It can be seen from the attack just now that Howard's defensive attitude is very negative. In fact, he was not completely out of position in this alley-oop and had a chance to defend. But unfortunately, facing Oden's jump, this guy didn't even touch his toes.

Lifting off the ground, he just stretched out his hand symbolically.

Carlisle, who was on the sidelines, naturally saw this scene, and his expression was a little ugly.

Not to mention Harden on the court.

In fact, Da Zhuang feels that Howard cannot be blamed. He was originally a core team leader and finally came here after traveling to the West. You always use him as a blue-collar center. No one can stand this. In fact, when he first joined the Rockets

Howard's performance was quite good, but then the fuss became what it is now.

Sometimes Da Zhuang can't understand what's going on with these people.

I really agree with that sentence, there is no room for two tigers in a mountain unless there is one male and one female. Don’t have too many examples of this in the past life. If you don’t talk about it from far away, just talk about the Rockets in front of you. After Paul came, he and Deng broke up in the end on bad terms. Durant

The relationship between the Warriors and Dream Chasers wasn't that great either, and the same was true for the OK group back then.

So this is also the reason why Da Zhuang was a little resistant to Garnett's return from the beginning. In addition, he also firmly implemented the management policy that Carter is the leader in the locker room and Oden is the core on the court.

In addition, everyone in the Timberwolves knows that the team leader is Chen Dazhuang, and everyone else should sit back and not jump in line.

The game on the court continues, and naturally Lin Shuhao's performance also continues.

Cannan couldn't guard Shuhao Lin by himself, so Carlisle had to arrange a double-team on Shuhao Lin. However, as a result, the Rockets' openings became wider and wider. Middleton and Bennett got opportunities on the outside one after another.

And both of them seized this opportunity, which made Carlisle's double-team defensive tactics ineffective.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was fixed at 35 to 26. The score difference of 9 points was still very large for a quarter of the game. In addition, if Harden's performance on the offensive end, the score difference might have been more than that.

many.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Dazhuang directly arranged three rookies, Dinwiddie, LaVine and Grant. In Dazhuang's view, today's game is definitely a good opportunity to train.

If Lin Shuhao plays a traditional point guard, then the combination of Dinwiddie and LaVine is much more aggressive, and the two even play a position-changing style.

They are combo guards, Dinwiddie at 1.98 meters and LaVine at 1.96 meters. They face Terry at 1.88 meters and Daniels at 1.93 meters. Both of them have the ability to face the frame from the front.

Especially in LaVine's first step, his explosiveness and speed were something that Old Terry and an undrafted player could not withstand.

"Spencer is better than Zach in handling the ball in the offense, but Zach is really strong in terms of speed, but I feel like he is afraid of physical contact, and his three-point shooting rate is very unstable. Next

We still need to give them more training in these two aspects." Da Zhuang said to Smith next to him while watching the game on the court.

"But I think Spencer's strength needs to be strengthened."

"Well, yes, Jerami's shooting also needs more practice." Just in time to see Grant, who was left open on the court, miss a three-pointer from the bottom corner, Da Zhuang also added.

When Dazhuang and Smith were chatting about LaVine and Dinwiddie, Carlisle on the sidelines frowned even deeper. He even felt a little envious of Chen Dazhuang. Looking at the performance of the three Timberwolves rookies on the court, Carlisle felt that the entire league

The front offices of any of the 29 teams with picks in the top 30 picks can commit collective suicide.

Let’s not talk about LaVine, the No. 9 pick, but let’s talk about the No. 3 player wearing the Timberwolves’ No. 9 jersey on the field. He is a complete replica of Bennett. Although his shots are unstable, if not for this defense,

If it was his own player, Carlisle would have applauded him.

Carlisle felt that this player needed to be picked in at least the top 20 picks, so why did he choose it for the Timberwolves? Everyone else was blind, or collectively.

And this backup point guard, what the hell is this? Carlisle thinks this guy can really play from the one to the three position.

What the hell are Kevin and Darrell doing?

Carlisle watched as LaVine easily passed Daniels in one step. Then, after entering the paint, he was double-teamed by Black and the Greek forward Kostas who had just signed in the summer. LaVine directly passed the ball from

Costas sent a shot between his legs to Grant, who was left open again, and Grant adjusted and accurately hit the three-pointer.

Carlisle covered his forehead helplessly.

The second quarter lasted just over three minutes, and Carlisle could only replace his main players to see if he could hold on.

Here, after Chen Dazhuang saw that the opponent had replaced the main force, he did not immediately adjust the lineup. Instead, he let the main force rest for a while according to the original plan. In addition, he also wanted to use the Rockets' main force to put enough pressure on the three rookies.

Especially when LaVine faces the impact of top offensive players like Harden, he can expose some problems, which also makes it easier for the coaching staff to adjust his training content.

After the Rockets' main force came on the field, they did gain some upper hand against the Timberwolves' rotation and recovered some of the widened point difference. However, in Dazhuang's view, this may not necessarily be a problem for the Timberwolves.

bad thing.

And although the three rookies looked a little embarrassed, the young people's fighting spirit was always strong, so even if they were a little weak on defense, the combination of the three in offense put a smile on the face of the big man on the sidelines.

At 6 minutes and 13 seconds of the second quarter, Da Zhuang gradually replaced all the main players, which also meant that Da Zhuang was about to start harvesting the game.

Soon after the main players came on the field, under Shuhao Lin's organization, the Timberwolves quickly controlled the situation on the court and once again opened up the score little by little, while Carlisle could only watch helplessly when faced with such a disadvantage.

Look, no matter how he adjusts, he still can't solve the problem.

At the end of the first half, the Timberwolves entered the halftime break leading the Rockets by 16 points, 68-52.

Originally a game that the outside world thought would be the first test for the Timberwolves this season, it turned out to be a one-sided game for everyone. When everyone who paid attention to this game lamented for the Rockets,

I can't help but be a little shocked by the strength of the Timberwolves, especially Shuhao Lin and the three rookies of the Timberwolves.
