Chapter 556
Inside the Target Center, a large number of fans cheered for their home team. Some fans even raised their favorite Timberwolves players high and screamed excitedly!

"It seems that this game has been watched!!"

Noticing the excitement of the fans around him, Bruce smiled to himself, and said to West beside him expectantly.

"Yeah, I didn't expect their progress to be so fast!" West said with a smile, then pointed to the commentary seat, the smile on his face became stronger, and said: "It seems that Charles still enjoys this game very much." life!"

In the commentary seat, I saw Barkley talking about something to Rick Barry next to him, coupled with his exaggerated hand movements, it really made people feel a little funny!
"Look at the fans here, they really haven't seen what is called a big scene!" Barkley thought of his previous experience playing with the Warriors, and a trace of disdain could not help but flash in his eyes!
"Hehe, if the Timberwolves are located in San Francisco, I'm afraid their fans will become more crazy!" Barry shrugged helplessly, then pointed to the information on the table, and said: "This year's Timberwolves, after Kevin broke out strongly , recruited Latrier and Sam respectively, and brought the unsatisfactory No. [-] pick from the Clippers to Minnesota. With a good substitute, they obviously have a very promising season !"

"Hehe, if they can have a combination like Tim and Dirk, I'm afraid they will be more vocal in winning the championship this season!" Barkley glanced at the Warriors who were silently preparing to play, and then said extremely confidently : "Even if the Timberwolves can defeat the Warriors in this game, their championship appearance still seems a bit insufficient!"

"drop!!"

Amidst their small talk, Dick Bavita blew the pre-match whistle!
"It's about to start!!"

Barkley said something excitedly, and then seriously watched the state of the players on both sides on the court!
On the side of the Timberwolves, Garnett used his always very passionate encouragement method to encourage and cheer for his teammates when they played one after another!

As the two sides quickly completed the short warm-up before the game, they returned to the field after Bavita's whistle!

"Remember my previous arrangement!!"

Wilkens finally said something to the players with a serious expression, and then silently waited for the start of the game!
As the boss of the team, after Wilkens finished speaking, Duncan stood up like Barkley last season: "Guys, I hope you can focus on the court in this game. It's a high-profile game, so..."

With Duncan's slightly low-key encouragement, the rest of the Warriors silently prepared their own things!
"drop!!"

As Bavita blew his whistle again, the main lineups of both sides walked towards the field one after another!

"Gerald, Andre, I hope you can give me more support!" Billups quickly explained to Kirilenko and Wallace when they passed by, and then After they nodded in agreement, they slowly walked towards the center line!
Duncan stood on the center line calmly, looking at Olowokandi who seemed extremely excited, a strong fighting spirit flashed in his eyes!

"Gentlemen, I don't want to say more about the attention this game has received, so..."

As Bavita routinely ended the precautions before the start of the game, after the players on both sides nodded, he directly threw the basketball into the air!
"boom!!"

With a muffled sound, Duncan took the lead and slapped the basketball to his teammates. Then he saw Gerald Wallace holding the basketball in his arms, and then quickly ran to the frontcourt!

In the entire league, the Warriors will basically easily take their own side on the jump ball, especially against some teams that do not have a super elastic center, it is basically a sure thing!
After Wallace grabbed the basketball, he quickly passed the ball to Billups who had been waiting!

"Hey, Sam, how are you doing recently?" Billups dribbled the ball and ran to the front court, smiling at this old friend who once taught him!
"Hehe, not bad!" A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Cassel's eyes. Thinking that the Warriors won the championship last season, he regretted his original decision a little bit!
After coming to the frontcourt, the Warriors moved quickly, making the Timberwolves have to closely follow the defender!

"Dirk, do you want to try inside singles?" Garnett followed closely beside Nowitzki, saying something from time to time!
"Hehe, if I were you, I would definitely defend myself carefully!" After these years of growth, Nowitzki would obviously say those two rubbish words!

After the players from both sides entered the confrontation, Billups quickly spread the five fingers of his right hand, glanced at his teammates and started running quickly, and he directly handed the basketball to Nowitzki who was standing high on the right!
"Come on, throw this ball over my head!!" Garnett opened his arms wide and looked at Nowitzki provocatively!

However, Nowitzki, who is not very domineering, doesn't care about this. After he noticed that Duncan was already stuck inside, he passed the basketball directly!
"You really are a softie!" Garnett growled unceremoniously, the expression on his face really made Nowitzki frown!

In the NBA, there are some trash talkers that really make the players who play against them very depressed!

If it weren't for Larry Bird and the guys who can talk about the collapse of the opposing players, they have retired one after another, and now they are just talking vicious trash, it is really difficult to achieve the effect of Bird and others!

In the inside, after Duncan received the pass, he first leaned back to evaluate Olowokandi's strength!
"Tim, you should try harder, don't be limp like a sissy!" Olowokandi didn't know if he was infected by Garnett, and his trash talk really improved a little bit!
"puff!!"

With a muffled sound, Olowokandi's chest felt tight suddenly, and he couldn't help but backed away!
"Damn!!"

Olowokandi looked ashamed and wanted to quickly post it, but Duncan, who had already started, was really not something this rough guy could guard against!
After that, I saw Duncan use his skilled inside moves and footwork, and only two or three hits hit the ball into the basket!

"idiot!!"

After scoring this goal, Duncan turned his head and glanced at Olowokandi, who was already extremely depressed, with a calm face. After saying this lightly, he shook his head and ran to the backcourt sullenly!

"what!!!"

Olowokandi let out a low growl, seeing Duncan's indifferent face, as if he had been greatly insulted, he chased after him angrily!

Garnett took a fierce look at Duncan who had already run into the half court. Thinking that the opponent had always dominated him in the past few seasons, he couldn't help cursing secretly, and then handed the basketball to Kassel!

And the moment Kassel took the ball, he called his teammates to run forward quickly!

Judging from the current tactics implemented by the Timberwolves, it is obvious that after they have Kassel and Sprewell, the speed of offensive and defensive transitions has increased a lot!
Just like now, Garnett quickly followed his teammates like a small forward. When they rushed into the frontcourt like a tide, the flexible running and unselfish passing really made the Warriors suddenly Feel a little flustered!
"If the Warriors can force the Timberwolves into a game, they're going to kill the Timberwolves, and if the Timberwolves can force the Warriors into their own rhythm with their passing and running, they're going to give the Warriors a shot. The team is causing a lot of trouble!!" Barkley said his opinion with a serious expression. Since he joined ESPN, he has tried to keep his words fair at all times. From his current words, it can be seen that he obviously does. Not bad!

"That's right, now the Timberwolves clearly have some initiative!" Rick Barry said slowly as he looked at the court with a gleam in his eyes.

On the court, the Timberwolves' rapid transfer of the ball and the rapid movement of the players gradually made the Warriors fall into their rhythm!
When Szczerbiak used the cover of his teammates to get a gap, with Garnett's pass in place, a standard three-pointer was suddenly made!

"Wow!!"

A large number of fans in the stands cheered excitedly for this goal. This three-pointer also undoubtedly revealed the characteristics of the Timberwolves!
Off the court, Wilkens watched this scene with a frown, still slightly dissatisfied with the Warriors' defense!

"PJ, do you have any good advice for the Timberwolves' defense??"

Carlesimo, who was sitting next to Wilkens, frowned and thought about it when he suddenly heard the other party's question, and then he said his bold arrangement!
"If we can switch the positions of Dirk and Tim, plus more active follow-up from the outside, I think it will be very strong defensively, and it will be very effective!"

Hearing Carlesimo's words, Wilkens couldn't help flashing a light in his eyes, and then looked at the court with burning eyes!

As the two sides have their own unique attacks on the offensive end, even though both sides are not satisfactory in defense, the wonderful match still won the cheers of a large number of fans!
When the score between the two sides was fixed at 28:30 in the first quarter, the players of both sides who returned to the field were warmly cheered by the fans present!

"Children, I will arrange some small tactics to change the defensive problem!" Wilkens first turned his head and glanced at Carlesimo who was nodding with a smile, and then said slowly: "In the second half, I will try to use the Mu and Dirk switch positions, Gerrard and Andre, you need to be more active in defense!"

After listening to Wilkens' arrangement, the faces of the people whose names were named showed a trace of doubt, but only Duncan had a flash of excitement and surprise in his eyes!
