After all, the Nuggets have survived the Rockets. The Timberwolves simulated the Rockets' defense, and they can overcome it after their initial discomfort.

Although Martin was ill with defense, once his mentality was correct, his defensive ability was still there. After defending, Jefferson turned around and grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed the basketball to Billups.

Billups took the ball and turned around to resist Sebastian, and quickly ran towards the Timberwolves' half.

While running towards the opponent's half, Billups shouted Anthony to come over to help him pick-and-roll.

Anthony ran over and blocked Billups. Billups took this opportunity to throw Sebastian away, paused slightly at the three-point line, and raised his hand and made another three-pointer.

"brush!"

Billups made another three-pointer, and Billups made two consecutive three-pointers and scored 6 points.

Previously, George Carl wanted the team to open up the situation from the offensive end, but he just thought of Anthony and JR Smith but did not expect Billups. At this time, Billups used his actions to prove that he was also a player who could change the situation with offense at critical moments.

Billups made two consecutive three-pointers, rewriting the score to 62:65, and the score difference of 9 points was instantly shortened to 3 points.

Billups did change the rhythm of the game with his own offense. Seeing that Billups was so efficient, McHale hurriedly took care of Sebastian on the sidelines to strengthen his defense.

Sebastian was tortured by Billups today. He was beaten in the first quarter. Billups scored again in the third quarter, and Sebastian's fighting spirit also rose.

The score difference was quickly narrowed, and the Nuggets were scoring wildly, which was the most unfavorable to the Timberwolves. You should know that the Nuggets' scoring explosive power is also very strong, so the Timberwolves can't hold on if they make a wave of flowing.

So at this time, the Timberwolves immediately raised their spirits and came over to steadily attack.

The Timberwolves came over and played a misplaced position. Pekovic and Jefferson covered Wang Kai from the high position and sent Wang Kai to the low position to fight Anthony.

Once Wang Kai gets the lead here, he will feel more troublesome. Anthony has sufficient strength, is not slow, and it is a bit difficult to break through the defensively, but once he enters the low post of the interior defense, it is just right.

Wang Kai shook left and right, but there was no chance of shaking it out, so he could only forcibly throw a high throw from the board.

But this ball was not shot, so Anthony also defended Wang Kai. The Nuggets caught the backcourt rebound. Wang Kai came over and told Sebastian immediately: "Don't let me Anthony play low, my breakthrough success rate is high!"

Sebastian nodded repeatedly, hurriedly watched Billups, and the Nuggets were now struck with momentum.

Billups came over and immediately directed the team to set up a formation. At this time, the Nuggets' formation was very relaxed.

Billups got the ball, Anthony and JR Smith all opened to the bottom corner, and Nene and Martin supported each other on the line.

In this way, the space is almost completely given to Billups, and players in both corners can also raid towards the bottom line and use the cover from high positions to catch the ball.

This is a simple and practical position. When Billups was looking at the situation there, Sebastian suffered a loss because he had been. At this time, he came up crazy to steal Billups. Billups was almost stealing by him, so he could only pass the basketball to Nene, who was closest to him, to control it.

Anthony, who was taking the ball from the opposite corner, immediately ran out with Martin's cover. Anthony ran out to receive the ball, but did not rush to attack but immediately passed the basketball back to Billups.

The Nuggets' offense suddenly became patient at this time, which was a very dangerous signal.

Just when McHale was nervous, Anthony went back to give Billups a cover. Billups came up to the penalty area and threw a high throw. The basketball easily got into the Timberwolves' basket.

This time, Billups scored 8 points in a row and rewritten the score to 64:65. The difference between the two teams was one point away.

The Timberwolves are in danger at this moment. Van Gundy also said at this time: "The Nuggets' offense is about to be launched! At this pace, the Timberwolves may suffer."

Billups suddenly made efforts to play out the morale rhythm of the Nuggets. At this time, the Nuggets players stretched out and ran back quickly. At this time, Billups did not forget to instruct his teammates: "I have all watched my defenders, I must watch!"

Billups is still there to help the team stabilize their mentality, and this guy can do both offense and defense, so the Nuggets' defensive enthusiasm has also increased.

The Timberwolves attacked at this time, and did not dare to carelessly at all. Sebastian came over and passed the basketball to Gomez on the wing to support him.

Gomez got the ball here and wanted to pass the basketball to Jefferson in the inside, but Martin tried his best to prevent Jefferson from receiving the ball in the inside.

Martin pressed forward frantically. Jefferson could not receive the ball, and Gomez was not very capable of playing. Go back and pass the basketball to Sebastian.

Sebastian shook the ball with the ball and looked into the inside to see Pekovic was about to cut in, so he quickly passed the ball to him! But just as Sebastian passed the ball, Anthony rushed over from the side and snatched the basketball.

Anthony suddenly made such a steal, and Yang Yi shouted in the country: "I was so careless!"

After the Nuggets made a steal, Anthony did not dribble himself in attack, but turned around and passed it to Billups.

Once Billups gets the ball now, the Timberwolves are really scared. This guy looks simple, but his ability is really very powerful.

Just as Sebastian stared at Billups, Billups was pushing forward, and suddenly a pass was not watching the ball and stuffed the basketball into Anthony, who had already run to the bottom line.

Anthony got the ball at the bottom line, and Wang Kai blocked one side, just when everyone thought Anthony was going to fight one-on-one again.

Anthony suddenly passed the ball to the middle, Nene cut from the middle, and got the ball with a "clang!" and dunked.

At this time, the Nuggets actually played a team basketball and overtook the score. Anthony also passed the ball at a critical moment, giving the Timberwolves a fatal blow.

After his teammates scored, Anthony also found an opportunity, glanced at Wang Kai and said, "How is it! I can play too."

"Then I'll wait for you!" Wang Kai was unwilling to lose, but at this time McHale urgently called a pause.

McHale didn't dare to let the opponent play the rhythm at this time. The Nuggets had a strong ability to score explosively. So when they saw the opponent's rhythm coming, they had a team to play and immediately called a timeout.

When we arrived on the bench, McHale immediately said: "We must delay the Nuggets and cannot let them easily play the rhythm. We must also put some pressure on the ball on the defensive end. When we suppress the opponent, we must play our own soon!"

McHale's request is already overbearing, but this is in the best way to restrain his team.

At this time, Reggie Miller also said: "The Nuggets were suppressed by the Timberwolves in the first half, and finally made a counterattack in the second half! I just see that no team can completely suppress the Nuggets, and the Timberwolves can't!"

"Of course! This is the Nuggets' characteristics! But today's Timberwolves' characteristics have not been shown?" Van Gundy Jr. argued while drinking Reggie Miller.

At this time, the suspension ended. The Timberwolves kicked off the sideline, and the basketball was directly passed to Wang Kai.

Wang Kai got the ball from the outside here, and the Timberwolves immediately opened the space and all the players reached the bottom line.

Because Wang Kai had communicated with his teammates before, he was more likely to break through by playing Anthony. His teammates created all the opportunities, and Wang Kai immediately seized the opportunity and suddenly started to break through and attack the basket with two consecutive crotchs.

Wang Kai can indeed gain a little advantage in his breakthrough against Anthony. Wang Kai's breakthrough so rapidly made him just half of Anthony's body.

In this way, Martin, who was in the inside, could only come over to assist in defense. Once Martin assisted in defense, Jefferson pulled a little to the outside, and the open space came out. Wang Kai passed the ball behind him and Jefferson stepped on the free throw line and made a quick shot from the middle distance.

After the Nuggets launched an attack, the Timberwolves finally fought back. And Wang Kai also changed his strategy to attack Anthony.

The Timberwolves made a successful attack, and the Nuggets immediately controlled the ball and advanced. Once the Nuggets advanced this time, the basketball was passed to Anthony on the wing. At this time, Anthony faced Wang Kai's tentative steps. Wang Kai put it on and did not give him space. He could only dribble and retreat and then suddenly broke into the middle.

At this time, Pekovic was really not experienced. When he came up and wanted to delay, he suddenly hit Anthony. He immediately gave two free throws to the Nuggets! The referee's whistle sounded, Pekovic made a defensive foul, and Anthony went to the free throw line. Anthony made two free throws on the free throw line, so the two teams tied 68:68.

The game ended here and it seemed that the Nuggets caught up with the score in one breath, with an extremely fierce momentum.

But so far, the Timberwolves still had many skills that they had not come up with! The Timberwolves ran over again, and Wang Kai called Pekovic's pick-and-roll with the ball from the outside.

Just now, Wang Kai broke through Anthony and made George Carl realize that Anthony needed help. At this time, he immediately told the team members to go over and help Anthony.

At this moment, Wang Kai and Pekovic interlaced one by one, and then Wang Kai quickly passed the basketball to Pekovic. Pekovic was misplaced at this time, facing Anthony, which was a pure misplaced. It felt comfortable to play against Anthony Pekovic. He took a step to catch the ball, turned around and threw a throw, and scored easily on Anthony's head.

Wang Kai used his breakthrough for two consecutive rounds to create opportunities for his teammates in the inside, making the Nuggets realize the Timberwolves' offensive advantage in the inside.

At this time, the Timberwolves Pekovic and Jefferson on the court both had comprehensive inside offensive skills. As long as Wang Kai opened a gap of one or a half from the outside, both of them could complete the score.

After the Timberwolves played the game further, their efficiency became even higher.

The Nuggets quickly bit and caught up, but they still did not make the Timberwolves offensive and defensive transition. The Timberwolves' position was firmly defended in the half-court.

Under such circumstances, the Nuggets immediately played the half-time game slowly. Before, the Nuggets had a problem of being too hasty in the half-time game, but now Billups is here. It's up to Billups to quickly command the Nuggets' half-time game.

Billups took the ball on the right, and Smith and Martin on the left immediately went up to cover Anthony.

Anthony used the screen to go around quickly, and immediately got up and jumped up to get the ball. Wang Kai was stuck behind by Martin, and could only look at Anthony's Yan and shot Gomez.

The Nuggets are also attacking now. The Nuggets' offense is not complicated now, but it is much better than before. The Nuggets' offense before was really a free attack, but after coming to Billups, he will lead the team to play some simple small cooperation. With these simple small cooperation, the Nuggets' scoring efficiency can be greatly improved.

The Timberwolves scored just now, and now the Nuggets also scored immediately. Both teams seem to have a trend of opening up in offense.

The Timberwolves ran over again. The tactics they played were almost the same as before. They both opened the top of the arc and allowed Wang Kai to break through, and then stood at the bottom line and were ready to run out to catch the ball at any time.

Wang Kai also made a breakthrough at this time and passed the ball to Jefferson, but the Nuggets were not stupid at this time. After being hit twice in a row, the rotation was much faster, and Jefferson got the ball and the opponent's defense arrived.

So Jefferson hurriedly wanted to stuff the basketball into the Nuggets' inside line, but the basketball flew out and was stolen by the Nuggets.

After the Nuggets intercepted, Billups broke through Sebastian all the way, attracting defense to Smith who suddenly passed the ball to the outside. Smith shot a three-pointer with a large open space, but Smith really didn't draw today. The basketball shot failed to make a three-pointer!

After scoring consecutive points, the two teams missed offensively, but this time Wang Kai was lucky.

The ball that Smith threw just reached Wang Kai's hand. After Wang Kai took the ball, he quickly came to the Nuggets' half.

At this time, Wang Kai's advantage over Anthony came. Anthony was very versatile in the offense in half, but his speed was not very sufficient in the offense in the whole game.

Wang Kai rushed up, and he followed Wang Kai in a difficult situation from behind. Wang Kai broke through quickly, disrupting the opponent's defense, and then threw the basketball at Sebastian who followed behind.

Sebastian came up and asked a small mid-range shot to win!

In terms of offense and defense conversion, Wang Kai's efficiency is worse than the opponent! Bilups' destructive power is not as good as Wang Kai, and Anthony's speed is not as good as Wang Kai. Although the Nuggets claim to be powerful in fast attacks, their absolute speed may not be stronger than the Timberwolves.

At this time, the two teams gradually entered the offensive battle and entered the rhythm that the Nuggets liked. At this time, they were also excited.

JR Smith quickly dribbled the ball to the opponent's half, and then immediately passed the ball to Nene who was running over. Nene took the ball and Billups ran from Nene, handed the ball with his hands and made a breakthrough. Billups made a breakthrough, and the Timberwolves immediately doubled the ball. Billups immediately passed the ball to JR Smith on the outside, but Smith took a three-pointer again, but this guy missed the three-pointer again.

JR Smith wasted two large open spaces in a row, and most Timberwolves fans were relieved.

JR Smith is not in a state of excitement, and the Nuggets' offensive firepower is reduced by one third today. When George Carl saw that Smith was really disrespectful, he immediately waved his hand to let Creza stand up. Creza could barely play No. 2. At this time, since Smith couldn't even control the open shot, he could only let Creza.

On the court, JR Smith missed the shot again, but the basketball fell into Gomez's hands.

Gomez turned around and passed the ball to Sebastian. At this time, Sebastian took the ball and saw that all the Nuggets were paying attention to Wang Kai. He took the ball and came quickly towards the Nuggets' half. When Billups noticed Sebastian, Sebastian had already given Billups past.

Smith went up to defend Sebastian to the death. Sebastian turned his head and passed the basketball to Wang Kai who was protecting him.

Wang Kai easily shot from the side with the ball, and the Timberwolves grabbed the Nuggets in a row and made two offensive and defensive transitions.

The Timberwolves are not as weak as the Nuggets, and they are even more fatal than the Nuggets, and the score difference is slightly widened.
