Chapter 525
Jordan stood up from his seat, his bloated body shaking, and he yelled at Wallace, "Gerald, guard that bastard! You fucking promised me!"

Wallace said with trepidation: "You can continue to read."

The head coach of the Bobcats, Bernie Bickerstaff, looks like a puppet. He dare not complain about Jordan. Although Jordan is only a minority shareholder, who can guarantee that he will always be a minority shareholder?

After all, Jordan has been rumored to want to acquire the Bobcats.

Now that Jordan has taken over the operating rights of the Bobcats, the draft trade has been grasped, and has achieved good results.

Because of the fiery touch, Bai Jidong basically focused on offense in the first quarter, only got 2 assists, but scored 17 points, accounting for 70% of the team's scoring.

Bai Jidong seldom attacked like this at the beginning, and his offense laid an 8-point advantage for the Timberwolves.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Casey asked him if he wanted to continue playing, and Bai Jidong replied that he wanted to take a rest.

Casey knew what was in his mind, and only kept Battier as a starter, and then used Simien and Joe Smith to partner on the inside, and Spanoulis partnered with Vashabek on the outside.

This is Spanoulis' first regular-season game, and he wants to do well.

Minnesota fans are not very familiar with him, but his teammates already know that he is a full-fledged NBA player.

Bobcats main young lineup, Wallace remains on the court, the other two perimeter is Roy and Gay.

These two rookies are the core of the Bobcats' team building. Roy swung to the No. [-] position and fully stimulated his offensive ability.

He succeeded in beating Spanoulis consecutively, and the point difference was once narrowed to 2 points.

Spanoulis threaded the needle like he was playing in European games, and failed to make a ball for his teammates.

No matter how good an opportunity Smith had today, he just couldn't make it.Spanoulis fed him three good pies, and Smith spat them all out.

It was Smith's inaccurate mid-range shot that made the Bobcats gain momentum, and then the European king was angry. How could he tolerate the boss's hard-earned advantage being ruined by himself?
Spanoulis changed back to his original style of play, making two consecutive pull-up jumpers to bring the point difference back to 6 points.

"I've watched the World Championships, Vasilis is a perfect guard on the offensive end. He has all the qualities that a good scorer should have; Can score in almost any way. What's more frightening is that although he scores like a bag, he doesn't need to use scoring to dominate the game. He only shows his sharp teeth when necessary, and more often he appears On the organizational side, the pick-and-roll between him and the center is almost a nightmare for all teams. No one will predict what he will do next, whether to pass the ball or attack by himself? Dare to stand up at the critical moment and give a fatal blow."

Barkley's question is, "Since he is so good, why did he fall to the second round? Since he is so good, why should Houston trade him to Minnesota?"

Smith's answer: "Because of scouting arrogance, because of Jeff Van Gundy's stupidity, the Greek has a good chance of becoming a Manu Ginobili-style second-round pick legend."

After playing for a quarter, Bai Jidong finally heard a few words from the commentator.

Sausage Mouth (Bai Jidong's nickname for Kenny Smith) agrees with Spanoulis' evaluation.

Spanoulis is just that good. His only question is whether he can adapt to the intensity and confrontation of the NBA. If he can, he will be the best sixth man for the Timberwolves.

There is also a guy on the field who is looking for the feel of the game.

Vashabek tried to show what he was doing in practice, but he didn't stand a chance.

Now he can only help his teammates set screens, pick and roll, and then guard Wallace.

Vashabek's defensive toughness surprised Wallace. He didn't expect the Timberwolves to have such a No. [-] player in addition to Bai Jidong.

Vashabek still has many flaws, and his game awareness is still very lacking, which can't be helped.

Everyone who plays in the NBA has played hundreds of low-level games before playing in the NBA, and the awareness of the game has long been developed in those games.

Vashabek is different. He played in the NBA when he first came into contact with basketball, so his awareness of the game is still being developed.

The so-called game awareness can be simply summarized as offensive awareness and defensive awareness.In different situations, what should the offensive side do and what should the defensive side do.

People with game awareness will react instantly, and Vashabek will be confused by the sudden situation. He doesn't know whether his approach is right.

Wallace caught him exactly, called screens in succession, got rid of him, caught the ball from the outside, hit a three-pointer, and tied the score.

Vashabek looked left and right, he was a little lost.

Spanoulis walked up to him, "Watch your man, if he calls a pick-and-roll, switch immediately!"

"What if I can keep up with him?" Vashabek asked.

Spanoulis said: "Then you also have to think about your teammates. If he doesn't know you can keep up, you two defend Gerrard together, and the other one will miss it?"

Spanoulis wanted to speak as simple as possible, but because of his spoken language, he said a lot, and Vashabek was even more confused.

In addition to the game awareness that cannot be developed quickly, Vashabek's other skills have improved dramatically compared to last season, and his basic skills are better than before.

"Bonu!" Spanoris shouted.

Vashabek often cooperated with him during training, and the two privately agreed on many tactical slogans and gestures.

What surprised the Greeks the most was Vashabek's physical fitness. If he could play basketball since he was a child, I don't know what a good player he would be. His physical fitness is really good!

Vashabek saw Spanoulis' gesture clearly, ran forward, and just about to help him block it, he turned around and cut straight to the basket.

This was a fake pick-and-roll, and Wallace didn't expect Vashabek to double-team Spanoulis at all.

Spanoulis threw the ball into the air long before the double-team. He didn't care whether Vashabek could catch it or not, he just threw the ball out anyway.

Vince Carter once said, "The best alley oops are made from the worst passes."

To catch a poor pass, the dunker has to increase his arm swing to catch the ball.

Vashabek caught the ball with his left hand fully extended.

Okafor roared, trying to intercept Vashabek, who was expressionless, clutching the basketball, and blasting towards the basket head-on.

Bai Jidong took the lead and jumped up from the bench, and threw the towel heavily on the ground, "What a fucking slam dunk!"

Weber put himself into the mentality of the Bobcats, hugged Olowokandi and said, "Is that kid an animal? It's too cruel!"

Olowokandi has long been familiar with it. They saw Vashabek's dunk in the slam dunk contest last year.

"It seems that the Timberwolves this season are stronger than last season." Barkley said, "Bonu Vashabek's growth is beyond imagination. He was a layman last year, and this year he is already a qualified NBA player."

Smith nodded and said: "There are still some reinforcements. Getting Vasilis from Houston is definitely the best deal Minnesota did this offseason!"

Although Smith put Spanoulis out of the sky, Spanoulis is not a perfect player.

While God gave him unparalleled offensive talent, he also threw him poor defense.

Roy's singles against Spanoulis is as simple as drinking water, although Spanoulis' offense is as sharp.

Spanoulis failed to control Roy's attack and was directly blown away by him.Roy rushed to the basket and beat Smith hard, resulting in two plus one.

Spanoulis took the initiative to say: "Sorry, this is my mistake!"

Casey kept Spanoulis' defensive performance silently in mind. If he is a sixth man, poor defense is acceptable.Because he is an outsider, and the outside defense is not good, others can help.If the inside defense is not good, then the problem will be big.

Casey pays great attention to the defense of the inside line. For the outside line, with the help of the inside line and flanks, defense is not the most important thing.

Judging from the performance on the field, Spanoulis needs a heavyweight defensive gate to help him solve the problems on the defensive end, otherwise his defense will be targeted all the time.

If Garnett was here, this problem would not exist.Even with Bai Jidong on the court, Spanoulis' defensive problems can be solved.

Now, 4 minutes into the second quarter, Casey looked at Bai Jidong, and he was ready to play.

Vashabek is still not used to his role, and Battier has to do many things that he should do.

There are also some problems with the offensive position, which need to be corrected by the coach.

Because of Vashabek's offensive position, Spanoulis couldn't find anyone to pass the ball, so he could only attack by himself, but was blocked by Okafor, and then was beaten by the Bobcats as a counterattack.

Bai Jidong had already been instructed to substitute. He and Olowokandi walked to the billboard and sat down at the same time, "Olo, do you think I can score 60 points today?"

Olowokandi said firmly: "Even if you say you want to get 100 points, I believe it, I have no doubts."

Bai Jidong was deeply moved by Olowokandi's trust, "I didn't expect you to trust me so much, I will definitely live up to your trust!"

No way, and Olowokandi doesn't want to do this either.

What if Bai Jidong is angered and doesn't pass the ball to himself?He doesn't want to do the menial work of rebounding pick-and-rolls all game long.

Anyway, he is also a member of the champion brotherhood, how can he do such a thing?

Smith got his fourth shot, a dignified man, born proud, unfazed, and missed the fourth open mid-range shot.

Spanoulis put his hands on his hips, helplessly, and fouled Roy casually, preventing them from counterattacking.

"What a rubbish number one fraternity!"

Bai Jidong complained.

Smith blushed, "I just don't feel good."

"Okay, go down, I believe Olo will win you over." Bai Jidong said as he stepped onto the stage.
