In terms of personal feelings, Jimmy Butler also hopes to win against Zhang Xiaotian.

At the beginning, both of them were doing rough work in the team, and Jimmy Butler was trained by the team as the core and thought that he was a big step ahead of Zhang Xiaotian, but he didn't expect Zhang Xiaotian to win championships in a row and play an important role in each team.

Last season, Zhang Xiaotian returned to the Spurs to win the championship again, and his life was almost complete, but Jimmy Butler was swept away by the team, and all he has to do now is prove himself.

If Leonard is also there, he will really be a little entangled, now Zhang Xiaotian is alone, he doesn't think the Timberwolves will lose, he will win, he is so hard in the summer.

In fact, the Timberwolves got off to a good start, and Butler proved his ability.

It's just that he wanted to prove himself too much, and he was too entangled with Zhang Xiaotian, but he didn't integrate well with the team.

Jimmy Butler's singles are often bullying people with physical fitness, and he used to really bully Zhang Xiaotian, but now it's not so convenient.

Teague is not strong offensively, and the Timberwolves are Butler, Towns and Wiggins who take turns playing.

The play was decent, but it was still held down by the Spurs.

In fact, it is all about individual ability, but the team's offense and defense are not satisfactory.

Tom Hiberdu has a set of defensive adjustments, and apparently he hasn't brought the Timberwolves out yet, but he doesn't have many offensive routines.

It may also be that the Timberwolves lineup has changed a lot, and the run-in problem has yet to be solved.

Zhang Xiaotian didn't play like in the playoffs, but he scored and assisted with ease, and he felt like he was already a star of another level.

The season has just begun, the main team will not play for a long time, and the rotation period is particularly important.

Crawford is still playing well as the sixth man, but he is the same on the Timberwolves' bench.

On the Spurs' side, Evans and Ginobili are both good.

McGee and Gerald Green are also performing normally, this is still in the absence of Parker and Leonard, you must know that Murray and Danny Green, who are okay on the main lineup, may also be part of the rotation when the lineup is full.

In fact, the biggest surprise is Evans, who is still a little worried about this kind of player team with a history of injury, and now it seems that things are going in a good way.

This kind of player is afraid of a change in mentality after an injury, and then it will quickly disappear from everyone.

Evans is still determined to prove himself in his center of gravity, and his physical condition has been good in the summer, and the Spurs don't need him to push up the front line, and the customized plan for him is to lose weight a little and further improve his mid-range shooting ability.

And he doesn't need to play too long to play sixth man now, and he can slowly turn his body back to the top.

When the time comes, having gained the trust of the team, Vicky will need him to take on more responsibility.

In short, the Timberwolves suffered during the rotation.

And in the face of Spurs' incomplete main lineup, they did not take advantage of it at all.

Jimmy Butler feels a little awkward, he felt that the current team was still strong in the playoffs, but now he is suppressed by the Spurs with an uneven lineup.

In the second quarter, he played more actively, and he hoped that he could press the Spurs back with his strength, starting with him suppressing Zhang Xiaotian.

The idea is good, but he really chose the wrong person to take Zhang Xiaotian for surgery.

Like Towns and Wiggins, they are not strong points against the Spurs, and they are much more comfortable to play.

The Spurs led in the first half, not by much, but clearly played better than the Timberwolves.

Jimmy Butler feels the team can play harder,

Although he has been studying with the prince for several seasons in the Bulls, his fighting spirit is still good.

In the locker room, he wanted to say a few words, but when he first arrived, Jimmy Butler didn't have much to say.

He's not a natural leader, and he's definitely going to be at the core level when he comes to the Timberwolves, but it's hard to say about the status of the team.

On the Spurs' side, Vicky has not trained for a long time, and at halftime, he carefully pointed out the team's shortcomings and asked the team to do better in the second half.

The team that won the championship is not the same as the team that is used to making fish belly, and the Spurs players are full of confidence.

In order to be strong, Jimmy Butler came up in the second half and said viciously: "Zhang, I'm going to beat you." ”

Zhang Xiaotian smiled slightly, "Jimmy, I'll give you a chance, but I want to win this game." ”

Butler was really no match for trash talk, and soon began to speak with a straight face and actions.

It's just that at this time, only Teague is still honestly connecting on the Timberwolves' side, and Butler, Towns and Wiggins are all going their separate ways.

On the Spurs' side, Zhang Xiaotian easily connected the team.

While Murray, who is nominally the No. 1 spot, is now a mere pitcher, the team is not bad at efficiency.

Parker and Leonard are not there, and only Zhang Xiaotian can organize the main lineup.

On the bench side, Ginobili and Evans both have playmaking skills.

The Timberwolves fell behind in the score and began to play one big and four small.

Their small lineup is also interesting, and they directly ditch Teague, who has the most organizational skills, to Crawford.

As a result, the Timberwolves have become the one who throws the ball in their hands on the offensive end.

Hiberdu doesn't know what to think, the Spurs are afraid of being unreasonable, but the Timberwolves are not enough at these All-Star levels, only the top All-Stars can tear apart a strong team defense.

In Leonard's absence, the Spurs' defense may have been affected a little, but it is still much better than most teams in the league.

The Timberwolves' offensive lineup did not catch up with the score, but in the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian took a few shooters and expanded the team's lead in a few minutes.

The Timberwolves didn't play a role in chasing the lineup, so they could only surrender obediently.

After the game, the Timberwolves players lamented that they had been fooled by the outside world, that they were not as strong as others said they were, and that the defending champion Spurs were truly strong.

The performance of the Spurs made other teams more vigilant, as the defending champions, they were originally a thorn in the side of the teams, and as a result, the lineup was not evenly matched, and the title of public enemy of the whole people would definitely not run.

Zhang Xiaotian also joked with Leonard after the game, saying that the old man decided to let him take a long vacation.

It's a good start, but it doesn't tell the whole story, and there were a lot of surprises at the beginning of the season.

The Spurs' second game was also a team with a big change in lineup, which happened to be the Bulls.

Playing away from home at the beginning of the season is not so tiring, and as the defending champions, Spurs are still in the spotlight.

Zhang Xiaotian, as the focus of attention, has been very accustomed to this kind of treatment, and he has made no secret of it in the face of reporters, and the goal of the Spurs is to defend the title.
