Chapter 303 Battle of Revenge

Beep! Beep! As the referee blows his whistle.

The game between the Timberwolves and the Spurs ended after four quarters of confrontation.

119 to 101, the Timberwolves easily defeated the Spurs with an 18-point difference, thus achieving a solid record of 29 consecutive victories. After the game, Da Zhuang also walked towards Popovich with a smile and stretched out his hand.

's right hand.

"Chen, has anyone ever said that your smile is too fake?"

Popovich's words made Da Zhuang feel a little embarrassed all of a sudden.

Come on, damn it, labor and management don’t care about you, and I don’t care about the loser.

"Mr. Popovich, it's just a regular season game, there's no need to be so serious."

"Trade Nikolai to me. I know how to use him better than you. He is wasting his talent on you."

Mala next door, you are the only one who understands. There are blind people in the whole world and you are the only one who understands. The labor force has never wanted to talk to you. This saves others from saying that I bully the elderly and you have to point the gun at me.

"Really? Then why didn't you choose him at that time? Mr. Popovich, you should go back and sort out your uniform team first. I think these people should be fired directly."

As soon as he spoke, he took out his hand, turned around and left without giving the old guy a chance to speak.

Da Zhuang's words also choked Popovich. The meaning behind his words was very clear. If you understand so well, why didn't you discover his talent at first? Oh, now that he has become famous, you will understand.

Watching Da Zhuang leave, Popovich could only shake his head.

The post-game press conference was completely dedicated to Dazhuang and Popovich praising each other. Both of them tried their best to praise each other's strength, but to be honest, Popovich's praise was justified, while Chen Dazhuang's

The praise sounded awkward to Popovich's ears.

You just beat me by 18 points, and now you praise me for being the best in the league. What do you mean?

After winning the game against the Spurs, the Timberwolves also had two days of rest.

However, the next game of the Timberwolves still became the focus of everyone's attention.

On December 26, the Timberwolves will visit Bankers Life Arena to face the Indiana Pacers.

In addition to the personal relationship between Dazhuang and Vogel, there are many reasons why this game has become the focus of the game. The first one is Howard, who was traded from the Rockets to the Pacers in the summer.

When it comes to resentment towards the Timberwolves, Howard's resentment is not much worse than others.

Last season's playoffs with the Timberwolves also made the conflict between Howard and Harden directly clear. When he was traded to the Pacers, Howard was honestly still full of hope for the future.

Moreover, the Pacers' actions in the summer fully illustrate their ambitions for this season.

The Pacers are one of the few teams among the thirty teams to make big moves this summer.

In order to make up for George Hill's position, they brought in Monta Ellis, who played for the Mavericks last season, Jordan Hill, who played for the Lakers last season, Tony, who played for the Pelicans, and Robinson of the 76ers. These three people

He also signed contracts with the Pacers one after another. It is also worth mentioning that Budinger, who previously played for the Timberwolves, also joined the Pacers this season after becoming a free agent.

The Pacers' frequent actions in the summer also attracted a lot of attention, so this game has also become the focus of everyone's attention.

But one thing is that although the Pacers have made frequent moves in the summer, after the start of this season, their overall record is somewhat far from everyone's expectations.

Currently, after completing 28 games in the regular season, they only have a record of 16 wins and 12 losses.

The most disappointing thing is Howard's performance.

Warcraft, which once dominated the league, has seen a decline in its competitive ability that can be seen with the naked eye.

Last season, even though there were some conflicts between the Rockets and Harden, Howard still averaged 15.8 points and 10.8 rebounds per game. In the first 28 games of the Pacers this season, he averaged 37 minutes per game, but only

Got a data of 12.7 points and 8.9 rebounds.

On the contrary, the Rockets, who traded with the Pacers, have tasted the sweetness of this transaction.

After George Hill joined the Rockets, he integrated into the team very quickly. In addition, David West, who was traded in the past, is also a good reinforcement for the Rockets. From the beginning of this season to now, the Rockets have won 29 points in 29 games.

The most important thing about the 24-5 record is the friction between George Hill and Harden.

The backcourt duo formed by these two men suddenly made Carlisle's life much easier.

Especially in the Rockets' away game against the Pacers in December, Harden and Hill scored 57 points together to help the Rockets defeat the Pacers.

So Vogel also received a lot of doubts after that.

Vogel's life has been a bit difficult during this period, so the outside world also believes that this game is a good opportunity for Vogel. If the Pacers can defeat the Timberwolves at home, then the position under Vogel's butt will also be

become stable.

Also for Howard, this game is also an opportunity for him to prove himself.

"I don't think the Timberwolves are invincible. I have played against them and I know them very well. We will definitely end their winning streak in this game. There is no doubt about it." The day before the game, Howard accepted reporters.

When asked during the interview about the upcoming game against the Timberwolves, he was very confident and claimed that he would definitely win the game.

Time soon came to December 26, and in the afternoon the Timberwolves team arrived at Bankers Life Arena.

Seeing Chen Dazhuang's figure, the reporters at the scene immediately gathered around him.

However, for these enthusiastic reporters, Da Zhuang still kept a low profile. After dealing with the reporters a little perfunctorily, he led the team into the arena.

He knows very well that Vogel has been having a hard time recently, so in the face of these reporters who are afraid of chaos in the world, Da Zhuang still doesn't want these guys to succeed in provoking trouble. As for the unpleasant things Howard said, it is not within the scope of Da Zhuang's consideration at all.

Inside, he has paid attention to the Pacers' games this season, and Howard's competitiveness in the interior has declined too quickly.

To put it harshly, last season he and Oden could barely manage a 4-6 draw, but this season Da Zhuang feels that even 8-2 is very easy.

Not to mention that this season the Timberwolves have another Jokic inside.

Even within the Timberwolves, Howard has directly become a negative teaching material, and the big man often uses it to educate young players such as LaVine.
