Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 294 The Regular Season Begins

Nima's Qiao Gangzhu, you have too many point guards, give it to me, is it necessary to waste it like this?
And with your weird outside lineup, how are you going to defend against my outside line?

Da Zhuang took a deep look at the Hornets coach Clifford standing on the sidelines, his eyes were full of sympathy, just this weird starter, are you f*cking funny? What makes Da Zhuang feel incredible is that when the double The starting player stood on the court, and he unexpectedly found that Walker was standing in the second position.

Let me go, Walker, who is 1 meters, is facing Middleton, who is 83 meters.

Whose idea is this? How much hatred is this against Kemba Walker, let him come up to suffer this kind of torture?

"Shet, is the Hornets planning to make a mess of this lineup this season?" Smith stood next to Da Zhuang and watched the Hornets' starter on the field, and also gave his own speech.

"In fact, don't underestimate this lineup. Kemba is still very talented in offense. Don't be confused by his height. The Hornets are indeed very imaginative. They want to completely liberate Kemba's offensive talent." D'Antoni, who came to Da Zhuang's side at that time, expressed a different opinion.

After listening to D'Antoni's words, Da Zhuang also calmed down. After thinking about it carefully, it is indeed like what D'Antoni said. Kemba Walker's speed and explosive power are well-known in the league, and he is good at throwing shots after hitting the basket. And the tie rod that breaks through to the basket, and this guy's range on the outside is also guaranteed.

Precisely because of his height, his shooting point is very high, which is also a difficulty in defense. In addition, although Middleton has an advantage in height, he is at a disadvantage in speed.

Not to mention, after thinking about it carefully, Da Zhuang was really interested in the Hornets' lineup.

"However, defensively, if the Hornets use this lineup as the main force this season, I am afraid they will suffer a big loss." Da Zhuang said after thinking for a while.

"Well, I agree with this, so he and Chris are at most a mutual explosion."

Soon after the game started, the situation of the game also confirmed the discussion between the two.

The Hornets are offensively just as D'Antoni said, Lin Shuhao's joining is for the Hornets to better liberate Walker's offensive talent. This guy's explosive power is indeed very strong, and Middleton was caught miserably.

But in terms of defense, he and Lin Shuhao's pair of backcourt double guns are really useless, let alone Middleton, once Yi Jianlian starts to mention the dislocation formed after the high pick-and-roll, that kind of will definitely let you Desperate attack.

Da Zhuang on the sidelines was also thoughtful watching Walker's continuous attack on the inside. When the first quarter of the game reached the first official timeout, Da Zhuang also rearranged the lineup.

"Henry, pay attention to the defense of the inside after you go up, Chris, don't forcefully defend his breakthrough, defend his outside with all your strength, as for him wanting to enter the inside, Henry and Greg will teach him a lesson."

After the timeout, the Timberwolves replaced Yi Jianlian with Sims.

It was this substitution that caused the Hornets' offense on the court to encounter a lot of trouble. In the past few minutes, Kemba Walker's tried and tested means of attacking the inside line was well contained.

Because of Yi Jianlian's defensive problems before, once Walker hit the inside line, Yi Jianlian's defensive speed couldn't keep up. As a result, the pressure on Oden in the three-second zone was much greater, and Walker himself had the ability to pass the ball. Ability, so after rushing into the inside, his connection with Jefferson made the Hornets' offensive momentum very fierce.

But it’s different now. Sims’ advantage lies in his fast movement and strong defensive ability. Therefore, after Sims played, Oden faced much less pressure. In this way, Walker rushed The defensive pressure he faced when entering the paint wasn't just caused by Oden alone.

After the timeout expires the game restarts.

The Hornets failed to score in three consecutive rounds of offense. There is one reason. Walker was blocked. Walker executed all three offenses, and two of them even got two big caps. Oden and Sim One of them loosened one for him.

On the other hand, the Timberwolves' offense, because the success of the defense has brought a surge in morale, and Middleton and Bennett also hit three-pointers from the outside one after another on offense.

The point difference between the two sides also suddenly became double digits within a few minutes.

And this gap in real strength cannot be made up by many of your tactics. This gap is even bigger when the game reaches the second quarter and both sides change their rotations at the same time.

Clifford, who was standing on the sidelines, also changed from a calm face at the beginning to a serious one.

Obviously, Da Zhuang's move directly hit the Hornet's weakness.

However, the opponent found his weakness and defended his attack, but he couldn't defend the opponent's attack.

But after all, it was only a preseason game, and Da Zhuang didn't think too seriously. In the third quarter of the game, after the point difference had reached more than 20 points, Da Zhuang also directly arranged for a substitute to play.

Even Wright got nearly 20 minutes of playing time in this game.

Finally, at the referee's whistle, the game was over.

115 to 108, the score is very close, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Timberwolves basically have no main players on the court in the fourth quarter.

On the contrary, the starting players on the Hornets side played more than 30 minutes.

The two sides even had as many as 24 points when the point difference was the largest, which shows how much advantage the Timberwolves had in the first three quarters.

"You are very strong, congratulations!" After the game ended, Da Zhuang also shook hands with Clifford on the sidelines.

"Thank you, you are also very strong."

In the post-match press conference, Da Zhuang also appeared to be very low-key and praised the Hornets, and he was full of words of praise.

After the press conference, according to the league's schedule, the Timberwolves and the Hornets will go to the Mercedes-Benz Center in Shanghai on October 10 for the second game of the China National Tournament.

However, it is not possible to go to the Shanghai stock market tomorrow, and the alliance still has some partner activities.

According to the plan, the Timberwolves will arrive in Shanghai on the afternoon of the 13th.

"Shu Hao, do you have time in the evening? How about I treat you to dinner? Try the delicacies of Guangdong Province."

"There is time, no problem."

After returning to the hotel and thinking about it, Da Zhuang also contacted Lin Shuhao to deal with Yao Ming's request. This matter really can only be done here, and it will not be suitable when he returns to the beautiful country.
