On October 30, the NBA officially kicked off after the opening game between the Timberwolves and the Spurs, and the game between the Timberwolves and the Spurs was naturally the highlight of the first game day of the NBA. Everyone wanted to find something they were looking for from this game, and after this game everyone else did get what they wanted from this game.

The result of this game is not unexpected, although because of the departure of Mobley and Lewis, everyone is also optimistic about the Timberwolves' journey this season, but their power list is still defeated by many expert media ranked second, and the Spurs' power list this season is only sixth, there is still a certain gap from the Timberwolves, and the result of this game is also the same, the Timberwolves won 116-107 at home against the Spurs, and the difference between the two sides is also acceptable 9 points, not a rout, And the performance of the Timberwolves' two rookies, which these experts are most concerned about, has also received an answer. And it's a very good answer for them.

"The Timberwolves are still the top team in the league. It's a fact, no one will deny this conclusion, but in my opinion they will not be as strong as last season, so invincible, Crawford is indeed a strong newcomer, his individual offense is dazzling, the most fans I think many people will fall in love with him, but he is difficult to replace Mobley's role for the Timberwolves last season, he can't put his teammates in the same rhythm as himself, Ginobili is very good, it is because of his second team of the Timberwolves that he will not be defeated by the Spurs. He's better and more mature than last season, as for Mike Reed. Well, we don't seem to have seen him on the pitch. Did he play? ”

"The opportunity for other teams in the league is here, the Heat, the Lakers, the Grizzlies, the SuperSonics, there are at least five teams in the NBA that have the strength to replace the Timberwolves. They seem to be more reasonable than the Timberwolves, and in addition to the above four teams, let's not forget about the 76ers, who have brought in the league's best defensive player Mutombo this season and last year's Raptors' No. 11 pick Ragabel, and the Timberwolves will face the challenge of the 76ers in the next game. This is a stronger team than the Spurs, can the Timberwolves beat them? ”

Zhuang Fei is very helpless about the schedule of the Timberwolves this season, last season the Timberwolves and the Lakers won all the way at the beginning of the season because a large part of the reason is that the Timberwolves' schedule is very easy, and the strength of the opponent is also very average. After playing the Western powerhouse Spurs on October 30, the following game on October 31 is back-to-back home games against the Eastern powerhouse 76ers.

If the Pacers lost the Eastern crown this season because of the Pacers' retirement of Smitters, then there is another team that has the ability to compete for the Eastern crown in addition to the Heat. That is the 76ers who reached the second round of the East last season, and this season the 76ers quietly got Mutombo, which is the second center in the East, one of the best defensive centers in the league, not only that, Larry Brown also poached last year's No. 11 rookie Raga Belle from the Raptors, the former Wake Forest player has excellent defensive ability and was well-known in the United States in college, but because the Raptors don't pay attention to defense. His ability can't be fully played, as for the offensive ability, he is better than Bowen but is average, so the Raptors, the Wake Forest player, is not reused, it can be said that he was slowly squeezed out of the team's core lineup, and it was best to even be reduced to a substitute, until this season after the Raptors got Mobley, the guard completely lost his position in the Raptors, and at this time, Larry Brown easily got this guard, the Raptors don't pay attention to defense, but the 76ers will definitely attach great importance to it, And Brown also believes the sophomore will be a defensive pillar for the team, shielding Iverson from the defensive end. …,

It can be said that the overall strength of the team after the 76ers introduced such two strong players inside and outside is definitely on a higher level, especially their defensive ability will definitely make it difficult for all teams in the league to shake easily. So this is definitely a big test for the Timberwolves who are fighting back-to-back.

Although Zhuang Fei is not very satisfied with this schedule that makes him a little angry, but there is not too much entanglement, the two sides are very friendly in this game, Larry Brown and Zhuang Fei have a good relationship, both of them are from the NCAA, which is a big circle, although Zhuang Fei and his apprentice Vicky have some pimples, but this does not affect the relationship between the two, and Iverson, the leading player of the 76ers, also worked side by side with Zhuang Fei in the Olympics this year, and the relationship between the two is also very good, As for the 76ers' other big man on the outside, Ragabel is even more so.

The relationship between the two teams was very good before the game, but when it came to the game, it was a little different, the 76ers' defense was fierce, even a little fierce, although it was not those so-called hurtful actions, but it can also be seen that these people really want to take a victory from the target center.

In fact, they do have such strength now, their player lineup is very good, the lineup is Snow's quasi-first-class point guard in the league, Iverson is one of the league's few two-way positions, as for Ragabel, who was pushed down to the small forward position, is now the hub connecting the team's inside and outside, somewhat similar to the role of Timberwolves Jackson, as for Mutombo and Ronhill in the interior position, he is a long-term 10+10 player, and more importantly, this group of players has become a system under the tutelage of Larry Brown, A very tight defensive system, the Timberwolves played very hard at the beginning of this game, although the Timberwolves' offense can still play a very good match, but the shooting rate is not high, mainly because there is too much physical contact between the two sides in this game, and Zhuang Fei is even more depressed His former disciple Ragabel actually restrained Pierce, this slightly thin player made Pierce 3 offensive fouls when he met Pierce, Let Pierce get into foul trouble from the start.

Although the Timberwolves played very aggrieved in this game, the score has been slightly ahead, Nash and Xiao Ao played very well in this game, especially Xiao Ao, his shooting after getting rid of the defense under the cover of Garnett was very accurate, and he and Nash blocked and picked up very well today, as for Nash, because Pierce couldn't contribute too much, he turned on the scoring mode, the 76ers' defense was aggressive, but Snow couldn't catch up with Nash's speed, Nash's pull-up shot after getting rid of a step near the top of the arc in this game was very beautiful.

"Coach, it seems that Reed and Crawford are still not suitable for the team's game now, maybe they should be asked to wait a little longer" Green looked at the situation on the court and said, the second lineup of the Timberwolves has not been resolved, and this year the Timberwolves are also a natural disaster, Zhuang Fei took the national team to go, so there is no time to pay attention to Reid and Crawford. In addition, Green wants to change Crawford's style according to Zhuang Fei's instructions, but this young genius just goes his own way and doesn't listen at all, this is what makes him look like when he was drafted, and now he is still what he is, as for the other player on the team, Reed, Green just wants to cry, this player who was trained by Zhuang Fei as a pitcher is now the worst among Timberwolves players, but after this summer's hard work, there has been improvement, but that progress is not enough at all.

"Don't worry, just watch slowly" Zhuang Fei glanced at Crawford, who was holding the ball on the court hill, and then said with a smile, seeing Zhuang Fei like this, Green could only sigh.

Just as Zhuang Fei finished speaking, Green saw Crawford facing the 76ers' defender Maxwell is a dry three-point shot, and it also caused Maxwell's foul, and what made Green a little speechless was that the kid's three-point shot actually went in. …,

3+1, four points, not to mention that Green is speechless now, even Larry Brown on the other side is speechless, and the situation that the 76ers are about to overtake the momentum has become stagnant again in this four-point game.

In the last game, if Crawford didn't score most of his forced shots, then this game the young guard is back, after this kid's messing around at the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves miraculously pulled the score away.

"Stephen, you know what, since he can't do it like Mobley, then let's go with his own style, maybe we really need such a messy player in the team, but we need to find a way to use this double-edged sword now, we need to try to make him kill the opponent like this game, not kill ourselves like we did in the last game"

He can understand what Zhuang Fei meant, but he doesn't know what to do now, according to Zhuang Fei's current expression, Green believes that he, the coach, has found a solution, which makes Green a little curious.

"And what about Reed? Coach, I don't think he's playing for the team at all right now, and now Sam Mitchell is more suitable than him" Green didn't forget to glance at Sam Mitchell on the Timberwolves bench after saying that, the veteran is now the Timberwolves' third assistant coach, and of course a part-time player.

"Reed, wait a little longer" Zhuang Fei did not directly answer Green's question, in fact, he was also a little disappointed now, disappointed in Reed. Reed now is too different from the one he saw in his previous life. (To be continued.)
