"You see it's Mr. Glenn"

After the Timberwolves fans who were surrounding the target center outside the target center saw the familiar figure, these fans who were chatting in the square suddenly looked at the figure and then commotioned. Even the fans who were already lining up to enter the stadium looked back at the source of the commotion.

Glenn Taylor, the big owner of the Timberwolves, the businessman who has been criticized, is now loved by all Timberwolves fans, and in the hearts of fans, this owner spent a huge price to hire the legendary NCAA head coach Zhuang Fei, so that the Timberwolves have today's results.

"Mr. Glenn, I will definitely elect you to the Minnesota Congressman this year"

"Me too, you're the pride of our Minnesota"

"Mr. Glenn, do you think we can win the Spurs today"

"Mr. Glenn"

Glenn Taylor smiled and waved to these crazy fans, he used to come to the target center to watch the game through a special channel, but since the beginning of this season he has never walked through a special channel, he will always appear on time in the target center square an hour before the start of the game, and then check in like ordinary fans, he enjoys the respect of these fans for him, he used to be a vampire, now he is a savior, And since the Timberwolves came up, his popular approval rating in Minnesota has been high.

"Mr. Glenn, I think we need to hurry up, otherwise it will affect the entrance" Glenn Taylor frowned after listening to the urging of his assistant, but he kept smiling and shaking hands with every fan who surrounded him.

Look at Glenn Taylor like this. The assistant didn't have a way, this boss didn't come here to watch the game at all, maybe in his mind he came here to shake hands with others, but seeing more and more fans around, the assistant had to urge again, until he urged three times, Glenn Taylor was a little reluctant to leave the crowd. This also made the assistant breathe a sigh of relief.

By the time Glenn Taylor entered the Target Center, the stands were basically full, and I saw the scene. The businessman smiled with great satisfaction, and the current attendance rate is also among the top in the league. As the big boss of the team, of course, he doesn't have to worry about coming late and not having a seat, he has a special seat in the target center.

"Kevin. We can win this game."

"Huh, Mr. Glenn?" McHale was stopped by Taylor as soon as he tried to stand up, and Taylor then sat down next to McHale as well.

"We've been doing well this season, but the Spurs beat us last season, so we can get revenge in this game," Glenn Taylor asked, looking at McHale expectantly.

"It should be possible" McHale said perfunctorily, this owner doesn't know much about basketball, and in McHale's mind, this boss doesn't plan to understand basketball, so he won't tell Glenn Taylor too much about basketball, since he wants to know the winner, then just tell him about the winner.

"Oh. Is this really the case" Glenn Taylor saw McHale nodding again, and then took off his coat with a smile, and Glenn Taylor's coat actually reflected the word "revenge", which made McHale on the side of the side scorched and tender.

"This Nima has been prepared for a long time, it turned out to be a show," McHale said with a wry smile in his heart. Unlike McHale's wry smile, the broadcast camera of the target center has swept to Glenn Taylor, and Taylor actually made a winning gesture towards the camera, and Glenn Taylor's actions caused collective applause from more than 20,000 fans at the scene for a while. Obviously, as the election approaches, the big boss of the Timberwolves has already begun to promote himself. …,

"What's going on?" Zhuang Fei just looked at the players on the court. Didn't notice Glenn Taylor, only suddenly the stands at the Sen Target Center boiled.

"Nothing" D'Antoni shook his head with a wry smile and said, Zhuang Fei also nodded, even if there was anything now, he didn't care about it, this

The stakes are too big for the Timberwolves to win. Although Zhuang Fei thought that he would not lose to Vicky in the playoffs last season, whether it was technical or tactical, or otherwise, but the loser of that round of the series was indeed him, and it was the first time in his own coaching career that he failed to win the championship.

At present, for the Spurs, who are now in fifth place in the West, this game is also crucial, as the defending champions, if the performance is too bad this season, then their championship last season will be questioned, in fact, the current doubts have appeared, such as the lack of gold content in the shrinking season, not the real championship, and in the face of such doubts, the Spurs' performance in the regular season this season does seem to echo this

Elliott, one of the Spurs' key players this season, missed a season due to kidney transplant surgery, and the team's leader, Admiral Robinson, has also begun to decline slowly due to age, and several other major players such as Avery Johnson, Mario Ely, Terry Porter, Jaren Jackson, Jeromy Corsi, etc. are all veterans over 33 years old, and some have even begun to run to forty, so it is not easy for such a team to bring them to the top five in the West this season, because the main player of the Spurs team is Duncan, a young man in his 20s, even if Zhuang Fei leads the Spurs, it may not be better than Vicky. It can be said that Zhuang Fei respects Wei very much for this. I remember that in later generations, some fans joked that as long as Vicky is given a Duncan, regardless of the strength of others, the Spurs can maintain a record of more than 50 wins every year, and this is a coach who is very good at tapping the team's potential.

Just when Zhuang Fei was thinking about how to deal with Vicky, Vicky was also thinking about how to deal with the Timberwolves, last season's confrontation with Zhuang Fei was the most failed and most successful confrontation of Vicky's career, the most unsuccessful was that he almost lost in terms of on-the-spot command and even tactical arrangement, and the most successful was that his team won. And finally won the championship, and now more than half a year has passed, and Vicky is still suffering from the pressure brought to him by Zhuang Fei in that series, Zhuang Fei is definitely the most terrible enemy he has ever seen.

At this time, the two looked at each other as if they had discussed, and the two of them were stunned for a moment, and their eyes burst out with unparalleled fighting spirit

"Good morning, friends in front of the TV. I'm Xu Jicheng, a commentator for the CCAV, and sitting next to me is today's guest commentator, Zhang Lizhang, who is playing the Timberwolves at home against last season's league champions, the San Antonio Spurs. The Timberwolves are 26-1 so far this season and now sit in first place in the West, and their winning streak is now 11 in a row. Now that the Timberwolves are hitting the winning record set by the Bulls in the 1995-1996 season, what do you think of this game?"

"Both teams are strong teams, the Timberwolves are in better shape this season, the Spurs are in average form, so I think the Timberwolves have a bigger advantage, but even then I believe this game will be a very good game." After Instruction Zhang finished speaking, Teacher Xu nodded with a smile.

"Coach Zhang, according to the news from the front, he is still unable to play in this game, and it looks like he has a serious cold. So do you think that a rough absence from this game will have any significant impact on the Timberwolves? ”…,

"Well, the impact is definitely huge, and the Timberwolves' offense is playing very reasonably when they're on the court, and Jermaine O'Neal, a player I think everyone knows, he's very physical. It's just that the head is sometimes not very good, and every time he attacks, he will always get into the crowd, and then destroy the integrity of the Timberwolves, so it can be said that the general absence will greatly reduce the offensive strength of the Timberwolves," Director Zhang said with a smile

Mr. Xu also said again and again that in China, Xiaoao has now been hacked and can no longer be hacked, and almost every other player in the Timberwolves voted for the last All-Star vote has good votes. However, Xiao Ao, the main center, received almost 0 votes, and the American beauties voted, and no one from China voted. But who made him Wang Zhizhi's rival.

"Director Zhang is right, now we still hope to be able to recover well, and then re-enter the Timberwolves lineup, leading the Timberwolves to win the regular season championship this season, okay, the players on both sides are already standing ready to jump the ball, the players of the Timberwolves in this game are center: Jermaine O'Neal, power forward: Kevin Garnett, small forward Paul Pierce, scoring guard Jackson, playmaking guard Nash, Spurs center is David Robinson, power forward is Tim Duncan, small forward is Jaren Jackson, The shooting guard was Mario Elie, the playmaking guard was Avery Johnson, and the game started with both sides jumping the ball"

"Huh" Garnett looked at Duncan in front of him and took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart, he lost last season, very completely lost to Duncan, but this season, he will never think that he will lose again, judging from the current performance, he is the first time to face Duncan with a posture of a superior, because he is now the first in the MVP list, and Duncan is the fourth.

As the referee threw the ball into the sky, Garnett jumped high almost like a spring, although Duncan also jumped at the same time, but it was obvious that whether it was the speed or the height, Garnett was much better, Garnett picked up the ball soon after Garnett took the ball, Nash did not dribble, but directly threw the ball hard, and threw it to the backcourt of the Spurs, and Paul Pierce in the backcourt of the Spurs was racing with Jaren Jackson, it is obvious that Jaren Jackson, a veteran who is over 33 years old, suffers very much in speed, And he also suffered a little in the confrontation, just ran a few steps close to Pierce and was squeezed out of Pierce and then got rid of.

This is the most classic start for the Timberwolves, and now other teams in the league call this way of going down the fast break "Minnesota fast down", whether it is used by the Timberwolves or not, this kind of fast play has been called "Timberwolves fast down", which is a sign of the Timberwolves.

There was a smooth road ahead, and when Pierce came to the free throw line, the basketball just fell from the air, and Pierce took two steps and flew directly high, pressing the basketball into the basket with one hand like a roc spreading its wings. After dunking the ball, Pierce hung on the basket with one arm and then roared at the Spurs' bench, seeing this scene, Vicky's face on the sidelines became extremely bad, he had already arranged for this kind of start for the Timberwolves, but Jaren Jackson, who defended Pierce, couldn't bear Pierce at all, and his strength and speed were completely lost.

With Pierce's roar, the atmosphere in the center of the target reached its first level.

"Whew, that's a good feeling" Pierce got off the basket, and then the referee quickly gave him a T, a technical foul, and Pierce hung the basket for too long. But Pierce didn't care at all, and now the stuffiness in his heart had eased a lot.

"This kid can just find trouble, a good two points will become 1 point" Zhuang Fei watched Duncan's technical free throws on the court, and said to D'Antoni next to him with a wry smile.

"That's not bad, now we have a very strong start, and the momentum of the Spurs has been suppressed now" D'Antoni said with a smile, Zhuang Fei looked at him with great interest, which made D'Antoni a little uncomfortable, "Zhuang, why are you looking at me like this?" ”…,

"Haha, nothing" Zhuang said with a smile, but in his heart he was very emotional, when D'Antoni first followed him last season, the American would not observe the changes in momentum on the field, nor would he look at the useless mistakes of the players on the field so indifferently, but now, his assistant has been able to grasp the changes on the field very well, it can be said that invisibly, D'Antoni is also improving.

Pierce's extremely strong start was to make the Spurs' position a little messy, and Pierce, who was played by the Spurs last season, was extremely strong in this game, although Elliott is not there now, but it still can't stop him from getting revenge, Jaren Jackson was Elliott's substitute last season, and this season is not very often, and this game was completely eaten raw by Pierce at the beginning.

However, although the Timberwolves still have an incomparable advantage on the outside, the Spurs' current Dinghai Needle Tim Duncan is very stable, and it is impossible to kill them with a stick.

Just when the Spurs were becoming more and more passive, Duncan finally moved, received a pass from the little general, Duncan cut directly into the basket with the ball, and watched Garnett, who was cut into, tightened his heart, and then also greeted him, but looking at Garnett's arrival, Duncan shook the ball gently, David Robinson received the ball with his back to Xiao O, and then quickly pushed the ball out again, this is a basketball wall hit two over one, Garnett was passed by Duncan, and at this time only Xiao Ao was left under the basket, Garnett's disposition made Xiao Ao unable to advance or retreat, But in the end, he still responded, but when he was next to Duncan, Duncan was already carrying him for a one-arm dunk. Xiao Ao was also pushed back a step.

Duncan returned Pierce one. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
