Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 264
"Friends of the audience, friends of the fans, good morning! Welcome to the second round of the 2014-2015 NBA playoffs brought by Penguin Sports. The two sides are the Houston Rockets and the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is the third game of this series between the two sides. The Timberwolves won the first two games, so this game is very important for both sides. If the Timberwolves can win the game, then they will Get the match point, and if the Rockets win, it will be a huge boost to their currently depressed morale."

"In addition, if the Rockets win this game, it will also take a blow to the morale of the Timberwolves, so this game will be a very, very intense game."

"There is still the last half hour before the start of the game. I believe that the two head coaches should be nervously arranging tactics at this moment. Zhang Zhi, who do you think is more likely to win this game?"

"I am optimistic about the Rockets. After all, this is the home court of the Rockets. However, how to solve the problem of Howard being targeted is up to Carlisle. If it can be solved, the Rockets really have hope of winning the game. If it’s the same game, then it’s going to be troublesome.”

"I just don't know how the Timberwolves have arranged for this game. Allen also came off the bench in the second quarter of the last game, and his state is getting better and better."

"Yes, as I said last time, this matter is a gradual process. It cannot be rushed. After all, you have not played a game for such a long time, and it is the intensity of the playoffs. It needs a process of adaptation. of."

"Yes, this is also a topic that many fans are concerned about now, that is, when Allen can return to the Timberwolves' starting lineup. In fact, I am also very concerned."

"It's not just you who care, all of us care, and now it depends on the recovery of the state."

While Yang Yi and Zhang Lili were chatting about Yi Jianlian, Da Zhuang in the Minnesota locker room also submitted the starting lineup for this game.

Soon when the major live broadcast rooms, including Carlisle, got the starting lineup of the Timberwolves, they were also stunned.

Because in the fourth position is Yi Jianlian who has recently returned from injury.

"We just got the starting lineup of the Timberwolves and the Rockets, and something happened that made us all unbelievable. In the starting lineup arranged by Chen Dazhuang, Allen, who we care about, appeared in the starting lineup. This is really true. It's an incredible thing."

"To be honest, this is a bit unreasonable. Logically speaking, Sims' performance is still very good. It should be said that throughout the playoffs so far, Sims has indeed played a performance that is in line with his best defensive team. , but now such an important game is to adjust the lineup, which is a bit unreasonable."

Seeing Yi Jianlian reappeared in the starting lineup, many Huaguo fans were also extremely excited.

"Whether it's so special or not, I, Alian, should be the starter. If it wasn't for the injury, Sims wouldn't be here."

"Yes, the same as above, must start, my brother Zhuang is still my brother Zhuang, this must support my brother Zhuang."

"Nonsense, let's talk about it, you must be strong!"

"Finally back from injury, damn it, it's been so hard to wait."

In fact, there is a reason for Da Zhuang to arrange this way. As early as after the second game with the Rockets, Da Zhuang started researching and discussing with Smith and others.

The success of the last game against Howard does not mean that this game will be successful, so it is necessary to change tactics to catch Carlisle by surprise. Sims' defense is indeed trustworthy, but the Timberwolves will lose one scoring point when he is on the court. Oden's scoring efficiency will also be targeted by the opponent. Once the Rockets double-team Oden and the basketball fails to be delivered in time, the Timberwolves' offense will be in trouble.

It was different for Yi Jianlian. Judging from Yi Jianlian's performance in the first two games, he recovered very well. Da Zhuang also consulted the team doctor again and again, and what he got was that he had completely recovered from his injury and would not affect the conclusion of the game.

So Da Zhuang also insisted on starting with Yi Jianlian. He believed that with Yi Jianlian involved on the court, the Rockets would not dare to double-team Oden at will.

In this way, the Timberwolves can fully achieve true internal and external blooming on offense.

In terms of defense, although Yi Jianlian's defense is worse than Sims', defending Jones should not be a big problem.

In addition, having Sims on the bench can also allow both sides to maintain defensive strength when both use rotation lineups.

Of course, in order to prevent Hims from having any ideas, Da Zhuang communicated with Hims yesterday.

"Don't be nervous, you still play as you used to. The team doctor has already told you that you have fully recovered."

Da Zhuang and Yi Jianlian walked last, Da Zhuang urged.

"Understood, don't worry."

In fact, Da Zhuang still has selfish intentions. You must know that after winning the last game, the buff attribute of the system has increased the three-point shooting rate to 30.00%, so he is actually not worried about winning or losing the game. Even playing can better show yourself.

Before that, the Timberwolves also completed the contract extension with Yi Jianlian.

Previously, it was a two-year middle-class contract of 900 million yuan. After the contract was renewed this time, the contract also became a three-year contract worth 2400 million yuan.

In order to avoid gossip, Da Zhuang did not interfere in Yi Jianlian's entire contract renewal, and it was completely negotiated by Milt and Yi Jianlian's agent team.

Soon the home team admission ceremony at the Toyota Center began.

The Rockets' starting lineup has not changed in any way. Terry, Harden, Trevor Ariza, Jones and Howard are still the five that make up the Rockets' starting lineup.

With the appearance of the Rockets' starting lineup one by one, the starting players of both sides also stood in the center of the court.

After the referee communicated on the technical stage, he came to the center of the court and stood next to Howard and Oden. After the referee made some simple explanations and confirmed the time, he threw the basketball in his hand to into the air, and then blew the whistle in his mouth.

This very important game for both the Timberwolves and the Rockets officially started with the referee's whistle.

Oden defeated Howard in terms of speed and height, which also allowed the Timberwolves to get the offensive ball for the first attack.

Immediately, the basketball was handed over to Lin Shuhao, and the Rockets also quickly completed the retreat. Only Terry followed Lin Shuhao, not only to prevent the Timberwolves from super long three-pointers, but also Terry has been interfering with Lin Shuhao's dribbling rhythm.
