The three new players on the court have been fully rested, and their physical strength is undoubtedly extremely abundant, and the three of them are already tough on defense, so the most intuitive performance after playing is that they are extremely oppressive on the defensive end, and they are inseparable from the defenders, plus the old AK is also a defensive giant, Lillard is also fighting, and he spares no effort to follow the defenders, resulting in the result that the Bulls did not send the ball, forcing Thibodeau to call a timeout again.

"Well done! Continue to maintain this defensive intensity. ”

Chen An clapped vigorously, encouraging his teammates, he also looked very excited, after all, there were only more than 20 seconds left to win this hard-fought victory, and the meaning of winning such a game was better in his eyes than winning ten weak teams.

Thibodeau asked for a short timeout, and as time flashed back on, the Bulls made a change and replaced Jimmy Butler with Nate Robinson. This time, the Bulls were Hamilton serving on the sideline, he was experienced enough, and the other four lined up, and when the whistle blew, Rohr Deng and Little Potato made a left and right interspersed posture, but turned their heads, but the two of them shook a shot and began to run together outside the three-point line, while Boozer and Noah gave a no-ball cover at the same time to block the defender, and in the end, Rohr Deng gave a no-ball cover to block the chasing Lillard, Crowder did not change the defense in time, and the little potato got plenty of space to catch the ball steadily.

After getting the ball, the timer began to move, and in the face of the little time left, the little potato did not pause at all, and dribbled directly to the inside, Crowder blocked it for the first time, but the little potato made a sudden stop, and then stepped on the position of half a step outside the three-point line and directly pulled out the jump shot.

His shot was fast, Claude couldn't block it, but the basketball flew out and finally smashed on the edge of the basket, Noah jumped up and grabbed for the first time, but the old AK was faster, using his arm span and bounce speed, and poked out first.

Green blocked Boozer, Beverley jumped up from the crowd and cleverly collected the rebound, and Hamilton hugged Beverley to fight for the ball, but in exchange for the referee's whistle.

Fouled, Beverley made two free throws.

Beverley was quite competitive, hitting two free throws at the critical moment, the difference came to 8 points, the suspense of the game was basically killed, and the remaining game time was only 13 seconds. Chen An did not make any substitution adjustments, after all, it was still a defensive round next.

Thibodeau's timeout had run out, and he could only watch as the players on the court ended the game in their dying throes, and in the end, the Magic won a hard-fought away victory 101-93.

At the end of the game, Chen An politely walked over and shook hands with Thibodeau, but Thibodeau was obviously a little reluctant to let go of the loss, and only said: "Looking forward to the next encounter, of course, it is better for Rose to come back as soon as possible." ”

The implication of Thibodeau's words is very clear, that is, to tell Chen An not to be a Ross, I can give you a Rose today, and in this case, you will only win narrowly.

Chen An didn't say anything, smiled and walked into the players' tunnel with the players, after the game interview, press conference and a series of cutscenes, Chen An took the players back to the hotel as soon as possible, but the next thing was not to rest, but to pack up and rush to the airport, and then fly to Minnesota on the West Coast.

This schedule is difficult because of back-to-back road games, and because it is back-to-back games, and after the Bulls, the team has to go to Minnesota immediately after the game, and tomorrow night is the game against the Timberwolves. But you think, it will be around 10 o'clock in the evening after the game, and after the game, a set of procedures will be walked down, and you have to go back to the hotel to pack your things, and it will be half past one in the morning when you get to the airport to board the plane.

And this United States, there is still some distance between the east and west coasts, and it takes more than four hours to fly from Chicago to Minnesota, and when I get to the hotel where Minnesota stays, it is dawn.

Although the players stared at the plane for a short while, the fatigue could not be resolved, so the morning training session was cancelled and everyone went back to catch up on sleep.

In fact, not to mention the players, Chen An is a little unbearable for such a continuous rotation, you must know that he is a coach who has not played yet.

After a morning of sleep, the players' spirits are much better, and Chen An is also much more energetic, after all, yesterday's away victory over the Bulls has greatly improved the team's morale, and the big guys are quite energetic.

After lunch, Chen An gave the players another two hours of rest, and began to assemble at 3 o'clock in the afternoon to go to the stadium for adaptive training.

Chen An asked Kuchi to take the players to do adaptive training, and he discussed the next night's game with Budenholzer and Kerr, Chen An has a health system, he can intuitively see everyone's fatigue through the system, and the young players are okay to say that the condition of the old AK is not ideal, and the fatigue is close to the red line level, which increases the possibility of injury, Chen An means to let the old AK take turns to rest.

But Budenholzer disagrees, first of all, the current 12 years have not yet risen the trend of rotation and recuperation basketball, and the attitude of each team to the regular season is still extremely serious, in addition, the old AK is now the team's defensive core, in the team has not yet created a complete defensive system, the old AK is extremely important to the team's defense, once he does not play, the problem of the defensive end will be highlighted.

Budenhozer's opposition is naturally justified, but he focuses on the outcome of the match, but in Chen's eyes, the outcome of a match does not matter, and he does not want to increase the fatigue of the old AK and thus increase the injury risk. And he also wants to see what problems the team will expose after the old AK is not on the court.

In the end, Chen An overwhelmed the other opinions of the coaching staff and chose to let the old AK rest in turn, and at the same time, Roy was once again put on the injury list by him. So far in the new season, Roy has only played for a few minutes against the Suns, but his physical condition is really worrying, and after the game, he reported to the team doctor that the calf muscles were tight, although the team doctor diagnosed no muscle strain, but for the sake of insurance, Chen An did not send Roy in the last game, and he is not ready to use it against the Timberwolves at the moment, so he simply put it on the injury list.

As a result, coupled with the fact that Aldridge the White Bear has not been recalled, there are only twelve people registered by the Magic team in this game, plus it is a back-to-back game, and the fatigue of the players is not low.

However, Chen Anxin still thinks that winning the Timberwolves should not be a big problem, after all, in his memory, the Timberwolves in the 12-13 season in the last life have become fish belly. Chen An thought well, but when the game started, he soon found that the course of the game was completely different from what he expected.
