Chapter 598: [Can handle "postman", not "wolf king"! 】

Guo Xu checked the big news of the world's NBA league in the past 10 years. A small change can cause a series of butterfly effects, leading to a completely different history.
The change in this parallel world is even greater. The cause of the incident is probably that Duncan's mother had an additional medical examination when she was young.
In the original historical process, the day before Duncan's birthday in 1990, his mother died of breast cancer. At the time, Duncan was only 14 years old. Before his death, his mother hoped that he could finish college and become a cultural person. Therefore, in order to fulfill his mother's last wish, Duncan, despite his outstanding strength, only participated in the NBA draft after graduating from college.
In this world, Duncan's mother discovered a small lump on her chest early, and successfully changed the outcome of the death through surgery. Naturally, there was no longer the will to let Duncan go to university.
Duncan's family supported him to enter the NBA early. As long as there is a guarantee contract in the front, the whole family can follow suit.
In 1993, Duncan entered Wake Forest University as a psychology major. In the first game against the University of Alaska, Duncan scored no points, freshman he is just an ordinary insider with outstanding body.
Duncan's initial dream was to become a swimmer, because his sister was a member of the US National Swimming Team.
Later, Duncan was influenced by his brother-in-law, coupled with his tall body, he began to practice basketball at the age of 14. He has a high IQ and basketball talent, which is why he can quickly become a star. At first, no one expected him to be strong enough to fight against the "big shark" on land.
With high-intensity training, Duncan's performance quickly rose. In the second year of college, Duncan scored 25 points in a game against Wallace University. Jerry West determined that he would be the No. 1 pick in the 1995 NBA draft. Unfortunately, the Lakers do not have a high draft pick.
Although Duncan University's team's record in the first two years was not excellent, his stats were not particularly explosive, and he did not win personal honors, but he was confident that he could adapt to NBA-intensity games and participated in the 1995 NBA draft.
Duncan, who was running for two years ahead of schedule, did not become the No. 1 pick, only slightly overwhelming high school student Garnett, and the fifth overall pick was selected by the Timberwolves.
The unlucky Garnett was selected by the Grizzlies sixth. The Grizzlies in this period are located in Vancouver. No star is willing to join, and the record is the bottom every year. It is no better than the Timberwolves.
Guo Xu feels that this is destiny, and Garnett is destined to become a "king of the north".
After joining the Timberwolves, Duncan's rookie season was not outstanding. The team didn't even score in the playoffs. He averaged 12.5 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2 assists and 2.2 blocks. He failed to compete for the "Little Flying Squirrel" Stadamer to get the best. Rookie.
This is not Duncan's ability, but he can not get the ball. The Timberwolves' 1995-96 season boss is Isaiah Leder, a well-known NBA cancer. There are also Kristin Leitner and Duncan sharing playing time inside.
This season, the Timberwolves' record has changed, and the draft is only ranked eighth.
In the 1996 draft, Garnett's Grizzlies did not use the pick to pick power forward Sharif Rahim, but instead chose point guard Stephen Marbury.
Fate, it ’s amazing ...
The Bucks picked Rahim in the fourth pick. If they chose Marbury, they would be happy to trade with the Timberwolves.
When the Timberwolves wanted to trade Marbury, whom they had previously liked, the Grizzlies, who also lacked good guards, refused.
The Raptors selected Stadamayr, the Greens selected Antoine Walker, the Clippers selected Lorenzen White, and Ray Allen fell to eighth before being selected by the Timberwolves.
Marbury wasn't a deal, and the Timberwolves had to leave Ray Allen, both sides were reluctant.
Unwilling to intervene in the shadows, when the "crap stick" Leder was cleaned by the team, after Leitner was traded, the Timberwolves' spring came.
Duncan will become a 20 + 10 star next season. Second-handed Gugliotta also played a career peak of 20 + 8 + 4. The two were selected to the All-Star and led the Timberwolves to the playoffs. The second round lost to the Jazz.
The Timberwolves' offense has become smooth and beautiful. Duncan and Gugliotta form a twin tower, which can not only pick and roll offense, attack at a low position, but also pass the ball at a high and low position.
The outside line focuses on cultivating Lei Allen. Lei Allen who has just entered the league is an excellent instant combat strength. He is explosive and fast, and his bounce power is a slam dunk contest level. He is accurate in mid-range shooting and can also break through with the ball.
The Timberwolves have established a trident. Players in other roles are responsible for catching shots and defending.
The key to the team's success lies in the chemical reaction. Gugliota and Duncan complement each other. His specialty is to pull out the middle shot. Duncan prefers to hold the ball in the low position early in his career, attracting the ball and then dividing the ball.
Gugliotta and Garnett's partner overlapped in position. Both are forwards and both like to avoid playing and struggle to defend the penalty area.
Garnett was too thin when he first entered the league. In order not to play inside, he falsely reported his height, which caused Gugliota to go to the main forbidden zone. His injuries were directly related to the strength of the confrontation.
Now that the Timberwolves have a tough Duncan, Gugliota stays in good health and can pull out and float as much as possible. He is not afraid of others saying he is a soft egg, because he knows his weight, his physical quality is incomparable with Duncan, and success depends on technology.
In the 1997 draft, the Timberwolves selected combo guard Bobby Jackson for the weakest No. 1 spot.
Although Jackson's organizational ability is not very good, but he can shoot suddenly, strengthen the team's offensive firepower in the second quarter. The starting Timberwolves are mainly inside, and the outside is responsible for the ball attacking Ray Allen.
Ray Allen's career has improved significantly in the second season, averaging 17.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4 assists, shooting 30.7 percent from the field, and can make 2 three-pointers.
It is worth mentioning that the Spurs with a poor record in 1996 selected Van Horn with the top pick, which is a tragedy for the two towers.
The 1997-98 season's results were eye-popping, and the Timberwolves achieved the fourth record in the Western Conference in the regular season, slightly inferior to the Jazz, Supersonics, and Lakers.
However, the Timberwolves younger players played better and better. After entering the playoffs, they struggled fiercely, sweeping the sun 3-0 in the first round.
In the second round, the Timberwolves defeated the Jazz, who won the top spot in the regular season and won 62 games.
"Big White Bear" Ostertag did a good job defending O'Neal because O'Neal had no range and always attacked the restricted area ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Duncan although the dominance of the restricted area is slightly inferior to "Big Shark", but he is more comprehensive A low attack, can also be pulled out to play pick-and-roll to help the defender create a misplaced offense opportunity, catch the ball.
"Big White Bear" was not good at pick-and-roll and was exploded. Duncan and Ray Allen became key figures.
In the Western Conference finals, the Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers 4-2. Duncan is not inferior to O'Neal in terms of data. Kobe Bryant's performance in the second season is not as good as Ray Allen, only to play around and shoot.
In the finals, Duncan blew up Bulls center Luke Langley. Rodman could only defend Gugliota, and Duncan couldn't help.
Driven by Duncan, Tom Hammond, Sam Mitchell, Terry Burt, Anthony Piller, Ray Allen and others all played well. Only Gugliota has a low hit rate, but Rodman, the Bulls forward, has no attack power and can only try to beat the son.
In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Bulls 4-3. Duncan helped the team win the team's first championship and was elected FMVP.
The Bulls have tried their best. This season, the players are aging, and their physical performance is losing. In the final seven games, Jordan also forced a high fever to play. Fever Jordan can handle the "postman" and "Wolf King"!
