Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 302 The old guy is not a good person

"I am looking forward to this game. The Timberwolves are now the No. [-] team in the league. To be able to play against such a team, I believe that regardless of the outcome, it will be a very good training opportunity for us. Of course, if we can beat such a team Opponents, I believe it will also be a boost in confidence for all of our players."

After arriving at the Target Center on the afternoon of the 23rd, Popovich was also interviewed by reporters.

The content of the answer also raised the Timberwolves very high.

"Hello, audience friends. Welcome to a game of the 2015-2016 NBA regular season brought by Penguin Sports. Today's game is the Timberwolves playing at home against the Spurs. Today's game is still It’s still up to Director Zhang and I to explain to everyone.”

"good morning everyone."

"Zhang Zhi, this season's Timberwolves have really demonstrated their ability to dominate, but the only thing that makes our fans in Huaguo feel a little unhappy is that Alian has gradually lost his position as the main force."

"Yes, but I don't think it's a bad thing. I think Alian can gain more in this kind of competition. This kind of healthy competition is very important for the growth of players. I personally think this is very important for our Huaguo basketball team. It is very important, the current Timberwolves are really competitive in every position, although Allen lost the starting position, but this also shows the strength of the Timberwolves."

"It's like Jokic who returned to the team this summer. Who would have thought that this fat man could play so well. Zhang Zhi, who do you think has a better chance of winning today's game?"

"June 29th, the Timberwolves have some advantages, but you can't underestimate the Spurs. The Spurs have grown a lot after Aldridge joined. In addition, in the past 24 games, the Spurs have also achieved 5 wins and 28 losses. The record, although it can’t be compared with the Timberwolves with [-] consecutive victories, but the competitiveness in the West is still very strong.”

While Yang Yi and Zhang Lili were chatting about the strength comparison between the two sides, the home team entrance ceremony at the Target Center also began.

The appearance of Dinwiddie, Middleton, Bennett, Jokic and Oden one by one also brought the atmosphere of the scene to its peak.

Today's starting lineup for the Spurs is: Parker, Green, Leonard, Aldridge and Duncan.

Soon the starting players of both sides stood on the court, and with the whistle of the referee, the game officially started.

Oden and Duncan easily gained the advantage in the jump ball. Bennett held the ball in his arms after getting stuck, protected the ball and handed the ball to Dinwiddie.

The Spurs retreated very quickly, almost as soon as Bennett hugged the ball. Only Leonard stretched out his hand to delay Bennett, which also bought time for the team's retreat and prevented Timberwolves play fast break.

After Dinwiddie took the ball to the frontcourt, Jokic directly mentioned the high position for the pick-and-roll.

This tactic of the Timberwolves is not a secret in the current league, but knowing it doesn’t mean you can defend it. Just like this offense, when Jokic mentioned the high pick-and-roll, Dinwiddie didn’t even use the pick-and-roll. Instead of breaking through, he handed the ball directly to Jokic, and then he quickly slanted into the inside, ran towards the weak side, and took Parker away.

At this time, the Timberwolves' pick-and-roll power really showed up.

Middleton and Bennett's continuous pick-and-roll screens immediately formed a dislocation. After pulling away, it turned out that Danny Green stood in front of Jokic.

Jokic directly made a three-point shot.

Immediately attracted the Spurs' defensive focus, but the basketball was shot, but it didn't fly to the basket, but to the hands of Middleton who had been emptied.

Middleton adjusted after receiving the ball, and then quickly completed a three-pointer.

After drawing a wonderful arc, the basketball fell into the basket precisely.

Popovich shook his head a little while watching from the sidelines. He didn't think there was anything wrong with being scored a three-pointer, but felt sorry for the big fat Timberwolves. It's a pity why the Spurs didn't encounter such a strange thing.

The fake moves this guy just made against Danny Green on the court just didn't look like the moves made by a 2-meter big man.

Popovich turned his head to look at Da Zhuang.

"What's wrong with you, this game has just started, why does he keep looking at you?" Smith stood by and saw Popovich's movements.

"Am I so cheap? I didn't mess with him. Maybe I'm getting old and have menopause. Stay away from him. This old guy is not a good person."

If the Timberwolves' offense just surprised Popovich, then it was the Spurs' turn to attack Jokic to defend Aldridge, which made Popovich a little stunned.

This shit is not only fat, the fat Aldridge can't move, but he can also keep up with Aldridge's footsteps.

Facing Aldridge's offense, Jokic directly gave the opponent a big cap.

The basketball did not fly out of bounds, was caught by Oden, and then a long throw was handed over to Middleton who had already started sprinting, and then faced with Green's entanglement, after a sudden stop and a fake change of direction attracted the opponent's center of gravity, , and then quickly withdrew back, quickly completed the collection of the ball, and then took off directly for a three-point shot.

Swish!The sound of the basketball rubbing against the net when it fell into the rim turned the Target Center into a sea of ​​joy again, and all the Timberwolves fans stood up and gave the team warm applause.

This kind of chasing three-pointer is far more morale-boosting than the first open three-pointer.

6 to 0, two consecutive three-pointers made everyone's blood spurt.

The next game situation was also firmly held by the Timberwolves in their own hands. The strong dialogue game that everyone was looking forward to turned into a one-sided game from the very beginning.

The Timberwolves' terrifying outside scoring ability made the Spurs exhausted.

Just one Oden last season was enough to cause headaches for all the teams in the league, but this season the combination of Oden and Jokic is not just a headache, but a kind of despair.

"Shet, where did this guy know about this fat guy? Why did our people choose to ignore it?" Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, complained to the assistant coach beside him.

"During the previous draft, he was too fat, so everyone thought he was not suitable for the NBA, so no trial training was arranged." The assistant coach next to Popovich also answered the old man's question very helplessly.
