Chapter 607 The Fire of Denver

Denver Nuggets, one of the league's best youth guards.

Leaving aside the Bobcats in the East, Denver has assembled a very good lineup.

On the outside, there is a young core like Anthony, and there are also veterans like Iverson who are not old; the configuration of the inside is not bad.

No matter how you look at it, this is a team with a bright future.

That is, combat power, experience, and potential are all available.

It's a pity that they are in the chaotic west, and it is difficult to take the lead.

With the same record, they rank eighth in the West and fifth in the East.

In the Nuggets' Timberwolves series, the outside world, without exception, all believe that the Timberwolves can easily win.

The talent of the Nuggets may cause some troubles for the Timberwolves, but the final winner must be the Timberwolves.

"Although the Timberwolves have a great chance of winning, the NBA is a place where miracles happen after all. Let's see if a miracle happens tonight."

Marv Albert's commentary made the Nuggets very unhappy. What is a miracle?Is it necessary to describe a game against the Timberwolves as a miracle?It's too contemptuous of people!
Albert's partner is a special guest, Warriors legend Chris Mullin.

It stands to reason that Mullin should go to explain the Warriors game.

Even Mullin himself thought so: "I should go to explain the game between Golden State and Dallas, but unfortunately there are already full seats and there is no room for me."

Albert smiled and said, "You won't be disappointed, the game here is definitely more exciting than there."

Mullin has no objection to this point. The leading players of the Timberwolves and the Nuggets are the type of players who are gorgeous and chic, and people are excited when they see it.

The referee came to the middle, ready to serve.

Olowokandi and Camby jumped the ball, and Camby, who had better bounce, took the ball.

The ball was picked up by Steve Blake, who pushed forward and passed the ball into Iverson's hands.

It was Battier who was defending Iverson.

But who told Iverson to play shooting guard?
Battier played shooting guard in the Timberwolves, and Bai Jidong had to defend Anthony, so Battier could only be wronged.

Iverson was as nimble as an elf, making gestures back and forth, changing directions from left to right, shaking Battier and breaking inward.

Garnett's defense stuck up, and Iverson immediately passed to the open Camby.

Camby made a high jumper and made it.Iverson is still Iverson.

The days in Denver made him happy. Here, there is like-minded Anthony and a group of teammates who are equally passionate. The seemingly luxurious lineup makes him full of hope.

He shot the second-highest 45% shooting percentage of his career. At 32 years old, he averaged 26 points per game.

At the end of the season, he was also elected as the best player of the week, helping the team get 45 wins, advance to the playoffs, and face the Timberwolves in the playoffs for the first time in his career.

Standing opposite him was the most successful player of their generation - White Wolf.

Bai Weidong dribbled the ball across halftime and passed it to Ukic.

"Take your time, Rocco, play your rhythm, don't think too much."

Olowokandi leaned against Nene, trying to force him.

Ukic passed the ball and stood opposite Olowokandi, allowing Olowokandi to attack with peace of mind.If they're going to double-team, just pass the ball out.

Olowokandi's back-hitting wasn't smooth enough, or it wasn't decisive enough, and he didn't have the "fuck you all" momentum.

Halfway through the top, Blake had the intention of double-teaming, which made Olowokandi fall into the hesitation of "passing or going strong".

Hesitation is the easiest thing to do. By the time Olowokandi thinks it through, the opportunity has already slipped away from him.

The No. 98 pick in the [-] class chose to defend the dignity of the No. [-] pick. He wanted to eat Nene, but his upper body was so heavy that the opponent couldn't move, and he stiffly used a hook.

Such a hook will not be scored when the heat is hot, and Camby protects the rebound and allows Iverson to advance.

It is too difficult for Battier to keep up with Iverson, and the Timberwolves have only one person who can keep up with him.

Seeing Bai Jidong, Iverson snorted coldly: "You said we are easier to deal with than Jinzhou? These are your exact words, right?"

"That's right."

Before Bai had finished speaking, Iverson attacked.

"Ah Fu, your temper is still so violent!" Bai Jidong complained.

Iverson changed direction like a whirlwind. The whole world knew that he was going to swing left and right, but few could keep up with his rhythm.

Bai Jidong couldn't stop him from intruding, so he could only stick to him.

Bai Jidong can be said to be Iverson's natural enemy. His speed is not bad, his defense is extremely strong, and his height is dozens of centimeters taller.

When being guarded, helpers are very important.

Iverson is not the only firepower output of the Nuggets, there is also a younger Anthony.

Iverson threw the ball into Anthony's hands. Anthony, who received the ball, didn't even look at Battier.

"Man, you can't guard me."

"White Wolf, maybe this defense is more appropriate." Battier suggested.

"I'm worried that you will be blown away by him." Bai Jidong honestly expressed his thoughts.

There was no fluctuation in Battier's heart, but he just wanted to beat Bai Jidong a little bit.

"I may not be cast to death by Cameron, but I will definitely be run to death by AI."

"Okay, okay, it's really troublesome, I'll leave it to you, Xiaotiantian." Bai Jidong said.

Anthony's smile is so sweet that Chinese fans gave him the appropriate nickname "Melon".

Bai Jidong is not so elegant, what kind of melon is called, how appropriate is it to be called Xiao Tiantian?
Anthony strongly opposed this nickname, just as Iverson opposed Bai Jidong calling him "Ah Fu".

Their opposition is feeble, as long as Bai Jidong opens his mouth, the whole alliance will accept this nickname.

"Denver actually went 4-0 to start, which is really unexpected," Albert said.

Mullin said with a smile: "Currently, they are performing normally. Denver relies on two shots in the backcourt to score points. Minnesota has not yet entered the rhythm of the game. Let us continue to watch."

"Yes, I am looking forward to what Minnesota can do when it enters the state." Albert said.

The Timberwolves got off to a tight start, and it showed in everyone.

First, Olowokandi couldn't score in singles, and then Ukic couldn't make a pick-and-roll shot.

This is something that shouldn't happen, Ukic looked at his palm in annoyance, and really hoped that he didn't throw this ball.

How embarrassing, as an NBA player, the pull-up jumper actually made a three-point shot.

"Penny, get ready."

For the defenders on the field, Casey doesn't have much patience. Whenever something goes wrong, he asks others to prepare for replacements.

It's brutal for the players, so every defender comes on with a lot of pressure. (Hardaway's old fritters are not included in this list)
Hearing the coach's call, Hardaway stretched his waist and took off his uniform.

Most of the Nuggets' offense came from Iverson and Anthony's individual singles. The two of them were responsible for the offense, diverted the attention of others, and passed the ball out whenever they had the opportunity.

This is the basic tactic. If the Timberwolves do not double-team, it will be a good one-on-one opportunity for a scorer of their level, just attack directly.

The Timberwolves made up their minds not to double-team, Anthony played Battier, and his physique was similar.

But Anthony's offensive skills are rich, and Battier is not easy to defend.

Shane Battier's defense did a good job, and Anthony was guarded to death.

In the last ten seconds, Anthony passed the ball to Iverson at the top of the arc.

The moment Iverson took the ball, it was like a spring popped out. Bai Jidong didn't react and was completely broken through.

This speed is so fast that Garnett has no time to help defend.

Iverson was like a galloping lightning, piercing through the two most solid gates of the Timberwolves in one fell swoop, rushing to the basket, and facing Olowokandi's blocking throw to score.

This goal allowed the Nuggets to score 6 points, and the Timberwolves still failed to break the embarrassment of 0 points.

Hardaway stood on the sidelines, and Ukic's emotions were greatly affected.

"The replacement was too fast."

Bai Jidong couldn't help shaking his head, Casey was too strict with the guards.

In the first playoffs, it's normal to play tight, and you can't let no mistakes be made, everyone will make mistakes.

Bai Jidong decided to help a group of Ukic.

"Rocco, come my way."

"OK!" Ukic wanted to play the best performance in the limited playing time.

Bai Weidong's pick-and-roll is extremely strong, not weaker than the inside line, and Blake is firmly stuck outside by him.

Afterwards, Ukic accelerated his breakthrough and threw everything out, no matter what, no matter what, as long as the goal was scored.

When Camby blocked the shot, Ukic dodged the bar and made a basket.

The fans at the scene howled and praised Ukic's pull-up layup.

"Coach, I think he can be allowed to play for a while. Young people need to play more games, otherwise how will they grow?"

In fact, Hardaway just didn't want to play so soon, and people always like to be lazy.

Casey thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then you can rest for a while."

Ukic's performance picked up, some people were happy and some were worried.

Hardaway is happy that he doesn't have to play, but Spanoulis is worried.

The Greeks and the Croats are in a competitive relationship, and the relationship between the two is not good. As long as they sit off the court, they all hope that the other side will play bad shots.

Ukic's good performance is not a good thing for Spanoulis.

When Ukic saw Hardaway leave the sidelines, he knew that Casey had taken back his life and was overjoyed.

"bring it on!"

"Roco, this is the momentum, don't forget." Bai Jidong said.

"OK!"

Ukic's gratitude to Bai Jidong cannot be expressed in words. When he learned that he was coming to the Timberwolves to become teammates with Bai Jidong, he was a little panicked.

He had heard a lot about Bai Jidong's rumors.

Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Bai Jidong is not as bad as the rumors say.

From the perspective of teammates, everyone hopes to have teammates like him.

Conscientious, willing to share, dare to take responsibility, reassuring.

As a teammate with such a player, Ukic can only work harder so as not to hold him back.

"It seems that the Timberwolves have recovered. Roko Ukic's offense has allowed them to find the feeling of the game. It's amazing. It's just an offense."

"This is the benefit of chemical reactions. An excellent team must not only have strong strength, but also have a deep understanding. The Timberwolves have both."
