Chapter 157: Coach Zhang: I'm optimistic about supersonic speed (ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass)

November 11th, this day is still only Singles' Day, and the cat in the sky has not been involved, and there will be no countless people on this day to chop their hands such a tragic event.

So, when there is a broadcast of the game on this day, everyone will still stay in front of the TV on time and wait for the game to start.

What's more, it was the Seattle SuperSonics that was broadcast on the air.

In the away locker room of the Key Arena, Wolf King Garnett tightened the laces of his basketball shoes, and Carl Russell next to him showed a mouthful of buckteeth and said: "This year's supersonic speed is not easy to deal with!" ”

"Hmm." Ganeji nodded and said: "I watched the video of yesterday's game, although they lost their games with the Lakers and Spurs, and the weak teams they encountered all won by a large score, which made them now a 'bully and afraid of the hard' team in the mouth of the media, but everyone knows that this is a joke, and the difference between them and the Spurs and the Lakers is not much." ”

Sprewell also came over, the three of them are the three people with the best relationship in the team, Sprewell said indifferently: "What's the big deal, they can lose to the Spurs and Lakers, and they will also lose to us, you know, our strength is not worse than those two teams." ”

He is right, the Timberwolves' "three-headed monster" lineup has been praised by the media as the most balanced offensive and defensive team this year, and has won all four games so far, and the Los Angeles Lakers are tied for first place in the West and the league's first record.

Garnett, Cassel, Sprewell, or even Szebiak aren't explosive scorers, but it's disgusting to have four players on a team who are averaging close to 20 points per game.

The most crucial thing is that their defense is all on the line, so that other teams can't find a point of attack.

And their center Michael Olowocandi's role is to take rebounds and defend, plus Garnett's excellent defensive ability to protect the sky above the box.

The team's coach, Philip Saunders, is not unknown either.

So there's a reason for Sprewell's self-confidence.

Cassel smiled, knowing Sprewell's character, the nickname "Mad Man" is not a casual one, but he cautioned: "The SuperSonics have played a very different style this year than they have in the past, and they have developed strong chemistry with the addition of several great role players, who rank fourth in the league in defensive efficiency, behind the Pistons, Spurs and us, and they rank seventh in the league in offensive efficiency, and the reason is because they have a great commander." ”

"Yes, their No. 2 rookie this year, Lu Fei, played great, and I watched him and the Lakers perform in the last few minutes, and it was really crazy." Garnett said.

Rookie?

Sprewell snorted, he really didn't have the rookie in his eyes.

"Kassel, you can't stop a rookie?" He said: "As long as I guard against Ray Allen again, their forward line and interior line are not to worry about, the victory in this game will definitely be ours. ”

Ganeji nodded, agreeing with Sprewell: "Yes, as long as we guard their perimeter, we'll win this game." ”

At this time, the staff came in to remind the players of both sides to get ready to enter, and the game began immediately.

Dozens of cameras were in the middle of intense debugging in the arena, and media reporters from all over Washington state poured into Key Arena for the Seattle SuperSonics in their first home game of the season's regular season.

Seattle fans uniformly wore the white uniforms of the SuperSonics home stadium, and the entire key arena appeared in a sea of white.

Chinese fans are distressed, today is Tuesday, following the last truancy and skipping classes, there was another wave of work leave, class skipping, this day the number of fans across the country with stomach aches and diarrhea showed a straight upward trend.

The fans waiting in front of the TV finally heard the familiar voice of Sun Yiping: "Welcome to today's game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Minnesota Timberwolves, we invited Director Zhang Weiping and me to explain this game to you today, Director Zhang, hello." ”

"Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Weiping." Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

"Which of these two teams does Director Zhang think is more likely to win this game?" Sun Yiping asked.

Zhang Weiping smiled: "To be honest, this time I am more optimistic about the supersonic team, although the American counterparts agree that the strength of the Timberwolves is stronger, and the offense and defense are more balanced, but the balance means that although their offensive and defensive levels are very strong, they are not particularly strong, you look at the Lakers, it is the defensive line, but the offensive ability is the only existence in the league, but the Timberwolves are not good, their offensive level is slightly lacking, especially their interior line, which looks very strong, but you know, jump shots do not die...... On the other hand, supersonic is different, supersonic has Lu Fei's backcourt engine, and their offense is smooth, as long as supersonic is thrown, I think supersonic is not without a chance to win the game. ”

If Lu Fei heard his words, he would only say: Please don't milk it, okay?

"It seems that Director Zhang is very optimistic about the current strength of the SuperSonics after the last game between the SuperSonics and the Lakers, and now that the players from both sides are on the court, let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."

The TV screen showed the starting lists for both sides.

Timberwolves starters:

Centre-forward: Michael Olovokandi

Power forward: Kevin Garnett

Small forward: Trenton Hassel

Shooting guard: Ratriel Sprewell

Defender: Sam Kassel

Sun Yiping sighed: "The Timberwolves are really rich and capricious, and even players like Wally Szczebiak, who averaged 15 points per game, were placed on the bench list." ”

This ensures that when the substitute lineup is on the field, it can still ensure the team's stable output.

The SuperSonics starters took the stage, and the cheers from the scene directly overturned the top of the Key Arena, and all the SuperSonics players felt the enthusiasm of the Seattle fans.

SuperSonics starters:

Center: Memet Oku

Power forward: Nick Collisson

Small forward: Sean Battier

Shooting guard: Ray Allen

Organizational defender: Lu Fei

Players from both sides took to the court, and the game started quickly, with the referee throwing the basketball into the air and the unmistakable basketball was flipped over by Garnett.

Cassel controlled the basketball steadily, signaling his teammates to run, and then the center Olowokandi raised the high post to cover him, directly blocking Lu Fei behind him, Lu Fei hurriedly bypassed the defense, but found that Cassel did not accelerate the breakthrough at all.

After Olowokandi made a block, he walked straight to the 45-degree angle and helped Sprewell make an off-ball screen.

Sprewell cut off the ball and Kassel slipped the basketball straight in.

Oku was directly left behind by Sprewell, and the supersonic penalty area at this time was a flat river.

Collison hurriedly made up for it.

Lu Fei sighed, he knew that the ball had not been made up, and sure enough, Sprewell threw the ball directly into the air, and a black figure appeared in the air.

It's Garnett.
