AT& T center, soon, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

The large electronic screen at the scene also showed the starting lineups of both sides in this game at this time.

For the Spurs, when Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker continued to be absent due to injury, Popovich discharged a starting lineup composed of Jin Feng, Danny Green, Kyle Anderson, LaMarcus Aldridge, and Pau Gasol, and on the Timberwolves side, head coach Thibodeau also directly offered the strongest lineup: Teague, Butler, Wiggins, Towns, Gibbs.

Considering that this game is against a team with strong strength on paper like the Timberwolves, and it is the opening game of the new season, Popovich let Jin Feng play the role of point guard in this game.

When the game officially started, Gasol used his veteran experience to help the Spurs get the first wave of offensive possession of the game in the confrontation with Gibbs, so the basketball naturally came to Jin Feng's hands.

Responsible for the confrontation with Jin Feng is Teague, a former Eastern All-Star, but, as soon as the game began, Jin Feng, who held the ball, gave Teague a dismount, and after the midfielder advanced to the front court with the ball, a very fast back dribble passed, and got rid of Teague in an instant, and then the speed increased again, and he rushed to the basket suddenly.

"Bang"

Jin Feng slammed it off!

"Oh, China's Jin Gan is beautiful, dribbling the ball behind his back, breaking into the basket and dunking successfully"

The game continued, Teague advanced to the front court with the ball, and handed the ball to Butler, in this talented young team, Butler, who transferred from Chicago in the summer, became the leader of the team, so the team's offense, especially the first wave of offense at the beginning of this game, the ball will go through Butler's hands.

Instead of letting Rudy Gay take Leonard's place, Popovich gave the task to Kyle Anderson.

Kyle Anderson, nicknamed "The Human Creep Essence", is known for his slow play.

However, just because he plays slowly doesn't mean he doesn't have anything to offer, or Popovich wouldn't have been able to start.

Kyle Anderson's strength lies in the fact that he plays at a very good pace and is also very good on the defensive end.

Therefore, when Butler, who was holding the ball, faced Anderson, he suddenly found that he was very embarrassed to defend and it was difficult to find an opportunity to shoot.

To be honest, Butler was going to do this attack on his own, because this is what a team leader should do, but now he really can't do it, and since he can't do it, he can only pass the ball.

The Spurs were good defensively on the perimeter, and Butler saw that in an instant, so he passed the ball to Downs in the hope that Downs would open the game through the interior.

However, after facing Aldridge, Downs, who received the ball, also encountered a strong pressure defense, and at this time, there was not much time left for 24 seconds of attack, so Downs could only force a shot.

Both the shooting action and the shooting angle were interfered by Aldridge's defense, so with a "bell", the basketball smashed out of the frame, and the Timberwolves' first attack failed, and the rebound was accepted by Aldridge.

Aldridge, who grabbed the rebound, threw the ball vigorously and handed the ball to Danny Green at the top of the arc, and Danny Green then handed the ball to Jin Feng, who had already run to the halfway line.

Spurs' conversion offense!

The Timberwolves' retreat speed is very fast, however, their retreat formation is very chaotic, which gives Jin Feng the opportunity to use his speed, Jin Feng shook the defender, broke through the layup, and scored another 2 points.

"From this shot we can see that the main problem that the Timberwolves are facing now, their roster has changed a lot this summer, this is a restructured team, both offensive and defensive ends, and once they meet an old powerhouse like the Spurs, they will be used infinitely."

After Jin Feng hit a layup, the Timberwolves' Wiggins didn't have a mid-range shot on the left side of the paint area, and on the Spurs' side, the inside twin towers played a wonderful match, and Aldridge, who held the ball, attracted the defense at the free throw line and assisted Gasol to hit an empty three-point shot at the top of the arc!

7：0！

No one could have imagined that this game would start like this.

“Defend！”

As a head coach who puts a lot of emphasis on defense, Thibodeau was very unhappy with his team's performance in the opening period, and he could not tolerate the team's lack of crosshairs on the offensive end for a while, but he couldn't stand the team giving the Spurs such an easy opportunity to score on the defensive end, which is not in line with his basketball philosophy.

As a star who has grown up on defense like Spurs star Kawhi Leonard, Butler knows that Thibodeau's roar is more aimed at him, after all, he is the core of the team's perimeter defense today.

So, he made a gesture at Teague, what gesture?

The gesture of changing defenses, Butler decided to defend Jin Feng, and he has realized that the reason why the Spurs started the game smoothly has a lot to do with Jin Feng.

"Oh, Jamie is up to China Jin, see how China Jin responds"

Butler's physical attributes and defensive awareness make him a great intimidation against most of the league's backcourt players.

However, this time, Butler found that his defensive deterrent seemed to be ineffective in the face of Jin Feng, because at this time, Jin Feng, who was holding the ball in front of him, did not make the intention of passing, but instead, he meant that this ball was going to be singled out?

"Is it China Jin? I can tell you that I said before this game that I like to play against a player of the calibre of Kawai, so you know what I mean, boy, if it's funny, let's pass the ball, you know you don't have a chance."

Butler made a defensive posture while saying something on his lips and spewed at Jin Feng.

"You're just a soft egg" Jin Feng smiled disdainfully and snorted back.

He thinks it's a little funny, there are always some self-righteous players in this league, and they like to play against high-level players like Kewie, and they don't pee on themselves? Choosing a huddle for the championship seems to be a matter of course?

"Boy, you me off" Butler naturally understood what Jin Feng meant by scolding him for being a softie, which made him very angry for a moment, and he now "hated" others saying that he was holding a group.

Next, Jin Feng didn't pay attention to Butler's words, but directly dribbled under his crotch and threw a mid-range backward jumper against Butler.

The tip of Butler's right finger, which jumped up in front of Jin Feng at the moment of his shot, touched the basketball to some extent, but because Jin Feng shot with great force, the parabola of the basketball did not change much.

After bouncing on the basket, eventually, it got into the basket.

Jin Feng hit a backward jumper!

6 points, in less than 3 minutes, Jin Feng had already made 3 shots and scored 6 points, which ignited the atmosphere of the entire arena...

"China Jin, he seems to be getting stronger again"
