Chapter 305: Streak and New Mission

(Ask for recommendation)

The Timberwolves' stability is declining because of the departure of Mobley and Lewis, Crawford and Reed are not players who can help the Timberwolves with stability now, but the Timberwolves' tactical changes this season are still second to none in the league, whether it is Nash, Garnett or Ginobili, Sen, whether it is Nash, Garnett or Ginobili, can bring different styles to the Timberwolves, this game is a game dominated by Garnett, Nash has to hand over the command of the team because of Billups, And now, the Timberwolves, under Garnett, are still on par with the Grizzlies.

For the Grizzlies, their team is strong enough now, especially their perimeter, Billups, Carter and Artest, although Atai and Billups have not yet reached their peak, but now both of them are A-level players, and with Carter's A+, it can be said that they are currently the strongest outside team in the league, but like they played the Lakers in the playoffs last season, the interior led by Raheem and Osay Rahanington in this game is not the opponent of the Timberwolves at all, So the two teams are evenly matched on the whole, at least the score has been stalemate until the end of the game until the last moment of the game to separate the winner, Garnett and Carter each played two offenses at the last moment, Carter faced Bowen's defense 2 times to play once, and Garnett was both both played, and finally made the Grizzlies have to use foul tactics to lose the game, the final score is 104-100, the Timberwolves won 4 points away with difficulty, Carter scored 35 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, Billups, on the other hand, had 16 points and six assists. Artest had 10 points, Raheem had 12 points, and for the Timberwolves, Nash had 18 points and four assists, and Garnett had a triple-double of 26 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

"Steve, there's no need to sigh like that, we still won this game" Zhuang Fei said with a smile to Nash next to him on the Timberwolves plane to Minnesota after the game, the point guard was obviously very dissatisfied with this game. This is the first time he has encountered Billups' blockade since his strength has improved, and it can be said that this game has made this point guard see a lot of shortcomings in himself. Nash actually knows that he is not a point guard who can control the pace of the game very well, and in his previous life, Zhuang Fei knew that many people said that Nash was a pick-and-roll point guard in a fast system. It's hard for Nash to make a big difference when he comes out of the system, which is why many people think he's not as adaptable and well-rounded as Kidd. Although this statement is not too accurate, but from Zhuang Fei's current point of view, Nash is indeed a little deficient in controlling the rhythm, at least compared to a top master like Billups, it is still a piece worse, but for Zhuang Fei, Nash only needs to know his shortcomings, there is no need to be too high, everyone has their own characteristics, especially point guards, it is difficult for anyone to be able to do everything, after all, Magic and Isaiah Thomas are only two.

"Coach, I know all that. It's just that I'm still a little depressed when I think of the game just now," Nash said with a wry smile.

"Steve, I think it will be much better when you meet him again in the next game, this is just the first time you have encountered such an opponent, and it will take a process of adaptation" Zhuang Fei finally patted his disciple on the shoulder, and Nash also nodded slightly in agreement.

The Timberwolves ended their away journey and returned to their home court. After the Timberwolves' away victory over the Grizzlies, many media in the NBA no longer say that the Timberwolves will fall this season, the defending champion of last season is still strong, and the Timberwolves who returned to their home court still did not give up the winning streak.

On November 15, the Timberwolves welcomed the Golden State Warriors at home, and the team took away its own star player Szebiak this season and replaced it with the Raptors' all-round forward Jamison to start a rebuild, and the Warriors in the rebuilding this season are still disappointing. Even now Jamison is doing worse than last season's Szczebiak, the Warriors are still the bottom team in the West, this time they are visiting the target center no one thinks they can get a win from the Timberwolves, in fact, this game is the same, from the beginning of the game the West penultimate first has completely lost the fighting spirit, the game went to the beginning of the fourth quarter The Timberwolves won all the main players, the entire fourth quarter became garbage time, and the final score of this game was 143-100, The Timberwolves won by 43 points at home, which was also the most hearty victory of the Timberwolves this season, and with this victory, the Timberwolves ushered in their eight-game winning streak this season. It's just that what makes many people curious is that Timberwolves rookie Michael Reed, who didn't play in the last game, still didn't play in this game, Zhuang Fei threw him directly into the injury list in the last game, and this time he sat on the sidelines for 48 minutes. Even though the team has completely entered garbage time, Zhuang Fei did not let him play, and he is the only substitute for the Timberwolves who did not appear in this game. This also made a lot of media outright assertions after the game. …,

"The rookie has lost his place with the Timberwolves, and Coach Z has gotten tired of him"

On November 17th, the Timberwolves played at home again, this one ushered in the Hawks who had just traded their core Mutombo in the summer, since the departure of the Hawks meritorious head coach Wilkens, this is the former Eastern powerhouse has been completely reduced to a fish belly, this game Timberwolves continued the slaughter of the last game, this game Timberwolves actually scored 136 points in the first three quarters, and the Timberwolves also became the only team in the league to score more than 45 points in three consecutive quarters of a game, Although only 30 points were scored in the fourth quarter under the bench, the Timberwolves' 166 points in this game are also the highest single-game score in the history of the Timberwolves, and the Hawks without Mutombo have completely become a defensive colander, Garnett scored 42 points in the first three quarters, and Nash alone delivered 25 assists in the first three quarters.

Obviously, the current Timberwolves are running wildly, although these two opponents are a little suspicious, but this does not affect everyone's judgment of the Timberwolves' offensive power.

On November 18th, the Timberwolves made another road trip, this time they went to the San Antonio Spurs, which are currently fifth in the West, and many people thought that the Timberwolves would be affected because of their back-to-backs, but the process of this game was not like this at all, it seemed that it was the Spurs who were affected, this game was the third game of the Spurs in 4 days, and this team composed of all veterans defeated the Wizards led by D'Antoni yesterday on the road. They also just flew back to San Antonio, the Timberwolves had no physical problems at all because of the easy game they played, and the Spurs were the opposite, this game the Spurs also insisted on three quarters and finally surrendered, and the final score was 118-100, the Timberwolves won the Spurs by 18 points, and also ushered in their tenth consecutive victory. The Timberwolves also became the second team to win in a 10-game winning streak this season.

"Lost by 18 points in this game? No, I think it's normal, the Timberwolves are very strong, they are the strongest team in the league"

"Well, you heard it right, they're the best team in the league, the Lakers? I don't know, because we haven't played each other yet, but I can confirm that the Lakers won't surpass the Timberwolves anyway, and if you don't believe it, you'll see in the next game."

Zhuang Fei looked at the head coach of the Spurs next to him a little helplessly, and Vicky didn't know what to say, in fact, it had no impact on Vicky's touting of Zhuang Fei, and the Timberwolves players would not be affected too much, and this is not the first time this season that a head coach said that the Timberwolves are the strongest team in the league, such as Larry Brown of the 76ers, Jerry Sloan of the Jazz, etc., Zhuang Fei and his Timberwolves were indeed not affected, but the reporters below were affected.

"Mr. Zhuang, the only team that has not lost this season is you and the Lakers, and the next game is a direct dialogue between you, just now at the press conference of the Lakers' victory over the Jazz, Phil Jackson said that the goal of this season is to break his own regular season win record, so what about you? Will the Timberwolves have that goal as well?"

Zhuang Fei looked at this group of reporters with bright eyes and sighed, in fact, for him personally, he did have the idea of breaking this record this season. But everything needs to be done, and he didn't plan to shout slogans in advance, but now almost everyone in the NBA is expecting his Timberwolves and Phil Jackson's Lakers to break this record that could have been broken last season.

Even for this reason, Zhuang Fei's dynasty system released a new mission after the victory over the Spurs.

Mission: What to expect from the NBA

Grade: A+

Description: In response to the expectations of all players in the league, including fans, media, experts, and coaches, please lead the team to the first place in the regular season and bring the team's number of wins to 73 games or more.

In fact, even without this task, Zhuang Fei's goal this season is to defend the first place in the regular season, but from the current point of view, the Lakers are definitely the enemy, and this team has shown quite strong after coming to Szczebiak. And Phil Jackson has been extremely arrogant lately. and even repeatedly provoked the Timberwolves and Zhuang Fei.

Zhuang Fei didn't say much in the press conference, especially in the face of questions about the Lakers and Phil Jackson. Phil Jackson wanted to provoke him, but Zhuang Fei had no intention of being fooled.

Zhuang Fei was rare to keep a low profile before the start of the game with the Lakers, but even so, everyone's eyes were still unconsciously focused on the Timberwolves' away game against the Lakers on November 20.

Only one of the two teams on a 10-game winning streak can continue their winning streak. And they also want to know who the king of the season is. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
