Chapter 345: If you don't make a sound, it's a blockbuster

Regional discrimination exists in all countries around the world, as far as North America is concerned, in general, the coastal areas do not look down on the inland areas, after all, the coastal areas are more developed in economic development, and most of the inland areas are almost all farms, so North America is often called large farms.

Minnesota, the innermost part of the North American continent, is more or less what many North Americans consider to be a wild place, where there seems to be nothing but snow-covered coniferous forests and nothing else worth saying.

So the Timberwolves, Minnesota's signature team, are also in a very difficult situation after gaining 100% support from the local population, they can hardly keep any ambitious stars, although the Timberwolves can get draft lottery picks almost every year, but the team's results will not improve, and they are one of the few teams in the league like the Kings.

And similarly to the Kings, the Timberwolves also had a period of glory, although they still failed to win a championship during that period, not even the Western Conference championship, but it was really the peak of the team.

However, compared to a team like the Kings, which was almost built with the league, the Timberwolves were only formed in the late 80s of the last century, so their results are not to blame, although they are poor.

The first game of the preseason against the Timberwolves is actually good news for the Kings, after all, the Kings have just undergone a rebuild, their players are still running in, and more importantly, the team has not yet established initial confidence, and it is a good opportunity to find a feeling on a weak team.

The Timberwolves are much better than the rebuilt Kings, although they were still the bottom team in the West last season, but the team's roster has not changed much. Basel also signed a six-year contract extension with the team, which indicates that the Timberwolves will not be rebuilding year after year, and they are starting to prepare to really revolve around Carter? Basel has established a new system for the team.

As an almost brand-new team, the Kings did not arrange any enthusiastic appearance ceremony in the first game of the new season's home court, and they also knew that the team's fan base was still on the sidelines, even if they were prepared, they would not be applauded by the fans, so they simply clicked directly, and the players simply showed their portraits through the commentary of the live DJ, and then directly proved to the fans with actions.

The only Kings player on the court was Blair? Bowman was cheered on by all the fans, but the others were almost silent, and there were even a lot of boos when Turgun and Erwin played, which shows how much the home fans have to say about the Kings.

In the first game, Wang Lei arranged a new lineup.

The starting center is the little-known but controversial Erwin? Butler, the power forward is Toby, who has good defense and rebounding? Savig, the small forward is the handsome European man Salich, and the scoring guard position is naturally the team's top Blair and point guard Turgon.

Jump ball in the middle circle, Erwin? Butler was his first time on the NBA stage, and although it was a warm-up preseason, he still looked a little nervous, so he jumped a little earlier when he jumped the ball, and was beaten by the Timberwolves' Eastern European player Vigo? Bertalov turned the ball towards his side.

Timberwolves point guard Wickcel used his body to resist Turgun and take the ball, he felt a little happy at this time, the little white-faced point guard of the Kings team obviously had a very poor confrontation, and he had to play well when he had the opportunity, so that the little white-faced face could see how powerful he was.

It has to be said that Turgon's face, like Salish, is a magnet for both men and women, but it attracts different people, they attract the eyes of women and the hatred of men.

The Timberwolves slowly pushed into the frontcourt, and Vigo? Bertalov had to do it inside, and suddenly squeezed Erwin, who was weaker than him in height and weight, behind him.

Point guard Wickcel is also happy to see his teammates give the Kings' little rookie a little color, so he hoists the ball into the interior, the core of the Timberwolves, Carter at the small forward position? Basel jogged to the weak side, and with a big contract, he didn't have much desire to attack in this kind of warm-up preseason.

But Vigo? As soon as Bertalov received the ball, Turgon, who was originally marking the opponent's point guard, immediately contracted the bag, ignoring Viccel on the outside, and Vigo? Bertalov didn't care about the Kings' bag at all, and he didn't think the two rookie bags were threatening at all.

But just be Vigo? When Bertalov was about to make a move, he dribbled and turned and dunked, but he just slapped the ball to the ground and was snatched away by Turgon.

After a year in the NBA, Turgun didn't get many opportunities to play, but he knew how to play to his best strengths, relying on his keen judgment and fine control of his body, and his slicing was extremely accurate, without touching the hands or body of the opposing center.

As soon as Turgun broke the ball, Vicel behind him forced over and tried to fight Vigo? Together, Bertalov cut off all of Turgon's paths, but at this moment, Turgun did not turn around and dribble the ball at all, but threw the ball directly with his back to the frontcourt. Bowman was already on the move, and the Kings were so quick on the counter-attack.

When Turgun broke the ball, Blair? Bowman has already started to run to the opponent's half, Blair has a lot of trust in Turgon's strength, he knows that the head coach's fellow will definitely pass the ball as soon as possible, his trust is not in vain, and the Timberwolves have almost no one to defend.

Blair dribbled to the three-point line after receiving a pass from Turgun across the halfway line, and then stepped into the three-second zone and rose to the ground, stretching his body into a bow in the air, showing violence and human beauty at the same time.

Sa City fans didn't expect the team's first goal of the season to be so spectacular, and it was arguably a good display of Blair's physicality and the first shout out from the whole league from the brand-new Kings team.

Although the Timberwolves players did not take the ball to heart, it has to be said that they did underestimate the strength of the Kings' young group and the importance that the opponent attached to this game.

The Timberwolves served from the baseline, and they started their second offense, this time the Timberwolves center did not fall into the low post, but covered the core Carter in the high post, but the Kings made a joint defensive conversion at this time, and Viccell's ball was passed by Toby as soon as it came out? Sevig cut off, the Kings' defense is not passive defense, and their defense is also full of aggression.
