"It's been almost two months since the new season started, but the Pacers' winning streak continues, and one of the things that the whole league is concerned about right now is how long exactly will the Pacers' madness last."

"Yes, the Pacers are now on a 24-game winning streak, and although there is still a nine-game gap from the Lakers' 33-game winning streak, the 24-game winning streak is also the longest start streak in NBA history, and perhaps after today's game, the Pacers' record will continue, definitely the craziest start in history."

On December 18, 2003, when the focus of the battle between the Pacers and the Timberwolves came, the ABC television network, as the main broadcaster of the NBA, was also extremely busy, because of the huge attention received by today's game, so the ABC television network gave up several other games in this round, and put all its energy and resources into today's game, and the team of on-site commentators for today's game is also unprecedentedly strong, Magic Johnson, Michaels, Randy Whitman, Scott Skyles, for today's game, ABC has arranged four commentaries very rarely, which shows how seriously ABC TV takes today's game.

"The Timberwolves have a very good record this season, so far, they have only lost four games, after ending the Mavericks' winning streak, Kevin Garnett has quietly risen to third place in the regular season MVP rankings, this season is undoubtedly the best opportunity for Kevin to win the regular season MVP, if he can lead the Timberwolves to end the Pacers' winning streak today, it will definitely add a lot of points for him."

I don't know if it's a deliberate act by ABC, but today's four commentators are obviously divided into two factions, Magic Johnson and former Suns head coach Scott Skels are very strong supporters of the Pacers and Meng Xu, while Michaels and Randy Whitman are more inclined to the Timberwolves to win today's game.

And in Huaguo, it's still 7 o'clock in the morning, CCAV5 sports channel has begun to do the warm-up before the live broadcast, Zhang Lili, Sun Zhengping, Xu Jicheng, CCAV's commentary team is also unprecedentedly strong, even Xu Jicheng, who has entered the work of the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee, was found by CCAV today, and Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping jointly commented on the game.

Because the game has not started yet, at this time, CCAV5 is broadcasting Meng Xu's highlights of this season, although for basketball lovers in front of the TV, and Meng Xu's fans, they have already watched these highlights more than once, but when CCAV5 began to broadcast these highlights, it still made countless viewers in front of the TV watch with relish.

"Today's jumping ball Xiao Ao actually lost!" With Jermaine O'Neal and Kevin Garnett jumping at the same time in the middle circle, today's game officially began, but it was somewhat surprising that Jermaine O'Neal, who has the title of "Jump Ball Terminator", lost to Kevin Garnett without the slightest suspense in today's jump ball, which also surprised several commentators in the studio hall of CCAV Sports Channel, especially Xu Jicheng, although Xu Jicheng commented on NBA games very rarely, but Xu Jicheng was a Xinhua News Agency reporter in the United States, He has been in the United States for many years as the chief reporter of CCAV in the United States, although he is not like Su Qun, every game is on the scene, but Meng Xu's game, Xu Jicheng has always paid attention to it, and in Xu Jicheng's impression, Jermaine O'Neal basically never lost when he jumped the ball. And Jermaine O'Neal's jump ball failure today is also a not very good start for the Chinese who pay attention to a good start.

"Garnett, a player, has made great progress in recent seasons, and there have been many voices criticizing Garnett in the United States, saying that he has a high salary and low ability, calling him Mr. 20 million, but with his outstanding performance in recent seasons, few people are calling him Mr. 20 million anymore, according to the American side, Garnett is now a superstar at the same level as Meng Xu, Duncan, and O'Neal." As a professional NBA commentator, Zhang Lili obviously knows Garnett a little deeper.

"Yes, if you look at the data alone, Garnett was already on par with Tim Duncan last season, and even in terms of assists, he was better than Duncan, Garnett has been able to contribute an average of 20+10+5 per game for four consecutive seasons, and last season he scored 23 points, 13.4 rebounds, 6 assists, 1.6 blocks, and 1.4 steals. However, because the Timberwolves' record and Garnett's personal honors are far from being compared with the Spurs and Duncan, Garnett still can't shake Duncan's position as the No. 1 forward in history. Sun Zhengping, who recently started commentating on the NBA, is also well aware of Garnett's information and data.

Just when several commentators on the CCAV side were still discussing Garnett, on the side of the target center arena, Garnett, as the boss of the Timberwolves, had already begun to attack with the ball, because Cassel was under Meng Xu's defense, it was a little difficult to even dribble, so Garnett directly took over the ball near the center circle and advanced with the ball himself.

A 2.11-meter-tall big forward advancing with the ball should generally be a very incongruous picture, but in front of Garnett, there is no incongruity, unlike Jermaine O'Neal's kind of who plays the guard position first, and then changes to play inside because of the sudden increase in height, Kevin Garnett's talent is innate. Meng Xu also learned from Anna by chance that Garnett, who is an inside lineman, actually has the talent of ball sense only available to defenders, although Garnett's talent is not very high, but it is enough to show how outstanding Garnett's talent is.

Today's game is also a game that cannot be lost for Garnett and the Timberwolves, the selection of the regular season MVP is one thing, and more importantly, as long as the Timberwolves can beat the Pacers today, then they will be on the top of the West. Although the Mavericks have made an excellent start to a 15-game winning streak since the start of the season, after the Mavericks' winning streak was ended by the Timberwolves, the Mavericks have lost four of the last nine games, and the current overall record is 20-4, while the Timberwolves are 23-4, so as long as the Timberwolves can beat the Pacers today, then they will not only end the Pacers' 24-game winning streak, but also ascend to the first place in the West, which is definitely an irresistible temptation for the Timberwolves.

After seeing Garnett advance with the ball, Meng Xu originally thought that Garnett would hand over the basketball to Kassel when he advanced to the top of the arc, although Garnett's ability to respond is very strong, but he is not an orthodox playmaker after all, but after seeing Garnett dribbling two steps with the ball and starting to accelerate, Meng Xu knew that he was thinking a little simple.

After a few steps in a row, Garnett's speed has been raised, when Jermaine O'Neal stood at the top of the arc and wanted to block Garnett, but Garnett easily got rid of it with a back turn, and Garnett, who got rid of Jermaine O'Neal, still didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, but rushed directly towards the Pacers' basket.

Mutombo, who was already waiting under the basket, stepped up without the slightest hesitation, only to be followed by a more violent sound as the bodies collided.

After the rushing Garnett collided with Mutombo in the air, he slid forward for a distance with Mutombo, and then slammed the dunk with one hand, scoring the first goal after the opening for the Timberwolves in a very domineering way.

"Oh no, Dibakon looks like he's hurt!" Looking at Mutombo, who fell to the ground after colliding with Garnett in the air, Rick Carlisle instantly had a bad premonition in his heart.
