In the first game of the new season, the Nuggets almost changed their appearance in the eyes of fans.

Originally, this Nuggets team has changed a lot compared to last season.

The starting five tigers have all changed except for the inside.

The style of play is very different from last season.

Last season's Nuggets, just a set of tactics - blind hook play.

After all, their goal last season was to compete for the title, but Van Buzderik dared to set up tactics and he had to be sacked.

And this season, the Nuggets suddenly became so rigorous in their tactics on both offensive and defensive ends, which really made Denver fans feel like they were "fierce".

The high-profile Timberwolves three-headed monster took the lead in timeout, and Garnett and Madman, the two team's chief scorers, probably didn't expect it to be so difficult to score today.

Timberwolves coach Phillip. Saunders also rearranged the attack:

"Find two more defenders to misplace!"

Although the Nuggets are invincible on the front line, the defense on the guard line is a little less interesting.

The defense of the double-knife turkey can only be said to be not holding back, but it is not particularly strong.

Walsh. Leonard is more of the Nuggets' weakness on the defensive end.

It's not that he's going to go to a lot of places on the map, but because he's limited by his height and his defensive ability is really limited.

Since you can't penetrate the Nuggets' forward defense, let's break through the guard line!

So after the hiatus, Kassel, who slipped through the net in Zone 51, began to show his strength as a champion defender.

For the first attack after returning, Cassel called Garnett to come out to cover.

According to the strategy of infinite defensive changes, James. Posey immediately switched to the aliens.

But as a result, the double-knife turkey had to go to the opposite Garnett!

Cassel hits the ground and passes the ball to Garnett.

KG Leaned on Miller to prepare to kill inside, and the twin turkey was powerless to stop it.

Seeing this, Posey hurriedly went back to make up for the defense and joined forces with Miller to flank KG.

But Garnett made a quick and accurate pass to Cassel at the moment when Posey came up.

Although Garnett's offense has been criticized, he really has a ceiling-level skill in the No. 4 position on the offensive end, and that is passing!

Garnett averaged more than five assists per game for six consecutive seasons in his prime.

In contrast, Weber, who is considered to be the "best passer", has only three seasons with more than 5 assists per game under the blessing of the Princeton system.

Garnett's entire career has as many as 5,445 assists, and in comparison, Mr. Green, who is learning martial arts, will only have a total of more than 3,000 assists in his career by 2023.

You must know that Mr. Green also has teammates like Curry and Thompson who are convenient for assists.

Garnett's passing ability has always been underrated, and his passing may not be as flashy, but he can definitely "get the ball to the right teammate at the right time".

But as long as KG signs a contract with Nike, he can be advertised as a "CIC Magician".

After all, someone is constantly promoting "more like Magic or Jordan".

KG's pass was particularly timely, and Kassel was the one who had the confidence to say that "no one can shoot me in the half-volley except Jordan".

This time, Cassel hit a solid shot and finally opened the scoring for the Timberwolves.

Philip. Sanders also breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the Nuggets' guard line defense is today's breakthrough!

In the first few rounds, it can only be said that the madman and Garnett were overconfident and had to make a mistake in front of the Nuggets' front.

I didn't find the right place, so can I get in? Now that I've finally found my place, I have to output it hard!

After that, the Nuggets' defense did run into trouble.

Cassel and the madman caught Miller and Walsh. Leonard's two-point play did not give the Nuggets a chance to perform at all.

The front line helps to help defend it, and it is destined to miss its own people.

Cassel's pull-up jumper was a killer, and he was a guard who could score 40 points twice in the playoffs.

Fun fact: Garnett's highest score in the playoffs was only 35, and only once!

Kassel just had a very good hand today, and he couldn't prevent it at all, and he scored 18 points on 8-of-10 shooting in the half!

He borrowed a pull-up jump shot after the pick-and-roll and put Philip on the backdrop. Sanders looked wet.

If they could get this kind of guard earlier, KG would have needed to be crushed by that nerd in San Antonio?

Fortunately, the offense on the Nuggets' side has been on the line.

Although Garnett is keen to rely on his sweeping ability to block Ryan, James. Posey's three-pointer in 3 of 5 in the first half made the Wolves dare not leave Posey half a step at all.

The madman's eyes were full of tears, Ah wolf, when you first joined the team, didn't you say that you would protect me for the rest of your life?

You broke your promise in the first game!

You're just watching Ryan ravage me in front of you? Don't call you the wolf king, call the minotaur chief!

The madman can't defend hard today, but first, his body is not stronger now than when he advanced the second defense ten years ago.

Second, the Nuggets' exquisite off-ball tactics and Miller's excellent feeding ability also allowed Ryan to get twice the opportunity with half the effort.

So, Ryan also scored 13 points in the half. It's not much worse than the 25 points that coach Bouzderrick said.

Although not as perverted as Cassel, as a rookie, Ryan's performance has been quite impressive.

As Mike. According to Brin, the suspense is no longer whether Ryan can adapt to the NBA, but how good he can perform.

In this way, the Nuggets and Timberwolves tied 52-52 at halftime.

The Nuggets, who were at the bottom of last season, and the Timberwolves, a Western Conference powerhouse, can draw at halftime, which is actually a very good performance.

But people's desires will swell, and after such a close half with the Timberwolves, Nuggets fans naturally hope that the team can win the first victory.

Although the Timberwolves are a very strong opponent, it is false to say that they don't want to win.

Losing to the Timberwolves is naturally not a shame, and it can also get a good reputation of "although defeated".

But......

The word "Glory in Defeat" itself is used to comfort the loser!

Within the Nuggets, everyone thinks the same thing.

Last season's Nuggets may have been the underdogs, but that Nuggets team is dead!

Right now, no one on this Nuggets team from top to bottom feels like they're playing on an underdog.

What if the Timberwolves are a championship contender? In the second half, you have to find a way to win the game!

At the start of the second half, Kassel found that the Nuggets were starting to pack.

Kassel's invincible performance in the first half left Bouzdrick with no choice but to strike.

But in that way, Garnett will have a lot of opportunities to shoot in the field.

The Timberwolves' configuration this season is really good, and Ryan, who is used to winning easily in high school, college and summer league, has finally experienced the intensity of the NBA.

This game is no longer something that can be won by just fighting.

The scores of the two sides remained scorching until the end of the fourth quarter.

This time, Cassel was caught between and distributed the ball to Garnett as usual.

Posey did his best to go back and block, and when Garnett lifted the basketball, Posey pounced without reservation.

But Garnett just made a shooting feint this time and flew James. After Posey, Garnett jumped into the interior line quickly like a small forward, faced with the block of Nene, and jumped directly to score with a one-handed dunk!

After the goal, Garnett opened his bloody mouth at Nene and pounded his chest and roared.

Although Garnett is mostly in the middle of the pitch, occasionally finishing this death will give people the illusion that "he is really tough".

KG is so excited not because of the dunk, but because of this goal, which allowed the Timberwolves to overtake by 1 point at a critical moment!

At this time, the game will end in only 31 seconds, and the gold content of Garnett's buckle can be seen!

It could be a game-killing goal!

The Nuggets immediately suspended the game, and the hearts of all Denver fans were in their throats.

insisted on the whole game, but such a crucial goal was deducted by Garnett, which Nima ...... What a damn one!

Posey also blamed himself very much after getting off the field: "Damn, I shouldn't have jumped just now, sorry guys......"

The Twin Knife Turkey was about to say something to boost morale, but Ryan, a rookie, was the first to speak:

"The game isn't over yet, don't feel like we've been killed by KG! Cheer up guys, we're just one point away from our first win of the season! ”

The eyes of the whole team suddenly fell on Ryan, who was 1 point behind at the critical moment, obviously these veterans should be calmer, but it turned out that Ryan, a first-year newcomer, was stabilizing the morale of the army......

Everyone immediately clenched their fists, and the first-year newcomers didn't panic, we panicked!

Bouzderrick also picked up the tactical board and laid out the tactics of this crucial attack.

Although there are still 31 seconds left to end the game, the success of the next attack will already largely determine the outcome of today's game.

After the timeout came back, fans throughout Pepsi Center were shouting.

For the first time in years, they were so hungry for victory.

The camera is given to Ryan and Mike. Brin is also full of praise:

"Ryan, the high-profile champion in history, has scored 24 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 blocks so far today.

His NBA debut was impressive, but one win away from perfection! ”

It seems that all fans have tacitly agreed that this crucial attack will be finished by Ryan.

Even the Timberwolves think so.

Garnett's next primary defensive target is still Ryan!

The game restarted, and the two-knife turkey was firmly in control of the half.

Ryan continued to move tirelessly on the field like a perpetual motion machine.

James. Posey pulled to the right early because Ryan would catch the ball on the left side next. In doing so, he undoubtedly wanted to completely pull Garnett, a monster of defense, apart.

Although under Garnett's defense, Posey did not score another three points in the second half and only made one long-range shot.

But in terms of Posey's three-point shooting percentage in the first half, Garnett still didn't dare to let him go easily.

Sure enough, Garnett was nailed to the right by Posey, and Ryan on the left side successfully shook off the madman by running back and then borrowing Nen's block.

At the same time, the twin turkeys fed the ball to Ryan at the right time.

Everything looked perfect, and the Denver fans stood up and cheered. Next, Ryan only needs to shoot in the open position to lead the team to overtake again!

Ryan himself felt that this key attack was stable, but when he lifted the basketball, he saw the No. 21 wearing a dark blue jersey approaching at a rapid pace!

Ryan was a little surprised, how could Garnett run from the right to the left so quickly?

No matter how fast he moves, he can't come over in an instant, right?

Garnett really couldn't have rushed over in an instant, but he didn't start it when Ryan received the ball, but pounced on Ryan the moment he passed the ball with two turkeys!

And with Garnett open his arms, the defensive area is huge. With Ryan's passing ability, he couldn't pass the ball accurately to Posey on the other side.

Philip. Sanders laughed with relief, and Kevin. Garnett is not a question of good or bad...... He's a historic assistant defense monster!

Rest in peace, champion!

Nuggets fans are also desperate, Garnett is too tall and has a terrible reach. It's really too difficult to throw yourself into it under his interference.

KG himself couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, this flow, Lao Tzu is determined!

Ryan had no choice but to retract the basketball and take advantage of Garnett's center of gravity to rush forward, holding the ball and hitting the inside!

But Garnett was not completely overcome, and the guy with historical defensive ability immediately adjusted his center of gravity, clinging to Ryan's side, and pressing hard, hoping to squeeze Ryan out of the baseline.

At the same time, Sugar Man Olowo Kandi also raised his arms high to block the side of the basket.

Although the sugar man is watery, he has a height of 2.13 meters and an arm span of 2.31 meters in legend.

He stood under the basket with his arms raised so high that it was difficult for Ryan to force the rim directly.

What's more, Ryan also has a Garnett attached to him.

Ryan was forced into the corner by the Timberwolves' two inside lines, one side was outside the bottom corner, one side was Garnett, and the front was the Sugar Man.

The lion has fallen into a trap!

But Ryan didn't stop, still struggling to jump up in the blockade of Garnett and Sugar Man.

Garnett and Sugar Man jumped along, four slender arms in the air, and Ryan didn't even have the slightest chance.

But......

Ryan didn't slap the sugar man, but flew out of the bottom line, trying to bypass the defense of the sugar man and KG from behind the rebound!

The whole court was shocked, is Ryan going to make a rebound and layup like Dr. J?

Seeing this scene, Bouzdrick's heart was half cold.

Because he knows very well that Ryan's hand work is not so delicate when he goes to the basket!

This is an extremely difficult rebound and then pulls up a layup, and Ryan doesn't necessarily get the ball in.

In fact, Buzderrick can be a little more confident and remove the "maybe".

With Ryan's current layup feel attribute of only 61, the action of pulling the rod to make a layup after rebounding is indeed too superb.

Although Garnett couldn't cover Ryan, he was also very happy in his heart. He knew that Ryan couldn't be motivated.

Hide, what can you do behind the rebound?

This time, there's nothing you can do!

Ryan swiped from behind the rebound to the other side of the basket and lifted the basketball again.

Should I say it or not, Ryan's air is really scary. But basketball isn't like jumping, Ryan has to put the ball in the basket.

Everyone's eyes widened when Ryan lifted the basketball and wrapped his hand around the front of the basket.

Wait a minute...... Ryan didn't want a rebound and a pull-up layup, but a pull-up dunk after a rebound!

This action sounds incredible, after all, fans have only seen a pull-up dunk before, and Ryan has to bypass the back of the rebound, which is really too difficult.

But in fact, in the original history, the Spanish flyer Fernandez once did this action in the slam dunk contest.

It's just that this is the first time people have seen anyone do this in real combat!

With a loud "boom", Ryan successfully smashed the ball into the basket from behind the rebound!

A rebound after being defended by Garnett and the Sugar Man is bound to go down in history!

The audience was silent for a second, and then the cheers erupted like a volcano!

Mike. Brin had goosebumps all over his body, and his voice became trembling:

"Incredible dunks, incredible physicality! This is simply the most exaggerated actual dunk in NBA history!

Ryan's exaggerated dunk allowed the Nuggets to regain a crucial one-point lead!

Kevin. Garnett and Olovocandi's defense was perfect, but Ryan still scored an impossible goal with his extremely strong body!

The Nuggets have seized on their hopes of winning their first game! ”

On the field, Garnett and Sugar Man looked at each other, as if to say to each other, "Dude, did you just see something 'whoosh' fly over?" ”

Garnett really couldn't believe what he had just been through, he had been in the NBA for many years, and even played against Jordan.

But......

This scene is really the first time he has seen it!

Garnett, who had just been triumphant, now had only horror on his face.

Philip, who was still triumphant just now. Sanders, now hurriedly called a timeout.

Unfortunately, the champion on the other side was stronger than he expected.

Luckily, the Timberwolves still have one last chance to attack!

The Timberwolves took another timeout, and the Nuggets were close to their first win of the season.

The game isn't over yet, though.

Next, Kassel and Garnett, with or without a bag, Bouzdrick still has to make one last choice.

He looked at Ryan, who had just performed a miracle, and clenched his fists.

Otherwise...... Let Ryan be a god today!

So, Buzdrick squatted in front of everyone and looked at Ryan:

"Ryan, next you defend KG! If KG and Cassel play a pick-and-roll, you help Miller to wrap Cassell, force him to pass the ball to Garnett, and then ......"

Before the head coach could finish speaking, Ryan nodded: "Garnett can't shoot, boss!" ”

In the last defense, Ryan will nail the silver cross into the werewolf's chest completely!
