"Wow, this is Kevin's first time today?"

"I don't know, but the number of successes is really low"

When Garnett received a pass from Nash on the inside and forced his back to Duncan, and then Garnett couldn't get into a real position after a few back pushes and forced a hook shot to hit the iron, the Timberwolves fans in the stands at the target center were full of exclamations and sighs.

"Whew, it's really hard to play, but this time I will definitely succeed" Garnett looked at Duncan with the ball in one hand in his right hand, and today he was going to show Duncan his progress in front of Duncan over the years, and also let him see his dominance.

Garnett started again after thinking of this, dribbled sideways and leaned on Duncan's body, and then turned his back to Duncan's chest, and then Garnett turned around quickly and prepared to break through Duncan, but Duncan still predicted Garnett's breakthrough route in advance, although Garnett took a step forward to the basket again, but still did not get rid of Duncan's closeness, the two fell into a one-on-one back-to-back offensive and defensive battle again, Garnett did not give up because of the offense and defense of entering the back, On the contrary, they were attacking Duncan more ferociously, and at this time, the other players of both teams also opened up space for the two, and it was obvious that all the players on both teams were very confident in their own team bosses.

It's just that Garnett's inside line is indeed very bad for him, and in the end, this offense ended in Garnett's failure again, and the basket footsteps that were originally very effective against other interior lines were completely ineffective after encountering Duncan, and in the end Duncan was always able to force him to force a shot when he didn't have a chance. Such a shot naturally does not guarantee the hit rate and efficiency.

"Kevin, don't be too anxious. Take your time."

Steve Nash looked at Garnett with a depressed face, then walked over lightly and patted the big man's buttocks and said with a smile, in fact, he really understands Garnett's mood now. Now Garnett is the regular season MVP of the new department, and with the same addition of last year's Finals MVP, Garnett has become the only three players in the league who have won both the regular season MVP and the Finals MVP, which means that the competition for the first person in the league is only possible among these three, and among the three, the Rockets' big boss Olajuwon is on the verge of retirement, so the only two remaining in the end are Duncan and Garnett, Now that Garnett wants to beat Duncan and make a name for himself, then he must now lead the Timberwolves to beat Duncan and win in personal stats. So like Pierce, Garnett was extremely excited in this game.

When a team has two teammates who are so excited in a game, Nash, who is the brains and playmaker of the team, is actually very depressed, and he now needs to distribute the ball more evenly, and Nash is more likely to give the ball to Pierce at the beginning of this game. Pierce has an absolute advantage in playing Elliott, the Timberwolves must open the situation at the beginning, and Pierce is the best point to open the situation, throughout the Spurs, Pierce is a strong point, and the Spurs have no player in the No. 2 and No. 3 positions who can limit Pierce.

So at the beginning of this game, the Timberwolves quickly took the initiative and advantage of the game under the leadership of Nash and Pierce, and slowly opened the score, which is also a true reflection of the strength of the two teams, but there was a problem after the Timberwolves made a relatively perfect start.

In fact, for an organizational guard, Nash knows very well how the Timberwolves should play, that is, try to hand the ball to the opportunity point of the team's tactics or hand the ball to the most appropriate position or place, in this game, everyone knows that the strongest point of the Spurs is Duncan, and many times it is difficult for Garnett to get Nash's pass if he follows the principle of reasonable ball handling. After all, it is very easy for Nash to make the right decision with two options such as letting Garnett fight Duncan and letting Pierce fight Elliott, but just like Zhuang Fei wants to beat Popovich and Pierce wants to beat Elliott, Garnett also has a strong desire to defeat Duncan. Although Garnett did not take the initiative to ask Nash for the ball, Nash also had to give it. But after that, the Timberwolves encountered a certain dilemma. …,

Garnett and Duncan also changed slightly after they were consumed on both the offensive and defensive ends.

Garnett's strength is very strong, there is no doubt about it, if Garnett Duncan is stronger than comprehensiveness, but in this game Garnett always seeks to single Duncan under the basket, although Garnett is now one of the best interior lines in the league, but to eat Duncan under the basket is to completely use his own weaknesses to hit other people's strengths.

In fact, Nash also knows that Garnett's strongest ability compared to Duncan is his movement ability and long-range attack ability. Even Garnett himself knew it, but at this time, Garnett couldn't help but want to use his relative weakness to attack Duncan's relative strength.

This principle is actually very simple, if you win with a weak attack, then you will completely prove that you are stronger than the opponent. So what Nash can do at this time is to calm Garnett a little bit on the side.

"Phew, Steve, I see" Garnett let out a long sigh of relief at Nash's words, this time the individual singles failed again, but it also strengthened his fighting spirit.

"Coach, are we going to call a timeout now, now the score has been chased by the Spurs, and if we continue like this, our advantage will not last long" Stephen Green on the sidelines said to Zhuang Fei with a worried face, just now under the leadership of Pierce and Nash, the team once led by nearly 10 points, but the difference in the blink of an eye caught up, and only 8 minutes passed just now when the game was officially suspended, according to Green's idea, it is to call another timeout and then rearrange the main offensive point of the Timberwolves, or let Garnett play smarter. This is the most correct arrangement in Green's opinion. But what made him very disappointed was that Zhuang Fei didn't seem to plan to do this.

"No need, since Kevin wants to play, then let him go" Zhuang Fei looked at the Timberwolves boss on the court lightly and said with a smile, which also made Green anxious.

Green can understand the truth, Zhuang Fei naturally understands. But at this time, Zhuang Fei is not like this, Garnett is the new MVP. Now is the time when his self-confidence is bursting, and it is useless for anyone to say at this time. Even if he hits the south wall, he won't look back.

Besides, Zhuang Fei also wants to know what Garnett can do, and he also wants to know what Garnett can grow after this game, if he really understands it himself in this game, then he will really reach the same level as Duncan, Ao Fat. Carter is a level up. So at this time, Zhuang Fei didn't want to artificially interfere with anything.

Zhuang Fei did not call a timeout, and the Timberwolves did not change much on the court, and now Garnett has completely become the main point of attack of the Timberwolves, and the game has gradually evolved into a confrontation between Garnett and Duncan. In fact, in the Timberwolves, the players of this team rarely have too much individual offense in the usual games, everyone is mainly based on cooperation, but there is no doubt that although the game with the wonderful game is also very good-looking, but for Timberwolves fans, there is also aesthetic fatigue to watch too many such games, at this time, the team's style has changed from team cooperation to individual singles, and it is also a one-on-one muscle collision between the team's boss and the opponent's boss, such a game can indeed make people's blood gush. So while the Timberwolves' lead is slowly dwindling, the fans in the stadium stands are becoming more and more passionate.

"Kevin, you guessed it right, Coach Z really has no intention of adjusting," ABC commentator Michaels said to McHale next to him with a smile after seeing Garnett's basket hook hand short. Originally, when the Timberwolves were close to the score, he felt that it was time for the Timberwolves to adjust. But McHale next to him thinks no, and now it seems that McHale is right.

"Well, this game is very important for Kevin" McHale said lightly, every player has a knot, and Garnett's current game is the time to untie his knot, when he unties his knot, he can reach another level, McHale doesn't believe that Zhuang Fei will not know such a thing. …,

Just like McHale said, this is Garnett's heart knot, Zhuang Fei knows. Popovich also knew that he was extremely pessimistic about this game, but after seeing it now, he was a little relieved.

"Hmph, don't you want to train Garnett, yes, I accepted the victory in this game" Popovich glanced at Zhuang Fei on the other side of him. He has absolute confidence in Duncan, Garnett has Garnett's characteristics, the current Garnett's strength is indeed very strong, Duncan is not a lot of ways to take him now, but now he gives up his advantages to play Duncan, such a choice is absolutely unreasonable, if he is in the Spurs, he will never allow Garnett to do this, so in terms of cultivating players, Popovich sometimes really admires Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei's freedom and tolerance for players is definitely not available to other coaches.

Popovich is very optimistic now, in fact, his optimism is not unreasonable, just 9 minutes into the game, the Spurs completely chased the score back, at this time the two teams were also replaced by the team's second lineup, when the second team of the two teams came on the court, what made Popovich a little depressed was that the point difference that had been chased back was pulled away by the Timberwolves again, and now the Spurs' bench is really no talent, and there is no way to face the Timberwolves' group of bandits, After the two teams were re-replaced in the middle of the second quarter, the Spurs still caught up with the score again, when the score of the game was 50-48 after halftime, the Timberwolves only led by two points, and the Timberwolves' score was not very high, in fact, 50 points at halftime is not a small number for many teams in the NBA, and it was won in the face of the Spurs, but for the Timberwolves, there were too many individual singles in the first half, which led to the team's offensive success rate was not high, It was also the Timberwolves' lowest halftime scoring this season, including the regular season.

"It seems that the Spurs also have a chance in this game, now it depends on Coach Z's adjustment in the locker room, maybe it is enough to let Garnett be willful for half the court" Michaels said with a smile as he looked at the back of the Chinese leaving the court, and at this time it seemed to him that Coach Z was still as usual. It's just that at this time, the dad McHale next to him was still frowning...... Kevin, what's wrong with you, why are you so silent?"

Zhuang Fei in the locker room of the Timberwolves smiled and looked at Garnett, who was covering himself with a towel, and said, Garnett's performance in the first half of this game was indeed a little bad, too tendoned, very irrational, and it was obvious that Garnett himself understood this, so he buried himself as soon as he entered the locker room.

"Coach, am I not very dominant, even if I win the MVP, is it not as absolute dominance as Duncan" Garnett raised his head and looked at Zhuang Fei with some frustration, his current mood is indeed full of bitterness, he originally wanted to use his own way to declare to Duncan that he had successfully stood on the same running line with him or had surpassed him, but in the end he found that there was still an obvious gap.

"Oh, why do you say that" Zhuang Fei still smiled at Garnett and said, at this time, the other Timberwolves players also looked at Zhuang Fei and Garnett curiously.

"Coach, I remember you said to me that the absolute dominance of an interior player is to be able to dominate the basket, and now I find that I still can't dominate the basket like Duncan, can I really only float outside and shoot the basket when facing him? I'm really unwilling," Garnett shook his head again in annoyance.

"Dominance, well, I see, Kevin, you can play as much as you want in this game, and I won't hold you back until you really feel that you have the ability to dominate the game," Zhuang Fei said after giving Duncan a deep look at him. The other Timberwolves players were also shocked after hearing Zhuang Fei's decision, and now the team is only 2 points ahead, if Garnett continues to play like in the first half, the Timberwolves will lose.

"Coach, is it really possible" Garnett was happy in his heart, he was ready to receive a lesson from Zhuang Fei in the locker room, but he didn't expect Zhuang Fei to give him a chance.

"Of course it's true, but if our team loses, I'll punish you, otherwise I'll be sorry for your teammates" Zhuang Fei looked at the Timberwolves players around him and smiled again, while Garnett also looked at the worried teammates around him and nodded fiercely.

"Coach, I know, we're going to win, I'm going to win" (To be continued) RQ
