Chapter 12 Capturing the Bull

After a day off on November 8, 2013, the Timberwolves continued to sit at the target center. This time they faced the challenge of the Dallas Mavericks.

Since the Mavericks relied on a group of veterans to win the first NBA championship in history in the 2010-1011 season, a series of wrong decisions have caused the Mavericks to never regain their former glory in the following seasons.

Last season, they missed the playoffs.

Therefore, the Mavericks also made a lot of adjustments to their lineup this summer. Comparatively speaking, among the Western Conference teams, the Mavericks' lineup changes are comparable to those of the Rockets.

Signed Monta Ellis for 30 million in 3 years, Calderon for 29 million in 4 years, Brandon Wright for 10 million in 2 years, Juan Blair, Ellington, and Dalembo.

The special class was signed by the Mavericks one after another.

This shows that Dallas is also ambitious for the new season and hopes to make a breakthrough in the new season.

However, after the start of the season, the Dallas Mavericks' record did not satisfy Dallas fans. They had 3 wins and 2 losses in the first five games, especially the Texas derby loss to the Rockets on November 1, which made Rick Carlisle also

There were certain doubts, but fortunately, the Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies and Lakers in the next two games, which was a relief for Carlisle.

It's just that Carlisle didn't have time to be happy for too long. In the last round, the Mavericks met the Thunder away from home.

In the end, Dallas lost the game 93-107.

So for the next game against the Timberwolves, Carlisle is determined to win.

"The victory will definitely belong to Dallas. I watched the Timberwolves game, and I think luck is more important. Whether it is the lineup or the team's tactics, I think there is no possibility of Dallas losing in this game, and I never think that a

The 26-year-old young man is suitable for the position of NBA head coach, and he is also a Chinese. I think when the buzzer sounds at the end of the game, it will be a moment for us Dallas people to cheer."

After the Dallas Mavericks arrived in Apollos, Carlisle also accepted an interview with reporters. His disdain for Chen Dazhuang can be seen from his words.

The reporter also conveyed Carlisle's words to Chen Dazhuang.

"I trust my team members, and I believe they will use practical actions to tell each other that this is the target center."

When responding, Chen Dazhuang seemed confident.

In the locker room, when Chen Dazhuang clicked on the system, he also showed a satisfied smile.

Stable! Looking at the five BUFFs refreshed in front of him, Chen Dazhuang suddenly thought of these two words.

In the first quarter of the game, the three-point shooting percentage of the shooting guard combination increases by 50% (only PG+SG has the effect, and the hidden attributes of the two passing each other will increase the shooting percentage by 10%.)

Within thirty minutes, the rebounding ability of the inside combination increases by 50% (only for PF+C, each offensive rebound the two people grab will increase the opponent's shooting percentage by 10%)

The breakthrough success rate of the entire forward-guard combination increases by 50% (only for SG+SF, each dunk by SF will increase the breakthrough success rate of the two players by 1%.)

80% three-point shooting rate in the last minute of each quarter (single BUFF, limited to PF.)

The steal success rate increases by 30% in the last three minutes of each quarter (single BUFF, only available in SF.)

The game started at the referee's whistle, with the same starting lineup as in previous games.

The Timberwolves' starting five are still Rubio, Martin, Brewer, Love, and Pekovic.

The Mavericks' starting lineup is Calderon, Ellis, Marion, Nowitzki, and Dalembert.

"Charles, do you think the Mavericks will really be able to take away the victory from Target Center today as Rick said?" The commentary box is still the old TNT partners of Smith and Barkley.

"Oh, God, if the Timberwolves show half of their ability in the last game, the Mavericks will be beaten to death. I really don't understand where Rick's confidence comes from."

As if to verify Barkley's words, at the beginning of the game, when the Timberwolves were attacking, Martin was facing the basket sideways. After receiving Rubio's pass, he turned around in the air and made a pull-up, even waiting for a moment.

drift.

Ellis, who was responsible for guarding him, had a height difference of ten centimeters from Martin. In addition, he was not prepared at all, so he just stood there and raised his hand, and Martin jumped up and completed the shot.

When he turned around, the basketball fell into the basket accurately.

Accompanying this three-pointer, there was a tsunami of cheers and applause from the entire target center.

"Oh my God, Kenny, did you see that? The Oklahoma front office should resign en masse. Is this a player that can just be sold? Kevin is a superstar.

"

"I saw it, but I really don't understand why Kevin didn't perform like this last season. Why did he suddenly change when he came to the Timberwolves? Does that Oriental who only knows how to sit there and eat hamburgers really have magic?

"Charles, think about Kevin last season, Corey last season, and what about this season? I heard that the Timberwolves have received trade applications from many teams."

Barkley and Smith really couldn't figure it out, because the next Timberwolves once again played a dominant performance, and it was a truly blossoming performance inside and outside. Of course, although it was not as explosive as the last game against the Warriors, it was thorough from the beginning of the game.

Controlled the flow of the game.

Martin and Rubio continued to show off their power on the outside. Both of their three-point shooting percentages in the first quarter remained above 60%. The Mavericks' shots were numb, and Love and Pekovic in the inside were even better.

It left Nowitzki and Dalembert in a state of disarray, and Nowitzki's golden rooster independence was a direct misfire.

In the second quarter of the game, both teams came out as substitutes. Brewer, who stayed on the court, became the most handsome kid on the court. The Mavericks' outside defenders were overwhelmed by various breakthroughs. Brewer kept showing off.

Breakthrough layup.

After two quarters of the game, Rick Carlisle no longer considered winning the game because it was too far away from them. At this moment, Carlisle just hoped not to lose too much in this game.

As for what he said in the pre-match interview, forget it! Just pretend I didn’t say it.

117 to 91, Timberwolves fans. When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, just when Chen Dazhuang stood up and waved to the fans in the stands, all the fans in the audience stood up and worshiped Chen Dazhuang.

In this way, they thanked Chen Dazhuang for leading the Timberwolves to their sixth consecutive victory this season.

This is the best start in Timberwolves history.

And the day after the game ended, TNT revealed big news about the Timberwolves. According to TNT's report, the Timberwolves had reached a trade agreement with the Heat for Brewer, and had reached a deal with the Bucks for Peko.

The news of Veach's trade once again put the Timberwolves at the forefront.
