Chapter 45: Scorching Section 3

The third quarter of the game began, and the two teams restarted.

Many Denver fans in the stands have noticed that the Timberwolves players on the court have a different look in their eyes, their eyes are full of murderous energy, and some fans who are close to them can even see the bloodthirsty aura emanating from these young players.

Chauncy Billups controlled the ball steadily, looking at the posture of the Timberwolves players opposite, his drooping eyelids opened slightly, and a fine light shot out of his flounder-like eyes.

This feeling, déjà vu, is all too familiar! Isn't this the Timberwolves wolf pack, which was the first in the league in the regular season that year, and he vaguely saw the figure of the wolf pack in the roaring west.

Chaun Xi stared at Li Shihao in front of him, this Chinese rookie still looked expressionless, but he didn't know when a raging fire had ignited in his eyes.

It seems that this game is going to be interesting, and the young Timberwolves in front of him actually exude bloodthirsty desire!

Chauncey doesn't care, he has been playing for more than ten years, and he has experienced too many ups and downs, even what about the Timberwolves, who had the first regular season record?

No matter how good they were, they didn't win that year's championship, and as the FMVP of the '04 Finals, Chauncey Billups hid his confidence in his heart is something that most people don't understand.

Only the four friends who built the iron-blooded pistons with him at the beginning will understand what kind of strong confidence is hidden in the heart of this low-key and simple guard!

Chauncy Billups relied on his strong physical fitness, broke through from the top of the arc to the right side, and quickly hit the ball to the ground, which was picked up by Nene under the basket, who took advantage of the momentum, held the ball in the penalty area, and was ready to score with a violent dunk!

But I saw a big white and powerful hand with a wave of anger to seal down, and instantly blocked the basketball with rapid force from behind him.

"Bang-"

There was a loud bang, and the basketball was limbly pressed to the rebound, a neat top cap.

Nene gasped and looked up at the man behind him, Mark Gasol, how could this second-round pick block me at that time.

Nene recalled the force of the slap just now, and his heart palpitated, that incomparable power was making him frightened, was this done by this big white man? Isn't he supposed to be like his all-star brother and play soft?

It is unimaginable that there is such an amazing power inside line in Europe!

Marc Gasol handed the ball to Li Shihao, who handed it over to Li Shihao to organize the attack.

Li Shihao dribbled through the half, facing Billups's close defense, his face was still expressionless, and he did not have the anxiety and hesitation of the first half.

Slowly lowered the center of gravity of his body, adjusted the rhythm of dribbling, Li Shihao's shoulders shook, his feet sank, and he reached out to throw, causing Billups to jump up and block, but Li Shihao made a quick pass to the ball with both hands in an instant, and passed it to Brewer in the bottom corner, who quickly went down after receiving the ball, and turned around for a layup in the face of Kenyon Martin's block, with a soft feel, the basketball fell steadily into the net bag.

At 42:28, the difference narrowed to 14 points!

A hint of surprise flashed in Billups' eyes, Li Shihao's shooting action just now was extremely realistic, and he even deceived a veteran like him, this rookie is not simple!

The Nuggets attacked, Carmelo Anthony asked for a position at the 45-degree three-point line, Chauncey Billups passed the ball to Carmelo Anthony, this position is a position where Anthony has always played more stable, and it is okay to give this ball to Anthony to play alone.

Anthony received the ball and tried it in front of Cory Brewer with both hands, and then a quick break tried to break into the paint area, facing the guard of Marc Gasol under the basket, Anthony rolled over and jumped up, with a soft flick of his arm, the basketball came out of his hand, but was blocked by Marc Gasol's big hand again.

Blocked twice in a row, Marc Gasol punched hard in the chest, and with a low roar, the blood in his whole body began to surge.

This is the Timberwolves' restricted area, and anyone who wants to try to score points here has to weigh it!

McHale flashed a glimmer of satisfaction in his eyes when he saw this scene on the sidelines, and now the Timberwolves have finally found a way to be tough, these young players have good potential and talent, but they still have shortcomings, they can't play against the wind yet, their defense is not tough enough, and their interior line is still insufficient.

However, he is glad that none of these have been exposed after most of the season, but have been fully exposed in this game, and now that the season has just begun, they still have a chance to make amends.

Now in the third quarter, he can clearly see that the momentum of the Timberwolves is rising, they are more focused on the defensive end and more decisive on the offensive end.

And the center position that has been worrying him has finally found a suitable candidate, and after Al Jefferson is gone, the strong addition of Marc Gasol will bring more room for appreciation to the Timberwolves.

The arrival of this Spanish big man has brought the Timberwolves' most scarce penalty area defense now, and the Timberwolves' penalty area will be more solid after welcoming Marc Gasol, and anyone who wants to try to fly in the Timberwolves' penalty area will be hit hard!

McHale is a little relieved in his heart, his vision of the interior is still so accurate, this big man he is optimistic about is gradually turning the Timberwolves' restricted area into a no-fly place!

This young team still has potential to tap into, and when they all grow up, they will definitely be one of the top forces in the West, and they will have no hope of competing for their championship in the future!

In the third quarter, a group of young players of the Timberwolves began to increase their defensive efforts with hard work, and the rhythm of the game is constantly changing.

This has never been done before!

Even Nenei, who has always played hard and fierce, was a little worried, he couldn't understand why these young-looking wolf cubs suddenly became so fierce, it was so desperate!

Anthony shot at a 45-degree three-point angle on the right side, the basketball popped out of the frame, and the rebound was easily picked up by Lefou, Lefou's long arm waved hard, and the long pass was passed to Brewer's hand, who took advantage of the situation and scored with a lightning speed!

After Billups broke through to the basket, a behind-the-back pass tried to distribute it to JR Smith, but the ball was quickly stealed by Li Shihao behind him, causing a mistake, Corey Brewer tacitly rushed quickly across the halfcourt, and Li Shihao made a long pass across the half court to Brewer, who made a quick layup again.

Then Billups shook off Li Shihao outside the three-point line, turned around and broke through into the basket, made a quick stop jump shot, shot from mid-range, and hit it steadily. Old and spicy, renewing two points for the Nuggets.

Subsequently, Li Shihao grabbed the shot outside the three-point line and hit a three-point shot at the top of the arc to close the score again!

The score is stretched to 9 points, the Nuggets' double-digit advantage is gradually shrinking, and the pace of the game is becoming unpredictable!
