I'm the boss in the NBA

Chapter 267 Fighting the Wolf
Stoudemire hopes to win Garnett with the help of Su Yi. This is understandable. If Su Yi has such a lifelong enemy, he will choose to fight him without hesitation. Set yourself a goal and be brave enough to overcome it.

However, Su Yi didn't think the current Stoudemire would be Garnett's opponent, but with the team's support, it would be different. Su Yi didn't believe that the Timberwolves could allow him to shoot open shots without double-teaming.

On the night of December 12th, the Nuggets arrived in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the afternoon, they will challenge the Timberwolves away at the Target Center Arena. This season, the Timberwolves temporarily achieved 17 wins and 16 losses, ranking No. Three, at the beginning of the season, they also occupied the second place in the Western Conference for a long time, second only to the San Antonio Spurs who ranked first.

This is much stronger than Su Yi's Nuggets team. Although the Rockets have defeated many powerful enemies recently, no one believes that the Nuggets can beat the Timberwolves. At least in the eyes of those "sighted people", Garnett is Can firmly suppress the Nuggets' Stoudemire.

Su Yi also paid attention to the current situation of the Rockets before the game. The Rockets went through a hard fight yesterday, and finally won the game thanks to Kobe's explosive final quarter. In this game, the Rockets faced the Detroit Pistons, the No. Team.

In this game, the Rockets' new aid, Kwame Brown, who just joined the Rockets, performed well. At least he withstood the pressure of Ben Wallace for Dayao, allowing Dayao to easily shoot in the middle distance without having to fight with him. Daben, the iron-blooded insider, went tough.

The Rockets defeated a strong enemy in the East, and their opponent on the Nuggets side is also tough enough, it is really not that simple to win.

Thinking of that Kobe Bryant who went out to practice at four o'clock in the morning, Su Yi felt that he was under a lot of pressure. In the Rockets, he still had Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, to rely on. Now?He has become someone's reliance, how to let the team win but also let Stoudemire play well, the data should be more beautiful, and it must beat Garnett.

To win the game, to help his teammates soar points, and to suppress the opponent's star player, Su Yi's heart is so tired!
After arriving at the arena, Su Yi was called aside by head coach D'Antoni.

The whole Nuggets team attached great importance to this game. This is not just the personal thoughts of Su Yi and Stoudemire. If the Nuggets can make it to the playoffs, their ranking will not be too high, and there is a high probability that the opponent will be The Timberwolves are a top-ranked team.

But it is not so easy to win. Coach D'Antoni has to consider how to restrain Garnett of the Timberwolves. The main emphasis in the morning tactical meeting is still the same old way, relying on the Nuggets' offense and the Timberwolves' bayonet.

But coach D'Antoni is not sure whether the Timberwolves can be overwhelmed by offense alone. Coach D'Antoni was surprised when he defeated the Lakers last time, but it was a fluke to win. Can he get such a good match again? He really has no idea about his luck.

"Su Yi, I heard that you promised Stoudemire in this game to help him get better data than Garnett. Don't worry, no matter whether the team wins or loses, I will support you. If you can help Stoudemire It is best to win the scoring champion, if not, don’t be too entangled, I will do his job after the game.”

Coach D'Antoni was also uncertain. He was very afraid that if Stoudemire lost the game, or if Stoudemire's statistics were not as high as Garnett's, Su Yi and Stoudemire would have a rift, and the team would only have two or three star players. It would be the team's loss if they all got into a row.

"Thank you, coach. I will do my best. If I really can't do it, I won't affect the interests of the team for someone." How could Su Yi not know what coach D'Antoni meant.

"I think I can do it. Our goal this season is not just to enter the playoffs. We will go further. I still have to fight Kobe!" Su Yi said firmly after a little silence.

If it was him who wanted to win the scoring championship, Su Yi had [-] points of confidence, but he really didn't have much confidence in helping Stoudemire to win the scoring championship.

Coach D'Antoni is now very dependent on Su Yi. He knows Su Yi's strength well and believes that Su Yi will bring the team into the playoffs.

"Come on at night, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Thank you, Mr. Coach."

Before the game, Garnett blatantly claimed in front of the media that he was the strongest power forward in the league. To be honest, Su Yi thought that Garnett had blown away the bullshit. Unconvinced, he said where Garnett put Duncan and Nowitzki. Presumably Randolph, who is far away in Houston, would not agree after hearing it. Garnett's big mouth was offended. There are a lot of forward players in the league.

At 6:40 p.m., after the Nuggets players entered the court, Stoudemire looked at Garnett, who had a fierce face, as if he was looking at an enemy.

The fans at the scene cheered loudly for Garnett, but booed the Nuggets players.

During the warm-up time before the game, Su Yi ran half of the court to shoot consecutively. Although he promised to help Stoudemire get the stats in this game, if he didn't feel good enough, he couldn't create opportunities for Stoudemire!

More than ten minutes later, Su Yi returned to the court with his teammates. Stoudemire and Garnett arrived at the center circle after the referee's signal, ready to jump the ball.

The starting lineup of the Nuggets is the five-man group of Su Yi, Prince, Marion, Marcus Camby, and Stoudemire.

This was a slight change from the Nuggets' previous small-ball lineup, and against a defensive lineup like the Timberwolves, as far as Su Yi knew, the Timberwolves' lineup was excellent on both offense and defense.

Especially Garnett, this top forward who can go to the basket to withstand most center players, is really not in vain.

Timberwolves' starting lineup is Troy Hudson, Rasu Nesterovic, Wally Szczerbiak, Kevin Garnett, Joe Smith.

When jumping the ball, Garnett touched the basketball first and pushed the basketball behind him. The jumping ability that Stoudemire is usually famous for met his opponent. After the start of the season, most of Stoudemire's jump balls were successful. It seems He had another player who could stop him.

"Boy, it seems that you are not doing well! Hehe!" Garnett didn't look excited about winning the jump ball. His mentality was as relaxed as stepping over a small rock.

"Isn't it just winning a jump ball? If you don't know how many points you have scored! Don't underestimate people, I will beat you in this game, and I will let you know how good I am Stoudemire." Stoudemire He clenched his fists at Garnett in protest.

"Hehe, it's just you who want to beat me. Let's talk about it in ten years. Now is not the time for you, a rookie, to show off. Who can speak big words? Let me see your strength!" Garnett said in the penalty area. After receiving a pass from Troy, he turned around and made a shot, making the first move.
