"Zheng Ke scored 29 points in the third quarter, and the Timberwolves beat the Bucks lightly"

"Winning the Opening, Timberwolves Beat Bucks"

"The change brought about by the new coach - the Timberwolves who will defend together"

The Timberwolves, Bucks and Rockets have always been the three teams that the domestic sports media has paid the most attention to. Whenever two of these teams meet, the domestic media will write a special story. However, the Timberwolves won the game in just three quarters, leaving fans watching the game feeling that there was something missing from the thrill.

The team that the NBA pays the most attention to in the new season is the Miami Heat, and the box office appeal of the Big Three is the first in the league; The second is the defending champion Lakers, and there is speculation about whether Kobe Bryant can surpass O'Neal to win a fifth championship; Then there are many giants led by the Timberwolves, who also have tens of millions of fans under their command.

The Timberwolves' big win over the Bucks doesn't cause much volatility, as the two don't look like teams at the same level by any measure.

However, the Timberwolves under Thibodeau's training have changed their style over the years and played joint defense, which is enough to attract the attention of various coaches.

Since the NBA allowed the use of joint defense in '01, it has largely changed the style of many teams. As the most talented group of basketball players in the world, they are no strangers to joint defense, and the basketball IQ of the players here is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, but habitually, people still like to use the passionate defense method of man-to-man.

The same goes for Thibodeau, who uses a combination defense just to add flexibility to the Timberwolves' defensive tactics.

Essentially. The Timberwolves are still man-to-man defense, and all Timberwolves players, including Zheng Ke, are very talented and never afraid of any physical confrontation.

It's really going to be. Or a bluff pseudo-joint defense?

Someone came over to verify the Timberwolves' true identity right away.

November 2nd.

The Timberwolves, who defeated the Bucks and bloodied the Grizzlies, welcomed the challenge of the Heat at home, and there must be a battle between the two, but I didn't expect it to come so early.

After losing to the Celtics in the opener, the Heat linked the 76ers and the Magic. Among them, the 76ers are considered a weak team with no gold content, but beating the Magic can be regarded as a thing that reduces the pressure on the three of them. This time he left Minnesota to challenge the Timberwolves, if he wins. You can also slap the media that looks down on them.

It's a game that can't be easily surrendered to anyone.

In order to make up the Big Three, the Heat ran out of draft picks and took in a variety of talented role players. They are the same as the Celtic Big Three in '07. There aren't many role players on the team other than the three of them. Of the starting five, in addition to James, Wade and Bosh, the point guard is Carlos Arroyo. The center forward is Joel Anthony. System display. One has an ability value of 70 and the other only has 67, but Anthony's rebounding rating is as high as 82, which can be regarded as meeting the tactical needs of the Heat.

"Fight the heat, I'm doing it!" Thomas' loud voice rang out in the Timberwolves' arena.

"If someone wants to fly over your head, you will drag me off! Rest assured, this is the Target Center, and at most it will give you a technical foul. A technical foul. In exchange for someone else's retreat, it's worth it! ”

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Zheng Ke's forehead. He turned his head to look and saw that Jordan Jr. and Anderson had a fierce look in their eyes under Thomas's teaching, and nodded frequently.

"It's really going to be a bandit legion." Zheng Ke shook his head and continued to dribble the ball with both hands.

"Assemble, assemble!"

At this time, Thibodeau clapped his hands and beckoned the Timberwolves players in the training hall to gather.

"Huh~Huh~" More than a dozen Timberwolves players put down the training in their hands and trotted over. After a while, a group of big men of about two meters surrounded Xibodeo.

"Okay, I'll talk about the night's game."

Thibodeau cleared his throat, caught everyone's attention, straightened his chest, and said, "Tonight is a game against the Heat." We went through a summer of training and the end goal wasn't to beat so-and-so. It's about getting the championship trophy, so don't have too much pressure to win or lose. ”

"What I want to see is a different Timberwolves, and what kind of game they can play against the Heat is what kind of game I care about."

"In my team, the minutes are not fixed. The form in training, the form in the game can be an opportunity for you to increase your playing time, the substitute can be a starter, the starter can be a substitute, and through constant adjustment he will eventually become a champion team, I hope you can play at a high level in this game and let me see the results of your summer training. ”

Thibodeau's words suddenly stimulated the eyes of a group of cubs of the Timberwolves to light up. He skillfully used the identity of the "new coach" to draw a beautiful pie in front of the Timberwolves players, but in the end, I am afraid that there is not much to eat, but it can make the Timberwolves' overall combat effectiveness explode.

See the excited Timberwolves players.

Thibodeau smiled, smiling like a fat old fox

At night, the target center is brightly lit.

Outside the arena, Minneapolis citizens walked into the Target Center after a day of work. They had tired smiles on their faces, some teenagers and girls had their Timberwolves logos painted on their faces, the names of Timberwolves players, and other parents posing for photos with their little ones and the Timberwolves' mascots outside the target center.

In the stadium, the two teams have already started to do warm-up training.

It didn't take long for the "court overlord" referee to walk in, and the three of them revealed a hint of domineering between them, if they were wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, it would be Xu Wenqiang.

As soon as the lights dimmed, the introduction of the players began.

Then the players from the two starting teams began to take to the field, and the two sides began to find familiar people to greet each other.

Zheng Ke caught up with the "Big Three".

"This time the three of you are hanging in the sky, Pat Riley must be waking up laughing from his dreams." Zheng Ke smiled and shook hands with James and hit his chest.

"It's ok. It's all about the championship. Now you are the only one in this alliance who can fight me. James sympathized with Zheng Ke and said a famous sentence similar to "The hero of the world, only the king and the ear".

Zheng Keha smiled. I patted him on the thick shoulder, and I was very comfortable listening to it.

After that, Zheng Ke hugged Wade, who was willing to be the second leader.

"I think Anthony will hate you to death, why should I abandon him? At the beginning, it was said that they would play together. Zheng Ke teased, joking with Wade.

"He's going to leave sooner or later, the Nuggets have no market, and the second is in the West, and the last All-Star can't be a starter. He couldn't stand it anymore. Wade whispered in Zheng Ke's ear, breaking the news in a big way.

Zheng Ke said with an expression that I understood: "There are indeed more girls in New York. And more flavorful than on the plateau. “

Wade was very surprised, but he didn't expect Zheng Ke to understand it at one point, and immediately smiled knowingly. The grievances between the "Big Three" and Zheng Ke are not light. A little closer, last year's All-Star Game. Zheng Ke defeated the Eastern Conference All-Stars led by the three of them. Lifted the All-Star MVP trophy. Far away, in the 08 Beijing Olympics, Zheng Ke still defeated the American Dream Team, including the three of them, and won the first basketball team sports gold medal in history for China.

It seems that the Big Three are all suffering, but they are also affected by each other's unfamiliarity. Now that the three of them are on the same team, they have practiced together for another summer, and they have played so many preseason and regular season games, and they have a slight tacit understanding.

After the pre-match greeting ceremony. Players from both sides stood on the field.

Zheng Ke and James stood in the middle line, and the tall backs of the two stood together. With similar heights, a white No. 17 and a black No. 6, the photographer instantly captured and captured this precious picture.

The referee blew the whistle and the basketball was thrown straight into the air. "Drink!"

Pekovic was obviously stimulated before the game, and with a roar of rage, he actually jumped up to an astonishing height. By centimeters, he jumped past Joel Anthony and pointed the ball to the back of his head.

Zheng Ke was stunned, this girl could jump so high?

He retracted his center of gravity and ran back to the frontcourt, and after the Timberwolves players slowed down by half a beat, they all gave Pekovic a thumbs up and ran to the frontcourt.

The fans at the scene gave applause and cheered, and the momentum of the Timberwolves immediately rose a little in the jump ball.

After a few outside guides, it was sent to Zheng Ke on the flank. "Pull away, pull away!"

Before Zheng Ke could make a gesture, Thibodeau, who was on the sidelines, had already taken the lead in roaring and giving instructions for the Timberwolves players to pull away, apparently to let Zheng Ke single the ball.

Zheng Ke glanced at Thibodeau, who smiled at him. "This coach is really different." Zheng Ke pondered, then collected his thoughts, grabbed the ball with one hand outside the three-point line, and put it behind James out of reach.

James squatted down, one hand stretched out in front of Zheng Ke, and his muscles were tense, like a male lion full of strength. "Left? Right? “

While Zheng Ke was thinking about which way to break through, James was also thinking.

The wind gradually rose, and the momentum between the two continued to collide, exuding a solemn and murderous aura

Suddenly, Zheng Ke moved.

If you don't move, it's just that, and it's amazing. He was like a lightning bolt across the sky, suddenly bursting out with a speed that tore through the heavens and the earth, without any fancy movements, and broke through to James' right side.

The ball moves and the person follows the ball. "What?" James' pupils contracted suddenly, and he subconsciously took a small step back, and then reached out to intercept Zheng Ke. "Bang!"

The muscles of the two collided together, making a blood-pumping crashing sound, and the most primitive collision was no worse than hand-to-hand combat on the inside.

James was knocked out of his arm by Zheng's lunge, loosening a bit of defensive space.

With this terrifying force, Zheng Ke broke through James's defense in the blink of an eye, and then entered the interior line with great momentum. "Stop him!"

James's voice was a little slower, and Zheng Ke had already rushed into the interior at the speed of the wind. "Bang dang!"

Zheng Ke dunked with both hands in the flat frame, and completed this terrifying dunk like a space walk (to be continued......)
