Garnett wanted to scramble for the frontcourt rebound, but Ji Liang's reaction was too fast, and he was stunned to get stuck in the position first, and then jumped high and easily grabbed the rebound.

Ji Liang didn't pass the ball, but immediately took a step forward and rushed all the way to the front. His speed was fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was outside the three-point line.

Because it was too sudden, the Timberwolves players had not yet fallen into position, and Brandon, who was the fastest to retreat, wanted to steal, but was dodged by Ji Liang with a back dribble and continued to rush towards the basket.

But Brandon's grab, finally delayed a little time, so that Garnett returned to the defense in place, seeing that Ji Liang's momentum had been completed, Garnett stood under the basket, and wanted to make him an offensive foul.

Ji Liang's reaction was so fast, after seeing Garnett's move, he immediately turned to avoid and poured the basketball into the basket hard.

"It's the second ball!" After landing, Ji Liang looked at Garnett, and his heart was full of desire to attack.

He's going to wreak havoc on the basket, he's going to rub and abuse the hard!

Rushing~

After Chi Liang completed a one-stop fast attack, the fans at the scene were obviously excited and shouted Chi Liang's name loudly.

On the Nuggets bench, the bench players stood up, waving towels and exaggerating their inner excitement.

Before the Timberwolves served, Brandon asked worriedly, "Kevin, are you okay?"

"He's lucky, rest assured, it's not so easy to score later!"

Garnett pretended to be relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was full of vigilance in his heart, even if it was only two rounds, but the strength shown by Chi Liang still made him fearful.

"I have to get one first!"

Garnett secretly said in his heart that if he failed in the singles again, he was afraid that it would hit the morale of the team.

Soon, Garnett received the basketball, this time farther away from the basket, and under Ji Liang's defense, he dribbled like a guard, opened up the shooting space to the side, and jumped back to make a jumper.

Swish~

Hearing the sound of the basketball entering the basket, Chi Liang said that 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, coupled with his long arms and excellent jumping, which also makes it difficult for his jump shot to be interfered with.

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 simple, it has to do with the location of the pitch. At that time, the Timberwolves stipulated that players over 2.15 meters must take on the task of center, and with his real height, he would definitely be ordered by the team to gain weight and train more strength to play center, and Garnett didn't like to fight the inside style of play at all.

"Rookie, you can't stop me!" Garnett pounded his chest excitedly and roared, which is also one of his trademarks.

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

When you think of him, you will inevitably think of similar images: holding your head against the basket, smashing your own head with a basketball, pointing at someone's head, doing push-ups angrily...... Sometimes, he will open his mouth to bite his opponent.

Pounding the chest and roaring push-ups, iron-blooded jumpers are tough!

That's what Garnett is talking about, but it's more like a joke from the fans. Garnett seems to be known for his iron-blooded personality, but on the offensive end he relies too much on mid-range shooting and drifts farther and farther away to reflect his tough, iron-blooded personality.

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

"It's just a ball! Also, watch out for your saliva, it's about to spray on my face! ”

Chi Liang frowned, revealing a disgusted expression, and Garnett squirted saliva indiscriminately, with the suspicion of deliberately disgusting him.

After the switch between offense and defense, in order to take care of his teammates' emotions and avoid hurting his harmony, Ji Liang did not take the initiative to ask for the ball and watched McDyce receive the basketball.

Under the tight guard of Dean Garnett, McDies passed the ball to Billups for the transition, and he feigned cutting inside but ran to the left.

Compared to Dean Garnett, McDies was noticeably more flexible and quickly shook off the other side.

At this point, Billups passes the ball back to McDyce, who catches and shoots.

It's not a tactic, it's mainly about tearing up the defense and allowing the player to take advantage of the opportunity to shoot.

This kind of small cooperation has also become a more stable scoring means for McDyce. Compared to many interior players, his flexibility is more advantageous.

Boom~

It's a pity that McDyce didn't feel good, and he originally took a nine-ten-out open shot, and finally smashed it on the neck of the basket and bounced under the basket.

In a scramble, Ji Liang relied on faster reflexes to beat Garnett to grab the offensive rebound, and due to the congestion of the restricted area, he did not attack twice, but passed the ball to Billups, who made a jumper.

Boom~

Unfortunately, the ball still didn't go in, and the rebound was grabbed by Dean Garnett.

It didn't take long for the Nuggets to make a comeback, with Van Exel breaking through with the ball and passing the ball to McDyce again.

With Dean Garnett's interference, McDyce turned and jumped, but the basket seemed to be covered and the basketball collapsed again.

Bang bang bang~

The feel seems to be contagious, and in the later time, the Nuggets' offense is all based on iron.

However, the Timberwolves were not much better, and under Chi Liang's close defense, Garnett was obviously limited, shooting 1 of 5 and still only scoring two points.

After snuffing out Garnett, the Timberwolves' main scoring came from Joe Smith, the 1995 No. 1 pick with excellent scoring ability.

Speaking of Joe Smith, it is impossible not to mention the famous 'Timberwolves Secret Case' in later generations.

Before the start of the shrinking season, the Timberwolves were very 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 worth, as long as he is not a stupid person, he can see it.

But at that time, the strike had just ended, the whole league was in chaos, and countless incidents were waiting to be dealt with, and no one paid attention to this strange signing behavior.

If history hadn't changed, the Timberwolves had reached a back-box deal with Smith's agent to circumvent luxury tax sanctions.

According to the secret agreement, Smith will sign a one-year contract with the Timberwolves for the next three years; After three years, the Timberwolves will activate the Bird clause and sign Smith to a seven-year, $40 million to $86 million contract. The actual number of contracts will be determined based on Smith's performance over the past three seasons.

There is no doubt that the Timberwolves have seriously violated the spirit of the collective bargaining agreement. When the scandal erupts, the Timberwolves will face huge penalties, a fine of $3.5 million, and a first-round pick for the next five years; Owner Taylor, general manager McHale and agent Fleischer were all severely punished.
