According to the league's schedule, the Timberwolves' schedule in November can be said to be very easy. After the game against the Heat, the Timberwolves also took four days of rest.

Da Zhuang was also very humane and took a day off.

But then the Timberwolves will face their first strong opponent since the start of the regular season this season.

On November 12, the Timberwolves will face the challenge of the Houston Rockets at their home stadium Target Center.

When the free market just opened this summer, it was not the Cleveland Cavaliers who took the lead, but the Rockets, Mavericks, Knicks and Pelicans. The four teams were the first to press the trade button.

First, Shuhao Lin and a first-round pick next year were traded to the Lakers, and all they got was part of the cash and the signing rights of an overseas player. Everyone understood the purpose of the Rockets' deal, which was purely to clear salary space so they could pursue Bosh.

It's a pity that in the end, Bosh's contract extension with the Heat made the Rockets' series of trading operations completely unsuccessful.

Then, two days after the trade with the Lakers, the Rockets, Wizards and Pelicans conducted a wave of three-way trades.

The Wizards adopted a sign-and-trade method to send Ariza, the Pelicans sent Alonzo, Hopson, Eli and a 15-year protected first rounder, while the Rockets sent Asik and Kawhi

Sibi and some cash, thereby getting Ariza, Alonzo, Hopson, and the Pelicans' first-round pick.

The Rockets then traded Alonzo to the Kings, acquiring Terry and the Kings' first-round picks as well as a second-round pick from the Knicks in 2016.

In addition, after being unable to acquire Bosh in the free market, the Rockets also signed two insiders, namely Joey Dorsey and Adrian. However, from the outside world, these two people are more of a complement to the depth of the lineup.

.

The game between the Timberwolves and the Rockets is also the focus of this round.

The grudges between the two teams are also extremely complicated. First of all, on the Chinese fans side, one was once the most popular NBA team in China, and the other is now the NBA team with the largest number of fans in China. These two

The duel between the teams naturally attracted the attention of all Chinese fans.

In addition, regarding the relationship between the head coaches of the two teams, everyone in the league now knows that the relationship between Chen Dazhuang, Carlisle and Vogel is very good. The three can be said to be very good friends. As Chen Dazhuang once said,

In an interview, he said that we are not friends but brothers. Although this sentence is a joke, it is enough to show that the relationship between the three is very good. Now the showdown between the two has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

.

In addition, there is a gimmick such as Lin Shuhao facing his old club.

There is also the relationship between Harden and Chen Dazhuang of the Rockets. This is also well-known in the league. In last year's All-Star Game, Chen Dazhuang praised Harden as the All-Star MVP. I still remember clearly.

Combining these focuses, naturally the attention of this game, promoted by the league, quickly attracted the attention of fans around the world.

The time finally came on November 12, and the two teams arrived at the target center almost at the same time in the afternoon.

Naturally, old friends are extremely jealous when they meet each other.

"Chen, I won't be soft today. I'm afraid you are going to suffer your first defeat of the season."

"Hey, who gave you the confidence? Rick, I'm a little worried that you might not last long as a head coach. Forget it, who made us friends? After thinking about it, I still won't let you lose too miserably.

Otherwise, I’m worried that you may become the first head coach to be fired this season. Have you forgotten how you left in Dallas last time?”

Immediately after hearing this, Carlisle's face stopped looking. The guy in front of him was specialized in uncovering scars.

Seeing Carlisle's face turn ugly, Da Zhuang also smiled unkindly, "You are stupid, you are talking trash to me, you are the only one who can make you doubt your life."

Forget it, let’s make one more cut!

"Rick, what's wrong with you? It's okay. Don't worry. I think you should be immune to this. After all, you have already experienced it once. If this is Frank, I guess it won't work. That guy is too mentally fragile.

"

"Chen, knowing you is the most regretful thing I have ever done in my life. I will definitely win this game," Carlisle turned around and left after saying those harsh words, without any desire to continue the conversation.

.

Are you sure you'll win? I think you'll lose all your money.

The scene of the exchange between the two people also attracted the attention of the reporters on the scene, but because the sound of the exchange between the two was very low, no one heard their conversation. If this was spread, it is estimated that Da Zhuang would be a hot topic, and his mouth would be popular.

Poisonous state.

To be honest, Da Zhuang is really not joking. He has studied the Rockets' current lineup. He is not worried about the Timberwolves' current lineup configuration against the Rockets. That is to say, Deng is a little more difficult to deal with. I guess Middleton may not be able to do it.

If it's hard for the opponent, I'm still confident about being strong in other positions, and even if Middleton can't guard Deng, it's probably not easy for Deng to guard Middleton, and to be honest, it depends on Deng's defense.

Moodful.

And as far as he knows, within the Rockets, the relationship between Deng and Howard is already a bit tense.

In addition, he knew that as long as Howard was on the court, the Rockets' offensive speed would be greatly reduced, but he didn't know how Carlisle solved this problem.

Soon after entering the arena to warm up, both parties returned to the locker room for final arrangements and mobilization.

At this time, Yang Yi and Zhang Lili were also discussing the current situation of the two teams in the Penguins live broadcast room.

"Does Zhang Zhi have anything to share with our fans about today's game? I think today's game will be very enjoyable."

"Yes, in comparison, the Rockets' actions in the summer are relatively big. Not only the players but also the head coach have been changed. To be honest, many people have not thought of changing the head coach, but in the trading market

The operation actually failed, and this has been questioned a lot."

"The pursuit of Bosh failed, which caused all the previous attempts to win Bosh to be in vain."

"The Timberwolves' news in the summer has been much lower-key. Apart from laying off a few people, it was the deal with the Lakers, and the rest was the signing of rookies."

"Speaking of rookies, I have to admit that the several rookies selected by the Timberwolves are currently performing very well, and Da Zhuang's vision is also very vicious."

"Yes, in the first five games, several rookies have performed very well, especially Zach LaVine. I think this rookie should be underestimated in previous draft predictions."
