Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 213 The Tired and Crooked Schedule

Last season was the Pacers who dominated the East. This summer did encounter very unfortunate things. The core of the team, Paul George, suffered the most serious injury in his career, and the cause of the injury was very strange. Unexpectedly, during the internal confrontation training of the Dream Team on August 8, George accidentally stepped on the basketball hoop while guarding James Harden, which directly caused a serious injury of a calf fracture.

Basically, it can be announced that the regular season will be reimbursed, which makes Vogel very angry, but he can only accept it helplessly. Then, in order to make up for Paul George's sudden injury, the Pacers also temporarily changed their summer reinforcement strategy.

And to make matters worse, last season's shooting guard Stephenson even switched to the Hornets.

In this way, the Pacers led by Vogel are stretched in terms of lineup configuration.

After the start of the regular season, the performance of the Pacers is also unsatisfactory. Compared with last season, it can be said that there have been earth-shaking changes. This season, the Pacers have played 17 games and have only achieved a record of 8 wins and 19 losses. .

So in this game against the Timberwolves, many people are not optimistic about the Pacers. After all, it is still an away game. The only thing that is good for the Pacers is that the current Timberwolves lineup is not complete.

On December 12, the entire Pacers team arrived in Minneapolis. Vogel was also interviewed by reporters at the Target Center. Facing reporters, he asked if he was confident about the matchup with Chen Dazhuang. class of problems.

Vogel also expressed his confidence in this game very confidently that he would not lose the game.

But at the same time, he also said that this will definitely be a difficult game for the Pacers. Only when the players maintain enough attention can they have the hope of defeating their opponents.

Some reporters wanted to start a fire between the two friends, but Da Zhuang would not be fooled.

"I heard from those guys that you are confident that you can beat me in this match?"

"Of course, who do you think you are? Can't anyone win?"

Came to warm up on the court, Da Zhuang took the initiative to find Vogel.

"Of course, I am the winner of the championship, you see that you don't even have an Eastern Conference championship, do you still want to win against me?"

"Fack, get out!" Vogel gave Chen Dazhuang two middle fingers on the spot. This guy is too annoying. Is there anyone who chats like this?
"Oh, there are so many reporters around."

"If I hadn't estimated so many reporters, I would have taught you a lesson. Get the hell out of me. I don't know you."

"You said how unlucky you are, the only core is still injured, and I think you may not even make the playoffs this season, Frank, I guess you will have to find a job again next season, or else , I still need an assistant coach, how about it? Think about it, you know me, I have very high requirements for assistants, I only invite you because of our relationship, oh, don’t go, Fuck, wait until I finish talking."

Vogel's face was ashen and even his body was trembling a little. He squeezed his fist and finally held back, but he turned around and left. He felt that he didn't want to hear another word from the guy in front of him. He would definitely beat someone if he heard it again. The guy made a special trip to mock himself, and he knows it now.

"This guy is too fragile psychologically, I left without saying a few words."

"Chen, have you ever thought that you only have those few friends in total, and there will be fewer and fewer if you go first like this. If I were Frank, I would have severed relations with you long ago." Smith looked at Chen Dazhuang and said.

How the hell do you talk, can you chat? Chen Dazhuang gave Smith a supercilious look.

The system also gave Da Zhuang enough confidence in this game. When Da Zhuang returned to the locker room and saw the three red buffs in the system, his face became more relaxed.

It is worth mentioning that in this game, in order to cope with the next consecutive away games, Da Zhuang also adjusted the starting lineup. Except for Oden and Bennett who continued to start, Da Zhuang made adjustments on the outside.

Dinwiddie, LaVine, Grant, Bennett and Oden formed the Timberwolves' starting five.

The starting lineup for the Pacers is Watson, Stuckey, Solomon Hill, David West, and Hibbert.

It is worth mentioning that Hill is a rookie of the Pacers in the summer, and Stuckey is also a free agent signed in the summer. From this lineup, we can see how difficult it is for Vogel to arrange the lineup this season.

Although Vogel showed strong confidence in the interview before the game, after the game started, this confidence disappeared without a trace. From the beginning of the game, Dinwiddie and LaVine, the outside combination He has a strong desire to attack, especially Dinwiddie has repeatedly sent wonderful assists under the blessing of the system buff.

It can be said that the Pacers really resisted the first 5 minutes of the first quarter. After that, the situation on the court was gradually controlled by the Timberwolves, and then until the game entered the garbage time of the fourth quarter. Timberwolves Neither gave Vogel or the Pacers any chance to win.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score of the two sides was also fixed at 99 to 86. The Timberwolves defeated the Pacers by 13 points.

"Chen, I really want to punch you in the face. Yesterday Rick told me that you are so annoying. I didn't believe it. Now I do."

At the end of the game, Vogel came to Chen Dazhuang with a face of reluctance.

"Hey, how could you believe that guy's words." Seeing the guy's reluctance, Da Zhuang directly gave him a strong hug.

"Let go of me, Xie Te, let me go quickly, Chen, don't get carried away, as far as I know, your opponent in the next game is the Cavaliers, I'm waiting to see a good show, and you seem to be going to Golden State this month Going to play the game, I don’t know how the Golden State people will welcome you at that time, I hope you can come back standing up.”

Vogel's words also made Da Zhuang a little tired of crooked. I don't know which bastard arranged the schedule for this shit. It really echoed the old saying, it's not that enemies don't get together.

Next, after playing the Cavaliers and the Nuggets, they will follow up with back-to-back away games against the Warriors.

Da Zhuang doesn't even have to imagine, he can guess that when the time comes to the away game, there will probably be many fans greeting him in the entire stadium, whether it is the Cavaliers or the Warriors.

"Then you don't need to care about it. I think you should care about yourself. Don't forget the suggestion I gave you before. Think about it carefully. This is the embodiment of friendship between friends. I left it for you." A way out, don't thank me, we are good friends."

After speaking, Da Zhuang turned around and left, not giving this guy a chance to get mad.
