"At the beginning of the third quarter, the Timberwolves were in the lead in the first half, and although the Nuggets were trying to catch up, the point difference has not decreased, but has a tendency to get bigger and bigger."

"But the attacking hope shown by both teams in this game is really amazing."

"At the beginning of the second half, Nash quickly dribbled past the half, the Nuggets defense was in place, Garnett put up the cover, and after the block, Nash returned the ball to Garnett, facing McDyce in front of him, Garnett did not shoot, but threw the ball to Pierce on the other side, beautiful, Eric Williams was knocked away by Pierce's body, Pierce hit the basket from the wing, the Nuggets inside was empty, where is Lafrentz? Where is La Frentz? The excited narrator said two words in a row, where is Lafrentz? It can be seen how empty the Nuggets' interior defense is in this game.

"Nash can only play blocking with Garnett now, but Garnett's vision is very broad, Pierce's offense is also very resolute, it seems that Garnett has adapted well in the center position" D'Antoni said with a smile, the Timberwolves are now leading him by a big score and he is a lot easier.

"Well adjusted? No, it's far from it" Zhuang Fei shook his head, after Garnett played center, he didn't adapt as well as D'Antoni thought, on the contrary, he was very uncomfortable on the inside, especially on the offensive end, he always subconsciously went outside when he was attacking, and then sought opportunities to attack with the ball, which was his previous routine in the Timberwolves, which is why Garnett played blocking and dismantling with Nash in this game, and after blocking, they were all dismantled in a high position, instead of cutting to the restricted area, If he can take the initiative to block and then use his speed and bounce to cut to the basket, this ball will not be Pierce's score, but a beautiful aerial relay between himself and Nash, even if the Nuggets' interior line is so empty, he doesn't realize the cut, and it can be seen that he doesn't like to stand on the inside. Of course, Garnett's offense doesn't want to be on the inside, and Rashad Lewis doesn't want to be on the inside, which gives Pierce a lot of offensive space to attack the basket, which is complementary and contradictory. That's how basketball plays. It's hard to say who has the better effect between Garnett's attack on the inside line and Pierce's attack on the inside, both of which also reflect the layering of offense and the clear distinction between inside and outside, but it just changes the corner, the inside line is the main outside, and the outside line is the main inside.

So on the whole, in Zhuang Fei's view, at present, Garnett has not been able to achieve the effect of changing to center like Xiao Si in the future, there are his own reasons, and there are Nash's reasons, but fortunately, Garnett did a good job in defense, maneuvering xìng is very good, and the coverage area and deterrence under the basket are also very sufficient. And the basic skills of defense are also much more solid than Xiao Si.

"Wow, it's Pierce again, Pierce leaned on Eric Williams with his back, did a feint of turning his back and breaking through, and then a shot from a step back, hit, a beautiful back move, Pierce was excited today"

After Pierce saw the ball scored, he waved his arm fiercely, and glanced at Eric Williams coldly, today he felt that he was in such a good state, Eric Williams looked at Pierce helplessly, the person who made him so uncomfortable last time has now retired, and this rookie's offensive means are too diverse. And the ass is also very big, which makes him very uncomfortable.

Pierce's basketball story is like an inspirational novel, Pierce was just a substitute for the school basketball team in his freshman year, a chubby who was only 1.78 meters but weighed more than 90 kilograms

It is difficult for the guard to be appreciated by the basketball coach, because he has a huge hip, he has been ridiculed by his teammates as Barkley's second, until the third year of high school, he grew 20 centimeters in a year, directly from the No. 1 position to the No. 3 position, since then weight is no longer an obstacle for him, but has become his killer move, and the big ass has also become a weapon, and finally it only took a year, that is, the senior year of high school, he became one of the most famous forward players in the United States, and the rise speed is staggering, after college, His advantages in high school did not shrink, but under the tutelage of the new head coach of the University of Kansas Roy Williams, the offensive skills became more and more comprehensive and proficient, just in 1998, Pierce rejected the bitter persuasion of head coach Roy Williams in his junior year, and chose to leave the campus once NBA draft, like many college basketball stars, Pierce is also the object of media touting, he has been touted by the media as a small forward who can compete with Carter, The 1998 draft pick was at least the top five, which is why he failed to finish college and participate in the draft in advance, not everyone has Duncan's same determination in the face of media touting, Pierce did not have Duncan's determination to refuse the temptation of two champions at that time, he participated in the 1998 NBA draft with excitement and expectation under Williams's disappointed eyes, but what disappointed him was that the development of the draft was not that at all, Carter was indeed the top five, But he almost became unpopular, and was finally selected by the Bucks, and then was directly packaged to the Timberwolves before he went to the Bucks to report, these encounters hit him hard, and the media that originally touted him all lost their voices at this time, especially after Zhuang Fei replaced him with Marbury, the media immediately turned their faces and began to laugh at him and Zhuang Fei, which made Pierce, who has always been optimistic and cheerful, hate those media, and indirectly prompted Pierce to become introverted.

Today, his attack is very strong, because the Nuggets have a teammate he used to be at the University of Kansas, LaFrentz, this year's No. 3 pick, which was originally touted by the media, this position would have been his, and the Nuggets have also vaguely said that they are willing to accept him. He once vowed to make the Bucks regret it, and he must make the Nuggets regret it.

This time the Timberwolves attacked, Nash handed the ball to Pierce again, Nash relied on Pierce when facing the position, or subconsciously thought that it was not wrong to give the ball to Pierce, because in the previous few games, when he made mistakes again and again, Pierce, a usually silent teammate, was his most trusted partner.

One under the crotch, one changed direction to accelerate, Pierce leaned on Eric Williams' body to break through to the free throw line, and then in Eric Williams' surprise, Pierce jumped high, a shot with a noticeable back, a shot that reminded Eric Williams of the man who was once a god.

Brush, hit again. When Pierce landed, his eyes were filled with extreme excitement, as if the whole world was at his feet, and the basket on the blue frame was as wide as the sea.

"This, this is a step-back jumper after a pull-out, it's so beautiful, Eric Williams can't help it at all, Pierce is as strong as Michael today, no one can stop him, will he be a great player like Jordan?" ABC's commentary once again added one more person to Jordan's successor list.

"Pierce is in great shape today," D'Antoni shouted excitedly to Zhuang Fei.

Zhuang Fei smiled indifferently. He wasn't surprised by Pierce's performance.

Paul Pierce, 21m, 2.01m, Position: SF/SG, Shot: 81, Defense: 75, Offense: 90, Physical Talent: 85, Hidden Ability: Unknown, Ability Rating: 86, Potential Level: A, Luck Index: B+, Status: Demonic, Fitness: Excellent, Injury: None.

This is the description of Pierce's genus xìng in the upgraded dynasty system, and there are two pieces of information in the Pierce player relationship column that surprised Zhuang Fei.

"Nasty Team: Denver Nuggets"

"Nasty Team: Milwaukee Bucks"

On the court, Garnett crossed his waist and looked at Pierce, for Pierce's explosive performance this season, Garnett had mixed feelings, after the Timberwolves left Marbury, it seems that they will continue the two-star model.

"Kevin, this Pierce is fantastic, he is definitely not worse than Marbury, this is a player who can become a superstar, and the second-round pick Mobley on the bench is also very good, it seems that this deal of Coach Z is not bad" The Timberwolves owner said excitedly in front of the TV, completely unthinking that he was ready to share the power of Zhuang Fei not long ago, and he didn't notice McHale's embarrassment at this time.

In this game, the Timberwolves almost bloodlessly won the Nuggets, and the final score was 125-109, and in the last few minutes of garbage time, Billups took the Nuggets back to recover some points.

The best performer of the game was Paul Pierce, who scored a game-high 36 points on 13-of-19 shooting

"How is Pierce now" Zhuang Fei said in a hotel in San Antonio, holding a newspaper, the headline of the newspaper was "Coach Z debut, crazy offense shines Denver, Pierce, the new Jordan successor", this is the headline of the sports page of the United States today, after Jordan's retirement, the media likes to look for his successor, after this national live game, Pierce was not spared. Today, the United States is just one of these outlets, and the title of Jordan's successor is not a good thing.

"I was about to report this to you, Pierce's performance was so abnormal, he didn't have any psychological fluctuations at all, as if these toutings in these newspapers didn't affect him at all" D'Antoni shook his head and smiled bitterly, which also made Zhuang Fei, who was ready to beat Pierce, a little speechless.

"Well, that's good, I hope he can continue to stay calm and low-key" Finally, Zhuang Fei sighed and said. He and D'Antoni had no idea that Pierce had been victimized by the media's advocacy, and that Pierce had a bitter hatred for the American media.

"Zhuang, how are you preparing for tonight's game against the Spurs," D'Antoni asked worriedly. Seeing that Zhuang Fei didn't say anything, D'Antoni could only shake his head. Against the Spurs, this immature Timberwolves are too difficult.

The NBA has a shortened season, the schedule is extremely tight, and the Timberwolves are back-to-back as soon as they come out.
