Chapter 384: Be prepared

"Is this the team that sets the longest winning streak of the season?"

"This is what we want to lead the team to compete for the championship and win the MVP team leader's performance?"

"Come on, Hua Guo, I left the Lakers, without Shaq and Kobe, you are nothing!"

The home team led the way to the end of the first quarter, which made the fans around them proud.

Last year's playoffs made them feel like they were stuck in their throats. Now, seeing that the "enemy" of the past was not good at the beginning, they were all excited and shouted and jumped.

Chen Cheng's touch was indeed not good in the first quarter, with 1 of 3 shots from 3 and 2 of 6 shots from 2.

The most important thing is that even if he breaks into the inside, he cannot cause too much damage.

Although he scored all four free throw lines, the fouls were divided into Madson and Suzebiak. Garnett, who guarded the inside, failed to get a foul, which made Chen Cheng's strong breakthrough meaningless.

Allen and Wallace were completely confused when they met Garnett's three-second zone.

They have never seen anyone who can make big delays from outside the three-point line and can immediately return to the No. 5 position where they can make up for defense.

A pair of long arms are covered by the head, and both shooting and layups are greatly affected.

Chen Cheng's several passes failed to convert the assists.

"Chen should miss the days when he played around 'ok' now. Someone shared the pressure of offense and defense for him. When he encountered double-teams, he could use the pass to convert assists as soon as possible."

"To be honest, he did cause us a lot of trouble in the playoffs last season. He did burst out with amazing combat power at the beginning of the season, scoring 40 or even 50 in succession, but now it seems that it is just a matter of using data on some teams with limited strength."

Two home commentators of the Timberwolves analyzed with great interest.

The worst thing is that Howard, the Bobcats' inside pillar, was in a daze expressionlessly at this moment.

He has not yet emerged from the disillusioned reality.

On the court just now, kg squirted his trash words, which was much worse than the few words Chen Cheng had learned in the locker room before.

Seeing the idol image in front of me collapse instantly, its lethality is no less than giving a teenager a big pussy that shocks the depths of his soul.

It caused irreparable trauma to Howard's young mind for a while.

In the first quarter, he was like losing his soul on the court, unable to grab the rebound, unable to attack, and was run by Garnett to the point of being autistic, and even began to doubt that there was something wrong with his ability.

To be honest, Old Nelson has been in the West for so long and led the Mavericks to fight against the Timberwolves for dozens of games, but has never found a good solution to Garnett.

Because I really can't find a suitable candidate for his status.

"Big Bamboo Pole" Bradley is not as tall as him; Nahura is not as strong as him; Nowitzki is not as tall as he is, but he is not as strong as he is, but who will take the burden of attack?

Before Kassel and the "Madman" joined, the two teams could still play back and forth.

Since the establishment of the "Three-Headed Wolf" combination, the Mavericks have lost more than they win.

It can be said that Garnett has always been the victim of Old Nelson.

Originally, Howard was a very suitable defensive candidate, but who would have thought that after one quarter of the game, the child's mentality would be broken.

All the tactics that Old Nelson had set before the game were ruined.

"Let him take a break, coach, we might be able to try that tactic."

Just when the entire uniform team was at a loss, Chen Cheng took the tactical board and began to draw it on it.

He still has some experience in playing teams like the Timberwolves.

In his tactics, Brezek replaced Howard and used his mid- and long-distance shot to attract Garnett from the inside.

As long as Garnett guards the inside, the Bobcats' forward line will be revived.

This was a tactic that he personally verified before and was proven.

In the second quarter, the Bobcats changed the inside and Brezek replaced Howard to debut.

The Timberwolves maintained the regular lineup for the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Chen Cheng used the pick-and-roll between himself and Brezek to break into the inside to attract defense, and then passed the ball behind his head to Brezek.

"Dabai" did not disappoint the coach's expectations, nor did he waste Chen Cheng's pass, making a two-point shot.

This is the only goal of the Bobcats from the last three minutes of the first quarter to the current sports game.

Old Nelson finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the ball was scored, coach Philip Sanders called out a timeout.

The players on both sides were very confused, and even the home commentator couldn't understand his intentions.

It is said that there was no big problem with the defense of the Timberwolves at the beginning of the attack.

Chen Cheng held the ball from the outside, Brezek picked and rolled the ball, and after attracting Garnett, Chen Cheng rushed into the inside, Garnett followed him to defend, and then Chen Cheng suddenly made a no look                                                                                                    �

Suzebiak also made up for defense at the first time, but Brezek still made it in. This is not a mistake.

After the suspension was over, I saw the personnel adjustments made by the Timberwolves, and the commentator on the sidelines suddenly realized.

Sanders replaced Madson with 208cm tall Eddie Griffin.

Rockets fans must be familiar with him. He entered the league with the seventh pick in the first round in 2001. He spent the first two seasons of his career with the Rockets, and also worked as teammates with Yao Yao in the 2002-03 season.

When he was in college, he was also a very comprehensive inside player and was also a popular candidate for the No. 1 pick.

However, due to the fight in school, his draft pick was affected.

You should know that in his first season in the NBA, he scored 100 three-pointers and 100 blocks.

Moreover, in Shuai Tang's system, Griffin, who can be both inside and outside, is regarded as Robert Horry next to Olajuwon, and is partnered with Yao Yao in the inside.

Unfortunately, such a talented player with a slowly talented talent failed to make a name for the Rockets due to some off-court factors and personal personality.

After abandoning all seasons, in the new season, the Timberwolves gave him the opportunity to continue to display his talents.

Griffin did not disappoint the Timberwolves' trust and once again played excellent data comparable to the rookie season.

His inside line, which is both inside and outside, and both offense and defense, is prepared for big men like Brezek who have projection ability.

People cannot step into the same river twice.

Coach Sanders is obviously well aware of this philosophy of life.

Therefore, after losing the playoffs last season, I found such a player specifically. When the opponent has the shooting ability to make a comeback, it is time for Griffin to make a comeback.

This sudden substitution was immediately effective. Garnett and Griffin could be switched at any time. On the offensive end, Garnett played 5 and sucked Brezek with the ball was like taking a pill.

When it came to the defensive end, Garnett continued to guard the basket and didn't go out at all.

No matter who Brezek picks or covers, he will be Griffin to defend.

His keen scent and rapid movement, as well as his height and wingspan, gave him the upper hand in defense of Brezek.

Once Brezek is under close defense and intense physical contact, his shot begins to deform and his shooting rate drops sharply.

Facing Griffin's defense, Brezek shook a few times but couldn't get the shot space. Seeing that time was about to come, he had to force his attack, but was slapped out of the sideline by Griffin's big hat.

Garnett rushed out of the inside, celebrating with Griffin's passionate chest, stretched out his finger, pointed at himself and Chen Cheng.

The meaning seems to be saying: Don’t think that we are the only ones who keep improving and becoming stronger, and we are not idle.
