Praise and Killing

"Mr. Popovich, we noticed that you communicated with Chen after the game. Chen seemed to be very excited. In addition, Chen took the initiative to find you before the game. Some people said that Chen is your fan. He

I'm looking for your autograph, what do you have to say to your opponent today?"

"Actually, I should apologize for my previous evaluation of him. Today's game allowed me to see the ability of the new generation of coaches in the league. He is a very interesting coach, and his on-the-spot command is also very good. You have all seen it.

, we lost today’s game, and I think the loss was due to his on-the-spot command ability. Although we lost the game, I am still very pleased to see such an outstanding young coach in the league.”

Chen Dazhuang, who was not far away, still felt a faint pain in his right hand. After hearing Popovich's answer to reporters' questions, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

No, the old man is flattering me. Damn it, my conscience is too bad.

"But did we notice that you had any conflicts after the game started?"

"No, no, no, I don't think it's a contradiction, it's just a reflection of different views on issues. In short, I am very optimistic about him and the current Timberwolves. You should pay attention to other teams in the league, especially those who want to win

Championship team, you have a strong team next to you that you are neglecting."

Okay, confirmed! This old gangster is causing trouble! MLGB, old man, you are too insidious. Didn’t I just call you an old gangster? Are you so vindictive? Why can’t you be generous?

What about a little?

"Chen, what do you think of Mr. Popovich's evaluation of the Timberwolves just now? The Timberwolves are currently ranked first in the Western Conference, and have defeated strong teams like the Heat, Spurs, Rockets, and Thunder. May I ask about the Timberwolves' performance this season?

What’s the goal?”

"Compared to the long regular season, this is just the beginning. I know my team very well. We are not like Mr. Popovich just said, both in terms of lineup configuration and combat effectiveness.

, we are both a very weak team. As for the goal, I think if we can reach the playoffs, I think it will be overachieved. After all, last season we were ranked 12th in the Western Conference."

The reporters in the audience complained in their hearts when they saw Chen Dazhuang answering seriously.

Your fucking 20-3 team says that it is very weak and that reaching the playoffs is overachieving. What do those QNM teams behind you mean?

"Chen, you have to know that you are currently ranked first in the Western Conference. You have won 20 games. Is this still considered weak? So what do the teams that lost to you count?" Even if the relationship has been good, the relationship has always been good.

Kate was quite speechless towards Chen Dazhuang at this moment.

"Hey, I can't even imagine that we can achieve such results. I think it's more about luck. Lady Luck has always been on our side, and the regular season has just begun, and many teams have not yet exerted their strength.

,Kate, just wait and see, those strong teams will soon stand up and tell you that the Timberwolves are really weak."

But no one believed what Chen Dazhuang said. The day after the game against the Spurs, the Timberwolves once again had a day off, but his modesty at the post-game press conference had no effect.

On the contrary, it was Popovich's praise that put the Timberwolves in the headlines of major media again.

"With a big away win over the Spurs, the Timberwolves are gradually showing their fangs!"

"Wolf is coming!"

"Popovich claims the Timberwolves are the favorites to win the championship this season!"

"Not even the Spurs can stop the crazy Timberwolves!"

"Popovich said Chen is the representative of the new generation of NBA head coaches!"

"Michael said that if Chen were in his era, he would definitely be willing to play for Chen!"

"Who can stop the mighty Timberwolves?"

"Chen is the wolf king of the forest wolves!"

The players had a rare day's rest, but Da Zhuang and Smith did not have time to rest. When they arrived at the team early in the morning, Da Zhuang saw Smith, Ogmon, and Beno holding a ball in their arms.

A large pile of newspapers came in.

"What are you doing? Why are you buying so many newspapers?"

"Congratulations, Chen, you are completely famous. Now all the media in the United States are discussing you. By the way, Greg is quite good. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be so famous."

"Smith, you must be mentally ill. You are still speaking for that old guy at this time. Can't you see that the old guy is flattering us?"

"I've seen it, we've all seen it, and you still have the nerve to accuse me. Why the hell are you trying to tease him when you have nothing to do?"

"I never knew that guy had such a big reaction. You don't know, that old guy is so insidious. At the end of the game, my hand was almost broken by him. I think I will have a psychological shadow from now on.

"

"What should we do now? We will be targeted a lot in the future, and the game will not be as easy to play as before." Ogmon asked.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Da Zhuang also scratched his head a little.

"Chen, can you tell us what our goal is for this season?" Bill Beno asked the question that made both Smith and Ogmon look up at Da Zhuang.

"Goal? Playoffs. As long as we can participate in the playoffs, our mission will be overfulfilled."

"Chen, we need to carefully consider our lineup configuration and the depth of our bench. In addition, the schedule will become intensive starting from January after this month, so how to rotate will also be an issue we need to consider."

"Lineup configuration? Do you have any ideas?"

"Just from yesterday's game against the Spurs, we can see that there is no problem with our previous assumptions. The connection between Yi and Anthony plus Greg's suppression in the paint is a big killer for us, but we must find a killer for Greg.

Dieng is not a suitable substitute, so a suitable substitute center is a problem that must be solved.

Question, we actually have enough personnel on the outside. In addition, the rotation of players at the fourth position is also a huge problem, so I suggest that if there are suitable ones, we can use some outside players to trade some inside players. In addition, we can see if there are any

There aren't any good options in free agency," Smith said.

"Do you have any good recommendations?"

Da Zhuang knows that what they said is indeed the truth. As far as the Timberwolves' current lineup is concerned, there are indeed big problems in the substitutes of centers and power forwards. Dieng's role in the center rotation is indeed not what everyone expected.

, In addition, Yi Jianlian's substitute is also a problem, but there are plenty of choices in other positions.
