I really didn't expect the final showdown to be like this" Magic Wood Master Johnson sighed when he looked at Zhuang Fei and Larry Bird's hands holding together on the sidelines, Larry Bird is his most respected old opponent, Zhuang Fei is his favorite coach, Zhuang Fei and Larry Bird are also full of stories, these two will meet sooner or later, but this time they met too early.

"There is no change in this game between the Timberwolves and the Pacers, they are the most regular lineups, and now the two teams are ready to jump the ball, the Timberwolves jump ball player is still Garnett and the Pacers are Davis Davis, the lineup of the Pacers in this game is like this, center: Dutch center Rick Smitters, who can contribute 13 points and 5 rebounds per game this season, power forward: Dale Davis, who averages 10 points and 10 rebounds per game this season, small forward: Jalen Rose, 19 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists this season, Shooting guard Reggie Miller, who averaged 19 points, 3 assists and 3 rebounds per game this season, shot 41% from three-point range, group weaver guard: Mark Jackson, 8 points and 8 assists this season, while on the Timberwolves side, the center is Jermaine O'Neal, averaging 10 points and 9.5 rebounds per game, power forward Kevin Garnett, averaging 23 points and 13 rebounds per game, small forward Paul Pearce, averaging 20.5 points and 5 rebounds per game, shooting 42% from three-point range, and scoring guard Stephen Jackson, He averaged 8 points, 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, shooting 44% from three-point range, and teamed up guard Steve Nash, who averaged 12 points and 10 assists per game.

"The Timberwolves are the first in the Western regular season, and the Pacers are the first in the Eastern regular season, which is the real first game in the NBA in the league. The Timberwolves' opening Minnesota quick shot was also a surprise to Michaels, and it seems that Larry Bird has already set it up.

Zhuang Fei looked at the Pacers' retreat and frowned, he knows this Pacer very well, he has been doing this work for the past few days, the Pacers This is a seriously aging team, if the Spurs are the oldest, then this Pacer is the second, the youngest of the five lineups of the Pacers is Jalen Rose, who was once one of the Michigan Five Tigers, he is also a knife age this year, and the other five are all over 30 years old, but judging from the retreat just now, this senior team is not busy at all.

"Hehe, no wonder many people call them the strongest defensive team in the NBA, such a good defensive speed and good defensive awareness, coupled with mature experience, this team is really a little difficult," Zhuang Fei narrowed his eyes and sighed.

The Pacers are not only difficult to deal with their defensive awareness and speed, their defensive formation is also very particular, in general teams such as the Timberwolves center and the big forward's defensive position is generally high and low with the center must be under the basket in the low post, the big forward is standing in a slightly high position and then forming this high and low configuration The Timberwolves are O'Neal Jr. sitting under the basket, and Garnett is brooming in the outside range, but the Pacers are not like this, the Pacers' big forward Dale Davis is standing under the basket, And their big center Smit is standing in the high post, the Dutch big center is not fast, but he is very big and big, as a traditional European big man, his defensive position is very good, although not fast, but the defensive awareness and enthusiasm are excellent, which makes him to the free throw line, the Timberwolves on both sides of the corner area, Nash and Garnett's blocking and pick-and-roll is basically half of the cost.

Of course, for Zhuang Fei, it is not the first time that the two teams have played each other, the two teams in the regular season, winning and losing, but in the regular season, the two teams must not have used the real strength, even in the playoffs, the Heat and the strangers did not force out the real strength of the Pacers in the end, and when the Pacers made a force, both the anvil and the Heat were directly defeated in the end. …,

The Pacers did a good job of the Timberwolves' blocking delay, and now no team in the league says that they can defend against the Timberwolves, and the Pacers naturally know this, so Larry Bird never thought that he would be able to suppress the Timberwolves' offense by relying on this group of old balls, and they could only delay the Timberwolves as much as possible at most, delaying the speed of cooperation between the Timberwolves players, and they did a good job at this point, at least in the first offense of the Timberwolves, the fast offense that the Timberwolves have been advocating failed to play, This offense Timberwolves almost played, and in the end there was no way for Pierce to directly single Jalen Rose, Rose's height is 2 meters О8, although it is not as strong as Pierce, but Pierce's final shot is also a little reluctant, but fortunately, Pierce has a very good opening hand, and he hit a step-back jumper on the right free throw line extension line.

"It's really difficult" Pierce looked at the person behind him, Jalen Rose, once one of the Michigan Five Tigers, is a player who can play three positions on the outside, can attack, pass and shoot, and the defense is also very good. The Timberwolves rarely spend so much time on an offense, and in the end they ended the final battle with a single single, Elvin, it seems that the Timberwolves may be in trouble" Michaels' eyes lit up, he is a fan of the Timberwolves, but as the commentator of Abi, he naturally hopes that this round of the Finals can be exciting, if this year's Timberwolves are still like last year's Spurs directly slaughtered the Knicks, then the ratings will definitely be bad, if the Pacers can show their strength, That's what they want to see.

"Although the Timberwolves took a long time to turn out this time, it was still not messy, Pierce's hand feeling is very good, but Rose's defense is also in place, which makes the Timberwolves' luck very good" Magic Johnson said with a smile on the commentary seat, as he personally hopes that this matchup will be like the last round of the Timberwolves and Lakers Mars hit the earth with offense and offense, but it is clear that although Larry Bird has always said that Zhuang Fei is his idol and old teacher, But the first small forward in the history of the United Nations League has no intention of learning Zhuang Fei's style at all, but has embarked on a completely different path from Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei mainly attacks and he mainly defends, which can not but be said to be a miracle.

The Timberwolves opened the game with a beautiful goal that was not very reasonable, which was a bit of a pity for Larry Bird, but he was not discouraged, his team focused on defense, but it was also not bad on the offensive end, and the Pacers' offense would be very characteristic.

Mark Jackson slowly moved forward with the ball, in this Pacers, Zhuang Fei is most familiar with this Mark Jackson in addition to the old Miller, in Zhuang Fei's previous life, Mark Jackson once went to the Rockets at the end of his career, and also passed the ball to Yao Ming, although he and Yao Ming have not been partnered for a long time, but Yao Ming has always been considered by Yao Ming to be the most comfortable one to pass the ball to him among all the people in his partner. It's not for nothing that Mark Jackson can feed Yao Ming well, and now the Pacers have a player who is very similar to Yao Ming, Dutch center Schmitters.

Little O'Neal looked at the big man in front of him and had an extremely cordial feeling, this is not that the two have any special relationship, but he feels that this big man is very similar to the giant of the Chinese country, there is a very familiar feeling, when he saw Smiters suddenly and slowly pulled out and then stood outside the free throw line and took a step to block with Mark Jackson, O'Neal Jr. had already rushed out, this is one of the most commonly used offensive tactics of the Pacers, Mark Jackson and Smitters' blocking, Just when O'Neal Jr. had predicted Smit's shot in advance, but just like when he faced Yao Ming in training, he didn't cover Smiters this time, the 2.24-meter giant's hand was very soft, and after the shot, he brushed a basketball hollow into the net, and finally left Little O'Neal standing there helplessly. …,

Even at this time, little O'Neill did not forget to look at the position made by the Chinese team in the stands, and the giant of the Chinese country who had suffered so much in training was still sitting there.

The first two offensive scores of the Pacers and the Timberwolves were a great start for both sides, and the players were in good offensive form, and perhaps some fans were expecting a high-scoring game, but they could be disappointed when the game continues.

This is not a high-score game, and even after that, both sides deliberately slowed down the pace, the Pacers were already very slow, but the Timberwolves also slowed down first under Zhuang Fei's special instructions, which made the rhythm of the two teams very slow. The score has been slowly rising.

In fact, the Timberwolves can also be ranked first in the league than the positional attack, and Zhuang Fei is positional offense when he was with the Trail Blazers, but in this game, the Timberwolves did not take advantage of the Pacers who did not look very strong offensively.

The Pacers' offense is indeed very distinctive, Smiters is a high point, when this high point is used as the axis, it can drive the two shooters around them, Reggie Miller and Jalen Rose, Miller can run, Rose can pass, plus Mark Jackson and Smitter's blocking, this is a complete and three-dimensional offensive system, and even Dale Davis, who is standing under the basket, can actually be tied with Garnett when grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt, Garnett is an A+ player.

Judging from the situation, the situation of the two teams is comparable, unlike the pre-game media said that the Timberwolves will be one-sided, it seems that the Timberwolves' head coach Zhuang Fei is also very satisfied, and has not called a timeout.

"The Timberwolves aren't playing as much offense as they should, so why didn't Coach I adjust? Is he going to play a low-score tiebreaker game with the Pacers" Michaels was stunned in the stands, the so-called low-score tiebreaker is naturally a defensive battle, the Timberwolves have been criticized for not being able to defend, not being able to position, some time ago the sub-coach took off the hat of not being able to position, this game will not be to take off the hat of not being able to defend, right?

Thinking of this, Michaels himself laughed, how could it be, if the Timberwolves really don't even have defensive weaknesses, then wouldn't it be perfect, is there a perfect team in the world?
