The older superstars of the NBA

Chapter 201 Returning to Oakland

Zach LaVine's dunk stunned the crowd.

Kevin Martin, who was buckled, came back to his senses after being shocked.

"Damn!"

Kevin Martin was very upset.

Zach LaVine used to be the team's backup guard, and to him, he was just an inconspicuous rookie.

Although there are some talents, it still needs more time to grow, and it is completely impossible to pose a threat to him now.

As a result, the opponent rushed into the starting lineup relying on Zhao Feiyang, and was still riding a buckle on his head, which made Kevin Martin feel disrespected.

Soon Group B counterattacked.

After halftime, Kevin Martin deliberately changed positions with Maurice Williams temporarily, and let Zach LaVine come up to mark him.

After the misplaced defense, Kevin Martin opened the singles. Facing Zach LaVine's pressing every step of the way, he stepped back and raised a three-pointer and shot directly.

boom.

The basketball bounced out of the basket.

Perhaps it was because he hadn't actually fought for many days, and Zach LaVine's defense was even harder than before, so his touch became misfired.

The rebound was taken by Group A.

Zach LaVine crossed the half with the ball, and Kevin Martin chased after him, planning to go up and show him some color.As a result, just after halftime, Zhao Feiyang directly came up to pick and roll to cover, and Zach LaVine took advantage of the situation and rushed to the basket.

"Stay on him."

Kevin Martin shouted to Kevin Garnett inside.

Kevin Garnett immediately defended from the flank, seeing that he had already blocked Zach LaVine's shooting space, but he threw the ball with a high throw.

The basketball flew up in the air and soon fell to the right side of the basket.

Andrew Wiggins seized the opportunity to drive to the hoop from the right corner, caught a throw from Zach LaVine and dunked the ball in.

"it is good."

"pretty."

The wonderful cooperation even the teaching assistants on the sidelines couldn't help applauding.

This style of play really put Maurice Williams and Kevin Martin into anxiety.

"Kevin, how did you defend? Block them, understand?"

"What? Is it my fault? Why can't you even look down on Zach? Dude, you're a veteran of the league..."

The two complained to each other, and their words were quite dissatisfied.

The match continues.

Maurice Williams and Kevin Martin showed a very focused attitude, taking marking measures from the beginning and following their own people all the time.

However, whether it was Zhao Feiyang or Zach LaVine, they didn't adopt too many singles tactics, especially the method of opening singles in positional battles, the two of them didn't plan to use it at all.

Zhao Feiyang and Zach LaVine have a good understanding. They both rely on screen pick-and-rolls to find the opponent's loopholes first. Unless there is a chance to break through, otherwise they will never play alone easily.

This kind of tactic of constantly running also made the entire Group A enter the state, no one can watch the excitement, and no one can work hard without sweating.

Even Andrew Wiggins, in this case, increased the number of attacks and runs.

Although the competition is not scored, as time goes by, the gap between group a and group b is getting wider and wider.Kevin Martin's trio generally didn't talk about their cooperation, and even blamed each other. Compared with the clean and tacit cooperation in Group A, their performance can be said to be the representative of the previous Timberwolves team.

call out.

The whistle sounded.

Head coach Philip Saunders signaled for the break.

The two sides who finished the match finally sat down on the field.

Maurice Williams and Kevin Martin's serious defense not only didn't make Zhao Feiyang unhappy, but made him feel extremely enjoyable.

The same goes for Zach LaVine.

The entire Group A showed a high fighting spirit.

Only Maurice Williams and Kevin Martin were exhausted.

The two of them sat on the team bench panting continuously, and muttered while drinking sports drinks.

"Damn confrontation....This is almost the same intensity as an official game. It even feels like a playoff. If I continue to play like this, I don't think my career can last for a few more years... ...."

"I just want to play comfortably for the next few seasons... Can't even the Timberwolves retire?"

A day of training is over quickly.

Although there are some minor problems, the overall Timberwolves are still stable. Even Kevin Garnett, who was a little dissatisfied before, has gradually fallen into a trap after the comfort and care of head coach Philip Saunders. In silence.

The next game is coming soon.

This time is different from the past. The Timberwolves will fly to the away game, and the competition location will be in Oakland.

That's right, their next opponent is the Golden State Warriors.

Compared with the winning streak of the Timberwolves, the Golden State Warriors finally won a game in the last game after winning and losing for a while and won another victory.

However, their ranking is still in the fourth place in the West, and there is even a vague risk of falling to fifth in the West.

Fortunately, Stephen Curry recovered in the last game. He played 31 minutes in the whole game and scored a game-high 36 points. While revitalizing the Warriors, it also gave the fans in the Bay Area a feeling of returning to the past.

Therefore, many people think that the Golden State Warriors have entered the recovery period.

Compared with the No.4 of the Golden State Warriors, the Timberwolves' ranking at this time is really terrible.They were at the bottom of the list before, but relying on their recent victories, they finally climbed two places. To put it bluntly, they are No. 12 in the West, and to put it bluntly, they are fourth from the bottom in the West.

It is undoubtedly extremely difficult to beat the Golden State Warriors with this kind of achievement.

When the fans in the Bay Area learned that Zhao Feiyang was going to bring the Timberwolves back, they were all looking forward to the game.

Arena tickets are sold out long before the game.

However, this still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans in the Bay Area. Many people didn't get the tickets and didn't give up. They planned to stand under the big screen outside the arena and cheer for Zhao Feiyang.

When the Warriors learned that Zhao Feiyang was coming back to play, they specially made an official trailer to warm up.

However, the players reacted differently. Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry both expressed their welcome. They both looked very friendly in the official trailer.

Only Draymond Green is still the same as before.

He forwarded the official trailer on his personal social media account, and then Aite Zhao Feiyang added a text, "You can't beat us, the Warriors can't beat!"

"Boy, I will let you leave Oakland disappointed!"

Zhao Feiyang didn't pay attention to all these movements, he just calmly chose to turn a blind eye.He didn't fly to Oakland with his teammates until the game day.
