Chapter 9: Nuggets
The regular season has finally begun!
The Timberwolves also have their own schedule, and they will take on the Denver Nuggets led by the Golden Double on November 2.
This game was greatly publicized in Minneapolis, after all, fans like to watch superstars play, the popularity of "Little Melon" Anthony and "Answer" Iverson is among the top, plus the Timberwolves fans have been holding back for months, and two days ago they saw the newspaper about how the Timberwolves have changed, so they can't wait to watch the new Timberwolves game at the target center.
So even though there were still a few hours left to play, the atmosphere of the game was already hot.
But the atmosphere in the Timberwolves locker room was not infected by the hot enthusiasm of the fans outside, everyone knows how important and difficult this game is! Just look at their average points last season, Anthony averaged 28.9 points per game and Iverson averaged 24.8 points per game! Unfortunately, the worst thing about the Timberwolves is outside defense, and both of them happen to be outside defense, so this game will be extremely tough.
"Cheer up, boys!"
Head coach Whitman continues to cheer up the players, and the pressure of losing all of his preseason is also very high, you must know that the upper echelons have given him a notice that he must win the first win at home, how do they know how difficult it is to win this game!
"When attacking, as long as we move the ball quickly, find open teammates, grasp every opportunity to score, and when defending, as long as we defend aggressively and don't lose position, we can definitely win this game!"
"Jefferson, you have unlimited firing rights in this game, you try to beat their inside line Kenyon Martin, and Camby, Martin's small body will definitely not be able to withstand you, as long as those two inside lines are a bit, we will win this game!" Whitman turned to Jefferson again.
"Well, got it, Coach," Jefferson replied sullenly, still the same as before.
"OK, then I'll announce the starters of this game, center Ratliff, power forward Jefferson, point guard Telfair, scoring guard McCantz, small forward ~~" Speaking of this, he paused, his eyes were directly observing Zheng Ke and Gosman back and forth, Zheng Ke's heart jumped to his throat.
"The small forward is still Gossman." Whitman said.
"Huh" Zheng Ke let out a sigh of relief, although he knew that the result might be like this, but he was still a little unwilling in his heart, obviously the melon was so difficult to prevent, and he didn't change me to play, old and stubborn, hum!
Whitman didn't know that someone had defined him as an old stubborn, and he was carefully instructing Gossman, "Gothman, you have to put Anthony well, the outcome of this game is whether you can defend yourself from the two guns on the outside!" “
"Yes, coach, I will definitely defend against him, my defense is stronger now" Gossman coquettishly showed off his biceps, and proudly sent a provocative expression to Zheng Ke. Zheng Ke immediately gave him a middle finger back, which provoked a lot of anger.
Whitman watched with satisfaction as the atmosphere in the locker room gradually became more relaxed, and he changed his words, "Gosman, if you can't stop Anthony, I'll replace you right away!" “
"No, Coach, you're too ruthless," Gossman immediately became smug
This is Zheng Ke's first time participating in the NBA regular season, the hot atmosphere of the whole stadium is really not comparable to the preseason, every appearance of the players, every introduction shouted by the DJ, let the audience cheer, he feels that his ears are about to be broken by the cheers, screams, whistles, and music, he feels that his blood is beginning to boil, and he can't wait to play now.
You know, it's a regular season, if it's a playoff game, what if it's a Finals? No wonder others say that they don't know the popularity of the stadium if they can't watch a football game live.
The fiery game was also broadcast by ESPN, which brought in famed commentator Ross Barkley and his bistalk partner Smith as commentators.
"Smith, I didn't know I was going to sit here and explain the game, but it was a game that seemed to me to be in the open! The Timberwolves' perimeter defense is so bad! The fat-headed, big-eared Barkley began to function as his big mouth again, squirting everywhere.
"Oh no, my dear Charles, you know the Timberwolves are always in the youth army, and they're not going to watch the Denver people take the win easily, they're going to play the Minnesotan blood, and this game is not so easy to be one-sided." Smith continued to play his role as a professional antagonist, singing a duet with Barkley, but his tone was also not optimistic about the Timberwolves winning.
"Hopefully as you said, otherwise this game won't be really interesting, haha," Barkley said.
Just as they were gagging, the game began!
The Nuggets are now letting Iverson control the ball, saying that Iverson, who is 32 years old this year, is not as explosive as before, but he is still sharp, and his sense of rhythm is getting better and better.
In the face of the Timberwolves' weak outside defense, Iverson accelerated past Telfil with a change of direction, and after Jefferson pounced, he hit the ground and passed to Martin under the basket, and Martin scored with an easy dunk
Jefferson forced a layup under the basket, the rebound was picked up by Camby, and a long pass found Iverson, who changed direction and hit a layup past Gosman as he went
Jefferson missed the basket and the rebound was picked up by Camby
Anthony hit Gosman with his back and hit a jumper after turning around and hitting a two-point jumper
Less than 2 minutes after the opening, the Nuggets played a wave of 8:0 small climax against the host! Whitman wiped his sweat and quickly asked for a timeout.
"What's wrong with you, have you forgotten what I just said?" Whitman yelled dissatisfiedly, "Latliff, how are you stuck, don't let people make up for Jefferson!" Jefferson makes more fouls! And Gossman, Telfer, you have to focus on Anthony and Iverson, especially Iverson's breakthrough! “
"It's really a bad start, the Nuggets came up and taught our Timberwolves kids a lesson, and Timberwolves head coach Randy Whitman didn't hesitate to take a timeout and directly asked for a timeout." Barkley explained.
"Yes, the Nuggets started very quickly today, but the Timberwolves boys were a little slow to heat up." Smith explained.
After calling a timeout, it turned out to be different, the Timberwolves hit a three-pointer from the outside, and the Nuggets' fast break was unsuccessful.
Jefferson drew a foul on Kenyon Martin and made one of two free throws
Anthony singled Gomez and missed a turnaround jumper
The game is in a tug-of-war
