Garnett wanted to compete for the frontcourt rebounds, but Chi Liang's reaction was too fast, so he stuck the position first, then jumped high, and easily grabbed the rebound.

Chi Liang did not pass the ball, but immediately took a step and ran towards the frontcourt. His speed was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he came outside the three-point line.

Because it was too sudden, the Timberwolves players had not yet fallen into a good position. Brandon, who had retreated the fastest, wanted to grab it, but Chi Liang used the ball behind his back to avoid it and continued to rush towards the basket.

But Brandon's robbery finally delayed a little time, allowing Garnett to return to defense. Seeing that Chi Liang had already made a rush, Garnett stood at the basket and wanted to make him an offensive foul.

Chi Liang's reaction was so fast that after seeing Garnett's actions, he immediately turned to avoid it and poured the basketball into the basket with force.

"The second ball is here!" After landing, Chi Liang looked at Garnett, his heart full of offensive desire.

He wants to ravage the basket, he wants to rub the hardcore!

Wow~

After Chi Liang completed a one-stop fast break, the fans on the scene became obviously excited and shouted Chi Liang's name loudly.

The Nuggets' bench and substitutes stood up, waving towels, exaggerating their inner excitement.

Before the Timberwolves serve, Brandon asked worriedly: "Kevin, are you okay!"

"He is just lucky, don't worry, it will not be so easy to score later!"

Garnett pretended to be relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was full of vigilance. Even if it was only two rounds, Chi Liang's strength still made him very afraid.

"I have to go ahead!"

Garnett thought to himself that if he failed the single again, it would probably hurt the morale of the team.

Soon, Garnett received the basketball, this time it was farther from the basket. Under Chi Liang's defense, he dribbled like a guard, pulled the shooting space to the side, took off and leaned back and jumped.

Swish~

Hearing the sound of basketballs entering the basket, Chi Liang said he was helpless. Even if his reaction reached the extreme, it did not mean that he could completely lock Garnett.

The most important thing is that according to Chi Liang's observation, Garnett's height is probably 215 cm, and his long arms and excellent bounces make it difficult for him to interfere with his jump shot.

In the current NBA league, the most famous player who conceals his height is Kevin Garnett. His official height is 211 cm, but his real height should be 215 cm.

Why did Garnett hide his height?

The reason is very simple, mainly related to the position of the court. At that time, the Timberwolves stipulated that players over 2.15 meters must undertake the task of center forward. With his real height, he will definitely be ordered to gain weight by the team, and he will be trained to play center forward instead. Garnett didn't like the way of fighting the inside line at all.

"Rookie, you can't defend me!" Garnett roared excitedly, pounding his chest, which was also one of his symbols.

He is the "Wolf King", the man who is always full of vitality, always arrogant, and always vents his passion all the time. No matter where he is, he is always the one with the biggest voice.

When you think of him, you will inevitably think of similar scenes: you put your head on the basket rack, smash your head with a basketball, pointing your fingers at someone else's head, doing push-ups in anger... Sometimes, you will even open your mouth to bite your opponent.

He beats his chest and roars with push-ups, and his iron-blooded jump shot is a big tough guy!

This sentence is about Garnett, but it is more like a joke from fans. Garnett seems to be known for his iron-blooded personality, but he relies too much on mid-range shots on the offensive end, and he is drifting further and further away, unable to reflect his tenacious iron-blooded personality.

The iron-blooded jump shot is more suitable for Karl Malone.

"It's just one ball! Also, be careful of your saliva, it's almost spraying on my face!"

Chi Liang frowned and showed a disgusting expression. Garnett squirted in saliva, and there was a rift that deliberately disgusted him.

After the offense and defense transition, in order to take care of the emotions of teammates and avoid being hurt, Chi Liang did not take the initiative to ask for the ball, and watched Mike Dyce receive the basketball.

Under Dean Garnett's strict defense, McDace passed the ball to Billups in the transition, pretending to cut in and running to the left.

Compared with Dean Garnett, McDyce was obviously more flexible and quickly got rid of the other party.

At this time, Billups passed the ball back to McDace, who received the ball and shot it.

This is not a tactic. The meaning of this transmission ball is mainly to tear the defense and allow players to seize opportunities to shoot.

This kind of small cooperation has also become a relatively stable scoring method for McDace. Compared with many inside players, his flexibility has an advantage.

Bang~

Unfortunately, Mike Dais felt bad. He made a clear shot at the empty mid-range shot that he had been pretty sure of, but finally hit the basket on the neck and bounced towards the basket.

After a fight, Chi Liang beat Garnett to grab the offensive rebound with his faster reaction. Due to the crowded penalty area, he did not make a second attack, but passed the ball to Billups, who shot the jump shot.

Bang~

Unfortunately, the ball still failed to score, and the rebound was grabbed by Dean Garnett.

Not long after, the Nuggets made a comeback, and Van Exel broke through with the ball and passed the ball to Mike Dess again.

Under the interference of Dean Garnett, McDace turned and jumped, but the basket was like a cover, and the basketball collapsed again.

Bang bang bang ~

The feel seemed to be contagious. In the later period, the Nuggets' offense was mainly based on iron-shots.

However, the Timberwolves were not much better. Under Chi Liang's close defense, Garnett was obviously restricted. He made 1 of 5 shots and still only scored two points.

After extinguishing Garnett, the Timberwolves' main score came from Joe Smith, who was the No. 1 pick in 1995 and had excellent scoring ability.

Speaking of Joe Smith, we must mention the famous "Timberwolves Secret Agreement" in later generations.

Before the shrinking season began, the Timberwolves were optimistic about Smith's potential and signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract with Smith.

With Joe Smith's strength, this salary is completely inconsistent with his value. As long as he is not a fool, he can tell.

But the strike had just ended at that time, and the entire alliance was in chaos and countless incidents were waiting to be handled. No one paid attention to this strange signing behavior.

If history has not changed, the Timberwolves reached a secret agreement with Smith's agent to evade luxury tax sanctions.

According to the content of the secret contract, Smith will sign a one-year contract with the Timberwolves in the next three years; after three years, the Timberwolves will start the Bird clause and sign a contract with Smith for a seven-year price of 40 million to 86 million; and the actual number of the contract will be determined based on Smith's performance in the past three seasons.
