Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 303 The Battle of Vengeance
Beep!Beep!With the referee's whistle.

The game between the Timberwolves and the Spurs ended after four quarters of confrontation.

119 to 101, the Timberwolves easily defeated the Spurs by 18 points, and thus achieved a 29-game winning streak. After the game, Da Zhuang also walked towards Popovich with a smile on his face and stretched himself out right hand.

"Chen, has anyone ever said that your smile is too hypocritical?"

Da Zhuang was a little embarrassed by Popovich's words.

Come on, shit, labor and management don't care about you, I don't care about the loser.

"Mr. Popovich, it's just a regular season, there's no need to be so serious."

"Trade Nicola to me. I know how to use him better than you. He wasted his talent here."

Spicy next door, you know what the hell, the whole world is blind and you are the only one who understands, labor capital never wants to talk to you, save others saying that I bully the elderly, you have to hit the gun.

"Really? Then why didn't you choose him at the time? Mr. Popovich, you should go back and sort out your uniform team first. I think these people should be fired directly."

When he spoke loudly, he pulled out his hand, then turned around and left without giving the old guy a chance to speak.

Da Zhuang's words also choked Popovich, the meaning in the words is very clear, you understand so well, why didn't you discover his talent at the beginning, oh, now that he is famous, you understand.

Looking at the back of Da Zhuang leaving, Popovich could only shake his head.

The press conference after the game completely became a special occasion for Da Zhuang and Popovich to praise each other. Praise how awkward it is to hear Popovich's ears.

You just beat me by 18 points. Then you boasted that I am the number one in the league. What do you mean?

After winning the game against the Spurs, the Timberwolves also ushered in a two-day rest period.

However, the next game of the Timberwolves still became the focus of everyone's attention.

On December 12, the Timberwolves will be a guest at the Bankers Life Arena and play away against the Indiana Pacers.

The reason why this game has become a focus battle is that besides the personal relationship between Zhuang and Vogel, there are many reasons. The first one is Howard, who was traded from the Rockets to the Pacers in the summer.

In terms of resentment towards the Timberwolves, Howard's resentment will not be much worse than others.

Last season's playoffs against the Timberwolves also directly clarified the conflict between Howard and Harden, and when he was traded to the Pacers, Howard was honestly full of hope for the future.

And the actions of the Pacers in the summer also fully explained their ambitions this season.

The Pacers are among the [-] teams, one of the few teams that made big moves this summer.

In order to make up for George Hill's position, they recruited Monta Ellis who played for the Mavericks last season, Jordan Hill who played for the Lakers last season, Tony who played for the Pelicans, and Robinson who played for the 76ers. He also signed with the Pacers successively. It is also worth mentioning that Budinger, who previously played for the Timberwolves, also joined the Pacers this season after becoming a free agent.

The frequent actions of the Pacers in the summer also attracted the attention of many people, so this game has also become the focus of everyone's attention.

However, there is one thing. Although the Pacers have made frequent moves in the summer, after the start of this season, the overall record is somewhat far from everyone's expectations.

At present, in the regular season that has completed 28 games, it has only achieved a record of 16 wins and 12 losses.

The most disappointing thing is Howard's performance.

Warcraft, who used to dominate the inside of the league so much, can see the decline in competitive ability visible to the naked eye.

Last season, there were some conflicts between the Rockets and Harden, but Howard still averaged 15.8 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. In the first 28 games of the Pacers this season, he averaged 37 minutes per game. Got a data of 12.7 points and 8.9 rebounds.

On the contrary, the Rockets who traded with the Pacers tasted the sweetness of this deal.

After George Hill joined the Rockets, he integrated into the team very quickly. In addition, David West, who was traded in the past, is also a good reinforcement for the Rockets. From the beginning of this season to the present, in the Rockets' 29 games, they have won With a record of 24 wins and 5 losses, the most important thing is that the friction between George Hill and Harden sparked.

The backcourt double guns composed of these two suddenly made Carlisle's life much easier.

Especially in the Rockets' away game against the Pacers in December, Harden and Hill scored 12 points together to help the Rockets beat the Pacers.

So Vogel also received a lot of doubts after that.

During this period of time, Vogel's life was a bit difficult, so the outside world also thinks that this game is a good opportunity for Vogel. If the Pacers can beat the Timberwolves at home, then the position under Vogel's butt will also become firm.

Also for Howard, this game is also an opportunity for him to prove himself.

"I don't think the Timberwolves are invincible. I have played against them. I know them very well. We will definitely end their winning streak in this game. There is no doubt about it." The day before the game, Howard accepted reporters When asked about the upcoming game against the Timberwolves during the interview, he was also very confident that he would definitely win the game.

The time soon came to December 12, and the Timberwolves arrived at the Bankers Life Arena in the afternoon.

Seeing Chen Dazhuang's figure, the reporters at the scene immediately surrounded him.

However, for these enthusiastic reporters, Da Zhuang still kept his low profile, and after dealing with the reporters a little perfunctorily, he also led the team into the arena.

He is well aware that Vogel's life has been difficult recently, so in the face of these reporters who are afraid of chaos in the world, Da Zhuang still does not want these guys to succeed in provoking troubles. As for Howard's ugly point, it is completely out of Da Zhuang's consideration Inside, he has paid attention to the Pacers' games this season, and Howard's competitiveness in the interior has declined too quickly.

To put it bluntly, last season he and Oden could barely make a [-]-[-] split, but this season Da Zhuang feels that [-]-[-] is very easy.

Not to mention that the Timberwolves have an extra Jokic inside this season.

Even within the Timberwolves, Howard directly became a negative teaching material, and Da Zhuang often used it to educate young players such as LaVine.
