough skills were mediocre. His slightly impressive skills were only two points from long distance.
Garnett was caught off guard and failed to pounce in time, and the ball went in.
"You are easier to deceive than my three-year-old nephew."
Zhang Zhiyuan continued to taunt, and his hard work paid off. This time Garnett finally increased his hatred value by 60 points.
However, you still need 40 more points to add attributes.
Moreover, even if they absorb 1% more, the gap in strength between the two is still huge.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhiyuan doesn't expect to defeat Garnett. He only needs to show his strength in a one-on-one match.
But life is always full of magic. Zhang Zhiyuan continued his good luck and scored another goal.
And this scene happened to be seen by Wittman, who had just entered.
What is going on?
Wittman asked Davis and became even more confused. The manager didn't tell him that someone was coming for a tryout.
However, he quickly reacted and guessed Zhang Zhiyuan's intention.
Because this kind of self-recommendation has happened more than once in the NBA, many undrafted players feel that they can do it but just need a chance.
But Wittman knew that in fact these people were really bad.
However, just seeing Zhang Zhiyuan score on Garnett's head made him a little interested.
Zhang Zhiyuan attacked again and made a jump shot during the confrontation and hit it.
3 to 2, he actually surpassed the score, leaving others stunned.
Although 3 to 2 doesn't mean much, this is after all a duel between the undrafted draft and the mvp.
In everyone's view of the world, the undrafted player in this matchup can only score one or two goals, so there is no reason to score three goals in a row.
Some people are surprised, and some people who don't understand the situation are still taking the opportunity to make fun of Garnett.
The Timberwolves' lineup has changed a lot in recent years, and almost all the players from the 2004-05 season are gone.
There is only one Troy Hudson left. He still remembers how everyone laughed and teased Garnett in the same way, and then Garnett became angry and punched the "ignorant" rookie Richter in the face.
So, Hudson didn't laugh like everyone else, he kept his laughter in his heart.
"How about I put some water on it? In front of so many of your younger brothers, I don't want to embarrass you too much."
After scoring three goals in a row, Zhang Zhiyuan was a little carried away.
Garnett is not his favorite player, so although he recognized Garnett's strength, he never had the slightest thought of respecting Garnett.
"Son of a bitch, I'm going to get you out of Minnesota in this mess."
Garnett used real fire and also increased the hatred value.
Garnett became serious and beat Zhang Zhiyuan again.
Garnett then attacked, but unfortunately, whether because of bad luck or anger that disrupted the rhythm, he failed to score again.
No matter how awesome a star is, there are times when his performance is abnormal, and there are even many such abnormalities. A highlight reel is enough to give many pseudo-fans the illusion that they can play in the NBA.
Garnett's condition today was relatively average. Fortunately, after guarding Zhang Zhiyuan, he missed another mid-range shot.
On the other hand, Zhang Zhiyuan played more and more excitedly because of Wittman's arrival.
He even made a post-up shot in the low post, which he was not good at, and scored a magical goal.
This made Wittman's eyes light up, and he felt that Zhang Zhiyuan seemed pretty good.
Moreover, the team needs a small forward right now. Otherwise, there is only one Ricky Davis who can make a cameo at the small forward position. The lineup problem is too big, and the bad performance cannot be so obvious.
What's more, he needs to win a few more games now, otherwise he will not be able to keep his coaching position.
4 to 2.
To be honest, this score is actually not big.
But Garnett still really lost face.
Zhang Zhiyuan attacked again, and Garnett used a little trick and elbowed Zhang Zhiyuan on the back.
In pain, Zhang Zhiyuan made a mistake and lost the ball, and Garnett completed the steal.
How could Zhang Zhiyuan be willing to suffer such a loss? Facing Garnett's jumper, he rushed forward regardless and slapped Garnett in the face.
"You bastard, you're looking for death."
Garnett punched Zhang Zhiyuan directly.
In his opinion, it is natural for him, the MVP, to bully the undrafted draft picks. The undrafted draft picks should kneel down and praise him for looking so handsome in bullying the weak. How can there be any reason to resist?
Zhang Zhiyuan would not tolerate him. He ducked sideways, then jumped on Garnett and threw him to the ground.
Everything happened too fast and suddenly, beyond everyone's imagination.
By the time they reacted, Zhang Zhiyuan had already pinned Garnett to the ground.
If Zhang Zhiyuan hadn't wanted to make the matter a big deal, he would have had the opportunity to punch Garnett a few times.
Soon, Davis and others rushed over and pulled Zhang Zhiyuan away. At the same time, Hudson held Garnett to prevent him from chasing Zhang Zhiyuan.
This is not because Hudson is looking towards Zhang Zhiyuan, but because he is an old teammate of Garnett and knows that Garnett wants someone to do this at this time.
In this way, Garnett can shout angrily and show toughness, but he can also avoid punishment and lawsuit by not taking action.
Sure enough, Garnett shouted that he wanted to kill Zhang Zhiyuan, ruthlessly.
However, in Zhang Zhiyuan's view, Garnett is like a dog.
It is very aggressive when being pulled by its master, but once the master puts down the rope, it immediately becomes obedient.
"Oh, buy it, I'm so scared."
Zhang Zhiyuan said in a bitchy manner, but it was the greatest humiliation to Garnett.
Garnett, who originally just wanted to scare Zhang Zhiyuan, now really couldn't control himself and wanted to fight. Unfortunately, Hudson didn't understand and still hugged him.
"You idiot, you don't want to get into the Timberwolves again, and you don't even want to get into the NBA again."
Garnett cursed angrily.
"Keep praying. After all, as long as I enter the NBA, your good days will come to an end."
Zhang Zhiyuan.
Wittman watched the farce from the side and couldn't help but slap his forehead. Originally, he planned to give Zhang Zhiyuan a short-term contract to put out the fire.
There's no need to think about it now, it's definitely out of the question. The team can't offend Garnett for an undrafted player.
However, he didn't have many regrets.
After all, Zhang Zhiyuan is just an undrafted player. Occasionally shooting a few goals over Garnett's head is nothing.
I think Richter, the second-round pick at that time, occasionally suppressed Garnett once in training, but that was his only highlight. After that, he was not even qualified to play in the NBA.
.......
Zhang Zhiyuan left the target center and returned to the hotel.
Although the fight just now was fun, it also missed the best opportunity to enter the NBA.
Seeing that the trade deadline is getting closer and closer, his hope of entering the NBA is getting slimmer.
If you miss this season, you will have to wait for the summer league.
As an impatient person, it is undoubtedly a torture to have Zhang Zhiyuan wait for so long.
Fortunately, a few days later he received a call from Kupchak and asked him to try out.
Zhang Zhiyuan forgot that Lakers small forward Radmanovic was injured while skiing after the All-Star break, so the Lakers also need small forwards now.
And his conflict with Garnett at the target center also reached Kupchak's ears through some means.
After learning that an undrafted player could score consecutive points on Garnett, Kupchak thought he could take the time to investigate.
He has reached the point where he is in urgent need of medical treatment. The team is struggling to make the playoffs and the situation is critical.
Kobe couldn't stand fishing for two consecutive seasons and had asked Kupchak more than once to strengthen the team.
But the regular season is coming to an end, and most teams will not make big trades at this time. Where can Kupchak find help for Kobe?
Let’s try this one.
Kupchak, with the mentality of scratching a lottery ticket, extended an invitation to Zhang Zhiyuan.
"Damn it, why aren't teams like the Suns, Mavericks, Rockets, etc. looking for me?"
Once again given the opportunity to try out, Zhang Zhiyuan acted a little pretentiously.
Although the Lakers are located in Los Angeles, he doesn't really like being teammates with Kobe. What's more, the Lakers are still a bad team and there is no way to win a championship and get some honor points.
The words are pretentious, but the action is to pick up the bag and hit the road immediately.
Just kidding, it would be great if he could enter the NBA. He is not qualified to choose a team now, and he knows this well.
Take your time, sooner or later you will have a champion, you will have a status, you will have a beautiful woman.
Zhang Zhiyuan comforted himself, looked forward to the future, and boarded a plane to Los Angeles.
