Chapter 99 Against Timberwolves

By 6:15 in the afternoon, the Grizzlies' away game against the Timberwolves was about to begin, and players from both teams had already entered the field.

After the final shooting warm-up, players from both sides appeared one after another, and the Grizzlies' starting lineup was adjusted.

Because Nelson rested Eddie Jones in this game, the Grizzlies played Monta Ellis in the starting position.

At the same time, in order to guard against Garnett, the Grizzlies mentioned Gasol as a power forward, and replaced the 2-meter Jack Chakalidis at the center.

The Timberwolves have been changing lineups in recent games due to the 7-man trade, and today their starting lineup is .

Point guard: Marcus Banks, shooting guard: Trenton Hassel, small forward: Ricky Davis, power forward: Kevin Garnett, center: Mark Blunt.

The whistle sounded and the game officially started, when the fans suddenly let out a wave of excitement.

Yang Zhan looked up, and it turned out that the Timberwolves jumped the ball into Garnett, who was going to die from the very beginning.

Looking at Garnett on the opposite side, Gasol also put in a lot of effort when jumping the ball, but it's a pity that his athleticism, height and wingspan cannot be compensated by passion.

Garnett succeeded in jumping the ball, the Timberwolves got the first chance to attack, and the fans cheered again.

Marcus Banks controlled the ball to the frontcourt. This man was also the bargaining chip in the original 7-man deal. He was the 03th pick in the first round of the 13 generation. He was a 1 meter offensive point guard.

But obviously he also knew that he was not the protagonist of this game. Of course, he looked at Yang Zhan who was so big on the opposite side, and he didn't have any desire to attack.

When all the players were in position, Banks lobbed it to Garnett who asked for the ball in the low post.And it was Pau Gasol who was defending him. Not surprisingly, the matchup between the two would last for a whole game.

After receiving the ball, Garnett began to exert his strength. Looking at the posture, he was definitely going to play singles, but even if he understood, no one from the Grizzlies stepped forward to double-team.

After all, this is a battle between the two. At this time, Garnett started to hit back, hit it twice, and then shook his shoulder and stepped back for a jumper.

Although Gasol tried hard to defend, Garnett's fadeaway jumper is really a must among big men.

brush! 2 hits!The fans cheered enthusiastically. After all, among the highlights of this game, their own star won this attack.

Yang Zhan took the ball to the frontcourt. Although the 1-meter point guard made Yang Zhan very eager to play singles, he was still a sensible person, and he lobbed the ball to Gasol, who was demanding in the low post.

However, Gasol is weak in playing such a player, and his physical fitness and athletic talent cannot be changed, except of course Yang Zhan, who is a bad guy.

And Garnett is indeed constantly confronting Pau Gasol physically, and the latter can only use cleverness in the fruitless attack.

But it's a pity that the footsteps couldn't shake Garnett away, and in the end he could only forcefully lean back and shoot, but it seems that Gasol feels pretty good today.

With such a defense, he actually came into the net with a hollow, and judging from the visual effect, it was the same answer ball.

The score came to a 2-2 tie, and both sides scored one at the beginning.

As time passed, the situation on the court still had no tactics. It was always two big men playing singles, and everyone else became spectators.

Garnett is really versatile. Even if he misses a shot, he can grab 2 rebounds, but Gasol's touch is really good.

Both sides have scoring means, so the scores of the two teams have been deadlocked, with about 5 minutes left in the first quarter.

Garnett turned around and went inside, causing a foul by Jack Chakalidis, who came to defend.

Nelson also took the opportunity to replace Yang Zhan with Brian Cardinal, and the Timberwolves also replaced Ricky Davis with Rashad McCants.
