Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 338 The Second Round Opens 2
"Does that mean that you are also optimistic about the Timberwolves? Then if I ask you to guess, who do you think can enter the finals this season?" Yang Yi said.

"It's really hard to say. I think the Warriors and Timberwolves should not be a big problem in the Western Conference Finals, but the strength of these two teams this season is still very close, so it's hard to guess if you want to guess, but the Timberwolves occupy some hearts. After all, in the regular season record of the Timberwolves and the history of the two teams playing against each other, the Timberwolves have an advantage."

Yang Yi also didn't say anything, but he didn't agree with it in his heart. This guide didn't know what was going on, but he was not optimistic about Chen Dazhuang. Some time ago, he raised objections to Chen Dazhuang being the head coach of the Timberwolves and the national team at the same time, thinking that it could not be done well. The results of both sides are not good, and it is suggested that Chen Dazhuang should resign from the Timberwolves to concentrate on the national team.

And I also think that a Chinese coaching team should be set up to assist Chen Dazhuang's work, which can also play a supervisory role.

As soon as such remarks came out, it immediately caused a big wave of domestic exaggeration, and at the same time, it was sprayed by many fans. It can be said that many fans are disgusted by this guy's remarks.

Besides, he resigned from the Timberwolves, so why didn't he resign from the national team?

At this time, the entrance ceremony of the home team on the field also began.

Led by the shouts of the DJ at the scene, tens of thousands of Timberwolves fans shouted the names of every Timberwolves player in unison. As the atmosphere reached its peak, the Timberwolves' starting five tigers also appeared one by one.

Then after the entrance ceremony, the starting players of both sides also came to the center of the court to wait for the start of the game.

When the referee walked towards the middle circle, Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines with his arms folded, turned his head and glanced at the position of the Timberwolves bench. He happened to meet Da Zhuang's eyes, and Chen Dazhuang showed his signature smile at the old guy. .

Immediately, Popovich gave Da Zhuang a supercilious look and turned his head.

Fuck, does this old guy have no manners at all?Did such a kind smile from Nima’s boss make you roll your eyes?Da Zhuang was also choked by this white eye.

Soon the game officially started with the referee's whistle.

Oden beat Duncan to help the Timberwolves get the first attack. After Middleton hugged the ball, he directly handed the ball to Dinwiddie. The Spurs retreated very quickly and Dinwiddie received the ball. After that, it was already halftime.

Parker followed Dinwiddie and interfered with his rhythm.

After dribbling the ball to the frontcourt, Middleton quickly ran towards Dinwiddie, and Danny Green followed closely. When Dinwiddie and Middleton crossed, they handed over the ball. In the hands of Middleton, and Dinwiddie also used the position to delay Danny Green, so that the two exchanged the object of defense when passing the ball.

When Middleton stood at 45 degrees to the right, he mentioned that Jokic, who was in the high position, was ready for the pick-and-roll cover, and then Middleton immediately made a posture to break through, and Parker immediately prepared to bypass Jokic, but at this time Middleton was a quick crotch dribble, and then turned one after another and moved towards his left hand.

Then, when Parker was about to adjust back, he suddenly took advantage of a time difference to complete a three-point shot, and the basketball flew to the basket under the watchful eyes of everyone on the scene.

After the basketball flew in the air for a certain distance, it fell into the basket precisely.

Immediately there was warm cheers and applause at the scene. In the eyes of the Timberwolves fans, Middleton is trustworthy at any time, and the performance of the Timberwolves was not affected by the long rest time.

This three-pointer also officially opened the Timberwolves' offensive curtain in this game.

However, the next Spurs' offense encountered a lot of trouble, which was beyond Popovich's expectations. In fact, when he got the starting list of the Timberwolves, Popovich felt strange. The Timberwolves' performance at the third position has always been very stable. In the regular season awards just announced, Bennett also entered the defensive second team, but the opposite side of this game has changed at the third position.

This also makes Popovich feel very strange.

It is worth mentioning that the Timberwolves are still the biggest winners in this season's regular season awards.

Chen Dazhuang once again won the best head coach in the regular season, Middleton also won the title of scoring champion, and LaVine is the best sixth man. Although Jokic was not a rookie last summer, he only joined the NBA this season Yes, so he overwhelmed Towns to become the best rookie, and Oden once again won the regular season MVP.

And Oden also entered the best team again.

Dinwiddie and Jokic also entered the best second team.

This is a bumper harvest in an absolute sense. Many media even speculate that if the Timberwolves can maintain this lineup, it will be difficult for any team to break the Timberwolves’ dominance in the next few seasons. However, some media also predict that it will be difficult for the Timberwolves to continue. Keep this lineup, because the Timberwolves will usher in the renewal of Dinwiddie and others, and the luxury tax of the Timberwolves will be a big problem at that time, unless the Timberwolves are willing to pay.

And this phenomenon is not only noticed by the media, but also by many teams. During this time, Milt said that many teams are contacting him, trying to get some news from him so as to prepare in advance.

In addition, some media speculate that the Timberwolves may make some trades and then select some newcomers for training in some positions. In this way, the draft picks are the most attractive to the Timberwolves, so many teams hold their own. The draft picks look forward to the actions of the Timberwolves.

You must know that almost everyone in the current Timberwolves team does not want any of the remaining 29 teams in the league.

Even some time ago, the media ranked all the possibilities of a trade in the Timberwolves and a ranking of players most wanted by other teams. Among them, Oden occupies the first place and Jokic ranks second.

Back in the game, the Spurs attacked, but Leonard held the ball to face Grant's forced mid-range shot, but it was blocked by Grant. The basketball also hit the frame directly, and the rebound was taken by Oden. Next, it was the Timberwolves' turn to counterattack. With Oden's long swing, a two-on-one situation immediately formed in the frontcourt.

In the end, Middleton's chasing three-pointer hit again.

6 to 0, the Timberwolves put enough pressure on the Spurs.
