Zhuang Fei has been in a good mood recently, the team has been winning streak, and now it is unbeaten in 15 rounds, and the players are in good shape, not only the physical condition has not been affected by the shrinking schedule, but also in terms of psychology, the players have also become excited and hungry because the team has entered the playoffs early, and they are now the same as Zhuang Fei, they also hope to get a good ranking, so as to let themselves go further.

With full personnel, people's minds, and excellent condition, such a Timberwolves full of hope against the Spurs team who have recently had a bottleneck in form and physical fitness, the balance of victory and defeat has been tilted, if you can step on the Spurs to reach second in the West, this will be a huge psychological bonus for the Timberwolves players and Zhuang Fei. This will give them greater self-confidence.

Today's Spurs starting lineup is center David Robinson, power forward is Tim Duncan, small forward is Sean Elliott, scoring guard is Mario Ealie, playmaking guard is Avery Johnson, this season Spurs are one of the few teams that average more than 10 points per game in five starters, this is an extremely difficult thing, even the Timberwolves, a team that is good at offense, offense-oriented, and all five starters have strong offensive ability, has not done such a thing, Neither Lewis nor Jackson averaged 10 points per game in the Timberwolves' starters, and don't forget, the Spurs are just a defensive team, which becomes terrifying, and being able to score easily when defending the opponent is what the NBA traditionally calls a king team.

The game officially began, the jump ball between the two sides was still Garnett won, Duncan lost, if there is a jump ball award this season, the Timberwolves' Garnett will undoubtedly win, this season the Timberwolves have almost become accustomed to the team getting offensive opportunities at the beginning, and then the other Timberwolves players have long been ready to play the fast break.

After receiving the ball, Nash quickly went to the front court, the Spurs' defensive quality is very high, don't look at their age, but their defensive speed is absolutely first-class, and they have a prejudgment of the Timberwolves' opening fast break, in recent months, the Timberwolves' players have changed dramatically, the players have accumulated enough confidence through continuous wins, and continuous wins can stimulate the growth of young players, which is an eternal truth, And the biggest improvement among them is naturally the Timberwolves' point guard Steve Nash, who is now able to control the team's ball very calmly.

Johnson Jr. was surprised, because he had a little understanding of Nash and the Timberwolves before the game, Nash is not a reckless person, and the Timberwolves are young but not a reckless team, but what does Nash mean when he opens the game?

Johnson Jr. retreated all the way to the center circle, and Nash was also there, and then Nash just looked up slightly and immediately threw the ball in his hand into the air, and Jr. Johnson helplessly found the ball flying over his head, and then flew to the basket.

With such a long-distance pass, do you want to overcome the aerial relay? It's too underestimating the Spurs Twin Towers, Johnson was stunned. However, to his surprise, the Timberwolves actually completed this aerial relay.

Pierce dribbled diagonally from the right side at 45 degrees, then jumped high and grabbed the basketball with one hand, which was a stretch dunk.

Could it be that he had already anticipated the gap between Pierce's running line and the Spurs' twin towers? Johnson couldn't help but sweat in his heart, if this is really the case, then this Nash is too terrifying.

"Good anticipation, good passing, you can't have both, Nash has a lot of confidence now, and a lot of the ball that was impossible to do before has become easy, which reminds me of his performances against the Lakers at the beginning of the season, which is like a god." D'Antoni said with a smile from the sidelines.

"Yes, but this time it should be said that the whole Timberwolves team has a strong self-confidence, Pierce dares to insert it into the basket, which is not so easy, the Spurs interior line is not comparable to other teams" Zhuang Fei smiled slightly, and then said. Nash is great right now, but Pierce is also brave with his diagonal insertion, and he's breaking ground on the heads of two giants.

If the Timberwolves are naturally inferior to the Spurs in terms of strength alone, even if the Timberwolves have a large group of A-level players with great potential, but the potential is the potential, which is still not directly linked to the ability, the Timberwolves don't say that they are compared with the Spurs, even in the West compared to the Trailblazers behind them, the Lakers, and the Rockets are slightly inferior, but the strength of the players in the basketball game is very important, but it is definitely not a factor that determines xìng, even if the Timberwolves have a significant gap with the Spurs in terms of strength, But against such a confident and impactful young team, the Spurs, a veteran team, are enough to drink a pot.

In the face of Pierce, Jackson's turns, Duncan and Robinson's interior twin towers were a little scrambling, the Timberwolves seemed to be deliberately killing the basket, Pierce and Jackson were in very good shape, especially Jackson, who was able to shoot before falling to the ground when he was knocked away by Robinson.

As soon as this game started, the imposing Timberwolves beat the Spurs a little dizzy, which made the ** Vicky face off the court very ugly.

In Vicky's heart, he is naturally prepared for the outbreak of the Timberwolves, after all, the Timberwolves are in full swing now, but they did not expect that the Timberwolves would be the strong point of directly impacting the Spurs and impacting the Spurs' interior line.

Fortunately, the Spurs' Tim Duncan was able to score continuously by beating Lewis on the inside, which also made the gap between the two teams not so big, but he couldn't rely on Duncan's play alone to continue his life, so the consumption was too great for Duncan, and the ignorant state of the other Spurs players made Vicky very dissatisfied.

Vicky called a timeout with a black face in his anger, and he needed to refresh the spurs.

Zhuang Fei greeted the players on the court under the Timberwolves with a smile, and now the Timberwolves are on the fast track.

At the end of the timeout, the performance of the Spurs was still a little embarrassing, although it improved, but it still failed to stop the pace of the young players of the Timberwolves, in the rhythm of the game, they were completely pinned down by the Timberwolves, and after the end of the first quarter, after the Spurs who are good at defense met the Timberwolves who are good at offense, the strongest spear smashed the strongest shield, the score was 31-22, only in the first quarter, the Spurs fell behind by 9 points, the defense could not be prevented, and the offense could not be opened, which became a vicious cycle.

The home game is played like this, which can also show how angry the Spurs head coach ** Vic should be, although the team's recent state is really not good, the first three games have lost 2 games, and the ranking has fallen from first in the West to second in the West, if this one continues to lose, then it will be directly surpassed by the Timberwolves, and then fall to third, which is definitely not allowed by Vicky, and it is also something that the Spurs must not allow.

"Haha, guys, good job, we have to maintain this momentum next, the Spurs are actually nothing more than that, we are the best team in the NBA now" Zhuang Fei continued to cheer off the court, which made D'Antoni next to Zhuang Fei a little worried.

"Zhuang, is it okay for you to do this? Now our players are like a flame, the momentum is already very strong, if it continues to burn, I am afraid that they will not be able to hold on until the end of the game and will dry up, should we make them more calm now? D'Antoni whispered in Zhuang Fei's ear and reminded that there are too many such things in the NBA, the front is smooth, and the back suddenly loses power.

"No problem, since the Spurs are not in good shape, we take this opportunity to completely burn them out with a single fire, so that they have no chance to resurrect." Zhuang Fei said confidently to D'Antoni.

Zhuang Fei is not a rookie coach, of course he understands what D'Antoni's worries are, but Zhuang Fei saw the Spurs bench, ** Vicky was pointing at the Spurs players and scolding, this angry head coach gave Zhuang Fei a lot of confidence, aren't you in poor shape? Then I will completely trample you to death in waves, this is what Zhuang Fei thought in his heart.
