legendary point guard

When the plane arrived in Denver, Lin Sen was on the plateau for the first time.

Despite the physical fitness of an athlete, I was still a little uncomfortable the moment I got off the plane.

The game against the Denver Nuggets will start at [-] o'clock tomorrow night, and the Timberwolves will have a rest day.

The Denver Nuggets have embarked on a renaissance since drafting the darling Carmelo Anthony in 2003.

Back then, Anthony and James were favored by David Stern, but Anthony's poor off-court gradually made him lose in the competition with James, but despite this, Anthony has won three consecutive games since the first season. Leading the Nuggets to the playoffs.

But what embarrasses Anthony is that they have been eliminated in the first round for three consecutive years. Due to the change of league rules, the Nuggets will no longer rely on the weak strength of their division to get the third place by luck like last season.

Therefore, in the new season, the Nuggets must work hard to fight for the record, and the Nuggets uniform team also made great efforts during the offseason, not only retaining the core of the team, but also trading for jr with unlimited potential · Smith.

In the new season, Jr. Smith also used his performance to tell everyone how correct it was for the Nuggets to trade him. In the 8 games represented by the Nuggets, Jr. Smith could contribute 12 points per game as a substitute, especially his three The points and dunks were impressive.

The Nuggets also have Marcus Camby and the Brazilian Nene in charge of rebounding and defense at the center, and at the power forward position there are beast power forward Kenyon Martin who has returned from injury and Reggie Evans, a rebounding idiot. .

Although the small forward position looks weak, Melo alone can make Hassell in a tragic state all night.

What Lin Sen needs to face is Andre Miller, a well-known iron man in the league. Although he is not an All-Star as a point guard, his strength is unquestionable, especially his full tonnage.

Nelson, who was far away in San Francisco, turned on the TV and found the Denver Cable TV station, which will broadcast the game between the Denver Nuggets and the Timberwolves tonight.

Old Nelson didn't expect Lin Sen to perform well, he expected Lin Sen to perform poorly.

Even if the Warriors offered two rich trading plans, only Lin Sen's continuous poor performance would make the Timberwolves' uniform team completely determined. He knew that the Timberwolves would not agree to the Warriors' trade plan for a while.

When the game started, the Timberwolves fell into helplessness. The insider Nene and Kenyon Martin made Garnett's offense very difficult, and Camby and Reggie Evans took turns on the bench. .

In the first quarter, although Garnett stepped to the free throw line and hit six of the eight free throws, the five fouls he caused were not on the same person, especially the main players only fouled once.

In addition to free throws, Garnett's offensive efficiency is not high, only 6 of 2 shots in the first quarter.

And Lin Sen also performed averagely. The Nuggets' defense is relatively poor in the entire league, but this is also related to George Karl's tactics, but the Nuggets' defense against the weak Timberwolves is not bad.

Although Andre Miller's footsteps are not fast, he constantly uses his body to force Linson, coupled with JR Smith's quick defense, which is very similar to the Warriors' tactics in defending Linson.

However, with the experience of the previous game, Lin Sen also found some ways to play, but it was not completely resolved, so Lin Sen's performance at the end of the first quarter was far from meeting the expectations of Timberwolves fans.

The Timberwolves were overwhelmed by the Nuggets on the defensive end. Except for Garnett on the inside who can play a defensive role, everyone else is almost passive.

Lin Sen once again experienced the feeling of being hit by a big butt. Old Nelson looked at Lin Sen on the screen with a smile.

In the box of the Pepsi Center, Kevin McHale kept frowning. After communicating with Devon Casey, he decided to observe for a while.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Lin Sen did not take a break but continued to play, and George Karl also left jr Smith on the court.

After Linsen hit Anthony Carter's defensive breakthrough throw, JR Smith turned around and made a chasing three-pointer.

And Lin Sen was not to be outdone, and directly hit a three-pointer in front of Anthony Carter, giving JR Smith a powerful counterattack.

But jr. Smith is obviously in a state of convulsions, and also scored consecutively.

The direct result of Lin Sen's outbreak did not help the Timberwolves reduce the score to single digits.

When the first half ended, the Timberwolves trailed the Nuggets at home by as many as 17 points.

In the second half of the game, the Timberwolves did not find a good opportunity. More offenses still revolved around the duo of Linsen and Garnett, but the failure of the defensive end made it impossible for the Timberwolves to counter effectively.

Devin Casey looked at the big screen helplessly, 123:100 was so dazzling.

The last home loss to the Golden State Warriors was 18 points, and this time they lost to the Nuggets by 23 points. Two consecutive big-score losses shattered Devin Casey's beautiful fantasy in the first six games of the season.

Old Nelson turned off the TV with a smile, already thinking about how to make Lin Sen better.

Garnett walked directly into the player tunnel, and Lin Sen followed closely behind.

Like Devin Casey, both Garnett and Linsson were blinded by their stellar start to the season.

boom!

Lin Sen was stunned, and stared blankly at Garnett's punch that slammed into the locker room wall.

Opening his mouth, Lin Sen wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start. He lowered his head and took off the armguard on his arm.

Garnett also realized that there was still Lin Sen in the locker room. When he turned around, he saw Lin Sen with his head down, looking a little disappointed.

"He's still just a rookie." Garnett sighed in his heart, and before he knew it, he realized that his expectations of Lin Sen had become normal, but in fact Lin Sen was still a man with a lot of shortcomings. rookie.

Lin Sen also felt Garnett staring at him, and raised his head to meet Garnett's gaze.

Neither of the two spoke, but they could clearly see the unwillingness to lose in each other's eyes.

"I will work harder!"

Lin Sen opened his mouth, his tone extremely firm.

Garnett nodded: "As long as you work hard, in fact, you have already done a good job."

"But it's not enough, is it?"

Lin Sen stood up, opened the locker, picked up his things and walked into the bathroom.

Turn on the water to the maximum and let the water wash over your body.

If you only look at the data of 18 points, 9 assists, 2 rebound and [-] steals, Lin Sen's performance is beyond doubt, but the data does not represent the performance on the court.

The Timberwolves flew to Memphis overnight. The Timberwolves, who had lost two games in a row, urgently needed a victory to regain morale.
