Chapter 213 Niwai’s schedule

The Pacers, who dominated the Eastern Conference last season, did encounter a very unfortunate thing this summer. The core of the team, Paul George, suffered the most serious injury in his career, and the cause of the injury is very disturbing.

Unexpectedly, during the Dream Team's internal confrontation training on August 2, George accidentally stepped on the basketball hoop while guarding James Harden, directly causing a serious injury to his calf fracture.

It was basically announced that the regular season would be reimbursed, which made Vogel very angry, but he could only accept it helplessly. Later, in order to compensate for Paul George's sudden injury, the Pacers also temporarily changed their summer reinforcement strategy.

And to make matters worse, Stephenson, the shooting guard last season, switched to the Hornets.

As a result, the Pacers led by Vogel are stretched in terms of lineup configuration.

After the start of the regular season, the Pacers' performance was also unsatisfactory. Compared with last season, it can be said that there have been earth-shaking changes. This season, the Pacers have played 17 games and have only achieved a record of 8 wins and 19 losses.

.

Therefore, in this game against the Timberwolves, many people are not optimistic about the Pacers. After all, it is still an away game. The only thing that is beneficial to the Pacers is that the current Timberwolves lineup is also incomplete.

On December 21, the entire Pacers team arrived in Minneapolis, and Vogel was interviewed by reporters at the Target Center. He asked reporters whether he was confident in this matchup with Chen Dazhuang.

type of problem.

Vogel also expressed his confidence in this game very confidently.

But at the same time, he also said that this will definitely be a difficult game for the Pacers. Only when the players maintain enough concentration can they hope to defeat their opponents.

Some reporters also wanted to make things worse between the two friends, but Da Zhuang would not be fooled.

"I heard from those guys that you are very confident that you can beat me in this game?"

"Of course, who do you think you are? No one can win?"

When he came to the court to warm up, Da Zhuang took the initiative to find Vogel.

"Of course, I am the championship winner. Look, you don't even have an Eastern Conference championship. Do you still want to beat me?"

"Farke, get out!" Vogel gave Chen Dazhuang two middle fingers on the spot. This guy is so annoying. Does anyone have such a chat?

"Oh, there are so many reporters around."

"If I hadn't expected so many reporters, I would have taught you a lesson a long time ago. Get out of here, I don't know you."

"You said why you are so unlucky, the only core member is injured, and I think you won't even make it to the playoffs this season. Frank, I guess you will have to find a job again next season, otherwise it will be like this

, I still need an assistant coach, how about it? Think about it, you know me, I have very high requirements for assistants, I only invited you because of the relationship between us, oh, don’t leave,

Damn it, you’re waiting for me to finish what I’m saying.”

Vogel's face was livid and his body was even trembling. He clenched his fists and finally held back, but turned around and left. He felt that he didn't want to hear another word from the guy in front of him. If he continued to listen, he would definitely beat him up.

This guy came here specifically to ridicule him, and now he knows it.

"This guy is too mentally fragile and he left before I even said a few words."

"Chen, have you ever thought about the few friends you have in total? If you go first like this, there will be fewer and fewer. If I were Frank, I would have severed ties with you." Smith looked at Chen Dazhuang and said.

How the hell are you talking? Can you chat? Chen Dazhuang gave Smith a roll of his eyes.

The system also gave Da Zhuang enough confidence for this game. When Da Zhuang returned to the locker room and saw the three red buffs in the system, his expression became even more relaxed.

It is worth mentioning that in order to cope with the upcoming away games, Dazhuang also made adjustments to the starting lineup. In addition to Oden and Bennett continuing to start, Dazhuang also made adjustments to the outside line.

Dinwiddie, LaVine, Grant, Bennett and Oden formed the Timberwolves' starting five.

The Pacers' starting lineup is Watson, Stuckey, Solomon Hill, David West, and Hibbert.

It is worth mentioning that Hill is a rookie of the Pacers in the summer, and Stuckey is also a free agent signed in the summer. From this lineup, we can see how difficult it is for Vogel to arrange the lineup this season.

Although Vogel showed strong confidence in the interview before the game, this confidence disappeared without a trace after the game started. From the beginning of the game, the outside combination of Dinwiddie and LaVine showed a lack of confidence.

He has a strong desire to attack, especially Dinwiddie, who has repeatedly provided wonderful assists with the blessing of system buffs.

It can be said that the Pacers really resisted in the first five minutes of the first quarter. After that, the situation on the court was gradually controlled by the Timberwolves, and then the Timberwolves continued until the game entered the garbage time of the fourth quarter.

Neither Vogel nor the Pacers players were given any chance to win.

In the end, when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, the score between the two sides was fixed at 99-86. The Timberwolves defeated the Pacers by 13 points.

"Chen, I really want to punch you in the face. Yesterday Rick told me that you are so annoying. I didn't believe it, but now I believe it."

At the end of the game, Vogel came to Chen Dazhuang reluctantly.

"Hey, how could you believe what that guy said?" Seeing the guy's reluctant look, Da Zhuang gave him a strong hug.

"Let me go, Shet, let me go quickly, Chen, don't get carried away. As far as I know, your opponent in the next game is the Cavaliers. I'm waiting for a good show, and it seems that you are going to Golden State this month.

When you go to play a game, I don’t know how the people of Golden State will welcome you, but I hope you can still come back standing."

Vogel's words also made Dazhuang a little disgusted. I don't know which bastard arranged the schedule. It really fulfilled the old saying, it's not that enemies never get together.

Next, the Cavaliers and Nuggets will be played, followed by back-to-back away games against the Warriors.

Da Zhuang didn't even have to imagine, he could guess that when he arrived at the away game, there would probably be many fans greeting him in the entire stadium, whether it was the Cavaliers or the Warriors.

"Then you don't need to care. I think you should care about yourself. Don't forget the proposal I gave you before. Think about it carefully. This is the embodiment of friendship between friends. I leave it to you.

A way out, don't thank me, we are good friends."

After saying that, Da Zhuang turned around and left, not giving this guy a chance to get angry.
