Chapter 206: Hitting the muzzle
Popovich is very confident in this game, and despite the fact that he says he can help Dazhuang, he actually wishes the Timberwolves would collapse. The old guy is one of the league's head coaches who studies the Timberwolves very carefully.
, he can tell from the Timberwolves' lineup configuration and the Timberwolves' selection in the draft this summer that the young man has good intentions.
The potential shown by the current group of Wolves, if nothing happens, if this young man is allowed to lead for another two years, then in this league, at least the aging Spurs will no longer be an opponent, and this year is the best chance to defeat the opponent.
, because although the young people of the Timberwolves are sometimes better than their youth, it is also true that the emotions of young people fluctuate too much, just like the Thunder back then.
But after the game started, the Timberwolves' performance seemed not to be affected by the previous three consecutive losses.
In the first attack, when Oden was holding the ball and hitting Duncan with his back, he suddenly passed a wonderful pass. Dinwiddie, who received the ball, faked a shot and attracted the attention of the Spurs' defense, and then suddenly transferred the ball to the bottom.
The corner had been left in the hands of Middleton, who naturally did not miss this opportunity.
A precise open three-pointer sounded the Timberwolves' offensive horn.
After this three-pointer, the Timberwolves players seemed to have completely woken up from their slumber. Middleton, Dinwiddie, and Bennett frequently hit three-pointers from the outside, including Yi Jianlian from time to time on the inside.
Pick and roll, then catch the ball and make a three-pointer from the outside.
A sudden three-point rainstorm immediately gave the Spurs a chill.
Less than three minutes into the game, the Spurs stopped the game.
A 12-2 climax made Popovich dumbfounded on the sidelines. It was simply unlucky to open the door for him. Unlucky as hell. Looking at the performance of the Timberwolves in the previous three games, Popovich originally wanted to
The forest wolf stood on the edge of the cliff and kicked his body again, but this time he kicked the body on the iron plate.
But how could a short pause change this situation.
Return to the court after the timeout.
Not only does this three-point rainstorm show no signs of stopping, it also seems to be turning into three-point hail.
Not only are Middleton and others' three-pointers extremely accurate, but Grant and LaVine, who came on the bench, are the same. LaVine, who always likes to break through and get into the paint to cause damage, has also changed his past habits and frequently hits three-pointers with Grant from the outside.
point.
As a result, at the beginning of the second quarter, Popovich, who switched to a rotating lineup, lasted less than three minutes before having to switch to the main lineup, because although the main lineup was at a disadvantage on the court, at least
If there is still a glimmer of hope, then the rotation of the lineup will not be a disadvantage on the court, but a collapse, the kind of collapse that is about to collapse.
This made Popovich a little suspicious of life, standing on the sidelines and kept looking towards Da Zhuang.
"That guy has been looking at you." Smith said to Da Zhuang after seeing it.
"Ignore him. This guy is not a good person. Let's teach him a profound lesson this time. Isn't it good to retire well at your age?" Da Zhuang said.
At 5 minutes and 36 seconds into the second quarter, Chen Dazhong replaced all the main players with a wave of his hand and began to harvest the game.
The well-rested Timberwolves took over the game as soon as they came on the court, never giving the Spurs any chance.
This game is completely the opposite of the classic game where the two teams played two overtimes last time. The last time the two sides played an anxious game, the strength of both sides was evenly matched, and they fought until the end.
There was a winner and loser, and although there was a winner or loser in that game, there was actually no loser.
But this game was a disastrous defeat for the Spurs, a disastrous defeat in which many Spurs fans began to leave the game before the fourth quarter even started.
After three quarters, the score difference was 91 to 68, a 23-point difference, which made the entire fourth quarter completely without suspense.
When the fourth quarter started, Popovich, who had been standing on the sidelines, sat quietly in his seat, holding his chin in one hand and sitting there wondering what he was thinking.
Coincidentally, Da Zhuang on the other side was in the same posture as Popovich at the moment, both of them expressionless.
Reporters on the sidelines also recorded this scene.
Finally, with the referee's whistle, this powerful dialogue that attracted much attention from fans came to an end.
The score between the two sides was also fixed at 124 to 97.
The Timberwolves defeated the Spurs by 27 points at the AT&T Center Arena, thus ending their losing streak.
Many Timberwolves fans as far away as Minneapolis cheered and celebrated the team's victory the moment the referee's whistle sounded. At this moment, their hearts that had been hanging on them were finally put back.
They knew that the invincible Timber Wolf was back.
"I think many people will be disappointed in today's game. We don't seem to have won the game as some people said. The former Timberwolves are back, so I don't know if some people are ready.
?" At the post-match press conference, Da Zhuang said directly into the microphone without waiting for reporters to ask questions.
Indeed, as he said, the day after the game, major media once again put the Timberwolves on their front pages, but this time it was overwhelming praise.
"Hua Guochen announced with a big win at the AT&T Center that the terrifying Timber Wolf is back!"
"The terrifying Timber Wolf, the terrifying outside line, the Timber Wolf returns with the Spurs' body!"
"The Wolf King is back!"
"Timberwolves end their losing streak!"
After the game with the Spurs, the Timberwolves team returned to Apolis that day. The next day, Smith and others were happily discussing with newspapers. Unlike Da Zhuang, Smith liked to see newspapers the most.
There are news that praise the Timberwolves, so every time the Timberwolves make the headlines, this guy will definitely buy a lot of newspapers, and he can't wait to buy them all.
But as said before, defeating the Spurs does not mean that the test is over. Next, the Timberwolves will welcome the Golden State Warriors at home.
The feud between Chen Dazhuang and Curry is almost an open matter, so the next game of the Timberwolves will naturally attract a lot of attention.
On the afternoon of December 8, the entire Golden State Warriors team arrived at the Target Center.
As soon as the Warriors appeared on the scene, reporters who had been waiting for them immediately surrounded them, and the target was naturally Stephen Curry.
