Soon the chapter of 2011 was lost to history with the ringing of the New Year's bell, and after a day of rest, the Minnesota Timberwolves continued to sit at home to face the challenge of the defending champion Dallas Mavericks!

Speaking of which, we have to talk about the league-wide focus battle that has just begun in the new season, the Dallas Mavericks, who have just won the championship, face the Miami Heat, who have fallen short in the Finals.

However, the outcome of this game that should have been close surprised everyone, and all the members of the Mavericks seemed to be sleepwalking in the whole game, and they were beaten to the ground under the repeated impact of the Heat Big Three, and there was no trace of the summer in the Finals.

In the end, the Mavericks lost their first game of the new season without any suspense.

This season, the Dallas Mavericks had to let go of Chandler, Butler, Stevenson, and Barria in order to remain competitive in the summer chasing the big fish in the free market, and their overall strength has dropped significantly from the previous season.

Add to that the fact that German tanker Dirk Nowitzki is 33 years old, Jason Kidd is 38 years old, and Vince Carter is 34 years old this year, and the Dallas Mavericks have become a veritable senior team this season.

This duel between the old driver and the elf is also a highlight of this round of the game, on the one hand, the battle-hardened old men, on the other hand, the talented young people, who can laugh to the end only by really competing.

In a routine pre-race interview, veteran driver Nowitzki expressed high praise for Bai Xiaonian, a rookie.

"I've always been watching the rookies this year, and Wood impressed me the most out of all the rookies. It's hard to see him as a simple rookie when you watch him play..."

"You'll see him fight the league's absolute superstars for 300 rounds without falling behind..."

Maybe this is the replacement of the old and the new in the alliance, passing on the torch! This is also the fundamental reason why the NBA business league has been able to maintain its vigorous vitality.

In the home team's locker room at the Target Center, Ricky Rubio is vividly describing to his teammates the story of yesterday's battle against the bikers with Bai Xiaonian.

"Wood! It's so uninteresting, this kind of thing doesn't even greet me! ”

Michael Beasley shouted loudly that although he was still not very uncomfortable with the decline of his tactical position, he slowly accepted this fact as time went on, and it was a big deal to jump out of his contract and test the free market in the summer.

Beasley, who is also a car lover with Bai Xiaonian, is a coquettish blue Porsche Carrera S, but unfortunately his baby has been useless under his careful care, so after hearing Bai Xiaonian's drag racing story, this guy also became enthusiastic.

Looking at the rowdy lads in the locker room, Rick Adelman smiled slightly, this group of energetic and hopeful guys is the future of the league, and he is very lucky to be a witness to this process.

As the time to start the game got closer and closer, players from both sides began to play in turn.

When our little white children's shoes finally walked out of the players' tunnel, the commotion in the entire target center arena suddenly reached its peak, and countless Timberwolves white No. 11 jerseys flew and jumped in the stands, and in just a few days, Bai Xiaonian has become the most popular guy here.

"Hi everyone, I'm Hillman Keton, and I'm here at the Target Center arena to bring you the live commentary of the Minnesota Timberwolves' home game against the Dallas Mavericks."

After a few days, Mr. Hillman appeared again on the commentary stand in the Target Center Arena, and it seems that this job was specially applied for by him as an avid fan of Bai Xiaonian.

"Hi everyone, I, Kenny Smith, are here to say hello..."

It seems that TNT is still not bold enough to let the rookie Hillman take on the commentary task of this game alone, and the figure of veteran commentator Kenny Smith also appeared on the scene.

There was also a dramatic scene on the court before the game began, and our little white children's shoes quietly touched the Mavericks' bench.

"Hey! Uncle Jason, can you sign me? ”

As a guy who grew up watching Kidd play, Bai Xiaonian was naturally excited to see his childhood idol, and hurriedly found Kidd and said.

And the latter was also confused by Bai Xiaonian, it was the first time he had met this kind of player from the other side before the start of the game between the two teams for the first time in so many years, and he was also a popular rookie in the league now.

"Hahahahaha! Jason, now the little ones are calling you uncle! ”

Dirk Nowitzki, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile that several of the old guns in their alliance now have a sense of sympathy for each other, so they have a very good relationship with each other.

Looking at Bai Xiaonian, who was happily walking back with his autograph, Kidd touched his bare head, this stupid boy is quite likable.

"Well, let's take a look at the starting lists for both sides!"

Dallas Mavericks, PG: Jason Kidd, SG: Delonte West, SF: Sean Marion, PF: Dirk Nowitzki, C: Brandon Haywood.

Minnesota Timberwolves, PG: Ricky Rubio, SG: Wood White, SF: Michael Beasley, PF: Kevin Love, C: Darko Milicic.

This season's Mavericks' lineup is really full of big names, and if this lineup is put back five years ago, then the ownership of this year's O'Brien Cup will be out of suspense again.

The Minnesota Timberwolves have had a truly ill-fated start to the season, first against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1, then to the Miami Heat with their Big Three, and now the Dallas Mavericks who are about to start the game.

"Smack!"

Kevin Love rarely got the ball first in the jump ball, which made Bai Xiaonian, who was standing on the sidelines, express huge doubts about Brandon Haywood's jumping ability.

The moment the basketball reached Bai Xiaonian's hand, the Timberwolves fans in the target center broke out into huge cheers, and the huge sound spread to the court, making Bai Xiaonian, who was slowly advancing to the front court with the ball, have a smug smile on his face.

"Haha, it looks like our elves are very popular here!

Hillman Cottonon shouted a few times with the fans in the stadium and said with a smile, now Bai Xiaonian's huge influence has shocked the entire league.

And Kenny Smith, who was sitting next to him, shook his head a little speechlessly, this guy is a fanatical fan of Bai Xiaonian at all, and the commentary has no objectivity at all.

"Okay, let's take a look at this offense of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Bai Xiaonian directly faced Jason Kidd's defense, this is a direct confrontation between the new and old generations of players in the NBA!"
