NBA: Garnett at his peak at the start

The two sides are still playing very anxiously, although the Lakers are the second game of a back-to-back, but with Qi Ming, who has enough physical strength, they can still stabilize the situation.

The Timberwolves are purely good in hand and have a physical advantage.

However, the defense of both sides is very strong, and this defensive intensity is already comparable to that of the playoffs.

"Come on, Wolf King!".

“MVP！"

"Kevin, buckle that Chinese man!".

The Timberwolves' home court erupted in cheers, and Garnett is really extremely versatile, and since he is attacking, he can also send wonderful passes at critical moments.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two sides was tied, and the score was only 22:22......

It doesn't even add up to 45 points.

This is a kind of low score, and usually this kind of low score only happens when playing against strong defensive teams, such as the Pistons and Spurs, and playing against these two teams is really boring.

That's why last season's Finals ratings were unusually low.

Qi has scored 4 points and 2 rebounds, although the data is average, but it is very good to get such data in four minutes. "

After all, his opponent is Kevin Garnett, a top-three superpower forward in the league. "

"But I'm still more optimistic about the Timberwolves, they have more physical strength, and now that the first quarter is over, the Lakers' starters are full of fatigue, and the Timberwolves have a certain physical advantage. "

Barkley analyzed.

Kenny Smith next to him was unimpressed, and he said lightly: "Not necessarily, the Lakers who have Kobe Bryant...... I think when it comes to playing at a certain point, it can play with any team. "

"What's more, there is an element of uncertainty on the field...... Qi!".

"Qi's playing time has been hovering between 20-30 minutes, and I think we can increase Qi's playing time appropriately and let him play 30 minutes, or even 40 minutes. "

"So the Lakers still have some hope to win the game. "

"Back-to-back is never a problem for a strong team. "

......

After the coaches of both sides laid out their tactics on the sidelines, the players of both sides were soon on the pitch.

In the first four minutes of the second quarter, both sides were on the bench lineup, but the Lakers with Qi Ming played better, and the Timberwolves' bench players were played by Qi Ming.

And the Timberwolves' backup power forward Eddie Griffin was completely blown up by Qi Ming.

In these four minutes, Qi Ming was like a god, cutting down 6 points, 3 rebounds and 1 block.

This was also a surprise to the Timberwolves coach, who immediately put Garnett, Hassel, and Szzerbiak on the court.

The quarterback was replaced by McCantz, and Griffin stepped into the center position.

The Lakers' side also changed lineups, and the center position was changed to Bynum, because the first and second quarters were combined...... He played 6 minutes, scored 4 points and 2 rebounds, and his performance was okay.

If Bynum performs well, he will definitely become the Lakers' starting center in the future.

And Qi Ming also knew what he would become in the future, so he did not object to the Zen master's decision.

As soon as he got on the court, Garnett opened fire in the neutral zone and sent the ball into the frame with a long-range mid-range shot.

Then, Qi Ming was not to be outdone, he faced Garnett is a split, but Garnett couldn't stop him, and he couldn't cover this ball at all.

The Lakers' lead is still seven points away.

"Kevin, come on!".

"Kevin, come on!".

"Kevin, come on!".

However, these shouts, banners, and posters were like adding a buff to Garnett, and he actually chose to shoot a three-pointer when he was unguarded, and he scored!

Then, Garnett began to score like crazy, back-to-back, break-throughs, and he took what he wanted, and no one could stop him from scoring when a supergiant exploded.

Including Qi Ming'......

The second quarter ended quickly, and the Timberwolves temporarily trailed by one point at 46:47.

The half-time break was long, and Qi Ming sat quietly on the bench, he was still not satisfied with his performance.

14 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block, he played a bit badly in the second half of the second quarter.

The system gives him a certain ability, but he still has to grasp the feel and mentality.

Kobe's hand is worse than him, this Kobe Bryant really has a sense of "Iron King" direct vision, after three games of madness, his hand has disappeared.

On 3-of-11 shooting, Bryant shot just 27 percent from the half, compared to the average of 50 percent shooting in the previous three games, which is really a bit unsatisfactory.

However, Qi Ming knows Kobe Bryant very well, and even if his hand is bad, he will still choose to shoot...... Because that's the confidence of a superstar.

They always believe that their next shot will go in!

Qi Ming is still a little away from such a mentality.

However, he has just entered the NBA, and his mentality can be cultivated slowly, after all, he can't eat hot tofu ...... in a hurry
