The next night, the Nuggets sat at home and began to meet the challenge of the Timberwolves.

Rushing~

As usual, the Pepsi Center was packed, and the atmosphere became more and more frenetic, with a faint momentum of becoming the home of the devils.

When the Timberwolves played, the arena was filled with overwhelming boos, and Garnett's pre-game provocation of the Denver Light made Nuggets fans extremely hated, and they hoped to use the boos to affect Garnett's state as much as possible.

At the same time, they are also full of anticipation, hoping that the Denver Light will play well, and preferably slap Garnett in the face.

Garnett was expressionless at the boo, but instead put his right hand on his ear and made a listening posture, which only made the boos even stronger.

When it was the home team's turn, the voices changed, and the fans cheered for the home team and shouted the names of their favorite players.

Chi Liang held his breath in his heart, and he couldn't wait for this game to come, whether it was to vent his evil anger or to prove himself.

In order to 'face' Garnett, Chi Liang rarely did not serve as a substitute, but served as the team's starting power forward and took the initiative to play against Garnett.

The players who partner Ji Liang are McDyce, Williams, Billups and Van Exel.

On the other side, the Timberwolves fielded center Dean Garnett, power forward Kevin Garnett, small forward Joe Smith, point guard Sam Mitchell and point guard Trill Brandon.

This Timberwolves team naturally has Kevin Garnett as the core. In the last season, Garnett performed well, averaging 18.5 points, 9.6 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, which is almost an all-around performance, making him the league's top power forward.

At the same time, he is also the Nuggets' biggest threat.

In the jump ball session, there were no accidents, Garnett relied on his height and reach to beat McDyce to grab the ball.

The Timberwolves went on offense, and Trill Brandon held the ball past halfcourt before passing it to Garnett.

Chi Liang against Garnett, in order to avoid accidents, Chi Liang entered a dynamic vision state from the playing stage, and he was confident enough to at least be able to suppress the opponent.

Of course, with Chi Liang's physical strength, I'm afraid it won't last for half an hour. But these hours were enough for him to vent his evil anger fiercely.

After receiving the basketball, Garnett leaned in, compared with Chi Liang, his figure was relatively thin, and he naturally couldn't stand up to Chi Liang.

So, Garnett resolutely turned around and jumped.

Garnett has a distinct advantage over Ji Liang, with his height, reach, and bounce dominating, making his jump shot difficult to block.

But Garnett underestimated Chi Liang after all, especially when his opponent also opened the dynamic vision, and the reaction reached the extreme.

At the moment when Garnett turned around, Ji Liang took a step back, stretched out his right hand as fast as he could, cut the basketball, and completed the steal neatly.

From the beginning, Ji Liang was wary of Garnett's jumper. Garnett's thin body also caused his offense to be soft, and his offensive methods were mostly mid-to-long-range step-back jumpers and back-to-back jumpers, occasionally using extremely fast speed to make strong penetrations.

Although the style of play is on the outside side, due to the difficulty of his shots being blocked and interfered with, Garnett's shooting percentage is still guaranteed to a certain extent, and his scoring is relatively stable.

It's a pity that Garnett hasn't reached his peak yet, and he has encountered Chi Liang in the 'explosive state' again, and I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable.

After Van Exel grabbed the basketball, the Timberwolves retreated quickly, so naturally there was no chance of a fast break.

"Nick, ball!"

After the switch between attack and defense, Ji Liang stood in the low post and took the initiative to ask Van Exel for the ball.

Without hesitation, Van Exel opted for a pass. This time is different from last time, Garnett provoked Chi Liang first, and Van Exel, as a teammate, naturally has to share the same hatred, otherwise it will be too much to say.

Ji Liang received the ball with both hands, he didn't attack immediately, and said to Garnett: "I heard that you don't know me, but after this game, you must know me too!"

Garnett was about to respond, but Chi Liang leaned in, almost the same as Garnett's action just now, but compared with Garnett, Chi Liang had more strength, and he couldn't jump when he pressed it, so he pressed Garnett to turn over and jump and shoot.

"It's just the first goal!"

After hitting the basket, Ji Liang raised his index finger and turned back to defend.

"Damn rookie!" Looking at Chi Liang's back, Garnett raised his head, his eyes full of fierceness.

After Brandon dribbled past half court, Garnett opened his hands again and couldn't wait to ask Brandon for the ball.

was beaten by a rookie, which made him feel very shameless, and if he wanted to fight back, it was best to completely blow up the opponent at both offensive and defensive ends.

Garnett didn't know that Ji Liang thought the same way as him.

Garnett is very confident, he doesn't think Ji Liang can limit himself, and the steal just now was a complete accident.

In the face of Garnett, Ji Liang did not dare to be careless, even if Garnett did not reach his peak, but at least he was an all-star level of strength.

"I'm going to beat your dad so much that he doesn't even know you!" In response to Ji Liang's move just now, Garnett responded.

"Then I'll beat you into a pig's head and let the whole world know you - Garnett, the 'King of Pigs'!" Hearing Garnett's provocation, Ji Liang shot back unceremoniously. began to use all his strength, and the small movements were very slippery, taking care of Garnett from head to toe.

Hearing the word King Pig, Garnett's forehead was bruised, and he instantly completed his turn, turning from a basket to a basket.

This time, Garnett was clearly on guard, and Ji Liang had no chance to steal. But he still stepped forward and continued to engage in physical confrontation with Garnett.

He's going to play to his strengths and not give Garnett an easy chance to score.

In an instant, Garnett lifted the ball and shook it, regardless of whether he deceived Chi Liang or not, and immediately slapped the basketball and wanted to hit the basket.

I have to say that Garnett's movements were smooth, but Ji Liang's reaction was too fast, and he was not shaken up by Garnett, but continued to follow the other party and continued to develop oppressive force.

Garnett was very fast, but compared with Chi Liang, he was still one or two points behind, which also caused Garnett not to complete the breakthrough, but was suppressed by Chi Liang in the confrontation.

The failure to impact the basket made Garnett feel annoyed, but the arrow had to be sent on the string, so he could only make a sharp stop and shoot a jump shot from his back slightly.

Ji Liang jumped close to his body, raised his right hand high, and in a place where the referee couldn't see, his left hand pulled the hem of Garnett's jersey hard, hoping to disrupt his shooting rhythm.

Boom~

I don't know if it's because of the feel, or if Chi Liang's small movements play a role, in short, the strength of this ball is small, and finally the basketball smashes on the basket and bounces towards them.
