Before the game, the players and coaches of both teams were interviewed by reporters.
"Tonight, you will be facing the 76ers, who led the league with a complete victory record. Do you have the confidence to defeat your opponent?”
"We will defend our home ground!”
Kevin Garnett, the star player of the Timberwolves, said in an interview.
"Against the 76ers with Li Fei and Iverson, do you have any plans or tactics to deal with them?”
"You'll know when you get on the court. I can only say that we'll limit Li Fei's shots! As for how many points he could get, it would depend on his luck today!”
Garnett's words surprised the reporters. The last person to do so was Popovich.
"Are you going to use a double-team tactic against Li Fei or Iverson?”
"You're wrong! We won't take the double team! On the contrary, we will defeat them in a one-on-one battle!”
Garnett seemed to have extraordinary confidence in his team.
However, the head coach of the Timberwolves, Philip Saunders, did not see it that way.
"I think that if we want to defeat the 76ers, we have to restrain Iverson and Li Fei!”
"In my opinion, restraining Iverson is much more difficult than restraining Li Fei! Therefore, most of our tactics are targeted at Li Fei!”
Philip Saunders said in response to a reporter's question.
"Then, how will you restrict Li Fei on the field?”
"I have no comment on that! For details, please see the competition!"
Sunders answered two simple questions and left.
……
……
"Coach Larry Brown! Would Iverson and Li Fei play at the same time in this match?”
"That depends on how far the Forest Wolves can force us!”
"Manager Saunders said just now that he would use some specific tactics against Li Fei! How will you deal with it?"
"This is not a problem at all! Don't we still have Iverson? Besides, would Li Fei be so easily restrained?”
Larry Brown didn't consider these questions at all. After all, in the previous matches, as long as Li Fei and Iverson went on stage at the same time, the opponent would only be willing to target one of them.
"You want to restrict Li Fei! Do you want me to score 100 points or more in a single game?”
Iverson chose to interrupt.
"Brother! You already got 100 points! It seems that all five of them should be in front of me!”
Li Fei said.
"Hahaha…you're getting more and more humorous!”
Iverson laughed loudly.
"Alright! We're going to warm up! As for the other questions, I think you should ask them after the competition! I'll also edit your manuscript!”
Larry Brown patted Iverson's shoulder and left the press conference.
"Goodbye! Cute reporters!"
After Iverson got up, he didn't forget to tease the reporters.
On the court, Li Fei and Iverson performed an alley-oop while warming up.
In an instant, it attracted the attention of the entire audience.
"Can you go higher? With the height just now, Garnett could block it!”
Iverson pointed at the basket and shouted at Li Fei.
"We'll know once we try!"
Li Fei stood outside the three-point line and immediately began to run.
Iverson also threw the ball toward the basket. The height of the ball this time was quite a challenge for Li Fei.
However, after Li Fei ran up, he jumped high and successfully caught Iverson's pass and dunked the ball in.
"Woo…Looks like Li Fei is in a very good state tonight!”
"I have nothing to say! A 175-meter tall guy could actually jump so high!”
"Before Li Fei, if someone told me that a 175-meter tall man could slam dunk like this, I would definitely slap him until he couldn't take care of himself!”
"Look at you, you're still as violent as ever! Can you be gentler?"
In the studio, Jenny and David were discussing Li Fei's jump with relish.
In the audience, Li Fei's support team once again occupied a spot in the stadium, cheering loudly for Li Fei.
"Boss! Good luck!"
"Boss! Deduct one on Garnett's head!"
"Boss! If we win the competition, supper will be on me!”
"Boss Li Fei! I love you!"
“……”
Listening to the cheers from the crowd, Li Fei's fighting spirit burned fiercely.
It seemed that tonight, Li Fei would once again display his amazing scoring ability.
The players from both teams went on stage. Larry Brown actually used the combination of Li Fei and Iverson in the first quarter.
Sunders was caught off guard.
Even so, Saunders had full confidence in Garnett. He believed that Garnett would beat the Sixers in the paint.
He did not make any adjustments to the players and still sent out the starting players he had arranged.
The Timberwolves 'starting lineup: Trier Brandon (point guard), Chauncey Billups (shooting guard), Wally Zerbiak (small forward), Kevin Garnett (power forward), and Laszlo Nesterovic (center)!
The starting lineup of the 76ers: Iverson, Li Fei, George Lin Qi, Siolatris, and Mutumbo!
The players who jumped the ball in the midfield turned out to be Garnett and Mutumbo.
It looked like the Timberwolves wanted to grab the first chance to attack.
Garnett did not disappoint and passed the ball to Brandon.
Li Fei suddenly struck out from the side and took the ball down in the air. Then, he passed it to Iverson.
As soon as Iverson arrived in the front field, he saw Li Fei standing in the bottom corner, raising his hand to ask for the ball.
With a fake pass, Iverson fooled Brandon and rushed toward the inside lane.
Billups had no choice but to give up on defending against Li Fei and directly pounced on Iverson.
This was what Iverson wanted, and it was also what Larry Brown was most at ease about.
As long as Iverson broke through, the other side would definitely send someone to defend against him.
At this time, Li Fei would be free.
Iverson wasn't greedy and directly passed the ball to Li Fei.
With a three-pointer, Li Fen hit the first three-pointer of the game.
There were still four more to complete the mission.
"This combination is too good! Iverson was in charge of breaking through! If no one came up to defend, Iverson could choose to attack himself! Once someone came up to fill in the defense, there would definitely be an empty spot on the field!”
"Moreover, after the 76ers have a player like Li Fei, Iverson's assist count is rising!”
"This is too terrifying! Iverson Li Fei! Two powerful firepower points! The 76ers this season were very interesting!”
"Let's see how the Forest Wolves choose their attack!”
As soon as Jenny and David finished speaking, the Timberwolves, with Billups 'help, scored a goal from Garnett.
