Chapter 188 Preseason

Author: Different Sparks

From the beginning in 2004 to now, the NBA China Game has gone through ten years.

This event is popular among fans almost every year, and this year it is even more so. Because of the Timberwolves, the original 500 tickets were priced up by 1,000, making it difficult to get a ticket.

The level of excitement was even far greater than the first time in 2004, and the role played by the Timberwolves in this cannot be ignored. Even Xiao Hua, who has always been at odds with Dazhuang, had to pay attention to this situation.

In fact, since last year's Chinese National Games, Chinese fans have gradually begun to feel a sense of aesthetic fatigue. Basically, all the big-name players who can come to the NBA have already been here, but unexpectedly, the sudden rise of the Timberwolves has made up for Yao Ming's departure.

The vacuum that followed quickly allowed domestic fans to find someone to pay attention to again.

Today's game naturally attracted some celebrities from the domestic entertainment industry. Before the game even started, the cameras on the scene had already started looking for some interesting shots.

Penguin Sports also started live broadcasting this game early today.

In the live broadcast room, Yang Yi and Zhang Lili were also discussing some NBA news during the off-season, especially things about the Timberwolves.

Soon both sides appeared on the court, and cheers like a landslide and tsunami erupted from the scene. It could be clearly heard that Chen Dazhuang's voice was the loudest.

The two teams were warming up before the game, but what Da Zhuang didn't expect was that the cheeky Popovich came over.

"Chen, it doesn't feel good to be plotted against."

"Hey, we are rivals now. Stay away from me. I'm so damn afraid that I won't be able to resist."

The old guy didn't pick up any of the pots. He thought he was going to say something. He was just here to expose the scars.

"We are not rivals. Chen, are you interested in making a deal?"

"Mr. Popovich, if you have a trade idea, go talk to Milt. I'm just a head coach, and if it's Chris's, there's no need to talk."

"I don't want Chris, what about Anthony?"

"What? Who do you want?"

For a moment, Da Zhuang suspected that he was hearing hallucinations and what tricks was this old guy playing?

"Anthony Bennett, you heard that right."

"Is Kawhi leaving? No, I haven't heard the news."

"How about it?"

"Then what are you willing to give me?"

"Manu!"

Get lost, this old guy wants to eat shit, Da Zhuang wants to leave without even looking back, this guy just made him a fool, no, damn, this guy thinks the whole world is a fool, he thinks he is the only one

Smart people.

To be honest, even if he wants to trade, Chen Dazhuang is most reluctant to trade with the Spurs at this stage. He has no chips in his hand and has no attraction other than Leonard.

Damn it, he said it out loud, traded Ginobili to me for Bennett, and I went, and it seemed like I was taking advantage.

"I can give you the second round next year."

"No, even if you give me the first round, I won't agree. Besides, there is no difference between your first round and the second round. Another very important point is that I have no interest in the draft picks now. If you want to trade

It's not impossible, you give me Kawhi, and I give you Anthony, it's a matchup exchange, both in terms of salary and position, and you also take advantage, Anthony is the No. 1 pick in the draft."

What the heck, the second round. If anyone in the league has the least attractive draft picks, it’s the Spurs. You make the playoffs every damn year, and your record is pretty good, either in the second round or in the Western Conference Finals.

Yes, what’s the difference between the first round and the second round?

However, the reason why the conversation continued was not that Da Zhuang wanted to trade, but that this guy suddenly set his target on Bennett, which made him a little strange.

In the Spurs' current lineup, Leonard is the main force at the third position. What are you going to do with another third position? For a while, Da Zhuang really couldn't figure out what this old fox was doing.

"Then if Anthony can't do it, you can give me the rookie center you selected this year. That's okay."

Okay, there's no need to talk anymore. After all the nonsense, Bennett is just a cover. The target is Jokic.

This time Da Zhuang really turned around and left. He patiently chatted with him just to figure out what this guy wanted to do. Now that he figured it out, of course he had to leave immediately.

As for why the guy would like Jokic, that's not important.

Soon the warm-up for both sides ended and the game was about to begin.

As the game time approached, the atmosphere at the scene became more and more lively. Soon, with the shouts of the DJ on site, the audience was mobilized, and the entrance ceremony of the home team Timberwolves began.

After accepting the league's request for today's game, Da Zhuang also arranged for the main lineup to start.

Shuhao Lin, Middleton, Bennett, Yi Jianlian and Oden formed the Timberwolves' starting five in today's game.

The Spurs' starting lineup is Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan and Diaw.

The system was the same as last year and there was no buff refresh as usual in this preseason game. However, even though this was the case, the Timberwolves played very strongly after the start.

The Timberwolves' first attack gave the fans in attendance a big surprise.

After Lin Shuhao lobbed the ball to Oden, Diaw kept retreating under the force of Oden's back hit. Duncan saw this and had to step forward to help defend. But after Duncan moved, Oden directly looked away.

Throwing the ball into the air behind him.

Following the cheers of the fans at the scene, Yi Jianlian dunked the ball in the air with one hand.

A very beautiful alley-oop kicked off the Chinese game.

Next it was the Spurs' turn to attack. Leonard also made Bennett a little embarrassed. However, after a summer of additional training during the offseason, Bennett's frontal defensive ability has been greatly improved, so despite being beaten by Leonard

De crossed half of his body, but still put enough pressure on the opponent.

Leonard was finally forced to hand the ball to Duncan, and then Shi Fo's unique skill hit a rebound shot.

Following the Timberwolves' offensive possession, Lin Shuhao made a mistake after Yi Jianlian picked and rolled. It was obvious that his tacit understanding with Yi Jianlian was not enough.

As a result, Parker seized the opportunity to complete the steal, and then threw the ball to Leonard. In the end, Leonard's dunk completed the lead.

4 to 2, looking back, Lin Shuhao's offense this time brought the ball to the frontcourt and immediately handed it to Middleton. After Middleton used a pick-and-roll to fake a shot to attract the Spurs' defensive attention, he

The ball was handed to Bennett who was left open. Bennett did not waste this opportunity and scored an open three-pointer from the bottom corner.
