"The Nuggets' lineup in this game is still a little conservative" Zhuang Fei looked at the Nuggets players on the court off the court and said with some meaning, although Billups is still young, but after all, he is a rookie with the top three picks, and there is definitely no problem with his strength, and the rating on the dynasty system, Billups has also reached 80, but now he can't get the chance to start in the Nuggets, the Nuggets and the Timberwolves are considered the two weakest teams in the league at present, not just because the team doesn't have any big stars, It's not just because there are too many new players on the team, but because there are too many young players on the team, and no matter how talented the young players are, they can't help the team's results much, and even Jordan, the god of basketball, can't lead the Bulls to complete the leap when he was young. Originally, when Zhuang Fei thought that Dan Yissel would put out a young lineup like him, Zhuang Fei was obviously a little disappointed.

"Actually, I think the Nuggets' lineup is right, although Billups did not appear in the starting lineup as we expected, but Bryant Stizz is indeed much more experienced than Billups, although Styzz was plagued by injuries last season and did not play much, but a healthy Styzy is a player who can contribute 15 points per game, now it depends on how much he can recover after the injury, and Styzz is still Dan Iseler's old courtier when he created the Black Eight Miracle" D'Antoni glanced at Zhuang Fei, Thinking to myself, not all coaches will be like you, he was a member of the Nuggets' uniform team and is familiar with the Nuggets, and in his opinion, the Nuggets are very right to reject Billups, the king of prodigy in the starting lineup.

The Nuggets' starting lineup for this game is center Lafrentz, power forward McDyce, small forward Eric Williams, scoring guard Stice, and playmaking guard All-Star Nick Van Exel.

Nick Van Exel, Zhuang Fei is not very familiar with this so-called All-Star player, and he also made a point to get to know this person, this is a strengthened version of Little Black Bean Brooks, known as Fan Maniac. The player averaged 5.5 three-pointers per game during his five years with the Los Angeles Lakers, noting, 5.5 three-pointers per game per game.

The Timberwolves, on the other hand, are consistent with the preseason, with center Garnett, power forward Rashard Lewis, small forward Stephen Jackson, and playmaking guard Nash. The starting lineup is three of this year's rookies.

The referee threw the ball into the air, and the game officially began, Garnett pressed LaFrentz to jump the ball, and the Timberwolves won the first wave of possession.

At the beginning of the game, Nash and Pierce quickly followed Zhuang Fei's tactical instructions and quickly scored the first two points of the game when the Nuggets were not on a firm footing.

"Wow, beautiful dunk, but also caused a foul on the defender, it was Pierce, Paul Pierce and Nash's advance was too fast, it was obvious that Coach Z did it intentionally, although the Nuggets were not slow to retreat, but they still couldn't stop the Timberwolves' offense" Commentator El Michaels exclaimed, Coach Z's team has never lacked beautiful offense and dunks, although this Pierce's dunk is really not a grade compared to Carter, but the speed of this offense is indeed fast, and the viewing is not low.

"This kid doesn't look like a rookie at all, in fact, Paul was about to go to the basket just now, but when he turned his wrist in the air, it turned into a dunk, just like he saw Eric Williams behind him" D'Antoni couldn't help but praise as he watched Paul Pierce deceive Eric Williams on the court, and a foul on a beater.

Zhuang Fei smiled slightly, how could Pierce, who had an ability value of 86, look at it as an ordinary rookie? In the 1998 rookie class, the only ones with higher ability values than Pierce were Carter and Szzambiak, two former Wake Forest players.

"Kevin, this Pierce is really good," said Glenn Taylor, pointing to Pierce on the TV and saying to McHale next to him. Pierce for Marbury may really be doable. McHale nodded in agreement.

Grab the speed at the beginning, bring up the rhythm of the game, the faster the better, although Nash will make a lot of mistakes when he is in the position, but his passing is very good when he counterattacks, in fact, the movement speed of Nuggets players is not slow, but as long as the Nuggets players miss the shot, the Timberwolves can immediately launch a counterattack.

Nash, Pierce, and Jackson were extremely active in the early stages of the game.

With only four minutes to play, the Timberwolves led by as many as seven points at 15:8 and scored 15 points in four minutes.

"Actually, the Nuggets' offensive and defensive speed is not slow, but Nick Van Exel's three-point shooting is too much, which is still 2 steps away from the three-point line, he shot, if it goes in, it's okay, but it always doesn't go in, which completely disrupts the Nuggets' defensive rhythm, but it alludes to the offensive rhythm of the Timberwolves" D'Antoni shook his head, he was disappointed that his old club got such a point guard.

Zhuang Fei is actually secretly happy in his heart, the favorite thing about running and bombing tactics is that the opponent comes at his own pace, the best is to get as fast as possible, and now the Nuggets have brought the rhythm of the whole game because of the relationship between Nick Van Exel, and the two teams have not fallen into positions at all, not falling into positions, this is Zhuang Fei's favorite, Nash's problem now is that he doesn't know how to organize his teammates after falling into the position, but if he doesn't fall into the position, then Nash's power doesn't seem to be much worse.

Zhuang Fei remembers that when the Sun and Spurs played in the future, the Spurs would always slow down, even if they attacked for 24s, they couldn't bring up the speed, they had to fight with the opponent to attack the position, and many times in the face of such Spurs, the Suns would not have many ways.

However, it is clear that the Nuggets are not trying to be slow against fast, but with the Timberwolves for fast, because the Nuggets don't think they are slower than the Timberwolves.

Zhuang Fei looked at the situation on the court, smiled slightly, and then stood up from his seat under D'Antoni's surprise, ran to the side of the court and shouted to the Timberwolves players.

"Nash, Paul, Jack, go a little faster"

Nash, Pierce, and Jackson on the field looked at Zhuang Fei with a smile on his face on the sidelines and nodded fiercely.

Dan Iseer naturally saw this situation, but he didn't want to make changes for the time being, he has studied the Timberwolves' two preseason games, and he feels that the Timberwolves' style of play is very similar to the Nuggets, they are not good at positional attack, in fact, the Nuggets are also like this, the two interior players are not the kind of interior that can resist hard under the basket, and the team point guard is not the kind of traditional organizational point guard.

"Oh my God, Coach Z was shouting a little faster to the players on the field, isn't he satisfied with this speed on the field? According to my estimates, the Timberwolves only take a maximum of 10s to complete each offense, and 10s is still slow? So does the 24s rule of basketball work for the Timberwolves? At Wake Forest I remember using a quick play like this in 1996 against the USA, is Coach Z ready to replicate this tactic with the Timberwolves? Narrator El Michaels shouted.

"Aren't you afraid of making a lot of mistakes and then being counterattacked by the other side?" D'Antoni said with a smile to Zhuang Fei, who had just returned to his seat. In his opinion, an attack of 10s or so is a good critical point, which can not only keep the error rate not high, but also achieve a better effect of running and bombing. This is also a theory he usually talks about when discussing tactics with Zhuang Fei, the most effective attack time theory of run-and-bomb tactics.

"I suddenly felt that maybe we could speed up a little faster" Seeing that Zhuang Fei was still unfazed, D'Antoni also smiled helplessly, what a madman.

"The Timberwolves haven't dropped their shooting percentage even after they have picked up the tempo, while the Nuggets' shooting percentage has gone down again, and the two sides are still evenly matched," said commentator El Michaels.

Obviously, under the joint interpretation of the Timberwolves and the Nuggets, the pace of the game is getting faster and faster, and the two sides are evenly matched from the perspective of the game, because the speed and number of shots on both sides are about the same, but it seems that the Timberwolves' shooting rate is better, and the Nuggets' shooting rate is worse.

But is this really the case?

Dan Iseer frowned, because, the Nuggets are now about to be dragged down, this is the intention of the Chinese kid just now, he has seen the critical point of the Nuggets, so he will signal to bring up the speed again, and now the situation on the court is that many of the Timberwolves' shots are shots with opportunities, while the Nuggets are becoming more and more reckless. To put it simply, the Timberwolves are still at ease, and the Nuggets are at the end of their game.

What kind of team is it that can create shooting opportunities in less than 10 seconds? Dan Iser doesn't see his team as a defensive powerhouse like the Spurs and New York, but even so, the Timberwolves' offensive performance in this game is still terrifying.

Seeing that Nick Van Exel can no longer control the tempo on the court. Now the Nuggets urgently need someone who can pull the Nuggets back, who have been like wild horses, to the offensive speed that the Nuggets are most suitable for, and they can no longer blindly compete with the Timberwolves, Dan Yiser is ready to admit defeat in terms of speed.

That's when he made the first substitution of the game.

Just when Zhuang Fei was thinking about when he could drag the Nuggets down, he saw Billups who was about to play on the side of the technical table, and then Zhuang Fei said with a wry smile under D'Antoni's puzzlement: "Trouble is coming"
