Chapter 297 The new season begins

"Chen, the Timberwolves have the fewest personnel changes among the thirty teams in the league this summer. Is this the team's plan?"

"Yes, we had already determined the corresponding plan at the end of last season, and our actions this summer are all centered around this plan."

"What are the Timberwolves' goals for this season?"

"The season has just begun. It's too early to talk about goals now. I think the goal at the beginning of the season is to try my best to play every game well."

Before entering the arena, Da Zhuang briefly dealt with the reporters outside, and then led everyone on the team into the Staples Arena.

Indeed, as the reporter said, whether it was the trade market or the free market this summer, the Timberwolves made the smallest moves in the league. The most they accomplished throughout the summer was contract extensions, and the only real signings were those selected from the draft.

Wright alone.

Just like today's opponent, the Lakers, they completed a deal with the Pacers in the trade market this summer. Due to the impact of Howard joining, Pacers center Hibbert had some troubles with the team, and then Hibbert left in order to be able to

The Pacers joined the Lakers and even gave up some guaranteed money.

In addition, the Lakers also signed Buss and Lou Williams in the free market.

Soon after the warm-up of both sides ended, they returned to the locker room. There was still half an hour before the start of the new season.

The two red buffs obtained by spending all the points were also used by Da Zhuang on Middleton and Bennett.

It is worth mentioning that after exploring the system, to be honest, if it were not for the waste of these 300 points, Da Zhuang would really have to give this update a favorable review. Like the previous buff, it would only appear half an hour before each game.

Refresh, and if it is not used for more than three times, it will never be refreshed again next time.

But now it's different. You can brush out the buff in advance and then make some tactical adjustments based on this. This is very easy for Chen Dazhuang to operate.

Soon the game started at the referee's whistle.

The game progressed very easily for the Timberwolves. Almost from the beginning of the game, the Timberwolves basically controlled the situation on the court.

Oden faced Hibbert in the paint with complete suppression.

To be honest, Kobe's scoring efficiency on the outside is about his age. Mamba is old, and his shooting percentage in the entire first quarter was less than 40%. And from some breakthroughs, it can be seen that the impact of age is eroding this player.

Stubborn No. 24.

Although his eyes are still as sharp and stubborn as ever, this is competitive sports.

No matter how unwilling you are, the reality is this.

On the contrary, the performance of Joe Harris, who was previously traded to the Lakers, made Lakers fans seem to see some future, but there was no change in the game.

In the end, in the new season opener at Staples, the Timberwolves' main players only played three quarters before successfully clocking out.

But what makes many NBA fans incredible is not that the Timberwolves won, but that Jokic came off the bench.

This guy's performance can be described as amazing.

The most important thing is that we have never encountered such a center. We have never seen a center running in front during a counterattack. We have never seen a center that can break through Randall head-on with the ball. We have never seen a center from the three-second zone.

A center who can score from beyond the three-point line.

In the last round, he was facing Hibbert in the penalty area. In the next round, he reached the high post and hit a three-pointer. If Oden's suppression made Hibbert miserable, then Jokic's performance

It just made Hibbert completely unable to find his way. The other most classic thing is that in the last few minutes of the third quarter, Dazhuang replaced Yi Jianlian with Jokic.

Standing next to Oden on the court is a very classic comparison.

Many Chinese fans saw this picture and gave a classic name to the group - Black and White Wuchang.

115 to 93, the Timberwolves easily won the opening game of the new season.

It can be considered a good start for the new season.

As this game ended, the results of the other three opening games were also decided one after another.

The Warriors easily defeated the visiting Pelicans 111-95 at home, and the Bulls narrowly defeated the Cavaliers 97-95 at home. It is worth mentioning that the biggest credit for the Bulls' victory in this game should be given to Da Zhuang.

Because facing the Cavaliers, the Bulls adopted the same defensive tactics as the Timberwolves used against the Cavaliers in last season's finals.

Moreover, Bulls head coach Hoiberg told the reporters at the post-game press conference that he was inspired by the Timberwolves to choose this defensive tactic.

After the game, some media also predicted that the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference might not have an easy time this season. In addition to the various teams in the Eastern Conference that have strengthened to a certain extent during the summer, the Cavaliers have problems that have not been solved well.

It will become the focus of every team in the Eastern Conference.

The final opening match was a surprise.

The Atlanta Hawks, who finished first in the Eastern Conference last season and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals, faced the Detroit Pistons at home, but ultimately lost to the Pistons 94-106.

This result was something no one expected, and it was also a fact that the tens of thousands of Eagles fans at the scene could not accept.

After the game against the Lakers, the Timberwolves also returned to Apolis.

The starting schedule is quite friendly for the Timberwolves.

On October 28, 2015, just as the new regular season was kicking off, a local newspaper in Minnesota broke the news that former Timberwolves superstar Kevin Garnett had completed his signing with the Timberwolves.

Garnett's contract expires this summer, but there have been rumors that Garnett will retire directly. After that, the trade rumors between the Nets and the Timberwolves also circulated for a long time, but in the end they were just rumors.

This summer, rumors about whether Garnett will retire or continue playing have been the focus of media reporters.

Now this report seems to be bringing an end to this matter.

On October 29, the Timberwolves held a press conference at the Target Center. Chen Dazhuang, the team's head coach, was also present in person. In addition, Garnett also took over the Timberwolves' No. 21 jersey from Milt.

However, there have been many media predictions since then. For the talented insiders in the Timberwolves, Garnett's return is more of a sentiment for the Timberwolves, a symbolic sentiment. According to the real strength comparison

Generally speaking, Garnett will basically not have much playing time in today's Timberwolves.
