Under the discussion of fans, the game was suddenly full of anticipation.

Everyone's attention stayed on the game, especially Adelman, who wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in Chu Xuan's gourd.

In the third minute of the game, it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, and Badinger received a pass from Lefou, broke through the interior and wanted to dunk, but was chased by Knoll and given a big hot pot.

Subsequently, the Timberwolves continued to serve, and under the multiple transfer of the ball, it was still Badinger who made a shot. This time, though, Badinger made a three-pointer. However, what can definitely make him depressed and vomit blood is that this three-point shot is still covered by Noll.

In just a few minutes, Knoll's height, arm length, defender-like agility, and excellent athleticism began to show.

It can be said that aside from the technical aspect, Knoll's conditions are definitely able to play the No. 3 position.

This time against Badinger, Knoll showed a complete shock and surprise. No one expected that Knoll would actually be able to play the No. 3 position and still put on such an amazing defensive performance.

However, Chu Xuan asked Noel to play the No. 3 position, the purpose was not only in this one place, he still needed Noel to do a lot, otherwise, he would not have taken such a risk to let Noel play the No. 3 position.

For the Timberwolves, the tactics have not changed much, Adelman does not have any intention of timeout, and the Timberwolves players on the court naturally still play according to Princeton's tactics.

Although Badinger did not have any advantage against Noel, the Wolves attack needed the air cut of the front line to cooperate, and after that, the other players of the Wolves still trusted Badinger and gave him two chances to shoot. However, without exception, Badinger was still unable to contribute to the scoring for Wolves.

In this situation, Adelman had to call a timeout and then replaced the lost Badinger.

"Damn, he really thinks the big man can do anything on the outside? I'm going to make you look good this time. Adelman thought about it and waved to the bench, where Derrick Williams was sitting.

"Derek, you're on the field."

When Williams heard this, he immediately came to his senses, and the taste of being a bench really made him very unhappy. And now, Adelman has put him on the field, and of course he has to vent on his opponent.

Chu Xuan saw Derek Williams stand up, his expression did not change at all, which was not what he expected. It is quite normal for the Adelmans to send Williams. Williams can play big and small forwards, and he has a very amazing physical explosion because of his physical strength, and it can be said that once he is activated, it is difficult for the average player to guard against him.

Obviously, Adelman's use of Williams against Noll is undoubtedly a shortcoming of grasping Noll's physical confrontation.

However, of course, Chu Xuan would not give him a chance.

Although the Lakers did not change their lineup, when the game started again, the matchup on the court changed. Noll went to play against Love, while Green went to defend Derrick Williams.

As for the outside, it is still Kobe Bryant against Brewer, and Nash against Rubio.

……

A few minutes later.

The basket creaked, and Knoll jumped off the basket.

On the big screen at this time, the footage of the game just now was immediately replayed, and Noll shook off Lefu with his flexible body advantage and speed advantage, and received Nash's pass and dunk.

It was a spectacular shot, especially Nash's handling of the angle and timing of his passes, which was absolutely epic.

"Damn, let this guy score again." Adelman roared, he was a little depressed why he couldn't stop it.

However, the game on the field does not change with his mood.

When it was the Timberwolves' turn to attack, Rubio played against Nash, which immediately caused a burst of attention from fans.

Rubio is known as a genius point guard that has been rare in decades, but after he played in the NBA, he lost the magic of time, and his grade is at best 8+8 first-line traditional point guard.

Although many people think that he still has the potential to become a star point guard, in fact, he has no offensive ability, and the ceiling is Rondo at best.

Now, however, Rubio is not satisfied with this, and his goal is still to become a star in this league. And this time against the 40-year-old Nash, he naturally needs to show himself.

You know, this is the 40-year-old Nash, if he Rubio can't play an absolute dominant performance, then the outside media will probably say that he is even more unbearable.

In such a mood, Rubio's desire to perform in this game can be said to be very strong.

After Nash assisted Knoll to score, Rubio, who is also a point guard, immediately thought of responding. And with what response? Of course, it can only be passing.

Compared with Nash, Rubio's advantage is that he is young, but Nash's advantage is that he has nearly 20 years of experience in the NBA, he has seen too many different styles of point guards, and he knows how to deal with Rubio.

But, for Rubio, he certainly feels like he can take on Nash.

With such a mentality between the two sides, the first round of the battle can be said to be full of sparks.

Rubio started to run this offense with the help of pick-and-roll, and Brewer and Williams coordinated to cut in and try to disrupt the Lakers' defense.

However, surprisingly, the Lakers' defense is still methodical.

In the end, when Rubio's final ground pass was wanted to go directly to Pekovic on the inside, Nash easily completed the interception, giving Rubio, a young youngster, a mistake.

The moment Nash got the ball, Bryant and Green began to go down at the same time.

At this point, Nash passed the ball to Green, and surprisingly, Green didn't pass the ball excessively, but he started to control the ball and attack quickly.

The excellent ball control skills immediately aroused the attention of the fans, and it is absolutely rare for a young No.4 player to be able to possess such excellent ball control.

Moreover, to the surprise of fans, the expression revealed by Chu Xuan, who is the coach, obviously agrees with Green's approach. It's too bold to have a player who doesn't have to keep the ball in possession.

However, all along, Chu Xuan has been crowned, isn't he known for his boldness?

In the end, the front court played one and two, Green passed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe Bryant made an easy layup.

The success of this ball is not accidental, for the Timberwolves and Rubio, they have to accept that Nash's organizational pass is too much of a threat to them, and Rubio is always in an uncomfortable state under Nash's pass, which makes him a little panicked, and he is beginning to be a little afraid of losing the duel with Nash.

Sometimes, however, the more you are afraid, the worse it gets.

Halfway through the game, Rubio was lost in the matchup with Nash, and many felt that his condition was a little bad and he was extremely struggling.

In this case, the only thing the Timberwolves can rely on is, of course, Lefou.

"Paul, that Spaniard and teammate of yours, he seems to be a little lost." The two sides paused, Chu Xuan chuckled, and in his heart he recognized Nash's performance.

In Chu Xuan's view, although Nash is 40 years old, he still has the ability to compete in the NBA when he is healthy.

And through the current scene, Nash got Rubio in a sophisticated way, and Chu Xuan's heart immediately became firm in the idea that he must leave Nash to play for another year.

Because in many cases, having such a veteran in charge is really beneficial for a team that aims to win a championship. And for the Lakers, Nash seems to be the most suitable candidate.

"Being dealt with by Steve, Ricky's mood can be imagined. Chu, you don't have to care about his feelings, we have to put winning first. Gasol's expression was indifferent and he smiled at Chu Xuan.

Although Rubio and he are teammates, Gasol wants victory more in his heart, and he needs the feeling of victory too much. The bad year before that had scared him too much to remember. So, Gasol is now enjoying the time he is winning, so he doesn't think about anything other than winning.

"Haha, Paul, you're going to kill your relatives carelessly. However, I do have a task for you. Chu Xuan loosened his tie, and it seemed that he was a little hot: "In the next game, I think Adelman will definitely use Lefu to fire, and under the diversion of his energy at that time, the defense is definitely the weakest." I need you to take on the team's interior offense, and even if Kobe Bryant is on the floor, you'll be the number one choice to score next. Do you understand my purpose? ”

Gasol thought for a moment and quickly nodded: "Head, do you want me to use offensive threats to contain Kevin Love?" ”

Chu Xuan nodded appreciatively: "Sort of." But that's only one aspect, what I want is your containment of all of them, and that's what I'm going to do next. ”

"Okay, head, I see, just do it, there's nothing wrong with me here." Gasol listened and nodded without hesitation.

"Well, then follow our number seven tactic to execute the attack." Chu Xuan looked around and said without question.

"Kobe, you're okay, right? I know you're not going to score yet, but in my arrangement, you're the big man. Chu Xuan said with a smile.

For Kobe, Chu Xuan will always be respectful, he will not be stupid enough to be tough with this paranoid guy, that will only make his job difficult.

Kobe Bryant looked at Gasol with a relaxed expression: "I want to see how Paul can get these guys with one hand." ”

There is no doubt that what Kobe Bryant meant was that he didn't have any problems. Whether or not it's a matter of Kobe's relationship with Gasol, as long as he obeys, that's a good sign.

After hearing this, Chu Xuan didn't say anything more, and directly waved his hand and signaled the players to play. (To be continued.) )
