"Sure enough, the Kings sent Chris Webber" D'Antoni sighed, there was a lot of news about Webber before the game, some said that he was not in good health and could play this game, and some said that he needed to further check that he could not play this game, and the King has not come out to explain that although basketball is not like football, it is rare to use players' injuries to put smoke bombs, but it is not nothing, it is obvious that the Kings are ready to push the boat down the river in this game, and then put a smoke bomb. Because the Kings with Webb and the Kings without Webb are completely two teams, the Timberwolves' tactics against Xìng will be different, just when D'Antoni hesitated about this, Zhuang Fei was determined to think that Webber would definitely be able to play, and the King's Princeton system could also play in this game, and then Zhuang Fei began his own tactical gamble, it can be said that Zhuang Fei's tactical arrangement before the game was to deal with the Kings team with Weber.

Zhuang Fei looked at the somewhat thin Kings power forward on the court, and sighed a little in his heart.

The Kings' starting lineup for this game is center Verratti Divac, who joined from the Hornets this season, a former Lakers player who averaged 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game this season, and is one of the best centers in the league.

The Kings' starting power forward is Chris Webber, who joined from the Wizards this season, Chris Webber is also like Duncan, O'Neal, Grant Hill, Vince Carter, these people, he was already famous in the United States in college, and he was still the top pick in 1993, but the growth of this player disappointed fans across the United States, after entering the NBA, his growth rate was very slow, and he only made the playoffs once in the five years of the Warriors and Wizards, and then was swept 0-3 both times, and his own performance was also terrible, Compared to Shaq O'Neal, who was at the same time as him in the NCAA, he is already very far behind, even compared to Grant Hill and Tim Duncan, he is starting to fall behind. After coming to the Kings this season, Webber is embarking on his first major style change in his life, so his performance this season continues to disappoint many fans.

The starting small forward is the 1994 NCAA champion Akon Sè University's Chris Williams, a 2.01 meter small forward, in fact, he is also a big forward with the name of a small forward and Garnett's style in the Timberwolves before, the starting point guard is the 1997 No. 11 pick Tariq Abdul Wahad, is a strong forward swingman, a little Pierce flavor, but all aspects are far behind Pierce, according to Zhuang Fei understands that these two are not players in the Princeton system, Adelman probably began to shoot at the two after taking control of the Kings, because on the bench was still the No. 14 pick Peja from 1996, who was a rookie in 1996 but decided to enter the NBA this year.

The last starter of the Kings was the organization guard McBibby, who was selected by the Kings in seventh place in 1998, because the appearance of Zhuang Fei can be said to be Bibby is the biggest victim, in Zhuang Fei's previous life, Bibby was taken by the Grizzlies in the second place, but now the Grizzlies chose Carter, and he fell to the seventh place before being selected by the King, but although the pick is not high, Bibby quickly became the outside core of the Kings this season, This season's performance of 14.5 points and 4.8 assists per game is also extremely good, of course, because of the three super rookies such as Vince Carter, Paul Pierce and Szzebiak who have averaged 20 points per game this season, McBibby has also been ignored by the media.

In Zhuang Fei's view, this king still has a lot to improve, and has not yet reached the peak, they have averaged 101 points per game this season, ranking third in the league, second only to the Timberwolves and Lakers, and their average of 101 points per game is ranked first in the league, and more importantly, this team's three-point shooting this season is very poor, Peja is now the best three-point shot of the Kings, but he averages 1.6 shots per game, and the shooting rate is just 33%, while Mike Bibie's three-point shooting rate is only 25%, as for Webb, He has now begun to change his style of play, he has been criticized for shooting too many three-pointers when he was with the Wizards, and he has made less than 1 three-point shot this season, so it can be said that Webber has begun to seal his three-point skills, so this is also the reason why Zhuang Fei dared to make 4 to 5 in this game and give up the three-point line.

was thrown to death by such a three-point shot from the Kings, and he Zhuang Fei also admitted it.

The Timberwolves' starting lineup for this game is still unchanged, center Garnett, power forward Rashad Lewis, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Jackson, and playmaking guard Steve Nash, which is also a lineup that the Timberwolves have almost never changed this season, no matter who the opponent is.

As the referee threw the ball into the air, the much-anticipated game for Timberwolves fans began.

This jump, the Timberwolves still won, there are few examples of failure in Garnett's jump ball this season, as the ball was photographed, Nash quickly moved forward, this season Nash after experiencing a slump at the beginning of the season and the madness of facing the Lakers at the beginning of the season, slowly returned to calm, and now he has been called the third man of the Timberwolves by the media, The performance of 13 points and 7.5 assists per game is also qualified as a starting point guard on a playoff team, before this game, the media compared Nash and McBiby and found that the two have similar general styles, strong offense and poor defense, the difference is that Bibby's offensive desire is stronger, and Nash's organizational skills are better, but on the whole, the media unanimously believes that the two are half a catty.

However, at the beginning of this game, Nash, who was "not strong in offense", came to a dragon, and after receiving Garnett's jump ball, Nash went directly to the king's frontcourt, and the king couldn't defend, Nash made an easy layup and scored the first two points of the game.

"It would have worked better if Nash split the side of this ball, Jackson, Pierce, Lewis have all been established outside the three-point line, and the Timberwolves will definitely play three-point tactics in this situation before." D'Antoni looked at Nash on the court and thought in his heart, Zhuang Fei made the Timberwolves change a lot of style in this game, the main point is to strengthen Nash's personal offense, and he will play by himself when he has the opportunity, instead of assisting his teammates, this arrangement is good and bad, but D'Antoni personally thinks that Zhuang Fei has made a fuss about this game, although the king has been in good shape recently, but there is still a gap compared with the Timberwolves, and it is good to play his strength steadily.

This game did let everyone see a different side of the Timberwolves, McBibby who defended Nash was a little worried when he saw Nash flying, his defense has always been questioned by media pundits, the pace of defense is too slow, and the awareness is not good, one is him, one Webb, these two people are also the main contributors to the Kings being the worst defensive team in the league this season.

Every time Nash gets the ball, Nash will burst into Bibby first, although he may not always get his own opportunity to attack in the end, but at least it tears a hole in the Kings' defense, so that the Timberwolves' tactics can be implemented more easily.

In the NBA, tactics are tactics, systems are systems, and sometimes, a team will play four or five sets of tactics in a round of offense, so generally speaking, the system is the guiding principle. For example, the Timberwolves, the Timberwolves' system is run and bomb, so the Timberwolves pursue fast offense and quick shots.

Of course, like the run-and-shoot, Princeton and the triangle offense are also a system, the run-and-shoot attaches importance to the block-and-roll and cover cooperation, because the block-and-roll cover is the simplest tactical routine, the simpler the natural speed, the faster the speed, the pursuit of speed of the run-and-bomb tactics will naturally be based on blocking and dismantling, and Princeton pays attention to passing and cutting back to run, such a coordination routine is much more complicated than blocking and dismantling, although the tactics implemented by Princeton are higher than the blocking and dismantling, but the NBA's tactics are not the more advanced the better.

"Each of the Kings' players has a certain passing ability, although the Timberwolves' man-to-man marking is already very tight, but it can still allow them to find the space to pass and cut" The opening scene of this game is dominated by the Timberwolves, because the Timberwolves have always been leading the score, Zhuang Fei's man-to-man marking in the three-point line does create a lot of difficulty for the Kings' passing and cutting run, but the Kings rarely make passing mistakes, and sometimes, the Kings' McBibby can still sneak to the basket unnoticed, If Garnett does follow Divac like any other team has done against the Timberwolves, then McBiby will really be able to make an easy layup.

"I really understand why you pressed Garnett under the basket now, Kevin's movement is too fast, and the defense is aware of sè, almost one person can control the entire basket, the King's inside outside line can't complete the layup under his nose at all, he can only come in and go out in gray, Kevin is simply the Nemesis of Kings this Princeton" D'Antoni looked at Garnett on the court excitedly, just now McBibby slipped in again, and also received Divac's ball, And Garnett was also attracted by Chris Williams, who pretended to cut in on the other side, and McBiby thought it was a good scoring opportunity, but he didn't expect that Garnett would soon be able to return from the right side of the basket and give him a big hat directly.

McBibby looked at Garnett who was standing in front of him with a cold face in surprise, and there was a stormy surprise in his heart, this big man is moving too fast, is this person really a center? Even that Tim Duncan of the Spurs wasn't so fast.

Garnett felt a little regretful in his heart, although the ball was stopped by him, but because the time was indeed a little tight, there was no other choice but to fan it casually, and finally the ball was fanned out of the bottom line by him, the ball is still the king's, and the Timberwolves also missed a chance to break fast, and now the Timberwolves players are full of fast-break blood in their bones, and Zhuang Fei's transformation of this Timberwolves is indeed very successful.

"Kevin's movement speed and defensive range have always been his strengths, Duncan is inferior to him in this regard, it can be said that he is the biggest nemesis of Princeton's cut-in tactics, as long as he sticks to the basket, it is really difficult for the king to break through his defensive range" Zhuang Fei smiled slightly, of course, this can only restrain Princeton's cut-in, like many people's first impression of running and bombing is blocking and dismantling, Zhuang Fei's first impression of Princeton is to cut in, so in this game he is mainly to formulate how to limit the king's cut-in, but it is also like running and shooting, Princeton also has a lot of other tactics, and if they can't cut in, they must have other options. This is also what Zhuang Fei wants to know, the bottom line of the Kings.

Zhuang Fei was eager to see what unconventional weapons the king's arsenal had besides the conventional weapon of Chuanqi.

Soon, Kings head coach Adelman called a timeout.
