Chapter Sixty: Battle Intent

  Garnett stared at Nash, who was hanging on the rim, with a look of extreme surprise. He was the closest person to Nash on the court except for O'Neal, and he had seen the entire action unfold before his eyes - the drive, the crossover, the acceleration, the jump, the dunk, not missing a single detail.

  Wow, he's so amazing, Garnett thought to himself. Indeed, he was the one who had been favored by the coach. From shaking off Fisher, breaking through O'Neal, and finally dunking, it was a smooth and flawless performance that showcased his speed, ball control, and physical talent. Although it looked simple, completing these seemingly easy moves in such high-speed motion was actually not so simple after all.

  "Steve's move was too beautiful, perfect!" DeAntoni on the sidelines recalled Nash's performance just now, which was almost unbelievable. Is this Nash?

  "Haha, still far from it" Zhuang Fei's mouth corners were always curled up in a smile, his eyes full of satisfaction.

  Thanks to Nash's wonderful dunk, Timberwolves lead 2-0 at home.

  Just after Nash scored, the Lakers attacked and their offense was also very fast. While the Timberwolves were still stunned by Nash's shot, Kobe had already brought the ball into the Timberwolves' territory and made a mid-range jump shot.

  "Pay attention to defense!" Zhuang Fei stood up and shouted loudly on the sidelines, earlier the whole team of Forest Wolves was too slow in defense, their concentration was very poor.

  The Wolves players on the field looked at each other after hearing Zhuang Fei's loud shout, and were not very satisfied with the previous loss.

  Zhuang Fei let out a soft sigh, young people just can't calm down, but this is also the price that must be paid, the cost of growth is always very expensive. And in Zhuang Fei's view, this Lakers team was obviously imitating the old Rockets' big man and four small men lineup, except for O'Neal on the inside, the other four were all shooters, with excellent speed and defensive capabilities on both ends. If they had a head coach who could calm down the scene and integrate them, they would surely achieve success in time. It's no surprise that under Phil Jackson's leadership, they won three consecutive championships later on.

  The Timberwolves were on the attack, and the ball was once again in Nash's hands. The Timberwolves fans in the stands stopped their jeering, watching instead. Watching this Canadian who had been booed countless times.

  Nash observed the surroundings of the court again, suddenly started again, and made a very clever change of direction to break through Fischer once more.

  But this time Fischer was clearly prepared, although Nash broke through, he didn't get rid of him completely, and Fischer was still entangled with Nash. Fischer wanted to use physical collisions to disrupt Nash's balance, but what surprised Fischer was that his dark tackle did not disrupt Nash

  Nash's body balance, Nash accelerated again with the trend, Fischer's reaction was not slow, seeing Nash had already started again, he stretched out his hand to grab Nash's jersey.

  Air, Fischer didn't catch the ball shirt, he actually caught empty air.

  One step, two steps, three steps, Nash has completed the layup under Fesher's astonished gaze and started to jump up. Fesher stared at Nash's back in a daze, this 96-year-old peer is so strong.

  Nash's body seemed to slither like a spirit snake, dodging O'Neal's flying cap in mid-air. O'Neal had actually jumped up at the same time as Nash, but under his shocked gaze, Nash dodged him again and even completed a half-turn in mid-air, with his right hand lightly tossing the ball, which fell into the net like an obedient child.

  O'Neal, again hit, looked at Nash like an alien, this ball was another one-on-one with Nash, and he lost again. In a basketball game, the attacking side is always the active side, and the outside and inside lines are also dominant in singles, but O'Neal doesn't think so. He is one of the four great centers, the league's top superstar, who is Nash? An unknown junior, and he actually lost to an unknown junior twice in a direct confrontation?

  The "call" target center is once again in a state of confusion.

  "It's really too beautiful!" Magician Johnson's eyes were full of wonder, and another extremely wonderful dragon broke through. These two performances by Nash proved that this was absolutely not an accident.

  "O'Neal was thoroughly outplayed by Nash, who completely toyed with O'Neal on this one play in the air," the commentator exclaimed. No wonder Coach Z values this Canadian so much, for this Canadian, Coach Z dares to be an enemy of the whole world, he indeed has some skills.

  Kobe stood on one side of the court, looking at Nash under the basket with disdain, muttering to himself. This was nothing in his eyes. If he had a chance, he could do it too, and even better than Nash.

  "How did this Canadian become so fierce?"

  "I don't know, but this ball is really too damn beautiful, I swear, I'm going to become his fan"

  "Hey, you were the most ferocious just now!"

  "Is there? I didn't know."

  The commotion of the Timberwolves fans in the stands has not stopped yet.

  Zhuang Fei, who was standing on the sidelines, looked calm but was actually shocked in his heart. If the first goal was due to the Lakers' carelessness, then this goal was not careless at all, but rather Nash really toyed with the entire Lakers defense.

  Is this the effect of the Magic Johnson Ball Star Card? Is this the ability of the magician? Then, the remaining Jabbar Ball Star Card can be said to be no worse than the Magic Johnson Ball Star Card. Although the effect of the Ball Star Card only lasts for three games, if you find the right person and 100% fuse that Jabbar Ball Star Card, then Zhuang Fei can completely change everything with those three games. Even the outcome of a series. Just talking about the NBA, these high-level Ball Star Cards that can be used for three games are much more valuable than Coach K's prayer-like one-time use items.

  Come on, Nash! Let me see the limits of this star card! Zhuang Fei shouted in his heart. Many things about players cannot be fully reflected by the numerical values of the Wang Dynasty system.

  On the Lakers' bench, head coach Harris furrowed his brow tightly, staring at the white point guard on the court. He fell into deep thought and muttered to himself: "How did it come to this?"

  "Damn it!" O'Neal looked at Nash, who was getting more and more awkward as he gazed at him with a calm and composed expression. Nash's behavior seemed to be saying that beating him was no big deal, which in O'Neal's eyes was a blatant disrespect. Nash's demeanor reminded him of Duncan three years ago - equally unstoppable and equally calm.

  However, today's O'Neal is absolutely not the O'Neal of three years ago.

  "Hmmph!" O'Neill snorted, his eyes filled with a battle intent.

  Forest wolves, I will thoroughly destroy you.

  "Derrick, give it your all in this game. This Canadian is not ordinary, we need to deal with them with the intensity of the playoffs." O'Neal walked up to Fisher and gave him a serious instruction.

  Fischer watched Nash's receding back and nodded heavily.

  .........

  .........

  "The Lakers' Fisher broke through Nash's defense and passed the ball to O'Neal in the low post, who received it comfortably. Without making any adjustments, O'Neal turned around and slammed down a two-handed dunk, sending Garnett flying out of bounds." ABC commentator Al Michaels almost jumped up from his seat, "This opening attack by both teams is too hot-blooded!"

  "Good fat" magician smiled and said, good fat, also very agile, this is his evaluation of O'Neal in his heart. Compared to his old brother, good partner Jabbar, O'Neal's game was more exciting and dominant, a crushing center.

  The magician looked worried and glanced at Garnett, who was sitting on the ground outside the field, but saw that Garnett was not injured or hit, and stood up directly after patting his butt, with anger and fighting spirit still on his face. This also surprised the magician, as these young people of the forest wolf were all good, he used to think Pierce was the best, now Nash is also excellent, and this Garnett who was crushed by O'Neal, maybe the future NBA will be a competition between these two teams.

  "What a pity! The two teams are actually both in the West." The magician thought of Larry Bird and murmured regretfully.

  "Erwin, what did you just say?" The commentator sat back down, having not caught the magician's words.

  "No, nothing, Nash's defense is really bad." The magician had no idea that if this sentence was heard by Zhuang Fei, it might make Zhuang Fei laugh his teeth off.
