Chapter 137 Defeat the wolf king at the beginning, tonight is not destined to be easy
In the long river of NBA history, when it comes to the historical status of power forwards,
Kevin Garnett is definitely in the top five.
In the active league, Garnett is second only to Tim Duncan, who has four crowns, 2 MVPs and 3 FMVPs, in the power forward position, and is temporarily ahead of Dirk Nowitzki.
This year's Kevin Garnett is 34 years old and has played 15 completed seasons in the league.
This season is also the 16th season of Kevin Garnett's career.
As a veteran player in the league and a representative of the hardliners, Garnett talked about the attitude of the new champion Qin Chong in front of the media,
Obviously still a little arrogant and relying on the old to sell the old.
Although Garnett was shocked by Qin Chong's crazy performance in the four games of the new season,
But in front of media reporters, he still has to show the confidence and calmness of a big-name star.
Soon, amidst the cheers all over the stadium,
The game officially begins.
The starting players of the two teams all took to the court.
The starting five for the New Jersey Nets are:
Point Guard (PG): Steve Nash,
Shooting guard (SG): Courtney Lee,
Small Forward (SF): Bill Walton,
Power Forward (PF): UAE,
Center (C): Qin Chong.
The starting five for the Boston Celtics are:
Point Guard (PG): Rajon Rondo,
Shooting Guard (SG): Ray Allen,
Small Forward (SF): Paul Pierce,
Power Forward (PF): Kevin Garnett,
Center (C): Jermaine O'Neal.
Jermaine O'Neal and Qin Chong stepped onto the middle circle, ready to jump the ball.
Seeing Qin Chong, who was about the same height as him, but two sizes bigger than him, O'Neill couldn't help shrinking his neck.
As a representative figure of the 96 golden generation, Xiao Ao, who was in the Blazers in the past, also played at the level of an All-Star.
However, due to the influence of injuries and age, Xiao Ao is no longer at his peak.
This season, because Perkins was traded to the Thunder, the veteran was signed with a basic salary and let him start with Garnett.
But Jermaine O, who averaged only 6.2 points and 5.4 rebounds per game, is no longer worthy of the starting center of the championship team.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing Qin Chong jumping up the ball, his body was as light as a swallow, and he easily lifted the basketball over his head.
Xiao Ao's eyes were full of envy, but also feeling helpless.
In Qin Chong's body, Xiao Ao seemed to see his 20-year-old youth.
Nash received the ball and advanced, and the Nets took the lead in attacking at the beginning.
Bringing the ball to the frontcourt, Nash handed the ball to Qin Chong who raised the top of the arc.
After a 9-game truce, Qin Chong will come back for the first attack in the opening game.
The cheers all over the sky suddenly increased a few decibels, and many fans at the scene shouted Qin Chong's name in unison.
In the opening game, Celtics coach Rivers did not arrange to double-team Qin Chong.
So only Jermaine O'Neill stood two meters away from Qin Chong, who was marking the UAE's Kevin Garnett near the baseline on the right.
Always ready to roll down and help defend.
Feeling the cheers all over the sky, Qin Chong faced Xiao Ao, who was a late hero, and didn't put up his strength to fight back.
Instead, he made a face-to-face breakthrough, using a seemingly jerky but very confusing crossover, directly passed Xiao Ao, and stepped into the restricted area with one step of acceleration.
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Ao's athletic talent had long since passed its peak, and he wanted to turn around and catch up, but his feet didn't listen to him, and he almost lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
"Wolf King" Garnett watched Qin Chong pass Xiao Ao with one step in front of the frame. This fast speed gave him the illusion of helping a defender.
But Qin Zhong's sturdy figure and the enhanced version of a big shark-like body, combined with the tank-like impact,
Garnett was a little bit confused, so he let out a roar, jumped up and swung his long arms down,
Going towards Qin Chong's basketball that was about to be dunked into the basket, he blocked it fiercely.
"Snapped!"
Garnett's palm was impartial, and it happened to line up with the basketball in Qin Chong's hand.
At this time, Garnett had a triumphant smile on his face, thinking of the new top pick, dunking is nothing more than that.
However, in the next moment, Garnett was completely dumbfounded.
The basketball held by Qin Chong with one hand remained motionless. With violent force, it directly broke through Garnett's giant palm and was smashed into the basket.
"Boom!"
"This...how is this possible?"
Garnett's pupils swelled. Amidst the incredible exclamation, his wrists were sore, and he was thrown out.
The heavy smash landed beyond the bottom line of the basket.
"Boom!"
"boom!"
The referee put the whistle to his mouth, but in the end he didn't choose to blow it.
Qin Chong's two-point dunk was effective, and the cheers all over the sky once again soared into the sky.
After landing, Qin Chong was condescending, looking at the wolf king who was lying on the ground in a state of embarrassment,
He raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly:
"Old Wolf, don't fight like this when you're older, and play harder, otherwise I can't guarantee that you will still be able to leave this arena standing up after the game!"
Qin Chong's humorous yet domineering words made Garnett feel ashamed and angry. He clenched his teeth and beat his fists hard on the floor.
Pierce and Rondo ran up quickly and helped the old wolf king up.
The cheers continued. After 9 games and 19 days, the Nets fans finally saw Qin Chong's god-level performance again.
"Qin YYDS, you are too strong, you beat Wolf King Garnett at the beginning!"
"The Celtics are strong on the outside and hard on the inside, and the year after year is not as good as the year after year. Qin will come back tonight, and we will definitely win the Celtics!"
"Wooooow, Qin is too strong, Qin is the eternal god in my heart!"
"Wolf King is really old. He was overturned in the first defense at the beginning of the game? Our Qin hasn't started to exert strength yet! Haha!"
"I want to see Qin beat the Big Three of the Celtics by himself. To be honest, the team I hate the most is the Celtics!"
In the front row VIP position on the sidelines,
Many star fans who came to watch the game, as well as several NBA retired celebrities, were also emotional.
Because of Qin Chong's explosive start of knocking down Wolf King Garnett, he felt the tension was full,
It seems that this game tonight is destined to be another exciting and fierce battle.
Taylor Swift, who reconciled with Qin Chong, is wearing a sexy black tight skirt tonight, showing her slender legs.
On the left and right are best friends Kristen Stewart and Emma Watson.
The three star beauties are still the most beautiful scenery on the side of the court.
On the court, the Celtics attacked, and Rondo dribbled the ball forward.
As the starting point guard for the Celtics to win the championship in 08, and the league's assist leader last season, Rajon Rondo is ushering in the most glorious period of his career.
