The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Obviously, from Tyronn Lue's arrangement, you can see he is confident that the Forest Wolves won't score on their first attempt during the offensive possession.

Sure enough, LeBron James rushed straight to the basket in the subsequent time, and ended up...

Before he reached the basket, on the way of "Eight Steps to Catch a Cicada", someone stripped the ball from him.

Not...

As soon as LeBron was intercepted, he didn't chase after Su Wan speeding away with the steal, but stood there with his hands spread, almost revealing his original form in frustration.

"Bang!"

A heavy slam dunk, and the entire arena fell silent; those fans who were so excitedly imitating wolf howls suddenly became mute, unable to shout anymore.

Su Wan glanced at Philip on the sidelines during defense, meaning:

Aren't you calling for a timeout?

Philip helplessly shook his head slightly and called for a timeout under Su Wan's gaze.

He couldn't not call this timeout!

LeBron went off court with his head down, while Howard was frustratedly cursing something as he went off; they hadn't enjoyed playing since the first ball of the game.

And the person even more downcast than the two of them...

Was Kevin Garnett!

In these completed possessions, he had no presence whatsoever!

This season, everyone had seen Kevin Garnett's aging, averaging only 11.4 points and 7.2 rebounds.

His aging was even more apparent in this match!

So far, his data was...

0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists.

His movement on the court seemed like it was in slow motion compared to everyone else on the court.

Especially when Su Wan completed the "pick melon" move over his head, it made him feel even more ashamed. The worst part was, while scrambling for that rebound, he had exerted his utmost effort, yet the result was still...

Kevin Garnett gradually accepted that he couldn't accomplish many things he used to.

But...

He had expectations and ambitions for tonight's game.

He couldn't accept his sluggishness tonight.

No way!

I can't just give up like this!

Definitely not!

He not only cheered himself up in his heart but also encouraged the other Forest Wolves: "Come, come, come, guys, the game has just begun, don't be discouraged, let's regain our state!"

Philip clarified the Forest Wolves' offense too, starting by opening the game from the ball handler outside, only this way, the Knicks would constantly target Howard, so their core strategy could come back to life!

Otherwise, it's really difficult...

LeBron nodded, and Kevin Martin next to him nodded too; they both knew Philip's words were meant for them.

"Beep!"

The buzzer sounded, the game resumed, some "wolf howls" started again on site.

Minnesotans used their unique way to inspire the fighting spirit of the entire Forest Wolves.

LeBron's breakthrough this turn was more determined than before, and this time, he didn't call for Howard's pick and roll, but sent Howard to move toward the corner three-point line, helping him to open up space under the basket.

But Howard was moving actively, yet the Knicks' defense under the basket showed no intention of following his movement, Tyson Chandler's gaze was focused entirely on LeBron forcing his way into the basket.

"Bang!"

Before LeBron broke into the basket, Su Wan and Paul George's double team had already significantly increased the difficulty of rushing into the basket; now, he couldn't even see the basket when lifting his head, and the ball he reluctantly sent out barely cleared the interference of three people, but it didn't fall into the hoop.

Kevin Garnett watched the rebound, jumped immediately, but this time he was still a step late, the first person to touch the ball...

Was Dior!

Damn!

Kevin Garnett punched angrily.

Missing by such a tiny margin again really made him uncomfortable.

The New York Knicks launched a counterattack during this period.

The five players fast-tracked past the midline, then spread out, running towards different spots beyond the three-point line, eventually the ball arrived in Su Wan's hands, LeBron rushed at him again, Su Wan originally only made a "fake shooting move", intending to break through directly afterwards, but seeing LeBron flying in the air, he hesitated no longer and ran straight towards him.

"Bang!"

"Beep!"

Su Wan once again caused a "cylinder foul" on LeBron James.

Damn it!

This counts as a defensive foul?

I made way, I just let my hand fly past him...

LeBron explained the movement he made at that time.

His expression was extremely agitated.

If he was about to reveal his original form just now, now he had already done so, jumping around like a gorilla, complaining to the referee.

He was wildly ranting about the league in his heart:

What's with these rule changes!

Crappy rules!

Can't touch Su Wan?

Any touch means I foul?

Damn it, are these rules changed just for me?

LeBron was starting to doubt which side Xiao Hua was on.

If he's on his side, why have the rules changed twice, and both times Su Wan has benefited more?

Can't you tailor a rule specifically for me?

I damn well can't even touch him now, you know?

Xiao Hua was watching the game, feeling extremely annoyed.

Why is it, every time rules are changed for LeBron, others use them better?
