Admit defeat? Garnett smiled inwardly, he had never conceded defeat in the dictionary of life, no matter at any time. However, he also had to admit that Pierce's dunk was beautiful, and it was not easy to win this bet.

Pierce's shocking dunk at the beginning of the game really gave the Timberwolves momentum, and the Timberwolves were firmly in control of the situation in the next entire quarter of the game, their offense played well, no team can play their best offense in the face of the Spurs, and the same is true for the Timberwolves, but the Timberwolves are more outstanding than other teams is that their young players are more daring to shoot, which is also one of the results of their insistence on bombardment tactics throughout the season, That kind of quick offense is basically in their blood. The offense did not hesitate, and dared to shoot when there was an offensive opportunity, although this did not necessarily improve the offensive efficiency and shooting rate, but it made the Timberwolves look very calm and unflustered, and the two teams just started to fight for a whole quarter, and the Timberwolves finally led by four points 22-18.

"Avery, what did you do, why is your recent form so bad?"

"And guys, Shaun, Mario, do you dare to shoot when the seats are open? TMD Even the Timberwolves' group of kids are better than the guys, how many opportunities did Tim and David create for them? ”

In the first quarter, Spurs head coach Vicky was very annoyed, originally he wanted to use his best strength to fight with Coach Z and the Timberwolves, but suddenly found that he wanted to take it but may not be able to take it, the offense is too poor, and he has no athletic talent. With no shooting percentage, only defense and experience remain, and even if the Timberwolves are defended well, the league's most offensive team, which can contribute nearly 110 points per game in the regular season, can at least score more than 85 points. If the Spurs can't score 90 points in a game, there is no possibility of winning at all, this is not a problem of defense, the Spurs' defense has no problem, and now the problem is offense, the Timberwolves' defense has shrunk and narrowed, if it continues like this, Duncan and David Robinson will be surrounded by five people on the inside. Because the Timberwolves will completely put these players who can't shoot in the open spot.

"Everyone's attack was a little more decisive. You have to believe you can shoot all the balls so that you can share the pressure on Thiem and David, and the opponent is extremely mobile from the outside, as long as they hesitate. They're going to be able to block it right away, which will make them even more overwhelming, so give me a shot at every chance and don't worry about the shooting percentage. Do you understand? Vicky shouted loudly to the Spurs players, Avery Johnson was closest to Vicky, his face was full of squirting scum, and his eardrums were about to burst.

After Vicky finished speaking, he didn't forget to glare at Johnson. yīn said coldly: "Avery , if you don't want to end up, give me a good listen" The little general Johnson instantly felt his scalp tingle. Don't dare to think about it anymore.

"Alright, Coach. Don't worry, isn't it just 4 points behind, what's there to worry about, forget that we still have Tim" David Robinson looked at the angry reprimands of Vicky and didn't dare to speak out, poor Baba looked at his Johnson, and then said to Vicky with a smile, in the Spurs, he and Duncan can talk to Vicky on an equal footing, but Duncan doesn't like to talk, so Robinson usually comes.

"Tim?" Vicky was stunned for a moment, and then his face softened a lot.

Duncan, who was squinting and looking drowsy, saw that his teammates and coach were looking at him, and he also opened his eyes slightly.

"Tim, isn't it time to come up with something real, the team needs a lot of attack right now, and we're really going to lose if we hide it any longer," David Robinson said with a smile.

"Oh, well, no problem" Duncan smiled and nodded, as if he didn't care about Garnett's defense and the Timberwolves' bag. Duncan has never scored more than 30 points since scoring 50 points against the Trail Blazers, and the Spurs know that this doesn't mean he doesn't have offensive ability, but that his defense is enough to solve the problem, and he can average 36 points per game against the Grizzlies in the first round of his full fire, and he averages 36 points per game under the defense of the so-called new generation of power forward leader Raheem, who is only averaging just over 10 points per game.

The Spurs' five people went up, except for the small forward and the shooting guard, the other three were the main force, and the rotation was not large. This game is very critical, if you win the Spurs, you can lead 3-1, basically determine the promotion, if you lose, then you will really be dragged into the mud sugar, the Timberwolves are not the Trailblazers, the Spurs really can't play the Timberwolves like the Trailblazers, maybe the comprehensive strength of the Timberwolves is not as good as the Trailblazers, but the Timberwolves' offensive ability is too strong, and the Spurs are really afraid of this.

Vicky looked at Duncan's back with a look of relief and then looked at David Robinson in front of him, has such a powerful interior combination ever appeared in NBA history? How could such a strong interior line lose? The Timberwolves are just a slightly bigger stepping stone on our championship path. No matter what shape the stepping stone takes shape, its essence is that it cannot escape the fate of being kicked away.

Thinking of it, Vicky's heart was much better, and he looked at Coach Z who made him jealous with interest.

The game restarted, the Spurs' possession, David Robinson handed the ball to Johnson and then slowly ran to the front court, this is the inherent rhythm of the Spurs, Johnson cautiously looked at the surrounding situation, since the opening was broken, the league's first-class point guard did not dare to despise the Timberwolves.

Duncan did not serve the baseline ball, but went directly to the Timberwolves' hinterland, facing this Duncan in the second quarter, Garnett had the illusion that the pressure was increasing.

Avery Johnson's dribbling is very skillful, the person who defended him in the second quarter was Mobley, Mobley is not Nash, his defensive ability is quite good, Johnson got rid of Mobley's defense with a fake fax abruptly, the Timberwolves' defense is a shrinking defense of the ball carrier's oppression, as the name suggests, it is a person who is close to the ball carrier to defend closely, destroying his ball and handling the ball, and the other four are all shrunk, if the Spurs' ball carrier changes, then the Timberwolves will also change the player who defends the Spurs ball carrier, Such a defensive formation can better protect the inside line, although the outside line will still give a lot of opportunities, but it can also minimize the harm, a bit like the high pressing of the Big Three Heat period in the future, and then the inside line shrinks. It was this move of the Timberwolves that caused great trouble for the Spurs. The Timberwolves' contraction is different from other teams in the league, which is why Vicky hates, respects and envy Zhuang Fei.

Johnson, who broke through Mobley's defense, didn't shoot, he felt so bad, and now he's just looking for a pick-and-roll with Duncan, and he's sure to give the ball to Duncan in the end.

Seeing Johnson come in, Duncan immediately greeted him, which also brought Garrett out, and soon, Johnson dismantled to the left, Duncan cut down, and the ball had been transferred to Duncan's hands by Johnson.

Pierce, who was standing on the right side, saw that Garrett had been thrown away, so he went up to prepare to encircle Duncan, and just when Pierce arrived, another Timberwolves player Garnett also came, and it was obvious that Garnett had seen that Duncan was going to attack the ball.

Looking at the Timberwolves players coming from all directions, Duncan's heart burned again, and he jumped directly at the 45-degree free throw line on the right side of the basket, almost at the same time as Duncan jumped, Garnett also flew.

"It's better than fighting in the air, you're not my opponent" Looking at Duncan's one-handed flying buckle, Garnett greeted him.

"It's coming, it's touched, I'm capping this ball" Although Garnett's jump was late and his body was under Duncan, Garnett still touched the ball, and Garnett shouted in his heart that he felt that he could seal the ball.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a huge force from his wrist, and in an instant, the basketball was out of the palm of his hand, and Duncan's body flew over and collided with him.

With a "bang", Duncan was already hanging on the basket with an expressionless face, and the constantly shaking basket seemed to tell everyone about his pain at this time, and Garnett, Pierce, and Garrett under the basket looked at Duncan in shock.

Under the three-man attack, it was Garnett who was ridden this time.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the captain's rider explode," Lagabel praised after a brief moment of distraction.

"yes, the last time it was in 1996 against the U.S. team," Carter looked at with a lot of brilliance. Duncan rarely rides, and the last one he rode was O'Neal, one of the league's four major centers, Shaq O'Neal, who was also voted the second greatest dunk in NCAA history by CBS television. He rarely rides, but the people he has ridden are undoubtedly not the top people, this is the pride in Duncan's heart, everyone thinks Duncan is a humble person, but Carter knows very well in his heart that his former captain is a proud character to the bone.

"It seems that in Tim's heart, Garnett's status is not low" Carter said something that made everyone around him baffled, being able to be ridden by Duncan is also an alternative recognition, and most people Duncan disdains to make a move.

"But then Garnett is miserable, Tim, awakened" Carter couldn't help but sympathize with the Timberwolves.

"Hahahaha, Tim, it's so beautiful" Vicky on the sidelines laughed loudly, the fire in Duncan's heart was ignited, and he also knew that Duncan was terrible at this time.

The fans lost their voices in front of this dunk, which also made Vicky's wild laughter particularly harsh, Zhuang Fei too, he was still a little distracted, and he hadn't seen Duncan so seriously for a long time.

Duncan gently stepped off the basket, paused as he rubbed past Garnett, and then walked back to the Spurs' backcourt.

Garnett was silent, and so was Pierce, a button that made both of them feel extremely humiliated, even humiliated.

Garnett's fist was almost crushed by himself.
