Head coach of parallel imports in the NBA

Chapter 297 The New Season Begins

"Chen, the Minnesota's personnel changes this summer are the fewest among the [-] teams in the league. Is this the team's plan?"

"Yes, as early as the end of last season, we have already determined the corresponding plan, and this summer's actions are all carried out around this plan."

"What is the goal of the Timberwolves this season?"

"The season has just started, and it's too early to talk about goals. I think the goal at the beginning of the season is to try to play every game as well as possible."

Before entering the arena, Da Zhuang simply dealt with the reporters outside, and then led the team into the Staples Arena.

Indeed, as the reporter said, whether it is the trade market or the free market this summer, the Timberwolves made the smallest moves in the league, and the most completed throughout the summer was contract renewals, and the real signings were only selected from the draft. Wright alone.

Just like today's opponents, the Lakers, completed a deal with the Pacers in the trading market this summer. Because of the impact of Howard's joining, Pacers center Hibbert had some trouble with the team, and then Hibbert wanted to leave The Pacers joined the Lakers and even gave up some guarantees.

In addition, the Lakers also signed Bass and Lo Williams in the free market.

Soon after the warm-up of the two sides, they also returned to the locker room, and there was still the last half hour before the opening of the new season.

The two red buffs obtained by spending all the points were also used by Da Zhuang on Middleton and Bennett.

It is worth mentioning that after exploring the system, to be honest, if it weren’t for the waste of these [-] points, Da Zhuang would really have to give this update a good review. Like the previous buff, it would only be released half an hour before each game. Refresh, and if you don't use more than three, you will never refresh again next time.

But now it's different, the buff can be brushed out in advance, and then make some tactical adjustments based on this, which is very easy for Chen Dazhuang.

Soon the game started with the referee's whistle.

The process of the game was very easy for the Timberwolves. Almost from the very beginning of the game, the Timberwolves basically controlled the situation of the game on the court.

Oden facing Hibbert in the interior is completely suppressed.

Kobe's scoring efficiency on the outside line is honestly age-wise, the Mamba is old, and his shooting percentage in the first quarter is less than 40%, and from some breakthroughs, it can be seen that the influence of age is eroding this player. Stubborn number 24.

Although the eyes are still as sharp and stubborn as ever, this is competitive sports.

No matter how unwilling you are, the reality is like this.

However, the performance of Joe Harris, who was previously traded to the Lakers, made Lakers fans seem to see some future, but there was no change in the game.

In the end, in the opening game of the new season at Staples, the main players of the Timberwolves only played three quarters and successfully clocked out of get off work.

But what makes many NBA fans feel incredible is not that the Timberwolves won, but Jokic who came off the bench.

This guy's performance can be described as stunning.

The most important thing is that you have never encountered such a center forward. You have never seen a center forward running in front of a counterattack. A center who can score from beyond the arc.

In the last round, Hibbert was still facing hard steel in the penalty area. In the next round, he even mentioned the high position and hit a three-pointer. If Oden's suppression made Hibbert miserable, then Jokic's performance It just made Hibbert completely unable to find North, and the most classic thing was that in the last few minutes of the third quarter, Da Zhuang replaced Yi Jianlian with Jokic.

Standing with Oden on the court is a very classic comparison.

Many Huaguo fans saw this picture and gave a classic name for the combination - Black and White Impermanence.

115 to 93, the Timberwolves easily won the opening game of the new season.

It can be regarded as a good start for the new season.

With the end of this game, the results of the other three openers have also been determined one after another.

The Warriors easily defeated the visiting Pelicans 111 to 95 at home, and the Bulls narrowly beat the Cavaliers at home 97 to 95. It is worth mentioning that the biggest credit for the Bulls' victory in this game should be given to Da Zhuang. Because facing the Cavaliers, the defensive tactics adopted by the Bulls are exactly the same as those used by the Timberwolves against the Cavaliers in the finals of last season.

Moreover, Bulls head coach Hoiberg said frankly to the reporters at the post-match press conference that he was inspired by the Timberwolves to choose this defensive tactic.

After the game, some media also predicted that this season’s life in the Eastern Cavaliers may not be easy. In addition to the fact that all Eastern teams have strengthened to a certain extent during the summer, the Cavaliers have problems that have not been well resolved. Will become the focus of the teams in the East.

The last opener was a surprise.

Last season, the Atlanta Hawks, which won the first place in the Eastern Conference and reached the Eastern Conference Finals, faced the Detroit Pistons at home, but eventually lost to the Pistons 94 to 106.

Such a result was unexpected by everyone, and it was also a fact that the tens of thousands of Eagles fans at the scene could not accept.

After the game with the Lakers, the Timberwolves also returned to Apolis.

The opening schedule was fairly friendly for the Timberwolves.

On October 2015, 10, just as the regular season of the new season kicked off, a local newspaper in Minnesota broke the news that former Timberwolves superstar Kevin Garnett had signed with the Timberwolves.

Garnett's contract expired this summer, but there have been rumors that Garnett will retire directly. After that, there have been rumors of a trade between the Nets and Timberwolves for a long time, but in the end it has always been just a rumor.

And this summer, rumors about whether Garnett will retire or continue to play have always been the focus of media reporters.

Now this report seems to be to draw an end to this matter.

On October 10, the Timberwolves held a press conference at the Target Center. As the team's head coach, Chen Dazhuang also attended the scene in person. In addition, Garnett also took over the Timberwolves' No. 29 jersey from Milt.

However, there were also many media predictions afterwards. For the Timberwolves' talented insiders, Garnett's return is more of a sentiment for the Timberwolves, a sentiment with symbolic meaning. According to the comparison of real strength Generally speaking, Garnett basically won't have much playing time in today's Timberwolves.
