Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 132 First in the West
After the game against the Bucks, Da Zhuang found that the system seemed to be back to normal again.

在三月份余下的10场比赛中，森林狼取得了9胜1负的战绩，唯一输掉的一场比赛就是在3月20日对阵火箭的比赛中。

Even with two red buffs, the Timberwolves still couldn't stop the explosive Harden and Lin Crazy.

These two people are simply stronger than Da Zhuang's buff blessing. The two scored 84 points in the whole game. Harden played 40 minutes and contributed a luxurious data of 58 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.

And Lin Crazy also played his best game after joining the Rockets, scoring a double-double of 33 points and 26 assists in 18 minutes.

124:104.

In the end, Da Zhuang could only helplessly accept the loss of the game.

58 wins and 15 losses, this is the answer sheet handed over by the Timberwolves led by Da Zhuang after all the games in March were over.

As early as March 3, the Timberwolves defeated the Suns at home, and the Timberwolves had already completed the task of entering the playoffs that Da Zhuang said before.

At present, for the Timberwolves, the biggest task is to keep the No. [-] position in the Western Conference, so that they can occupy a favorable position in the playoffs.

The Spurs, ranked second in the West, entered the final sprint in April with 56 wins and 18 losses.

For the Spurs, if they want to overthrow the Timberwolves' No. [-] position in the Western Conference, the only chance is to defeat the Timberwolves in the next make-up game.

And the Spurs must win as many remaining games as possible.

On April 4, the Timberwolves played against the Grizzlies at home. In the end, the two sides staged a defensive battle at the Target Center.

The two defensive buffs refreshed by the system were added to Yi Jianlian and Bennett by Da Zhuang, plus Oden's stable performance in the interior.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Grizzlies 89-79.

But on the second day, the Timberwolves ushered in good news. The Spurs lost in the away game.

They lost to the Thunder 94 to 106 in the away game. Not only did they fail to maintain the pressure on the Timberwolves, but they were also caught up by the Thunder behind them.

At the end of this round, the difference between the Spurs and the Timberwolves was three games, and the gap between it and the Thunder changed from the original two games to one.

It is worth mentioning that in this game against the Thunder, Popovich once again applied to the referee for an early off-duty package at the end of the third quarter.

The closer to the end of the regular season, the more intense the competition. Every team is trying to calculate its own gains and losses in every game, whether it is a team striving for the playoffs or a team that is completely bad.

At four o'clock in the afternoon on April 4, the San Antonio Spurs arrived at the Target Center.

This game is also a make-up match that had to be postponed due to an accident when the two sides went to Mexico for an overseas game last time. Popovich was surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he appeared.

However, Popovich, who seemed a little impatient in the past, was very patient in the face of reporters' siege today.

When answering reporters' questions about the game, Popovich also expressed strong self-confidence.

"We have been preparing for today's game for a long time. It should be said that I am very much looking forward to meeting the Timberwolves again. This is very good for us to understand each other, and I believe that by the end of today's game, we will be able to Walking away with a win, I'm sure that's the case, and our goal has been not just the regular season, which was very clear to all of us."

Although Popovich did not explain what he said, the reporters at the scene knew exactly what the old man meant. It was very simple. I never regarded a Timberwolves as my opponent. My opponent was the last player to stand in the finals. Team.

Although the opponent is aggressive and expresses determination to win, for Da Zhuang and the Timberwolves, it is much easier for the Timberwolves with three wins.

When the two sides entered the court to warm up, Popovich also took a deep look at Zhuang. To be honest, being able to bring the Timberwolves to this position was completely beyond Popovich's expectations.

Before the start of the season, he heard that the Timberwolves had found a 26-year-old young man who had never coached in the NBA. At that time, he felt that the Timberwolves were completely nonsense, a bad performance.

But it was this young man whom he had never paid attention to, but he had always firmly overwhelmed himself in the regular season, and in the first few games of this season, he also steadily overwhelmed his team. .

It can be said that Chen Dazhuang's position in Popovich's mind now is very different from when the season just started. The most important thing is that every time he meets Chen Dazhuang, Popovich always feels that he is old. up.

To put it bluntly, there is a feeling that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves are shot to death on the beach.

At this time, when Popovich put his gaze on Chen Dazhuang, Dazhuang, who was leading the players to warm up, suddenly felt that someone was peeping at him, and turned his head to meet Popovich's gaze.

Immediately, Da Zhuang's originally expressionless face was filled with a smile, and then he raised his right hand and waved towards Popovich.

Immediately, Popovich's face turned dark, yes, it was this annoying smile!

In Popovich's eyes, this guy's smile is as fake as it gets.

Fuck, this old man must be sick, I f*ck hello to you, it's fine if you don't respond, and you put on a bad face for me, Da Zhuang's hot face put a cold ass on it, and I immediately felt uncomfortable.

"This guy is insane. I greeted him frankly, but he threw me a face." Da Zhuang said while pulling Smith.

"Greeting? Is it still the same as last time? Idol?"

"Fuck off, can you f**king not mention this, but I waved to him sincerely just now, it's too rude, too ungentlemanly, old rascal!"

Listening to his head coach's complaints, Smith looked helpless.

"Chen, do you think it's possible that your smile is too hypocritical in their eyes instead of being unmannered?"

"How is it possible, Smith, you fucking can't frame me, I'm as sincere as I want to be, okay, don't you know me? Modesty, politeness, generosity, gentleman, etc., these are all label on me."

"Are you sure what you said is you? Why didn't I see it, Chen, can we show some face, what you said has nothing to do with you at all." Smith turned around and left after speaking.
