NBA: Legendary coach signs with league for 10 years

During the break in the last quarter,

Garnett took the Gatorade from his teammate and wiped his sweat with a towel.

After Garnett wiped the dry towel, it looked like it had been soaked in water.

""How is it, can you still hold on?"

Sanders asked in front of Garnett after seeing it.

Garnett nodded without saying anything.

His physical strength, even now, is no problem to hold on to the fourth quarter, but the impact of physical strength is still there.

Although the Nuggets' inside players are not particularly outstanding, it is still a bit too much for him to take turns to fight him. Especially Camby, who was playing one-for-one with him, which made him much more tired than usual.

In fact, seeing Garnett's state, Sanders suddenly understood something.

He wanted to establish an advantage in the first three quarters and enter the last quarter with a leading score. The morale of the entire team will be very different in all aspects.

It's just that now he has realized that the third quarter is very important, but the current situation is that the third quarter did not end the game.

A 7-point advantage is not small, but it is not big either.

The last quarter is the time for the real competition in this game.

For the current NBA, the playoffs are still relatively competitive with superstars, especially in the last quarter.

At the critical moment, the referee will not blow the whistle easily, and the scale of the penalty will be relatively loose.

This also leads to the fact that it is difficult for ordinary players to score according to conventional tactics.

Moreover, at this time, everyone's physical strength has dropped sharply, and only superstars can score some key goals when their physical strength has dropped.

In the last quarter, the energy of both teams will be focused on defense, and the offense will basically rely on the stars.

Tactics are actually not that important at this time.

"Garnett's physical strength is seriously depleted, but the Nuggets don't have a superstar who can perform in the last quarter."

Saunders thought of this and felt a little calmer.

Even if Garnett couldn't carry the burden in the last quarter, the Timberwolves still had Cassell, the second-team guard in the All-NBA Team, and Sprewell and Szczerbiak could also provide firepower.

On the contrary, the Nuggets had a group of civilian players and no superstar who could really explode.......

In the fourth quarter, the Timberwolves played their entire starting lineup, and the Nuggets also played their starting lineup, but Boykins was replaced by Miller.

Leonard's touch was sparse, but Barry's touch was a little hot.

So Wang Chen still didn't use Leonard, which made many people confused.

But whether you understand it or not, Wang Chen arranged it this way.

Garnett still played very hard.

But compared with the previous performance, it was simply that he had the will but not the strength, whether it was the weakness on the offensive end or the inability to provide high-intensity confrontation on the defensive end.

Wang Chen did not immediately make a ruthless move, but just let Miller pass the ball to Anderson and Nene.

With the beastly bond, Nene and Anderson fought against the tired Garnett, almost destroying the Timberwolves' defense.

Although the bond bonus would be less without Boykins, in the last quarter, it was a defense fight, and Miller had to play for passing and controlling.

With Miller threading the needle, both Nene and Anderson were activated.

Nuggets 85:86 Timberwolves

With Nene's mid-range shot, the score was only one point behind.

Beep!

Sanders finally couldn't stand it anymore and replaced Garnett. The exhausted Garnett's strength was at least reduced by half.

The Timberwolves replaced another blue-collar center, so the Timberwolves had a combination of two blue-collar inside players.

Another round passed.

Nuggets 87:88 Timberwolves

Anthony chased and hit a mid-range shot, very excited.

Beep

"All right, it's finally done."

Seeing Anthony's hands getting hot, Wang Chen used the super timeout directly.

Anthony's hands were already hot at the beginning of the last quarter, but Wang Chen nurtured it again.

Anthony played very uncomfortably throughout the game, and he only scored 12 points so far. He usually took open shots or made small interference shots after attracting the attention of his teammates, doing the work of a tool man.

If Wang Chen hadn't promised him before the game that he would definitely give him a chance to play one-on-one, Anthony would have been upset long ago.

Hearing Wang Chen arrange the one-on-one tactics for him, the excitement in Anthony's eyes was already burning.

Wang Chen naturally gave Anthony the attribute of this super timeout, the single-item enhancement.

Next, let Anthony, who had been nurtured for a whole game, take over the game.

"I wonder how many levels of power this wave of hand feel and single attribute bonus has."

Wang Chen became curious. Have fun reading on May Day! Recharge 100 and get 500 VIP points!
